what the fuck

oh it definitely sold a shitload, it's just interesting to me that it seems to be retaining players much less than world did

if i said underperforming it's in relation to world (and people staying with it) and not "oh it's actually selling like ass" or smth

"it's doing objectively pretty well, but feels like it's underperforming, especially when compared to its predecessor" i think is it, and i DO NOT know enough about like

the industry and how people make decisions on what to play and whatnot, to be able to go more than "huh, seems weird"

they don't just overwrite each other, that's true, and i would be very dumb to argue that - we agree that that shouldn't be the case! mh definitely seems to have... stickier fans than a lot of game

i am not sure how to articulate what i want to say here, sorry

I'm not saying it's not???

split (bibl binpan) @splitpunched.bsky.social · 1d

i am not sure "all of them have their own qualities and are good" really contradicts "it seems bad that mh wilds has sometimes dropped below its predecessor already"

especially comparing the player counts at each one's lifecycle

especially considering that world came out well after being on ps4

in fairness: the player count is up due to a recent patch, and it's also competing against mh world

its average player count has dropped *below* world at points, which is... not great!

oh God what are people mad about with mizuki now

not that i super follow project sekai but mizuki drama has always been the most bewildering because it's always seemed obvious what the intent is

there's a lot less regard for how the cards fit in (not just thematically, but mechanically too) because they're just slamming more and more stuff out for Content, basically

at least that's what it appears to me from what i have read and watched (also: the spider-man thing is very funny)

i maintain this should be re-added as a deliberate feature for being cool as fuck

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

are you suggesting that my inability to write a 15 page paper before the night before, despite *actively attempting to, multiple times* and being unable to give it my full attention, means i might have some sort of deficit in my attention mitigated only by novelty or urgency?

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

that guy is also adamant the original translation is better

because when you level down, you level down in the class you are *currently in*, not the class that you got that level with

this is important because different jobs have different growth rates for different stats

note that these trap locations are fixed on any given map

you can walk on one and de-level, then walk off, then walk on, but if you have teleport it's easier since failing a teleport and landing on it again will re-trigger it

note: de-levelling also allows you to do the REAL SWEATY powergaming

okay so there are two ways:
- get a mindflayer with someone with beastmaster next to it; they have some sort of level down skill, but i haven't used it
- walk on a level down trap; there's a lot of places that have them, i know zeklaus desert does

when you say figure out, do you mean you do not want me to explain?

i will if you want, i just want to make sure I'm not spoiling something you want to find out on your own

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

lol they are hiding comments left and right boy howdy they sure do want to control the messaging around this in any and every way other than just pulling it down!

Think I know where this one heads, enjoy the nazi bar fellas!

split (bibl binpan) @splitpunched.bsky.social · 11d

also they apparently don't like your posts because they're now hidden

should have popped off to do a racism instead, that's okay :)
