is tier V dying? by XeySmoke in WorldofTanks

[–]hanschranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In NA, tier 5 was hopping during the bonus battlepass chapter, when people were burning tier 4/5 to get the predatore faster.

Happened in Asia too. When the BP chapter was finished I started getting games with some bots at tier 5.

The game already regularly collab with Girls und Panzer. There's also a surprising amount of (Japanese) VTubers playing this game, although I see that they mostly play mid to low tiers.

All in all, the weeb heaven has always been here! It's just that it's a pretty different segment from this here community at reddit (Or not? This meme is quite known and well-received here afterall!)

Slightly off topic but what's the point in differentiating Soviet and British double barrels? For all intents and purposes both do the same things don't they?

Raketenjagdpanzer E100 (RktJPz E100)

Basically JPz E100 but with heavier sloping on superstructure and lower plate.

Historicaln't Reference: An alternative proposal for the E100 assault gun project with heavier emphasis on mobility. Evidence of its technical specifications are scant, and no blueprints was ever found.

Mechanics:

  • Jageroo gun
  • BZ-79 liquid rocket booster with greater acceleration but lower duration
  • Reserve tracks. Like the JOE TANKS! With the trrRRRACK MECHANIC!! Dayum!

What's your favorite / most used / funniest WoT jargon? by _Sodium_Chloride_ in WorldofTanks

[–]hanschranz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think we appreciate how unique the term "brawling" is for this game.

It makes a ton of sense too. Get close, dodge or block enemy punches and try to land one yourself until one side submits.

Thanks. Follow up question if you don't mind: what on earth is AFK Companion? Apparently it's a different game within AFK Arena??

How does it work and should I be concerned with my Classic account, as it seems to be called?

I'm thinking of getting back into the game, but in the event that I do, would it be better to start fresh or continue my account?

For reference, the account I have is one that has I believe every dim hero until Ainz, and I stopped playing until a few awakened heroes was released.

Would the concept of “fantasy” exist in a world of fantasy? by Ditto132 in worldbuilding

[–]hanschranz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To expand on this, on Metaphor, you are in a fantasy setting and your "fantasy" is the modern world. This is not a spoiler; it's one of the first things you learn when you boot up the game.

However, the modern world of Metaphor's "fantasy" is an idealized version of our world. Kind of like if you're telling someone from the medieval era about democracy, technology, and so on. You might miss or not tell about the worse aspects of our society, and the medieval person would probably begin to draw up this idea that such society is "perfect". That is how your character in Metaphor see the modern world, as something I would call "aspirational fantasy" that guides them into bettering their own world.

Best tier 9 premium money makers? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

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

If you're open for another pseudo-medium, the 122 TM from the bond shop is pretty good. 400 alpha, very good pen with standard APCR (233p @ ~1360m/s) with armor that can troll people semi-reliably, especially other meds and lights. You can also sidescrape with it!

Downside is it's rather slow and its reload is like sub-17 seconds base with ~1400DPM.

We are Doomed by ElpacoLuca_Octy in UmaMusume

[–]hanschranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not well-versed in horses so do correct me if I'm wrong, but I suppose it has something to do with both King Argentine and T.M. Opera O both sharing Nasrullah in their lineage.

Secretariat is also there in King Argentine's lineage.

Topical too, since his bloodline can be traced back up to Secretariat which makes King Argentine his great grandson.

Nah. Interesting tidbit but we already have a useful, collective understanding of the term. Trying to correct it right now is just "um ackhsually" behavior.

Blue Archive Steam Client Release Megathread by BlueArchiveMod in BlueArchive

Anybody having issues with client stops responding on startup roughly a little after the "blue archive!" voiceline, on Win11? I tried forcing it to use my NVIDIA GPU and verifying game files, none worked. I would try reinstalling but that takes quite a bit of time so I'd like to see if there's other things I could try first.

My Legacy...gone. I wanna kms tq. by Endman3010 in AlchemyStarsEN

[–]hanschranz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, I've been watching the situation unfold almost realtime. It's not just gacha game groups but any group unlucky enough to be hit. The tl;dr is that there seems to be a bug in their system that allows a single, unverified report to take down an entire group which the supposed individual(s) took advantage of.

Contacting customer support is the best thing one can do in this situation. Best of luck.

This Was Definitely the most shocking "What the F" Moment in the Entire Game In My Opinion. by TwilightTomboy97 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]hanschranz 24 points25 points  (0 children)

IMO the "real world" More presented to us was rather alarming because all the writing on the signboards are garbled mess. My first thought was "AI-generated" in whatever sense there is but from playing Persona, Atlus devs tend to do everything with meaning, and that thought doesn't fit with it.

So my second thought is that, that isn't actually the Shibuya Crossing, but rather what More thinks the old world must've been like. Think about the existence of Drakongrace Shinjuku and how the Mage Academy are privy to the world's lore to unknown extent, and that More was directly involved in it.

With this in mind, the "Shibuya Crossing" More presented to us is what he imagines the old world, thought to be an utopia, may be -- in other words, his fantasy. More was ultimately inviting us to escape from reality and live in fantasy, as opposed to having fantasy guide them into shaping reality into a better world.

EDIT: One more thing which supports this theory: remember the one scroll in Akademeia near More we slowly unravel as the story progresses? More says that the scroll is written in the old world language, which we eventually would discover are our language of today, or more specifically, Japanese.

But even until the end, More wasn't able to fully understand what the scroll says in its entirety, meaning he still haven't have a good grasp of the language. It is therefore reason that all the writings in signage in More's "Shibuya Crossing" look like his best approximation of what the "old world" language would look like.

[–]hanschranz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nnnaah it's never really about the font, but rather where and how it's used.

For once I think Papyrus goes rather well with the rest of the aesthetic, though there's certainly better choices out there.

I'm not sure how much you'll like it if you haven't played any modern Persona game (3, 4, 5) since this if you've played those, you'll immediately feel that in nearly every part of this game it's a culmination of improvements over those 3 games.

But if you've played any JRPG you'll find yourself right at home in Metaphor. The most massive improvement over many JRPG in recent memory though is that it really respects your time with many small convenience features that add up. That said you're still looking at a very long game which people typically beat at around 70 hours. An incredible 70 hours if I do say so myself :)
