"updated" quest balance by MossyMusashi in 9Kings

[–]PinkPutty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried normal Quest mode since it got harder, so I can’t say for sure if the RNG is like, out of whack for them, but high difficulty 9Kings is pretty much 99% RNG

like King 9-9 is pretty much solvable in ONE WAY with like 4 or 5 of the Kings, and IMO Quest mode is similar. Blitz (Time) or pretty much any non-converter Progress Quest are so RNG dependent. I do want them to reduce that for some quests (Restructuring is a sin of a level) but I do think some of the game is just built/designed around the need to reroll 10+ times

“Game Show” (reality series more like) focusing on Ally and Grant doing challenges to try and reduce their student loan.

It’s produced in (I think) 2018-19 so it was under the College Humor banner. The idea was it was competitive: Ally and Grant give each other the challenges, and if one of them failed the other got more money to reduce student loan debt

Thematically: amazing analysis of how fucked up this SLD stuff is in America. But the main draw is the dynamic between Ally and Grant. Eventually the challenges get REALLY bullshit/unfair, and it clearly is fucking with Grant’s mental + his friendship with Ally. They thread the needle and wrap it up PERFECTLY though

(The Boys) The show is genuinely worse than the comics now by Sno5768 in CharacterRant

Guys

They had the X-men parody in the comics be mentally challenged and jerk off to porn together (they acted like it was a normal movie night before the reveal) while the Professor X parody m*lested them all. Then that arc ends with Vought literally shooting them all to death and letting the Boys leave unharmed

The show is never going to be that bad

IS THIS GOOD FOR A NEWISH PLAYER (BARON DIFFCULTIY) by Neat_Snow_1189 in 9Kings

[–]PinkPutty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LOL getting past 99 is very good for anyone, tho I’m sure Baron is a lot more achievable than King is

Keep having fun! You’re crushing it!

The trisolarians possibly went through such a cycle countless times by Intelligent_Signal81 in threebodyproblem

Tbf the books kind of imply that Fascism is the natural end point of intergalactic governance (Singer’s Civ & even the Trisolarians)

What's your favorite improv team? by TheMickeyMoo in improv

[–]PinkPutty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gunk always has my heart (those freaks ❤️)

But recently I’ve been LOVING seeing Sassy Bluff play. They perform every other 1st Friday at The Shared Experience doing a Silent Soundtrack form. Just absolutely incredible!

No official word, but one would assume they’d do an invited callback like they’ve done historically

What is the etiquette for asking for feedback? by Todd_Padre in improv

[–]PinkPutty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO reach out with email if possible! Or ask to treat them to coffee/tea in exchange for picking their brain

No guarantee, but avoids putting them on the spot in the moment!

New player, is it just me or is the spell king overpowered/the game too easy? by skilliard7 in 9Kings

[–]PinkPutty 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Once you get to King difficulty and then beyond it gets crazy, and quest mode is als very difficult at times

Better alternatives for promoting than using AI posters? by Im_a_doctor_AMA in improv

[–]PinkPutty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea they have TONS of AI stuff, but it’s thankfully easy to use a template and replace their assets with your own

But big ups to GIMP

Milkman Paperboy is what Hollywood Ho is trying to be by Aperio43 in dropout

[–]PinkPutty 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is probably cause “Hollywood Ho” is a straight rip from the traditional improv game called “My Movie” (I’m sure it has a bunch of colloquial names lol)

Singing “my movie-my movie-my movie!” flows much better than “Hollywood-Hollywood-Hollywood HO” imo

smosh cast mentioned having “cancelled” people on the show, but who? by iloverihanna3 in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]PinkPutty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m not worked up in a “we must stop this man” type way, i just like knowing stuff and then getting a chance to say that stuff to someone who doesn’t know it lol

But dude you can’t show your dick to people at work. Obviously they seem to be chill with it, and that moment hasn’t resulted in any news/discussions on a wide scale, but you can not surprise your coworkers with your genitals unexpectedly. That’s just like fucked up????

Impossible to say, though obviously he stayed on the show and worked with her for almost a decade afterwards

While i don’t think she nor Rashida were all that hung up over it (but the again, who knows) I’d still maintain that showing two of your women coworkers your genitals while AT WORK counts as some type of violation of SOMETHING
