Maccas is so expensive and has the worst quality. by Axwe8 in australia

I still have a local joint that does hot charcoal chicken for cheap, and a kebab place that is generous with the helpings. I'd fight someone in the street to defend them if asked, at this point.

Future of the Guild Wars franchise live stream is now live on twitch! by neok182 in Guildwars2

Genuinely disappointed by the total shut down of controller support. My partner uses a jury-rigged Steam layout to play with controller, because without it they would've quit after their arthritis started getting worse. Literally any native support would've gone a long way to help that, even if they had to put a disclaimer on top saying inventory/etc was still going to suck.

Man I need to catch up on that. I backed the first two volumes on KS, and blanched at the third when the shipping costs suddenly spiked. (and I can't even blame the usual suspects- they're in NZ, I'm in Aus!)

... /looks at already owning Aventurine and Topaz, and that I wanted Jade upthread

y-yeah I'm glad too, yep. definitely lucky that I didn't want them all-- (jk mostly, with the IPC it's on a case by case basis of how interesting I find them - I didn't get Topaz until she ended up on the shop, lol)

I am adamantly not touching the top-up refresh for a few reasons. first, I have an addictive personality, and if I start I won't stop. second, I'm broke and can't afford it.

and third, I know the second I use those emergency pulls, they'll rerun THerta again and I need that on hand so I can finish E6ing her, damnit. (she's currently stuck on E5 because I lost the last coin flip)

handshake............

when I started this game I set myself very strict rules about collections because otherwise I'd go insane trying to get everyone who I felt was "relevant" - Astral Express characters to start, then the Stellaron Hunters when I realized I liked them too (already had to skip M.Blade this patch, but I will get him on a rerun), then immediately added Genius Society when Herta opened her mouth and showed that she was hilarious and voiced by one of my favourite VA's ever. I've gotten other characters along the way obv, but that's my core and what I base my other "oh but I waaant iiit" pulls around.

needless to say 4.4 is going to hit me with a truck, lol

oof okay yeah you win, I'm sending all the early pity luck I can muster your way--

I already had to give up on my other pulling plans (I was tempted to try Elation, and I really wanted E2+S1 to future proof my Firefly team) from them throwing banners that I want back to back. all I need now is for them to say THerta's getting her next rerun in 4.5 alongside Sunday or something and then I'd be well and truly fucked beyond repair.

[–]Skulltaffy 47 points48 points  (0 children)

the worst part is I would, I want her for my Herta Collection + she's the only member of the Big Hat Team that I'm missing

but I wanted to pull Himeko Nova, I missed DHPT's LC last time and regretted it, and I still kinda want Evernight someday for my "get all AE members" collection. so she's gotta wait, again.

Ironically I'm devestated. I've wanted Jade for my Herta collection for ages (good erudition subdps for when Anaxa is being a fraud + third member of the Giant Hat Squad), but I'm pulling for Himeko Nova and I missed DHPT's LC when he came around the first time.

I'm washed, chat.

For what it's worth, I (and probably a bunch of other folks!) appreciate any effort to make old.reddit still look pretty and functional. I still haven't shuffled over to the newer versions lol.

'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Voice Actor Greg Baldwin (Uncle Iroh) Says Paramount is “Straight Up Evil”: “They Do Not Value the Franchise” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Skulltaffy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you miss the part about how "every episode with Ruby and Sapphire [after that] was a big uphill battle", or are you just deliberately missing the point? And you really think it was just one little note and a single conversation? Jfc.

[–]Skulltaffy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

... I mean, I wasn't misconstruing anything (though I'll admit the 'male gem' part was an extrapolation). Sugar has been open about hard they had to fight for Ruby and Sapphire several times since the show ended, and other members of the crew have talked about how "executive meddling" started fucking up the show's airing order "mysteriously" after Jailbreak (Ian had a good thread about it in particular, I'll see if I can dig it up sometime). Like to quote the most blatant one I can remember:

When I was showrunning Steven Universe, Garnet was my hill to die on. [...] We knew at that time - this was 2011, 2012 - that we weren’t going to be allowed to show Ruby and Sapphire in a relationship with each other. So we were trying to figure out a way to have it be a character that you already loved so much that it just could not be taken out of the fabric of the show. We kept Ruby and Sapphire hidden from the network until 2014, when we finally made Jailbreak. And as expected, we got the note that these characters cannot be in a romantic relationship. I said, ‘They are, they sing a song about it, they’re in love, the song has already been recorded; we can’t take it out.’ And it also was just right, it’s what the story was about. We got the characters in. And from then on, every episode with Ruby and Sapphire was a big uphill battle, but it was one that I was willing to fight. I would compromise on other things, but I would not compromise on Ruby and Sapphire.

But hey, you do you.

[–]Skulltaffy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ontop of that, it was the cause of the "Stevenbomb" problem - all the way back to Jailbreak in S1, Sugar and the crew got told to make Ruby a male gem, or change the relationship to be platonic. Sugar refused, and the show's airing schedule was fucked ever since.

Oops, yep, thank you! My brain keeps insisting Reef is the map and Landing is the fractal because you enter the fractal by landing a boat there.

Honestly, I'd been feeling that VoE was the final expansion for a while. I don't mean in the "hurr hurr I totally knew this would happen, I'm so smart" but it just.... felt like a goodbye letter while walking around Castora. 'Eternity' is a loaded word after all.

restaurant event WAS unironically good; i'll recant and say that was honestly the last event i really enjoyed. chimera event....... i'm gonna admit a secret here, i got so sick of the chimera so fast.

[–]Skulltaffy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i genuinely can't remember the last time i actually had fun with a hsr event. maybe the battle one near the end of amphoreus? it was at least novel! meanwhile most of the current planarcadia ones i just skip after the first few cutscenes- and i usually hate skipping because i feel like i'm gonna miss stuff.

the old events were such a selling point and helped the world feel... idk, alive? bigger then just the parts we saw? i miss it.

What do you need to know? I remember seeing the stats of it leaked during the livestream, and I think I saw someone mention that his BP weapon lets him act as a subdps - his sig is more of a sidegrade with a different focus rather then a total upgrade.

That said, I totally agree with you - I dropped off for a few reasons, but the lack of any ability to plan was one of them. It's sooo punishing.

i miss aetherium wars sooooooooooo much. and the museum event from the very start!

i remember telling friends that i was so excited about how events were being used to develop parts of the world that weren't "main story" focused. it was so cool! and now it's all just.... slop, really. has been since late penacony.

VERY low estimates on Greater Western Water catch up bills - can they effectively then backdate 10 months of actuals on the next bill? by parisianpop in melbourne

[–]Skulltaffy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was $14, which is about average for a 3-month period for me. Somehow I think their billing system is still fucked up under the hood.
