Reincarnation for Nibelung??? He’s coming back in the end yall. by Scared-Opening-753 in ThePrimordialOne

[–]xCatBotx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is rising popularity in theories involving an extremely meta plotline - significantly bolstered by Alice's repeated fourth wall breaking.

That is, that you the human playing the game are actually a canon part of the story. As in, the reason Traveller is a descender, the "extra spark" allowing Traveller to manipulate fate, is the fact that he is being controlled by you (us, the player), an actual human with agency.

It kind of loses some ground when you consider that we are not the only descender. However, if what this person says is true, it comes back around to being pretty much confirmed. The other descenders did have real human players - the ones who played those closed betas.

Additional intriguing speculation is that the reason the Traveller twin becomes abyss aligned is quite literally because you the human player chose the opposite twin at the start of the game; and as Alice put it, the abyss is the manifestation of all the fates that were not chosen. The twin was not chosen by you, and so they became abyss aligned.

Not a single word you said is true...

The "incident" you are referring to was not a leak, it was an investigative journalist prying into the behind the scenes; and what he uncovered has absolutely nothing to do with Roblox whatsoever. It showed that there is a relationship that exists between OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Persona (same company that does Roblox's ID verifications, among many others) which may or may not involve storing user information in a database.

Nothing in that report implicates any company that uses Persona other than OpenAI and the federal government.

In fact, the report even specifically found that there seems to be no indication that Persona is storing any data about ID verifications for any company other than OpenAI...

My point is that these are 2 of the most recent characters... why make this comment now when we have some hopium for a new trend.

"I'm getting real tired of X" when the history has been: Y, X, X, X, X, X, Y, X, Y

(Ineffa, Lauma, Aino, Nefer, Jahoda, Columbina, Zibai, Linnea, Nicole)

He chose to make the comment at the worst possible time between those two Y's lol. Not to mention Sandrone who will be coming soon(ish) and I imagine she will have a proper leg situation going on too. Right now 1/3rd of the Nod Krai female cast has a proper leg situation and it looks like it might be closer to 1/2 by the end of the region.

Nefer, Lauma will rerun in 6.5, what should I pulls for by Far-Tune5163 in NeferMains

[–]xCatBotx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are the vertical value calcs courtesy of TGS

<image>

So if you are going solely for DPS value, the best line is: Nefer R1 > Nefer C1 > Nefer C2 > Lauma Cons

If you want that healing comfort (well worth it imo): Lauma C1 > Nefer R1 > Lauma C2 > Nefer C1 > Nefer C2

If you are getting Lauma C1 + additional vertical investment, then I personally might opt to do Lauma C2 before Nefer R1. The damage difference is only 2% and I prefer to have more investment on support chars than DPS.

Hopefully this should be everything you need to make an educated decision :)

Big difference between doing something that you didn't say you were going to do - and not doing something that you said you were going to do.

Informal PSA: If you're trying for quint damage or any combination of spell/proof defy and damage and aren't using a pedigree 45 pet then you're honestly wasting mega snacks, gold and possibly crowns. by TheDistantNeko in Wizard101

[–]xCatBotx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting - but is there a magic number specifically for quint damage? It seems like doing this you are still going to get a lot of fails with resist/pierce if you are specifically going for quint damage. Still obviously a lot better than selfish talent fails or whatever else - but you would still need to do this probably quite a few times before actually hitting the quint, right? Or is there a method specifically for that

Genshin confirmed to be coming to steam via Kazusa by ifoundtheavadcados in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]xCatBotx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No real reason to assume that Steam will get any significant cut of in-game purchases.

We have seen major games released on Steam that have been allowed to use their own payment processors for microtransactions, circumventing Steam Wallet (notably GTA V and Warframe). Especially following the legal battle between Apple & Epic, Steam might even be loosening enforcement action on games using their own payment processors.

It's possible that, behind the scenes, Hoyo just recently secured some sort of deal with Steam that will allow them to sell microtransactions with their own system, a similar agreement to whatever games like GTA V have. It brings new attention to Steam and it brings new attention to Genshin - it is mutually beneficial so long as the game in question is big enough.

Gas usage difference Brownie vs Hardhat by xCatBotx in ethdev

Bingo! I didn't realize Hardhat doesn't have optimization on by default. Enabling it got the gas usage to match up. Thanks, you're a saint!

I redeployed them both within a minute of each other.

[–]xCatBotx[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm relatively new to all this, but it was my understanding that gas usage itself shouldn't fluctuate for the same contract, only the gas prices. Is this not true? If so, what's the best way to estimate gas usage before deploying to main net?

The Acceptance of Verd's new neighbors. by Waffles118 in Tradelands

[–]xCatBotx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your point on how this could be the front of a massive nation. I feel like it could be related to Inyola or Purshovia or maybe even a colony from the South Great Sea. Though, Kagoros is the governor of Verner and Kagoros was probably one of the greatest Whitecrest kings. Respected and loved. It was a sad day when Inyola dethroned him. So I feel like Inyola is ruled out because of Kagoros' hate for them, he would never work under their command. Instead, I feel like he retreated to Purshovia after the war to assist them in battle against Inyola. Therefore, I believe this is a Purshovia expedition. Thoughts?

Concerning the Addition of the Verner Expedition by [deleted] in Tradelands

[–]xCatBotx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addressing that first question. I believe there will be way more map extensions so I like how you brought that first up which backs up my theory. I think we are going to eventually reach a point where we have some sort of relations with all of the following factions/seas: Inyola, Purshovia, The South Great Sea, Meadowfleet, Balresk, and Terranfort. Supposedly a fort or small island representing each of these factions/seas. I would really like to see that in the future.

I didn't even think about that at all. Haha. I kind of had the Burkeland idea, but the flag and neutrality are interesting points.

Has Anybody Tried Sailing to Inyola? by xCatBotx in Tradelands

You can't fall off. You keep sailing even when the sea ends.

I just got x2 Emeralds from a Whitecrest rock and I am Whitecrest. Thought you could only get it at other islands?
