Which can also be farmed in like an hour 
Yeah.
If you win the gamble you win pretty well.
If you lose, then you neg so hard.
Yeah.
Thankfully the chances are higher that you’ll roll an SSR
So just getting one of those means you’ll benefit.
But at the same time that’s such a shitty compensation that even the best case scenario in value is shitty realistically.
Chance of getting one of the event SRs in a 10 pull is ~33.5% 
You did what? 80 cubes? Maybe a hundred by this point?
Ya I'm at 100
50 pulls each with a ~33.5% chance of being an event SSR
oh nice my fren got zara
Which is 12.9% chance of not getting a single event SR
only like 140 ish coobz

Yeah man I’m sorry. If it makes you feel better you still have a really high chance of getting something if you keep going.
So daily pulls will get ya through.


I’m trying to help ya.

The uid thing works by ignoring it completely 
No.

literally just click start
it'll start your quests going and you just go from there
luna is getting infected by lila
Don’t be Rei Luna
reiluna
Like does it give up my account
Isn't that the thing where you have to convince an inactive player to come back though? 
And lets someone else have it
I thought it was pointless lol
itll auto fill your account id into someone elses thing if they are just rejoining or something like that, im not sure entirely
No its nots.
Yeah.
but you wont lose your account or anything if thats your concern
would make a hilarious meme
So do i put my own uid in the thing
I spent so much into my account.

And then as a result of helping someone else get back or start I lose mine.
I blame the wording
yea, its confusing
I thought it was one of those stupid player referral systems
No
i didnt bother trying to understand it and just clicked start
I thought it gave my UID to new people and they choose to add me or not
if you brought someone back and they used your UID instead of their own, you get the 30day chat frame and text border
Uhhhhh, I don’t think so.
otherwise, everyone gets the same as far as i understand it
So it’s only active for 30 days.

That’s really lame.
sort of kawaa
yeah you arent new forever lol
you get the chat frames if they use it
i dont think it has anything to do with friending
No, like you get a chat frame depending on if you’re new or not
It’s different for both types.
yea, but they look literally identical
one just says "welcome back", the other says "invitation"

Oh wtf
maybe, idk if it actually says that when in use though
Maybe this is the reason i haven't rolled anything good
its in the style menu, where you change your secretary
These are what I was thinking about.
And that’s cool! I just switched mine to the anni one.
They only last for 30 days which is lame.
oh, yea those are slightly more different
lol there's a qr code on that thing
but still basically the same
I like how it’s topped off with like a thumbs up.



That’s very not cash money.
it doesnt much make sense and sense the description makes no sense either, i guess we just have to wait and see
or not, cuz our luck, none of us will get the fancy UR colored one
First they take away my changed AI in Kizuna and now they take my border.
Next they’ll auto reset my account.

But those are poverty strats.
formidable has some extra voice lines that are unlocked on oath (or max affection, cant tell)
they're alternate versions for certain lines, labeled EX:
Log in: "Commander, you're uncharacteristically punctual today" versus Log in EX: "You're late, Commander. I've been waiting for ages!"
le mochin | P I Z Z A T I M EYesterday at 10:00 AM
View details EX: The posters on the walls are all my favourite rock stars. I don't usually let anyone see them. You're a special exception, Commander~
Main screen 1 EX: That Ajax, she saw straight through me right away... And yet, I think we get along rather well. I've learned a lot from her.
Main screen 2 EX: Haah... I'm back. Those tea parties have some delicious snacks, sure, but they're so dreadfully uptight about bearing and deportment.... Hehehe, Commander, would you mind helping me with my shoes?
Main screen 3 EX: Commander, which of my sisters is more your type? The sweet and gentle Illustrious, or the passionate Victorious?
Normal touch EX: Commander, don't you think Veneto looks a bit dim, cool as she might be?
Special Touch EX: Commander, should I be angry? Positively inconsolable?
Mission reminder EX: Big Brother, I finished organizing your mission list ♪ ... Hehe, is that your type, Commander?
Mission complete EX: Commander, do you want your mission rewards or do you want me? You have to choose! ... Hehe, just kidding~
Mail reminder EX: Commander, the mail is here. Would you mind getting it yourself?
Return to port EX: Commander, I'm going to catch a few winks on the sofa here. Wake me up if anyone comes calling.
Commission complete EX: Ding dong ding dong ♪ incoming message from Formidable: Commission complete. Repeat. Commission complete.```

Nice wall of text.
Let me not read it.

I mean its just some formidable lines 
Formidable is definitely gonna get an oath skin in the future
Classic EN strats
I expect nothing less of my Avrora server.

we know


exactly

Celeste is on sale for $10 right now, guess I'm not buying gems 
If it’s just $10 worth I’d say it’s hardly worth it.

So yeah, Celeste is the better option.
As in $10 for gems on resources.
Is hardly worth.
Hmm, although if i rephrase that, i could say I'm saving $10 on the game
And use that as an excuse to whale 
I know you’re illiterate so let me make this easy.
1 0 RESOURCE, BAD. CELESTE, GOOD
Or i could get both 
Idk, i need to decide how much I like not starving to death
Well.
You can do all three if you’re smart.
Not Starve, GET Celeste, and get Resources.
You know me well enough to know I'm not smart 
I found a google play card.
It's not that i can't afford it, it's more that i can't justify throwing money at something that's not guaranteed 
For $10
I don’t think anyone does.
I only really buy skins and dock.
Which is all guaranteed.
Wtf.
Do you think I just dump gems into resources for the fuck of it?
Wait a second.
You didn’t use your double gems from the first round did you.

Nah i was taking about how i can't justify spending money, but double gems is tempting
Oh ya i only used the $1 and $5 double gems from last time
That's all i could get from Google play rewards
I only have the $80 gem pack now.
So that’s gonna be saved for a holiday.
Or maybe my birthday.
Is usually how I’d spend that one.

i want to buy either a license or a gem pack, but the game is making it very difficult for me by not giving me what i want
just drop zara already
Need to drive home now, I'll definitely buy Celeste
celeste is great, but the b-sides are tough
Gotta decide whether i want to whale
you can decide if you want to whale or not when there's like 2 days left if you're that desperate
you aint azu 
I just meant he aint you in like being a whel
I am desperate
The meta slave in me is screaming
you're desperate but there's still about 11 days remaining
i'm a minnow
give it some time 
Just kidding on my part.
same
But time is required to get the skills leveled up
But yeah, if there’s a skin you want Luna I’d get it.
Since at the very least you’d have the gems and be able to think about it.
you wont die if you dont get a metabote day 1 you simpleton pleb 
Nicholas Christmas skin 
Sure!
Ok time to drive home 
Book walker usually has a lot of specials so buying in bulk gives me a lot to read at awesome value.
And ya i will die if i don't get all the metabotes day 1
So I can afford to splurge a little in AL.

my only hobby is alt tabbing to rant in discord while playing games
miserable 
jk after getting a second monitor I dont have to alt tab
I can just move the mouse over 
you still have to tab if the game is shit
What the fuck is that head size
it's really just the armor that's really big
That’s a long neck too
reminds me of the bug they had in wow several ages ago, when everyone had huge shoulders lmao

She’s a giraffe
elves
just goin outright 'her neck is as lonk as yours'
long leg, long neck
An elve giraffe hybrid.

LOL
potato
Dude wtf are these games.
they're reverse elves
It’s like you’re playing something from 2005z
it's a lala
I’d rather not.
2nd formidable
how much you payin
but we just called them potatoes, or turnips
idk when was ffxiv made
Not that long ago.
15 was the most recent one right.
ff14 is complicated
ik apparently it had a launch but it was so shit
Wait did appear before 13 or some shit.
they had to rework and relaunch the entire game because the first itteration was so bad it flopped the day it came out
yeah
it was one of the worst mmos and they turned it into one of the best by changing some of the staff and stuff
What was that one game that had such a shitty launch that the game couldn’t be played.
It was recent.
one man's lie?
It’s a similar game to Destiny.
sounds like a lot of games lately
canonically, it still happened
Where they had suits and shit.
anthem
one man's lie
That one.
anthem 
but anthem is still shit isn't it
yes
Yeah
and they've basically abandoned it
it will never be good
it was
ea bioware
It is an ultra shit start and when they fixed it it turned into really shit gameplay.
I mean one thing sums up anthem perfectly
the only time people playing it had a good time

was a bug that made rare item drops more common
it was a game about loot, but the loot was shit
which they of course fixed because 
Oh yeah, and then they patched that.
and they didn't include half the stuff they promised
Those characters are terrifying
What a fun game.
the developers legit didn't know what kind of game they were even making

and when they saw the teaser they were like "what?" lmao
I mean the devs knew exactlywhat game they were making
they were told to make another live service cashcow
to follow suit on the money FIFA is making
that was later
I imagine they had a bunch of toys lined up in the office and said “make this into a game.”
Whether it was a shitty game or not is irrelevant.
they were slacking off, hoping it would all come together eventually, but it never happened
Anthem is that one game where the first 24 or so hours was dominated by loading screens.
the game looks pretty freaking cool, actually
it's everything built around it that poisons the well
if this was just a straight up single player or heck, evne a co-op game
without all the micros shoved down its ass
I can agree that it’s a cool concept... but goddamn was it such a fuck up.
don't you want to pay 20 dollars for the color blue?

That sounds like something EA would do.
the other day I saw Angry Joe arguing with people over NBA 2k
it's what bethesda actually did
and I shit you not
and some dude was legit like "The're putting in all those gambling mechanics to make the game more fun for f2p players"
f2p fucking players
in a game you gotta pay 60$ to even play
I mean
turbo whales
Gacha in a $60 game? 
I imagine EA games will be so repugnant at some point that you need to pay to invite friends into a game session.
they're so used to being financially abused, anything else is weird to them
which game called its players freeloaders again?
What’s even worse is that gamers today defend this behavior.
And it gets worse with every iteration.
epic gamer moment
apex i think
yeah apex
right. apex.
Now people defend the company when a game doesn’t work.
LOL
makes a free game, calls people freeloaders
Wait a second did that happen.
yup
Holy shit that’s wild.
they did an ama afterwards
it wasn't like "y'all are just a buncha freeloaders!"
and the devs couldn't handle people giving them shit
AHAHAHAHAHAHA, what a company.
he just casually called people that
What a day to be alive.
it wasn't just devs too
actual community managers
were doing that shit too
as in people who are paid to support the community
some people still don't understand that players are content
because who the fuck you going to play with or against when there's nobody to play with or against?
sounds like league of legends
i haven't played overwatch since season one
I wonder if its because no one wants to spend on pointless cosmetics
oh wait, it is
c'mon guys, blizzard's allowed to do it
because they're blizzard and they're basicalyl jesus
and they can do no wrong
unless you dont have a phone

except all the people that made all the good stuff have left the company
theres a different between cosmetics in an mmo I think because well.. its your PERSONAL character and you see yourself in 3rd person
All that needs to be said
I remember that diablo conference.
there's a reason it's called ACTIVISION Blizzard
because it's owned by activision
apparently, it needs to be pointed out
I hate how profitable gacha is 

We're talking about the same Activision run by Bobby Kotick, aka the guy who sold his mom's ashtray when he was a kid
not even shitting you
Game devs are definitely out of touch with the player base now.
gonna play the world's smallest violin for that dev
The only real shining light at any point now are Indy games.

the argument that "it's just cosmetics" and "it doesn't affect gameplay" is complete bs btw

^
the whole point of playing online games is to stand out
Cosmetic are the only way to personalize a game.
that game I had bought (with my own money and not thru sugar daddies ktxbye) which got sue'd by bethesda actually has devs that pretty actively talk with the players (atleast for now while its early access) and its pretty nice

and people feel the need to personalize things
Indeed.
speaking of cosmetics
remember when Bethesda said there wont be any gameplay-affecting shit in their fallout 76 store
Lewd skins? 
instead of bein like in the discord and banning/warning anyone who pings the devs 
outside of the last 3 times they broke that promise already, they did it again recently

gacha takes advantage of people who spend so it goes hand in hand 
you, spending, are happy
people, making the content, happy
i only care about bethesda because of doom eternal
they can release that and go fuck themselves
That’s like any good in the history of ever.
in a game's discord I got warned once for pinging a dev asking when was the server gonna be back cuz the servers had gone poof and there wasnt a single notice bout it

It’s a simple formula.
literally the only thing they're good at
But the most predominant in any setting.
making doom games
Pinging a dev is usually never a good idea in any form.
That’s a response to Rei
no I was talking about what cal said
Oh okay.
when the servers go the fuck down without any notice and the devs dont say anything for 2 hours
its like the only thing to do
Other than publishing Bethesda has nothing to do with Doom Eternal

that is correct
and publishers are worthless at the best of times nowadays anyway
Yeah, I agree. But, devs don’t follow sound logic.
publishers meddle with development though
Like owning up to their shit.
u rite
I mean devs dont make themselves any more likeable at times
lest you forget the guys behind Apex
aka the Titanfall guys
quit Activision because of how shit publishers were
Those yellow names are devs right.
queue few years later, they sign up to become a studio under EA
reminds me of bungie
let's see how they will do
Just bought Celeste 
enjoy
Naisu.
Man I wonder what possesses devs to behave like children now.
Is it just the climate.
many of them don't even play games
there's a reason why developers should have someone hired to deal with PR
lest we forget steam greenlight
The gaming industry is apparently doesn't really treat devs and workers well
and the pit of fuck that turned out to be
yeah, that too
They hired one too many game journalists.
imagine having to go through crunch because of your asshat publisher, then being told your game is shit
Polygon
all that hard work for nothing
I mean I can empathise with some of the devs
i'm already salty when i cook and someone doesnt like it
tera’s publishers, en masse
90% of them dont play tera
it's not easy to take shit on your game when you've spent months, years making it
so when people tell you it's bad, you'll end up taking it personally in some way
There’s a lot of discontent on both sides.
heck I imagine the Apex guys might very well have broken because on one hand they wanted to make a good game
It’s easily digestible with the good example.
but EA told them to fuck it over with ridiculous microtransactions
and now they're the ones on the frontline
having shit thrown at them
that's probably what happened
and EA could care less
I can see that happening.
They just want the profit.
oh
new praey boss revealed
cant wait till they pop it ingame so I can see what it is

they like to release games without any of that stuff, then patch it in later, after word of mouth has told you that it's great
and it has high scores on metacritic
LOL
because metacritic does not change scores
“Beautiful and brave.”
ah rite great announcements
God it feels like everyone is getting participation trophies still.
apparently UK got their shit together and released a report where they said PEGI should enforce the gambling tag properly for lootboxes
or just outright remove the randomness and replace it with "you pay for it, you get the exact thing"
rift's latest expansion at launch promised many things, it had promises of buncha stuff, people bought it, heck even I bought it at like 40$ but conversion rates were managable back then
then only 1/4 of the content were ingame at launch

white knights: "its fine they are gonna implement em over time"
that's how it always begins
early access mentality
I refuse to preorder anything other than Nintendo games
you get sycophants playing the white knight for companies
and then they just slowly and steadily take an inch with each game
first it was horse armor
i preorder nothing, and i don't buy early access titles
then it was on-disc dlc
1 month later the 1 class balance guy they had quit and went to join mortal combat team or sth
now it's this shit
so rift had effectively no class balance for a whole year and some months

no class skill change all that time
until they idk did something
I quit long before that lel
it was such a mess
and then gamigo just bought trion
and shut atlas which I used to play with muh friends down

they get away with way too much
and since they already took your money, they don't have to care
nintendo
It’s like.
is the worst
btw
breath of the wild drops to 15-20 frames all the time: 10/10
"just an indie dev" is bullshit
well, with that gif mentioning no man's sky, atleast I hear it gathered its shit
the game had Sony's money behind it
too little too late if you ask me
the whole concept should be you pay for the game, you get the game
not you pay for the game, you get the rest of the game in 2 years
The only “good time” a game has to make an impression is the start.
technically collecting their shit and actually making an effort to do sth is still better than not doing shit for it
ofc, great first impressions are good n all but
there's barely any of that these days

Well sorry, but if you come to my house and take a shti on my desk, I dont care if you're gonna apologise and clean it up afterwards
dont take a shit on my desk in the first place

lol
^
It’s like that.
Shitting on your customers at the start is a good way to lose the playerbase forever.
what's worse is that all the kids are used to it, so ofc they see nothing wrong with it, while we old people complain about everything
I dont see why anyone should praise someone for fixing a mistake they shouldn't have made in the first place
you can acknowledge they fixed it, fair enough
but applauding them outright is a no
This is the era of the white knight.
yeah, going from a negative to a neutral state does not make it a positive lol
should have been that way in the first place
^
"but they listen to criticism"
I think also that these companies having progressively deteriorating reputations has made the climate much more volatile.
Like, the drop of a hat is gonna send the devs into a fucking frenzy.
And then the white knights show up
funny thing is, companies did exactly what they always did
chase profits
when they discovered how much shit they can get away with by copying mobile games with their microtransactions and gacha mechanics, they didnt just make the goose lay golden eggs
imagine white-knighting for free
they cloned the goose and built a massive farm
Imagine white knighting in general.
only problem being there's finite number of money int he world and sooner or later you get to the point you can't grow any further
so now they have to trip over one another to squeeze every little penny more
a job is a job, but being a hooker and doing it for free is different, imho
to satisfy the shareholders
sure, but one is dumber than the other. that's my point lmao
pretty sure you gotta be taking money to be considered that
otherwise you're just a nympho

honestly, I can't wait for this bubble to just burst
and spray liquid shit over all the big publishers
don't spend too much time on the details. it's just a dumb analogy
we've overdue another game crash anyway
Imagine the day when the white knights turn into normal people.
Money doesn't have to be a zero sum game though, technology constantly makes resources more abundant
Sucks when a comp y puts out a game using resources and has nothing to show for it in the end.
I think it’s both.
you can make more and more money but you can't have more time than 24 hours in a day
just make a good game
nice joke
it's not that hard

and most games coming out nowadays are following the live service shenanigans
“Make a good game.” Innovation at its finest.
that's all we want
meaning you have to commit to one of them
Making a game is hard 
you have so many sources to pull from. come on.

Honestly just play games for the lewds.
Programming is hard 
that is correct
Programming is annoying.
learn2code
i think we're mixing up programming and designing
Hello 
but yeah, if you're ubisoft, definitely do better programming.
replace all your friend's ; or whatever it was with the german (or whatever language it was)'s something
I know how to code, I just hate every moment of it.

Poggers
Probably, lol.
I definitely wouldn’t say I am.
or whatever that guy from DirectX said
I don’t doubt I’m unfit for programming, XD
programmers be like "i made the thing. but is it efficient enough?"
I like programming, otherwise i wouldn't be a software developer 
I’m a biologist... so working with DNA and cancer is somewhat the same.
That sounds like cancer 
doesn't it show the line with the error though?
Ya ides do
i remember that much from my three months at IT school
I can imagine an even more evil thing
You can get it over time, you can spontaneously develops it... you can inherit it or maybe you don’t even need to Inherit it.
replace an a with the cyryllic a
even when it shows you the error, you wont have a clue what it is
Depending on the language that still isn't too hard to debug
Cancer is the equivalent of telling a friend to shut the fuck up but they don’t or telling a friend to speak up but they don’t.
Just code in one of the esoteric languages and nobody will know what it means 
I only know C++
I dunno any kinda coding 
I only really had experience iwth mSL
had to learn it when making my stream chatbot
i had fun, but i had no idea what i was doing
If you know one language you pretty much know them all 
I'm sure you know more than you think you do 
once won a robot programming contest and won like the equivalent of 10 bucks but they never gave the money and then just disappeared off the face of earth 
that same money is worth 2$ now cuz exchange rates changed


Maybe that code was all they needed and now they run a successful company.
lol
Ya that's why malware reverse engineering was the hardest class I've ever taken
it was just a smol time contest where we had to give sufficient programs to a car like robot with impact sensors or sth and they had to get from start to end
saw some funny shit over there
Yeah malware reverse engineering sounds like a bitch.
Sounds about as hard as Cell & Molecular Biology.
Honestly can’t remember half the shit from that class because of how hard it drove me up the wall.
the path was sth like this
saw a buncha em go near the end
and then return to start

what are the reasons for the '!' in cat lodge
nothing
free slots
absolutely no reason 
You have something finished.
free slots as in formations w/o cats?
Ya it was super difficult, especially since malware authors don't want others to know what their code does, but tbh cell and molecular biology sounds infinitely harder to me 
As in you have some cats done or there are more slots to put cats into.
i think there's a red mark in the cattery whenever you can unpack more cats
yeah, that
i have one queue w/ the timer still running
but other than that no boxes on standby
not sure if they fixed that or nein
The bug is still there unfortunately, it's really annoying 
The class was really hard.
i dont like hard classes
too hard for my liking 
Especially since the instructor was like “This shits easy guys, I’m treating you like you’re PhDs already.”
I passed with a B.
But in reality I basically failed.

At least I felt like I failed
Everyone in the class.
Either felt like they failed or were basically full time student without jobs.
So you could tell who had time to really hammer in the concepts or who were short on time to do the same.

biology was always difficult for me 
hi

can i be a recycle bin?

people put stuff in you then use whats inside you again??
lewd
same but im just a hoarder
I’m trash that’s biodegradable.
anime is trash and so am I
no u
To both of ya.
isnt useless trash, just trash? 
one man's trash is another man's treasure tho
Treasures can still be trash.
cmon guys
One mans treasure can be another mans trash.
trash has feelings
one man's trash is me 
but theyre usually feeling shit
unless they're that kinky sure
what a jock
i'm weak lol

pull up? 
there's a overhead bar
oh
you grip it w/ ur 2 hands and pull ur body up to the point where ur chin meets the bar

Pull ups 
i havent done pullups as in the exercise but I've pulled myself up plenty of walls n stuff
like when I was going to retrieve my cat
or when I'd forget the front door's key


cat retrieving
Smh
those thingies that are there to keep flies out and etc when you open the window
you have a cat? 
had
The little mesh screens?

or the fun aunt that gets married but realizes shes too late at having kids
thats my aunt right there
her husband is fun and funny too
im too late to have kids
how old consider too late? 35+?
risk increases at 30, but not by much
i dunno, just do it as long as you can, i guess
i guess 40 is capped

but due to legal issues they dont actuallt see the kids often 
and they live in another state
gotta do a lot of planning just to see them
which is very sad
