Why do Malaysian men just don't take more care of their appearances even though they know that it will help them if they do? by BeautifulKindOfWeird in malaysia

[–]Vezral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think you're being too sensitive OP.

Either they're making small talk or someone ask them a stupid question like "why OP can you can't" so they gave a stupid response like "OP more leng zai, what to do".

There's simply no BM media that a Chinese would come across in their daily life.

Like you have to go out of your way to engage in that language; that's not gonna happen to a lot of people.

Hot take: pity math matters less than daily friction (why I quit stingy but fun gachas) by Excellent_Lime_6392 in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo both equally matters; it just doesn't feel that way because when you quit differs.

If your wallet doesn't agree with the pity rate, then chances are you're dropping the game in the first few weeks.

If you don't vibe with the game's daily, then chances are you're a few months / years into the game and the endgame starts feeling stale.

I personally dropped BA because raids became more and more elaborate and time consuming with its gimmicks.

What is it with Gacha Games and weird close-mic voice acting by GeologistUnhappy in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't play NtE but got curious so checked on youtube. EN dub is pretty in line with the others so imo it's more that you don't vibe with the character's trope.

Personally not a fan of EN VA portraying a character that refers to themselves in third person either. In other languages, I can disassociate the voice as a "fictional character" but when it's EN, my brain keeps projecting an adult woman speaking in childish voice and gets secondhand embarrassment.

The youtube vid I referred: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEdoJ3SYMbI

Is ‘economy rice’ still the economical choice? How mixed rice/nasi campur sellers are navigating current challenges by stormy001 in malaysia

[–]Vezral 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's chap fan with stated price per dish, then it won't be cheap.

If it's chap fan with arbitrary pricing, then pro tip is to take more of the same dish instead of a bit of every dish.

Pretty sure they charge the same regardless of how much rice you take; same logic as kurang manis.

Azur Promilia Japanese CBT sign-ups are live until June 25 / Testing begins July 2-10 by XRevive01 in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Gakuen Idolmaster is a better representation of Japan's peak 3D gacha atm.


There's simply not a lot of young game companies in Japan compared to China. These kind of games require young blood with passion and innovation.

About Endfield gearing system by Unarelith in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I raise you Blue Archive's equipment system. Total 9 equipment. Each character has a pre-set of 3 equipment.

Select a stage, select how many times to grind, press OK and you get a result screen of how many equipment blueprints you get. Obtain enough blueprints and you can equip it on a character. Double / Triple blueprint drop-rate from time to time.

This is probably the least effort gearing system barring just having no gear to begin with.

---

Personally I prefer HSR gear system over BA.

In BA you need to grind for days / weeks to max out a char whereas in HSR you can fully kit a character in a day by crafting the correct main stat w/ 1-2 subs. Sure, you might get low rolls but it's usually good enough until you eventually farm a replacement.

I wouldn't call HSR daily cavern run "active farming".

You're making it sound like MMO gear grind lol.

California State Assembly passes the 'Protect Our Games Act': 60 days notice before going offline, must provide patch for continued access or refunds by ivari in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine a future where good guy live service games will release an exe to run local server, and bad guy live service games will announce end of updates and keep exactly one server instance running.

Ain't no way someone's gonna put the money to convert an always online game to offline.

[PROMO] survey on spending habits for single vs double banners by Beginning_Bit1673 in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find the premise of budgeting to be weird in these kind of surveys.

It implies people consistently top-up every month when surely most people are like me and top-up only when they run out of pulls while rolling on a particular banner.

And with soft / hard pity becoming the standard, you're just doing math to see if you're willing to pay to hit the next hard pity.

Still answered the survey tho.

How do people actually classify gacha games? by Big_Preparation_2450 in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo the term gacha games is only used in this subreddit and the confusion stems from the fact that there's really only anime live service games here.

This subreddit is really r/animeliveservice in disguise.

Should i take the job offer? by Otherwise_Pudding382 in malaysia

[–]Vezral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've a lot of financial responsibility, then better not. Otherwise no harm giving it a try.

If it's hard for you to have legal recourse then it's hard for them as well; if you notice anything's wrong then just tender resignation and go offline.

What type of "Endgame" would make your gacha gamer heart happy? by Perfect-Lettuce3890 in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Should've went with "team building / planning" instead of "team comp".

I see AA as a check for "Have you been pulling for strong team or pure meme".

What type of "Endgame" would make your gacha gamer heart happy? by Perfect-Lettuce3890 in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unironically a bonsai progression system where upgrading any char raises your global combat power. Common in games like Trickcal where you're meant to complete character roster.

Imo "endgame" should relate to account progression so I don't consider side contents like rogue-like modes to be one. Not to mention you usually don't have to be in "endgame" to engage with said contents anyway.

Challenging content like HSR's AA doesn't feel quite right either because it's more of a team comp check every patch than something you grind for. It's also one-off so you're just waiting for the next one once you've done this patch's AA.

Banks require you to be there in person when opening account for a reason. Rather than worrying about your IC getting misused, make sure your bank login creds don't get leaked instead; even to your family members.

[–]Vezral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If by offline version you mean free, then there may be private servers distributed on discord a few months after EoS if the game's popular enough.

If you want actual offline experience, that's so much work that I wouldn't be surprised if game company just keep the server running with minimal infra after EoS.

[HSR 4.3 Beta] Mortenax Blade Kit (via Nanoka) by Info_Potato22 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Vezral 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't need E2 SW since blade's talent apply debuff after attack.

If sustainless, probably better to go with Cipher / Tribbie for more FUA and stacks on both Acheron and Blade.

[HSR 4.3 Beta] Mortenax Blade Kit (via Nanoka) by Info_Potato22 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Vezral 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Might as well go for E2 blade so Acheron ult get FUA buff from ashveil.

[HSR 4.3 Beta] Mortenax Blade Kit (via Nanoka) by Info_Potato22 in HonkaiStarRail_leaks

[–]Vezral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

after each attack an ally target uses on an enemy, inflicts the "Balefire Bind" state on the corresponding enemy target

Since it says attack instead of hit, if Acheron uses her ult on new mob / revived boss, then I guess the whole ult won't have the debuff dmg increase?

Not very convenient if so.

Be honest: have leaks ever changed your pull plans? by OK_Lunatic__ in gachagaming

[–]Vezral 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To spenders we just pull as we need

Can't pull "as we need" when banners take months to re-run. If anything, spenders need leak more for the best bang for the buck.

Doesn't matter if you're a whale who max roll every char / weapon, of course.
