In the end
Its still only two players total that actually care about catching it

I was pointing out that the snitch makes turning Quiddich into an actual, playable experience that isn't literally "Oh you're playing as the seeker, you win by grabbing it, also it can't be played in multiplayer"
Quiddich isn't a sport or a game. It's a power fantasy for a hero character, not a team sport.
fringe salmon
also other players could help catch the snitch, just give it to your seeker afterwards or block it so he grabs it
just because that is not what they are supposed to do, doesnt mean that it wouldn't be better to play that way
orchid prism
It'd be rugby all over again, except worse. Entire team trying to block the other team's runner.

Well you don’t win, if you are loosing by too many points. If one team wasn’t defending at all they’d just lose by points
fringe salmon
yes we went over that, a whole 15 points
ashen lark
Well you can definitely do that if no one defends
fringe salmon
so you get to stalemating and just blocking when the other team attacks
fading spade
I thought only the opposing seeker could try to stop the other seeker? Other players can too???
orchid prism
Define "stop" - You're riding around on brooms. In three dimensional space.
fading spade
Block
Get in the way
Etc
orchid prism
You literally can't prevent that.
barren pewter
to be fair
the seeker needs to obtain the snitch
if another player on the team inhales it or some shit
seeker has the privilege of slicing them open to obtain it
since there's one seeker per team, it's a balanced enough role
orchid prism
It's a dumb gotcha that invalidates teamwork and sportsmanship if you've got a good seeker.
barren pewter
except that not every game is won by the seeker
you still need the rest of the team to do well
orchid prism
Only because it was written in script. Gamify this and watch the meta completely disagree.
barren pewter
the Seeker is like an AWP in CS-GO
you'll only really have one per team because of it's severe limitations for most gameplay
but it can royally fuck up your day
if the seeker is good
if not, just completely ignore them
fringe salmon
so get a good seeker and the rest of the team only has to be mediocre
completely unbalanced without drawbacks of an AWP
orchid prism
It's like playing Soccer with two balls. Except one is only for the goalies to touch. And if either scores a goal, anything the rest of both teams did is basically made irrelevant.
barren pewter

3 balls per game
the snitch, the normal ball
and the self propelled one that needs bats of which two per team get
quidditch is a weird game
but in reality
the snitch is a tiny little shit and you'll have two people constantly flying around looking for it and just trying to catch it
success rate is low even if you have a damn good one given a game has a playtime of... 90 minutes or a given score to hit
harry got his first one on a fluke from fuckin ingesting the fucker iirc
barren pewter

yes but also no
again
seeker is a wonderfully limited role and some weird niche case
would make more sense if it was worth something like 10 or 15 points, compared to the one and three of the other two balls if the game is multiple hours or something
ok
so the snitch finder ends the game, or team captains collectively decide to end game
wizarding world lore dictates the longest game was 6 months but no snitch collected
snitch itself is worth 150
so assuming a team has.... 10 to 175 but catches the snitch, they can still lose
fringe salmon
yes, edge cases
also just do your best to tacke the other seeker if you are behind and never agree on the game to end otherwise
the point was not the game is unplayable but that the rules down make sense
but if you change it to make sense could still be bad or people wont like a changed implementation
barren pewter
hear me out
from the perspective of the writer
it might have made more sense to make the rules that fundamentally unbalanced for flow of novel
fringe salmon
which is fine? dont think mansen was saying she should've made them clearer for the book

Great - Again. We're talking about putting - the actual game of quidditch - into a GAME.

would be easy to follow those rules
teams can agree to time-outs
orchid prism
Rules? I'm talking about how easy it would be to just go for the Snitch.
barren pewter
even if fundamentally unbalanced and emphasis on seeker
¯_(ツ)_/¯
there can only be one
although imo
only thing that needs to be done is adding an actual time limit and making the snitch fuckin near impossible to actually catch (like it is in books)
orchid prism
Which is not something you can gamify 😄
barren pewter
sure you can
fading spade
although imo
only thing that needs to be done is adding an actual time limit and...
Yes....

It's canon that games could end up going on for days in the books :')

Mundfish didn’t get targeted by them
Their investors probably did though
And either way
Like Mansen said

At least officially

Yeah, seems like a lot of Russian companies are now "Cypriot"
seems like a realy roundabout way to avoid sanctions but I guess it's working for them?

I mean it's very common practice in Europe for companies to move to Cyprus
It has low taxes
Sanctions or not, Cyprus is a very popular place to base a company in EU 😅
Who cares anyway, they are game developers not Vladimir Putin 😂
orchid prism
Who cares anyway, they are game developers not Vladimir Putin 😂
Sanctions are about economical and political pressure. Doesn't really matter if you're a game developer or an oil company, if you make the same amount of money (obviously not)
fringe salmon
Yea it's supposed to hurt the economy which in turn puts pressure on the leaders of the sanctioned country to then change and not receive the sanctions anymore, ideally
would be ideal if it could only hit the top1% and the government but that's not realistic
narrow epoch
That may be the case
But they moved to Cyprus before the war
So they are not under any russian sanctions and never will be
fringe salmon
I mean, sanctions were imposed on russland long before last year xD
but cyprus has a lot of other issue not solely related to russia that need to be fixed, stupid tax haven island
narrow epoch
Makes perfect business sense to start your company in Cyprus to be part of the EU
Not only for lower taxes but for better overall opportunities for staff
The staff may be located in Russia, but the company is Cypriot
Gives them more access to Europe that way
young hill
fringe salmon
oh yea any small company should take whatever advantage they get, but it shouldn't be possible to basically have a shell company there and thus save taxes and all that
narrow epoch
The tax advantages are a bonus for sure but it's not majorly less
fringe salmon
best example is every cruise ship is sailing under cypriot flag to save tons of taxes, when they got hit by covid however they suddenly begged their local government for tax funds lol
narrow epoch
Like I think Corporation Tax is 19% in the UK?
It's 12.5% in Cyprus
It's no Tax Haven
Anyway, other than the tax benefit it allows them to hire people better
Gives them better opportunities to make a better game 🙂
orchid prism
Just gotta register as a shipping company. Maersk the shipping giant paid a whopping .25% tax in Denmark this year. Quite a lot of drama over it. Yes that is a quarter of a percent 😄

there is a limit to how much one can argue it is used to help promote getting local business started when >90% just use it to dodge billions in taxes elsewhere

I do agree, Dane
That .25 percent is fucking insanely low
Sickeningly so
But if you had it pinned at 20%, they’d fly under a different flag for less, and Denmark would genuinely get fuck all
It is a race to the bottom
hot spire
That is literally the argument from the conservative, blue parties.
Oh no! What ...
I mean they do
And what are you going to do, ban foreign vessels?
You tax the person receiving the containers, not the ship
The person receiving goods has a vested interest in staying domestic
And multi national shipping conglomerate dosent

Since apparently I was not supposed to pour in the cup head on
Definitely one the more unique tastes
barren pewter
Since apparently I was not supposed to pour in the cup head on
yep
pour it down the side of the glass holding it at an angle
nimble current
would be kind of embarassing for amd if intel got their driver game in order before they did
young hill
My parents said the same thing
barren pewter
young hill
It got bacteria stirring it all up
barren pewter
that's because you usually drink kiddie kvass
young hill
Or raw tasting
young hill
I mean again not gonna it was not bad
I drank quite a bit today
My parents and I all did
barren pewter
I had half a litre earlier
young hill
The 2L bottle is all gone
barren pewter
mhm
it has alcohol
and bacteria
nimble current
can't find that stuff anywhere here
young hill
mhm
it has alcohol

Just a bit
barren pewter
all you need in life tbh
nimble current
kinda weird since you can find virtually any type of food and drink here otherwise
young hill
Where you live homeboy
barren pewter
to be fair
this Kvass is made...in North America
most Kvass is made in the baltics or Slavic lands
young hill
Canada to be precise
nimble current
sweden so not that far from the baltics/slavic bloc
young hill
Okay so you are in Europe cool
That does help your case
Find some international store then
Good chance you can find that in the candy/drink section
Also you can use amazon
But I will warn you the price is definitely inflated on there
I paid $77 for 12L on there when today I paid $25 for 10
You could probably get 4-6 L for $25
On Amazon if you cannot find it elsewhere
It was cans doge
nimble current
oof
young hill
oof
But check Google maps or some thing for international grocery stores
Good chance they got some stock
Not everyone is fan of kvass
Will probably be less expensive that way
young hill
I know
But I wanted to drink something at the university
And if I pulled out a 2L bottle people might stop and wtf is that
I wonder if Saraga got kofola
I will check for that next
Also nightman
You can make some
And if you do it way you can get to taste however you want
Since I imagine usually the taste will be kiddie like as doge said from retail store units

doubt it takes a decade to optimize it for PC, sony just optimizing their royalt...
but also this
i miss my ps4
young hill
Then get another one?
slim token
there is no replacing the one i bought
barren pewter
Did you have a fishtank there or something
tbh, my xbox also doubled as a socks drier/warmer, so I totally understand the sentimental value in a console
slim token
young hill
I liked the halo 4 Xbox 360
Was too expensive for a child and now probably no point
It was the management honestly
slim token
the template alone screams of 2013

Still looks hella sick with the lighting and sound effects
Interesting fact
Some of those you could use an emulator to probably play on PC today

japanese booze is shockingly good
that is a part of the culture I indulge in
also the food

Lol
barren pewter
damn it's nice
slim token
have only tasted sake, and it tasted as warm water
barren pewter
that's the beauty of it
you can drink a litre and won't even notice until it's too late
young hill
have only tasted sake, and it tasted as warm water
Was it wet at least?
barren pewter
slim token
maybe when i treat myself to the closet thing to sushi in this desert, i'll have it with some sake
slim token
Was it wet at least?<:mm:638142954841833512>
somewhat dry
young hill
If sushi is too expensive it ain't too difficult to make it
barren pewter
somewhat dry
honestly, some alcohols that are low on sugar can make your mouth feel like that, yeah
barren pewter
Just make sure you treat the rice nice
slap that shit

That reminds some soda I drank at work did the same
Ah right mug root beer

I see
young hill
Well are you able to go to a Chinese buffet
slim token
guy will love kvass
it's sour and bitter
sometimes this hits the spot
reminds me vaguely of beer
young hill
I was about to ask if you like cranberries
barren pewter
sometimes this hits the spot
ooo
that's a good soda
my favourite is lemonata though
slim token
my favourite is lemonata though
by far
i don't like the pom orange
and i can't stop drinking it
young hill
Itz that taste like grandma tomato from the simpsons

the only tomato i remember from the show is tomaco
young hill
and i can't stop drinking it
Pomacco

why can't they make the psmove controllers compatible with steam
it would be great for beat saber

COD Mobile and Genshin impact are now playable on Logitech G Cloud because they added controller touch mapping in the new update
the games still dont support controller input .-.
fading spade
Razer Edge: Ships with older version of Razer Nexus app that does NOT have controller mapping and other features
Also Razer Edge: Cant manually upgrade the Nexus cause it doesnt show up on the Play Store on the device itself
fallow bronze
ppl are still buying razer stuff?
fading spade
Yep
it seems Razer gave up on the Edge in terms of its software and features
Even the regular versions of the apps they make for Android have more support and features than the equivalent versions on the Edge itself
How odd....considering this device costs at least 400 dollars and can go up to 650
And they spent time and money to get a custom made Snapdragon CPU for it
fringe salmon
they didnt really do anything for the SoC though
fading spade
actually yeah, seems to be a rebranded 888+
fringe salmon
qualcomm made that for multiple and the edge is just one device that showcases it
fading spade
by barely no difference
feral ferry
Snapdragon 8 gen 1+ is the shit though
fading spade
yeah!
feral ferry
They fixed the issues that they launched 8gen1 with and look at that, actual decent processor
I dunno how they didn't get much flame for 8g1 launch though, it was literally worse than its predecessor
Last time I remember that happening was 11th gen Intels being worse than 10th gen
And Intel got a ton of shit for that
But I guess peeps don't really care that much about mobile performance, that area is still pretty unpopulated by "subject matter experts"
fading spade
hhhhmmmmm
fallow bronze
phones really do feel fast enough
feral ferry
Idk I am on I think the 730g or whatever it's called
I never complained about phone perf since snapdragon 500s
They keep getting more "faster", but for what reason 
fading spade
ooo....Wreckfest is native Android too, very neat
feral ferry
I guess mobile gaming is like a thing but, why though
fading spade
Especially when most of the AAA Android games dont have controller support
and the only one that is exclusive to mobile is COD Mobile
Genshin and Apex can be played elsewhere
feral ferry
Virtual thumbstick controls on mobile are pretty atrocious
But I guess mobile people are special so, no need to fix it
fading spade
The Razer Edge has very round display edges but the device's edges are very right angled...
it looks strange
rounded display on a totally rectangular body
feral ferry
Pardon me for asking though
What is Snapdragon G3
Is that some offshoot of Snapdragon 8

is that stronghold in egypt?

never cared for turn based stuff
only one to break that rule is mario and luigi partners in time

Crack is not public yet but its been cracked
where is this supposed crack
bleak pike
where is this supposed crack <:dogekek:846285268289323069>
It’s just how empress does it
She does testing first with a few
fringe salmon
so in the end it might just not be cracked
bleak pike
I doubt she’d lie
fringe salmon
what could you possibly have to test for 19 hours if its done

To make sure all the DRM checks have been eliminated since they can apparently be all over the place or something like that
orchid prism
Yeah Denuvo isn't just a single check. DRM rarely is. There's usually a TON of separate checks separate from each other, often hidden throughout the games to act as layers of defense.
fringe salmon
which means its either not cracked yet or they have a check 20 hours in which I kinda doubt?
autumn depot
which house should I choose in hogwarts legacy
fringe salmon
whatever you feel like
autumn depot
so it doesnt make a real difference?
fringe salmon
are you going for a speedrun or something
autumn depot
I saw that in slytherin you do quests with some african girl and the accent was annoying so I dont want that
autumn depot
are you going for a speedrun or something
No I dont know anything about the game i just bought it
fringe salmon
take some quiz that tells you where you fit in or just pick what you want, it's not a competitive game lol
autumn depot
I was just thinking that different houses would have like different perks or something
fringe salmon
if it does why not learn it in the game
autumn depot
If its a permanent choise

I prefer to point out hypocrisy because most of the people who think others need to boycott it still play blizzard games or such
silent moth
i couldnt care less, if a game was unethical nor supporting some russian oligark or not. If i want the game i buy and others opinions about it, they can find them in the trashcan next to me 😄
i do whatever i want with my money ive earned and not anyone else, fact xD
simple maths

Tried a pirated copy of mgs4 on my ps3 and found it a bit too long winded at the start, played a decent bit of mgs5 on my pc but got bored of it.
narrow epoch
so it doesnt make a real difference?
Hufflepuff is probably the best house to choose
As you get an extra quest to go to Azkaban
No other house goes there
autumn depot
Love Hogwarts Legacy, next is atomic heart! 🙂
I love the game too, but the "drama" I stumbled upon is so unnecessary and pointless. Also I dont like the fact the game refers to my male character as "they". Not a fan of this sjw bs they forced into this game. Good job trying to appeal to the lgbt community when they just hate the game regardless
autumn depot
Hufflepuff is probably the best house to choose
damm I already picked slytherin
small comet
No other house goes there
so all other houses are better cause they dont go to azkaban.... can cast all the unforgiveables
brittle ibex
I love the game too, but the "drama" I stumbled upon is so unnecessary and point...
It's easier for games to use "they" because it's a lot less dialog and work and it's valid grammar. It's not "SJW" bs
It's two birds with one stone. It requires less work and coincidentally it's also broader grammatically in refering to people.
autumn depot
You do have a point. First time hearing this in a game tho
narrow epoch
so all other houses are better cause they dont go to azkaban.... can cast all th...
Wasn't aware you couldn't do all the unforgiveables tbh xD
autumn depot
what happens when you cast them
narrow epoch
oh 😂
small comet
avada just kills any enemy instantly
autumn depot
nice
small comet
curcio makes them unable to move and DOT
autumn depot
Im gonna try and unlock it as soon as possible
small comet
and imperio makes them turn on the others while giving a curse DOT
narrow epoch
I personally have played Slytherin and Ravenclaw but contemplating doing Hufflepuff just for the special Hufflepuff quest
small comet
i wont replay everything...
narrow epoch
I mean it's a totally different area of the game to explore
small comet
just finished the third big chamber quest (vague due to spoilers) and almost lvl 32
on track after the next main quest to get avada
and maybe cheese ranrok
narrow epoch
the unforgiveables honestly just make the game too easy 😂 can literally just curse 20 enemies and kill them all with 1 spell
autumn depot
🧌
small comet
oh? does avada also go to other cursed targets in damage form?
small comet
ive only seen the damage share skill
small comet
i mainly want it for the chunky sponges
the big bois
everyone else gets killed with basic cast and protego
narrow epoch
Yeah they just get 1 hit, but you can fight two in the arena and kill them both with 1 avada
autumn depot
what if you use avada in dueling club🧌
narrow epoch
Lmao
small comet
cant test that... finished the quest line already
narrow epoch
You can't get avada at that point of the game
Unless you cheat maybe xD
Also the game stops you using unforgiveables on certain things
Just kinda fizzles your wand
autumn depot
does the wand customization at the beginning make any difference
like real difference
I used elder wood because I thought it would have given me superpowers
narrow epoch
oh? does avada also go to other cursed targets in damage form?
Pretty easy to spread the curse around to everyone around you
autumn depot
which skills should you even max if you cant do all of them
small comet
welp guess i know where i skill next
narrow epoch
does the wand customization at the beginning make any difference
No, just aesthetic
autumn depot
id guess stealth is nigh useless
small comet
i already wont skill the consumeables tree
8 points saved
and 4 others i wont be able to skill either
autumn depot
isnt this the quest for opening avada
small comet
no
narrow epoch
You can get all the skills that help spread curse and then that final one to kill them all
That's like the easiest way
But you can't use curses on the final boss
narrow epoch
😅
autumn depot
ahh it was in the sahdow of the relic
small comet
just do the sidequest with the slytherin guy
you always get the choice to learn it or not
for all 3
narrow epoch
final boss is fun though, would kinda suck if you used avada and killed it immediately xD
autumn depot
you always get the choice to learn it or not
the unforgivables?
small comet
you can learn all and never cast them
autumn depot
I think I need to progress further to learn them tho
small comet
yes
narrow epoch
yeah well I think maybe the final boss isn't actually alive maybe? idk... something like that so maybe that's why it doesn't work

cant you avada kedavra infernals
small comet
when do I get alohomora
the man behind the moon is the quest
narrow epoch
Well whatever it is, it's immune to unforigveables
small comet
and a lot of collecting of moonstones to get alo lvl 2 and lvl 3
narrow epoch
Took me a good few mins of fighting it to realise that too lol
willow quiver
is the harry potter game fun? or is it like spamming abilities?
small comet
Well whatever it is, it's immune to unforigveables
maybe all the ancient juices he drank

Because you can cast them but they do nothing
