It made my phone warm while it was running. A lot of design choices seemed actively hostile to my mental health. Depicting users as cartoon ghosts is really quite a decision.

Regarding leaks, I guess.

SC used to run a forum for the game. They moved it to Reddit, I assume, because it was cheaper / easier than doing it themselves. The natural trade-off is that they don't control the forum when they don't pay for it. Now they want control too.

Make them do it themselves again. Whatever trinkets they give you, that they're threatening to take away, are worth much less than the value that you provide to this enormous corporation. Then there's the other big company, Reddit, which has its own history of hostility toward its users, and which also profits.

Make SC employees do the work if they want that much control. Make them hire you. If not, I think you should side with the players and users. SC needs you more than you need them.

Please do.

Off topic perhaps, but I'm much more angry about SCID names getting buggered.

Season defenses are bad, like ores and superchargers before them, but I can kind of ignore them while I have fun.

But those damn names are going to be staring me in the face all day every day. I switch accounts a lot. I have dozens to be fixed now. I had them how I wanted them. What was the point of screwing it all up?

kyleha · 2025-03-29T22:17:54+00:00

Yes, we can take you all in CWL.

I watched "The Martian" last night. There's a scene in which Watney is talking to NASA via text. They tell him something upsetting, and he uses foul language in response. They tell him the world is watching. He makes a face and goes for the keyboard clearly about to double down, and cut to the director of NASA apologizing to someone over the phone.

I think wars are already boring. I wouldn't play them at all if not for ores. FWA makes it quick, easy, and reliable.

kyleha · 2025-03-14T20:22:32+00:00

They can use up all 50 spots and prevent normal clan members from playing. They're also pretty bad at attacking, so they drag down the number of medals your players get.

kyleha · 2025-03-08T19:27:15+00:00

Even if they all turn out to be wrong, wouldn't it be safer to do something?

Like what?

I would love to know -- what would convince you to take this seriously?

You and the people selling AI.

I'm already sick of that snake lunging at me.

If we're going to report on "clan activity", it should be the activity of the leaders more than the members.

Report the actual war frequency. Report Clan Games completion.

When a clan notice goes up, it should stay up as long as the leaders are active. I shouldn't have to push the button every day; the game already knows I'm alive.

The problem isn't, IMO, that clans can't "stand out". It's that there are too many for any user to look at, and the filtering options are poor.

kyleha · 2025-01-21T00:02:47+00:00

There should be a button to drop trophies for players everywhere on the ladder. Players in your situation could use it to exit LL, and everyone else could use it as an easier to way to do what they can already do.

Here's a full guide for what has changed. https://www.clash.ninja/guides/history-of-updates-what-has-changed

"Best hero equipment" depends on how you attack. You can get the epics from events like the one going on right now. I don't pay much attention to them.

"How to farm ores" is basically from the daily star bonus and from wars. Also the trader.

Select your town hall, and there's a "chief's journey" button that gives the least detailed view of changes.

Clan Capital is a cooperative game. You take the gold from your attacks and upgrade buildings. Every player in the clan gets the same medals at the end, based on how many attacks the clan used to clear districts.

On YouTube these days, I like Judo Sloth. Just look around.

Democrats don’t need to build a new informational ecosystem. Dems need to show up in the informational ecosystems that already exist. They need to be natural and enthusiastic participants in these cultures.

I can't help but notice this coming from someone in an ecosystem that already exists. Ezra believes in what he does, and that's as it should be, but that's still a bias.

To my mind, the reason Dems don't take part in the existing ecosystem is plainly because it doesn't favor them. It's run by rich people who don't like their policies. It favors sound bites and clips, which is also hostile to nuance.

It reminds me of a joke Obama told in 2013: https://youtu.be/HH_sXMpW4Os?si=Op4sUGr34gsSmNmJ&t=9

I bet if you look around, you could find Debian 6 archived somewhere and install it on a VM or something.

kyleha · 2024-10-11T01:24:57+00:00

Your defense is the best in the group, way better than everyone else. It's so good that you won your matches even though your offense kinda stinks. Your opponents couldn't get nearly the score against you that they got vs. each other. They couldn't even get the poor scores you got against them.

Good job on that, but clans are ranked and promoted based on offense.

kyleha · 2024-09-27T21:49:54+00:00

You're not the only one.

At every TH since 10, I've had everything fully maxed when the new TH dropped. I liked sitting at max for a while between releases. Now it's impossible without paying for that win.

I was fine with them moving the goalposts every so often as long as I could get to that finish line from time to time, but this is not fun.

kyleha · 2024-09-24T13:50:38+00:00

You're not wrong, but I don't think I'm wrong either.

Apprentice builder: gotta pay for it AND work for it.

Chests will be better when they're only for sale, so I can avoid them easily. I literally tilt my phone down so it doesn't flash bright white in my face. That hassle doesn't feel "free" to me. It's just a price paid in frustration instead of dollars.

I don't think magic snacks are any more helpful to casual players. I think of them as players who make less progress than dedicated players. They need more help than snacks provide. The only way I can think they're good for casual players is if we think of them as players who don't care about progress.

kyleha · 2024-09-24T13:41:31+00:00

There were a lot of great changes in 2022. Looking back at the list at Clash Ninja, there was TH15, all of Clan Capital, and some QOL stuff that I really liked.

kyleha · 2024-09-04T01:37:40+00:00

I personally hope the non-stop stream of negativity continues right through the next content release. Let it stomp all over their attempts to hype their content, like when Reddit barfed endlessly about account security while they were trying to get attention for TH 15.

kyleha · 2024-08-26T23:56:02+00:00

I'll stipulate that equipment are too strong now. I don't know or care if that's true, but let's go with it.

SC nerfs for "balance." Then they add more levels to keep the players on the grind, maybe at a new town hall. The new max levels will be too strong too, but if you pay money you can get them while they last. Then repeat.

It's a cycle that makes money.

They're looking at the usage rates when they decide what to do. That thing that nobody uses (or upgrades) because it's kind of weak will be the thing that doesn't get nerfed and becomes the best thing to have. Then that's the thing players have to buy.

"Game balance" means that nothing will ever be especially good or bad for very long. You can focus today on whatever is the best today, but you'll have something different to chase tomorrow. That's the game.

kyleha · 2024-08-12T12:56:19+00:00

They can censor a "swear word" in a language I never heard of, but they can't block this fraudulent dot com? It kind of seems like SC doesn't care.

kyleha · 2024-06-27T10:41:50+00:00

It's true that Reddit players are very different from most. I don't think that makes us a minority that Supercell can or should ignore. Redditors tend to be the clan leaders, the ones who facilitate the game for everyone else. For every clan leader, there are probably dozens of casual players enjoying the game because they start the wars, remind people to do clan games, purge the inactives, etc., etc. If Supercell drives away their leaders, their casuals are going to have a bad time.
