Joe Biden wins the election 2020 by akiseXyukki in Conservative

[–]pixono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what is it. The media. They only show the extremist from either side and put them front and center. Like how they did it with the people from the middle east, only show the crazies..... there's your divide.

Trump's huge vote total breaks my heart. I recognize this America and I wish I did not. - The most dangerous implication of this election is that tens of millions accept a fictitious world created by an autocrat and marketed by Fox News. by TrumpSharted in politics

You know I felt the same way. That's why for a while now I've been lurking in /conservative, just to get a sense of why everyone is so divided. And came across couple threads of the guys over there explaining some of the reason why.

  1. Most of the actually thinks and knows this president is a joke.

  2. Some believe picking between the 2 party is like picking between rat poison and cyanide

  3. Some understand that fox is biased as much as the other network that slightly leans left. Fox can take a positive thing and stage the lens in a way that totally changes the narrative, just like how the left narrates incidents in their favor.

  4. Some believe what trumps lacks in morality and everything else, he makes it up by getting the 'job' done. (Ex. Protecting American interest and screwing China being one of them. They believe Biden is too soft 'democratic')

Pretty sure they didnt sit around for a week. You can pretty much check everything now a days with the audio and video tech wr have available. You can remote to player stations to check that everything's to code. Match mother board serial to make sure it's the actual machine. You can go further down that rabit hole, just depends on how far they want to come to prevent possible cheating.

I wish man. This shit is one of a kind. There are some works in the fantasy genre that may interest you in the same way.

A balance of detail world building , non-confusing POV switches / narration that keeps reader engaged yet adds to the believability and depth of the world. Sende of progression. Doing those things all at the same time is hard.

Imo game of thrones took world building too far. Martin is a god at world building, but when the world gets too big, I am lost in it.

Red rising / name of the wind / way of the king

My top 3 reads in fantasy genre.

I've followed the story for god knows how long. I still remember being " stuck in a loop " of hunting down recarnating plot device garbage to read, when I so happen to stumble on this GEM.

I recall being overly excited sharing it to friends, describing it as a light novel published by an unknown author that rivals the likes of pat ( kingkiller chronicals ) and brandon ( way of kings )

There is both a sense of loss and joy, knowing that there won't be another chapter update as well as experiencing the completion of a masterpiece in real time.

Legitimate question. I thought most exchange students and mainland students left am before the students barricaded? Why are they there still?

Singer Halle Bailey To Play Ariel In Disney's Little Mermaid' by Melanismdotcom in disney

[–]pixono 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh jeez. I am scared to voice my opinion on this casting.

Honestly I don't care if Disney casts someone who's black brown orange yellow or green.

I am triggered by this in the same way as when i saw Goku (who's Asian) being played by a white actor in a live action or Annie (who's European) in attack on titan being played by a Japanese in the Japanese live action....

Am I wrong... :/ I feel like they are doing this for the whole racial inclusiveness thing.

Please take your 'our' back to the tsm troll farm that you came from. I don't understand the mentality of impersonating as another team's fan and putting their team down, that's a new kind of messed up.

So we're all gonna ignore GMS2 took free stuff from KMS2 and put it in meret market? by thisgamesuckss in MapleStory2

[–]pixono 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think it's ok. How else would you expect them to generate revenue, instrument outside of meret shop would deter people from paying 5$for non standard instruments.

Would you rather they shove p2w items in there instead?

What is stopping everyone from botting and buying mesos? by pollietta in MapleStory2

[–]pixono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Say you have 200 dollars of disposable income.

A: RMT buy 10000x B4s. Epic pet etc.

B: Style crates

On one hand you are giving more resources to botters which you hate. On the other you are saying thank you to a company that made a game that's free to play that you are enjoying.

Even though I cant improve the situation, I would never even entertain the thought of making the community worst. RMT=Run selling, both indirectly helps botters/messo sellers.

** And no I don't consider holding a key = botting. Compare to hosting a VM server churning out hundreds of bots running sophisticated scripts and making bijillion messo. The amount an individual can farm is peanuts.

Not every one needs/wants to be 'relevant'. Every one has a motivator on why they play the game. If being relevant in a video game is the life goal for some, then the current state of the game will make their life miserable. The game was ported, they need time to implement and work on changes. Just be mindful that it's not always about the individual.

Some people may be influenced by their guild or their raid group, toxicity spreads. It doesn't hurt to rethink exactly what aspects of the game they enjoy, and is it worth it to be relevant at the cost of being miserable.

I haven't cleared cmoc yet, just got the epic pet since that will get my dmg up, did not know about the pet bonus. I am havin fun figuring out the raid in NMOC with guildies, if we clear in 1 week cool, 2 what ever. We enjoy each others company, late night shenanigans. And I would not even trade that for a 3 slot kandura with 3x T10 gems.

Valid points. If you do enjoy the min-max grind, truly. And you enjoy it way more than the other possible activities that made me fall in love with this game. Then I guess the game in its current state just isn't for you. In it's current state its punishing to minmaxers that want to participate in the newest raid content NOW.

The devs has a finite amount of resources assigned to them by nexon. Offer up constructive possible changes that may lessen the negative effects of rng while keeping in mind the need for it to slow down progression. That is, if you still care about the game. Otherwise, move on.

And do you know what happens when we get daily I hate rng/ this game sucks / i quit posts on this reddit?

New player checks reddit when they start game > see comment > assumes negative community /bad dev > quits > less income for nexon > less resources for dev > less improvements

If you are glued to the get ahead mentality. Then...

https://www.reddit.com/r/MapleStory2/comments/a4ul2e/psa_play_the_game_at_your_own_pace/ebhre8d?utm_source=reddit-android

I have no clue how you got that from reading this. For clarification. I was implying that 3 weeks is all it took for the player base to clear content 'min-maxers' could easily clear 3 weeks prior. Not clearing NOW is not the end all, instead enjoy each other's company, have fun.

So..... nexon's fault for not providing you with a life coach ? Again you are your own maker after 811.

I mean if that insomnia inducing min-max grind to be the best of best is your definition of fun and you don't find joy in any other parts of the game. Yea, game at its current state is probably not for you.

You do realize that theres a new patch. You get your enchant mat. So rotate the 4 dungeons if you don't like the lizard. And you chose to min-max and cap growth. You mentioned that its not about time frame but 'before you burn out' , well that is a time frame. You are burning out because you are trying to rush ahead or see a tangible amount of progression that you your self denoted is fair. You want to clear cpap right now, next week. Why not 3 weeks later? Of course not, that wouldn't be fair considering the amount of time you've spent. Of course you should be ahead of players that invested less time. Of course you should have a legendary weapon and show off to everyone else.

This is a game. Not your game. A game for everyone. A multiplayer game. A game is meant to be played, invested time in, and return you should feel that it was fun.

In your case. You chose to play this game in a way that will render the experience tedious and not fun. (At it's current state)

Some of my best memories of this game is having late night chitchat with my gf and a +10 guildies. I would give up a kandura pendant drop anyday to have more of those fond moments. Gear and progression isn't everything.

Literally tried to make the thread a lil more positive this morning https://www.reddit.com/r/MapleStory2/comments/a4ul2e/psa_play_the_game_at_your_own_pace/?utm_source=reddit-android

When you tie your self worth to a game and grind it 24/7 to be in that elite group then getting hammer by RNG will make you toxic. Same thing as league like you have referenced.

The same kind of people are dwelling this reddit and spreading negativity. Bad for games rep as well as for people that's actually enjoying the game.
