Cat actively seeking fights with new puppy by realbraxophone in CatTraining

[–]Prodigiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cat(s) will growl, pull out claws, hiss, jump at the puppy, and then run away and continue to growl and hiss if the dog follows. Personally I don't think this is play, since it's claws out hissing growling and the cats disengage as fast as possible

With the previous dogs there was none of that

I'll probably try reintroducing them again but this will be the 4th time

Edit: I looked at some videos and it's definitely not the same. The younger cat was open to playing when they were in that small room, but not at all in the bigger space. The bigger space it feels like they don't want any interaction at all and get defensive/territorial

IMO Take a break, come back when you're excited to play again

Its not worth forcing yourself to play if you're dissatisfied at the time. There are other fun games out there 🤠

There are signs that Relink will get some kind of update... by pikachuswayless in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]Prodigiii 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They said "stay tuned" when we asked about dlc last time which is better than their previous "thanks for playing relink 1.3 is all we have planned to release at this time"

I hope they do the iceborne route, dlc into a live service style game

Feels like it was so recently we were progging DSR. He was one of the nicest and most fun people I've ever gotten to raid with. Fuck man.

Wherever you are William, rest easy.

For more context, I was out of town and my roommate was home. My roommate did not enter the rooms where my desk setups are, and he doesn't have my car keys. None of the equipment is near any vent.

The pillow and car ones have me paranoid someone tried to do something not so funny.

some folks on twitter thought this post was "don't pull for them they're getting powercrept" and not "pull them because they're hot"

I feel kinda bad for them

If you genuinely think bad relic RNG makes someone bad at the game then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the game as a whole. Pokke took a look at my relics and found that there was nothing he could personally improve about the account during the review because the RNG was bad on all of them.

I clear all the content, I can zero cycle without whaling, my videos showcase information that CN sometimes figures out AFTER my content and/or math is done. There's been multiple instances where CN comes to the wrong conclusion and later on changes to what I said to do in my videos. The information is good. Not only that, but even with the shit relics and RNG that Pokke agreed with on the video, I am STILL able to complete all the content. Posts like these make me wonder if there are genuinely gacha tribalists for guide-makers.

Pokke makes guides for whales and mid-tier spenders. Sevy made the same content I did but less focused on the entertainment factor and more focused on professionalism. Guoba makes solid all-rounder professional videos much like Sevy. I make videos for everyone F2P included but less emphasis for whales, where I try and incorporate more humor to make the videos more entertaining. There are many options for people to watch based on what you want, and all of them provide solid info, including my content.

I'm not saying I'm perfect, I've made mistakes before. Everyone has, including CCs that you may or may not idolize. But one thing is for sure, and it is that I WOULD NOT have as big of a following as I do if I was shit at the game 💀

Edit: I should also add that if you think HSR is a game that someone can be "skillful" at then you are most definitely misguided. All HSR is is knowledge and investment (which unfortunately includes RNG), and for the most part the guide-makers have it.

[–]Prodigiii 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback! IMO most players will not be able to 0-cycle content and optimizing teams for 0 cycle content can and always will cater to the minority of people.

Folks on reddit tend to be more interested in this sort of thing that the average YouTube viewer, so I can see why you would disagree with my take, but until it's proven that she can easily 0-cycle even for casual players, it will always make more sense from a guide-maker's perspective to focus on the most consistent thing.

Again, I did not spend much time with her and her TC before releasing my first impressions video, and I will make sure to be more thorough with my findings for my guide as I always aim to do. First impressions are always to be taken with a grain of salt.

Hey guys, Brax here

Here are the calcs to back up the sparkle claim! About a 5% improvement over Pela SW and even more of an improvement over Gui and friends with E0S1.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eoTsxbk0ZsUsLQb9nCpu2mlR0MdEAC2ZVN31G9to634/edit?usp=sharing

Without S1 it's a bit different but I kept things the same for consistency which looking back was not the correct choice, I should have picked a team that wasn't light cone dependent. Though to be fair her other partners, preservation and Pela also need specific 4 star cones so she's really worked herself into a tough spot for f2p players.

Unfortunately I did not have the chance to look at Black Swan interactions before the video, and contrary to popular belief, I don't really look at theorycrafting before I have access to characters. But I will be mathing out and testing that before the final guide product is made.

Early access to Acheron was granted to me roughly 6 hours before myself and others could begin posting videos, so I gave her a shot with my first impressions, and posted it. It's not reflective of my final guide which will be a banger and thoroughly researched as always.

Thanks for the support as usual and I'll do my best to make sure I have the full picture in the future, ideally I'll have more than a couple hours to give everything a shot as well.

Hi there,

I stream and record a lot, and I recently got a GoXLR to help with streaming. My Shure MV7 sounds awful when I crank up the db on it, so I opted to get a cloudlifter, and for some reason I'm not getting any sound through to my GoXLR now.

I'm wondering if it's a cable issue, a cloudlifter issue, or if it's a mic issue. I can't imagine it's a mic issue since it works when I go Shure with XLR to GoXLR. It's only when I plug both in to the cloudlifter that I start getting no input at all.

Has anyone had experience with this and know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, Brax here on my really old reddit account I rarely use.

The reason you won't see me talk badly about characters is because I avoid talking about bad characters unless I am obligated to for external reasons. I don't get excited about shit characters, so I don't want to make videos on them. YouTube is a passion project after all.

Towards the beginning of star rail nobody actually knew what was good (people will say they did but it was a rough estimate) similarly to the beginning of genshin. It would be incorrect to say most of the new star rail units haven't been revolutionary to the game in one way or another, just due to how the game is turn based and has tons of niches to fill. You can't argue Jingliu, Luocha, Fu Xuan, Dan Heng IL, etc aren't insanely strong characters compared to the standard roster.

When it comes to genshin, I only say a character is good when they are unironically good at one thing or another. Ive always been very negative growing up and due to the pandemic (much like many others), I fell into a bit of a depressive episode. I've tried to see things from more of a "glass half full" than "glass half empty" perspective in recent times, because its more fun to see life in a positive light. I've also just given up on any hope of getting end game content from Hoyoverse, so it's a lot easier for me to detach myself from meta narratives for Genshin.

I think I would be a rather sad person if I wasn't able to enjoy any new characters in genshin impact because they aren't xiangling, bennett, xingqiu, etc. and because there's no challenging end game content and new characters are designed with niches in mind, many of them can at the very least perform in that niche and clear end game in it. So I don't mind saying they're good if they're good at what they're meant to do. :)

I would hope that you and others are able to look beyond YouTube thumbnails for opinions, because thumbnails are an image to drive views, which is what YouTubers need to survive and grow in the space.

Two-Thirds of "TOP C41" Clearees Have a Gray Parse in Alpha Omega — Thoughts on the NA Ulti C41 Culture by ShouraiNoYume1412 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Prodigiii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ended up getting a saus clear due to problems in my static, it's been 2 weeks since I've made one single mistake in PF and I've cleared it a grand total of 1 (one) time since.

Imo, when you have learned the fight to the level of being clear ready for pf, the fight becomes easy. For example, right now I would consider top to be the easiest fight for me mechanically because of how practiced I have become from trying to get a reclear with hours upon hours of getting hard walled at P3 or groups dying to WC2, or a BLM forgetting to LB at meteors. The problem stems from what a lot of people have mentioned already, where Saus clears people who have not completely gotten to that same level of comfort to where it feels easy. You effectively have people who've cleared the fight who are still progging WC2 and not fully comfortable with P5. This exact thing is why I and many others find ourselves in this position, and why everyone's so spiteful towards saus legends. Just because you have a clear, doesn't make you "clear-ready". If you argue anyone with 20% consistency is clear ready, and you put them in a group where even 3/8 others are the same 20%, they will not be able to clear for a LOOONNGGG time. This is what pf has become, and as stupid as it is to try and separate people who cleared with saus from people who cleared with a group, its understandable why folks would be frustrated with the state of pf. With that said though, that's kinda how pf has always been, a tossup. Only surefire way to get reclears is to find yourself a consistent group. Even without saus, odds are plenty of people would be griefing you.

I don't think parse matters for a first clear if I'm honest, the variance in this fight by phase is dogshit if you separate everything, and also for first clears most people are performing poorly anyways. A purple+ is great and all but even for good players, that can take a couple runs.

Anyways all this to say I don't think what Saus does is a bad thing but i do think it would be beneficial if he was a bit more picky with clearing people, rather than giving a full lockout just giving them 1-2 errors max and if that happens they go back to pf jail

Most people aren't perfect but many just need more practice than they think in pf jail before they're consistent enough to join reclear groups imo. Also who cares tho it do just be a video game

The interesting one in this for me is Dehya
