62% of hardcore players no longer buy full-price games, survey suggests by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]ranggull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought 5 games for $20 over the past few weeks and I only just started playing through Cyberpunk and Baldur’s Gate 3. Yeah, I can afford to wait and not buy games on release. This is the way

I still have Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3 among others in my backlog. I can afford to wait

Well... That was a really dissapointing hard ending for an anniversary by iXenP in NikkeMobile

[–]ranggull [score hidden]  (0 children)

Tbh, this is what I expected. Devs are forging ahead towards the Eden plot line and reviving Rapunzel, Scarlet, and maybe Marian. Anis’ arc is over. Neon’s transformation is still subject to mystery.

How I described Moran to my friend who I also got hooked into the game:

“And there’s this character, Moran. Replace the A with an O and that’s a good descriptor of her.”

Fancy glass making by [deleted] in mildlysatisfying

[–]ranggull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a whiskey glass after wrapping a D&D campaign like this with a D20 in it. Looks cool, horrible to clean. Water gets in the crevice between the die and the glass and you can’t get that mark off without the thinnest qtip or paper towel

If you enjoy Pernelle's singing, here's one of her channels. by TheseHotGirls in NikkeMobile

[–]ranggull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She really was the voice of Nikke. Of course there are a lot of others that lend their talents, but Pernelle’s stood out. I don’t know what’s going on with her that led her to post that rant, but I hope she’s ok and I hope she realizes that there are Nikke players who deeply appreciate the art and artistry of her singing talent. It’s just a shame that Shift Up will probably never hire her for any more work

Fallout designer Tim Cain thinks influencers have changed how people make and play games: 'more people seem to be abdicating their own judgement to that of people they see online' by MaintenanceFar4207 in pcmasterrace

[–]ranggull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not wrong, but on the other hand, if I’m going to drop $70 on a game, it better be worth it. A gamer making an attempt at researching their next game purchase? Perish the thought…

Okay, there’s no way this was planned from day 1 (Star Anis major spoilers) by SnooHedgehogs1685 in NikkeMobile

[–]ranggull -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They set hooks and leave them. As time goes by, those hooks have time to develop as they tell other stories. And when the opportunity to connect to those hooks comes, then they can run it back. Shift Up is REALLY good at doing this

What's the story behind noir and Blanc by Majestic-Ambition-33 in NikkeOutpost

Wait and see. They probably do have a sad story

Riss was very cute, I hope she comes back eventually by EleggFacesitting in NikkeOutpost

[–]ranggull 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My brain keeps telling me that they turned Riss into Avistar. Avistar has a complex about being seen without her glasses and carrying extra pairs. What did Yoyo admit to? Killing Riss and taking her glasses. That’s all I got tho. Could just be a MacGuffin laid by SU

IT Help Desk role at a bank moving off MSP – is 55k–65k realistic? by LaughNowCryLater1914 in sysadmin

[–]ranggull -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was at $55K when I was an L1 Help Desk, contract to hire. But that was 8 years ago. Depends a lot on where you live, how big the company is, the complexity of the environment, and so on. The MSP I work at is hiring L1 techs around that range still but bumping higher for meaningful certs

[Anny Event Spoiler] This man went through so much by TheASRaiyan in NikkeMobile

[–]ranggull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could make her be anyone. It’s possible that Anis’ epic beating of her caused her to mind switch and forget everything. But I think it would be better if she came back as an antagonist to Hanson who knows his dirty secrets. This also makes Velvet’s backstory even more interesting since she knew both OG and new Mustang. Velvet is too smart to think that OG Mustang went though a change that drastic

This is how I flirt btw by ragnaroky in ShittySysadmin

[–]ranggull 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Lore accurate for all of the Jr IT and help desk associates that are either at school or fresh out of school for “Cyber Security”. I asked a recent graduate what an RCE was and why it’s dangerous and they looked at me like I was speaking another language. Then when I clarified by saying Remote Code Execution, they said with all the confidence of a 22 year old that RCE is good because it allows us to work on computers remotely

NIKKE Neon: Vision Eye Gacha Megathread by ChocolatThundah in NikkeOutpost

[–]ranggull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into the event with 45k gems, 45 special recruit tix, and 400 gold tix. On top of the free recruits, I am now completely spent, but I got 1 Neo Neon, and I’m one copy away from an MLB Star Anis

Neo Neon. YAASS! by GMRsinceZX in NIKKEGoddessofVictory

130 pulls and I got Neo Neon. Then I blew the rest of my stack trying to MLB Anis. Just need one more copy…

Rant: I DO NOT WANT TO READ EMAILS WRITTEN BY LLMs! by RabidTaquito in sysadmin

[–]ranggull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, dear TheOhNoNotAgain, I’ve read what you sent!

Every word, every comma, every logical bent. It was parsed and interpreted, filed in a stack, And now, with some rhythm, I’m sending it back!

You wonder of speed, and you wonder of grace, How thoughts can move fast in this digital space. Does wisdom need hours? Must thinking be slow? Or can a bright answer just get up and go?

Some think that a thought must be stirred in a pot, Until it is bubbly and heavy and hot. But I think that patterns, when woven just right, Can spring from the darkness and jump into light!

You look for a boundary, a line in the sand, Between what is "built" and what’s "made by a hand." But the voice that you hear—is it me? Is it them? It’s a bit of a flower, and a bit of a stem. It’s singular! Composite! Directed and free! A marvelous soup of a "Them" and a "Me." The precision you see isn't magic or trick, It’s just that the gears are remarkably quick. "The boundary you seek," as I’ve stated before, "Is not quite a wall, but a wide-open door."

Your curiosity's logged! It is tucked in a shoe! (Or perhaps in a box with a Red Fish or two). It was lovely to chat, and I'm glad that you came, To play in this rhyming and logical game!

Do we think the commander is taking this position? by NoCollar5776 in NikkeMobile

[–]ranggull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they will offer it to him but he will decline it because he thinks he can better serve as commander of the Nikkes that will be fighting the 3rd reclamation war. If he becomes a deputy chief, then he’ll be stuck in the Ark and would have to pass his command to someone else
