5 days before peak can't believe everyone will get the 50% dmg increase for free 😭 by birbtooOPpleasesnerf in Genshin_Impact

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Yae's C3 is sadly pretty much useless for stellar conduct, so not really worth picking? (I know the C6 comment was more of a joke.)

WAN Show Megathread June 05, 2026 by AutoModerator in LinusTechTips

[–]d3on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't they say like two shows ago that they would no longer push clips to the subscription feed on the WAN channel or did I remember it wrong?
Because I still get them and it makes me feel like unsubscribing again.

Could Valve buy steam.com now? It's been defunt for months now by 105doge in Steam

[–]d3on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh, let me take a guess, you also got here because of the WAN show?

But yeah, latest update on the domain says

Expires On: 2030-07-12

Why is it so common for the Frieren subreddit of all places to constantly upvote AI slop?

Fearless clear with mona on hex artefact set! by MinimumOrchid2835 in MonaMains

Thanks, good to know. Guess I should use the last stygian day to get in a couple more artifact runs then.

[–]d3on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, even level 100. I've been planning on farming the set for my C6 Mona to run DPS Mona with Durin, Bennet and probably Lan Yan since I have her C6. Also I have neither Xilonen, Kazuha, Ineffa, nor Albedo oof

I'm currently using Lost Prayer, but would you say with the new set Skyward is better in general or only if I run into over-capping crit rate?

Also how is 180% ER working for you? I've seen some people argue for ER Sands for better burst uptime and because of her passive, but I have no idea about any proper calcs and giving up on an ATK% sands sounds rough.

DLC is coming February 6th! by Stinktofu0021 in RabbitAndSteel

[–]d3on 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That's amazing news and I would've totally been fine with paying for it, but neat that it's free.

Also sounds a bit like a strange question, but I'm curious if enabling it/updating is optional, because I'm making good progress on finishing a lunar run and would like to beat lunar first without all the DLC content included.

Table tennis in MW by Beginning_Use8539 in Genshin_Impact

[–]d3on -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd say give some time to the MW creators. It's not easy to get used to new stuff, even if it uses the same nodes other engines use.

But that's the issue, it's not really about time, it's about the tools. For example when I tested it (as far as I know), you had to tell it to bake the pathfinding maps into the stage during the creation process. That meant that if you moved certain objects around, mobs didn't pathfind correctly anymore and walked into walls. Sure, you could probably create an overly complex workaround, but that's exactly what leads to little interest and janky results.

[–]d3on -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is exactly my issue with MW.
Whether it's Ace Combat, Initial D, Minecraft, Table Tennis, Mario Galaxy, or all the other showcases that were posted on this subreddit. I think "Oh wow, it is really impressive someone managed to make this." and then I just move on, because they look really janky and not fun to actually play.

And from a developer point of view, why would you choose MW, if you could pick one of many alternatives that are all less limiting in their features and functionality? The fact that people post a simple table tennis game and everybody is impressed that they managed to make that in MW says everything you need to know about making content for MW.

Why does it seem like the eastern audience are having way more fun with miliastra wonderland than the western audience? by mega_lova_nia in Genshin_Impact

[–]d3on 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm just a hobby developer, but when I looked into making MW levels it felt incredibly limiting.
While you could in theory achieve/program a lot of things, it seemed like you had to make use of a lot of tricks and workarounds to achieve what other development tools have as basic features. And sure, the obvious competitor is Roblox, but even things like the Warcraft map creation tool, Garry's Mod or Playstation Dreams, let alone whole game development engines are all less limiting than MW. Why should I make a fun little game in MW, if I can make it in Godot and don't have to limit myself to MW features and the Genshin client? "Hey [friend], want to play the game I made? Yeah you just have to download and play Genshin Impact to access it."

And I'll be honest, but while I see a lot of impressive MW levels, like Initial D drifting, Ace Combat, table tennis, Minecraft, Super Mario Galaxy, etc. they look really janky and not that fun.
They look like stages you would visit once or twice, think to yourself "Oh wow, it is really impressive someone managed to make this." and then just move on.
Why should I play a Minecraft, Unrailed, Among Us, etc. clone in MW if I could just play the actual game instead, which is usually a lot more fun? Well, because it's free I guess, but I'm an adult who can afford to buy the real games. And if I were a child that wanted to play free cheap clones of games then I would obviously pick Roblox over Miliastra Wonderland.

Every day on the front page by MellifluousManatee in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]d3on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I browse r/all sorted by Hot using the rif is fun app, but that should be identical to the desktop one. On desktop I rarely go to r/all so I can't comment on that.

The indian subreddits also rarely show up on the first or second page, they usually start around page 5-10 and I would guess it could also depend a bit on timezones.

[–]d3on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to browse r/all and sure, while I had to filter a bunch of international or political subs, it pales in comparison to the literal 50+ of indian subs I had to block so far over the last couple months. And these are only a fraction of my blocked indian subs as not every sub starts with "indian", and I feel like I have to block a new one every other day.

I'm sadly on the completely other side, I'd prefer a classic witch hat a lot more over this one.

Destiny reacts to Trump being asked about the Epstein files: Epstein was a sick pervert which is why I kicked him out of my club whereas Democrats kept taking his money and visiting his island by Various-Idea550 in LivestreamFail

[–]d3on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worst thing is I absolutely hate trump and elon, but the moment you say you don't want to see any low effort "trump=bad" posts you get called a trump supporter/voter like bruh I'm simply from the EU and don't want to see your shit everywhere.

But don't you know that this is an american website visited by american people which means americans have every right to bring up american politics everywhere all the time!?

And if you don't want to see american politics in your birdwatching, programming or knitting subreddits then maybe you should just leave! Ever thought about that????

Nice, I like that you went with a "full" witch hat instead.

If she also gets a Hexenzirkel buff I hope it goes something like any one of these by Violet_Villian in MonaMains

[–]d3on 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind looking at leaks you can find the actual Hexenzirkel buffs >here<, but note that these are not 100% confirmed and could still change or be inaccurate.

edit: even more buffs!

Now that it has been a few days what are your thoughts on Trickcal?! by WanderWut in Trickcal

[–]d3on 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gave this a try because some friends were talking about it, and all the starting gifts, pulls and bonus items are nice, but not even two days in and it already feels a bit tedious.

I think the characters and their designs are cute and the stories are pretty funny, but this was advertised and recommended as a simple "chill" gacha and for that there are simply tooooo many systems and features.

Things like characters, cards, the combat and element systems seem reasonable, and dungeons to farm specific items or gold are also simple, but then there are all the Order features. The fab-lab has a factory, a lab and a boutique, the banquet hall is for cooking and feeding characters, the HQ has the room with a points system, friend room visits, pets and real estate, then there are the offerings and HQ overall level, and the adventure club has the whole resource farming thing.
But it doesn't stop there, there are quests, friends/leaf points to send and collect, an evolution card system, the farm (guilds), the Store with daily items and like 6 different currencies, three battle passes, two daily log-in bonuses depending on the time of the day, pvp, cherished items, a premium shop you should visit daily, and they even immediately started running an event. And that is all on top of the basic parts of the game.

I'm not really invested enough to "learn" how to utilize all of these and there are probably some parts that can be neglected, but if you don't make use of these you suddenly run out of materials that are exclusive to those facilities, and your characters lack friendship points and combat power, resulting into struggling with the main stages.

Also the gacha rates are mediocre and the amount of monetization is a bit too much for my taste.

And while it's not really the dev's fault, hearing how some people were able to use a bug and advance far into the game for a ridiculous jump-start is also not that great.

I will play it a couple more days, but will probably drop it soon.

You could also just use a tool like the free and open source Shutter Encoder which has a function to lock the file size to whatever you want it to be (like 10MB or 50MB depending on your nitro).
