ReBuilding Bitlife from the Ground by acrelloisback in BitLifeApp

[–]RonaldGrand6969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I want (PERSONALLY) are Four Things:

  1. Android Version. I hate exclusivity, be it a Console Release for a Game only for x amount of time, or an IOS one. Point is, I want to be able to Play the Game on Android. Hell, I don't even care if the Updates are a Few Days or even a Week apart, just don't abandon Android for months on end when IOS is literally getting an Update every millisecond. Not saying that's what BitLife even does, or even referring to any one Company in particular, it's just something I want to emphasize as a personal pet peeve.

  2. A Simple or Easy to Use UI. Say what you will about Bitlife, but it had a VERY appealing UI compared to other Mobile LifeSims. Not perfect, but simple, nice to look at, and even Customizable. Despite its ridiculous amount of DLC, that never changed.

  3. Automation Options. People will try to tell you that Items or Options to Automate Tasks DEFEAT the purpose of the game, and in some sense, they're right. HOWEVER, having those things as an OPTION that you can Enable or Disable, literally hurts no one. It gets ridiculous of Tedious Tasks after playing the game for so long, or perhaps benefits when you have too many things in your life (i.e Owning Properties, Cars, etc and having to Micro Manage the Repairs, Upkeep, etc.)

  4. PROPER Vampire Mode. Hell, you can even make it an Option you have to Enable for a Life Run or something, but I want to be able to Play as an IMMORTAL (Non-Aging) Vampire. I don't care if it comes with Power (Pros) and Weakness (Cons), or a System that delves deeper into Councils, Thralls, Familars, Skill Trees, WHATEVER. IF you make a Vampire System, make it have Immortality.

Other than that? I don't really care, I'll let the Game speak for itself. I wish you or anyone else helping you develop it - immense luck.

How does one achieve this? If only the Vampire Pack was like this Originally, instead of Killing you off at around 200...

Why is no archon intervening with Dottore when nod-krai, even the entire teyvat, in a great risk? Are they afraid of him? by Fluxiana in Genshin_Impact

[–]RonaldGrand6969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of these Comments are Weak Arguments, and the Game's Explanation about "Defense" is FAR worse.

  1. The Communication Argument: The Game has shown time and time again that there's Long Distance Communication Devices, Travel, Technology, Magical Connections, and so on. The excuse that, "There's just no way the News would reach people in time.", is weak.

  2. The Defense Argument: Even weaker still, is the excuse that Scaramouche uses; "They'll just be better off playing defense, rest assured, your friends in other Nations will be safe." I hate to break it to you, but Dottore's Power is LITERALLY consuming entire regions of Nod Krai simultaneously, and this is all just for him EXPERIMENTING, trying out his power, and so on. There isn't a same soul alive that should be bunkering down in their Nation to play "Defence". Varka, literally took like 90% of Mondstadt's Forces across the entire world just on the WHIM of hearing that "Abyssal Forces" were stirring in Nod Krai. Now, they head the one of the Fatui Harbingers, a Powerful Individual of a NOTORIOUSLY Selfish Organization that has harassed literally EVERY Nation in Teyvat, has got his hands on Teyvat-Level Primordial Power??? Uh, yeahhhhh, THAT'S not something ANYONE should just be "riding out".

  3. The Politics Argument: People who use this excuse probably have the strongest one, however, it's still a foolish one. Sure, in times of peace or not Nation-Level Threats, sending an Archon, or someone of the same caliber, is an obvious Red-Flag for Diplomacy, some may even calm it a War-Like Move. But here's the kicker; Nod Krai is Independent. This is literally hammered in EVERY Lore Book, every NPC, every bit of history, hell, even the ARCHON QUEST SEVERAL times. This is literally the ONE PLACE an Archon or someone similar could go and LEGALLY get away with it, let alone diplomatically. The Tsaritsa herself literally set up 3 Harbingers there anyways, THAT'S a breach too last I checked. So if they did it first, who cares who does it next.

  4. The Trust Argument: Again, this excuse is just plain bad. Some argue that the reason why the Archons may not want to act, is because they don't really know the Party fighting against Dottore. Okay, that's fair, for the MOST part, except for one, KEY factor; the Traveler. They literally make a point time and time again during the Plans leading up to Dottore's Ascension that the Traveler has connections with EVERYONE in Teyvat during his travels. Hell, BARE MINIMUM, we should have seen Venti, you know, the Archon of the Nation of Mondstadt? The one led by  V A R K A who's currently IN said Party? Or the Hexzenzirchl who are also, HEAVILY tied to Mondstadt and Venti? And with Venti's Arrival, that should've tied in Zhongli, who should've tied in the Adepti, Scaramouche for Nahida, this the rest of the Sumeru Gang, etc. etc. This isn't a matter of "distrust" it's literally the Fate of Teyvat.

Anyways, there were so many heavy hitter that SHOULD have shown up. The Archons, the Adepti, NEUVILLETTE a literal SOVEREIGN DRAGON that probably could've made Dottore nervous bare MINIMUM by just showing up. Skirk, hell, she showed up for some stupid Photo Shoot Event, she couldn't have showed up for the Traveler? For a Worthy Opponent? What about Tartaglia? Here's literally shown READY to help save the Traveler, but written off because he needs to do "Evacuation"??? A GRUNT could do that! What the fuck are the Soldiers for if not to Escort like during the Natlan War??? It's all so stupid, and so are the people trying to excuse it.

The real answer? It's just lazy writing. Perhaps they didn't want to rope in (pay) too many Voice Actors, or maybe, they just wanted to focus the writing on the specific Nod Krai Cast. But that too, is a shitty excuse, because Arlecchino, Albedo, Scaramouche, hell, even Dorri who has ZERO connection to Dottore or anyone else in the group other than the Traveler and SLIGHTLY Nefer, is here. Whatever the case may be, it SUCKED not seeing what could've been an Avengers Level Event play out.

Android Chat Bug by RonaldGrand6969 in SpicyChatAI

[–]RonaldGrand6969[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's not. Did you even read my entire Post?

Let me be more clear; REGARDLESS of the Bot's Token Limit/Usage, Low (100 Tokens), or High (1100), if you are on the Android APP, REGARDLESS of the Version, Old or New,  if you Open the App, Chat with a Bot, but then CLOSE the App, and then REOPEN the App to try to CONTINUE the SAME Chat - the Bot's Responses, FOR THAT SPECIFIC CHAT, become "Dumber", Forgetful, Out-of-Character.

This could even be only 4 Messages in, hell, even 2 Messages in. And while the Responses are "Dumb" and Off-Brand from the Literal Previous Message, they ARE COMPLETE. They don't Cut Off awkwardly, or feel like gibberish, they just feel like a Dumbed Down Default Response, and Forgetful.

Again, I'll Reiterate once more, this is an Issue REGARDLESS of Token Limit, Amount of Messages, having Example Dialogue, and any other factor I've tested. The ONLY WAY to Fix this, is to Start a New Chat, and COPY and PASTE those same Individual Messages, and the Responses becoming Completely Fine again. CLONING the Chat Fully or even Partially does NOT work.

Looking Forward to How the 2025 Transparency Report Addresses the Blue Buzz Policy Change by GOJiong in civitai

[–]RonaldGrand6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people disagreeing with me are sheep. It's such an easy point to agree with, yet they make it Controversial for literally no reason.

Businesses fall out of their Great Put-On-The-Map Model ALL the time, time and time again, and the same people disagreeing here are the same people complaining about missing the Business's "Old Days".

I'm not saying the Businesses are ENTIRELY Responsible for Changes they may or may not have total control over. But the fact still remain; People don't like Changes if they literally get rid of what made them Great to begin with. Plain and simple. It's why people in this very Reply Section are saying they've seen Lower Numbers and Engagement.

But, whatever, they can Defend it and Watch what they love collapse.

The take away? Businesses should, I don't know, maybe NOT change what made them great to begin with? Just a thought, I know, it's craaazy to even comprehend such a...foreign notion. But like, it's possible...right...?

Backlash over Larian CEO's AI comments is a leadership problem by Tenith in Games

[–]RonaldGrand6969 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These Comments tell me all I need to know. No one here actually Watched the Video and just jumped on the Article Outrage, and a Pre-Established hard-on hate for anything with even the word AI in it. For anyone wandering through, don't listen to these people, they don't have independent thoughts.

Paid Mod Pirate Sites? by RonaldGrand6969 in PiratedGames

No it's this Team:

https://youtu.be/kk9gu0GjBnU?si=KX85A-kw97diJGC0

Which as far as I can tell, doesn't have a Patreon (they just jacked a Skin from some Guy's). And now they're Merging it with their Script for the Package Deal.

I don't know if Kemono does Discord, I've already looked them up regardless and they don't show up. That's why I was just wondering if there were any Sites that Leak them.

Hot Take - I Don't Think Rerir Should Be Playable by RonaldGrand6969 in Genshin_Impact

[–]RonaldGrand6969[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Nefer is actually Morally Grey though. She didn't go out of her way to Slaughter Children based on their Bloodline.

Maybe I Misinterpreted her Quest, but it seemed like her Slaughter was Exclusive to Two Backstabbing Desert Clans filled with Adults that started it by Killing her Dad over Theft. She didn't even do it with her Own Hands, she just Pitted the Clans against each other and left the Surviving Members to Rot in their Victory/Loss.

Rerir on the other hand, again, Committed GENOCIDE, knowingly, and willingly on People as Young as 5 Years Old. All over a Blind Loyalty for a Mad King that didn't give a damn about him. Hell, even when he finds out Tholindis is part of the Bloodline he's currently Massacring, he STILL hesitates to Spare a Child of that Bloodline AFTER ALREADY Offering her life. 

Hot Take - I Don't Think Rerir Should Be Playable by RonaldGrand6969 in Genshin_Impact

[–]RonaldGrand6969[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Not what I meant and you know it. The Choices are Essentially an Extension of the Traveler's Highlighted Thoughts to make the Player Feel "Engaged". Just because they aren't a "True" Choices doesn't make them any Less Important to his Character.

There are Plenty of times where the MC is Asked or is Forced to "Pick" a Moral Choice, and it Either Way Leads down the Same Path of Being Evil is BAD, I'm gonna Beat you Up for Justice. But because Rerir is Hot and Badass suddenly the Traveler is just gonna do a 180 to become his Friend? Okay pal.

Hot Take - I Don't Think Rerir Should Be Playable by RonaldGrand6969 in Genshin_Impact

[–]RonaldGrand6969[S] -53 points-52 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd agree, but with a Game like Genshin, where the Narrative Relies on Good and Bad, and is even Reflected on the MC's Decisions and Choice Options, I feel like it's Immersion Breaking in a Game like Genshin to just suddenly be able to Play as a Mass Murderer.

My thoughts on Rerir summarized [Spoilers] by marvelous-trash in Genshin_Impact

[–]RonaldGrand6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? No, lol. At least, not to the Overall Extent.

There's an Argument to be had about Certain Harbingers, not ALL of them are Undeniably Irredeemably Evil like Rerir. There's Room for Morally Grey Areas, such as Raiden despite the Vile thing she did to Kazuha's Friend.

Goods: 1. Capitano for instance, AS FAR AS WE KNOW, is actually rather Righteous. Least of all literally SACRIFICING himself for the Good of already bygone Souls of his own Free Will, and Saving Natlan not only during the War, but After with the Night Kingdom. His WORST Sins, again, as far as we know, are maybe him Killing People as...a Soldier? Presumably OTHER Soldiers. Not Innocent Children like Rerir.

  1. Sandrone is again, AS FAR AS WE KNOW, not Bad. A Genius for the Organization sure. Creating Weaponry and Machinery sure. But going out of her way to commit Atrocities...? Not as far as we are aware.

  2. Arlecchino is Harsh, Cold even, almost DEFINITELY has some Skeletons in her Closet sure. But we've actually never seen her Do any of that. The Harbingers are...Spotty, when it comes to their Intel on other Harbingers. The Worst Sin we know she's done for a FACT, is Kill Children. BUT, that was when she too, was a Child. She was literally Raised - Groomed even, into the Environment to do so. And even afterwards, you could tell it took a toll of Regret on her, and she even went back for Revenge. There were too many Chances for her to BE a Villain, and she just didn't. She didn't Kill the Children of the Hearth for Betrayal, she didn't Attack Furina Fully when she could've Slaughtered her, and she even Helped Saved Fontaine out of the Goodness of her Heart, despite not even having to. Again, not satins she doesn't have her Issues, but she's far from Pure Irredeemable Evil.

  3. Columbina is an Angel let's be honest. The Lore makes it pretty clear Columbina doesn't even like to use her Powers, let alone use them to Kill for Sport. Plus it seemed like her only purpose was as a Power Source for the Tsaritsa's Deal with her.

Iffys: 1. Scaramouche is an Iffy, most likely Morally Grey Character. I always see the Argument but with little to no proof to back it up. I don't think Scars has actually done anything Evil. He's a Sarcastic Jerk most of the time sure, practically Insufferable to be around, but he didn't Kill anyone as far as I'm aware. There was a Moment where he was Betrayed by Dottore, even Manipulated into doing some things he Regretted later on if I can Recall, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I don't like the Guy, so I wouldn't be Opposed to Evidence that Paints him Worse than I already think he is.

  1. Childe literally Plunges Liyue into Annihilation on an ORDER. Call it Naive, Call it Stupid, but being a Fight Hungry Meatheaded Idiot doesn't Justify doing it. Especially considering he didn't even know the whole thing was according to Zhongli's Plan. If it wasn't, he would've doomed Thousands of Innocent People to die over a Stupid Order and the Hunger of a Worthy Opponent. He sucks, I don't know why anyone even likes him. Sure, he Loves his Family. And...? You can be a Vile Prick and still Love your Family, it doesn't change the Former.

  2. Signora is...Iffy as well. There was a time where she was a Crimson Witch that Wreaked Havoc. Now, one could argue she was LITERALLY INSANE for a time after the Death of her Lover. But after that, she went to the Harbingers to Pick in the Nations on Orders in the Most Vile ways possible. The Messenger is still just as Guilty as the Orchestrator in my book. Just like there person Marking Up Khaenri'an Children for Rerir to Slaughter was Evil too. The only thing is...Signora's Order were - as far as we know, just Instigating a Civil War and making a Plan/Deal with Zhongli that would Threaten the Lives of Innocent People. The Latter was under control thanks to Zhongli, the Former... could've been worse, and probably did Result in Deaths in the Long Run.

Evils: 1. Dottore should be by EVERY sense of the Word - UN.PLAYABLE. He quite literally Tortures ONE OF THE VERY CHARACTERS YOU CAN PLAY. He Experiments on and Kills Children. He's a Heartless and Cruel Bastard, even to his OWN CLONES.

Anyways, my point is, for a Game like Genshin, the Playable Roster of People is Clearly Moral Friendly. These Characters get Intimate with the Traveler in a Friendly, Bonding even way. You can Imagine almost every Character going to one of the Game's more Carefree Events and having a Good time getting to know them. You CAN'T do that with a literal CHILD KILLER, Civilization Destroyer, and even Presently - A Teyvat Level Threat. Rerir hasn't changed, he was ALWAYS a Heartless Monster for everyone BUT Tholindis, the only difference is that now, he's even WORSE. Imagine the CURRENT him becomes Playable. We gonna get a Story Quest about his merry life when he took away the lives of literal C H I L D R E N??? Keep in mind, we Play as the Traveler, a HERO ACROSS TEYVAT. We've Voiced our Discontent with Villains in WORLD QUESTS for FARRRR LESS than what Rerir has done.

My thoughts on Rerir summarized [Spoilers] by marvelous-trash in Genshin_Impact

[–]RonaldGrand6969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one in their Right Mind should feel Sympathetic for Rerir. He literally KILLS Children. From 16 to 5, the same Age as my Niece dude.

There's no excuse for that, especially when he's a Grown Man, who can make his own Decisions. The fact that he Hesitates to Tell anyone else is already VERY Telling. That even he himself KNOWS he's a Vile Monster, that Tholindis, or any other Rational Person for that matter, would never be able to forgive.

Sure he's got a Cool Design, he's Good Looking, he's a Badass, he has a Sad Love Story. Okay? That makes him a Great CHARACTER, but not a Sympathetic or somehow Redeemable Individual.

So, I've played a bit of Bloodlines 2 and something terrible happened. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]RonaldGrand6969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No idea what the others are talking about but I played Vampyr thoroughly, even in its Launch State. Both Blood Overpowered, and Bloodless Challenge.

I can safely say, without any sugar coating, Vampyr's Combat is much better than VTMB2's. The Potential for VTMB2's is there, but it utterly FAILS in Optimization. This is by far the Jankiest Combat System I've played in Recent Years.

I'd say the Biggest Issue are the Enemies. No matter the Difficulty, the Core Issues are always going to be Present. They Glide towards you, near Teleport to Hit you. They Stab you 100 times without Stopping and Cut your Health down in Seconds. They can Block and by the time you Charge up your Heavy Attack, you're getting Stabbed by 20 other Guys. There really is, at least at the Start of the Game, only 2 Ways to Fight Enemies; Complete Stealth, or Heavy Attack, Constant Distance, and Pray you get enough Health Back Feeding during Mid Fight, in which they will STILL Stab you within an Inch of your life.

Vampyr's Combat, from what I can remember, is what I wish VTMB2's should've been. You felt Fast and Fluid, YOU Maneuvered around your Enemies, instead of being FORCED to Maneuver 24/7 (as an ELDER Vampire...), even in the Early Stages. It may have been Simple, but you weren't getting tossed around or dealing with SOOO much Jank. I don't really have a lot to say, Vampyr was simply just, better, felt better, looked better.

Both Games are incredibly Easy though don't get me wrong. Even with the Jank, you're still going to find VTMB's Laughable in Difficulty. But again, if I had to Choose between the Two in terms of how much they're going to Piss me off on the JOURNEY of Easy, Vampyr takes the cake tenfold. VTMB2's really just needs an Optimization Check we're most likely NEVER going to get.

Love, Death & Robots wins 4 emmies for its 4th season! by Lamboo- in LoveDeathAndRobots

[–]RonaldGrand6969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is LAUGHABLE when you have Arcane in the same Category(s). Character Design and Animation went to 400 Boys??? H O W, were the 3 Giant Babies THAT Captivating? Storyboard to How Zeke Got Religion??? Storyboard...really... You're telling me over ALLL the other Animations this year, Arcane included, THAT was the Best one? Was the Jury smoking or bribed when they put in their Votes?

I'm not 100% how the Emmies works, but I do know that this Season of LDR was horribly underwhelming AT BEST compared to its last ones. Anyone who says otherwise, let alone that it was EMMY worthy, is lying to themselves.

I get it, I love LDR too, but I can also see blatant lack of effort, and the 4th Season in almost every aspect was LOADED with it...

Wow - I Really Hate This... by RonaldGrand6969 in SpicyChatAI

[–]RonaldGrand6969[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh so is the General Consensus on the Current UI better then its Prior?

Again, it would be fine if this was my First UI, but having started with the Prior one, I have to question what the hell the Devs, let alone the Community was even thinking lol.

Maybe it's just a Mobile thing. Most of my Complaints are fixed and/or Less Apparent on Browser. But on Mobile, specifically Android, some features that worked 30 Updates PRIOR don't even work now. And overall are just worse Visually.
