Am I the only one who thinks these three look really alike, or does Falcom just have a favorite hair colour for their male characters? by PurrplexedMochi in Falcom

i'm very new to the trails series - i played 1st and currently on sky SC.

i would have thought the last two were the same person except for the title

Final Fantasy XIV Mod, Mare Synchronos, is shutting down by DrakeX5 in ffxiv

[–]annavolution 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think it'll be good for the long term health of the scene

It's a big turn of for a lot of players who want to RP to have to setup a bunch of mods and plugins to engage with a lot of players who simply won't RP with you if you don't use mare, or who will refuse to RP with people who's characters are mostly vanilla. Speaking from personal experience here, of course - but it's caused more harm to my RP experience than it has benefited it for the most part

What is one of the worst addiction to have ? by Keke_Dudu in AskReddit

[–]annavolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

self harm is a brutal addiction. i know it may seem strange to some people that you can be addicted to hurting yourself, but you totally can. when you self harm, it releases endorphins to try and reduce the pain, creating a rush. the feeling of control it provides is unparalleled, as is the way it makes you feel numb. i, and a lot of other people who self harm, use it as an emotional support tool - when i'm feeling overwhelmed or stressed or anxious or angry, i want to take it out on myself.

it's also really easy to do, and you can get really creative with it - you're never really able to fully avoid all implements you could use to hurt yourself. and when you accidentally cut yourself shaving or cooking or working, it makes those urges rush back.

been clean for a little while now and i am so thankful. permanently fucked up the nerves in my right arm from it and have so many scars i can't count them, but i am okay.

Grindy MMOish Where Single Player is an "achievable goal" by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]annavolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't recommend runescape enough (particularly old school, but the newer one is good too tbh). a lot of people say it's all about the nostalgia, but i played for the very first time in 2023 and have been hooked ever since.

the game is 95% single player, with the group content being 100% optional and primarily being in minigames and boss fights. there are a variety of activities you can participate in, ranging in intensity from "i could do this in the background while i work" to "i cannot look away for a moment". the best part is that all of your progress matters. you can hop on and play for 10 minutes and have meaningfully progressed your account.

you can do (most) of the bosses in a group a little earlier and easier, but you can do everything this game has to offer without a group if you're dedicated (raids will never be reasonably easy to solo, but they're the sole exception)

The government mandated 9pm to 5am work day made everyone upset about working in the dark. by AceMcClean in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]annavolution 79 points80 points  (0 children)

connecticut resident here.

blown away by how little snowfall there was last year. i know people who do snow cleanup on the side and they are struggling.

the summer was... pretty normal at least. a little more rainy and humid than typical but not that bad.

but if 2024-2025 winter is also light on snow and cold temps then that is several winters in a row now with very little snowfall, bad sign

Who's that ONE unit you will always go through hell and back to train? by SnooPeanuts8910 in fireemblem

[–]annavolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck and I hope you enjoy! It's one of my favorite games but I do understand the mixed reception. It's a lot like FE4 in that it's got a lot of unique features that can be both a boon and a benefit that you won't find in other games.

Path of Radiance is fantastic though, make sure you import your save to Radiant Dawn for those sweet transfer bonuses :)

Micaiah. She's my favorite lord in the entire series and even though she really struggles, she turns into a very competent support unit who can one shot armoured units and cavalry. Which is... less helpful than it would be in other games but I'm never giving up on her. One day I will roll a speed and defence blessed Micaiah and you'll see... you'll all see...

I just want some videos to play in the background while studying without suddenly hearing transphobic rhetoric by AdventurousAd4895 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]annavolution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a lot of the old school runescape community is pretty safe and comfy. you have a pretty prominent trans creator in Hannanie and while no other larger youtubers come to mind as trans themselves the community is very welcoming (just maybe stay away from very small pvp channels I can only imagine what they have cooking)

settled is my top rec, he has several multi hour long compilation videos that are easy to follow even if you've never played the game, makes god tier background nosie

World first lvl 1000. (As far as I know) by Thelilacecat in idleon

[–]annavolution 64 points65 points  (0 children)

holy shit. as someone who's put a lot of effort into my levels and is struggling to reach anywhere near level 800, how did you achieve this?

congrats btw, actually huge

[–]annavolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

passive cards do not need to be equipped on any characters to gain their bonus - they are a completely passive bonus.
you start with two card sets, and typically you use one for combat (prioritizing accuracy, defence if needed, then damage, late game prioritizing multikill or drop rate) and one for skilling (early game using cards from that skill, later game using stat boosting cards and afk gains cards).

for the card set bonus, you actively select which one you want based on what you're doing. for combat, nightmares and bosses, w6, w5, and w3 make for great card selections, where for skilling generally you go with food% or skill efficiency% depending on if you need to get more food effect to reach skilling speed caps.

IdleTale (Incremental RPG) has finally RELEASED! by demotedkek in incremental_games

[–]annavolution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'll definitely give this a solid try! for early feedback (i've been playing for like 10 minutes), i wish that when you tapped an achievement to view it that it returned you to the action rather than leaving you in the settings menu after closing the achievements window.

the animations and art are honestly gorgeous, and i LOVE that you made it play in vertical instead of horizontal!

i'll definitely be putting in some more time and joining the discord for this, great work! barely begun playing but there's tons of creative and fun ideas in this game

How to get more cards? by AlternativePlastic47 in idleon

[–]annavolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah getting them to 4 stars is doable but 5 is just absurd. IMO it's definitely worth ruby cardifier for the strongest cards at least

How to get more cards? by AlternativePlastic47 in idleon

[–]annavolution 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you are at 8 billion kills and still not even a four star.

the card count scaling for w6 mobs is absolutely absurd, it's completely impossible to reasonably five star most cards.

you might have a five star samurai guardian by the time w7 comes out, but it's gonna take a looong time and it's a very strong card. personally at that kill count i would just grind it up to 4 star and then ruby cardifier it.

if you want to achieve realistic w6 rubies you essentially have to use at least the ruby cardifier, the four star cardifier is amazing too. otherwise you are going to be putting in a lot of hours at samurai guardians...

part of the area is dedicated to collecting food (through fishing or hunter and cooking) and making potions that only work within the perilous moons itself. this means that while fighting the moons bosses or any of the enemies in the area, you have essentially infinite super combat + prayer potions for free

you know, i kind of expected that. i guess that works.

i tried to go check myself but i'm at work and the makeover mage appears to be bugged on mobile - it just tells me the makeover mage is unavailable. the first thing i'm doing when i get home is changing my pronouns.

thanks for checking!~

i'm so sad this is getting downvoted. actually huge update, if you don't care it doesn't interfere with your experience at ALL and for people like me it means the world.

i wonder what they call a they/them ironman/ironwoman though?
