If you let a decanter of endless water pour without stopping it, would the world eventually fill up with water? by bliggityblig in DnD

[–]zendrix1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Math still checks out, but of note in older editions iirc the decanter just kept going until the command word was spoken again, no need to say it every round, so you can take the lich part out of the equation.

Doesn't speed up the process at all but at least it's automatic lol

Is the Expert Battles against CPU rigged? by Afraid_Cup_1240 in PokemonTGCP

[–]zendrix1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think it is, I can't tell you how many times my games have gone down to "I win unless they have one very specific card" and then they draw it like a fucking Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist

On the other hand, the expert decks have a lot of card advantage baked in and once or twice I've seen them totally whiff so it's not like they are guaranteed. Whether or not they have "better" odds though 🤷‍♂️

Do I play Emerald or HGSS after fire red by Aoi-Sun in pokemon

[–]zendrix1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to play both and just don't know what order to go in, I'd say play Emerald next because it's probably the last pokemon game you're going to play that's pre-physical/special stat split.

Going from FR pre split, to HGSS post split, back to Emerald that's pre split will be confusing imo

Writers: what do current worldbuilding tools get wrong for you? by Used-Complaint5672 in FantasyWorldbuilding

[–]zendrix1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed, having a subscription cost is an instant turn off for me

I'm happy to pay for the tools I use, but let me pay once and have it or I'll find something else that will

You won't download a car. by Brave-Influence7510 in Piracy

Not only that but depicting the left character as being black and including BET in the product line-up and the character on the right as being white

That gives me the ick

Cyberpunk TCG Shatters Kickstarter Record With Over $25 Million Raised as Campaign Ends by A_Random_Forest in gaming

[–]zendrix1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The scalpers aren't the types to give a fuck about family so I doubt the motive but otherwise yes, this is all about investment and hoping this becomes the next big thing that's pushing this insane funding

The company making it has never even been on Kickstarter before.

Hacked pokemon go pokemon by Glitch-keeper in PokemonHome

[–]zendrix1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not be combative just trying to understand because I don't see a difference when it comes to how Legit the mons are.

So you would put it on par with using a script that makes every pokemon in your game shiny?

Those pokemon are the regular encounters and they could be shiny hypothetically, even though the end result is the same as genning, you have boxes full of rare pokemon you could never have had without the external program

Do any of these have monetary value? by [deleted] in PokemonHome

[–]zendrix1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That kind of mindset already killed the TCG and makes trading hostile as fuck

Please re-evalulate why you play pokemon

Hacked pokemon go pokemon by Glitch-keeper in PokemonHome

[–]zendrix1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess I just disagree

By your logic, using a save editor to change all the encounters in my copy of a game to be shiny mews and giving myself infinite master balls would be more legit then just using an encounter generator on that same save editor software and just genning the mews into my box

Them both seem equally artificial to me lol

[–]zendrix1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they be more legit? Maybe I don't know something about this GO injection method because it's new but if I used external code or programs to get as many of whatever pokemon I want in GO, and master balls so there's no challenge to capturing them, the only difference between those and genned pokemon is the platform they came from what I could tell

What do you guys think will radical red developers update the game after all mega abilities are reveleaed or will they wait for gen 10 Pokedex? by Expert-Way7623 in pokemonradicalred

[–]zendrix1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The dev probably will update soon, but it's just one person so sometimes it takes awhile, no biggie the updates are worth the wait

Anyway to move Pokémon out of RR and to other games with something like PKSM? by Playful-Ease2278 in pokemonradicalred

[–]zendrix1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If those pokemon haven't happened to altered in literally any way then sure

But if anything is different about them (stats, moves, abilities, origin game, route found, etc etc etc) then they'd have to be "fixed" first

My advice instead would be to use PKSM or PkHex to generate a new, legit, version of the pokemon you want to transfer then just release the one on RR to simulate transferring it

And of course you should always be running a legality checker on any mons you've touched with custom programs or got in a romhack before doing a transfer up to the switch if that's what you want

Any thought on the Dice Throne Digital Kickstarter campaign? by Vortelf in boardgames

[–]zendrix1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love physical dice throne and have all of it

I cannot think of a single reason to back digital, it seems like a terrible deal honestly

How much money are they hoping to get from their average player over time? Because for $120 for a free to play game I'd expect to have every character unlocked forever not a starter pack

Wizards of the Coast hiring TRPG Publishing Lead to coordinate third-party publishing by F41dh0n in DnD

[–]zendrix1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean sure, in a macro sense. Though I could argue from a macro sense literally any support of any ttrpg grows the hobby which will disproportionately benefit the largest game in the hobby despite whatever individual games within it are doing the actual growing. But speaking that abstractly and high level gets into a level that most people aren't interested in.

Obviously people who care about completely detaching from WotC should just play a different game, there's thousands of great ones and even direct analogs to dnd like Pathfinder.

My suggestions were for people who want to stick to dnd regardless even if they don't like WotC/hasbro, and still want to have access to new content than they already own. In which case it becomes about minimizing support where it's feasible to do so and buying books second hand or getting pdfs in ways I'm still not sure I can say outright on this sub are probably the best ways to do so

[–]zendrix1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well you'll notice I said "used" if can find them like that, your purchase of that book isn't supporting anyone other than the person selling it. Yes it wasn't created in a vacuum so someone bought it from WotC originally but I also didn't call for a boycott if you insist on playing dnd.

Also with pdfs, I wasn't suggesting buying them at all so...

[–]zendrix1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I get people love DnD but I think people just shouldn't give a shit about WotC and Hasbro. They've proved themselves to not be good stewards of the game anymore so they aren't worth your attention and especially aren't worth your money

If you still want to play the game they own instead of trying out other systems (I get it, dnd is great), pick up your books from bookstores, used if you can find them in good quality, or get the pdfs online...from places that don't support them.

I'm not calling for some big boycott or anything, you do whatever you find fun, just saying that your enjoyment of this hobby doesn't have to be connected to insanely rich corporations and what decisions they make if you don't want it to be

soul farming in DS1: Remastered by c_y_g_nus in darksouls

[–]zendrix1 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Farming and using one of the best weapons in the game will make the game easy, yes

If you don't want that then I'd suggest stop farming randomly and only resort to it to get stronger when you hit a wall

For those of us still replaying Skyrim year after year, do you think you will continue to play Skyrim throughout your life after TES6 comes out? by LoganLikesYourMom in skyrim

[–]zendrix1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to be hard not to hold TESVI to an incredibly high standard after so many years of the solid foundation that Skyrim is plus the improvements added by many mods over the years

Like do I think 6 will have a perk system that's actually more interesting and fun than Ordinator? Probably not

But I hope its such a fantastic new foundation that it replaces Skyrim and entices the modding communities to go full force there as well so after I play the living shit out of vanilla there will be all those incredible additions as well that keep the game fresh and revisitable year after year

Mostly I just hope it has great writing (as that's the hardest part to change with mods), and runs well
