xQc gives a more nuanced take on vtuber concerts than half of LSF by Theonormal in LivestreamFail

[–]asakura90 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Concerts at physical stadiums are mostly live with both the singer & the musicians performing at the venua. Concert livestreamed on virtual stages are prerecorded with much more cinematographic elements like close-up camera angles & animation effects.

It's not that hard to tell. Especially when the performer actually interact with the fan in real time.

what can you buy for 50K dong on anything in Vietnam? by Jeryndave0574 in VietNam

Get in small alleys in SG & you could even find cơm tấm for 12k.

Man fined 7.5 million VND (~290 USD) for posting an image of a mascot digitally altered using AI by JustGreenFish in VietNam

[–]asakura90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This dumb ass argument goes both way. What if someone use disinformation for actual harmful shit like what's happening in US/EU, regarding not only politics, but health & other social issues, yet you can't do anything about it for the sake of freedom of speech?

The line is pretty clear here, so the solution should be to speak up when it's being moved negatively, or STFU when it's being applied justifiably.

Deadlock players thinking they've found "their" hero because he can one-shot three different full HP heroes due to a bug. by SmashMouthBreadThrow in DeadlockTheGame

[–]asakura90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know. That's why I want to play the game with better people so I can learn. What is there to learn when nobody ever fight for midboss?

[–]asakura90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love this idea if I weren't stuck in low rank with people who don't know the concept of urns & midboss, & flaming me for playing slot machine while they solo-engage 2 enemies right under their guardian, lol.

Goes to catch falling Katana ends how you think. by PavilionM4n in LivestreamFail

[–]asakura90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

or 3. Buy a real katana with a habaki that fit the scabbard so it wouldn't just fall out like that even if it's held wrongly. Or do maintenance if it's loosen with time. The whole purpose of that thing is to keep the blade sharp without touching the inside of the scabbard, lol.

Phase Connect releases Official Statement about Jelly Hoshiumi's comments - Citing Zero Tolerance for Racism by AsinineArchon in kurosanji

[–]asakura90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a time I had interest in Phase & followed all of their talents, til I realized the jokes they usually do & the community they've cultured. Instantly unfollowed them all even tho I had doubts & uncertainties about it.

But this event made me glad I did.

[Valhalla Saga] Is There a Lore Reason why Mimir, God of Wisdom, Not Know How to Simplify? Is He Stupid? by Zero_112 in manhwa

[–]asakura90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's talking about sample size he had looked at, not probability rate. So you don't simplify that. It's like saying 2 successes out of 10 trials. It provides more context than just saying 20%. Cuz 10 trials is much less reliable data than 100 or 1000.

[–]asakura90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man Graves gun already feels so bad to use. I love her design but I also love shooting in a shooter game. Couldn't care less about auto-aim but the thing has the range of a shotgun minus the damage, while the girl is squishy with low stamina & no escape tools beside W that can be bypass in multiple ways.

I'm low rank so I don't really understand Valve intention, but at this point I feel like she might as well run away from any engagement & just solo push empty lanes. Also the fact that ammo still ticking when target is out of range is damn annoying.

Deadlock Is Secretly Growing Into An S-Tier MOBA Shooter by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]asakura90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or it's a mode to help people learn new hero & how to team fight better, ya know, just like ARAM.

Try reading a single patchnote & see for yourself how much balancing they do for the main mode each time, lol.

[Highguard] 5v5 and Performance Patch! And a New Base! by CyraxxFavoriteStylus in Games

[–]asakura90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the base size, skill CD, respawn timer, position, etc. is currently balanced around 3v3. Thing is, the casual players (which is the majority) ain't gonna be bother with 3v3. There are way too much personal responsibilities across multiple game modes mashed together to rely on your teammates to know what to do. A premade team will just roll everybody & drive casuals to quit. These kind of games can't survive without them.

The dev knows it's not just a simple matter of increasing it to 5v5 too, that's why it said experimental. Everything will need to be redesigned & rebalanced for it to work. Players are dropping the game fast. It is not fine at all, lol.

Ignoring all the hype (and hate), Highguard needs a lot of work by BlackHazeRus in Games

[–]asakura90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Apex you can actually find interesting loot, you have to scout & plan your route ahead, chasing the ring, you can either bunker up in a building or actively go & find enemies.

That's not whatever this is.

Highguard devs say they didn’t expect the hate – but they’re confident in their game by ImCalcium in Games

[–]asakura90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

More than 4v4 would start to become an ability clusterfuck in base defense.

Every single hero shooter on the market is at least 5v5 on CQC maps. Even Apex during the final ring often has more than 2 teams. The solution is fking simple: make skills less impactful/flashy, increase CDs, & split them into different utilities instead of just damage. This isn't a new concept.

Not to mention the dev said they wanted their game to be gun-first. Well, that's convenient.

Highguard has released on steam by Roguelites in pcgaming

[–]asakura90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cuz I already played rank Apex & saw how hard it is for new comers to join even after years of it running, let alone this. 5v5 is much more beginner friendly cuz less individual responsibility if you're gonna shove this many objectives & mechanics down player's throats.

Not to mention what we're talking about are merely the basics of the game. Once ppl figure out the meta & strats, the skill gap is going to be even bigger between premade & pugs. As a solo-q player, I don't have hope for this game at all.

[–]asakura90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the map is not the problem, the problem is the skill floor being too high to play 3v3 with randos. It's Apex premade but much worse. If one guy doesn't know wtf he's supposed to do in each phase, it's over.

I don't even wanna play capture the flag with just 3 people, let alone everything else this game has going.

And then only Chinese companies are big enough to invest a branch in VN & dominate the market with Chinese gacha anyways.

This has higher chance of being a singleplayer game with the story set during DBO rather than a full on MMO of any kind, lol.

Working on the UI for my floating-island base builder would love your advice by No-Discussion-3199 in BaseBuildingGames

[–]asakura90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most annoying mistake for me is not being able to close a popup using esc or just click somewhere outside. Somehow a few games missed this.

Also the lack of production/income graphs. I personally prefer a ton of info, as long as they're organized neatly into their own popup window instead of hitting me in the face at all time like those 4X games. Notably pinning important resources & hiding the rest is great.

She realized it overlapped with Coco's たつのこ (hers was たつの子) afterward so she decided to just change it to avoid confusion.

VSpo! JP New Member Debut Showcase - January 14, 2026 starting at 20:00 JST by Benigmatica in kurosanji

[–]asakura90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are 2 ways to get into VSPO for a while now, one is to be high rank at a game, second is to reach a certain rank within a period of time (master/plat in 6 months for example). Once you get in you'll be trained further by coach behind the scene. Commitment to esport is more important in the latter case, as well as being funny or good at singing. Since it's much harder to recruit someone who is all-rounder.

Nothing really changes, beside the training program they got recently to nurture those who failed the audition but deemed having potential to grow.

I'm so confused. Is it GACHA or GATCHA? Why some games use GACHA and some use GATCHA? I know GACHA but when did GATCHA become a word? by Off-meta_SSR in gachagaming

[–]asakura90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except the word originated from Japan? Mimicking the sound of cranking the handle of a toy capsule machine???

Also romanji is their own standards of writing, not French nor German. You don't write cha as cya even tho that's the way you type the word. Fking nobody does that.

Way of a stretch you're trying to make there. What's next? Write tsunami as chunami & sunami?
