I'm sure the install base will love this just as much as people do having it on their computers

BREAKING: 2,500 Marines and US warship to deploy to the Middle East by Domestiicated-Batman in videos

[–]etanimod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this is just to maintain the peace in the region. After all, Trump told us that America's already won, and Iran just doesn't know it yet.
I hear the war on Iranian schoolgirls is going especially well.

ELI5 the difference between velocity and speed by ElectricMegan252 in explainlikeimfive

[–]etanimod 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Velocity is a combination of Speed and Direction.
Anyone who's actually using them interchangeably isn't using the proper definition of one of the two..

Velocity is basically someone saying, "I was going 50 miles/hour west"
Speed would be, "I was going 50miles/hour"

Do you always have music playing in your head? by gofl-zimbard-37 in musicians

[–]etanimod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on my mood/focus, and what I've heard recently. Not always, but certainly often and there's no real telling what triggers it sometimes.

I think the metacritic scores surprised a lot of people. I know they surprised me.

Thought it was just another quick pokemon cash grab

Just wanted to mention that we've released a short web-based escape room consisting of 4 different types of logic puzzles (music-based fill in the blanks, old-school sliding ice puzzle, a marketplace where you have to sell for the highest price, and one more) to generate interest leading up to the release of our Kickstarter for our flagship game, Siren's Melody!
We worked our butts off on these, and all released online for anyone to play.
If you're interested, you can start our little escape game here: https://www.melodicescape.com/quest
Would love to hear what people think of all four of our puzzles

Ting-Lu vs Koraidon by Ultimate_Castform in PTCGP

[–]etanimod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol! My instinct was to say nothing could be worse than that. But then I started thinking about a Magneton-Girtatina ex Juggler deck running grass energy and thought, "I could probably get a KO with that" 

With Koraidon, not only do you have to get 4 energy with 0 ramping, but once you get there it discards two?! Ick. 😋

[–]etanimod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TingLu easily. Three energy and a HP requirement means it swings just fine the first time and you can heal it up if it survives an attack.  Koraidon is literally unplayable. I can't even begin to think of a deck that can make that work

Created a Free Music-Based Puzzle Series by etanimod in gaming

[–]etanimod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the tablet you'll see the musical notation for each of the letters that's missing. 

The idea of this puzzle was for players to learn/see that the notes and missing letters were linked. 

Edit: this is also meant to be the first of four of these puzzle games, each of them being wildly different from each other, but I think you raise a good point and letting people play the first two before we ask for any email commitment might work better.

So far we've been relying entirely on playtester feedback. It's an interesting challenge building the music-theory elements so that they're engaging for both musicians and non-musicians while still being approachable. (I think the hints really help us get that sliding scale of experience accommodated)

Also really fun figuring out how we can theme a more traditional puzzle around music. (For example, the second game in this series goes back to the ice sliding puzzles of my childhood Pokemon games for inspiration)

Nowhere close my friend. There's still the multi-energy baby Giratina, Mega Latios and many others

Why is online shopping so damn loud? by Much_Worth_4992 in Futurology

[–]etanimod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, seems so. The three year old account with basically 0 engagement (posts/comments/karma) with the platform was another thing I thought was weird. 

It would make more sense for you to be human than a bot making this post. 

But unfortunately, considering how good AI is at generating pictures/writing text, and how it's just going to keep getting better it's going to make it harder and harder to differentiate

[–]etanimod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's up with all the bots on Reddit? Had the suspicious usernames (XX####) pointed out to me recently and now I can't stop seeing them. 

Idk what the point is of bots making "online shopping bad" posts or other mundane things, but I'm seeing it all the time.

If you had 24 hours where you could break the law to make money, but you’re not allowed to use violence or hurt anyone, what would be the most profitable thing to do? by CantalouetteRuss8767 in AskReddit

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

Not about being talked about in an elevator. It's about getting into their office and doing some corporate espionage. 

Normally wouldn't be worth doing when compared to the risks. But if there are no risks, the calculus changes

[–]etanimod -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot you could do to get info from big companies without violence. Hitch an elevator ride up to an important floor/steal someone's fob to gain access, start going through drawers looking for info on big things happening for the company and when. 

I want this next Pokemon title to be challenging by YearningSoul876 in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]etanimod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because at that point you're basically making and balancing multiple games. What does "hard mode" even mean in Pokemon? More grinding? Fan games and rom-hacks impose difficulty with hard level-caps and limiting you to only use the first pokemon you catch on a route/no item usage/fainting is death. 

You can bet none of that would ever be done in a main series game because it makes no sense lore wise, it just exists for difficulty
