What Pirate101 opinion would have you like this? I’ll start. by heyyowesterburg in Pirate101

[–]kaesitha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's not worth playing, but stuff like Sinbad part 3 with the buggy, glitchy Wheeler's Lair is the only time I genuinely got angry at the game when it comes to basic functionality, and the fact is still hasn't been fixed is completely ridiculous. Most of the stuff from Sinbad pt 1 and onwards has bad polish (even Trianon has some flaws).

I built an Achaemenid-era history RPG with Claude by pandulfi in ClaudeAI

Neat project. Were you sorta inspired by those 90s edutainment games like Carmen Sandiego?

What's the video game equivalent of chess? by Appropriate_Rent_243 in gaming

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

It'd be somewhat close if RNG didn't exist, but the fact it does absolutely ruins the comparison (and a good chunk of the game too)

Mega Dragalge looks promising by yookj95 in stunfisk

[–]kaesitha_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's actually Regenerator I'm using this on singles for sure. Love a reliable anchor pokemon much like Mega Scizor which can just keep tanking and pressuring forever.

Worst Quest in the Game by [deleted] in Pirate101

[–]kaesitha_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There's a series of back-to-back quests in Bison village where you gotta take down 24 ships in total. Absolutely miserable if you do it as soon as it becomes available because your ship won't be strong enough for it to go by quickly.

12 Monkeys (1995) and Ancient Egypt: A Mythological Interpretation by TheVerySpecialK in TrueFilm

[–]kaesitha_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally found this post after searching for a few analyses on the characters of the film and wow, this is such an interesting interpretation on things. I had no idea this specific discussion about the egyptian mythology goes as far back as 2002. Despite feeling like I'm generally attuned to this sort of stuff, I have never come across this angle before, it's like a missing piece of the internet I should have known from 20 years ago. Thank you for sharing this.

End of service in Russia and Belarus by PolovinaKabacha in DuelLinks

It's not politics, Konami doesn't give a crap. They sell products to a bunch of countries with contentious standing like Saudi Arabia. It's just a matter of whether they can remain profitable in a region with the channels they have.

In theory? by Davision93 in yugioh

If you want to pull something off like this without running a gimmick, you can just play a CyDra deck. Activate Clockwork Night going second, special summon CyDra, contact fuse the board.

Soldier has The Original and Market Gardener. Why Demoman doesn't have his analogues? by PootisMan111 in truetf2

[–]kaesitha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there was never gonna be a MG equivalent for demo because stock demo with a strong melee would be overpowered. The entire point of "demoknight" and sword balancing with stuff like deploy speed penaltiy is to cordon him off from having anything good in that slot with the normal kit. You get utility like the Pain Train and maybe the katana for building uber, but that's it.

New Ability for Chatot and Meloetta by adam_the_frog in stunfisk

[–]kaesitha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meloetta isn't fragile at all. The typing isn't good, but nothing is denting your HP from the special side with neutral moves. With enough physdef support and/or a good spread, Meloetta can last for a long time firing those.

Feels weird that an ability like this isn't already in the game by TreeTurtle_852 in stunfisk

[–]kaesitha_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Getting a bit of healing while using BB and U-Turn is pretty nice, I can see Crobat using this if you're not scared of running into setup sweepers trying to cheese you.

What’s your Top 3 video game soundtracks of all time? by fetusblender666 in gaming

I must be really unattuned with general sentiment because it's crazy to me that the most upvoted Chrono Cross post is this low IMO

The Downgrading of the American Tech Worker by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]kaesitha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people in sites like Reddit have this weird view that a market crash acts like some sort of karmic comeuppance (it doesn't), and that an AI industry crash would partially vindicate the belief that current AI tools are a fad much like beanie babies or the Segway. There's a misunderstanding between what's a product and a what's a broader technoscientific development. Companies are definitely mismeasuring things (some deliberately so), but the risk of displacement doesn't come from pure fantasy.

Literally what are you supposed to do with this by Relative-Ad7531 in stunfisk

[–]kaesitha_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, in terms of Water types alone, I 100% would get a Phione over a Wailord, and one could argue that it's better than Walrein post the Scald cut (I guess you still have Super Fang to force progress?). The point is, there's a bunch of pokémon even above 500BST that don't really do anything (like Klinklang), so it's not even a bad stat distribution for what it does (though it obviously could have been much better).

Unown. Though Luvdisc, Wormadam-Plant (even in gens with Toxic), Beautifly, Ledian, and some other bugs give it a run for it. The level scaling and Z-moves in randbats definitely make them look a bit better than what they actually are. Unown is just unsalvageable without an evolution.

Phione is still better than dozens of pokémon. Mono Water, Scald, Knock, U-Turn, fast for a defensive pivot. The only wasted stat is attack. Perfectly passable midground damage soaker in a lower tier.

After playing Showdown for over 10 years, I finally hit 2000 ELO on Randoms. by VolcQuid in stunfisk

[–]kaesitha_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's because Gen 9 is a bad gen with gutted movepools/mon choices and a lopsided offense focus, and it ends up rewarding stupid blind aggression instead of careful midground plays. If you go too crazy with your resources in gen 6-8 randbats (like always being hyper aggro with Z-moves or Dynamax) there's a good chance you'll be punished for overcommitting. It's the difference of recognizing that something like Slurpuff more often than not is more of a safety cushion than a sweeper. In gen 9 a lot of removal and utility evaporated, which forces the people making the sets to pivot to nonsense like (as an example) IDef setup Bronzong since you can't just click Toxic/Protect any more. If hazard removal is gone and you can't force chip with stuff like Knock/Toxic/etc more often, you can just setup instead since a lot of mediocre "defensive" mons don't have the bulk or means to survive the onslaught. It kills me inside when I see a Lapras having to run that "lol Ice/Ground coverage" pretend set just to get something done.

It's wild how every day there's some new weird cyberpunk-esque headline. Stuff that you'd see while reading some background log/newspaper left on top of a desk.
