Lottery, easy. I don’t want to have to watch everyone I love die while also trodding through the later years with deteriorating health at half-speed (kinda like the reasons why I wouldn’t want to be invincible, but like… you don’t have enough time to go emotionally numb from it like you would from being immortal). I’d rather take the money and live the normal amount of time in better quality.
Yea. I feel like Beehaw cutting a lot of the larger general communities out from two of the biggest instances is highlighting early a major hurdle that’s gonna make the whole fediverse thing difficult to get a lot of people on board with. I don’t want to have to keep making new accounts to access stuff, but like… half of the communities I had subscribed to are just gone now because the admins over there decided they don’t want to play with anyone else, I guess.
I almost made a Beehaw account since I saw a bunch of the communities I wanted to join were on there and it kept logging me out when I went to them.
I managed to figure it out after seeing that making an account there needs an essay. So I guess I’m just gonna stay based here, waiting to see if and when kbin opens itself up to the rest of the fediverse (since I joined there first but came here when I saw that kbin is currently blocking itself off from everyone else, which is exactly what I didn’t want when making the jump from Reddit to the fediverse).
No ranks. You get paired against an opponent and you two play until someone gets 10 cubes. If you win, you get some extra rewards (some coins for a new shop that was added with the mode) and a ticket to move up to the next bracket. Higher bracket means more coins for winning, but also more wins required before you can advance to the next bracket. 1 win, then 2 wins, then 3 wins, then 5 wins. If you lose, you go back to the bottom bracket and work your way back up.
It’s pretty much just regular snap but 1) no ranks to lose, 2) an extra currency that you get as you win, and 3) you play the same opponent a couple games in a row, so you can start strategizing after the first game since you know what deck they’re using now.
I’ve been playing for the last three seasons now. I was going to break my F2P status to get Ghost-Spider but the decisions made by the developers the last month or two made me decide full-out against putting any money into the game if they don’t pull their heads out of their ass.
As someone who was actually excited for Overwatch 2, man is it just one disappointment after another. From new heroes being locked away behind the battle passes, to the cosmetics system being complete garbage now, to now this… damn. Just damn. I was willing to forgive the three years they spent letting OW1 rot before they completely destroyed it, but everything has just been so bad.
Still chewing through TotK when I have free time to. Hoping I can get to a point where I’m happy taking a break by the time Pikmin 4 releases.
It’ll sort itself out. Kinda like how you could have a bunch of different subreddits about the same thing (r/gaming vs r/games vs r/videogames, for example) but one always bubbles up to be the biggest main community. Similar will happen here. There’ll be many instances for the same thing, but eventually there’ll be “the one” that becomes the unofficial official one.
When I first started, I figured that getting better armor and beating dungeons would get me heart containers so I opted for getting a full second stamina wheel first. After I did that, I picked up heart containers until I was at 12 hearts (two dungeon ones and the rest from shrines) before I went for the third stamina wheel. I think it worked out pretty well.
