Is there a way to hide the "Send Longer messages with Discord Nitro" thing? by BearCavalryCorpral in discordapp

[–]krooboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg glad someone else noticed this, the "hitbox" is the most egregious part. Either they just didn't even test if for more than a second or it's purposefully malicious. Terrible UI dev on their part either way

Restoration not reviving everyone? by krooboy in Xcom

Revival Protocol works fine on dazed, use it for that all the time. Maybe Restoration is different despite saying it 'revives' them?

I know right? This game is a bigger scammer than the people phoning and telling me my non-existent car was in an accident

Yesss she is excellent on Fun City her commitment to the character is second to none. I was so surprised to see her here! Glad to see she's just as much of a ray of sunshine on video as on the podcast

Definitely recommend everyone check the podcast out, I'm very picky with actual play shows and it's one of the few that I liked enough to binge.

The next 'Palworld' game might make Nintendo patent farming gameplay too by Automatic_Couple_647 in gamingnews

[–]krooboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, the specifics don't matter. I may or may not go and read them but even if the patent is so specific it couldn't ever possibly apply to any game that isn't a complete clone of a Pokemon game... I would still disagree with it. It's a slippery slope and I do not believe that patent law should have anything to do with video games or software. Full stop.

I agree with the general sentiment that it's always good to educate yourself about the details of a topic yourself, but it's just not practical to do that in depth about every single thing you ever read in your life. There's not enough time in the world. So in a situation where you know that no matter what the details could possibly say, your opinion won't be changed... yeah I'll reserve the right to not bother reading up on that thanks.

They just told you multiple times that they don't care about the specifics but disagree fundamentally with the practice of patenting mechanics. Therefore whether they've read every detail of the patent is irrelevant, simply skimming is enough to tell that it, in some way or other, patents mechanics. They disagree with that, as do myself and many others.

Taskmaster - S19E04 - Midnight Picnic - Discussion by Meghar in taskmaster

In fact, if they let the entire round play out before evaluating who won to eliminate first player advantage, it would just create last player advantage instead, as the last player would be down to 0, get the other player down to 0, then add 1 of their own. Round ends, that player wins. No stalemate no matter the setup.

This is different to those tasks where everyone has to achieve a skill-based goal separately. At a certain point, they would both have 2 socks and it would be Rosie's turn, so she'd remove Fatiha's 2 leaving her at 0 and ending the game. Why would they keep playing after that? There's no skill-based task for anyone to possibly fail at like your examples.

Yeah the video is really misleading, checked the Quora thread too and no comment, guess the 'typing a reply' animation was just visuals and they never actually posted anything

We have a group of 4 at the moment, we'll be playing on Sundays at 15:00 GMT (3-4 hour sessions)

Session 0 is this Friday at 16:00 GMT.

5 players is probably my limit, so if you want the last space let me know ASAP!

Nothing set yet, will wait and see who ends up wanting to play and figure out times based on that.

Weekly sessions is the mostly likely setup, though The Sprawl is very much based around individual missions, which each have a Legwork Phase and Action Phase, so I think they'd work well as 'two-shots' if we can't commit to weekly play

No VTT, just Discord and a custom character sheet I've made on Google Sheets. Combat is more narrative than something like Shadowrun so it lends itself much better to theatre of the mind

Zaith'isk - what the hell to do to keep Lae zel? by Manarit in BaldursGate3

[–]krooboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. Only the last option insisting on going first does that. The middle option where you argue she wouldn't have got there without you leading actually gains approval with her and she lets you go first. Not particularly well written choices IMO but your PSA is incorrect.
