Oh geeze, didn’t expect a response here. Cheers, but I manage to lose a late 50/50 so working to get a last few primos to hit a second one. Did get three XQ cons though.

Honestly, I think this is one way that the Genshin Impact community isn’t thinking things through. Losing the 50/50 can actually be a good thing - if it happens early. The honest truth here is that pulling a five star, any five star fast is good news since otherwise you have a fifty percent chance of pulling the wrong…

Not really surprised, even back when I had to use the queue they made me post a hundred times, despite having bought a bunch of products from them for the 900 series.

That’s where I got my MSRP card, no idea what things are like there now though. I don’t tend to track the practical situation unless I’m thinking about buying.

If my old computer (it was from the 900 series) hadn’t given up the ghost I’d have done this too. As is, despite getting a card at MSRP I overpaid enormously, and spent six months playing RMA bingo. One of the less mentioned things that’s happened lately is customer support has gone down the drain, so that was... not…

To be clear, I’m looking to get Xingqiu constellations while I roll for Zhongli, and if I hit C5 on him I may pick him up instead of Yun Jin for the Lantern Rite festival.

I’m rolling for Zhongli so I figure good chance I get those anyways (and I’m nowhere near his C6. I may be tempted if I wind up on C5 though).

I’m not proposing it as a solution, I’m pointing out that the current law is so awful it might still be less bad to just eliminate it.

I’ll be honest, in its current form copyright law is basically a blight on society. It causes so many problems that just ripping it out might cause less to put in perspective. Nonetheless, all the money on this is on the other side, so it’s unlikely we’ll see any sort of fix for what a mess it is.

It’s older than you think, honestly Citizens United was barely the removal of a speed bump for this problem - it dates back to the birth of modern lobbying in the 80s, and arguably its first acid test in the 90s when it got Republicans to turn away from environmentalism.

Frankly I’ve said it before, but can we go back to enforcing anti-trust law again? It was obvious a long time ago that the new precedents set in the 70s were harming the public, and frankly have basically murdered off a huge and important part of our economic and legal system.

Apologies, it didn’t even occur to me - Deep Rock Galactic.

Frankly, it’s how tight the gameplay cycle is, and particularly the implementation of expansions to it (such as the characters tools) that work with eachother. Basically there’s a bunch of subsystems there working together to make pacing incredibly tight.

I’ve got to be honest, while I might try it, so far the only game to live up to the idea of being a successor for L4D is DRG. Which both has tighter gameplay synergies, and expands thoroughly on the concept. I feel like at this point anything below that just doesn’t live up to the premise.

... Lost Ark has a release date? I legitimately don’t know what to say to that.

Excellent catch, thanks for pointing this out.

No idea how reliable it is, but I ran a search for player count and used a site called MMO Populations.

I was confused by how this game continues to receive so much coverage, then I went and checked player numbers. How is Destiny 2 the second most played MMO after WoW? I mean, there are so many problems with it that it’s absurd. Even before some of these, it just... wasn’t a very good game. To be fair, I’d say the same…

Do the math is good advice in general (or use an optimizer), but it does kind of emphasize my point there.

I have to admit, I figured you guys would cover what happened to that leaker.
