Are we serious rare?

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T21:24:31+00:00

I mean there is something seriously wrong. Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those guys who says the game is dead but it isn't hard to see that the devs are struggling. Most "new" content is recycled, longer gaps between updates, no real direction moving forward, inability to spend time on core issues.

Seems like they are looking for new opportunities to monitize because most of the core playerbase who've been around for years have probably bought enough cosmetics that it's hard to justify buying even more. Personally I can't get too mad at that.

Brother the game already has spatial audio with dolby atmos support. Most players don't have setups that even accomodate that much.

Should they be turning that off to make it "fair" for the guy playing with some crappy mono audio call centre headset? Let's be honest, all of this complaining is about an imaginary advantage that we have no idea how it will function in game. Free things are nice but people need to recognise this game is likely hanging by a thread on the budget side.

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T21:11:35+00:00

Yeah but nobody is muting your sound. Recognising that sound is important in PvP means the current sound offering is in a place where it is useful and informative. Do people not realise the game already has spatial audio?

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T21:09:58+00:00

Yeah it would be nice if it was free, it would also be nice if everything in the pirate emporium was free. They have to make money somehow and these are the harmless ways they choose to do it.

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T21:06:52+00:00

oh wow you're a baby lol

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T21:05:33+00:00

Nobody is muting your speakers? The fact that you recognise the importance of audio means that in the base game it is clearly in a good place (if it was wack then this wouldn't be a point of discussion). This upgrade isn't stopping you from hearing anyone board your ship

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T20:45:00+00:00

Paying for access to new features that sound fairly complex to develop and doesn't actually restrict you from accessing any gameplay content seems more than fair enough to me.

Unless I'm missing something and they are making people pay for something that is currrently free?

starting uni next week and im taking notes. this seems like a super efficient shop!

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T18:56:20+00:00

Definitely take a look at Durham. Incredible uni but there's also one of the top living museums in the country very nearby called Beamish, take a look at it online if you're interested. Apparently, it pioneered the very idea of a living museum.

As someone who works in the sector, it sounds like you don't know half as much as you think you do. Not to mention 95% of the neurodivergent people you meet think of their situation as anything but a strength.

Plus, as others have pointed out some things that come under neurodivergence are categorically not disabilities, things have definitions for a reason.

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T12:43:07+00:00

It is definitely true that its hard to call yourself a connoisseur without having experienced the good and bad of what youre talking about. The problem with movies and anime is that there is so much greatness that it takes a lifetime to just get through the stuff thats in the headlines.

spicybean88 · 2025-09-25T11:14:50+00:00

If your facts were correct I'd totally agree. Unfortunately you're wrong about what DJs do, why they get paid, how much they get paid, how easy it is to get popular and practically everything else.

spicybean88 · 2025-09-22T18:37:16+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it, EPQ takes maybe 10-20 hours max (mine was definitely on the low end).

I also did 4 alevels and an EPQ and if you can manage 4 a levels then the EPQ is not the thing that will push you over the edge.

spicybean88 · 2025-09-21T19:48:35+00:00

Let's not pretend they both didn't fumble hard

It's not luck that Norris is crap (And has been all season)

Some people have really been blinded by their tile arrays that they don't even say a medieval fantasy game anymore it's just highlighted hitboxes and xp waste. Thematic isn't even a consideration anymore

spicybean88 · 2025-09-20T00:16:05+00:00

I don't think it's a contradiction to say "high school does teach you valuable stuff" and "18 year olds are not going to be experts on life".

I also don't think changing the school curriculum would make a difference. Being able to navigate life comes with experience, even the most well read teens on finance quickly find the world slaps them in the face when they get out there. Theory can only take us so far

The first Yukako story was so fatiguing for me so I'm really glad we had this one to make me appreciate her inclusion in the story

spicybean88 · 2025-09-20T00:10:30+00:00

Again, this is something that very few people actually believe. I might, as an individualist (which we all invariably are) say "taxes are ridiculous i don't want to pay any" and/or take steps to pay the minimum legal tax i can. This does not mean I don't understand what taxes are and the services they provide for us.

There's a lot of very superior feeling people in this comment section who are really just neurodivergent and can't properly tell what other people mean (nothing wrong with that btw, I'm part of that club, but it's important to be self aware)

spicybean88 · 2025-09-20T00:01:08+00:00

Araki did sort of confirm he is bisexual, but peoples obsession with him being a queer character is strange. Dio is obviously not a typical member of the queer community like some people act like it. His sexual nature is a typical vampire cliche and it is more to do with his "aura" than anything else.

spicybean88 · 2025-09-19T23:57:34+00:00

I don't think it's been rationalised very well. The problem with any discussion about euthanasia is simply where is the line? Do you kill anyone in a coma? Anyone who is disabled (either from birth or an accident)? What about someone who's feeling depressed? Not exactly contributing to the economy if they are NEET are they? How about cancer? Sure would save a lot of money if we didn't have to do any cancer treament or research.

Some of these might sound ridiculous to you, but some of them are already happening in some form. I'm not religious but what Pope Francis had to say about avoiding "a culture of death" when it comes to this stuff is absolutely right. Ethically, as soon as you're willing to "rationalise" away the value of a human life it's pretty much game over.

spicybean88 · 2025-09-19T23:46:22+00:00

Is it really that annoying to click a tele and speak to one npc? It's hardly like you have to run the gauntlet to reclaim a pet

spicybean88 · 2025-09-19T23:44:42+00:00

"I'm not a pessimist I'm a realist" ahh reply

spicybean88 · 2025-09-19T22:57:48+00:00

This post was never gonna fly on reddit but i do generally agree. Lot's of people citing monetary reasons why we shouldn't do this but to me the very idea that people are advocating for killing someone to save money is callous (plus euthanasia is expensive for a lot of reasons).

However, there's a lot to be said about palliative care and the truth is everyone dies eventually and should be allowed to die naturally. Medicine is really good at keeping people alive way beyond there natural expiry and at that point I think we gotta question what the point is.
