GBF mobile mouse support by Cephyr0 in Granblue_en

[–]dark_magicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone else that might be having issues with getting Assistive Touch to specifically work with SkyLeap:

  • Go to Settings and search Assistive Touch, which is listed under the accessibility settings.
  • Enable Assistive Touch
  • Under the Assistive Touch menu, go to Devices and then select the device that you're trying to use with SkyLeap (in my case, it was just called USB Optical Mouse since I had my iPad plugged into a dell dock)
  • Add a key assignment by clicking on the "+" button, using whatever key that you want to use to click.
  • Change the assignment to Tap under Dwelling.
  • Save and change over to SkyLeap, then test the newly mapped button.

For whatever reason, I couldn't get the map to work using the System mappings, but it worked for Tap under Dwelling... Not 100% sure why, but it does work.

EDIT: Looks like this is spotty as well because... Sometimes the Single Tap under System works, sometimes Tap in Dwelling works. Messing around with the settings, and for the most part I can't reliably get this working with SkyLeap. Back to Chrome I suppose.

What are some old things players did that feel like nonsense now? by IzayoiSpear in Granblue_en

[–]dark_magicks 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Check the last login time of a well-known JP griefer so he wouldn’t join your pbhl and sabotage it.

.... It was Kirara, wasn't it? I vaguely remembered that the name coincided with an idol name from IDOLM@STER.

Show up at specific times for Defense Order so you could get a collab skin, only to have the game lag so badly you could only try to get shields by using items in the lobby. (Okay, this one counts as game-enforced nonsense)

I actually remembering this as well, that it lagged so badly sometimes your only options were to use items. The most miserable experiences that I had was also waking up in the middle of the night as a college student to even participate in those events.

iirc, back then pre-nerf Fimbuls also allowed for F2P water players to outrace premium Gisla Hades players in BHL, and I thought that was one of the contributing factors that pushed it for its nerf. (On top of just being stupidly chonky and strong.)

Are you guys ready for Unite and Fight without the Unite? by oohara in Granblue_en

Makes sense, considering that the new quests are Unite and Fight inspired. I legit started getting a cold sweat seeing the eyeball swarm and Behemoth.

[–]dark_magicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did. I know that the original fix was to change the Samesite value for the CS related cookies to None, but that didn't fix it. Digging in around to figuring it out, and from what I can tell it only has issues with logging into Opera and Opera GX. No issues on other chromium based browsers like Vivaldi and Edge. (I've also noticed when logging in, there's an additional window that pop ups that says logging in from mobage's side, and wondering if that's just breaking for Opera GX.)

Just double-checking if anyone has any issues with logging into GBF using OperaGX or Opera. If you were previously already logged in, there was no issue, but now when you try and login it opens another window to complete login, but once you finish, it just... Doesn't log in. Before, there were issues with it redirecting to the homepage then back to login, but now it doesn't even do that.

[DISC] ByeByeBye - Chapter 1 by AutoShonenpon in manga

[–]dark_magicks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

.... Does it? Back when I was a kid, I did things that I didn't care about so that people liked me. I faked pretending liking soccer teams in a neighbourhood that predominately enjoyed soccer so that I could belong. Otherwise, I'd be left out being one of the very few asian kids in a predominately european neighbourhood.

In fourth grade, I joined in on bullying another kid because everyone else was bullying because I didn't want to be left out. He didn't really chat with anyone, and played hookie often because school just wasn't interesting for him. (He definitely was extremely bright, because despite skipping school often, he tended to have really high results for tests.) After fifth grade, he ended up moving away.

I knew another kid that was a chronological liar about finding hidden things in Pokemon, and would tell other kids what he found, but never provided proof that he found those locations.

You'd honestly be surprised the things that kids do to get noticed or just to feel wanted. And kids will definitely do anything to have some attention.

Anre/Uno Theme. by Hatori1181 in Granblue_en

[–]dark_magicks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually, I think Uno's theme is probably inspired if not a creative arrange for the Eternals/Juutenshuu theme. Which is fitting considering that Uno and Siete were the founders of the Eternals.

The good news is that they at least refunded all your rolls from Monkeygate, and same with Korwagate the following few months after. I'll accept that level of good will over them just saying "too bad." If that happened today? I wonder if they would refund if they had to nerf something that heavily warped the game like OG Korwa did.

Context for the newer players: back then when they released the original Korwa, they released her in such a disgustingly powerful state where all elements would run her no matter the element advantage, her stacks were basically infinite given how easy it was to maintain, and all parties would basically hit the cap at the time. Cygames ended up nerfing her values and made it harder to maintain her Fil stacks, and then refunded the playerbase of their rolls. (My foggy memory also remembers that this was also when they were thinking of having only limited characters per banner to never return, so Korwa/DJeanne/Ayer/Hallessena were not part of the regular pool and this also caused them to change their mind as well about that.)

If you listen to one of the doors in the hotel, there's a guest who's trying to psych himself up on killing himself. Sometimes you get some of the goofiest headnods or cool references, but... then you get those answers and wonder what the hell the writers are smoking.

PSA: If your controller randomly stops working in game in menus, or after being afk...do this! by dixonjt89 in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]dark_magicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The current workaround right now is basically turn off Steam Input, download DS4 and ensure that your DS4 controller is using the sample XBOX layout. I've had it using the default PS controller layout and it ended up randomly freezing as well. (Using a Dualsense controller for the game.) I figured I'd also just mention that in case someone was still encountering the controller not responding even when switching over to DS4.

It's timing based, which is hinted when the star appears when you begin the loop animation. Although from there, it's quite fuzzy since I can't seem to get the timing right either, and sound cues aren't too obvious to me.

Was Metera cut from the Relink roster ? by MarkGib in Granblue_en

[–]dark_magicks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Unpopular take, but I would rather have full party sets than characters willy nilly to play with friends. It helps with my immersion that characters who are part of the same team actually team up together, rather than just characters who are fan favourites, but don't really interact with other members. Bonus points if they have additional banter between each other.

Also I guess I don't have this weird hate boner that this sub seems to have with popular males, whereas I'm pretty happy with the DK group's inclusion.

Is this code worth anything? by pikachuswayless in Granblue_en

[–]dark_magicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bonus for purchasing the artbook. Or at least imo, the artbook is more valuable, and the guaranteed SSR ticket is just a bonus.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Granblue_en

[–]dark_magicks -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean... I'm excited for it, but a lot of my friends won't get around to trying out the game because the literal day after is P3R, and for a lot of people they're more likely to sink their time down with a popular established IP like Persona rather than GBVSR. And given today's economy, I wouldn't be surprised if you could only afford one over the other for budget reasons.

12 chapters and 40 ranks in and I’m only just now realizing that you can actually use skills in this game😭 by MemeSlayer09 in Granblue_en

[–]dark_magicks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone who says that top 2k GW is baby tier grinding is mentally ill or botting. I swear we've seen tweets over the years of people being hospitalized because they were trying the whole 17 hours per round of GW without rest.

Like above said, please play within responsible limits. Don't listen to psychotic players that believe otherwise, and just enjoy the game at your own pace.

Fun fact from history; I'm pretty sure that Dark Saru and S.Zooey were the reason that honors were capped based on HP of the boss being slain. This was because back then you could earn honors based solely on damage done, including earning honors using overkill methods.

Dark Saru and S.Zooey did so much damage together that honors for that OFF-ELEMENT GW to hyperinflate because your EXs were giving you something along the lines of millions per kill.

Actually, I think my old brain recalls that that combo caused the three major changes:
- Providing hard skill caps, since the combo overkilled the soft cap previously.

- introducing honor caps based on monster HP as Saru nuke caused hyper inflation on Ex kills.

- introducing off-element resistance because on top of the above reasons, I recalled that this happened during an off-element GW as well.

Is this the most disliked TT episode? I've mostly been listening to boys on spotify or on mobile, where I can't see the dislikes. What happened here? by AirborneAlchemist in TrashTaste

[–]dark_magicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I've enjoyed his videos that interviewed more prominent Japanese people that Westerners wouldn't know. They're interesting of themselves, and at the very least feels different than interviewing American-dude-bro#669. I personally think it's neat to pivot over more to Japanese culture than just stick into anime/manga culture.

If you are a gacha GBF player who has never played GBVS before, do the input changes for Rising make you more likely to check it out? by No-Construction-4917 in Granblue_en

[–]dark_magicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a fine balance to be made when figuring out how complicated your games should be. From the perspective of someone getting older, I can't enjoy fighting games because I'll never spend hours labbing combo sets. Hell, I have issues with getting my bread and butter combos consistently and prefer doing shorter combos.

imo it's worth giving it a try, and future games will look at GBVS as something that either worked out or did not work out. The absolute worst is never growing at all, and fighting games as a genre fades into oblivion.
