If JPs ever played Halo or Counterstrike they would be horrified by other players spamming the crouch key over their corpses.
Guilty of spamming /heal or /sit on a friend though.
Now that's what I call harassment. Volume :4 Thats now a bannable offense lol

I bet this continues even after this is all over. They did the same during covid for shipments and even to this day use it as an excuse. I got the same thing from Nendoroids I preordered from good smile.
Their initial statement was that they were closing preorders completely for the US and were working out figure out what to do about existing orders.
They still haven't shown any changes to my earlier preorders which seems to mean they might just be eating the costs.
Now they reopened pre-orders but they include about +$60 "Estimated Tariff Fee" this fee could increase or decrease before shipmen, but like super surprisingly they say at the end of the last bullet point "Customers will have the option to cancel their order within 7 days after receiving the order total" so when you get the final price you can just cancel it which could be a really bad for good smile since they would be left holding the product.
some will take advantage some will take on potentially too much risk, but this is the really reality of the situation with so much in flux, my company is working to mitigate a nebulous revenue risk that could be as large as 80 million.

I'm over 1000, but it get fuzzy with all the special event ones and temporary/weekly/monthly ones.
Plus I think the crafting shields and some advanced fishing objectives exist that most players won't obtain. (in fact you need to do certain things in game to get them to show in them in the menu) Not sure if these count in the tally or not.

Now people are gonna think I singled Visions of Mana out because of that. That was exactly what I thought, hence why I said "I see what you did there". I started New Games Suck because of that game I swear on both my parents, it was a coincidence. Maybe my subconscious guided me on that path.

They have over 200 items for over 20 jobs and probably one designer for all of this. I will be seriously impressed if it's gonna be anything beyond generic stats identical for every job.
That's easy for one guy these days...
Hey ChatGPT, please provide upgrade stats to all this gear taking into account the current available gear. Ensure the upgrades are true sidegrades and that there is disappointment all round.

Quote: Hello,
Thank you for pre-ordering Pokemon Scale World Johto Region Whitney & Miltank Figure Set (Standard Grade) from BigBadToyStore!
We are expecting this item to arrive soon and will begin processing pre-orders within several business days. This item is in a shipment that is subject to a tariff, and unfortunately, we need to increase our price. Because your pre-order was placed prior to the tariff announcements that took effect on April 9th, 2025, we will be absorbing most of the tariff increase. Unfortunately, we are not able to absorb the entire tariff increase, so we need to charge a higher price.
Your new pre-order price for this item has changed from $70.98 to $82.49. Please note that this price is lower than the new retail price listed on BigBadToyStore.com
A 40 dollar figure from Japan, made in China, becomes almost 80. These companies really think they are slick and pulling the "so sorry to have to do this"
I bet this continues even after this is all over. They did the same during covid for shipments and even to this day use it as an excuse. From another site I purchase from
Quote: Thank you for your purchase!
We are happy to inform you that your order is ready for shipment. This email is to inform you about the remaining balance and the shipping cost of this product.
The remaining balance of this product is 79 USD and we will attach this amount into the shipping invoice.
We have the following shipping methods that you may choose from:
International Priority Shipping (to United States)
- costs 54.5 USD
- shipping time (10-25 business days)
Please keep in mind that shipping turnaround times are extremely delayed due to the impacts of COVID19. The listed shipping time above is the usual turnaround, but may take longer due to COVID19.
How can there still be "extreme" delays... lol.

I'm more curious to find out if theres a difference in the boxes or they're just a red herring. I can't think of a situation or older system in the game that they have given us a "choice" before a RNGing a reward. My bet is the different chests do have a difference in reward pools, either higher probabilities for certain items, or each has a unique item only found in 1/3rd of the chests. Won't know until more data shows up.

I found a neat feature in Expedition 33 I've never seen in a game before. I'm working on my 100% and I came across this boss that "bounces" every attack. The timing to parry is very tight, but dodging is pretty easy. The guy has an absolute ton of HP (or I'm underleveled since it did say Danger entering the zone). The fight was dragging on for about 10-15mins as I slowly was widdling his HP down. The boss bounces more and more every turn, so I was dodging about 15-16 attacks per turn.
Eventually the boss just died after dodging 20+ moves. I was pretty surprised, but it's cool that the devs were like "let's not make them do this for hours".

Maybe not outright hate, but there was unmistakable provocation by people trying to get a rise out of those with opposing viewpoints. Over and over and over and over.... Come on, this isn't your first day on the internet.

Did the writing get better eventually? There are only 5 atm [unless you count the novellas]. Books 4-5 do a great job of portraying racial and social divides, mental health issues, and have representation of diverse sexualities that doesn't feel forced.
As far as the story itself, I guess it's a matter of opinion. I didn't feel like there was a dropoff and they are all very highly rated, but it's hard to account for taste.
I think it can be more of a pacing problem for me. Stormlight Archive has slower pace than some other Bradon's work. But the first book still has a beginning, twists in between a satisfying end. Then it got slower and slower after that.
Well it sounds like the pacing is likely all the same so if I want to pick it up again I'd need to get my patience buff up lol.
It's a fantasy novel, and it's not unusual to see fantasy setting story addressing racial issues tbh.

It's a complex issue that goes beyond video games and that people are obviously passionate about, which does tend toward heated discussions. And again I don't think you can pinpoint one particular post, but at some point people need to take a break, and it was clear it wasn't going to happen on its own.

If you want a good example of inclusive modern writing that doesn't sacrifice story, have a read through The Stormlight Archive, particularly the last couple books. That isn't what game companies have been putting out.
Which one?
I read the first book and I loved it, then starting from second one it gets progressively worse. So I dropped it at 3rd or maybe 4th something.

Finally, the pronoun is back to normal. ;0
I have always called you a "she" lol. I honestly didn't mind the pronoun thing. I don't mind calling people by their proffered pronoun.
Well...I get that people often use "he" on the internet is because the "women don't exist on internet" meme ;p
Plus I am quite a bro-culture lover myself so sometimes I just act more manly on the internet than normal, which may cause people using "he" to address me lol.
I never for a second thought that you were male. Always thought you were a girl. lol. You and Chanti talk like girls. Like, the way you phrase and react to things give it away.
Hey, but I love parse competition in FFXI! I thought that's manly enough for me to join the cool Bros!

because Nynja was like "thank God we're not pandering to freaks anymore" that they're not "normal" or somehow lesser for wanting to see themselves represented in modern gamea you people are the most butter-soft babies imaginable I have yet to see a usage of "woke" in the wild that doesn't boil down to "I don't think other people are people" ...
the last word is the definition of this job when it comes to moderation; Anyway, enough of this in RT. I'm gonna have to push back again and say that you're using your position to push your political views and misrepresenting what Nynja actually said. If you want to say the topic is not appropriate, why is it appropriate for you to affirm that your view on it is 'the correct view' in the same post?
His comment was in regards to the behavior of companies, not individuals. If a 'return to normalcy' is a gaming company advertising to men and not displaying a pride banner, then his view of abnormal is a company using those techniques.
I can't speak for anyone else, but my issue with 'woke' culture is that corporate pandering rarely results in high-quality writing or character development. Making half of the cast LGBT and talking about in a game that isn't at all sexual isn't offensive because LGBT people exist, it's because the entire dialogue only exists to make sure we know they're included. It isn't relevant to the game and it breaks immersion.
If you want a good example of inclusive modern writing that doesn't sacrifice story, have a read through The Stormlight Archive, particularly the last couple books. That isn't what game companies have been putting out.
I'm not going to pretend everyone against it sees things the same way I do or that hate doesn't exist. But, I didn't see any hate in that thread.
