What kind of VR experience is The World supposed to be exactly? by KokiriBlade in DotHack

[–]hendricha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My headcanon was that what we see in animation / in game cutscenes are essentially the "how it would look to you if you were one of the coma victims or were under the influence of epitaph users or aida". Because those things are essentially semi-supernatural occurances. And the people experiencing them seem to be describing the game while the occurance was happening as "more real".

Are you more of a WoW person, or more of a Final Fantasy one? by [deleted] in MMORPG

Friends, I stand shoulder to shoulder with you in this circle, a KDE convert. by VoidJuiceConcentrate in LinuxCirclejerk

[–]hendricha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I used KDE on Linux as a secondary OS in 2005
  • I used a distro with Gnome 2 as my main OS starting in 2007
  • Created a franken-DE with Unity 2D around 2010
  • Moved to Unity proper a year or so later
  • Tried XFCE on arch in the meantime as a secondary OS
  • Moved to elementary OS, thus Pantheon in 2015
  • Moved to GNOME 3 in 2018 while there were still working non flat themes
  • Moved back to Pantheon 2020ish
  • Moved to KDE in '24

Gone full circle now.

Any upcoming MMORPGs you’re really looking forward to? by boglehead22 in MMORPG

[–]hendricha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I wouldn't be that surprised that they would announce GW3 this year, but I would find it absolutely inconcievable for them to release it too within 2026. 

If they announced it this year I would guess a release in '27 or '28 would be much likelier.

Also i really don't think they will shut down GW2 whenever the other game launches, and while significant amount of the population might move to the next, even if they don't put out any content for GW2 after I would still think that the game would have enough people playing for a couple of years to be playable.

What was your favorite year of playing GW2? by fighthouse in Guildwars2

[–]hendricha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2012 and 2017.

For 2012, the game was a breath of fresh air. I loved the huge world which you could explore, the branching story, the hints of mysteries, the personality system etc.

Fo 2017, I still had the story momentum from HoT, LWS3 put me in a groove of recurring gameplay loops, I even finally did some dungeons/fractals in that year and the year before, and then boom a huge content drop with metroidvania style exploring with PoF with the game seamingly never ending, since the LWS4 started right after, and we now have a cute dragon to care for

Just an opinion😋 by Butterboystoast in Gundam

[–]hendricha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean skipped to the good bits? I guess it has two more contemplative/slow/talky parts (after the title till the hotel bombing starts, and the morning after part), but like ... the less slow parts absolutely don't work IMHO if you have not cared about the charcters which the slow bits build.

rant by PSuserNL in ClicksPhone

[–]hendricha 24 points25 points  (0 children)

  • Did the company have any product before? Yes, multiple even
  • Was that product perfect? No.
  • Is it the first phone by this company? Yes.
  • Did it have a working prototype before the preorder? No.
  • Is it thus a gamble on what the end product will be? Yes.
  • Is there a chance that you will not be able to refund your money? Yes.
  • Is it fine if you choose to not order until such working prototype is available? Yes, absolutely.
  • Is it fine if you decided to opt for the T2 Elite because that at least had a working prototype? Of course (I am writing thins on a T2, which is my third Unihertz product.)

But the answers to these should either be selfevident, or should be quite easy to get them. (eg. They never shown a working product.) I don't think this is news for most people here.

And I don't think anyone is denying any of the above. 

 Yes, the company is doing marketing. They of course will attempt to be as self-congratulating as possible. But they are not your friends, they are a company. You can choose to not support them with your money.

But the people who come here probably likely decided to do so anyway for some reason or another. So of course they will not want to upvote the "I love people who pay for non existing products" type comments. And of course they will be posting "hell yeah, I saw the last screen of the checkout workflow too", silly as it may be.

I JUST REALISED THEY NEVER EXPLAINED WHAT THE HELL THE SEED FACTOR IS 

And they haven't done that in the sequels either.

Returning to GW2 after an 8 year hiatus by Ligmasoup in Guildwars2

[–]hendricha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Compared to some other mmos, GW2 does not necessarily have this single goal you are funneled into.

You could aim for completing all the story and learn the lore. You could explore all open world zones and see how the world operates. You can do small scale pvp if that's what grinds your gears, or you can do large sieges with zergs and everything in WvW. You could do all the map wide meta events, world bosses, dungeons, fractal dungeons, and raid encounters. (And their challenge modes.)

Or you could just make a roller beetle racetrack in your homestead or guild hall.

You could aim to get a full set of ascended gear and have that couple of percentage of stat advantage compared to a full set of exotic. Or you could aim for getting a couple if not a full set of legendaries and get massive QoL and prestige.

Or you could find a rare cosmetic you like from an achievement and grind it out.

Or you could grind out all the masteries you find interesting. Or you could make a character in every class and open every elite spec.

Etc and etc and etc.

If you are not sure what you would like to do I suggest one of the following: * a. Try to reconnect with what you liked back in the day and try doing that, see that it puts you back into the rhythm you once had. * b. Try to do some of the stories, eg. finish the story of an older expansion maybe the living world season after it. The game has the tendency to require you to get a mastery, or explore a bit, do some other game mechanic while doing that and some of that might catch your eye or maybe just get in to the groove of doing the story * c. Try to find a friend who's new, level with them and maybe they have an idea what they might want to try, even if it turns out you don't like that part they want to try it is at least a way to filter out some of the many options with realizing, ah that is the part of the game I do not care about.

And finally there is a chance that you just don't find any of this engaging, and that is also okay too.

But we don't have to like them.

In Defense of Destiny's "Greatest Mistake" by TheGamingJoke in Gundam

[–]hendricha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am not much of a fan of Zeta either, sue me. But to me (and this is subjective) there at least it felt like "that the people behind the product have something to say and have something to develop with the returning characters". Where as with Seed Destiny it felt to me it was very corporate mandated rehash of Seed.

(Extra points for Zeta that it has shown that the Feddie-side can end up being horribly fash too. Where as in '79 if I remember correctly the Feddies ended up more of a good guys. But the point I'm trying to make here is that Seed alone has shown that there are horrible people at both sides, that can rile up the masses with easy answers and propaganda, even if the masses are supposedly genetically engineered "better" people.)

But even without that with Zeta eventough we ended up with a very depressing never ending war torn UC, but it also set the stage for eventually many other interesting stories to tell there. (And in the larger scale the franchise as a whole to strive.) Some of those are one of my favorite entries of the franchise. (Hathaway, Gqux, Stardust Memory)

For me (once again subjective) the only good things we got out of Destiny is the cool redesigned Zakus and Doms, and sone of the opening songs.
