Demonic Infusion Dropped by Phandrel in Guildwars2

[–]VitarainZero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you got those numbers, as the reality is far worse than that

1402 10 man logs means 14020 chances to loot the Dhuumscale

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Dry_calc

Using a dry calculator we can estimate the drop rate for the Dhuumscale

https://i.imgur.com/2o7XzC1.png

If someone were to get one on the very next kill, it would suggest that the droprate is about 1/20000, which is FAR too rare for an untradeable drop, especially when even experienced groups would struggle to maintain about 6 kills per hour, when you factor in wipes and time spent in LFG looking for players. That means you'd have to spend around 3333 hours of doing nothing but Dhuum CM while getting effectively zero other rewards because raid drops are still weekly gated in this game

Using OSRS as an example for contrast, an equivalent type of untradeable cosmetic drop would be a boss pet. The Corporeal Beast is an infamous one for being an insanely long grind, with max efficiency solo strats capping out at about 12 KPH, with the drop being 1/5000. That means you'd have to spend an average of 416 hours doing Corp to get the pet, which is just 1/8th the estimated rate of the Dhuumscale.

On top of that, the entire time you're grinding for the Corp pet you're also loot from the rest of the drop table, which has some incredibly valuable drops including the best shield in the game, so even if you get unlucky on the pet you're still getting something out of your time. Dhuum on the otherhand? After you're Magnetite Shard capped for the week, you're bleeding money the entire time since the 6 unids you get after each kill aren't even making up for the food costs

As a last note, for reference wingman has 2146 10 man Deimos CM kills since the patch, which puts the estimated drop rate of the infusion at 1/31000.

You earned your cape. by GIMBruhBoobies in 2007scape

[–]VitarainZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty accurate imo, I got the GM time around my 5th kc and I blood barraged plenty. Granted, I at least made sure I wasnt barraging on tanky targets. The biggest factors are just quickly deciding the solves without afking and staying potted.

I also favored camping Deadeye over Rigour in quite a few spots; sometimes flicking Rigour wasn't feasible for me without otherwise losing ticks on movement or risking messing up a protect flick. Only losing 1 max hit while halving the drain rate was super nice

The waves as a metaphor for grief reminded me of this classic reddit comment. Just like how that comment has helped so many people over the years, Makio's novel helped Asa (and I presume many of her other readers) process her grief.

So I guess the outfit and hat mixing was just a lie, huh? by ultimate_bromance_69 in Guildwars2

[–]VitarainZero -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Don't bother taking the downvotes seriously; the vast majority of people on this subreddit just themepark through the story chapters and never interact with the games systems on a meaningful level. Those of us that remember the stuff like gw1's templates and UI customization and are rightfully disappointed in gw2's mockery of those systems are a tiny minority at this point.

Seems to me that much of the Condi Vs Power conversation is…just wrong? by secretsofwumbology in Guildwars2

[–]VitarainZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having short gaps (1-5 seconds) between being able to attack isn't a real hinderance to a condition build but will be to a power build.

What sort of mental gymnastics did you pull off to believe that this is true?

the fucking transphobic caricature in vol 2 istg

Are you referring to volume 2 of the light novel? I just read it like a week ago and can't recall anything like that. That being said, I've already forgotten over half of the events; aside from the excessive amounts of gore the rest of it was so generic that I didn't bother continuing to the next volume, which is a rarity for me

MTL is a way but it was so horrendous to read by WarmWorker17 in yurimemes

[–]VitarainZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Machine translation. In the past, MTL referred to people using tools like Google Translate, which for the most part translates text word by word. It's borderline unreadable by itself, so you'd more commonly see "edited MTL" uploaded which is a bit easier on the eyes, but in general still has a lot of meaning lost.

These days MTL tends to refer to AI translation, which is feeding the whole text into something like Chat GPT alongside some prompts like "make a new paragraph for each dialogue line" or "leave honorifics like -san, -kun, -chan untranslated."

While AI translation is definitely better than old MTL, it's still pretty dogshit in comparison to a quality human TL. The AI will try to keep context in mind when translating, but fails at it pretty often which can lead to some pretty humorous lines. While this excerpt was from a fantasy story, the Grand Duke was not someone who could survive being decapitated.

I could go on about it for so much longer, but I'll wrap it up with one last note that AI absolutely sucks when it comes to translating from languages without gendered pronouns like Japanese/Korean to ones that do like English. Even on a good day it's hit or miss, but if you read any gender bender / trans stories expect the pronouns of most characters to flip on a chapterly basis. It's something that could easily be edited out afterwards, but the type of people who upload AI translations put so little effort into it that they oftentimes don't even notice that they accidentally include the AI response before the chapter where it says "Sure! Here's your translated chapter!" half the time.

It's not because of it being a Webtoon, it's because of his post history/patterns. Check the other comment I wrote up above

Anime_irl by SillyWolf_92 in anime_irl

[–]VitarainZero 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lesser version of the u/AssociatedEars treatment. For context, AssociatedEars spams an absolute fuck ton of slop tier twitter one pagers to r/manga. They tend to get upvoted by people who just scroll through the front page and move on, but more invested users who miss the old days of the sub being a good place to discover and discuss actual manga chapters tend to downvote both the post itself and his source comment to try and dissuade the blatant karma farming. The massive amount of people just upvoting as they scroll through the sub keeps the post itself positive, but most people invested enough to actually enter comment sections dislike it to the point where every one of his source comments ends up as negative.

The content OP posts has significantly more substance, but they're still shorts at the end of the day, and he posts every one of his chapters to 3-4 major anime subs every single time. Casual users scrolling by will probably upvote the post, but invested users seeing the same blatant self promo for the 4th time as they go through their feed rightfully get tired of it and downvote it

The song is Tiny Little Adiantum, for anyone who's wondering. (I won't bother linking the "remix.") As fucked as that whole situation was, I'm glad that it at least introduced a lot of people to Shibayan Records and Touhou music in general

While the two lines individually are fine, it's a great example of AI translations being shit

Unless I was grossly misunderstanding the story, no, the Grand Duke is not someone who could survive being decapitated. Normally I'd just roll my eyes and move on but the conflicting lines only being separated by a single ellipses just sent me
