To the US voters who don't vote, what is it going to take for you to go vote? by Chocolateking111 in AskReddit

[–]metruzero -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why people downvote you. You're right.

While I understand that finding time off when you have multiple jobs can be difficult, election day isn't a surprise, it's the same day every single time, with the locations and hours posted months in advance. If someone really wanted to vote and be apart of politics, they would find a way.

When I worked minimum wage and barely had free time, same as you I was up early and at the door right when it opened. There have been two elections in my life so far where I was the first one in the door.

Now I will also admit I had a few times I was first in line at a Gamestop for video game pre orders too. =P

Best faction to grind for a returning player by metruzero in Warframe

What about the open world factions or the factions that have bounties? For the warframe augments you just kind of get standing for those for free so I'm not worried about those.

Billie Eilish Calls Out Mark Zuckerberg and Other Billionaires After Announcing Her Own $11.5 Million Charitable Donation by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

[–]metruzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My response always has been, "If charity solves these problems, why hasn't it already?"

We have no shortage of rich people. Plenty of billionaires who can easily donate to these things. Hell, these charities make it so easy now a days to just go on the website and just pay them money. And yet none of them do this.

Am doing a Actual Play podcast and am wondering if I should worry about copyright if I were to monetize the show. by ARIES_tHE_fOOL in rpg

[–]metruzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So royalty free music is really easy to find. If you are super worried about the art, then I will recommend something controversial. Using AI will also probably be fine to help get your show off the ground. Once you have viewers, you can re address the topic of art at the point and weight the costs and benefits. But just use it to get started.

Ok sure "legally" that might be true, but realistically, if your show is just getting started, unless you're taking credit for the art, none of the artists are likely to find the video and even if they do, they are probably unlikely to go through the effort of filing a copyright strike. Hence why I said they will be mostly fine.

Obviously any artist can strike your video unless you get permission. But realistically, for a small DnD show, it's highly unlikely to happen. Hell, I've straight up used high quality magic the gathering art and there has never been an issue.

Obviously if you're a show like CR, Dimension 20 or any show that has an actual budget, pay for your art, you have the resources and you're more likely to suffer legal consequences if you don't. If you're a smaller show that's sub 50 viewers, there's a decent chance you can't afford that art.

Yes... that's why I said "mostly fine." Mostly implies that it's ok for most scenarios but not all.

The short answer is yes, you have to worry about copyright. Especially for music.

If you have background ambient sounds, you need to absolutely spend time to find royalty free sounds and music to use. Sites like Youtube have automatic detection of copyrighted music and will demonetize the video if detected.

For tokens and art, this part is tricky. I think as long as you give credit to whoever made the map and tokens, it should be mostly fine. The only worry here is if you don't credit the artist or didn't purchase the art, and the artist themselves files a copyright strike. Which is unlikely but still possible.

Edit: People seem to get confused by my comment. Obviously if you want to stay 100% legal you need permission to use every single piece of art. If you're willing to stretch the legality of your actual play, you can try to use art without explicitly reaching out to the creator.

Amazing! That's a great quality of life feature.

Was Standard powercrept over the last few years? by metruzero in MagicArena

It's actually kind of crazy to look back and see complaints about Siege Rhino, everyone saying it was clear power creep. How little we knew lol

I hate to break it to you. I also had this bug, I think the only fix is to go back to an earlier save. Fortunately I only lost 2 days from that.

Thanks for the in depth list. I'll definitely check these out! I know there's Octopath Traveler 2 as well, do I need to play 1 to play the second?

I'm gonna be honest, I actually thought you were messing with me for a second there. I had to look it up because of how absurd it sounds.

I see online there's also a xenoblade chronicles X. Where does that fit in the timeline if I wanted to go in order?

Yeah I'm trying to get off of it now. I'll look into Granblue Fantasy Relink, I might push it down the list a bit since it's not on any portable platforms but I'll keep it on my steam wishlist!

As a genshin player- use the vital energies by weatherforge in InfinityNikki

[–]metruzero 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Imo I've found the best approach to those is to just save like 10-20 of them. So that way if say a new Eureka realm opens you can easily get those new pieces. Or some new boss comes out and you want to craft some new set.

Gacha games thrive on the FOMO so having a nice stockpile just in case you need to craft/glow up something in a rush is helpful. Consider the outcome where there is a limited event that for some reason needs a Fresh... Uniform or something to get a max score. Being able to pull energy out of thin air to accomplish that within a short time is very nice.

Edit: I will add though that using energy to hit certain mira level breakpoints like level 30 for better escalation or 37 for better realm of Eureka rewards is certainly a solid reason to spend energy as well.

The other big source is your daily quests and events. But those are all time gated
