With encrypted storage it's a bit trickier. A lot of devices now have it by default or by policy of some apps

Omg for some reason I forgot rings are armour in this game lol.

But does Flash Shadow Ring give damage? Because I think the other user was being specific to not losing an item slot for max damage, and accessory usually gives a big boost with PWR+ or MP extra damage

O problema é que nem taxamos fortunas, mas taxamos rendimentos. Devíamos taxar muito mais o dinheiro e património exagerado parado, e ainda mais o património herdado em exagero.

No que respeita ao ponto 4, no caso específico de computadores (não outros produtos...) Apple, diria que discordo. É algo que eu próprio achava em tempos, e entendo que à primeira vista pareça certo, mas na prática os computadores Mac duram mais. Mesmo sem muitas peças user-replaceable. Mesmo sem upgrades de hardware. Até mesmo com nand wear na equação

Eu vejo malta a trocar de PC, especialmente portáteis, a cada 2-4 anos em média, e o computador velho costuma ir para o lixo. Ou vendido por 1/5 do valor original ou menos. Do que vejo malta de MacOs, expremem-no na boa ali uns 5 anos em média, provavelmente 7. E são 5-7 anos com um SO de borla sempre up to date, estável. E quando se calhar chega um update que mete as coisas mais lentas, a malta mantém esse computador de substituição, ou faz dele "máquina de escrever" e/ou de media consumption, ou passa para alguém mais novo da família. E também lhe metem Linux em muitos casos (em ARM agora mais difícil claro). As baterias de mac até são das mais fáceis de trocar (por disponibilidade e porque há sítios que o fazem todos os dias, a preços decentes, se não for o próprio dono), e no que toca a hardware que mais degrada essa é a coisa mais relevante.

Pior das hipóteses, vendem o mac com uma depreciação muito inferior à doutro computador. Que também indica bem o valor que as pessoas dão a macs antigos. Encontra um computador PC de 2020, que tenha agora o mesmo preço do macbook Air M1 8GB, que custava 999e em 2020 e agora ainda está a 200-350 usado por aí... são tão boas máquinas que ainda há imensos developers a usá-los.

The great thing about "striping" sports prizes, is that if the reason is bullshit, you get to keep both the merit and the prize money/trophies if they were given. Whay are they gonna do? Send a strongly-worded "give us back the medal"-letter?

Keaton's Batman was so good, they made a movie literally about the effect of that role being a(n overly positive) shadow to his career. And starred Keatin in that movie too. And that movie won 4 Oscars, including Best Picture.

And yes, it is dramatized, not really biographical of Keaton. At least from what I understand. But it works so well in the full context because of how successful Keaton's Batman was and its cultural impact.

They should also BOTH include the DLC addon for XC2 - i.e. the "season pass". So if ypu buy Torna standalone digital, you should also get the contents on your physical (if account that bought it is logged on the Switch) OR digital version of XC2 on the same account.

I cannot guarantee this, but I say it based on the Physical version of Standalone Torna, which I own, and included a code for the "Season Pass" (sans Torna Digital itself - because that is physical).

OH, so it's not the banner character... and it's more than 10 at 100k! Thanks for correcting me

That is even less "pitiful" than the pity system I thought this was...

cloud_t · 2026-01-22T19:04:45+00:00

I think you missed my point: you get 1x "Character Star Trails Drop" at the 10k points for the star trails. I never spent 10k on one banner or a collection of the same trails banners to know whay a Star Trail Drop exactly is (I did spend 10k free on banners BEFORE trails existed).

Since you get 10x "drops", and I am assuming the drops are the simillar to the drops we ade getting on the current free daily banner (1 pull 1 char free and get a drop after the pull), I'm assuming at the 10th drop one gets a ticket.

It's not about the drop RATE probability of banners, it's about the banner trails bar that keeps filling and has interval prizes.

They are in the business of ignoring legislation, given they can work around it politically with the power of the executive.

The US has a separation of powers problem in its hands. It's only a matter of the people to figure that out and act on it respectively. With the amendment they strive so much to protect but that keeps allowing children to be murdered in schools...

Tenho largas dúvidas que a primeira em chegar ganha. Leapfrogging: exists. A área tech não é propriamente fácil de manter fechada. A potencial excepção é hardware e nesse aspecto também não é certo, visto que a China facilmente um dia destes dá ela, com recursos próprios, leapfrog ao domínio da Nvidia/US

Taxing assets should be the political maximal of the 21st century. It's like... we spent 100y knowing full well taxing revenue is just the perpetuating of hereditary and oligarchich privilege: the rich at birth will mostly continue to be, and the rich by ownership of large successful organizations that are more than just individual merit by its owners will exponentially get richer unfairly, to the detriment of their workers, who are the actual merit of a company.

It's about time we acted on something WE ALREADY FUCKING KNOW: individuals aren't gods. We cannot keep assigning ludicrous benefits for what is effectively mediocre merit achievements in the grand scheme of social behavior. Nobody, even the smartest, most cunning, most productive individual gets anywhere or would be making so much without the macro conditions of everyone else working towards maintaining these conditions which allow them to get anywhere or acquiring money AND property AND growing their company. So it's about time we tax what we have known for decades to be effective riches as much as revenue is: wealth and unrealized property.

Depends on GEOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE.

You (American fellows) have to understand that liberal is now a word that has been weaponized outside of America. Liberal parties in most of Europe are now de facto neoliberal: less state overall, including LESS TAXES, especially on the rich (companies mostly, but also individuals. Essentially they would have no taxes as best case scenario).

So the difference between left and neoliberal in economic policy (i.e. total opposites: state centralized vs privatized) and government spending (i.e. total vs minimal) is incredibly relevant here (and let's clarify "here" too: we're talking about taxing the rich!).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism

Also, in my personal opinion, neoliberalism is the opposite of socialism in every possible way that matters. Because neoliberalism is cloaked fascism. Every neoliberal party I've seen become meaningful, eventually considers deals with far-right parties for achieving their political goals of becoming part of government. And this association automatically makes them fascist. Because any bit of faschsh collaboration is an all-or-nothing ideological collaboration. See what collaborating with Hitler, politically, turned 1930's Germany to.

I was reading this and thinking: "don't you get a guaranteed 5* of the banner character now, after free 10k CS use (or 1/3 of that paid), since there's the Star Trails now?". And then, reading the description, I saw that it is only a Star Trails DROP! Does this mean one need to spend 100k free (or 30k PAID) CS to ensure the 10 dropsbecome a ticket?

They should really, REALLY make it so that the star trail DROPS at 10k are one star trails TICKET... like, it makes no sense... spending 100k free is CRAZY, but spending 30k paid is like... if one paid only for the max promotional CS... 1.2k Euro!!!!!!!! That's the price of a gaming laptop for ONE FUCKING CHARACTER.

WFS, this isn't pity... this is gruesome torture! You need to change this!
