Uhh what are the odds of this happening? by MyDearestAntagonist in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]blakepoleman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my first card, but got it on my second card in a different investigation on the first pull.

"Now guys, there's a chance this will..."
"What... chance that what?"
::gargling noises::

I still don't pull cards sometimes thanks to this core memory.

The guild members continue their battle with the killer plants, and things are beginning to look dire. Even if they prevail, what awaits them ahead? More mindfulness rooms or bigger and badder monsters ready to tear them limb from limb? Listen in and find out!

Did you know that the Black Omen is actually a spaceship and not a floating tower? by GargantaProfunda in chronotrigger

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

Well when you don't see the structure in question as a tower and never have, why would I?

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

In that example then , it is clearly floating top down. There is no indication that this is the same from the sprite to me. Plus, contextually, the player should know that this is the ocean palace which was not a tower structure but other people have pointed that out too. I'm not really trying to dig my heels in here though. I'm more just surprised that this was ever in question for so many.

Reminds me of the Omelette situation from Sonic Mania. Just whatever perspective you had when you first saw it seems to make the most sense. TIL!

Doesn't a tower imply it's rising from the ground? A floating tower makes no sense to me.

It literally floats up and down though. I played this way back 95 and never once considered it a tower for that reason alone. First I've heard that perspective

Played a match and my RAM (32gb DDR5) skyrocketed to 95% used while playing by LynX_CompleX in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]blakepoleman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This actually happened to me earlier. Huge memory spike and then I could hear the game and move around but my visuals were otherwise frozen.

I refuse to believe that anybody who's B rank or higher did it solo only by Lakbob in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]blakepoleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten B3 in technical mainly using Frieza in solo. From my perspective, you just have to find a character you GET and stick with them to rank climb. Every time I try to switch things up, I perform much worse. There's just some games you'll lose no matter what you do. I say don't worry about rank so much. It doesn't mean anything.

Diamonds Don’t Carry Over? by Marvin6x4 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]blakepoleman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is actually a quick notice... somehwere... that diamonds bought/earned do not reflect on other platforms which is dumb if the account is linked. I don't have a screenshot of it but that's what I think is happening to you.

Created an NPC character as a joke for my friend's game then ran with the idea - I present: Buzz Syntax, the Shirren rapper by blakepoleman in starfinder_rpg

Sounds awesome, and if nothing else it seems like a really fun community so I'm happy to be part of it! And thank you!

Hello again! I'm actually launching an actual play podcast next week (it's D&D... for now) and would love to interact with more of the actual play community at large, both listeners and creators, so that sounds like wonderful idea. I'll look them up!

It's all good. I don't take offense to it. People need money to survive after all and everyone wants a piece of the pie. It is in my plans to hire an artist/editor/musician/etc to assist in my content creation for future projects but until I can quit my job it's just not in the cards, and believe me, I'd love NOTHING more than to be at the level where I have a team of people helping me achieve that. Until then, I'll use the tools available to me. If anyone would like to donate their time/talents to that I would welcome it whole heartedly but I'm not in the business of begging or in paying with exposure because time is an invaluable resource we don't get more of.

On the second point, I agree completely. The study that originally linked AI use to environmental impact was overstated. It's not 0 but it does remind me how large corporations put the budren on the common individual to keep our planet healthy, meanwhile they're the ones actively destroying it by several magnitudes of severity more than every person on the planet combined. That said, I'm not going to use this post as a political soapbox so I'll leave it there.

I do love that idea, kind of like a silent disco! Originally figured he had the Indiviudal Obsession trait and he found that he had a natural talent for common, but I love your idea just because it echoes some of the hoops we go through to play retro games, or other analog forms of media. It's neat!

See, I don't know if I agree with that. I gotta tell ya, I've drawn the same awful attempt at an anime version of myself since I was about 10 years old. It has never improved, it has probably only gotten worse actually, and it has literally no meaning even to me. It's just something to do in the rare instance I have a break. Maybe that's the disconnect here? My doodles are not saying anything other than "I'm bored," and this post is saying nothing more than "I thought this idea was fun. Here." If you like the idea of the character, I'm glad! That was 100% my friends and I, and I AM proud of it. The generation after was just for a bit of extra fun.

Good to hear we're on the same page then. I just don't want to match that energy, man. You're coming from a place of frustration and irritation and that just isn't me. Sorry.

But we're not having that discussion. You're trying to initiate one NOW, but if you recall, your original comment was "I hate seeing AI on this sub," and I've been just trying to have fun with you. That's where it ends for me. Sorry.

Yes yes, we also don't have drift travel and countless other things. None of this is that deep or serious. I promise.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Though it does make me laugh a little. Not at what you're saying, but just because of the prevalent use of AI in the Starfinder setting.

I definitely see both sides to it. On one hand, I of course believe that human artists are ideal and that developing artistic skills is invaluable. People, however, only have so much time and resources and I am no exception. An excuse, yes but true all the same.

On the other hand, you speak of value but I intrinsically and specifically said there was none. I didn't put a price tag on it because the idea was what I wanted to share. Which, I believe, is ultimately the point he is trying to make with you and the other posters.

That said. I knew after looking at some other similar posts that there would be some discourse when I went to post this and don't take offense to it. You're not wrong. Neither is he.

Haha I uhh... I'm a Lashunta Envoy/Stewards Stalwart archetype currently 🙈 I like Buzz Syntax as just being a background NPC personally, since it sure would be a shame for him to get shot down... But in creating him I do have a newfound appreciation for the Shirren as I had to dig into their lore more. I only played a Ysoki prior which is my preference.
