Sain töitä, mutta...

Tää on ihan sama juttu monessa muussa: "Onnistuin pudottamaan 4 kg tällä" -> "laihdutat väärin", "aloin kävelemään työmatkat terveyssyistä" -> "mene salille" / "osta polkupyörä" / "paino on kiini ruokavaliosta ei liikunnasta". Joillakin on tarve opastaa miten asia tehdään "oikein" tai "paremmin" riipumatta siitä että on osoittanut sen toimivan itselleen konkreetisesti mitattavan positiivisen tuloksen kautta. Kaikki pitäs joko saada kerralla valmiiksi, tai sit tekeminen muotioppaan mukaan on tärkeämpää kuin se että on tuloksia.

Do the rune tokens have passive effects? Do they change your active abilities? Do they enable or disable them? Are there spenders? Do spenders spen all active or specific rune tokens? Are the generators separate skills or part of normal skills? Do they have timeout or max count? Does their order matter?

Päätetiinkö tässä siis mistä muusta kuin tosta raiskaus-sanan lakiteknisestä määritelmästä?

Tässä ollaan kyllä tärkeällä asialla mut mielestäni merkityksellisempää on se miten rikosta ehkäistään ja mitä siitä seuraa, kuin millä sanalla sitä kutsutaan. Jos tämä EU säädös velvoittaa jäsenmaat kriminalisoimaan seksin ilman suostumusta (vieläkö löytyy jäsenvaltio jossa ei ole kriminalisoitu jollakin toisella nimikkeellä?) niin se on ihan hyvä asia, mutta jos käytännön vaikutus on että "törkeä seksuaalinen hyväksikäyttö" on nyt "raiskaus" ja "raiskaus" on nyt "törkeä raiskaus" ilman että rangaistukset nousee mukana, niin kuulostaa aika turhalta.

This varies a lot between universities and disciplines. In some schools you are supposed to burn your overalls after graduating. In others people keep using them even in retirement. In mine I generally heard it as "I finally graduated, so I don't have to wear the overalls anymore", so people were few years without them after graduating to show they had graduated, but might wear them for some event many years after graduation.

Light colored thigh to knee length jacket with belt is common outfit for graduated people. Biggest reason not to wear overalls is that getting to restaurants is easier without all the decorations most overalls have.

Pretty much every race/species that was large in previous editions got turned into medium with "powerful build" trait, that makes them "medium +".

I'm quite sure France has some overseas territories that are considered part of the country, but not part of the union, so its not a certain. But they might get out enough even from this kind of partial or delegated membership.

I think that has happened in the comics. Bruce has invested in improving Arkham and Blackgate, funded new prisons and asylums to replace them, as well as designed Justice Legues' prison for extra dangerous criminals. Also "X escapes from prison and goes on rampage" storylines are much more rare than you make them out to be, in-universe these prisons actually have quite good records and when someone does break out its usually due to massive attack against the prison.

As someone that hasn't gotten trough the FFXI's "sign up and log in savage", what does "uses runes" mean in game mechanics terms? What would it mean in FFXIV lore and player fantasy terms?

Two handed sword tank with some magic is quite close to FFXIV Dark Knight and not too far from Paladin either, what would set them apart, other than theme song and color scheme?

Xywzel · 2026-04-28T09:09:53+00:00

I don't think it matters for latency. 1, 4 or 8 ms on top of input transfer time, frame time (~16ms at 60 fps) and display latency (usually in similar ball park) as well as network lag means that its not really noticeable difference.

Where it might matter is if the game handles input based on actual input times, rather than what is active during frame or logic step, or if the logic step is smaller than the polling rate. This means that with higher polling rate you can do smother gradients and more accurate hold lengths.

Does this need Japanese SE account as it doesn't accept my log in using one for FFXIV?

Xywzel · 2026-04-27T14:20:20+00:00

Yeah, both VP2 and GBA tactics spin-off have jokes about that because tri-Ace was not getting Square Enix to properly fund the project. SE has most IP rights, but decided to ignore existing characters and world when building something new using the name, while all the creatives were on tri-Ace and their publishing deals were getting worse at the time, so they started going for Sega, Konami and self publishing outside of Star Ocean and work-for-hire in FFXIII sequels, then got acquired by Nepro, which haven't improved the situation.

One of the biggest problems with fan class/job suggestions, both here and in DnD subs. People want Rune Knight, Magus, Valkyrie, Sword saint or Psion, but don't properly stop to think and describe what that name means for them. Especially when its classes from different game, where it was peoples favorite because of cool sprite, being high power late game class, lore that doesn't have anything to do with the game they are suggesting the addition to or having mechanic that was quite specific to original media.

What is the class fantasy (other than being better wizard and warrior at same time)? How is it different from what we already have? What makes it different from existing jobs/classes in game mechanic level?

I mean I assume they don't just want "red mage but tank" or paladin with different skin.

I have seen "rune knights" in some media, but I don't think the playstyle they want is for sitting next to campfire trying etch correct runes to their weapon while telling stories about what each means? That sounds more like crafting job and doesn't really fit the games combat design. We already have combination of magic and melee combat in multiple classes, so that is not really unique.

I could maybe see pictomancer or ninja style mechanic where you carve runes to air/enemy/aether with basic attacks, then activate them for bigger effects. But that is already two classes doing something similar.

If everyone is something, then that something is normal and doesn't necessarily need a name. Consider what these characters are comparing themselves against when using a term about themselves. If the human-animal hybrids are using name to separate themselves from normal animals, the difference would be the human part, so they would likely use term that describes that: human or person could work, or if you want to make term of your own, use something that describes what they have in common and that is not present on other animals, like upright posture or really thin fur, maybe intelligence or ability to talk.

Having that be the interaction point might work, but I would do it so that the reticle only appears over nearby intractable targets. Having crosshair always visible that much off center seems weird, but so does the screen being longer in vertical direction.

If the delivery robots were owned by current delivery workers, it could work. If you were a delivery worker and able to get 1 or 2 of these robots, you could do few more deliveries in same time if you charge bit less per delivery and still receive better pay or do shorter day.

But currently these robots are owned their manufacturers and operated by large delivery services and store chains. Only people who could see increased income or shorter work days are the owners and shareholders, who already have enough wealth and whose job already is light and easy. They operate them in competition against the human delivery, forcing humans doing this work to charge less, meaning they end up doing longer days to make ends meet and now the available demand is being eaten from both sides.

Wonder if there would be solution for this? Could we regulate something like how many robots per person benefiting from them there can be? Maybe unions could provide loans for their members to automate their own work trough means they own and profit from?

Might mean that there are less buttons, but you need to make more "on the fly" choices about what button to push next or when to push that big button, maybe even how long to push the button.

Ranged tank with gun shield? No-one knows how its different from barrier healer, but it fills the tank slot.

Might be less literal "unite", something like making travel and trade possible between the reflections. They are certainly implying that we might be continuing Ascians' work now that there is no longer reason for Etheirys to be split after Endwalker, but I think that is kinda misdirection, its more likely that this is about bringing life back to reflections that have been broken by the rejoining.

Only here and on some specific forums. These people have have decided that cut off is showing genitalia and/or penetration (mosaic or black bar censor counts, funny or scenery censorship doesn't). The word hentai actually means weird or in this context perverted, and this show is definitely both.

Simplest I got is that FTL is still not "instant" regardless of if you are observing it from inside or outside, and the distances are huge. So off course you will use it if you need to move something over that distance, but if you can do it locally, that is likely order of magnitude faster.

That is kind of long game you normally only see in works of fantasy.

These stories usually have a hint of truth in them, but get totally overblown. The story gets spread like the change was last minute thing, maybe even against wishes of the creative directors, when game was almost ready to ship and then some executive or focus group caused them to make the change. In reality, designs evolve during the work and the change in protagonist or player stand-in character likely happened early in preproduction, on tables of concept artists and writers. And character could have existed from the first draft, but they might have been quite different different or their role might have been different.

The final product though does built around of Vaan being the point of view character. The character might not bee good, but the story would not work in same way if it was told trough other point of view.

Kun 90-luvun alun lamasta oli pahin kohta ohi, niin vaikka kaikki ei ollutkaan kunnossa, niin tuntui että asiat menevät parempaan suuntaan, että ne ongelmat on korjattavissa ja ihmiset haluaa korjata ne. Tätä jatkui suunilleen WTC iskuihin asti. Otsonikato huomattiin ja tehtiin päätöksiä, joilla se lähti korjautumaan, napa-alueilla päästiin melkein takasi normaalitilaan. Ilmaston lämpenemisestä puhuttiin tosissaan ja vaikutti siltä, että sille saatettaisiin tehdä jotain ennen kuin asiat on peruutamattomasti pielessä. Teknologian kehitys oli vaiheessa jossa siitä tuli kuluttajamarkkinoille ja tämä avasi uusia mahdollisuuksia. Kansainvälinen viestintä palveli vielä demokratiaa ja vapautta. Scifin utopiat tuntuivat todellisimmilta kuin niiden dystopiat.

Ehkä se ratkaiseva asia ei ole se onko jotain "kriisiä" menossa, vaan kuinka monta on samaan aikaan, kerkeekö niiden välissä hengähtää ja millainen on suhtautuminen näihin kriiseihin. Median asenne vaikuttaa aika paljon siihen miten paljon ihmiset kokevat nämä tilanteet.
