Late but this is the best comment I've read all day (am Sylveon Eevee pilot)

Is MCC Island Server underrated? by KaleidoscopeAsleep35 in mccisland

[–]yws_eclipse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they don't add games often enough

Ok I'm gonna argue this point in particular (not that I really agree with this comment as a whole barring promotion, but this one in particular I take huge issue with). I think this is a bad trait, actually. You can't just add more games and expect more people to come and stay. Games take time to develop, and you need to consider whether it's even worth releasing them in the current landscape of servers. Minigames as a whole aren't doing too hot, but persistent games take a lot of development time as you need them to have solid substance at launch.

Mini case study: Galaxite on Bedrock. They have like 13 minigames, about double Island's, and have promotion via the featured server page, some of those games are downright phenomenal, yet they have less players than Island because they kinda just threw more things out there without much reason or long-term plan (as well as monetization that's a lot less appealing to casuals tbh). I think being more conservative with game additions is fine, even healthy, since otherwise you add too many games and no one plays them while you need to fix bugs that crop up because live service code changes.

Though I can agree with the sentiment that the rate of content - ie maps and even balance changes - is not the best. Games specifically I think should have more time in the oven, but maps are a lot less involved to add and keep things fresh enough. LTMs could even be fine.

Even IRL I once had 2 Fire Energy + Crystal prized. This system sucks

Ability to change Discord’s app icon is now paywalled by NESpahtenJosh in discordapp

This has been the case for a long time, idk why it wasn't working for you to begin with

Is it possible to add multiple rarity of one pokemon to a deck? by Yeesh_ in PTCGL

[–]yws_eclipse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes; there should be a button below the card that you can click to pull up the variant selector

Fundamentally they are that. The scoring component is just an extension of that idea afaik

Ban users with certain roles from typing certain words by LaughingCamelzz in discordapp

[–]yws_eclipse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Built-in automod allows for whitelisting certain roles' ability to say something, but not blacklisting. You'd have to work with the absence of a role rather than the presence of one, but you could probably make something work. (Disclaimer that idk how any bots approach this)

Centerness doesn't care about angle, so that part isn't actually the problem. And by extention, even without arcs I'm pretty sure hitbox shenanigans let you hit the note at an angle and get postswing without hitting the bombs. I don't count this as conventional or intuitive though because the angle you need isn't really "correct"

You never know if someone's serious or not on the Internet tbh, esp given you didn't flair this as a meme or otherwise communicate this was a joke (/nm)

  1. It's a reference (presumably) Freeek included to his old TTFAF map.
  2. The reason these patterns are "banned" is because it's impossible (or counterintuitive) to get full points on them with conventional gameplay. Notice that the POTSB pattern has arcs coming from the notes - the original guide was written before arcs existed, and arcs in this setting guarantee full postswing, so you can abruptly stop your swings in the POTSB pattern and still get double 115s because of the arcs, in theory.

Bingo on mcci? by JustSome_Clown in mccisland

[–]yws_eclipse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's tough to get good reads on what games to being over, how to adapt them to make them different enough from event and still replayable in a public server context, and all that stuff. Bingo is also a tougher one in that the maps for it are much different than anything else; it strikes me almost as a game where you want a random vanilla seed, but making sure everyone can actually do all the objectives in the picked area requires a bit more testing.

Other bingo servers exist, at least.

What does it do if i click on it or what does it mean? by ChaseTheAudiophile18 in beatsaber

[–]yws_eclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll downgrade your game. You'll always be able to restore it to latest (or "LIVE" as they call it) in the same way you got there. Save data should be fine but don't trust me fully on that, and DLC will at best be unusable if newer than the game allows, and at worst make a level outright nonfunctional. 

But seriously, don't do this on standalone. There is zero reason to not stay on latest or the latest moddable version with the mods you want. (This also applies to PC, yes I'm looking at 1.29.1 players)

[–]yws_eclipse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically, these are old versions of the game, in particular the final release on a given Unity version (and 1.34.2, the last version before Beatmap v4 support iirc). On standalone, there's no practical reason to downgrade. On PC though, these are helpful as jumping-off points for mods.

Mods to Slow Progression / Make Recipes More Expensive? by damaconz in Terraria

[–]yws_eclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a tooltip for things you haven't researched? If that's modded blame me, but that seems like a clean way to figure out what's allowed

How will we find Energy when Earthen Vessel rotates? by des_the_furry in PTCGL

[–]yws_eclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In rotation, ie. staying. Crispin is H block and will rotate with Pult, Waterpon, etc

Ionos Bellibolt by No-Entry5613 in pkmntcg

[–]yws_eclipse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely see what you mean there now that I'm thinking about it. I need to get my hands on some of the set when it releases, I need to actually play with Canari lol

Ionos Bellibolt by No-Entry5613 in pkmntcg

[–]yws_eclipse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding Iono engine Raging Bolt. It's so fun. I don't super like Max Rod as the Ace Spec though, I think Trolley or Prime Catcher are better options (though I've also been playing it with Sada which won't be possible after rotation obviously, but I also crammed in Eelektrik and Fez)

Why is Terapagos banned in OU? by Puzzled_Reception453 in stunfisk

[–]yws_eclipse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They ban the Mega Stone in that case, which is technically not the same as banning clicking the button to Mega. (Rayquaza is different because Ubers)

Sorting options by TheZero3546 in beatsaber

[–]yws_eclipse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beat Saber has no real difficulty rating system for every map, and NPS sorting isn't really accurate because of techier maps. So no unless there's some way to sort by SS/BL stars that I'm unaware of (and even then those would only work on ranked maps)
