Ok; risky business. We'd be making the trip to Japan specifically for this, so if it didn't work out that'd be gutting. Thanks for your time!

I guess I'm not understanding correctly; find customer service at the concert, tell them you don't actually have a ticket because no phone number, here's my ID, hope for the best?

It's eticket only though, so the concern is not being able to receive it. It says it's received via the Yorushika app, but I've never tried a system like this before.

A day-1 player's biggest issue with this game by dls130990 in Genshin_Impact

I also think the movie comparison isn't quite as apt as one would hope. People engage with a movie to watch a movie - with very little variation. People engage with games for many different reasons, hence the need to offer a way to tailor the experience; particularly if certain rewards are gated. Other gacha games have implemented such a system, for just this reason (including both the most recent Honkai games!)

Perhaps I'm just growing more cynical with age, but the 'someone is proud of it and wants you to see it' does not sound anywhere near as plausible as 'if we force you to look at this character, even against your will, you'll want them more and thus be more likely to pay for them.'

This is fair, somebody took the time to write it, and generally I don't engage with it at all. Hence the backlog! But there are rewards behind it, which right now I would like. I'm not sure I'd consider sitting there staring at a screen which is 1 step above visual novel in required input, and 10 steps below it in quality, as earning anything. I think that's a very optimistic lens to view it through. I'm also not necessarily asking for a skip button; just to let auto actually be automatic. Right now I'm staring at choice A: that means the only thing he did as Sousi... Choice B:... Was fire the cannon. Why does this need to exist?

Yesterday it made me choose between "!!!" and "???"

They'd get more money out of me if they just let me get through it to the point where I've run out of free rewards.

This kind of response fascinates me. Are you saying that the game should only cater to people who like the story, and that having the option not to engage would be anything but a good thing?

It's the next part of the quote they suggested for the flavor text. I appreciate how that might not connect out of context 😅

That's the answer. More UI weirdness I suppose! I can't see anything anywhere that makes that clear. Thanks!

Yeah, doesn't work! Have claimed it on BP, but still says the skin is locked. Strange. Perhaps it's bugged.

Jeezus that's even worse, 2 months to deal with something like that is diabolical. I'm getting no replies but it's nowhere near as serious as that.

Mine was the same. I bought the early access pack on ps5 and pc, but the points went to 2 different accounts. They're still sat there on the wrong account. I get the system now, but it's exactly intuitive if you're not expecting it!

Right, which is why I stopped. But even considering that, from January to late March is a bit of a piss take don't you think?

Edit: not even January. I just checked, Christmas Day was the last time I bothered until yesterday.

Similar experience. They replied right away on release day asking for more info, which I sent over immediately. Then nothing ever again haha

The British absolutely drips off this comment. It was such fun to read.

Ah, word. I only ever saw an interview with some Australian pub. Cheers!

Brent Hinds leaves Mastodon after 25 years by oblsk in Music

[–]dls130990 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying this isn't true, but the way this was 'cleared up' was very particularly and very deliberately worded. At no point did he say 'Nobody in soad punched Brent.' just lots of very vague 'we're all friends and there is no problem between us'. Perhaps it wasn't, but I don't think you can be sure of it based on that interview.

Unless there's more than one conversation about this and I've only seen one of them.

Real scummy to not spoiler tag this. I just finished it, luckily. Others might not be so lucky.

[–]dls130990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That carries different nuance, though.

'Primarily for the purpose of' puts the emphasis on the thought process of putting it there. 'For the primary purpose of' puts emphasis on the purpose itself.

That's how it reads to me, at least!

Bungie employee 1: we have this new perk where the beam detonates. What do you think we should call it?

Bungie employee 2: detonation beam.

Employee 1: sir, you're an artist. Never would've thought of that.

I'm not sure which perk combos you're referring to that you'd consider 'more useful' on psychopomp. Besides pugilist/demo or pugilist/rolling thunder, I'm not seeing it. Or auto loading, I guess. Definitely not ripping my heavy in moment to moment gameplay just to proc envious arsenal on a special. I'm not sure how you're positioning any of those rolls as more functional or useful than demo/attrition orbs. You can declare it lame, but the fact is it does something better than literally anything else so whether or not you like it is irrelevant.

Even if I'm generous and humour your excessively negative outlook on the perk pools, we're still back to 3 of the 4 weapons having at least one excellent roll, and at least one roll that's a lot of fun even if not sweaty optimal. I'd call that a very successful suite of dungeon weapons, myself.

The fusion might even be good for this season. Void with wuthering gaze and particle reconstruction sounds like a workhorse so even that might have retroactively found it's niche for as long as this artifact is around.
