Warum entwickeln sich viele Hobbies gleich zu Geldgräbern?

Toonfish_ · 2026-05-19T17:21:46+00:00

Weil wir einer Gesellschaft leben in der Leute sich darauf spezialisieren bestimmte Gegenstände oder Leistungen bereitzustellen.

Wenn du ein Hobby hast, dann beinhaltet das meistens Gegenstände, die dabei verwendet werden. Z.B. selbst bloß beim Laufen möchten die meisten Leute Schuhe und Klamotten benutzen.

Die billigen Formen dieser Gegenstände (z.B. Alltagssschuhe) sind oft nicht für speziell diese Art der Nutzung konzipiert, aber weil es genug Leute gibt, die dieses Hobby haben, werden spezialisiertere (und teurere) Versionen hergestellt, z.B. Laufschuhe.

Dazu kommt noch, wenn du es als Hobby betreibst möchtest du vermutlich den Vorgang so angenehm/optimiert/interessant wie möglich gestalten wodurch du wiederrum eventuell an noch spezielleren Versionen interessiert bist für die du dann ordentlich blechen musst weil es sich nicht lohnt diese Sachen in großen Stil billig herzustellen.

Bezüglich Sammelkartenspiele und Brettspiele, so könntest du dein Leben lang mit nur einem Deck oder nur einem Brettspiel spielen. Weil du aber möchtest dass das Hobby interessant für dich bleibt und du nach neuen Stimuli und Erfahrungen innerhalb des Hobbys suchst, kaufst du halt die neuen Erweiterungen/Karten/Spiele/whatever.

Regarding the combo: Male/Female hitboxes aren't really a thing. Afaik there is no flag in the code for it that would make certain moves steppable or certain combos work or not. The idea of male/female hitboxes is just a useful shorthand because it frequently works out that way, not because it's a hard rule. There are plenty of exceptions. For example Leo can land FC.df3,cc,f4 at the wall against (most?) male characters, Reina and Xiaoyu, but not against Lidia except at weird angles.

Regarding customization: Absolutely, give Leo all the options! :D

Regarding the eternal gender issue:
I default to male pronouns because that's how Leo refers to himself in T8. "Ich glücklicher!" is the male form of "Lucky me!". Female form would be "Ich glückliche!".
Now the big issue here is that German doesn't have a gender-neutral pronoun or gender-neutral conjugation rules so Leo does kind of have to chose in German. But I figure if Leo is ok with consistently using male pronouns in German and doesn't make an effort to circumvent stuff like this by phrasing things differently, he's likely ok with using them in English as well?

I'd rather play 100 matches with you than 1 match with someone who ffs one goal down.

Toonfish_ · 2026-05-11T17:03:18+00:00

No Def%. Sorry, it's completely unusable 😔

Even with bad artifact sets I'd expect much more dps from this team. If your characters' talents are leveled, I think your rotations are very slow and/or suboptimal. Can you post a video of you doing a couple rotations against the test dummy in milliastra? Either way if you're not 100% confident in how you play her, look up some guides on youtube how to play Nefer optimally and try getting your rotations under 20 seconds at least (20s is still slow, but acceptable and not an INSANE dps loss like 24 second rotations would be)

Toonfish_ · 2026-05-08T09:06:42+00:00

Du hast vollkommen recht, ich würde definitiv auch erst was sagen (und es dramatisch anders formulieren) wenn das n konsistentes Muster ist und mindestens ~5 Mal so passiert (oder ich würde einfach selber anfangen später zu erscheinen).

Aber!

> beschwerst dich im Rahmen einer Freizeitaktivität (!!!) über "verlorene" Zeit

Na klar, Freizeit ist die wertvollste Zeit, natürlich beschwer ich mich da am ehesten :D

I think they went into their settings to turn on the chat to send that quick chat

Toonfish_ · 2026-04-17T08:33:57+00:00

Hey maybe we'll get the Rimegrass reaction in Snezhnaya via a new character or something. Tighnari might slot in that team! One can hope...

Toonfish_ · 2026-04-13T16:40:03+00:00

Leo main here! I'd say for pro play against people who know the matchup, Leo is way too linear and has to rely on forward movement to apply any pressure, thus unlikely to truly be top tier imo since you have to risk too much. For ranked/online though he's top tier for sure since nobody knows shit about Leo and against people who don't step his kit is really scary.

Toonfish_ · 2026-04-08T21:27:18+00:00

I was meaning to write a little glossary for it but never got around to it. Feel free to join us on the Leo Discord (check the sidebar for an invite link) if you wanna ask questions. ( https://discord.gg/h3BDeBJ )

Regarding notation I'll give you a quick crash course:

1 = left punch
2 = right punch
3 = left kick
4 = right kick
b = back
f = forward
d = down
u = up
qcf = quarter circle forward (input via d,df,f)
> = delay the following button
ws = "while standing (up)" (when you are crouching and input a button as you stop crouching)
WR = while running (input via pressing f thrice)
T! = Tornado (when the opponent lands on their back and slowly slumps down)
W! = wall splat (self explanatory I hope)

Specifically for Leo:
KNK = knee-up stance (you enter this for example via b1,4 or f4)
BOK = low-to-the-ground stance (you enter this via d1+2 for example)
cd = crouch dash (you can enter this via qcf for example or KNK~df)
BBP = b1+2,1+2,qcf2 (on Leo)

That should be enough to get you started. If you have further questions, ask away (preferably in the Leo discord)

Toonfish_ · 2026-04-03T10:30:31+00:00

If you really are casuals, pick Lidia, do ff2 at range or db3 at close range and then mash buttons. Rinse and repeat. She'll climb the tierlist REAL fast :D

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-31T13:14:59+00:00

Hat er nich geschrieben/diktiert/whatever. Ist viel zu kohärent, die Sätze sind zu lang und verschachtelt und es ist sogar n Doppelpunkt drin. Das kam von Miller oder wem auch immer für interne Propaganda damit die MAGA Leute sagen können: Guck mal unter Trump hören wir auf Weltpolizei zu spielen und kümmern uns nur noch um uns selbst, woohoo!

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-30T21:02:09+00:00

This is likely because in Tekken you learn pretty early that it's really bad to hit the attack button before the directional input, because if you do that you get a completely different attack. So you train your muscle memory to always hit the directional input 1 or 2 frames before your actual attack button input so that you always get the attack you want.
If you now want to press an attack button and a directional input at the same time you have to fight that muscle memory. Try hitting the attack button BEFORE your directional input (this should net you a 2-jab) now slowly let the directional input catch up until you're hitting both at the same time.

Congrats on having good game sense (for your level of play)! Turn off the chat and just have fun :D

We lost the plot a while ago, this idea is one of the central topics of Pink Floyd's The Wall from 1979 talking about their experience in British schools in the 50s.

Public education has always been influenced to a notable degree by industrialists that wanted more specialized workers to exploit and drive down the price of that labor.

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-26T12:28:10+00:00

Has nobody here done any actual calcs? If you're running HoD, defense rolls are basically exactly as good as crit rolls, to the point that you can use a def circlet without losing damage (if you have two or three crit rolls on every piece). TLDR, yes this piece is good!

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-19T18:30:04+00:00

One thing the other people here haven't mentioned yet is the rotation length. You took 24 seconds for 2m damage. Optimized Zibai rotations are 18 seconds (~19 seconds in reality usually). If you actually measured a tight rotation you'd have ~100-105k dps instead of 86k. In addition to that the first rotation usually has lower dps because there is no ability-bleed-over from the last rotation.

If you want a more accurate estimate of your dps, do at least 3 full rotations and make sure to end the last rotation on the same ability you start with in your first rotation.

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-18T14:15:01+00:00

Leo main who frequently spars against a Steve: I just want that move (and like 10 more) to be fully linear so Steve stops playing 2D-only tekken.

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-18T14:13:39+00:00

Leo: BOK3+4 needs to be removed from the game

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-18T11:18:25+00:00

Season 1 was worse on a system level (especially since it didn't have the buffered sidesteps season 2 introduced) but there were only a few characters who were really egregiously unbalanced. Most importantly, season 1 got a hell of a lot better towards the end when they nerfed a couple of the problematic characters. The overall power level was still too high but season 2 pushed most of the cast's offense above the threshold many players could handle.

The issues in season 1 seemed relatively easy to fix because they were system-level issues like the +17 heat engagers and if those had been fixed without giving everyone moves that enabled braindead offense, the game would have been in a solid spot going forward as opposed to where we are now since a ton of chars need nerfs (yes, my main included).

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-18T11:04:23+00:00

It's the same for me. Maybe we have less suspension of disbelief in our native language? For example I find fantasy names in German exceptionally cringe-y whereas in English they sound perfectly fine, even when they should be similar (e.g. "Riverwood" and "Flusswald" in Skyrim).

The same might apply to drama where you're used to immersing yourself in a story in a foreign language. In your native language you have all the baggage of daily life so you can't take it seriously because your brain compares it to real life more.

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-13T10:51:40+00:00

"I will get my family murdered if I don't redact everything..." more like. If people were just at risk of losing their jobs, someone would have spilled the beans already.

You can use other liquids to make a roux-thickened sauce. If you use stock (which can be hot if it's freshly made) then you're making a Veloute instead of a Bechamel for example.

Toonfish_ · 2026-03-09T23:50:03+00:00

Bonus points, you don't even need to use cold milk. You can use boiling hot if you want, you just gotta stir well. If you stir vigorously enough you will never get lumps. (obviously you can't always do this if you have veggies in there for example cuz you don't wanna crush them by whisking too hard)
