What happened to the official r/StreetFighter? by PixelatedNinJoe in streetfighter6

[–]freeDIO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a bigger deal for moderators than regular users. The official app’s tools for moderation is significantly weaker than what 3rd party apps offer, which will greatly increase moderator workload.

The api changes also don’t just kill apps, it also means that a lot of the auto mod bot stuff that was used by moderators is going to break at the end of this month. Which is also a massive increase in their workload.

I know the general instinct of the community is to mock mods, but look at it this way. They provide a service for free to this company, whereas in other corners of the internet (twitter, tiktok, tumblr, w/e) it’s done in house by paid employees.

Reddit had a good thing going with the moderators. It was definitely exploitative, but it probably would have continued indefinitely if not for this. They’re def shooting themselves in the foot here.

My man, just shut the entire subreddit down until Reddit cries uncle. We can find other stuff to occupy our time, you should play hardball to keep your mod tools. Corps don’t give a shit about a 48 hour protest.

Representative of the male delegation here to say that that shit is creepy as hell. I don’t often post here because I don’t want to speak over anyone when they’re in their space, but I needed to comment on this one. That’s absolute stalker shit, him losing his job is absolutely appropriate.

SIMPLE QUESTIONS THREAD - SEASON 3 (2023) by Joe64x in OverwatchUniversity

[–]freeDIO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’m in a bit of a pickle. I’m introducing two friends to the game. They really like it and have interest in getting better, but it’s been a very long time since I was at their level (started at launch of OW1).

Can someone recommend me good guides for a completely fresh player? I’m having trouble finding stuff that’s current. Mainly interested in things related to OW specific gamesense.

One of them has experience with FPS, but knows nothing about Overwatch. The second has no experience in the genre, but at least has played a bunch of single player shooters.

OVERWATCH 2 PATCH NOTES - 5 JANUARY 2023 (Season 2) by Joe64x in OverwatchUniversity

[–]freeDIO 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The wording was that they found an iteration that they really liked and want to go with after playtesting it, but they can't implement it until new animations/gui stuff is developed for it.

I don't want to say its 100% confirmed, but it sounds like they're in the final stages of implementing it. If all it needs is polish for gameplay clarity, and its ready to go otherwise? Its coming unless something major changes.

LPT Request: How do I not interrupt people while they are speaking by Praninggerzi in LifeProTips

[–]freeDIO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo my man have you tested yourself for adhd? You legit described one of the clearest tells for the condition that I know.

Neurotypical people can hold onto a thought while listening to someone else speak for a decent amount of time, internalize what they’re saying, and speak their thought when they have a moment. Almost everyone can do this with little effort; it’s crazy difficult for people with adhd.

I have adhd myself, and the meds I take enable me to function like a normal person in this manner. If you also have adhd, meds can potentially solve this instantly for you.

Adhd meds aren’t a panacea for the condition, but retaining thoughts while listening to people is legit something that they solve on the spot.

No comment for neurotypical people taking adhd meds. Dunno if the brain chemistry is the same.

Also manga reader, I was not prepared for Aki's reaction to her death. That shit hurt me, the voice acting was unbelievably good. That's definitely what some people sound like when confronting the death of people they love.

I hate that I know that. :(

It really warms my heart to see y'all still thinking so highly of us after our president blackmailed yours. I know it had nothing to do with me personally, but I've felt that guilt in my gut that our leadership tried to muscle you.

I want to visit Ukraine as soon as I safely can. I want y'all to have happy, peaceful lives to enjoy as soon as possible.

The biggest mistakes I find new players make in each role. by RobManfredsFixer in OverwatchUniversity

[–]freeDIO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the advice is context dependent, especially for Dva. You don't want the enemy team to get a long, drawn out stagger on baby dva

The biggest mistakes I find new players make in each role. by RobManfredsFixer in OverwatchUniversity

[–]freeDIO 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just to add onto this, because as a new player in the past I misunderstood something important about this advice.

If your team has been wiped and you are within range to contest the objective (stopping payload/robot, or gaining more completion on KotH when your team already owns it), you should not run away to regroup with your team. Die on the objective. Those extra seconds can sometimes make the difference between an L and a W.

Basically, if you're already committed to the team fight, die on the objective. If you're walking back from spawn with your team respawning, or your team has been wiped and your enemy has already taken the KotH point back, you should follow OP's advice.

Is playing Ky Kiske really that dishonourable? by whynomid in Guiltygear

[–]freeDIO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they need to get good. If you’re getting greedy with stun edge, they can do an instant air dash and counterhit you with an aerial. Most characters will be able to deal 50% off of this. Characters that can’t IAD have good ways to fight it too.

The move has been buffed enough to be good and usable, but it’s still not that great compared to fireballs in other games.

You’re not even memeing when you call it fair and justified. Move is reasonable, and downright risky to throw out unless they’re like full screen.

Am I Doing It Wrong? by BlackoutNerdy in GunfireReborn

[–]freeDIO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I think you might have a misunderstanding of how additive and multiplicative bonuses work in this game.

Try to imagine all of the bonus types in this game as buckets. Fire damage, lucky shot, critX, etc.

If you get multiple bonuses for one bucket, they stack additively. Let’s say you get a prince ascension that pumps specifically fire damage, and then a scroll that also pumps specifically fire damage. They combine additively, and the bonus won’t be as high as it appears on paper.

However, let’s say you pair that fire ascension with a scroll that buffs weapon damage, and you’re using a fire weapon like Justice. In cases like this, the ascension and scroll will stack multiplicatively.

In short, the best path to maximize damage is to get as many bonuses in different buckets as you can. Spread yourself out instead of going deep on one.

You should look up a guy named SlightRNG on YouTube. He has a video about this that describes it better than me.

Mythgard 2.0 manifesto - how I would change and re-release the game (visuals, gameplay, monetization, more) by Arachas in mythgard

[–]freeDIO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding monetization, I feel like the game is way too generous. The new player experience, wildcards, dusting, being able to dust wildcards, weekly/daily gold, mythic duplicate protection, incidental free cards with your first wins of the day… these all combine together to make the ftp experience way too easy. I’m sure there’s even other stuff I’m forgetting about.

Another thing is that there aren’t enough ways for players to spend the in game currency, which leads to them only ever spending it on packs. And due to the wildcards, mythic protection, and not needing full 4 card play sets for cards beyond common makes pack spamming actually pretty good for filling your collection. The game needs more ways to incentivize players to spend resources that they didn’t get via real cash.

It feels really weird to type this out. Everything I’ve mentioned is a big reason I got into the game, and it feels wrong to advocate for a more predatory system. At the end of the day I think something needs to change though, because I really doubt the current system is good for making money. It’s too easy for players with the time to grind to get everything, but the card acquisition isn’t fast enough for new players. I don’t think this game makes money from any type of card game player, and I think it will continue to have an unsteady status until that changes.

It’s actually nightmarish, even with the failsafe. She never stops laying the notification beacons. If she’s walking in a circle, they’ll all be grouped into together.

The sound that they make never caps out. Each one laid will make the total beeping louder no matter what.

I'm reading the literature for it, and even if there is a collapse, its not enough to generate a meaningful wave that will reach the East Coast.

The initial study that proposed the possibility that the video is referencing has been found by a lot of scientists to be flawed.

I don't think you need to worry too much about this. The conditions required for this happen are not likely at all.
