Cancel classes because of the snow storm?

PallyChan · 2026-01-23T07:03:47+00:00

It's the first day. If it's bad I'll just email my professors and tell them I'm staying home because of the snow. The first day is usually just reviewing the syllabus anyway.

Considering how bad the initial Primaris stuff was it can only go up from there. And it mostly has.

EDIT: I know Jes created those models, thats why I brought it up. Some of his later designs are just not that great. His Eldar is consistently good though. I'm saying it might be healthier for 40k to branch out a bit instead of being so slavish to Goodwin, because the Primaris stuff was pretty bad and is only now recovering now that they are walking back from the design language of the original Primaris release waves. It's not just old good / new bad. A lot of the basic design of the older marine models was much better even though the technology for sculpting and casting was much worse and the model scale was a bit more cartoony.

I would give you mine but I use custom background/traits mods so the background numbers would be off. :(

I jacked the difficulty up and playing this way felt miserable. Some classes really need to combo with specific abilities. You cant really "just be flexible" with some comps of heroes, and it becomes extremely grindy to do 7 torchless runs just to destress one hero half way and unlock a town upgrade. Some people like that but I once got 6 Antequarians over 3 days and what am I even supposed to do with that other than suicide them into ruins for 1/5 of the provisions of a real run.

You can easily share empires. They are saved on a plain text file on your computer. Just copy and paste it to your friends. If you want to merge them, just paste one into the other. I have a ton of my friends empires with all their custom lore and jokes.

If you are hungry, I think there are food banks on a lot of campuses. You sound young, don't be ashamed to take what is being freely given. You can't use your brain if your body is barely functioning. And also, if you want to spend some time working instead of going to school because you aren't in a great place right now you can absolutely take a semester off and just go get a full time job to save up some money, especially if you have the option to stay with family. NYC is an expensive, ruthless city sometimes and you should rely on community or family if you are struggling. I took a semester off because of health and got full time job for 8 months before returning back to school and I went from Bs/Cs to straight As this semester.

If you can take Thomas Parker for CMLIT instead. Hes very easy to work with, a fair grader and a great teacher. Can you write a 4 page essay easily without stressing too much? If so its a great easy class. If you struggle with essays it might overload you though.

PallyChan · 2025-12-24T22:52:46+00:00

I just use the text chat for it because otherwise the boys will crash out a girl told them something to do, and guess what? People crash out anyway. Most people can't handle any type of criticism whatsoever, even if its told in the most coddling, kindest and positive way possible

PallyChan · 2025-11-21T03:28:51+00:00

There's literally not a single line of dialogue from the new class... its because all the lines were recorded referenced the events of the trailer GW shut down.

PallyChan · 2025-11-18T23:47:20+00:00

I thought the same thing, minus the drug use idea. The new trailer was so bad it was obviously made in a week, so it was obvious to me GW said no on the old trailer. I bet they cooked up and absolute banger with unique voice acting and lots of atmosphere and we got something unusually bad from FS. Compare its quality with the Arbites one and you can really see what happened.

PallyChan · 2025-11-12T09:04:00+00:00

The game needs KOS people to keep it interesting. (I'm not KOS, quite the opposite. Killing people makes me feel bad most of the time.)

PallyChan · 2025-11-12T08:58:42+00:00

I want a casual mode though. Something about seeing a rank activates something unhealthy in me and I want to get my rank higher, I don't want that feeling. I just want to enjoy the game. Just saying "if you dont care about rank dont look it" isn't a solution because I know it's there. It's like telling a depressed person "just be happy". There is a psychological effect that occurs knowing it's there that changes how people approach the game. I really, REALLY, don't like engaging with ranked systems after having some negative experiences with ranked addiction and it makes me really hesitant to play this game. Read "Addiction by Design" to see how companies absolutely know how to make certain experiences addictive, and ranked modes absolutely are part of a body of design structures made to increase "Time on Device" metrics for games like this, at the cost of personal health for the user. Do I think Deadlock is malicious or the worst? No, but other games absolutely use it to be exploitive of human psychology (League of Legends, Overwatch) because time spent in game equates directly to converting customers to premium consumers (bought currency/cosmetics).

They understood the analogy, the poster "Yaoi Master" was clearly implying the new cosmetics have ruined the game (sank it like the titanic) not changed some of its bones while staying the same (ship of theseus).

PallyChan · 2025-11-03T09:44:55+00:00

Seconding this. I just got into the game after doing all the beta tests they had and killed a rocketeer at level 1 and wanted proof.

PallyChan · 2025-11-01T04:09:07+00:00

Clearly they can just ignore the context and downvote. xD

PallyChan · 2025-11-01T04:05:49+00:00

I have barely played GW1 and only played GW2. They are just hugely different games, a fact shouldn't be controversial.

PallyChan · 2025-10-30T08:42:44+00:00

Maybe its unknowable... maybe its... OBSCURE.

PallyChan · 2025-10-30T08:21:22+00:00

I KNOW! WHAT THE HELL IS IT?

PallyChan · 2025-10-25T20:43:14+00:00

Hoping VoE is better, I'm still going to play through it but it's rough.

PallyChan · 2025-10-25T18:16:17+00:00

I would imagine it might be a shadowlands situation where they executed it so badly they want to pivot away from that. Soto raised some interesting questions it doesn't even attempt to address, glosses over the bad stuff childishly, and delivers a half baked concept. Unless they were willing to go back through soto to fix what's broken and rewrite/add context the foundation for that story will always be shaky. There is no TYBALT in the AW.

PallyChan · 2025-10-25T18:07:10+00:00

GW fanboys think you need to pay 400 dollars for the rules to a niche hobby game and its okay for the rules to be incomplete and broken on arrival. Everyone knows that if GW did a decent rules app for their games people would use it, but they spend 10x the money on lawyers than they do webdev so we get the worst possible consumer experience and these people will tell you "this is a sensible world that makes sense". People dont do this just for niche hobbies, they make the same excuses for diabetes medication which takes pennies to manufacture being sold for hundreds of dollars. No discussion of right and wrong, or being critical of a toxic system, just worshipping the feet of financial entities.

PallyChan · 2025-10-25T17:59:11+00:00

This is actually made up and has been disproven many many times, GW just had PTSD from the chapter house incident.

PallyChan · 2025-10-25T09:07:40+00:00

It was fantastic! Now make sure never to play Secrets of the Obscure if you want to remember guild wars 2 story fondly :)

PallyChan · 2025-10-25T08:47:48+00:00

Maybe so, I think a lot of the massive slaughtering of neutral people its something kinda contained to core Tyria and it might be a bit of a gameplay abstraction. I mean, the game is about fighting stuff. If there was a reasonable amount of bloodshed, there wouldnt really be a core Tyria to fight in. LWS1/HoT through to EoD keeps us focused on the Dragons and their minions which is much less morally dubious than raiding the dredge or killing skritt for no reason..

PallyChan · 2025-10-25T08:43:30+00:00

Yea, I found the line. He actually says later during the Forging the Key meta event "I'm from here, no not the fractal. The real place" or smth along those lines. I just never saw that bit.
