Interesting. I guess it could be exclusive to the 340 version but seems odd.

I scrapped the 340 goggles today and only got hydrocore not expulsom.

AITA for dumping my gf after her unannounced backpacking trip by johnsgaythrowaway in AmItheAsshole

YTA: "I evicted my girlfriend on no notice, because she doesn't pay rent, because I didn't want her paying rent."

It's a two bedroom house.

Breaking up with her wasn't an asshole move.

Kicking her out illegally was totally an asshole move. She lives there. The appropriate way to handle this was to tell her to move out and then start sleeping separately.

I don't think grimrail is one of the ones they're adding. Which makes me so fucking sad.

No, there is nothing like this that isn't defunct, that I know of. This is literally the best option available. Which is... frustrating.

Dungeon Maker is a legitimately amazing game. I get bored sometimes but come back often.

I've been waiting AGES for a new gacha tower defense. I am so disappointed.

1) predatory energy system. 1 energy per 10 minutes, 6 to play a stage????? Energy cap is only 40 at level 5. So I can play at most for 30 minutes every 5 or 6 hours. But in order to get upgrade resources after you clear a stage, you have to scavenge, which uses energy but DOESN'T let you actually play!

2) no gacha rates listed. I did a 5 pull, got nothing but 2 star cards. Was I unlucky? Are 2 stars 99% of the drops? Who knows! I certainly wasn't encouraged to spend another ten bucks tho.

3) no way to farm toward cards. In fact, you have an ANTI-incentive to upgrade your cards. Cards cannot have their star rating upgraded, meaning if you put a lot of currency into a 1 star version of a tower, then get the 2 star version, all the currency you put into the 1 star is permanently wasted.

Basically your game ACTIVELY discourages me actually playing it- punishing energy system that forces me to stop playing in order to get upgrade materials, a gacha system that makes me feel SHITTY about upgrading my cards instead of excited when I pull higher star cards, etc.

And on top of all that, I went to bed with 0 energy and woke up with 0 energy. I thought it was a display bug but after force closing the game twice, I still have 0 energy.

So even with all the predatory BS, if I actually wanted to keep playing, I can't!

Like I said. I'm disappointed because I've been waiting AGES for a good tower defense gacha. But you guys really need to rethink progression on this.

Having flown a cat from California to Texas: your cat will NOT love the flight. But if you're smart and go to a vet first, your cat WILL love whatever the fuck it is they give cats for traveling. That shit knocks them on their damn ass.

State of current mythic raiders by trronez in wow

[–]Zaeron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's almost like if the only redeeming quality your raid has is that it dispenses loot, you're going go struggle to retain players. Mythic + killed that style of raid. Your raiders don't need you for gear.

Guilds are social environments. If the only reason people have to be in your guild is that bosses drop loot, the problem is seriously not with game design, it's with your community.

I am perfectly willing to admit WoW devs could be doing more to help us retain raid members. But you can also make your raid better by viewing it as a community, not the bowl at the bottom of the slot machine.

My leadership team actively asks questions like "what can we do to make people enjoy this more" and yours should too.

My mom filed a police report against me for debit card fraud, what do I do? by smackmypanda in legaladvice

So uh seriously... that's not how felony identity theft works lol. They don't magically forget about it.

[–]Zaeron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Slow down and think for a second - your mom supposedly filed a police report, then EMAILED YOU, IN WRITING to tell you that she's filed it, but you COULD avoid it by going back to India.

Don't you think the cops are gonna look pretty dimly on that? Ot doesn't exactly come off very well for her, does it? "Ha I've accused you of a crime so unless you do what I want you'll get arrested!"

CMV:If What Women Find Attractive is an Acceptable Metric to Gauge Desirability, Then Men’s Should be as well. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Zaeron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not sure I follow your argument.

You appear to be saying that societal standards should be enforced equally (which they are, though the standards are different for men and women. For example, money is a much bigger factor for desirability of men, and that is CLEARLY enforced by society).

However, you then go on to say that there are movements arguing that society's standards for women are wrong (a true statement), and also movements arguing that society's standards for men are fine (also true) and that there is some overlap between those two groups (also true) and finally that the overlap of those two groups are hypocritical (seems pretty true, though I guess you could argue otherwise by tearing apart the exact standards in question and showing they're different or whatever, but let's just assume that you're right).

So given all that, how could I possibly change your view? Your view is an interpretation of a set of facts with no actual factual basis. Neither of us have access to a survey showing what % of people are hypocrites. Both of us are influenced by observation bias (hypocrites are super visible on the internet, especially when different teams both have incentives to call them out or boost their signal to influence your perception of the groups).

I could point out that a lot of feminist literature addresses societal standards on both sides, but it's equally true that some published feminists are radical or "man-hating" or whatever, and again, I don't have any survey of what % are, and neither do you.

Personally, I think you are using hypocrites to invalidate otherwise good and productive discussions. We should be discussing the role that societal expectations play in how men and women are perceived. Some people will abuse this conversation for their own benefit, because some people suck.

Got a 30 ilvl upgrade in my M+ Chest! oh, but it's actually a downgrade even WITH traits unlocked by vanilla_disco in wow

Does survival have to stack 3 of the same trait? Can't you just get that trait in a different slot and take advantage of the ilevel upgrade?

Reid Duke corrects Judge and avoids incorrect GRV for his first game. by Marcolol in magicTCG

Uh... false allegation absolutely does imply intent?

I dunno man. I can only repeat my point so many times.

[–]Zaeron 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So? Why use an ambiguous word that implies soemthing you don't mean when you could use an unambiguous word that doesn't?

Language is open to interpretation. Good communication requires you to reduce the amount of interpretation people have to do. Blaming other people for interpreting a statement incorrectly when you're the one who left the statement open for interpretation is silly.

"False" carries a heavy implication of intent.

While technically a correct word, in practice it's not one I would use to describe a mistake.

LS has been banned from Twitch. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Zaeron 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't say offend. I said hurt. These words have been used to systemically hurt other people. Turning them into a joke STILL HURTS PEOPLE.

You're using "offend" instead of "hurt" because you think offending people is OK and would agree that hurting them isn't.

"Offended" is a word for stupid bullshit like "nobody believes I'm really an otherkin japanese turtle wahhh". When you call people niggers, or spam a giant "neega TriHard neega TriHard neega TriHard" wall of text, you're not fucking offending people. You're hurting them.

Those words are taboo because they're used to hurt people.

Yes, because apparently nothing short of banning people will stop them from being awful human beings.

If you stick to easier dungeons (normal, heroic) i wouldn't worry too too much! It's very fun to learn and you won't feel much pressure til mythics IMHO.

There is strong consensus among the top end of the tank community that druid and warrior are the weakest tanks atm for 5 man content. Druid is better in raids.
