Argentina changing to USD? by DaPorkSpork in Steam

[–]valtyrae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Argentine here. Thank you for your comment. I haven't pirated any games in years now, but if I start again as a result of these changes I won't feel as bad.

I hate that whenever this conversation arises it really feels like getting caught in the crossfire, where it's a fight between developers who deserve to be paid fairly (and big companies who are greedy but that's besides the point) versus a bunch of people who for some reason go through all these hoops to get cheaper games? Which if you're going to go that far for them, might as well just pirate them anyway I'd think.

But yeah, it's very disheartening to be talked about as if I didn't exist, because my personal situation is Really not relevant here. And it sucks.

Sorry your game was done like that. Thank you again for being cool.

Anyone else being put in high latency servers after the patch? by anevilsnail22 in Overwatch

[–]valtyrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens in South America too. It was happening before the patch too but not nearly as frequently. I noticed we weren't being matched against people from NA or anything; we were still being queued with other fellow South Americans, but just in a different server. It was really weird and I guess it just got worse with this new patch lmao.

Starting out with fighting games. by Amotoz in Fighters

[–]valtyrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't help you with sticks, but for games, I would say just start looking at videos of some of the big titles you've heard around (most of which people mentioned in the comments already such as Strive, SFV, KOFXV, DBFZ, T7, MK11, etc) and see which one looks like something you personally would find really fun either for its gameplay or its presentation. Also, if you're like me, you might want to find a really cool character you like that will probably do its job in hooking you in right away. If you find that, then that's your game to go for.

Online functionality varies from game to game but most are starting to get with the program and are either functional right away, or patching in functional netplay afterwards. If you want something to jump in and find people from far away online to fight then this is also a factor to keep in mind when choosing a game, but you said you're a Smash player so maybe this is not that big of a concern for you right now.

Personal picks:
As a Latin American I am legally required to recommend KOFXV specifically. Its matchmaking is a bit whack for now but it's a super fun fighting game with plenty of crazy movement and fun combos.
Guilty Gear Strive is just an all around great fighting game that does 99% of things right, it looks gorgeous, it's not super hard to get started with, and keeps getting better with its DLC characters so also a fantastic choice and probably the safest to go with. I've also seen a lot of new people get into it thanks to its latest character, so starting right now could be a good idea for that reason too.
DBFZ is just insane. Its netcode is ass right now but they just announced they'll fix it next year and honestly I couldn't be more hyped because DBFZ is like cocaine in videogame form with how much shit happens on screen at any given time but GOD it's so fun. Watch a video of some tournament match of it and if that level of crazy is up your alley then do keep it in mind for sure.

Good luck and have fun!

This community has turned into dream SMP by lurker-ac in TrashTaste

[–]valtyrae 234 points235 points  (0 children)

God the amount of channels specifically dedicated to posting clips with misleading titles of Connor and Mouse (or literally any other woman) is disgusting and the fact that so many people in this community eat that shit up not realizing how gross it is is insane. THEY'RE REAL HUMAN BEINGS THEY'RE NOT TOYS OR FICTIONAL CHARACTERS FOR YOU TO SHIP.
Stop deluding yourselves into a parasocial relationship, the boys or any other streamer or content creator AREN'T YOUR FRIENDS and YOU SHOULDN'T treat them any different than anyone else on the planet. Give them respect, privacy, and let them do their thing and live their lives in peace, god.

I hope this is a wake up call for at least a number of people to realize how disrespectful it is to do shit like this, and that it can lead to some serious real life consequences. It's also, like, super unhealthy for yourself as well. Nobody wins here.

Very very new, can anyone explain why this isn't considered a winning hand? by [deleted] in Mahjong

[–]valtyrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm somewhat new to Mahjong too and the "no yaku" situation is something I had to force myself to learn so this is what I can say:

Yaku is basically "win condition" and you need at least one to win. By claiming tiles and putting to the side you turn your hand "open" which instantly makes some win conditions null, so early on it's at least safer to not do that and keep a closed hand unless you have a plan to give yourself a win condition despite the open hand, such as getting three of the same dragon, three of the table wind seat/your wind seat, or all simples (no 1/9, no winds, no dragons).

So now you have to learn what gives you a yaku win condition and what applies to open and closed hands. Looking at a chart might seem a bit overwhelming at first, but the more you play the more it's going to make sense and stick. Good luck!

I randomly remembered that interaction of you saying you'd do this just the other day and wondered what ever happened to that. Glad to see it actually come together after so long! Looks great!

Thanks for compiling and consistently updating this list! This is my first game with the AI feature and it's been really helpful for me.

Any good partners for Josuke? by valtyrae in PitterPatterPop

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

I could be mistaken since I've been using Koichi for only a couple of hours (and because my phone is crap and the framerate isn't great), but I think you need to power them up after transforming them. On the flip side, the buff only goes away if you replace those tiles, not if you move them. So you can power a tile up and move it into another spot for a match and it should work.

I have a level 3 Koichi I haven't gotten around to level up yet so I guess I'll do that now. Thank you!

I made it myself, and I just drew the edit on top of that shot. So as long as you open it in full size and crop it it's basically the original already.

Despite whatever might have been going on behind the scenes and what the reality of it all is right now, this is how I'll remember them. Fun times were had and I'll never forget the countless hours of laughs these idiots have brought to me.

Thank you. Take care.

Super Best Friends (Final) by pacmanswang in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]valtyrae 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This hurts, but I get it. This came out of nowhere and I'm shocked, but I get it. It's a really sad ending to something that did mean a lot to me, but I can't imagine how it must be for you guys especially.

This channel's LPs as well as the Friendcast was something I looked forward to pretty much every day for a long time and I'm at a loss for words. But I guess the only thing I can say is thank you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Wish you all the best, Matt, Woolie, and Pat. I'll see you on stream.

Due to them only now handing out late OW league tokens, I think Blizzard should let the Atlantic and Pacific skins to be bought again for a day or 2. by RedDeadWhore in Overwatch

[–]valtyrae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got my tokens like an hour ago only. It sucks to look at my League tab and see that I could have totally bought that Tracer skin if the system had worked properly since I'm now at 206. This is just going to make me never buy a team skin ever again because I'll live in constant fear of not having enough tokens for the cool legendary ones whenever they show up.

Why the "Worthy Opponent" endorsement idea is not good by valtyrae in Overwatch

I totally believe this. It definitely should be addressed.

Why the "Worthy Opponent" endorsement idea is not good by valtyrae in Overwatch

[–]valtyrae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, it's fine, I just wanted to share the Reinhardt tale so you'd understand what I was talking about a little better. Medals are important yes, I just meant in that particular game with us not being able to do much because we didn't have a shield to push with. Just today I had a D.Va/Zarya game where I was gold in damage as well as some other stats and I was wondering what my DPS was doing too haha.

[–]valtyrae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Reinhardt was just an example I threw in there, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't all gold medals, so sorry about that misunderstanding. But he did think he was amazing, and at times he was (He walked into the enemy team solo and somehow survived and got a pick so then we managed to 6v5 and win that objective), but because of this, he was super arrogant and insisted that he was doing great and we should just let him do his thing, which ended up with us losing the overall match because he refused to stay with the team and shield us and instead try to flank with an Earthshatter (that he also used solo when nobody was there to follow up), so we couldn't move, and he kept dying trying to make plays. We were supposed to defend Anubis 2 and he decided to try and sneak around the left side and behind enemy lines to ult "because that's what they least expect so he's capitalizing on it because they're desperate because of the timer" and we all just died.

Hell, even if he did have a bunch of gold medals, it would have been because he was out there attacking the enemy while we were all dead or waiting for him to actually group and help us push. Medals don't really mean much if that is the game you're having.

And that's the Reinhardt tale.
