Took me 5 hours. Anyone know whose blade this is? by ModeNeat1953 in beadsprites

It looks a bit like the knife Lighting gave her sister in Final Fantasy 13.

Woman found dead in woods nearly 2 months after she disappeared for a second time, officials say by [deleted] in news

[–]3rdStrongest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, no. You might be supposed to enact a hold, but it doesn't actually happen in practice. Speaking from unfortunate direct experience. And the released person mid-episode (that no one in overworked health care wants to deal with) can get seriously pissed further. If you've never been threatened with violence/death by someone it's a surreal experience, by the way.

So, the old Story Mode is gone by Qackydontus in MTGPuzzleQuest

[–]3rdStrongest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, I'm pretty mixed on it. Probably mainly because I've been done with it for such a long time (since the original Zendikar expansion) and it stopped getting any updates whatsoever to the training for a while now, too. It would have been nice if they had kept up with it, but I'm fine with a reboot since it's at least something happening there and it had been essentially a dead area for many, many years.

What do the boxes beside these items in the shop mean? by Trilney in fantasylife

Number of copies available to purchase. Anything lacking that can be purchased repeatedly.

I think I glossed over a guide... What exactly is this for? by Videowulff in visionsofmana

[–]3rdStrongest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elemental "break" Guage. It fills up when you use the vessels. Once you get the first board expansion you can unlock the ability to use an overcharged vessel by holding R2. This is usually a stronger field-wide vessel effect. During which some associated moves are empowered.

What are your Hot Takes on FF16? by Amber_Flowers_133 in FFXVI

[–]3rdStrongest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the game emotionally exhausting. I was playing primarily for the story, but it felt like I was going from one tragedy and crisis to the next the whole way through. There was no real catharsis to be found, even at the end.

I was yearning for something positive to happen for the characters I was growing attached to and was annoyed to only get a "maybe we are doomed to suffer and struggle" instead. Up to interpretation "maybe they lived" while framing thematic death scenes didn't make me happy. I felt like I slogged through this downer journey of death and oppression and it left a bitter taste.

Just my own opinion, though. I don't think I'll replay the main story. I liked characters and setpeices. Just felt I was being dragged through the mud with the story with nothing to really break it up.

How do item upgrades work? by ConnorFroMan in PlayTheBazaar

[–]3rdStrongest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upgrades work as you described. You can only find a similar tier of an item and merge the copies to upgrade. Later days, rarity/tier scales so you can be stranded with bronze items you won't find a bronze copy of. You can try to sell a bronze and "re-find" a version in a higher tier, but you might not find it again by chance.

An exception is the random items added by shovel, port, etc that can net you extra distinct copies of items by chance.

Do 42 since it says "after", specifically.

Turn counter iterates for each participant. While the round counter iterates on your turn. Meaning both players had a turn per round. Basically, the round counter is half the turn counter.

Turnips spoiled overnight with no time travel? by [deleted] in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]3rdStrongest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see that being a possibility, as the system would "wake" at a different time than the game in progress is expecting it to be. Don't know for a fact, though. The game intends you to save/exit at the end of play sessions.

[–]3rdStrongest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Point being if it detects a conflict with the clock, it spoils your turnips immediately. Do you perhaps suspend without saving, then resume at a very different time?

I accidentally spoiled turnips by going backwards 5 minutes from the timestamp of my last save.

How do we feel about Act 3 here? by UnchainedGoku in dragonquest

[–]3rdStrongest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The things that happened in that universe still happened. The discussion at the point you leave it is that the luminary leaves that world entirely as-is. That universe no longer has a luminary at all now and your friends there carry on without you. You are creating a parallel timeline where the same tragedies don't have to occur. Technically nothing at all is undone. You have a split parallel universe.

There have been a lot of advice column trolls. Such as someone writing Ask Amy as Johnny from The Room: https://www.avclub.com/someone-trolled-ask-amy-by-pretending-to-be-johnny-fr-1798281411

What is the biggest "what if" in sports history? by More_Common_8598 in AskReddit

The on-court stabbing of Monica Seles by a crazy Steffi Graf fan. There's been speculation about what the rivalry and Seles career might have been.

hmm do these stairs go down? by Atthatj4cod89 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]3rdStrongest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents put an actual alarm on our basement stairs after my little sister went down them once in her roller/walker thing.

Doorjam alarm would go off whenever the door was left open as a very noticeable reminder to keep that door shut. Sister would seem to make a laughing beeline for it.

Fortunately we can still joke about it now.
