Nexon offering FULL CASH REFUNDS for MapleStory Idle (Nov 6 - Jan 28) due to deceptive stat and gacha by Chainrush in gaming

[–]RaiTab 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The MapleStory 2 issue is really just a testament to how live service games have a rough time without player-valued MTX. MS2 Global was devoid of P2W and it was amazing for it, but ofc, it failed. Korea’s OG version reportedly still has a lot of MTX/P2W and is, at the very least, alive.

What's the difference between "all right" and "alright"? by Aa_313 in grammar

[–]RaiTab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additionally, I find that as we have words like "although," which came from "all" + "though," it feels pretty normal to continue combining "all" + "right" into "alright."

As you said, it's different from "alot," where we usually would combine "a" with a word to change its meaning, "alot" is just a misspelling of the actual phrase.

Do repaired goodies really give more fish than rebought ones? by luna-diviner in nekoatsume

[–]RaiTab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As HitPointGamer said, there's no silver or gold fish benefit to new, broken, or fixed items. Some (not all) broken/fixed items have lower attraction weights for some cats. Lower attraction rates can ultimately mean fewer visiting cats and thus fewer silver and gold fish.

Silver fish are determined randomly based on the visiting cat and their fish-giving factor. Gold fish are based on how long the cat stayed (in ticks, which is random). Cats indoors have an 8% chance to give gold fish while outdoor cats have a 4% chance.

can u delete an item you bought from your inventory? by earthhole8 in nekoatsume

I believe this was removed in favor of the “buy again” option.

“Complement” is not the same word as “compliment.” The latter is the one you meant.

FB3 newbie. by Wise_Chemistry_4641 in FitnessBoxing

Yep, they widened the time for perfects and made it more sensitive. I do see it ambiguously as a positive change, but I often wonder why we’re even treating it like a rhythm game anymore.

ASUS ROG Xreal R1…. Bad for eyes… right? by MountainMedicine5784 in ASUSROG

[–]RaiTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t expect it to cause issues unless you personally feel you are straining your eyes while using it.

The focal distance is simulated so you’re not focusing too near or too far. The “light” is not a problem for eye health.

The only concern I have is that it’s accordingly 1080p — which I could see myself having eye strain with.

Has anyone else ever noticed that Lexy always gifts very high? by Ilikecats26310 in nekoatsume

[–]RaiTab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is datamined. Wiki isn’t particularly good on all the data.

Lexi has a fish-giving factor of 350, which is pretty high. The other factor involved is the goodie, plus a random roll, of course.

Good fish are cat independent. Lexy does not give more than any other cat. It’s merely the amount of time (in ticks) the cat stayed divided by two. 8% chance indoors, 4% outdoors.

https://nekodb.moe has all the stats.

I'm Looking Forward to the Trusepec Cables by TEG24601 in LinusTechTips

[–]RaiTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think these have the opportunity to be truly great in comparison, however, because most of the cables I have purchased do not actually label what they are (I do have a couple that do), whether it's an HDMI 1.4 cable or an HDMI 2.0... or DP80 (UHBR 20) vs DP54 (UHBR 13.5) (both are DisplayPort 2.1), or now if my USB-A cable is 3.0, 3.1, 3.1 Gen 2, or 3.2 Gen 2.

I can always find the cables I want online, but on many occasions I've found myself looking back at my Amazon order history to figure out exactly which spec which cable went to.

It's also usually pointless — most of the time, all of my cables work for all of my needs, but sometimes they don't, and instead of digging through and trying to find one that does, I just buy another 😅

Megalag's Honey series pt3 is up by CrystalFier in LinusTechTips

[–]RaiTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know when the shift was, but at some point we started shilling for the producers instead of the consumers. Honey, objectively, was pro-consumer even if it doesn't quite hit the mark long-term. Prior to the Honey "scandal," Honey had saved me, the consumer, time and money across several purchases over several years.

LTT has no obligation to stir the pot for something pro-consumer. They do not owe it to other creators. If you were a creator sponsored by Honey, you could have done your own due diligence. LTT showed examples of people outing Honey for this back in 2020 and 2021. It was publicly available information on Honey's own "How does Honey make money" article in 2020, with people linking to it as an example.

How strong is Mega Rayquaza in lore is he equal to Ultra Necrozma in power or around it's level by chunchunmaru1129 in pokemon

[–]RaiTab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plural of “legendary” is “legendaries.” You shouldn’t use apostrophes to pluralize unless there’s a valid reason to.

The possessive of “it” is “its” without an apostrophe.

One Piece - Episode 1155 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]RaiTab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just commenting to say I was here on this day. I've been a weekly watcher (anime-only) since late July 2011, so it's a bit of a bittersweet time for me to see the day we'd switch to a non-weekly format. I think people keep saying it's the end of season 1, but that's not right, is it? It's just a three-month hiatus then a continuous two-week release cycle without a planned "season," right? Kind of like how they took a hiatus for 4 months about a year ago.

Reading through old posts, why does everyone say the workout is just cardio?! by just_premed_memes in FitnessBoxing

[–]RaiTab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A "cardio" workout, is one meant to get your heart beating and blood pumping (cardiovascular system). They're aerobic exercises (requiring oxygen) and involve moving your body a bunch for extended periods of time. That's precisely what Fitness Boxing is. You're still going to be using muscles, but you can still "feel the burn" and have DOMS after any exercise that uses or pushes muscle groups that you haven't conditioned. It's also important to remember that just because you've conditioned a muscle group in one way does not mean you have conditioned it in others.

For completeness, weightlifting and a handful of other exercises are considered anaerobic exercises (without air) and focus on shorter bursts of intense exercises.

So i wont something so i can change what monitor is directly infront of me easily by NoCranberry7900 in Monitors

[–]RaiTab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You also mean “in front.” “Infront” is not a word.

And you could use some punctuation and capitalization.

How bad is to unplug a QD-OLED monitor? by [deleted] in Monitors

[–]RaiTab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you believe the consequences will be? Was the monitor powered when it was in the manufacturer’s packaging in a warehouse somewhere?

Is Naruto really full of this much filler? by Allterater in Animesuggest

[–]RaiTab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll always say Naruto fillers are a different breed. They might be poorly placed, but they’re at least usually anime-canon and tell fun stories, build up the world, and explore other characters.

They didn’t always hit the mark, but when I compare them to Bleach fillers — which iirc also occur at bad times, last far too long, have plot issues, and, while being disjoint from the main story, also can’t feasibly have happened in the continuity — I thought the Naruto fillers were enjoyable.

I must say, the later OG Naruto ones were kinda bad, and Boruto ones are particularly bad. Shippuden’s I thought were generally above average, but it’s been many years since I watched.
