and no not really, compared to similar game ios numbers early on those numbers are atrocious
its making a lot of the same missteps the previous version did but a lot faster
and also a lot more severe i guess
previous blue protocol didnt mess up this much this early
dante is free completing story
I...would

I'm saving my pulls for Vergil then

@ember roost is story hard?
nope

Plumpy~ Plumpy plumpy~
FYI Hippos are omnivores. Lol (Primarily herbivores though)
I studied Biology but these ...Xray demonstrations of bodily fuctions always freaked me out...
@sly ember This afternoon I went to the doctor because I had a lump on my forehead. The doctor said it was a benign tumor.

Next time I go on a date I'm going to play this song as my intro song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDnPFxnALBg

@sly ember The doctor said it's not a problem as long as it doesn't grow, but I have the option of having the tumor removed surgically, although that will definitely leave a permanent scar on my face.
Do iiiittt. Tell everyone it's your battle scar.
bro is not funny
Well, depends on if your a lady or not. I've had friends with similar situations that did exactly that but...they were dudes.
Also, unless its an issue cosmetically I wouldn't worry about it. A simple wart is a benign tumor as well.
The word "Tumor" can be scary. I studied oncology and helped with cancer research labs.
To be honest, this is a dilemma for me.
Medically or...cosmetically? I completely understand a lump somewhere you don't want one that people would mention or poke fun at.
But outside that dooon't wooorrrry. The physical apperance is the only thing you need to worry about
And that changes on your mindset. You can control that~
Vs Something you cannot.
The doctor advised against it, saying that it was “not yet” a problem rn and if doing an operation would leave a scar.
If you're worried medically you can go to an oncologist/geneticist do more specific testing
A general doctor will only check for basic metastis symptoms or further growth. I don't think they'd do a full blown genetic test on the tumor itself to see whats specifically causing the tumor
Lots of things cause tumors. LOOOOOTTS of things.
The main things to check for are. 1: If the tumor itself is developing genetic errors in the system that fixes these problems. 2: If that error is continuing or just a random mutation that eventually got taken care of, and 3: If your immune system is recognizing the tumor. (The last one isn't as important as if it did...you'd know.)
If it's just surface level skin lumps forming then meh. That happens from time to time. We develop genetic errors ALL THE TIME
Heck even our bodies being healthy and making new copies like it should can create genetic errors. They're called TATA mutations.
The part of your genetic coding that doesn't code for anything specfically but more as...place holders. Similar to how you have handles to a pot. The handles don't do anything cooking wise but they act as a holder for your hands. TATA boxes act as the handles for genetic coding.
I don't know, bro, this kind of thing is completely foreign to me.
But if your doctor says its fine then chances are your good.
Today was very tiring for me
Also contact a plastic surgeon to get further advice as what to do.
They'll be able to actually tell you if they need to do a surgery that will leave a scar.
I'm not thinking too much to that lol 
atleast I'm still alive it's good
Def. A benign lump is fine. Skin lumps happen all the time for people. Nothing to really worry about
Just eat some cake.
You'll be as right as...why do people say rain?
Right as rain?
Yes but it’s free to play friendly compared to other gachas
Bokura has decided to release every NDA change to the China content creator server for everyone to see publicly. There are a lot of changes since the April beta and shows lots of promise for a good launch. That said, I will quickly discuss a positive adjustment and provide an update on the gacha situation.
BP Star Resonance Official Server: htt...
Free to play friendly? Wasn't there huge drama about it being even worse p2w than real blue protocol?
The original blue protocol was going to be cosmetic gacha so I guess people love to exaggerate
Well Maplestory for the most part is kinda cosmetic gacha only on their more popular servers. They stayed in business for 20+ years now lol
So that method must work. Not sure why other companies don't do it?
yeah, they also caught lying about their gacha rates, soooo 
Well also not a lot of people gonna gamble on cosmetics that won’t affect gameplay they rather pay straight up for it they rather gamble for something that’s gonna affect gameplay
I dunno, mang. The server numbers to maplestory says otherwise
(Im tempted to take a jab at infinity nikki but im fighting my urges)
TRUE gamers would rather earn it. Paying to win loses the fun in winning
Unless your a loser who ONLY cares about winning no matter what you do
I'd rather pay money for a cosmetic gamble knowing the stronger players are strong because they worked at it
Not paid for it
It makes it feel like what's the point of F2P if you can P2W? To play the storyline?
Im not saying it’s diminishing numbers im just saying not a lot of people gonna gamble for cosmetics if gambling for power up is an option
Well I feel like that's due to not a lot of games going that route
Look up dragon raja 
I like forbidden knowledge my friend
I'd say this.
WESTERN markets like paying for cosmetics vs power more
EASTERN markets like paying for cosmetics AND power
The mentality is different.
Why a lot of western gamers feel like cheaters online tend to be "Asian" as the mentality in at least China is "Win at all cost."
The WIN is what matters more than HOW you got the win
Or the CLOUT matters more
Ok that I can agree with I saw a lot of people hating on the wow instant 60 level up and not a lot of people used except for people that doesn’t know any better
As thats kinda the only way to show individualism and prestige above others in that "Everyone does the same thing for community harmony" culture.
It was to the point that you can't play some classes unless you whale on game
but would need to dig into cn videos again to find it, too tired to do that 
Tera coming back
Well I was talking about the gacha only but if you are talking about other aspects there’s a lot of pay 2 win aspect but it’s isn’t worse then your typical gacha https://youtu.be/31iHBmEEhSQ?si=9Uy0ygQNgQJd3Ej8

They better buff my sweet brawler
...Are worms just living straws?
No because straws are dry and they snap if you bent it slightly
thats what people said last time with blue protocol, and that was entirely wrong, its even worse this time and racking up controversies even faster
and that first few weeks revenue is almost as bad as tarisland's
did u no i have the one and only 24k gold carat lamomo
That first week ? Seems good for a first on a single platform on a limited release
no first couple and if you look at similar games its absolutely horrible
usually first few weeks are nearly all the income for the first few months
ratio wise
Also as far as im concerned most what I hear from people who played the game it’s great on release
i mean, you also heard glowing praise from people about the previous one
Oh my bad still it’s not that bad even for a few weaks
where people also mislead others about the state of it pretending it had no issues
people have goldfish memory it seems
The irony coming from you 
huh the flowers are glitching out on my screen
flashing pink and purple in the rain
Also unlike the previous one this one is improving on feedback no ?
nope, CN is furious
and people said the previous version was improving based on feedback etc too
we saw what that amounted to
content creators can and will lie to your face about this sort of thing
yet people are still trusting the same ones that misled people about the state of the older blue protocol
You do realize the “old blue protocol” was made by a different team entirely no ?
yes, which is why its so surprising they're doing the same thing again but faster
and worse
ppl dont learn from history it seems
for nikki? i havent relaunched my client yet, did it get hotfixed
idk what to tell you i just ran into it
ive done the new story stuff
i dont get why everything is islands
its not an engine limitation, nte stuff is very high density but rendered perfectly as one chunk etc when driving through
these my 3 new outfits atm
i get they're not ue5.5 like nte is
and that ue5.5 nte mobile stuff is super smooth but
even with being ue5 (but not ue5.5)
they dont have to make everything islands
it seems to be just a stylistic choice
idk the density is huge
you're forgetting the nikki stuff doesnt have many interiors etc or npc's around clustered etc
its more about how much you have to render and swap between around a small radius
rather than the whole entirety of it
further off stuff has LoD culling
yeah, thats what im saying
nikki has the maps setup like it has unity limitations
which is odd given its ue5
its either intentional or its an
oh other games do it this way we will do
yeah i guess thats part of it too
we'll see how they handle later regions i guess
i have high hopes for the housing patch thats the next one
although yes ik thats another island
its not really an issue atm i just wonder if itll limit them later
hopefully they can update to ue5.5 like nte
it might be tricky if their code has diverged a lot
which is might have by now
but its not the near impossible task it would be for an open world one to go ue4>5 post launch
well it'd still help the game in general even if they are doing this as a stylistic choice
i hope we get weirder fashion like this
https://www.reddit.com/r/AnantaOfficial/comments/1mj5y8n/carrace/ people are fake extending trailers with ai now?
that could get out of hand very fast
doesnt really help the source original wasnt really gameplay footage either
so its stacking confusion on top of confusion

hae haeee
IT'S A CAT
di you read my message before
-Sniff-
So
Toby
Hurred a volcano went off near Australia
Looked pretty on video. Not gonna lie
But that what...level 5 red ash alert or something sounds pretty serious
...But still pretty > x >;;
Nature went KABOOM but with style and flare~
For the full kit or just the base?
If it's just the base that's honestly kinda meh
For the FULL shabang heck yeah that's a great deal! (Too lazy to just check myself)

It's the same price in USD
Your Euro over the Dollar strength has no power here~
Couldn't really get into it
Something about the game was just too...distracting
I couldn't focus
I dunno what...
(Also I don't own the console to play lol)
ANd never bothered to check if its on PC c:
o 3 o Of this year?
That's not that long lol
Wat? Not even a season ago lol
I got onions growing older than the PC release lol
YOU CALLIN` MY ONIONS OLD?! HM?!
They've been growin` for awhile now?! Hm?!
Am I a bad Onion farmer?!
Yeah probably
I mean seeing as they're growing tomatoes something tells me I did something wrong
Imagine that? Lol A story of an Onion farmer who so badly wishes he could grow onions like the family tradition...
But every single time he tries to grow onions he grows crops of other types but in massive sizes lol
"UGH!!! ANOTHER MEGAMELON AGAIN, MA`!!
...And...his family gets rich off these incredible produce because they give them to the royal family and nobles. . --- . While the population starves!! The family keeps all of this hidden from the guy as he lives in some remote farm thinking they sell onions and live a humble life. > 3 > -jots notes down-...mhmmm..hmmmm
And Imma call this boy/guy...xonacatl c: The Nahuatl equivalent word for "onion" lol
^ Me. In dah zone
@zealous narwhal
So far I added a grandma who doesn't agree with the rest of the greedy family.
She just loves the boys gift and farming. Sticking with family traditions vs modern luxury.
....And...Uhhh...A pet parrot whose secretly some God of agriculture. > w >
This God has always blessed this family with the ability to grow amazing onions but for some reason there was a hiccup with this boy. Instead of being able to grow onions he was able to grow incredible other crops!! This was too OP of an ability so he needed to follow the boy around to inspect what went wrong. > 3 >
This god decided to take the form of a parrot (As parrots live long lives and it wouldn't look weird to stay by the boys side until his natural human death)
Hmmm...-scribble scribble-...
Yeah! I mean PFFT I need someone to bounce ideas off of! c:
These animations are always kinda creepy for me
It's just so janky. Lol

time to try

Basically unless there’s something that harm them FINANCIALLY , reputation risk or anything like it is not an excuse for banks and payment processors to force others to do what they want or the banks and payment processors will threaten to stop their services
If you know the whole issue with steam and it’s banning for 18+ games it’s basically solves that issue

This feels like one of those creepy ARGs or SCPs

I rather not
Guessin` you had one to many scene kids in your school growing up, huh? lol
Come here love
Beep beep boop boop
it's like perks that give positive and negative stuff at the same time 
Like you?
nikki and nte at gamescom in 9 days
technically endfield might announce a beta (at gamescom i mean) given how long its been but
i would guess giving timing if nte will announce beta 3 or release it'd be at tgs
same for nikki about 2.0 or silver palace beta 1 if we're lucky etc
yeah i mean another one
technically the ps5 showcase had some dodge changes that ppl really aggressively did not like and caused a whole fuss
i think the game would do well even if combat kept having issues though
sure its not going for the same content variety as nte or whatever but
arknights has a huge fanbase and they're mostly invested in the story stuff
gonna play it and see how i feel
nikki is real btw
yeah, those dodges feel unnecessary af
literally just took wuwa dodges and slapped it in
not sure if it one directional only tho, like in wuwa 
cuz wuwa dodges make me wanna uninstall sometimes, how clunky those are
i didnt look too much into it tbh just glanced at how worked up ppl were getting and went yikes
thats the problem with focusing just on combat, very easy to mess up one aspect or have a few boring combat events in a row and put ppl off
like later pgr going full i-frame spam
same, i just saw how it looks and it made me a little bit worried
like, why can't they just give us something.... seamless( can i describe it like that?
)
why animation lock us in one direction, for a long period of time, just for the sake of making it "look good"
yeah i dont really like it when aesthetics take priority over functionality and smoothness
like the amount of flashing lights some games add to attacks is just ridiculous
means you can only play it in 30 minute chunks max
a lot of people don't even know genshin has fully functional dodges, this is how seamless(?) those are
and this is how it should be done imo
again, i don't mind dodges, i mind poorly implemented ones 
what
I feel like people overblown the whole dodge thing acting like the game doesn’t have any unique mechanics like yah it has now just a copy paste wuwa dodge but it also has unique mechanics like it’s not just a switch game the other characters fight with you ai and a normal attack combo that actually is important to complete it fully to fill up a bar that allows you to perform abilities and a those abilities have slow motion the makes you question “am I sure I want to use it now?” Or have you wandering where to place the ability because yes you can designate the spot where you want the ability to be activated on certain abilities giving you some tactical feel
Like yah sure I don’t want it to be just a genshin/wuwa copy but yah I think that was overblown
Hello Travelers, and welcome to day one of our Hype Week Posts for Season 3: Beneath Ancient Skies! For those joining us for the first time for a new Season, Hype week is a week-long series of blog posts covering some of the biggest features to look forward to in the coming Season. That means over the next 5 days, you will get your first look a...
games lacking content variety and unique mechanics are really going to struggle when theres the bunch of new next gen gachas next few years to compete with
ofc some of these have huge existing fanbases only ones you need to worry about are the ones burning through advertising money or making dodgy changes etc
because if you're that reliant on ads a bunch of new competitors also putting them out kinda scuppers that
and as time goes on games launch with improved engines and better tech etc
so you really cant waste the first year, or few, doing just the same thing over and over
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/season-3-twitch-drop-and-support-a-creator-campaign/78568 21st has twitch drops too
Greetings Travelers, The launch of Last Epoch Season 3 - Beneath Ancient Skies is just around the corner - and you know what that means… more Twitch Drops! This Twitch Drop campaign will be our biggest yet, with 8 Drops and a Support-A-Creator item. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover - so let’s get right into the campaign. Twitch Drop C...
pretty excited to try endfield still, not going to judge the changes too harshly til i actually get to test it
path of exile 2 0.3 is also a week later i think
its kinda why p5x and bp are struggling atm too
they just dont offer enough of a leap up
if they'd launched 5 years ago, sure, but the market moves on
Having a huge fan base won’t save a bad game take for example dragon age the veil guard, having a huge fan base will boost the numbers and lessen the blow if the game was bad but relying on a huge fanbase alone won’t save a game
yeah if a game doesnt innovate enough from the start its an issue, more so when its a few years and and still not doing much ofc
arknights is really big though
I wouldn’t say they are struggling but I see what you mean
i think endfield will do ok, but id need to play it to get a better scope of it
its one of those things where if its at least half way decent id play it a few months but not spend til im confident in it
as unless a game makes big leaps in beta and is doing a lot of different content it can expand on
combat is harder to gauge where it'll go
for gachas at least
the ai system makes it kind of tricky to balance
does this new dodge system help/harm on top, idk
I think I would play as well especially if they improved on the base building and strategy aspect
Well the “new” dodge system definitely helps with the already existing system so I would say yes but only for those seeking combat
huge backlash over it isn't great though, regardless of personal thoughts on it
i dont know if thats normal or not for arknights community as i didnt really interact with it at all all the years i played arknights
at most i looked up ''is this character good'' stuff briefly
There was a backlash for the dodge system not existing in the betas that’s why this new dodge was implemented to appease those who wanted it was more of a fight between those who wanted the dodge system and those who didn’t with the ones that didn’t get what they wanted screaming the loudest
at least there isnt really much similar coming out like it
theres not that many new gachas making much progress at all really outside of endfield and nte atm
problem isn't that it become wuwa/genshin copy, i don't want one either. that's why.... i looked at endfield with hope 
problem is the dodge that i saw is copy of wuwa dodges, and i'm just afraid they will implement it the same way, the shittiest way possible, when you can only dodge in one direction and it locks you into long animation
the dodge changes are pretty late for something so important
and they took a whole year gap in beta
btw sometimes it really faster to eat the damage than do dodge
they can take longer if they want to, but i do kinda worry about people's tolerance for that
then again on the other hand like i said its not like much else is coming out
the "dodges" before changes was better, imo 
for me wuwa's combat was ok, nothing special but no big issues either
it was the rest of the content variety and especially story that was the issue for me
ill forgive a lot of stuff for a game with a good story
but the opposite is also true, im not playing a game i have to skip cutscenes on
i hate the whole concerto mechanics 
Literally just delaying the fights
5 second fight can stretch up to 15 sec just because if you don't do full rotation your damage is just suck ass
the main issue with all the build up stuff is it pushes them to make characters that are very dependant on other ones
so its a lot more spending
and if you don't - it can become 20 sec fight 
plus ofc, the 50 system and weapon banner still
despite what pgr had and what new games are doing
I prefer to do that but seeing it’s an action gacha there’s chance there will be an enemy you really don’t want to get hit by it unless you have a good support and honestly if they go that route I want the dodge or any damage nullification mechanic
eh pgr got really bad with i-frame abuse later on
damage nullification can easily go to far when its used to sell characters
pgr pulls way too much from dmc and other games and somehow misses the point on top
when it stops being about player skill and more about ignoring all the damage with broken i-frame abuse from gacha swiping
it didnt start out that way ofc, it was only when it hit gen 2 that it went off the rails
combat is an easy thing to mess up, and so many games are competing on that front
there is whole endgame mode that can one shot you
again, my problem isn't dodge, it's implementation
yeah its like how i-frames arent inheriently bad
and i don't like how kuro implemented it in wuwa, that's all
its how you use them and how frequent etc actions that cause them are
I would question that especially after playing both games and Virgil in pgr they hit the point on that some people even did the combos of Virgil one to one in both games (i feel they messed up dante but meh )
...you get that was me saying about how they are taking too many design elements from dmc and other games right
going ok but what about when they actually had a dmc collab with a dmc char is unrelated
at least it's not like genshin x horizon collab 
the point is they keep retreading the same stuff but worse
its like there was no really good reason to have 3 vera expy's in one year
it made more sense back when they were small
but for tof it took them 3 years to even do 1 expy
if you're going to use an old design you cant use it super frequently and you have to add stuff to make it really stand out
special, unique features to it
tbf that might have been a requirement from sony
that was back when there wasnt as much track record for how well gachas can do
and sony can be weird about crossplay etc stuff without these kinda deals
sometimes its for free marketing too
kinda surprised tof got what seemed to be a pretty large exclusive cosmetic etc deal setup
when they were small
ofc we'll never know the full details but wouldnt surprise me if they did something similar for nte
and it was decent for it to have been (presumeably negotiated) kept to 1 year exclusive cosmetics
not dumb stuff like the spiderman avengers thing
We don’t talk about that it’s the crazy cousin of the family that no one should talk about
obviously
knowing Sony and how they LOVE ruin their IP if it goes somewhere other than PS 
idk i still think the switch or anime is more of a sore spot for fans
with the china hero project plus how badly sony live service stuff has gone recently
i can see them really pushing games like this if they can get some kind of exclusive deal
honestly surprised how badly the home territory stuff was handled
id have expected this kinda mess up from microsoft, which has largely abandoned ip's now even
but i thought a few years back sony had their head on a bit more straight
One reason why I stopped playing tof was how badly it was optimized on the ps just to give an example wuwa was better optimized at launch, I don’t know how it’s now though
that's entirely unrelated to what i just said
Speaking of horizon
Yah true I just want to throw it out there
yeah i wouldnt be surprised if the reason a few tencent projects havent been showing on certain sony stuff is moves like that
like sometimes these kinda claims are silly but that one was a pretty 1:1 pull
like ppl can argue oh mecha dinosaurs are generic etc but
when its projects close to the platform provider's chest
if sony don't destroy them in court, i can see this game perform much better than anything after zero dawn
they ofc take it quite a bit personally
Zero down was great idk about forbidden west but didn’t hear good things
DEI infested slop
all you need to know 
actual sales dont quite matter as much as it pushing forward the platform
kinda like how halo keeps getting a free pass despite being a big mess to develop
regardless about how you personally think of the games its pretty clear its important to sony
I just hope they don’t get to shut it down because im interested in the tencent attempt at with the gameplay looking more centric on base building and survival then hunting robots
i dont think they would but it might put any tencent projects in a bit of trouble with sony when reaching out for bonus deals, support, marketing etc
Indeed 
Made by a woman 
Feel free to explain this then
This was also made by a woman
Who fought very hard to keep her this way
wouldnt be surprised if it was photoshopped given who's posting it but at the same time idc
ppl make characters im not a fan of all the design elements on all the time after all
she literally look like she drunk for a year without stopping
and the kinda person that will pester devs for years on end demanding it be exactly the way they personally want characters to look is just insufferable
Realistically it was most likely a new art team who wasn't very good. This is SONY we're talking about. SOOOONNNY JAPAN realistically Japan doesn't care about aaannnyy of that stuff lol
every character would just look hyper generic if they had their way etc
if char doesnt kiss mc within 1 second of meeting them scrap the game kinda type
best Aloy, if we talk about looks only 
Def. They're not going to market OH NEW ART TEAM AS WELL HUEHUEHUE DAS WHY SHE LOOKS FUGLY or some thing lol
They're gonna be hush hush on that unless people noticed in the credits of the game.
makes games a lot worse because instead of ppl talking about mechanics they just go oh characters arent hot enough fix it fix it fix it
Well it’s from Reddit your most trusted source on top of it being from general search
harrassing va's etc
Just look at what EA did to AC. Clearly it's not just the ladies that get the downgrade treatment lol
I mean for fcks sake look at what they did to Cow Boy Beepbop...
im fine with criticizing stuff, just when someone makes it their whole personality to care about char hotness etc
gg crowd with last of us and the like etc
SEE That's why I play female characters more often if I have the choice
NOOOOOOO
its been half a decade, and ppl wont let it go as they use it to promote obnoxious behaviours
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If I'm going to be staring at a character all the time in 3rd person I wanna at least look at a lady lol
I ALMOST FORGOT WHY REMINDING ME ?!
as i said opinions about this kinda stuff is fine, but there's certain stuff like this people glomp onto and make their whole personality
and just spam it any time any game discussion comes up to drown stuff out
meaning mechanics etc get ignored
usually meaning the surface level stuff that doesnt matter gets fixed
CAN'T MAKE FUN OF REAL PPLZ
and the actual issues with mechanics etc go unaddressed
leading to a lot of generic games etc
i heard first season was good
You know that's honestly the issue now and days. Gamers have confused pretty graphics with good game.
it's tlou curse, first game was good too
Resources
Really it's that simple. Triple A games have the resources to make pretty games but tend to focus so hard on that to make their money back on release. Independent studios tend to have worse graphics but MUCH BETTER GAMES
And if you want BOTH
You're gonna be looking at open beta hell for at least several years
Well...realistically we should start selling games similar to how nintendo does it with the switch
Via a card as that holds more memory than a disk.
there's 3 Korean mmorpgs on UE5 that looks identical
i think people already fed up with "realistic" graphics since no one could deliver a good game with it
yeah absolutely
You know through out the years of going from PS1 graphics to where we are now
People keep trying to do the hyper realism thing but keep failing
Why? Hyper realism is kinda boring
main benefit of ue5.5 is density and amount of technical things you can do outside of graphics
its all about how you use this kinda stuff
You play a game to get away from realism lol not to be given more of it
Also one thing about hyper realistic games is...OMG THE CODING nope
yes, a lot of this stuff you could do before, but not on mobile
and mobile caps the maximum of pc on gachas
Imagine trying to shove all of a Biology, Physics, and mathematical PH.D into a game
Then trying to fix any bugs that occur. Where would you even start in all that line of interconnecting code?
Isn't that just dating any Tik Tok girl ever?
main thing i remember about that game is the code being nonsense
well that and there was a bunch of imitators which also didnt manage to get it done
its basically like trying to combine hitman with romance visual novel
What is valve even doing? lol
ah
and theres a reason you dont see many games like hitman
having everything work on a schedule and then constantly adding stuff on top is a pain
especially when you need stuff to rag doll and in a rube gholberg machine kinda way or whatever its clled
its not the kinda concept that screams indie
then again, stuff like noita exists
(roguelike fully simulated powder game)
I'm confused so many of these systems don't connect lol
like those old flash games but on steroids
i didnt zoom in lol
Anyways, Timmy. That all explains how I met your mother~
Why are Chinese animes always talking about QI REFIENING FOR x,y,z YEARS!! all the time?
some of that stuff is way too tropey, especially the power fantasy stuff where only the mc does anything important and the plot would fall apart without them
but there are decent wuxia/xianxia things too
That's any anime ever lol
its like any genre really, you take some elements to their extreme and it can go wrong fast
Yeah that's another thing
Instead of a regular run-time of a show
Say 30 minutes or so with commericals 24 without give or take
They're usually AT MOST....20 minutes?
Usually 10?
rise of izekai manga messed up a lot of writing
same thing kinda happened with the western stuff trying to imitate avengers type writing
Cinderella Chef was a good one
Dis rite hur
Dis es a good one
Herbivore Dragon of 5000 years is also a good one
Never heard of it
The Richest man in game is also a fun one lol
About a guy who through some cosmic system is able to start a video game company but here's the catch...
He needs to spend all of the money he's given per period and if he MAKES a profit he LOSES money
LOSING money generates a HUGE profit for him. lol
So he does EVERYTHING you'd imagine a game developer NOT doing...but somehow still makes BANK.
Such as a car driving simulator that takes 5+ hours to finish. It only goes one direction and the same layout goes on the entire time. Cost? In USD $1
Oh and if you mess up you start all over from the beginning. Your prize for finishing? "Congratulations. You wasted X number of hours playing this game. The end."
thats just desert bus
Did that game make money? lol
idk but ppl stream it all the time 15h straight for charity
apparently it never came out because their publisher went bankrupt from something else just before
review copies kinda leaked and it got shared
I wonder which fruit is the most successful at being a fruit
A fruit is just a special way trees get some smelly animal such as ourselves to take it's seeds away somewhere else o:
So which one does that job the best in the wild....hmmm...
Lieess
Smelly fruit only attracts certain smelly animals lol
These ai baby deity gifs are freaking me out . - .
Ai can sure draw but its drawn without a soul thus the image has no soul
It wants a soul
Your soul . - .
Yes.
You only need to be at a specific time to see this.
What's your fav type of Curry and which region?
Hey Have they added in cross progression yet? Like play my mobile/pc account on ps5?
Bro just play punishing grey raven
yes playing both

Thats how TOA looks like right now? Damn it looks like a game i played back in 2010. Ragnarok/Tera
Durian...
HSR banner ended...tomorrow is the update...
...and yet, I haven't even played the collab event.
Which is expected, since I'll only login on day 1 of the patch, then offline for the rest of the patch duration...

Don't have time to play + not enough storage.
2TB SSDs are quite expensive here, so not gonna buy them anytime soon...
rerun banner ended, collab banner gonna be here for long time, so, you have plenty of time 
Still, gonna miss the collab banner anyways...
Dunno when I'll play back...
Genshin also...I haven't played for almost a year.

I logged in once every 6 weeks.
Just to collect maintenance compensation, and redeem codes, then offline for 6 weeks.
The cycle continues.
And yes, summer event on Genshin...gonna miss that too...
why even login then 
i mean, what's the point if you not gonna play it anyway
i'd just uninstall at this point
yet you still a fake tofer

fake tofer indeed
the moment i stop playing.... i stop playing
very blackbruh
I installed then uninstalled HSR every patch update.

I need to reserve 100GB of free space.
I'll only uninstall Genshin once it reaches 100GB.
I still play wuwa, but idk for how long .
wasn't it happened already?
Mine not yet, but it's just a matter of time...
The new oval track for INDYcar looking good so far
also it made 600 million $ first two years and is working on a giant new game that should be out in a few months or start of next year

Numbers aren’t great like tera numbers but hey it’s still kicking
652 players ?
the steam client had specific issues when it launched, and some of the big mmo's like guild wars 2 dont exactly have many people playing on steam
but vodka doesn't play the game and are here to troll so they know how to be misleading
i mean as huge as guild wars 2 is even, it took guild wars 2 10 years to make what tof did in 2
they've already made enough to fund a decade of development
(if guild wars 2 can last that long with that whole amount, tof making even more than that in just over 2 years is more than sufficient)
tof initial team was tiny after all
you can search on activeplayer.io, it has different numbers (probably mobile only tho) 😄
Well like luna said not everyone uses steam but what she forgets to mention is it’s a good metric to measure players count because almost everyone uses steam I always use it as a metric of sort to guess the actual numbers what I usually do is I take steam numbers and multiply it by the numbers of platforms including separate launcher then steam
and as i said, tof made as much as gw2 did in 10 years in 2
there abouts
even not factoring in the tof team being way smaller and budget a lot lower
ofc, nte is 400 staff and aaa budget but thats still a crazy amount of money to work with
else you wouldnt be able to sustain and develop new content for a big mmo like gw2 a decade with it
The irony when you say Im misleading 
these are literally official revenue reports, cope harder
Not only me and the others at the dna server that called you out and you just keep dodging
yes, im aware what happened there, you and your friends spammed slurs at everyone (which you have even admitted here), then you came here and to other hotta game socials to brigade while not playing tof
And here you go again switching the topic 
im kind of surprised you're bringing it up given how atrociously you've acted there
Im atrocious? That’s Weird im not banned and even the admins at the server didn’t care about your complaints
the fact you're aware of the official revenue reports and still trying to pretend the game did badly is also blatently obvious
Did you read it ?
yes, that tends to happen when one of your friends who was encouraging the slur use gets to be a volunteer mod
so rules being selectively enforced is unsurprising
Then you wouldn’t mind pointing it out where it says they get to keep that 600million
you're literally talking about another server
No ? Did the pictures I attached didn’t download properly?
@gentle grove might want to keep an eye on this kinda thing, person is deliberately trying to troll hotta stuff in multiple places despite not playing the game for years

#off-topic message < this shows it a bit clearer
you're only not resorting to your usual slur spam etc as you know you'd get actually acted on here unlike in other servers
Again did I do it here ? 
you're doing the same kind of behaviour, and have admitted to deliberately trolling as per the link i gave
nothing more really needs to be said
When did I admit I was trolling
Oh you mean the other server
Well that’s pegs the question is did I do any of that here ? So far I asked you legit questions and you keep dodging and calling mods
doing it in a subtler way then sealioning doesnt mean people can't see what you're doing
sometimes i wonder why i even call it out, with how blatently you're doing it on other socials you're potentially just accidentally promoting the games while damaging the ones you actually play
but id rather those other games dont get backlash due to a group of trolls going around either
especially when you keep directly admitting it like the link given
if you go round the place going i smash windows but i havent smashed any in this particular house yet, how would you expect to be treated
Oh wow you keep a track of what I do in other servers ? I’m flattered
But for real don’t lie lying isn’t good for the soul , you don’t know anything about me and what I do in other servers also don’t act like a saint I keep trying to have a conversation with you but you kept dodging questions and legit arguments and act like they aren’t real arguments and they are trolls you even got called out here if you had any decency to read any screen shot I send you don’t act surprised when people don’t treat you nicely
Hopefully you eventually learn to be more empathetic and listen to people and maybe people won’t treat you badly but I doubt it and I will leave it at thst
I want to understand your point of being here server, not even playing and just here trolling, if you're going to cry because the game is still active, I advise you to make a video, that way your circus could be funnier
the point is to find entertainment
Nobody cares about numbers or whatever, everyone just wants to play.
Indeed and specifically luna 
its up to mods to decide if drama farming is allowed or not
Acting like a ____ doesn't change much, the game won't change because you're here crying, we already have Stix who has been doing this for years almost every day and nothing changes
Just sit and cry like him

Yoo
Relax dude 
quit spend money on lel and deepspace
If you want to understand my point of view let me explain it
Nobody cares about points here, probably nobody here is invested in playing game analyst
Enough discussion
You asked 
To each their own
If you want to play and have fun with the guys, you're welcome. If you're going to stay here crying, I certainly recommend looking for your bubble, because this isn't your bubble.
you the discussion
vera not banned yet and you still a fake tofer
Sorry about that
le avocado still ruin the pizza
Well the mods aren’t banning me or kicking me so i feel welcomed
Everyone is welcome, but what is not welcome is discord and fighting over something “irrelevant.”
Well, be warned, no fighting

Well, if that's the case, it's about time, don't you think @gentle grove @boreal hedge ? I've seen people getting kicked for less.

They are not here to play or talk like normal people, just to troll, kicking or banning will not change anything.
i mean, while it is somewhat true, good games tend to have more players on the platform in which they released later
guild wars 2 was released on steam 10 years after initial release, and sitting with 86% positive reviews and 5.1k players in game
tof on the other hand, released on steam ~2 months after initial release, and numbers never once gone up from day one
it is safe to assume tof doesn't grow at all
you can cope all you want, but it's just true what numbers say
and accusing everyone of trolling isn't gonna make game better
😮 psychic
LOL as if crying over steam numbers would make the game better?

ofc not
Like I said
but why so defensive about it
.
i mean... "crying" changed more games than being unhealthy positive about it
for good or worse
just look at dodges in endfield
its always the same people that ignore the mods asking for discussion to stop when a conversation hasnt gone their way, too
Yes, but it's true, optimization is an acceptable criticism, that's not a lie.
Now will crying over numbers change anything?
i never even said anything negative
if you don't like different opinions - don't include yours
They know more than us what the numbers are, because I would cry about something that I don't know exactly
For me this is a troll, and it doesn't change anything. If you want to make a real constructive criticism, there's the chat #1220745020735492106
i mean, not everyone become stix, if they criticize the game, some criticism is relevant yet some people will attack you for that, provoke you, and then tell you that you're "just a troll" while trying to get mods attention to get them banned
trolling over a game that is active with supposedly 600 Steam players, it won't change anything here, because whoever is here just wants to play and have fun
not everything is a troll, ya'll need to accept that people can have different opinion
and it's normal
Like I said
.
that doesn't change anything
"for me this is just a troll" is just a way to hide yourself from harsh reality of people having different opinion
Ok bard, see you in 5.4
you can't just label someone "insert a buzzword" and expect to have good conversation or even convince the opposite side that they are wrong doing that
The problem is that no one asked anyone's opinion, someone just asked if the game was active

Nobody wanted to know anyone's opinion
it was a yes or no question
Just need to say, yes it is active and they are already testing 5.3 which is the next version global
with 5.4 arriving at CN
yes, and destiny immediately call them troll for just uploading screenshot from steam, without even anything negative
it's not healthy
If that's not an opinion, I don't know what is.
For a yes or no answer, it seems pretty specific.
is it enough to disregard something someone says by labeling them a troll?
Well, goodbye and see you in 5.4 and 5.5 who have things ready
Mind you I didn’t say anything about active player io because I didn’t know how accurate it it could be inaccurate but didn’t feel the right to say anything if I was really trolling or misleading I would have said something
so, as usual
Sure, if this were just today, but every time he shows up, I don't see anything constructive.
i won't won't play tof in 5.4 and up probably
maybe i'll change my mind after 6.0 news, depends on what they are planning
Since it's not recent, I've already noticed the steps
what can be more constructive than including real numbers from the real platform in which game released as far as we can see
great
or is it better if everyone will say "game is kicking ass, millions of players, download and play"? Pog Pog Pog
how is it any better than google play with fake reviews on every fake mobile game ever?
Im waiting for a fix for the ps clientI did play it and im waiting for better optimization
No bro, you just need to be a normal person.
The game is active and there are people playing, I advise you to test it if it caught your attention, Then you can draw your own conclusions about whether you're going to play or not.
Simple and direct answer
normal by your standards is only when people agreeing with you
no one said people aren't playing the game, your problem is they said what you consider as "wrong" and "not normal"
although there's nothing wrong and "not normal" about it
Nobody cares about numbers, they care about fun.
even slightest derivative from your perception of reality lead to you attacking/slandering/belittling your opponent
that is what happening every time someone talk "not normal" about game you love so much
if that what you call normal, then no, i'll choose to stay "not normal" by any means
cheers

Well, coming from you who spreads missinfo around, like the one where PWG mentioned that PW NW didn't have P2W like Tarisland said, I don't really know if you say that

Well, goodbye since you're leaving the TOF
exactly what i'm talking about
you brush off everything as possibility, and only chose to accuse me of spreading misinfo
even after i said i was wrong
you want to be "on the right side of hisoty" even if it means alienate everyone around

The games' proposals are very different, one is solo player with co-op, and the other is looking for a MMORPG casual with gacha, with the tryhard MMORPG server without gacha probably coming out this month in China.
This is the news, it is not yet confirmed for global, but first they want to see the reception of the CN
And yes, a lot changes between the two servers.
nah, it's tower of adversity, wuwa stuff 
D*mn, How many days have passed? And no sign of the Sun.
Lol wth
I saw an article where a bunch of hand soaps were recalled...for bacterial contimination causing sepsis. Lol
Think about that. How badly you had to have MESSED UP at your job to contiminate HAND SOAP with massive amounts of bacteria capable of eating your flesh away if used on an open wound
You know the thing people would sometimes use hand soap to clean
Enough bacteria that it made the alcohols and antibiotics usually introduced into those things go "Nope. Nah. This is just unfair. We give up."
(Pretend those are bacterias and not viruses lol)
long story Short soap doesn’t kill bacteria it soap basically sticks to both water and germs oils etc and when you wash the soap off your hands the soap basically rips the germs off your skin
Meaning it’s worse then you think it’s so contaminated that I wouldn’t be surprised if 75% of the soap was just germs
Its basically too much how did a screw up this badly happen?
MEH OKAY BIO MAJOR lol I didn't want to get into the specifics but yes That is true...for natural soaps or the way they SHOULD be manufactured. Also it doesn't only just bind to the outside membrane of the bacteria but it helps rip it apart. This is actually why you can give yourself skin irritation by using too much soap.
Right now most HAND soaps meaning the liquid stuff is made with some sort of alcohol and or a antibiotic of somesort.
Why? Dunno. Regular soap works fine so not sure why people added those things in haha
