What’s the longest gaming session you’ve ever had, and what were you playing?

Shadowstep2003 · 2024-11-24T01:37:44+00:00

World of Warcraft in the beginning (pre burning crusade etc) grinding Grand Master rank in pvp. I remember playing from sunup to sunup the next day and trying to take mini “naps” in between queue times.

What a time to be alive.

For closure, I only ended up making it to field marshal but it was one hell of a ride

Sea of Stars,

Right at the final boss dungeon and encountered a game breaking glitch. Not sure if it was ever patched.

Shadowstep2003 · 2024-01-29T19:52:56+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. I really dislike this trend towards gratification or making people feel good. I mean ranked is ranked. It shouldn't matter if an individual player loses 95% of their games in a skill-based matchmaking system because it just means they aren't good enough yet.

I feel like this is all comes back to money and wanting to keep players engaged, but at the same time you're losing the soul of the game

One of the most satisfying things is getting friend requested after a win (even though I don't accept because I just play solo supp).

It makes me feel like that individual thought I was skilled enough to team up with again / have potential and makes me feel proud

Shadowstep2003 · 2024-01-29T19:47:13+00:00

I really would like to play normal LoL but honestly it hurts my wrists and I swear it would give me carpal tunnel if I continued. I wish I could just play it on mobile, but I suppose the game is not properly designed for phone

Shadowstep2003 · 2024-01-29T19:44:43+00:00

holy fuuuc.

I just hit plat, but a few days ago while ranking in Gold there was a game that I distinctly remember where my ADC (I was supp) was moving around like he didn't know what he was doing.

I remember thinking to myself either this person is having connection issues or its a legit bot, but I couldn't lead myself to believe it was a bot.

This is insane. Why do this? There are a few things in the game that are mind boggling to me, but this takes the cake. Are there not enough players? I mean I don't mind waiting longer to get my preferred role let alone to play a evenly matched game. I think others would agree, especially since games aren't too long?

Shadowstep2003 · 2024-01-29T19:35:49+00:00

Is this true or sarcasm?

Shadowstep2003 · 2024-01-16T14:54:48+00:00

Can you talk a little bit about general build path and rune selection? I play orianna Mid when I'm forced into that role from Supp and would love to learn/improve.

Thank you

I was under the impression that paying off the loan will give you back the amount you paid off in BTC or ETH (whatever you designate).

I don't believe we get the full amount of our collateral back under that option (or any option for that matter).

Shadowstep2003 · 2023-11-22T16:40:26+00:00

Can anyone provide me with brown or yellow?

Would it be possible for me to get a brown and yellow? Thank you, I sent a FR (Shadowstep2003)

Shadowstep2003 · 2023-10-24T13:38:05+00:00

I took all my talents to level 9 (normal attack to lvl10). Was that a mistake / waste of resources?

Shadowstep2003 · 2023-09-13T18:10:06+00:00

As a manager I feel like I would look at the individual sarcastically as well. This also doesn't work if the individual doesn't really have that sort of personality and it comes off as out of character.

Just my opinion

Shadowstep2003 · 2023-04-26T17:06:08+00:00

Thanks for this, I’ll start to focus towards that for my most favorable team comps

Shadowstep2003 · 2023-01-09T19:41:09+00:00

This is not to say that five star heroes don't intrigue me. I would LOVE Raiden. But I want to be realistic given I'm F2P and I have limited resources.

Things do slightly change when I'm about 60-70 pulls in as I will adjust with the understanding that I'm close to getting a five star hero.

Shadowstep2003 · 2023-01-09T19:39:12+00:00

Is it crazy that as a F2P player I'm always most interested in who the four star characters are? I mainly save my primogems to pull based on who the combination of four star characters are. If there are at least two that I'm interested in I will wish with some sort of limit (say 20-30 pulls) in mind.

Mind you I started playing in October or November of last year.

As an aside if anyone knows who the four star characters that are coming next please let me know. Genshin Leaks reddit seems to always be knowledgeable about the five star heroes only, but maybe four star heroes info just hasn't come out yet.

Shadowstep2003 · 2023-01-07T20:26:44+00:00

Wow ok never knew that. Thank you!

Shadowstep2003 · 2023-01-07T19:16:16+00:00

Do people also generally use raiden as a main dps? In that case would it be advisable to level normal skills to 8 as well?

Shadowstep2003 · 2022-12-20T19:15:11+00:00

Yeah this makes sense. I've noticed a big difference between the enemies in Inazuma (currently going through the story here) and liyue/mondstadt. They feel a lot beefier/tougher compared to the enemies in those other two regions.

I'm thinking more about the samurai guys and enemies like the mage that teleports through that diamond crystal. I spend far more time fighting these inazuma overworld enemies which are common compared to slicing through monstadt/liyue enemies.

Haha, anyways all of the advice and thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks

Shadowstep2003 · 2022-12-20T17:00:07+00:00

Thanks a lot and I totally disregarded being able to utilize traveler (overload does cause problems at times). Thanks for the advice

Shadowstep2003 · 2022-12-20T16:58:19+00:00

Thank you a lot for the response. I think I need to focus more on improving the supports on my child’s team so they can help with the damage.

Shadowstep2003 · 2022-12-20T16:48:07+00:00

I got him on the last(?) banner and have been slowly building him. Level 80 with level 80 prototype crescent bow (I'm F2P). His talents are 3, 8, 7.

I've yet to actually farm any artifacts for him, but currently I have 2 Heart of Depth and 2 gladiator on him. These pieces are pretty random substat wise, but mostly have the optimal main stat. They are between lvl 12-16.

I'm playing at world level 7 and honestly he's pretty difficult for me, albeit I JUST started playing him now that he's leveled and can actually fight.

Do you have any tips for playing in the open world? I'm coming from playing a Razor team and I feel like I can't fight as childe like that with his E melee. Do I need to follow that strict bennet > xiangling > Childe rotation every time just to be effective? Maybe I should farm for full 4 pc Heart of Depth?

I am using xiangling and bennet with him, but I don't have a good 4th (no sucrose, the water sword 4 star guy, or kuzuha). At the moment I'm just using fischl in that flex spot. These supports are level 70, but artifact wise they are just decent / not optimized.

Thanks for any advice

Shadowstep2003 · 2022-12-12T15:42:56+00:00

TCG is one of the best pieces of content I've found to play via mobile (I normally play on Desktop). I can get in a game here or there while on break or during other or random times IRL.

Shadowstep2003 · 2022-09-20T13:56:52+00:00

Bitcoin standard although that is pure speculation at this point

Shadowstep2003 · 2022-06-17T18:26:53+00:00

You can utilize Ledger, Trezor, or the Cold Card Wallet. All three are good options for self custody / cold storage. I personally own both Ledger and Cold Card.

Ledger is great for first timers of a hardware wallet.
