As usual, here you are trying to downplay the threat posed by MAGA terrorists. How proud you must be of them terrorizing the side you hate most.
Quickly rushing to judgement like you always do is always going to get more people hurt.

TopicWhy do people say "overtuned" now instead of "overpowered"
Lord_Ephraim
12/29/22 10:01:34 PM
#37
Overtuned is labelled as a character with way too much going for them. Individually their pieces might not be powerful but together it makes them unstoppable.

Overpowered is simply definined mostly by one or two traits/abilties that stand out among the rest of the cast.

It's possible to be overtuned and overpowered at the same time. T.G Cid from Final Fantasy Tactics can be considered both because of his bloated skillset (containing all of the ranged sword skills) with amazing stats and equipment pool to boot.

12/28/22 1:12:36 AM

Pack filler is important because it makes actual good cards more expensive and harder to print/obtain.

TopicChained Echoes
Lord_Ephraim
12/26/22 1:10:13 AM
#50
I'm not sure how I like plot based stat progression in RPGs. I didn't like it in Chrono Cross. Another thing is that since HP/TP are restored every battle the game can be balanced around tough normal monsters. In the end it works nicely because you can avoid most encounters. Dungeons are set in a way to have a handful of battles before the boss. It'd be nice if enemy's drop loot at at 100% rate and not rely on that "80%" steal ability. Also the game just randomly drops F bombs out of left field and from characters I wouldn't suspect to just swear a bunch. I don't like it.

It sucks that Sea of Stars got delayed to summer 2023 because it looks so much better than Chained Echoes.

I took a college course called "Organization and Leadership skills" Basically teaches you how to deal with people in the work/school place. It was basically "group work the class". Out of 25 students you had to work together with every single one by a weekly basis.

Half way into the semester, the professor began grouping people based on certain personally traits from a quiz he gave at the start of the semester. One group would have people who wouldn't get along have an easy assignment and a different group would have people who get along together have something more difficult. It was an interesting course and got me to learn about all sorts of personality traits on a hands-on approach. Helps that everyone are adults and aren't quick to judge people based on appearances.

TopicHow did USPS become a much better shipping service than UPS and FEDEX
Lord_Ephraim
12/07/22 7:58:32 AM
#8
UPS is superior to Fedex because the former is unionized. UPS couriers are actual employees that are paid $30+ a hour.
Fedex employs contractors to do most of its ground game and contractors pay less than $15 a hour or "by stops". When you work for a contractor you are not a Fedex employee and thus do not get any benefits.
USPS contracts Fedex and UPS to handle a large portion of its postal.

Honestly they're all pretty much the same shitty mail service that maximized profit while not paying enough to employees that had to work through the full force of lockdowns while everyone else got to stay home and get paid by the government.

The hardest difficulty in Triangle Strategy is brutal. You absolutely cannot let any of your weaker HP units in range of any attack. Take advantage that most battles do not have rush objectives, so you can afford to turtle and take out one enemy at a time. If you do not like that style of gameplay, then switch the difficulty down.

Not clicking on the video. Can TC provide some context?

The top complaint I hear about Super Metroid is that the controls are too floaty. This mostly comes from players who jumped to Super Metroid AFTER playing Metroid Zero Mission. Yes, Zero Mission has a more fluid controls, but that doesn't detract much from the Super Metroid experience considering the 6-7(?) year gap between the games.

Lord_Ephraim

Breath of Fire games have class defined roles but with statisical growth manipulation allowing you to shore up a character's weakness or strengthen their role better

Lunar games have 5 party members with defined roles like fighter, priest, offensive mage, status inflicting mage etc.

Legend of Dragoon has huge character disparity where the physical tank is near immune to physicals with gargantuan HP but dies to a slight magical breeze.

Final Fantasy X can be beaten without moving off the beaten path on the Sphere Grid. Completion of a member's grid is considered perfect for endgame stats.

You think these trucks have essensial goods but nope, it's filled with garbage like golf clubs and plastic fake deers.
If diesel fuel was "running out" our management would be freaking out. Well, they are but because they have a shortage of drivers, not driving fuel.
