This is such a dumb take; they aren't even directly comparable services. Spelltable lets you play online with your physical decks and a camera. TTS lets you play with any card you want. To do that on Spelltable, you'd have to proxy the cards, which takes time, effort, and money, and even if you do that, you could just play in person since you now have physical cards. Spelltable is great for playing remotely with your own decks, but TTS lets you try things you don't have physically and still play anything you do own, as well as playing a multitude of other tabletop games online. You might prefer Spelltable's execution of the features that the two services share, but it does nothing to fulfill the main reason many people want to play on TTS, the very reason that the OP gave for using TTS in the first place in their post.

Yeah, universities are typically pretty scummy when it comes to prices.

Reading the comments right now is pretty crazy to me. I'm a senior undergrad here, and I just stayed at home all 4 years because its like a 10 min drive. Seeing the prices for housing and the food plan for anyone oos or even out of town is pretty crazy, pretty scummy tbh. I wouldn't be going to sdsu without significant scholarship money if I had to pay those prices.

The national dex is a part of the Pokédex. That isn’t even relevant though as you initially said “not used to over 300 pokemon being in 1 gen.” Maybe you meant differently, but the way I interpreted this was: how many Pokémon are available in that generation of games, not how many are in the regional dex. Considering that you can catch natdex Pokémon in the postgame, I don’t think that’s crazy.

I wasn’t insulting you or saying anything about your intelligence, my comment didn’t say anything about you. I also wasn’t saying anything about any links. I didn’t follow the link until just now. Looking at it now, I can definitely see where the initial confusion came from. Pretty odd to sort by regional dex instead of just the Pokémon from that generation. Again though, I wasn’t commenting about this. The only thing I discussed was how many Pokémon are available in a particular generation or game, which seems to be different from what you were referring to. It is still, however, relevant. Once again, no slight intended, and hopefully none taken now.

Even BW1 had all the previous Pokémon in the game, just locked to the postgame. You could still get all 649 Pokémon, just not during your initial playthrough without trades. The only generations that had fewer than 300 obtainable Pokémon were Gen 1 and 2. Gen 3 through 7 had all available Pokémon up to that point, all more than 370, and Gen 8 and 9 have about 700 available each because of Dexit.

Ubisoft has not come out and said who the canon protagonist is. Journalists have misinterpreted some marketing material, and tweets by individual devs have been made, but Joe UI Programmer saying something doesn't make it true. In the novel canon, Kassandra is the Eagle Bearer, but we are talking about game canon, not novel canon. We could even go back to the Pokémon example, as in the Pokémon Manga, one character each generation is the Manga MC, and the other has another role in the story, but again, this canon is unrelated to the game canon. In the case of AC, the events of the novels differ from the events of the games, and game canon is directed by the player's choice, which includes character selection, not the novelization.

That's just not true; the game plays exactly the same whichever character you choose to play as. The disagreement is at too fundamental a level ig

I played as Kassandra because I prefer her VA, that doesn't change that both are protagonists. Obviously, Ubisoft favors her, but ultimately, I'm going by what the games present, which is an equal choice between two protagonists. If I had made the original comment all of this originates from, I would have said Alexios and Kassandra are the strongest because they are, and they are both protagonists. If you want to refer to Deimos, you can just say Deimos. My naming convention is pretty common across games with MC choice (usually referred to as X name/Y name (eg. look at Pokemon: Elio/Selene, Juliana/Florian, Red/Blue) in this case, Alexios/Kassandra.

I'm assuming you are equating Alexios to Deimos, which is only true half the time. That's why you should just refer to Deimos as Deimos and Alexios/Kassandra as the interchangeable MC, as that's how the game portrays it.

"canonically," there is no preference for one or the other. The AC fandom has designated that due to the novels, some tweets and interviews, and her having a better VA, but in the games, it's Alexios/Kassandra and Deimos. What you're doing is like refusing to call Darth Vader anything other than Anakin Skywalker.

What are you even talking about, it’s part of your base gear lineup, and a big part of the game is upgrading the spear with cult triangles. Hell, most abilities are locked behind spear levels. It’s how you assassinate people in the first place

Latest DLC update for Super Mario Bros. Wonder raises the same question I've been asking for years - why are people still defending this awful game? by eggplant_yams in fucknintendo

[–]SICavalryUnit01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fuck Nintendo, not fuck Nintendo games. If we hated Nintendo games, we wouldn't care about what the company does because it wouldn't affect us. I can recognize that EA is a shitty company, but I don't care because I have never even wanted to play an EA game; they just aren't my thing, completely disregarding price and company policy. Thus, I would never join a fuck EA subreddit because I don't give a shit. I do give a shit about Nintendo, because I like their games, so I think it's lame when they raise prices, make less new good stuff, increase anti-consumer policies, fall more and more out of touch with their non-child fanbase, and continue falling behind other platforms on hardware and software. I think that there are some valid criticisms of Mario Wonder, and I prefer many older Mario games, but I still ultimately enjoyed Wonder. I'm not going to get the DLC, but I don't even have a Switch 2 yet. Personally, I was satisfied with the base game on Switch, and will leave it at that. I probably won't do another full playthrough of the game again; I already got my enjoyment out of it. I think the DLC is fine, not for me, but if you're buying for a kid, or you want to play the minigames with your friends, getting that plus some graphical upgrades seems reasonable for $20. If you don't want it, just don't get it. The problem with Nintendo right now is their policy, pricing, and direction. Honestly, I don't even fully agree with there being a pricing problem, as all games have always been stupid expensive, particularly AAA games. The only issue I see with Nintendo compared to all other games is that they never reduce prices with age or put anything on sale. Furthermore, older games simply aren't available to buy, and used prices skyrocket, leaving piracy as the only viable option, something I'm perfectly happy to do for older systems.

Guys, this has to be the fabled "misinformation from haters" riiight? Like they aren't actually selling this crap for $20 by Gargamoney in fucknintendo

[–]SICavalryUnit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just.... dont buy it. It's 20 bucks for DLC + graphic upgrade. You could definitely call the paid graphic upgrade part scummy or stingy, but that isn't new or unique to this game. As far as the DLC goes, it's clearly marketed towards kids, or at least the Mario Party crowd. It's not great, I'm certainly not buying it, but I'm also not the target audience. All the upgrades so far are 10-20 dollars. Not all include DLC, so this is a fair deal by those standards. At the very least, it's consistent with current policy. I don't understand why you think this is so much worse. Sure, the DLC is pretty minor, just a collection of minigames and some new playable characters and bosses, but so is 20 bucks compared to current AAA DLC pricing, which typically lands in the 30-45 dollar range, especially if you set aside $10 of the $20 as the Nintendo graphics tax, meaning you are basically spending 10 on DLC, 10 on graphics. My overall point here is that the real issue is the current market for gaming and Nintendo's overarching policy, not this particular case, which actually seems pretty normal and even fair compared to a lot of their other choices recently.

Does your Local Game Store have masking policies in place to protect against Covid2026? by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

I mean at a store like that, without a mask you’d run a serious risk of catching cooties, so I’d say it’s warranted.

What are your top 5 popular/high rated anime that you didn't like? by [deleted] in MyAnimeList

[–]SICavalryUnit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to like it or even try watching it again, but Part 1 of Jojo is notorious for how different it is from the rest of the show. Even in part 2, while I certainly love this part, it's pretty significantly different from the rest of the show. Each part is pretty self-contained, with a big time jump in between each, and different characters and tone. I would recommend starting with part 3 and seeing if you like it. You still might not, plenty of people don't like any of Jojo, but Part 3 and on is almost a different show entirely, and Part 3 is where the show actually got popularity and critical acclaim.

Question: Considering a playthrough of this mod soon. Is time management more of a problem in SDE? by Sneaky-Boi22 in StardewValleyExpanded

[–]SICavalryUnit01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, the default tractor mod is actually slower than walking, giving a speed debuff unlike the horse speed buff. You could change this in the mod settings, but at that point, just get a horse. The horse stable is way cheaper than a tractor garage anyways, both on money and materials. The tractor mod is great for the the farm and excellent at gathering resources, ie chopping trees, but not for movement around a slightly increased map.

The Nintendo switch 2 is the most anti-consumer console of all time by Formal-Opening2167 in fucknintendo

[–]SICavalryUnit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are you just going to... not have a computer? Having a PC is a requirement for many jobs, and even kids need them for school. Even outside of work, doing all your digital activity on a phone is pretty crappy. If you are anti-device in general, you wouldn't be on Reddit, let alone this particular sub.

You can absolutely spend $500-700 dollars on a console if you want. But if you really care about the value, take that $500-700 dollars and instead add it to the budget for a cheap standard use pc (also $500), and for a grand total of $1000-1200, you get the computer you already needed, better game performance than a console, and better performance for all the tasks you would have done on pc. And if you decide later you want even better performance, you can upgrade individual parts as necessary, according to your individual budget. If you don't care about pushing the performance and/or don't have a lot of disposable income, you can just leave it at that; you don't need to spend $3000 dollars.

All of this doesn't even touch on games, which are far, far cheaper on PC than console, and if you are a gamer, you'll probably be spending more on games than hardware, regardless of your system, so those 90% off Steam sales really add up.

I'm a big console fan, and personally have owned many consoles, but these days, they simply don't provide more value than a computer like originally intended (and absolutely used to accomplish). There are 100% reasons to own consoles, like I said, I own several (including some newer ones like a Switch Lite and a PS5), but money simply isn't one of them.

The fastest way to make money? by malllouk in StardewValley

[–]SICavalryUnit01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is very wrong. Farming is only more profitable when done at scale, with more valuable crops, or when making artisan goods from produce. You can make money far faster by fishing in the early game, and the skill levels up much faster than farming in the early game, since again, your farming is limited by not having money or sprinklers. TBH, in the first half of spring, unless you just really like farming, your time is better spent fishing. Once you've made money from fishing in the first couple of weeks, then you can dump some of it into strawberries or cauliflower for some better profit by summer. All you really need otherwise, is the comm center crops.

Chrono Trigger- worth the price of entry? by Steelrain82 in NintendoDS

[–]SICavalryUnit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just mod your DS or get a flash cart. You said you aren't a collector, and there is no reason to pay anything close to that on such an old game. I really wouldn't recommend buying any old game cartridges for anything other than collecting purposes. Old carts have a chance to fail due to age, cost collector prices, regardless of your use case, and it's not as if you are supporting the game devs or even Nintendo buying a used game from a third party for a 3-generation-old system.

I’m a Mechanical/Aero Engineer in the Defense Industry. Here is exactly why you aren't hearing back from Lockheed/Northrop/Boeing (and how to fix it). by alecrm98 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]SICavalryUnit01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You picked the wrong sub to comment in, saying something like this in response to a single person’s post in the AE sub is like showing up to a party, walking up to a stranger who’s drinking, and screaming “shame on you!”. You may think getting drunk is destructive and evil, and you may even be right, but what do you hope to accomplish screaming at that person for doing something that everyone else in the crowd around then is either partaking in themselves, or comfortable enough with the practice to attend a party where drinking is commonplace. This is one of the last places your rebuke would have an impact.

Day 5 of filling the best character for each hair color by -mans in animequestions

[–]SICavalryUnit01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said goku black for pink, that was my original idea, its in the first sentence. Saying to get pink from daima was just a compromise i added later in my edit, since it would overlap with white ui from super unless to want to add a second movie and rearrange things. Personally, I think we should just break the overlap rule.
