#and people who play the game casually

I feel like we’ve all created our own mineshaft with pillars and everything. Maybe not the spawnable ones (obviously op built them but they look like the ones you can find), but I think this is a universal experience.

also really important addition, OP only uses stone picks:

The time has come, my handsome devil.

man i am real sick of people seeing any complaints/criticisms about an adaptation, and taking that as a personal attack on them if they liked it. Just bc people don't like the thing you do, doesn't mean they're being hostile, or gatekeeping, or mean.

They do not need to justify not enjoying something, or to shut up so you never have to see negativity. If you do not like seeing people have opinions that aren't your own, it's on you to block them, not on them to not post how they feel about the latest big thing in the fandom they've probably been in for years, possibly decades.

i think the reason i don’t vibe with mtg personally is that like i genuinely don’t like it when im playing for fun and the other person or people are like meta analyzing my deck and then they are playing super seriously and have like an insane board wiping deck and then they tell me my deck sucks and it’s like idk man i made this deck For Fun idk what the fuck you’re doing

important to note for anyone lacking context for the kinger post that blaseball was not a typo. rest assured i know nothing about sports but i do know about blaseball. there was a big squid i think and also blood rain and i think some teams broke space-time. and the umpires kept killing the players. but its ok cus they brought some people back from the dead a few times. with peanuts

its more supernatural(? or another similar word) than tadc but i like it and miss it every single day..... (also im shaking the season recap vids like a bag of treats since theyre the best way to learn abt blaseball now that its all over sadly. i wanna rewatch them myself. they dont even have ALL the out there shit that happened. some fans made a band based on one of the teams and made songs about their teams lore. and the music is good)

I love Chii. She basically said "well I can fill up my Ring Gauge quickly if I do like 30 lives with a neon Buzzlume" (pretty clever thing to do) but nope. It's not that easy. You really need a Jewel Buzzlume coord in order to fill it up! Poor girl!!

ok sorry for more eso posting but I tend to lurk on the community and the specific response to "increased overland difficulty" in that new letter is fascinating to me. It's basically 50/50 "THANK GOD! Everyone has been asking for this. This is the most obviously good decision they have ever made!" and

Getting real sick of a certain subset of Destiny players complaining that it’s a baby game and crying to Bungie to nerf exotics and abilities when their ENTIRE POINT IS TO BE STRONG in specific ways as if they are being locked into using them.

IF YOU WANT AN EXTRA CHALLENGE STOP BEING SUCH A DPS GOBLIN AND JUST EQUIP SOMETHING THATS NOT TOP TIER META AND STOP COMPLAINING JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

MOOD. Go off.

It's incredibly annoying to me. They always use the argument of "the game should FORCE me to do things, I should not SELF-IMPOSE challenges." And like. ? I'm sorry but what? It's a video game for a big audience, it's here to be playable and accessible to the widest possible playerbase. There are plenty of ways to make the game difficult for yourself, so knock yourself out if that's your thing, but don't force others into it.

Like, I enjoy hard content, I regularly at least attempt day 1 raids, I do master raids, GMs, solo and solo flawless content and all that. But only when I want to. Sometimes I don't and I don't want to suffer in a patrol zone or struggle in a seasonal activity I'm doing for the story. The majority of the players don't want that. Designing games for the professional gamers only has NEVER been a good idea and never will be. Fifty streamers can't sustain a video game. It needs casual players who will want to come back to the game instead of feeling defeated.

One of the reasons I really enjoy helping others is because I know that casual players tend to struggle in stuff that's basic activity for me. I've seen people unable to get through a strike. I've sat for 10 minutes rezing someone who couldn't do the jump in a seasonal activity. I want those people to be able to play basic content without feeling frustrated and I want them to know that there are people out there who will help them out.

And this doesn't apply just to basic content, although it should start with that. I think all dungeons and raids and everything should be things that all players can complete. Fine, doing a master raid with all challenges should be tough, but it should be achievable with time and practice, not impossible. What a lot of these "pros" want is just completely divorced from reality.

It takes days and days of practice every time a new master raid is out for me and my team (all with thousands of hours of playtime) to get comfortable to finally finish it. We're far from casual players and it still takes a lot of time to be able to finish hard content. Making it even harder is insane to me. Like, if something is so hard that my team full of people, each with 5000+ hours of playtime and a coordinated team that's been raiding together for years now can't finish it, that means it's absolutely impossible for probably 90% of the playerbase. That's wild to me. Raids and GMs should have more people playing them. If master raids are too easy for you, Mr. I-Play-Destiny-For-A-Living, that's on you buddy. Unequip the super god tier god roll meta guns and loadouts or play something else.

And ofc, another excuse they make is "if I don't use meta, I am not going to win a raid race!" Then don't. Idk. Let me play you the tiniest violin. This affects literally nobody except a grand total of 50 people. Run your meta in day 1, and play with random shit otherwise. Play raids with all white weapons. Play without mods. Play without a HUD. Do things solo only. I don't know, make up a way to spice things up for yourself. I'm not interested in that and neither are 99% of the players out there. The game is genuinely hard enough for the majority of the players. On top of that, I am here to feel like a powerful space fantasy superhero. I am NOT here to die to dregs in patrol zones. If there's ONE thing that I know for a fact that put people off from Lightfall (as in this year of Destiny), it's the difficulty changes. They're annoying, frustrating and for some a barrier to entry more than anything else.

genuinely i dont think there needs to be a big extended sonic movie universe. i think 3 movies and a spinoff miniseries are enough. we do not need a bunch of sequels and spinoffs introducing all the characters and adapting every game . to be clear this wasnt prompted by any specific news i was just thinking about it

[squishosaur]

why is twisted wonderland like "i am going to ruin your life maybe destroy your worldview a little bit <3 i am going to make you get attatched to these ridiculously named anime boy versions of disney characters and then watch them go through every trauma imaginable that keeps getting progressively worse and more complex as we keep going. i am going to fundamentally change you for better or worse and you will never be able to watch a disney movie again without thinking of me. i am going to make you watch as these awkward teens navigate through Evil Highschool and you have to find Your place in it, knowing fully well that, at the end, after all of that, you will leave all your friends and return to your own world alone again" but also "omg hey girl do you want to see your babygirl as a bunny or a plushie perhaps? say yes"

Genuinely surprised by people who love mobile games in general not understanding that the impermanence of them due to EoS and app store removal is a feature, not a bug, of the entire premise of many to most them.

Even the non-live service ones often eventually stop being supported because mobile devices get new OS updates and the old stuff isn't being maintained and updated for compatibility.

So i got my mum to start playing infinity nikki a few days ago, maybe a week idk, because I knew she'd like it. and today I messaged her about the update, basically just saying "idk how far youre in but they retconned a bunch of shit, it confused me for a start so jsyk" and she replied saying "yeah I was wondering if that was a normal update or not, thank you, I'm loving the new characters and everything so far!" which makes sense because the seer or whatever her name is, is SUCH a (specifically my) mum-coded character

but it is a little funny to go from talking to my mum about it and her being all ":D!!!!!" over everything to going on the reddit page and seeing this
