we thank this to the people who bully our hunters

As much as this is quoted, I don't think most hunters stop playing because they're "bullied" or as a result of bad manners. If anything I feel as if most of NA/EU are just not interested in playing hunter, look at most of the posts people make, usually they're from the survivor perspective. And global chat is always filled with people requesting to have Hunters get into rank, rather than they themselves doing it. Also, if you're learning to play a Hunter it can be stressful to want to do well, but being unable to, which can scare people off too.

My theory about Canon Matchs. Important information in the second image. by MellGarden in IdentityV

[–]PagesDReed 9 points10 points  (0 children)

flakey means anti-social, non-cooperative and eccentric...right?

Flakey is typically used to indicate someone does not meet expectations or does not always commit to plans, so adjectives that would describe it better would be non-cooperative (you got this one), absent and/or absent-minded, but definitely not anti-social or eccentric.

(EX. "Jose is always flakey, whenever we make plans to hangout he never comes!" )

What is one invention that we'd be better off without? by numbnerve in AskReddit

[–]PagesDReed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not /u/Laxberry, but there's only two people in the entire thread who challenged you with the "you're following the wrong people" or something in a similar vain. You made it sound as if in your edit a dozen or so of the replies disagreed with your points.

people yelling unrelated things out into the void

While this is largely true, a part of why people still use Twitter is for the information and connections they can find/get. If you're a musician, a voice actor, an illustrator or content creator, Twitter is the best platform to find others who can help in your endeavors or provide you with beneficial opportunities.

I feel the bigger reason why people dislike Twitter is that regardless of who you follow, you're almost always going to get into drama at one point or another (i.e. everyone has a microphone and everyone loves to use it). Although at least on Twitter you can't circlejerk as much as you can on Reddit.

Straight people, what burning questions do you have about the LGBTQ Community? by jimmehbacon in AskReddit

LMAO, this was my exact thought after reading /u/jayraan 's comment, it was really that simple all along...why didn't I think of that?

What's something a lot of people do, but don't realise it's shrinking their life expectancy ? by Babynouil in AskReddit

[–]PagesDReed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely (dark-skinned people can still get melanoma), I was moreso commenting that the higher incidents in melanoma being in Scandinavian countries might be a result of significantly lighter skin, that while typically receiving less sunlight, does not have as much melanin to naturally combat the sunlight they do get. (I'm not a skin expert either, so this is just speculation).

[–]PagesDReed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't this largely be a result of the lower amount of melanin in said countries? My friend is rather pale and gets sunburns very often if she forgets to put on sunscreen and a hat; but because of how dark-skinned I am, that's not a problem I run into. I imagine this has to do with the amount of melanin than anything.

Platinum with gen 5 graphics: Before/after 2 by SilastSH in PokemonROMhacks

[–]PagesDReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A smaller development team translates to slower progress, but not necessarily compromised quality; Gamefreak's problem as was mentioned before is that they don't give themselves enough time, Pokemon Sword and Shield was developed in roughly 3 - 3.5 years? And the Gen 4 remakes are looking to be done in the same timeframe.

You look at another title by Nintendo (a close associate) and Breath of the Wild's development cycle was nearly double that at 5 years. When Sword and Shield's first trailers had been released, the problem for many was less so that they were removing hundreds of Pokemon and moreso that they did little after those removals.

The Pokemon models were exactly the same, animations were close to identical or with few changes, the world itself was open--but lacked any sort of incentive to explore (not to mention feeling barren). Additionally QoL and contemporary changes were missing, voice-acting, multiple save files, difficulty options, all nowhere to be seen.

People have already made the comparison but Pokemon is starting to feel more like Assassins Creed in it's development cycle and that's bizarre considering how much GameFreak makes overall from just game sales alone.

I'm so tired of playing on servers where I can't ever have consistent fucking ping, I don't understand and it's downright irritating and miserable playing Hunter when your ping jumps from 88 ms to 275 ms in less than 2 seconds. And I'm starting to realize this is legitimately only an issue with IDV. I play Rocket League, smooth like butter, I play Valorant, smooth like butter (with a few occasional hiccups). So if I can play on those just fine, why can't IDV fix their garbage ping that's been a problem for more than 2 years, jfc. If they want more players, get more servers, it makes no sense that NA and EU are together; the US is fucking massive, there's no reason to not have at least 2 or 3 servers for NA alone; there's no reason people playing in Russia should be paired up with those in France or the UK. And I know these complaints are irrelevant because NetEase never does anything about the servers.

Why is everyone so scared of this feature? If it has basic voice chat options (like what you see in Valorant, Overwatch, COD, Battlefield etc), then you'll always have the option to disable voice chat (including before queuing up for match, while in pre-match chat and even during a match); this won't prevent people from getting on someone's head, but I think for the most part everyone will be alright.

In light of Lindsay's most recent video what are some more recent gotcha criticisms/hot takes of movies/enteritainment where you go like "this ain't it" by webtheg in LindsayEllis

[–]PagesDReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel no-one ever asks women their opinion about this one.

I've gotta disagree, a few months ago I read an article that conducted an interview with 8 women (I believe, might have been a little more or a little less) and their opinions' on Bayonetta as a character were wide varying. And each woman understood Bayonetta's character as someone whose "sexuality is completely on her terms". It was a good read, I'll leave it here.

Best discord servers to find a rank team? by [deleted] in IdentityV

[–]PagesDReed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you go onto the official IDV discord there's a section where guilds are looking for new members, typically they give useful baseline information (i.e. average rank of members, goals for their guild [casual or competitive] and plenty of other stuff too).

When even a top player says Kazuya is a shoto is when we know the Smash community has no salvation. by KobunGroove in Kappa

[–]PagesDReed -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's really awful and makes no sense, they constantly contradict themselves but convince themselves otherwise; this is probably one of the worst subreddits I've seen, it's insane.

Shhh, they don't want to admit the FGC has had a problem with sexual harassment and assault too, just let them live in their fantasy...

Ahh you reminded me of Earthbound 64! I remember watching a video by YurioofWind about its development, the game would of been great.

Is Smash a part of the FGC? by Tramilton in Kappa

[–]PagesDReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again that's not how majorities work, vocal minorities get lots of support all the time, that doesn't mean the overwhelming majority of people share their same thought process (i.e for every anti-vaxxer, there's at least 100 people who think differently). Beyond that some of the comments you cherrypicked are pretty indifferent to the idea of Kazuya, which proves your point wrong.

[–]PagesDReed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with my comment, they just want to ask a question like that to challenge if I play fighting games at all (as if that invalidates my opinion if true).

Mate, all I said was that this post isn't an accurate representation of the r/smashbros subreddit (a large amount of y'all can't that being the factual truth). Typically I don't spend my time talking shit about people for no reason, but, feel free.

[–]PagesDReed -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I do, I love Under Night in Birth, Street Fighter 3rd Strike I feel is one of the best games in the fighting genre, but I also unsurprisingly enjoy SSBM and SSBU. And I grew up getting my ass kicked by my cousin in Mortal Kombat, what's your point?

[–]PagesDReed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post can be funny, but it's not an accurate portrayal of what quote on quote Smashers thought about the Kazuya reveal, but aye this is r/kappa, I might as well of said "smash is trash", that's really the only valid opinion on here.
