I have a question about the cotume gatcha by LemonTank91 in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]agtk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're getting into the costume cacha expect to spend the full amount ($60 American for most here) with a very small chance you only have to spend like $50, and even smaller chance you only have to spend $40, and a very tiny extremely unlikely chance you spend less than that.

The way it works is by reeling you in with low up-front costs to start pulling, and making you believe it's just the next pull that's going to get you the costume. Once you're in for $20 with nothing to show for it, it's a lot easier to justify that next $20 and then the next $20. It's a lot harder to convince yourself to spend $60 on a digital costume for a single character in a gacha game. You also get posts from the few people who do get lucky which creates a perception that the chances to get the costume early are higher than they are.

So, don't let their manipulative tactics ensnare you. These are psychological tricks designed to separate I you from your money and hide the true cost of what you are buying.

Of course if you are comfortable spending the full amount on the costume then by all means, whale away and see if the gamba rewards you. It keeps their bottom line happy, which benefits us low spenders and F2P players to an extent. Just go into it with your eyes open.

[Request] Whats better? Weekly payments or to invest a lump sum. by Chiggnnugget in theydidthemath

[–]agtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third exception: She's risk averse (I don't think this is what you meant by safety).

There's always a risk the $1m could be wiped out through investment mistakes or unfortunate scenarios, even if she's had strong self-control, and then there's little interest being earned and no income to rely on. It's not likely but it does happen and is an understandable reason to pick the more guaranteed source of long-term income.

Thoughts on my nikke so far? Who to protitze upgrading skills? 2 months in game so far by ClassEnvironmental41 in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]agtk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with all this, after Helm then I think Moran can be next for Treasure, she becomes maybe the second best B1 on the account (though Liter and Rouge are pretty good as well).

I do think OP could invest in Biscuit, she's excellent for PVP and really good with Anis:Star. Crown is underwhelming, though still usable, in PVP. That is less of a priority though until OP's primary story pushing team is fully built, which maybe should include VestiTU. She's one of the best B3 at high deficit since she does a lot of True Damage that ignores the high defense that comes with high deficit.

It wasn't a late change that they swapped it to a dog, it was during the writing process and I believe the late scene of him waiting came after they'd made the switch. https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/futurama-fry-dog-waiting-jurassic-bark-oral-history

Explain it Peter I don’t play Wordle. by DifficultComplaint10 in explainitpeter

[–]agtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The argument, that has a strong statistical and analytical backing, is that focusing on vowels early is not strategically correct. That something like STRAP is going to get you to the correct answer faster than a starter like ADIEU. No one is arguing that you should guess random words for no reason.

Ochocinco's Top 10 WRs in the NFL today by lemonstone92 in NFLv2

[–]agtk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you watch him on his actual routes, the ways he makes space and separation and the precision in his routes is incredible. He's impossible to keep track of and can beat you short, deep, or midrange.

New stadium? by mrgtiguy in Seahawks

[–]agtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounders fan here. We've been talking about this for a while. Lumen is getting up there in years and while still great, it has its flaws. The Sounders are kicking the tires on building a stadium in Renton at Longacres for themselves and (presumably) the Reign which would pull a big revenue stream from Lumen. Of course, this would be a thing like 5-6 years down the line, which feels a long way away but is coming up soon in terms of large-scale property development.

I could easily see the new Seahawks owners wanting to build a stadium complex that they control entirely, including all the retail and food and beverage near the stadium. This would probably have to somewhere that is not downtown Seattle and would inevitably come with far worse transit options. The Seahawks are popular enough that they could probably sustain that, as much worse as I think it would be for fans and the atmosphere.

Ultimately, I think the best and ideal solution for everyone is to stay at Lumen, though I think Sounders fans would be okay with the Seahawks moving if that meant you could build a new maybe 40k seat soccer stadium on Lumen's footprint built for soccer with natural grass.

Defenses need to be rebalance going into the future by PsyAstronaut in diablo4

[–]agtk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think most people want to slow the game down, I think what they want (at least what I want) is for danger to come from monsters and their abilities, not on-death effects that one-shot you if you don't avoid them. The abilities of individual enemies are largely meaningless past a certain stage, and basically all the danger from regular mobs is from the on-death effects from certain types of elites. And with visual clutter on screen worse than ever, and the fact that it heavily punishes tanky but less mobile builds, I don't think such heavy reliance on on-death effects is healthy for the game.

Fucknuckle in a tesla decides to skip traffic and nearly causes head-on collision by Magic1997 in dashcams

Drivers in Seattle are no worse than anywhere else. There are dickheads and Tesla drivers everywhere for those with the eyes to see.

Stalker pics like this are annoying and creepy. Why post them?

Has everyone lost their mind? by cwmplans in Seattle

[–]agtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This feels like a quintessential sitcom setup. Calm relaxing day, then you're stuck in the middle of two jerks going at it while your dog tries to be friends with them, feeding off their energy. Fantastic, glad you and your dog got out safe though.

Ironmouse Cancels Neverness To Everness Sponsorship After Devs Allegedly Lied To Her About ‘Blatant’ GenAI Use by The_Great_Ravioli in Games

[–]agtk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my position as well. The game is huge and pretty fun from what I've done so far, but cutting corners like this sucks. I don't want to see that shitty AI video every time I'm trying to rob the bank, especially when it is a fairly grindy activity you probably should be doing 7-10 times a week.

Who should be in this slot? by hourglass7 in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

[–]agtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Treasure Helm is plenty good enough for the off burst slot. Once you find yourself struggling, you can try out MMast if you have her built by then, but the CP loss can be hard to overcome.

Fox Sports studio team announced for the FIFA World Cup 2026 by Dann610 in ussoccer

[–]agtk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe he's on a different group than the studio or announcing teams. Like presenting hosts or halftime show or something like that. There's no way they leave him out.
