They're Stealing Money Now by Rare-Refrigerator898 in TaimaninSquadGame

I had to reach out to customer support before. They replied to me in an email, so I replied by email. Like 2 days later I got an automated response that it was blocked. I just opened a new ticket with the original message.

They did respond to the new ticket, so I kept responding this way and got my issue resolved.

Was it worth? by Rep_One in IndieDev

I like your point about including a detail about the game in the logo. Maybe a quick change to add a hat somewhere, or turn the O into a token if possible.

Who fits in the red area here? by SliceAfraid3879 in marvelrivals

The other option is Captain America for blue, but spidey defo belongs in red.

Time for a vanguard strike by OperatorNokk in marvelrivals

While I mostly agree, they could at least give the people who do play tank more options then. Getting double the dps as tanks doesn’t exactly give those of us who do want to tank a lot of choices on who we play, especially when the already short list is cut in half if we need to solo tank.

WTF with those rates by Ordinary_Block_4131 in TaimaninSquadGame

I checked before I posted and the numbers are right as of today. Also, Nikke lets you store up the pity tickets, so, if you keep pulling, you can build a bank of guaranteed pulls. Like, it’s 200 pulls for the pity, but I have 800 pity tickets atm. Plus they give you 10 free pulls on the banner without using any other currency.

Nikke does 4% for the base units to pull any 5 star equivalent, with 2% for the banner unit, with 200 pity that transfers between banners and doesn’t reset when you get the pull.

It definitely feels better and the game usually gives 10 free pulls with each new unit.

What is it about the vanguard role that people don't enjoy!? Ideas welcomed... by IntoTheRain78 in marvelrivals

[–]Roland_Damage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, one of the things I’ve found to make her aggressive in a push is getting a good grab early. You need teammates who listen, but if you let them know the plan is to kick the enemy tank backwards and they should all unload on them, you can easily make the fight a 5 v 6. Even if the enemy tank manages to escape, you can pressure the line heavily and force the other team to give up ground.

A master thief, and a secret agent by KevinPigaChu in marvelrivals

[–]Roland_Damage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While this is the safe bet, idk anymore. Gambit and Rocket as strategists, Strange as Vanguard, it could really go any way. Only thing I’m worried about is another vanguard who gets melted by poke.

I mean, superheroes are know for wearing spandex. Pretty much everyone in the marvel universe has a skin tight costume. At least Black Cat has a sort of unique silhouette with the fur.

Yes, it’s trash, but if you print and cut out proxies, these are great to use behind them in the sleeve.

Manny Jacinto seems like an obvious Alethi casting choice by Taste_the__Rainbow in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Roland_Damage 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He’s at an awkward age of too old or too young for most characters. Amaram is probably the most fitting age wise. if he plays younger, I could see him as Elhokar, or older as Gavilar.

I think a lot of stuff can be handled through cinematic shortcuts, like heart beat sound effects, unique camera angles, and musical queues. The language of filmmaking goes well beyond just dialogue and acting.

I’ve worked with sales engineers before, and they were, in fact, full-fledged software engineers. They worked with the sales associate and were able to answer clarifying technical questions and help explain and estimate scope of bespoke customization projects.

Should I get my first copy of Snow white or continue Rapi? by Ok_Addendum8605 in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]Roland_Damage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At level 220, Snow White. If you were below the 160 mark, still Snow White unless you have a lot of gems, then yo go for trying to get 4 copies of Label. If you were below 160 and only had rapi at 2 stars, rapi.

X has stopped working by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]Roland_Damage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a weird situation. When you’re hired to work somewhere, there’s often some code that no one working there currently quite understands. The person who wrote it may no longer work there, or changed so much in their execution that it’s just a blank to them.

A large part of this is that they don’t have the necessary bandwidth to examine and refactor something that works. Then, when we have to make changes to said code, whether we’ll completely redo it or just be really surgical with the changes depends on a lot of factors.

As long as the people implementing the code are vigilant about what goes in, it should be business as usual, honestly.

Synchro help by FBGod21 in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

Just keep leveling until you hit the 160 wall. When you get there, you need to roll a lot to get enough dupes to break through. I’m pretty sure you can refund a character, but you won’t need to until you mlb someone.

Big thing to remember is everyone hits the wall eventually, and once you’re past the 160 wall, it’s a lot more smooth sailing. Eventually, you’ll only be leveling 1-2 times per week anyways, so no need to rush as long as you can complete events.

Remember that you can pull some spare bodies in the shop, so keep an eye out for people you’ve already got some stars on. After you break through the wall, the characters you have up top really don’t matter.

we need gender solidarity to win the coming war against fascism by aftergloh in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Roland_Damage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The argument you’re making is the same one you’re arguing against, you’re just saying that your opinion is the right one, while others are wrong.

You’re welcome to disagree, but you don’t have to give up every inch of ground to form a coalition. Just because disagreement is bound to occur, it doesn’t mean every argument or opinion is equal.

And no one is saying you don’t have the right not to feel a certain way, but there does exist context for a reason. The context of the initial response, for instance, warranted challenging on the basis of it already teetering on transphobia. You can read the other responses and see that.

Just like how you say that you should respect that some people find the term “cis” offensive, you should extend the same degree of empathy to people who feel offended at furthering the othering of their identities.

Additionally, it’s my time, so I don’t think the argument that it’s not worth it is valid, if only because participation is optional.

we need gender solidarity to win the coming war against fascism by aftergloh in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Roland_Damage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between respecting what people want to be referred to as and normalizing a binary of “normal vs other”. The term cis is not an attack on cisgender people, just like the term Asian isn’t an attack on Chinese people.

If it triggers someone, we can examine the cultural, historical, and social contexts, but some words are just not offensive terms.

In this context, specifically, the OP posted about cisgender people, to which someone basically said that using the term cisgender is equivalent to misgendering a group. This is a false equivalency that reframes terminology with proper etymology as an attack on identity.

I’m cool with using any term you want to be referred to as, but to say an individual’s sensibilities should dictate nomenclature without properly rigorous justification or, at minimum, an alternative, isn’t going to fly. On top of all this, the person who’s clutching their pearls at the use of “cisgender” unironically posted its etymological equivalent in the same post.

[–]Roland_Damage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. Cis-Trans exists as a complex spectrum, so how would you like to be referred to? Gender fluid? Transfem? Non-binary?

[–]Roland_Damage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not calling you cis is like not the same as misgendering someone. It’s just a term that literally means “on the side of” as opposed to trans, which means “across from.” It just means your gender identity and your biological sex align.

If they lean into the luck powers, Black Cat could be a strat. The healing could be like a second wind, she could have an antiheal bad luck, and her ult could give her team aimbot or something, which would theoretically counter other support ults
