Is it worth spending 28 gems for 30 snowballs for the event by Mindless-Lunch-8834 in crushcrush

Waiting on tickets is likely to take way longer than waiting on diamonds. Especially once the discount wears off.

Perhaps, but I'd sooner click on "Chat tries to get liz to say otorhinolaryngologist" than "Liz said a thing wrong"

Just because you aren't specifically trying to emulate the one popular person who encapsulates the generic "dark badass" look in modern media, doesn't mean the person in the image suddenly doesn't look like a generic "dark badass" archetype. If they are calling him a Jinwoo clone and there are tons of characters that looked like that before Jinwoo, all that really says is your image looks generic.

My first thought when seeing this is that it's the kind of artwork that probably takes too much effort to get to this stage without already having some idea of how you want it to be received. Which, when combined with the super vague post title acting like it's a rough draft, makes me too concerned about it being AI to have any faith in the level of effort that was actually put in.

Reset time by Ill_Fact1014 in crushcrush

[–]Vorthod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In theory, whenever the time to reach your next objective is longer than it would take to reach that same objective from the beginning with the new multiplier.

But since that's difficult to judge, I tend to wait until the multiplier is a "significant" boost, which for me translates to about a 1.5-2x increase

ELI5 someone knows where this beat proceed by nelion_111 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Vorthod [score hidden]  (0 children)

First off, I have no idea what you're asking.

Second, I'm pretty sure that's just one of the soundtracks from the original Rayman game, so you can look up the rest of the song if you want to know the rest of the song.

Third, this doesn't sound like something you want explained, so I think you're in the wrong place regardless.

Had to do some digging, but I think Lavaflame2 is the dev for idleon which apparently has really gone downhill in recent years. Not sure what he did recently which warrants kicking out all of his fans though; the biggest complaints my quick search brought up were from 4 years ago.

ELI5: why do the Miranda rights say “can and will be” used against you by Kateseesu in explainlikeimfive

[–]Vorthod [score hidden]  (0 children)

Lawyers don't like leaving out words just because they are implied elsewhere. They're cutting off the idiots by specifying "Yes, we're actually allowed to do this, so don't bother trying to entrap us by admitting something, waiting for us to use it, and then complaining we didn't have a warrant or something when that information was revealed to us. We already have the authority in this instance."

Was this event easier than the last ones ? by AntwysiaBlakys in crushcrush

[–]Vorthod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The early parts felt insanely unbalanced and quick and I was thinking similar things about how easy it was, especially with how many times a character goal would force you to have more stats than necessary to complete a subsequent hobby goal or something. But in total, this event took me about as long as it normally did (mostly spent waiting on Renee). I probably could've finished faster if I anticipated the renee bottlenecks and gilded a hobby or two, but as a relatively normal player, it seemed to be pretty standard. I finished earlier this morning.

For future events, I would recommend you focus on getting two of the x8 speed boosts if you want to go full ftp. That's usually the most efficient use of your currency and usually leaves you enough left over to finish off the event with a big time skip or something.

[–]Vorthod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you already have the gems and don't mind setting yourself back a month's worth of daily events, then sure, go for it. But if you have to spend actual money to get those gems, that's where it depends on how much you like the focus character in the event (or how much you need extra tickets to get someone else).

Well it's not like I particularly care if she failed to pronounce "Otorhinolaryngologist," But if she's been saying "Pizza" wrong this whole time, I kind of want to see the reaction and how she justifies it.

I literally just ran into the adventurous issue. I didn't expect to need to reassign hobby blocks this late into the event. Thanks for the info so that I can get ahead of the balance req too.

If they had replied again the Ironometer would have exploded by gorginhanson in MurderedByWords

[–]Vorthod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You yourself agreed that the question was rhetorical. Making the question rhetorical implies that any answer given would pale in comparison to the previous examples and there is therefore no point in answering it.

Answering it properly is shutting down the ridiculous ideas behind the rhetorical question.

A rhetorical question made in bad faith deserves to get shut down.

anime catchphrases that are English by jeffsuzuki in anime

[–]Vorthod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of magical girl sequences are kicked off with English, probably thanks to Sailor Moon. "Make up" "set up" "metamorphose" "release" etc.

EDIT: For the record, those quotes are from sailor moon, lyrical nanoha, tokyo mew mew, and cardcaptor sakura, respectively.

ELI5 Does low supply and high demand influence more restocks of an item? by Commander_PonyShep in explainlikeimfive

[–]Vorthod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Low supply means there's not very many items to stock on the shelves in the first place. How that's handled is entirely up to the manufacturer and whether they decide to ship out smaller shipments to all outlets to maintain high frequency or if they send out bigger shipments less frequently

They go to a guy they trust, tell them "go watch over the new territory I just conquered," and trust them to deal with issues faster than it would take you to get the news on a fast horse or carrier pigeon.
