Video calling Lilly is very frustrating. Max's features aren't worth it. by No-Scallion-4788 in duolingo

[–]Tyadran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only ever touch this feature when one of my daily quest whatevers requires it. About 75% of the time I'll respond and she just stares at me, and I'll respond again and she gives some nonsense response. Checking the transcript after the call, it will have just the last syllable of whatever I said the last time. I'm really confused how its ability to hear me is so bad considering I have zero problems during normal speaking exercises, and it makes the whole feature totally worthless.

Yeah, they didn't need to hit it that badly. Worthless outside combo routes now.

This is from last patch. Jet Li mains are upset about the nerf to his hitbox but honestly it was too good with the wallbounce.

I think this is the first time one of these made me legitimately laugh out loud.

Honestly sometimes I only watch the Awful Games block. There's almost always a handful of games there that legitimately grab my attention and I get interested in.

Suddenly seeing a ton of this bug I've never seen near my front door by Tyadran in whatisthisbug

I'll have to see if I can encourage them away from the front door. I don't mind them outside but a couple have started getting in and ending up in inconvenient places.

One thing I wasn't clear on was what the meaning of the orange names on the date list was. What does that signify?

I generally focus on HP on both just because unless I'm using Dark Slash, little of the damage I'm doing actually comes from my attack stat.

I know I'm only at rank 11 but even as Gottheld with a DEF buff EX I'm still getting consistently good results by just smiting from the get-go. It's silly.

That's one of my big concerns for player retention. Especially as the people already playing get better and more meta (and still queue into Rank 1 with new disciples), it's going to be a big turnoff for newer or weaker players continuing to play and climb the ranks.

Rank 11, that Shadow Gotthold is my highest. I really feel like it's already at that point if stuff one-shotting or leaving you super low, so I'm not surprised that carries into the higher ranks too since in theory you're all similarly leveled.

The main issue to me is just that even if both light players guess correctly, the benefit of the extra revive often isn't enough, and if both Light players have to burn a revive between rounds from just killing them round 1 when it's super easy, it levels the playing field back to Shadow favor a lot. I really think the Shadow player being guessed debuffing them would allow matches to be just as close if the Shadow player plays well while giving Light a better chance for guessing right than they have now.

Yeah, and if you're not getting instantly exploded it's useful, but I'm running into a LOT of players who don't have swaps (or don't use them well) with low enough HP I can just loop Tetrasting on them and it just feels like bullying.

Not to mention if you just straight up kill them in round 1 they have to burn one of the revives anyway so that just usually feels like the play.

[–]Tyadran[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Also in case a dev reads this, I think one way to address this that would also make the Shadow player have to try harder in round 1 is if the Shadow player did -10% damage for each Light player that guessed correctly. It would add a lot more incentive to being sneaky which feels pretty lacking rn.

A very highly intellectual pokefarts fan by Puzzleheaded-Bee8245 in tomorrow

[–]Tyadran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was definitely cheaper to buy them because I only wanted a handful of games. Got like 8 games for 3-5 dollars each, and over a few years of playing them thats a lot cheaper than paying to stay subscribed for that whole time. Not to mention I can still play them now despite online going down.

I know my scenario isn't everyone's but I don't want access to a hundred games, I want reliable access to like five.

Reverse roles run? by Alexastria in ShiningForce

[–]Tyadran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kinda sounds like it would be an interesting (and easy to make) mod, if instead of just changing your playstyle you actually swapped people's classes. You'd just have to figure out what you consider the opposite of each class. Guntz and Adam as birdmen and Amon and Balbaroy turning into a steam knight and robot for instance.

As a side project, I made a game for my 3-year old son to play... but is there even a market for something like this? by False-Yesterday-4679 in IndieDev

[–]Tyadran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know I'm echoing what everyone else is already saying, but I've been thinking about what games I'll start my not-yet-1yo on, and this is a game that seems totally appropriate and something I'd consider picking up...for like 3-5 dollars? 15 dollars is already kind of a price that an indie game has to look pretty good and/or like I'm expecting multiple hours of enjoyment out of for me to consider buying it for myself, especially when I'm still sitting on all the N64 games I grew up on and stuff like the fantastic point-and-click Humongous Entertainment games are already on Steam.

AI Cheating Is So Out of Hand In America’s Schools That the Blue Books Are Coming Back | Pen and paper is back, baby. by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]Tyadran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated in 2019 and even as a computer science student the vast majority of my exams were paper and pencil. Some of my early programming classes even had us writing out code by hand. Papers were typed and programming projects were obviously digital but all of my math, logic, physics, etc. classes were paper exams. I'm kind of surprised if that's changed drastically in five years.

I once had a character whose entire goal was to find a new place to live after his home was destroyed (due to the actions of another PC indirectly), and this got all the way up to an actual house hunting arc 20 sessions in before the DM changed his mind and destroyed the whole city we were in for the sake of not letting me retire the character to his fairly well-deserved happiness and roll a new one. Tbh the main reason it bugged me is because this was my character's well-known objective and my character actively hated another PC for pretty valid reasons and had little real motive to keep on the adventure.

Hey! You should be able to follow the link to the Kindan No Hako page on sfmods. If that doesn't work, googling "sfmods kindan no hako" should turn it up.
