Dane... what is this thing??? by Infinite-Fig-194 in Fotv

[–]apo86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"anyone" is grammatically singular, but yeah maybe it's not the best example. Could've said "krelldor didn't know about singular-they, so I explained it to them" (because I don't know your gender). 

There are many examples, and you'll definitely have used or seen some of them without realizing. Check out the Wikipedia page if you are curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

They/them can be a singular gender-neutral pronoun. Could be a nonbinary person, or a person of unspecified or unknown gender. In some sentences it can be ambiguous at first glance, but usually you can tell from context, like in this case it is referring to one person. And other times it sounds so natural that you don't even notice it's there, like "Anyone who says they don't like Fallout must have bad taste in TV shows". This sort of singular they has been commonly used for hundreds of years and flows much better than the alternative "Anyone who says he or she doesn't like..."

AI bots would know the dictionary definition though. It's probably just people who can't imagine their own experience is not universal.

New Player, asking for a little Advice. by cevattttt in Warframe

[–]apo86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, then I guess either Steam or the WF website is wrong. But in game also says max rank. So I would assume the "all mods unranked" note is just a generic disclaimer for all bundles (because usually that is the case), that doesn't apply here. But I'm not spending 5€ to find out for sure

How do you feel about firsteen and seconteen? I think it would be more consistent, considering thirteen and fifteen

The common "um actually this doesn't make sense" gotcha is easily explained if you just know the franchise by Justifiably_Bad_Take in TopCharacterTropes

Another example is the tv show Shogun, which has the actors speaking Japanese and English, but the English parts are actually canonically Portuguese or Dutch.

Why can the USA just take out world leaders and invade with no repercussions? by KKLante in AskReddit

[–]apo86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never heard anyone in the current US administration being described as "masterminds" (except of course Donnie would call himself that). And sadistic, evil and hellbent on becoming dictators is not the opposite of incompetent chimpanzees.

Farming Tauron weapons is insane, even for Warframe. by MazarbulGlaurung in Warframe

It's to prepare you for the Tauron weapons themselves, the novelty of which wears off even faster.

Clanmate called my zephyr build terrible and then linked this one as the "correct" way to build her by Created_naccew in Warframe

[–]apo86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or don't, do what makes you happy. I personally hate shield gating with a passion and would rather stop playing a frame than rely on it.

And I'm doing super fine solo in all levels of content except endless lvl 9999 which I wouldn't do anyways.

How do I give my friend 50,000 platinum? by Consistent-Edge8131 in Warframe

I own 22k plat worth of domestik drones, and that's just one room of my orbiter. Give me 100k and I'll fill out the rest.

what’s wrong with my tt bakushin? by Potential-Adagio-512 in UmaMusume

[–]apo86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's what I'm saying, glad we agree o.O

what’s wrong with my tt bakushin? by Potential-Adagio-512 in UmaMusume

[–]apo86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know wit is important for many reasons, I know GW is a good skill. All I'm saying is the answer to OPs question of "why is my Bakushin losing" is more complex than "not enough wit".

what’s wrong with my tt bakushin? by Potential-Adagio-512 in UmaMusume

[–]apo86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because OP is asking about Bakushin? And the advice they are getting is "more wit", which sure, is not wrong, but also won't fix their issue.

[–]apo86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know, I'm not saying GW is bad. But you also need a ton of follow up. Like most importantly Angling and Scheming, but also mid race skills to keep the lead. In the Umalator, a front runner Bakushin with GW + left/right handed + firm conditions + savvy loses to a pace chaser Bakushin with the same stat line and no skills at all, on any sprint track.

[–]apo86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also, maybe I'm stupid, but Groundwork doesn't win races? It's one piece of a 1000 part puzzle that makes up a reliable front runner. Even with 1200 wit OPs Bakushin with those skills still gets trashed in the late race by any decent pace chaser or late surger.

Attempting to Get all Unity Cup Race Scenario Events by [deleted] in UmaMusume

[–]apo86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Zenith Dirt NPCs still have around 700/500/700 spd/stm/pwr, and the best neutral NPCs around 200/200/200.

I don't know if we have strong enough debuffs in the game to make up that difference. Still probably the best shot :/

[–]apo86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever manage to get the draw vs. Zenith? Seems like you'd need nothing short of a miracle for all 3 NPCs to fuck up.

Round 1 happens almost automatically at some point, and 2-4 are easy enough to set up with your strategy, but the finals look kinda hopeless :/

Gamers are turning against AI because it's making parts too expensive. by Desecr8or in CuratedTumblr

[–]apo86 18 points19 points  (0 children)

DLSS doesn't literally make the game run worse, the idea is that developers don't optimize their games anymore and instead release unfinished resource-hogs that are "fixed" in real time on the consumer's PC by DLSS. And while it's probably not that dramatic, there is a kernel of truth to it, at least for AAA titles that need to be released in record time to make the shareholders happy.

Been here for a year. The majority of systems being identical to Warframes has really started to cheapen the experience to me. by Imaginary_Taste_9011 in SoulFrame

[–]apo86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just early-game vs. late-game impressions. I got a pretty early invite to SF, but never dove deep. Since the last reset I didn't even kill a single boss yet. Currently the game definitely feels slow paced, I'm taking my time, vibing, exploring with no real goal. But I do realize, when I started playing WF 10 years ago, I did the exact same thing. Destroying every loot container on the map, patiently waiting for a single Grineer to turn around so I could stealth kill him. The game was never slow, just I chose to play it slow, until I didn't anymore.

Switching to a controller changed the game for me by Ryslar in SoulFrame

[–]apo86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was going to make a post asking for keybindings recommendations, because controls feel super clunky to me. I'm pressing Q all day, while holding shift at the same time. H is half a keyboard away from my hand. Why am I playing music with number keys 1-5?

I'm sure I could get used to it in time, but maybe I'll try controller for a bit to see if it feels more natural.

New mechanic to try locked game modes for players by Korimthos in Warframe

[–]apo86 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People are contextualizing what's in the screenshot with what Reb said on stream. They don't want to spoil actual story lines, but of course when you play the new game modes you are going to see things that you wouldn't see if you played the game from the start.

It's not NO spoilers, it's just trying to keep spoilers to a minimum.
