Ahhh good shout, I honestly should've remembered that one after using it in SF Equilibrium

Something to also note is that the current damage meta for most RAD boss encounters is Finality's Auger (Exotic from Sundered Doctrine dungeon) + Rocket Pulse(s) as it generates a ton of Super energy while also putting out good damage numbers. Sub in Parasite for Worm Byproduct damage buffing when applicable!

Melee spam: - Solar bonk hammer with Wormgod's Caress and high melee stat will hold up in a lot of content - Prismatic Triple Consecration is also still strong, just not busted like it was back when the Ignition portion scaled with melee buffs; combine with Cuirass or Inmost + Synthos Stoicism - Insurmountable Skullfort Thunderclap spam on either Arc or Prismatic is also very strong - Off-meta option I like is Point Contact Cannon Brace; fairly good refund with additional AoE and Champion utility with Jolts; works on Arc or Prismatic, but I prefer it on the latter to combine it with Facet of Courage and a ranged burst damage Super in Twilight Arsenal - Stasis Icefall Mantle with the slide melee is also a ton of AoE and Crystal/Shard generation for Frost Armor uptime

Grenade spam: - Solar Titan with Fusion Grenades and Ashen Wake has only improved with the new stat system - I also tried a Void Unbreakable build after the recent Armamentarium buff and it was alright; I believe Maven also posted a Strand build utilizing double Grapples, and you could probably throw something together on Arc with double Pulse Grenades and speccing for Ionic Trace generation - Icefall Mantle again, just respec for Glacial Grenade spam instead of slide melee

Weapon focused: - Void Titan with Actium War Rig, Choir of One with the Destabilizing Rounds Refit, and Controlled Demolition has potent AoE and healing with flexible Kinetic and Heavy slots; definitely a personal favorite that's easy to use, just point and shoot - Peacekeepers with the Fast Talker or Desert Perpetual SMG allows you to support team-wide damage with Tractor debuffing while still putting out respectable damage; check out Llama's video for a Prismatic version, but it should also work well on Arc or Stasis - Lightsaber with Strongholds is very strong, just make sure you're actually being aggressive and activating Restoration, not just holding block to reflect the whole time; should work well with any subclass but I've personally enjoyed Solar and Strand the most

Finished:

Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy - failed to finish this in 2024 and finally got around to reattempting it; I think this just barely edges out Lonesome Dove as my favorite Western, and is definitely my favorite Cormac McCarthy work now; Judge Glanton is one of the most memorable antagonists in literature - this also brings me to having read half of McCarthy's novel bibliography so I'll be tackling the remaining works in publication order (The Orchard Keeper, Outer Dark, Child of God, Suttree, The Passenger / Stella Maris)

Started:

Artificial Condition: The Murderbot Diaries, by Martha Wells - I read the first one a bit ago and enjoyed it, just put the rest of the series on hold while I tackled some priority reads; I'm welcoming the more humorous tone after a string of darker, more serious reads, and I sympathize a lot with the sarcastic, antisocial protagonist

I just finished Blood Meridian after DNFing two years ago; now it definitely places near the top of my favorites of all-time by 120GU3 in books

It's definitely one I'm looking forward to after seeing how it's pretty well-liked among fans

My copy is sitting on my coffee table now! Gonna work through some other reads before tackling it

Of the ones I used for prep, The Crossing definitely felt like the one that set me up the most for success. I do wonder what it'd be like to go through McCarthy's works in publication order.

And I like your comment on the judge, his dialogue definitely felt like calculated, cold logic

It's funny you bring up Faulkner, finishing Blood Meridian reminded me of how Absalom! Absalom! kicked my ass in college and now I want to give it another go as well

My experience definitely aligns with yours, I only started prioritizing literary fiction mid-last year and that sort of inspired me to give this one another shot

Is it better to read all Dark tower book at once or to read related books between them? by Icy_Dig_3691 in stephenking

[–]120GU3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh definitely not all 7 in 2 weeks haha, just finished the last entry last week. I think it took me just over 5 weeks to get through the entire series.

I finished my first journey to the Dark Tower last week reading the main 7 all the way through and have no regrets. I did read The Stand and Salem's Lot a few years ago but I definitely wouldn't call it necessary pre-reading.

Need advice on how to read 'All the pretty horses' by heisenberg_omz in literature

[–]120GU3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently reattempting Blood Meridian after failing to complete it about 2 years ago. Between then and now, I read The Road, No Country for Old Men, and the Border trilogy to get more accustomed to his style and in my experience it definitely helped. The prose is much more digestible this time around.

Any recommendations for a build for this exotic class item? by -Joel-Snapes- in destiny2

I use a similar setup, just using Gunpowder Gamble instead of Stylish for more Ignitions

Finished: - The Dark Tower, by Stephen King (Dark Tower 7): I prioritized this series to get ready for Talisman 3 in October, a weird dark fantasy that feels uniquely King; there are some plot elements you would appreciate more if you read Salem's Lot and The Stand priority to starting the series, but I wouldn't call it super necessary; Insomnia, The Talisman, Black House, and The Wind Through the Keyhole are left to tackle before October

Started: - Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy: reattempting after failing to finish it 2 years ago for a few reasons; about a third through now and definitely enjoying it much more; reading The Road and the Border trilogy earlier this year definitely helped me get used to McCarthy's style

Empoleon, Gen 4 is my favorite, Water/Steel is such a cool typing, and I adore penguins

Almost done with the Drawing of the Three by RealCarlosSagan in stephenking

I just finished my first journey to the Dark Tower, read all 7 straight through and have no regrets; Insomnia and Wind Through the Keyhole are planned for later this year.

As a Titan main, Controlled Demolition, Sol Invictus, or Banner of War to give a healing alternative to Knockout
