On the other hand, the entire ad was about the "shiney collectibles" aspect, and the actual utility of those cards (ie, battling) was barely an afterthought. That doesn't say great things about their priorities here
I mean I know they said battling would be streamlined, but realistically the entire format is basically already laid out for them, since it's literally just taking the tcg and making it digital. As a result, there's very little to actually show off on the front of gameplay, especially considering that everyone who cares probably already plays tcg online anyway.
I finally bothered to set up dolphin on my (vaguely) new computer and get all the roms transferred over, so I'm enjoying a challenge run on pokepark Wii where I don't upgrade anything at all. Overall the game is pretty easy, but there have been a good few challenges that require either a lot of luck, or really figuring out the games AI.
Most people would consider a house that's 30-40 years old at end-of-life
That's pretty interesting to me. The house I grew up in was built in the late 50s, as was the entire neighborhood, making it just under 40 years old by the time I was born, and it's still there today, with the only major renovations being redoing the flooring and replacing appliances.
Is the shorter lifespan more of just a cultural thing, or is it a matter of how housing is built? Because I can certainly see the pricing if it's the latter and it's nearing the point of requiring major maintenance.
Thanks for the link, definitely an interesting time browsing. And sorry to keep bothering you about Japanese real estate, I'm sure you have more interesting things to think about, but looking at it, the offerings on the "under 20 million yen" page just seem absurdly too good to be true. Like, looking at something like This, 1100 square feet, seemingly fairly recent renovations and built in '94, parking for 3 cars, and only 35 minute walk from the station, yet it's listed for 11.7 million yen/78k usd? Like, from an American perspective, it looks like some Craigslist scam to get your banking info. Is there something getting lost in between cultures? Is the Japanese market really just that much cheaper?
Lmao I remember that thread. It was when I realized that this site was hardly better than reddit in terms of people just wanting everything they don't like censored. I made a dozen or so accounts on other instances to get around defeds as a result. I'm just glad that I can use a proper multi-account app instead of trying to manage everything manually these days
Poking around, there are freestanding houses as well in that range, but they cannot be rebuilt so you're stuck with the existing structure
Could you link an example or something on whatever Japanese zillow is? Because this seems absolutely intriguing to me, if only to see what it looks like.
if every game has one cheater in it, no one will play your game
Exactly this. Any game that even hopes to have a remotely decent competitive community needs to have a solid way of not just targeting cheaters after the fact, but in keeping them out of games. Because even if it's just something like 1 in 5 games being decided by cheats, if people become aware of it, any value people placed on a competitive ladder are going to evaporate overnight.
And for what it's worth, I fully support the ability to do things like local matches or private servers where anti cheat is partially or entirely disabled. I love modding and letting people play their own game their own way. But when it starts impacting other people's experiences, there need to be rules in place and enforced.
Oh, and for those people saying that no anti cheat should exist, go hop in an online match of splatoon 1 on Wii u, and honestly tell me if that's what you want out of a competitive game. Because that's what not targeting cheaters gets you
If you like it, feel free. But it still isn't particularly conducive to debate if it's just your own line in the sand and you don't particularly care what anyone else thinks.
Lmao good. Maybe he can get his ass out of the way and let someone competent make games instead
