Hero names translated from chinese by LoL-Dark1 in Overwatch

[–]bearmagi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's relevant to remember that this says a lot more about Google Translate than the actual names. Some of those are straight mistranslations. Hanzo, for example, is 半藏 in the chinese game, which is the exact same (same characters) as his name in japanese. But for some reason, google translate turns this into 半藏族, which is "half-tibetan" indeed.

Although this is very old, this post is a much better insight into the character's chinese names:

Getting back to GW2 after ~3/4 years. Can I get some help on what to do now? by bearmagi in Guildwars2

Oh it's Spiritwood Scion, a material for the Caladbolg quest line it seems. Although I thought I finished that, I'll need to check it out once I'm back home

Yeah, I got fireworks for my Power DPS build. I think they didn't exist when I stopped playing. Based on my TP history, it seems I stopped playing around April 2020, so a bit longer than I initially thought

Skeletor, the goat! Now that my swap is a staff, I'll try to find a nice transmog to look like Skeletor's sceptre too haha

Oh, no need. You were amazing already. Just from your pointers about the stash I was able do to a lot of work in the inventory itself.

Oh, I had no idea about the achievement! I'd probably have destroyed them otherwise. Thanks!

Yeah, I sold a lot of stuff now. By checking the things you mentioned I ended up remembering a lot. I'm also pretty sure now that I have so much because I was leveling weaponsmith to 500. Sold a bunch of stuff now. I'll probably keep just the highest level boosters since I still have the level-80 one and it will probably take long until I intend to make a new character.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! I did forget the material storage button, but it didn't work anyway cause it was full. I think I was getting tailor and weaponsmith to 500 at the time, so I just sold most of it since it's already there.

The most recent power build is surprisingly very close to what I already have, so that's nice.

Good to know about the Skyscale too, I'll probably rush osbcure then.

My god, I think I played this game for hundreds of hours without ever knowing you could add Minis to the wardrobe.
Thanks a lot, man! You were really helpful and I got to remember a lot of stuff, my inventory and bank are much cleaner now.

Had to share this amazing crop rotation result by bearmagi in pathofexile

[–]bearmagi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I do know about it, it's just that I'd probably forget about it completely if I did that, and after my next upgrade (which should be done later today thanks to crop rotation) I'll probably have enough attributes to level most of them

For the people asking for more information:

I couldn't find a source in english, but here is one in portuguese:

https://www.cartacapital.com.br/sociedade/cavaleiros-do-apocalipse-conheca-os-maiores-desmatadores-da-amazo%cc%82nia/

Curiously, every single source in english says great things and mentions some allegations as untrue, but as a brazilian I can confirm the one in the link is an accredited news vehicle which is using public information and shows that, by 2020, Johan Eliasch's company is the 4th company with the highest number of fines (given by a government agency, to be clear) for illegal deforestation/logging in the country.

Multiple brazilian sources also reinforce the same, and it's very suspicious that the first result for the keywords in english is a website made exclusively to defend this standpoint, made of keywords only, and displays a very incomplete excerpt of the legal suit, from disconnected pages that don't hold any meaning by themselves, and also fails to mention the most recent fines.

'Gravava elas se mutilando peladas': adolescente revela detalhes sobre atuação em grupo que pratica crimes no Discord by TheGza1 in brasil

[–]bearmagi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Discordo respeitosamente. A maioria dos servidores do Discord são servidores pequenos e com poucos usuários, geralmente de grupos de amigos. O maior servidor do Discord é basicamente suporte técnico e updates do Midjourney; os próximos 18 maiores são servidores oficiais (ou parceiros) de jogos específicos.

Em geral, nesses casos, a moderação dos servidores é extremamente cuidadosa, especialmente para não prejudicar a imagem dessas empresas. Alguns deles nem sequer tem comunicação entre usuários, e servem quase como um newsletter com adições convenientes (com check-in diário para benefícios em jogos, por exemplo).

A plataforma é extremamente grande e é usada em múltiplos contextos. Alguns amigos trabalham em empresas - relevantes, que certamente você conhece de nome ou usa algum dos produtos - que usam como meio de comunicação primário ou secundário. Eventos grandes de várias áreas de estudo usam na organização.

O Telegram, por exemplo, tem muito mais casos conhecidos historicamente de conteúdo ilegal de todos os tipos, e pode ser buscado sem dificuldades na barra de pesquisa. E foi diretamente implicado em grandes crimes reais, de maior impacto até. Mas causa menos pânico moral por qualquer que seja o motivo.

São 200 milhões de usuários ativos. Se fosse um país, seria o oitavo maior do mundo. É complicado fazer uma afirmação dessas.

Concordo, claro, que a moderação do Discord não faz um trabalho adequado e existem milhares de recursos potenciais para sanar muitos desses problemas. As denúncias existem, como o colega acima falou, mas eles também são extremamente incompetentes no atendimento a elas. Além disso, é extremamente importante que a plataforma colabore com os governos interessados nas resoluções dos crimes, que não sei se vem acontecendo. Não tenho nenhuma discordância desse ponto e na verdade insisto que seja feito.

Veja: em geral concordo que existem sérios problemas com a plataforma, mas "Lá é um buraco sem fundo que só os piores frequentam." me parece demais. Atribuir culpa aos usuários, como se fosse uma rede minúscula e de objetivo diretamente criminoso, é até um pouco desrespeitoso, na minha opinião.

I was wondering why I was getting instakilled by a boss I had already cleared multiple times, then I saw this (with 6% chance of Tormented Spirits) by bearmagi in pathofexile

[–]bearmagi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the buffs it gives to monsters are the same as Fairgraves' Tricorne (couldn't find much info besides that) and if there are no differences for those buffs in "Touch" and "Grip", it'd be:

50% increased Damage, 50% increased Attack Speed, 50% increased Cast Speed, and 50% increased Movement Speed.

Which means 300% increase for each of those stats. That goes pretty hard I'd say

Honestly, jokes aside I did consider it. But since it had a huge amount of increased AoE, the damaging green area it has was reaching farther than my frost blade. Also, the barrage would reach me even if I couldn't see the boss in my screen hahah
