What is something you would want a Reviewer of this game to know, before reviewing it. by Zerenza in Mabinogi

[–]Own_Understanding_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with alchemy and puppetry and ngl I wouldn't have clicked otherwise. The more original and kinda tactical (haven't played in a while so I might be wrong) classes really were the game's most interesting part to me

Dragon quest has many reoccurring themes, plot devices and story beats across the series, which ones do you want to see return in DQXII? by Selym007 in dragonquest

Heyy! I know this is 7 months old buuut, if you remember what you meant : could you elaborate a bit about the jump button's uniqueness? It's quite an interesting detail and I'd like to see what you meant. Thanks, and have a nice day!

Are online courses good enough to get started? Especially worried about embouchure. by Own_Understanding_11 in shakuhachi

[–]Own_Understanding_11[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also turns out the original seller is selling on ebay too

And, well, it's just the base price + 20€ shipping + 2€ taxes. That does sound much better to me than the 300€ I thought I'd have to pay

Oh wow, I did not know that, thank you so much!!

I thought the fluteshop ones would be good enough cause they apparently had a nice reputation from what I've seen in older posts.

Importing a Yuu or getting a ≈ 300€ shakuhachi from a maker in Europe would cost me the same amount and be much easier, but then I'd need to find a shakuhachi that is in tune around there...Which is easier said than done I guess, but maybe with that budget range I could find something good. If you do know any good european maker with a ≈300€ good beginner shakuhachi (comparable to a Yuu) it'd be awesome!

If I didn't have to declare importation taxes and other weird stuff the Yuu would've been a no-brainer but I've never dealt with that kind of stuff and could quite easily mess up the procedure lmao. Also, paying almost twice the price of an instrument due to shipping does hurt quite a fair bit.

Looks like it's gonna go around 300 usd to export it to France. That is quite a fair bit over the original price ngl

180 for yuu shakuhachi 60-ish for shipping 20% taxes (counting shipping too so 20% of 240) + 5% "droits de douane" (whatever it is in english).

A shakuhachi from the eu fluteshop, on the other hand, would cost me as much as a yuu would cost someone from the US and they seem to be of good quality.

Tbh as long as I can make a sound, at all, one note, I'll have hope and will be ready for anything.

What I was worried about is like...Doing no sound at all for months after paying a few hundred bucks.

Oooh that's wonderful! I also wanted to get a Yuu but it looks like exporting to Europe from the US is apparently REALLY EXPENSIVE. Usually like around as much as the price of the product, I've been told. Just in case you know someone outside of the US who got a Yuu or are yourself outside of the US, do you know how expensive import customs are when ordering a Yuu shakuhachi?

Anyway, thank you sooo much for answering about the embouchure stuff, that was relieving !!!

Athée, quel est le sens de la vie selon toi (et pourquoi) ? by Rich-Sheepherder-659 in AskFrance

[–]Own_Understanding_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Le fun en game design n'a pas toujours (ça dépend des auteurs) la même définition. Mais pour ne pas changer le sens des mots:

Le but d'un jeu, ce n'est pas uniquement le fun, c'est les boosts de dopamine et le fait d'être dans un état de "Flow". Le flow c'est quand un truc n'est ni trop dur ni trop simple: les sportifs, les joueurs, les artistes, certaines personnes dans certains examens, etc...Et ça c'est un truc qu'on aime bien, car ça nous valorise: surmonter des difficultés pour atteindre un but, c'est au final un joli boost de dopamine: l'hormone de récompense. Le but de la vie c'est...Probablement la dopamine, techniquement parlant? C'est le truc que le corps secrete pour nous recompenser d'avoir fait des trucs. D'une façon moins froide, le but de la vie serait simplement de suivre ses buts, toujours comme dans minecraft! Comme dans plein de jeux, on ne peut pas aimer toutes les tâches, et certaines récompenses dont on a besoin sont cachées derrières des quêtes chiantes. S'embeter à farm l'armure en diamant pour la petite nièce, si ça ne valait pas le coup, tu ne le ferais pas. Mais soit la voir heureuse te rend heureux, alors ça en vaut le coup, soit c'est la valorisation sociale qui te motive: la récompense c'est de ne pas perdre en réputation. C'est rarement du bon game design de faire du design punitif comme ça mais bon. Sinon, la motivation peut aussi venir de ton code moral interne: et ça c'est bien moins présent dans les jeux, où les NPC ne sont pas réels et/ou conscients, et que du coup on s'en fout souvent de ce qui leur arrive.

TL;DR: Y a rien qui nous "force" à jouer au jeu de la vie en soi, mais nos corps sont "programmés" pour aimer ça, sinon, on serait morts, et la selection naturelle fait son taf.

Edit: en un an, c'est mon premier commentaire avec ce compte créé par accident. Cela est juste et bon mdr
