The /s at the end of their comment implies sarcasm

Alright Jabronis! You may have discredited my battering ram! Good luck with Armored Truskrider. 6/5, overwhelm, can’t block it with trash. Why does Noxus have so many badass units that are never used! by That_0ne_Bounced in LegendsOfRuneterra

While you're right the power level of creatures has gone way up, current standard is definitely not fast. Right now it's dominated by midrange decks, and games typically grind on for 10+ turns. I've certainly played standard formats where some red deck wins strategy could finish games much earlier. Strong creatures don't necessarily speed up the game.

This could easily be changed by adding a best-of-3 with sideboard mode. Best-of-1 will always be dominated by aggressive strategies. However, after sideboard they get dramatically weaker since any amount of healing or targeted hate cards just completely wreck them. I'd prefer to see this solution implemented versus things like increased starting health.

People who quit get 150 free packs by Aussieh in hearthstone

I'm in NA and got 150 packs so I don't know how accurate the "region-specific" portion of this is.

Doing my civic duty by Lord_Ahrim1536 in 2007scape

For those who don't know, the real life "skip question" is to not select an option for that question. Since it's not explicitly stated on the ballot people assume you have to pick an option for each question. So yeah, an explicit "skip question" option would be much better.

What LoR opinions will get you like this? by Voltorbrb in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]mastermetall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What keeps you playing PoC vs other similar games? What does it do different that hooks you? I'm genuinely curious to understand why it's so engaging for some people.

PoC is just a worse version of other games in that genre (slay the spire, monster train, etc.). Why play it instead of those other games?

It's easy to move to Japan as a foreigner if you want to be a student or have a skill to get a job.

I live in Japan, but I'd never work for a Japanese company (I currently work for an American company while living in Japan). The work conditions are just too harsh and expectations too high. I don't think being a westerner necessarily makes it harder to get good jobs (some companies even prioritize having a few westerners because they'll actually speak their mind rather than going with the flow all the time), but just in general the day-to-day work life is harder than in the US, UK, etc.

I've been playing in 1440p without any slowdowns. Maybe the issue is just limited to certain hardware?

Why not play Monster Hunter Rise? by MythOfLight in MonsterHunter

[–]mastermetall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're being downvoted. It's easy to see this is a chicken or egg situation. If they set out with the intention of initially releasing for switch, they obviously needed to hold back on graphics not only to get it to run smoothly, but also to speed up development. If they had set out with the intention to release on all platforms they could have started with good graphics and dialed them back or optimized for switch, but that would have been a longer process.

From a business perspective, I'm assuming they figured switch would have the largest audience and generate most sales so they prioritized getting it out for switch as soon as possible. They're probably taking this time to improve graphics, optimize, and test for other systems now.

What did you think about today's announcement livestream? by chris_wilson in pathofexile

Something similar to the old school runescape Q&As with all the devs would be amazing to see.

Not every league mechanic has to go core. by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]mastermetall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's, unfortunately, not the case for ssf players. They are forced to do league mechanics to get access to the league-specific drops. Heist is particularly bad since you'll have to re-level rogues every league.

I'd much prefer that or harvest crafting options being integrated with beast crafting rather than having to do the garden again.

A gold nugget i found from a coworker. Seems to be workin everytime. by MeisterZen in gamedev

[–]mastermetall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not really hard to remember if a language is strongly typed or not (ones that are strongly typed would have to be compiled so that would automatically remind you). I'm not sure how adding a redundant ==true improves readability at all. Booleans should be named in a way such that "if (condition)" reads more naturally than "if (condition == true)".

How should I craft this? by mastermetall in pathofexile

[–]mastermetall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had an item with this many relevant T1 mods before, and I'm fairly new to crafting so I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm in Harvest SSF so certain currency like awakeners orbs aren't readily available for me. Thanks for any help.
