C&C Power Hour

I have reached maximum capacity for names. If I don't already know your name, I will address you as whatever anime character role I believe you to play in my life (friend, rival, mentor that will die a tragic death and allow me to unlock my true power, etc.)

@AleksLeVO @alisontheperson Been a huge fan of your roles and how you share your joy for the video game ones through streaming, so I was super stoked when your name was announced! Can't wait to play the expansion next week!

@alisontheperson JUST WATCHED THE DOC IT’S SOOOO COOL THANK YOU FOR THE SHOUT OUT THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAV PROJECTS THIS YEAR 😭🙏

@G0ffThew 100%. This is why "these actors look like they're in cosplay" just kills me when I see it. Like, do you know how much research and work cosplayers put in to look as meticulously accurate to the source material as possible while making the clothes functional???

the costume and production designers on this show all deserve medals.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony, but on Tuesday the 11th they'll be the topic of our latest charity roundtable! Join these fans of the show at 8 pm Eastern as they discuss the new Avatar set while raising money for @SickKidsToronto!

@RyukiRider98 @cloudynyxx I think you're misreading that point of the thread. It's not about saying adaptions need to be 100% faithful to be worthy of being made otherwise the source material is better, it's that authenticity isn't a decisively positive factor on its own, other things are important too.

@cloudynyxx Eeehhhhhh I was kinda with you…. Up until the “if I wanted an authentic version of the story I’d read the manga” cuz, by that logic, why make an adaptation of a manga anyway? By that logic, why should any of these exist is what I’m saying. Yes I snuck Invincible in there

Here is a comparison of the animated sequences. FMAB might follow the entire manga more accurately, but 03 has a much more cohesive vision, and the scenes that it adapted faithfully do an excellent job at elevating the source material. 🧵

@ShinuDesuNya @keyokku It's cheaper the more meals you buy, too. At 12 meals a week I pay $13 a meal, which is cheaper than going to get fast food. It's so convenient if you live by yourself. Compared to shopping, cooking, and cleaning for one person, the time it saves is worth the cost to me.

@keyokku mmm I see.. fair enough. I just never knew if it was a good deal or not most of the time so never bothered to try any meal plans

I can honestly tell you after 4 weeks of cookunity, it is the best ready to heat meal plan ever, and it's no lie that they're made by top chefs, you actually taste quality in flavor, way it's made, and fresh ingredients, and servings are actually some of the best, super good

@keyokku I sound like a bot when I talk about them but I've used them for years and I want to use them forever. None of the other services I tried even come close to quality or variety, and if I ever have an issue, their customer service responds with a resolution in less than a day.

@haligtreeOracle I like Trobbio conceptually but every element being a slightly different shade of the same color made it so frustrating to keep track of what was going on.

Everyone was calling widow overstimulating but I actually just felt my brain short circuit fighting trobbio

New set means a new Roundtable and we have a spectacular group! Join us on Tuesday, September 16 at 8 pm Eastern as these amazing folks get together to talk about the new Spider-Man set and you can donate to The Trevor Project for the chance to win one of our sensational prizes!

@SpectralAurora_ It is a limiting factor but also a sign that the player should take a break from the fight and re-evaluate their strategy. Also most fights can be done without them.

worst feature in silksong is having to grind for shell shards while attempting boss fights. horrible implementation, do not know why they thought it was a good idea to punish you for doing multiple attempts

@stillman_steve @toriofthevast Ayyyy congrats to you both!!!

@snailsafe Shit, you might be right

Not to self diagnose but I think it's Thursday

@MacticsG1 @Destiny2Team This got missed with the criticisms, but this puts us ahead of where we were. That TWID said completion rewards will have a chance to drop as primes, and Bonus Drops (not Bonus Focus) are considered completion rewards. So if you hop activities, you get 1-3 more chances at primes.

@Destiny2Team This is good, thank you, but now we are back to where we started. Would LOVE to see this momentum carried forward in the upcoming TWID with increased reward for engaging activity VARIETY + ways to speed up the power grind through HARD content like raids. Fingers crossed <3

We've been working through player feedback from the previous TWID and reassessing our announced rewards updates for the Portal. We will be reverting the following changes which were planned for Destiny 2 Update 9.1.0: 💠Planned reductions to Power earned for a given grade within Solo Ops have been reverted 💠Planned reductions of Engrams earned in Encore, Starcrossed, and Whisper have been reverted We will have additional information in the TWID regarding next steps in improving rewards for Portal experiences.

@XFAngel98 @Gigz They mention in the TWID that primes are easy to miss right now, which is true below 400 where every drop is + power. At 400 you immediately know when you get one because they're T5, but tbh that will change at 500 because T5s will be more frequent so primes will be less obvious.

@CnCPowerHour @Gigz Maybe its just so it doesnt just go to post master and people miss it idk id love some reasoning behind the cryptarch changes.

A couple weeks ago we were told the speed of leveling is slower than Bungie intended, but the changes today just extended the final 50 levels by an additional 50+ hours. 400-450 was 116 hours and now it'll be 175 hours. 167 hours if doing pinnacle ops. Shoutout Skull for nerding

@XFAngel98 @Gigz It does not. I'd be interested in seeing that, but it'd be hard to account for swapping solo ops for various bonus rewards since those aren't consistently awarded, each activity will have different times, and now you have to add in traveling to the tower to decrypt each prime.

@Gigz Does this account for the increased prime drop chance for each additional reward? Genuinely curious.

@A_dmg04 I have had a lot of fun this expansion (currently 426). I am looking forward to more ways to play in the Portal. But there are no real incentives to play activities outside the Portal right now, and nerfing the activities people ARE playing feels super punishing.

@A_dmg04 Please revert these negative changes and increase rewards in activities that are lagging behind. The grind challenge was already there with primes being so random. Maybe even add more ways to guarantee primes, even if they're limited to once a week like pinnacles were before EoF.

Twid live. Ask questions. Tell us what you like. Give feedback. Ty!

@MariaMediaHere Ayyyy happy birthday!!!!

it’s my birthday unfortunately

@TravissPastrami @PaulTassi I honestly think a lot of folks just don't know. You have to inspect a non-custom modifier in the modifier screen. I'd be a little less frustrated by it if it was directly on the score card or somewhere way more obvious.

@CnCPowerHour @PaulTassi Same. I always try to kill everything I can, but it seems everyone I match with just tries to kill the boss as quickly as they possibly can. It’s super frustrating, because I always end close to an A, but never quite there.

very frustrating to do a run of something and end up with a B+ for no discernable or trackable reason and ruin three bonus drops
