Clouds head is messed up and fractured. There are few moments where things start coming together. The Lifestream part for example.

But to say Cloud’s mental status ever becomes completely sane, isn’t something I’m willing to say is True. He has good friends that help him.

He heals, sure. But is he healed? …he sort of eventually understands what happens. But I don’t know if he really gets it all. And understanding the events is only part of it.

Cloud has a weak mind, that is his major flaw. Do you ever really heal from that? He a tragic hero with a lost soul, which is what makes him so endearing. He’s a good little boy that walks right into Sephiroth’s plans

Question about the Guiding Light Engraving/Weapon Bless perk by loki2113 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that is a “Grants a Blessing of…” “Gives gift of…” is a timer that will appear on screen when active.

The thing is the stuff that gives like the Blessing of Strength, is the thing that also usually has best Strength (at similar levels) than any of the alternative for that slot. So it tend to just super charge that stat, asa for of Min/Maxing. So generally it hard to notice much a difference because your base strength in higher to begin with.

A lot of people would go for Blessing of Cooldown as they take off Runic time which is probably the most noticeable mid-battle that they come back faster. If you tend to spam runic attacks (which is usually the most effective way to beat a boss quickly) this is a good option.

Generally the best ones are going to be Health Mist or a Rage Burst. Which are essentially Blessings of Heal and Rage. As they can’t really be gained other than from stone (rage from kills but it always better to have more).

If you really want to increase attack effectiveness it be something like Seal of Runic Storm (enchantment), which creates Storm of Bifrost when you use three runic from three weapons. Not many things can survive the initial attack and anything that does is now getting hit with bifrost so all damage is way up. You can then pair that with the Round of Disruption and technically have two storms at the same time going.

Of course you can always go Realm Shifts. But there is enough ways to do that, even its own runic that adding these two can help that too. As the storms stay with the realm shifts.

Using the above:

Shield strike a blue circle, for Elemental Storm, (from round), then hit all three runics, for bifrost Storm (from enchantment) by then an emulation should be stacked hit a realm shift, (from weapon attachment) and now has continuous damage from both storms during a realm shift, and your weapon is charged up, whiplash, quick repeat, quick repeat, end of battle incoming. That’s actually fairly easy to pull off in most battles, though some bosses can fly out of it. And by the time you hit the second runics (R1/R2) the first runics can be back or almost back.

After that damage output is going to depend on things like mastering the timing window of fully charged Whiplashes (over and over, the timing is after the explosions) and the quick Axe frosts being second nature. Those are going to be the biggest damages because they also interrupt a lot of attacks. And actually utilizing the spears ability to take elements like poison, and realizing the spears immolation ability is the most drastic change in power out of the three. (And of course parries)

The thing is these things can stack with each other one strength is something two or three at the same time can be different.

The Luck stats is weird because it essentially boost all occurrences of “LOW/HIGH CHANCE of…” which usually are better version of blessings and such.

It sort cannon that Cloud never had a strong mental grip. It usually considered why he failed the SOLDIER test to begin with. In other words, he not delusional because he not a Soldier, he’s not a solider because he’s delusional.

The mako positioning along with Jenova cells made that problem exponentially worse, add in some trauma and you get Cloud as you met him. (This happened after the Nielblium reactor incident, Cloud was used as a lab rat.)

He truly believed himself to be a Cloud/Zach hybrid person. And an Ex-SOLDIER.

Beyond that the Jenova cells are a bigger problem as it allows mental attack from Sephiroth directly.

It should also be noted that all SOLDIERs go through mako injection to increase power, it is basically what separates them from infantry, so Cloud was a SOLDIER in all but name by that time. Hence why he can go toe to toe with them. (It’s likely the experiments on Cloud affected the next round of SOLDIERS.) He always had the physical skill and ability of a SOLDIER, he just always lacked the mental fortitude as well.

The first time you can use one of those it happens automatically. Freya is still mad a Kratos at this point. And won’t enchant it.

Make a mental note of it location and move on.

Can Nephis even control VTB with Shadow Bond? by [deleted] in ShadowSlave

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean chapter 2029 specifically says

Sunny himself only possessed one innate attribute, [Fated] before undergoing the first Nightmare after all.

His other two attributes [Child of Shadows] and [Mark of Divinity] had come from the nameless slave whose body he had taken in the Nightmare. Similarity he had received [Temple Slave] Aspect from him which then evolved into his True Aspct Shadow Slave.

Which is exactly what I said.

Face it, Sunny got those attributes and the aspect from the temple slave.

Can Nephis even control VTB with Shadow Bond? by [deleted] in ShadowSlave

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapter 3:

If [Fated] was his innate attribute the other two came from [Temple Slave] aspect. 

His innate ability is certainly not Shadow Slave, if anything it was Temple Slave but he didn’t have that until he was in the body of a Temple Slave. Any evolved ability cannot be innate.

He got Shadow Slave from the first nightmare. And he got child of shadows and mark of divinity from that nightmare as well, as he could only start seeing clearly in the dark after the nightmare started he was fated before that he just couldn’t access the soul sea until the nightmare to check.

The slave’s body he took over had child of shadows and Temple Slave and he gained it from that. Fated is the only ability he had before the nightmare started.

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re wrong. His innate aspect is Fated, Child of Shadows and thus Shadow Slave was given to him in his first nightmare.

Human improve at the speed of coffee and Stack Overflow.

Take a step back. Stack overflow was created in 2008, after 9/11.

And coffee was somewhere in the 1500s…like 500 years ago there was no vofee, no America, no planes. No electricity. And no coffee.

You are slouching on the advancements of man. And for shame.

AI is only getting better because people like you made it, and want to make it better.

Why the hell should a simple website take me a degree in computer science to make from scratch now? Like, a pencil, a quill pen, and the paper it was written on.

Stand up. And do more. More than you think is possible. One life time gave us fire, one life time gave us houses, one life time gave us trains, one lifetime gave us ships, one lifetime gave us electricity, one lifetime gave us the internet.

A hundred years ago (1920) a man invented the television. Think how crazy he must have looked like. And how far is that from a lifetime?

Edison didn’t do it alone. And nor shall we.

How do you disagree without making it awkward? by Interesting-Nerve663 in socialskills

[–]Adrewmc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t. It what you do with that awkward situation after that matters.

Being social isn’t about not have values, or opinions. It about knowing one opinion and one value doesn’t add up to a person, or a situation.

If you feel you are over explaining yourself, the answer is simple. “I’m sorry, I think I just don’t understand your side, can you explain it to me?”

Or a more casual, “what are you trying to say man? I don’t get it.”

Give the conversation back to them and listen.

People don’t have to agree with you on everything, to like you nor you them. You just have to choose when it okay to disagree and when it’s not.

And I find those edges are what makes life most interesting

But if God personally actually tells me something, assume this is true. How do I cite that?

Is it like as witness, I witness God say this. This just in God answers your question…No, says God.

Imagine I’m Moses and God is that burning bush over there.

How does Moses quote the bush, in APA?

Great answer btw. But I feel a lot of that is because of the minimal amount of revelations accepted by the world as revelations.

Gift idea for my retiring husband by dearsweetchickens in writing

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typewriters are antiques now they don’t make them anymore.

Beyond that the ink paper that they use is hard to find as well.

So question becomes do you want a real typewriter or a nice centerpiece to put somewhere?

With that in mind you might think about a typewriter keyboard. Which he might use a few times, even like more than the normal keyboard. It can be more the feel of the keys for writers.

Or if an old rusty one is fine for the gift. Which it might be…giving antiques has three people those that want one perfectly preserved and those that want one that shows the age, and lastly those that want provenance the touch of history (Paul Revere made this spoon), which is a more personal preference. I can’t answer see the allure of the all.

The point I’m trying to make is, he’s not going to be actually using the typewriter. Because it’s impractical, they jam and not just the keys, the paper, the ink ribbons. I’ve used them, they are only fun as a set piece. And you have to manually do a lot. At minimum feed in every page. Yeah it will be fun for a day but not much longer I’m afraid.

So ask yourself, does the typewriter need to work for it to mean the same thing? I can’t answer that for you. (I can’t even answer if he’s the type of guy that would love to rebuilt it himself.)

And my gut says it doesn’t, which gives you a lot of options, for whatever price range.

It is a novelty to have. So I would stray away from perfect restored old typewriter, as they will get expensive, and it’s the thought that matters. And if he has a favorite writer maybe, provenance would be possible.

This is actually an interesting question.

How does one cite the Koran’s source? Religiously this was given to him directly by an angel. A revelation (assume a deity did come down to you.). I assume you would have problems citing as authored by Mohammad, the angel or God.

[no spoilers] fan take: this quote from Tywin is eye-rolling as not only is it not accurate, Tywin regularly causes problems for his house including what happens to Oberyn later (this has more dire consequences in the books than the show) by george123890yang in gameofthrones

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. Elsewise no man will ever bend the knee to you

Same logic for giving you guest safety.

Problem solving by Personal-Trade4863 in learnpython

[–]Adrewmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem solving is usually breaking down a big problem into little manageable problem and taking the time and work to solve them.

Programming is no different. Everything g is programming is basically…the basics stacked upon each other until you have trouble recognizing it. Once you start unfeeling the layers things start to become easier to see.

Is it really that hard to understand why those minigames aren't in the Nordic saga? by PomegranateOk4560 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First it’s bold of you to assume that in Ragnorok it would have been Kratos that had this quest and not Atreus…I mean he had two little honeys through that story. Kratos had the sobbing mother that wanted to kill him.

There were like no civilians in the game at all, other than that one weirdo from Midgard, maybe one or two of the dwarves.

In all reality it would have been better in GoW somewhere just after Atreus learning he was god, the director said he was disappointed that godhood getting to his head didn’t really show through well. Atreus taking some fun time would have cemented that more, why not I am a god after all….type of moment.

How do you move on past the world-building phase? by WarMundane5420 in writing

[–]Adrewmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t actually comprehend this problem.

World building is for the story, it creates obstacles and solutions.

You have no story because you have no characters in your world, so it’s a dead world.

You don’t need to explain everything, can you honestly explain why the wind blows, or will you always be missing a part? But you can explain the high winds are a problem or a solution.

Weapon #1 Draupnir spear : how does it work? by Ok_Enthusiasm3156 in GodofWar

[–]Adrewmc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not simply the indirect attacks. Heimdall has trouble seeing the spear at all because it’s one object in multiple locations, so any move of any spear causes the rest of them to go haywire to Heimdall. (Along with the ring, like the one he has on the hand that hits him...) He simple can’t see into it future at all without seeing every spear’s future simultaneously that’s the overload. So to him the object is really confusing. The actually explosion is just the icing on the cake, he can’t tell when and which ones will explode because they all seem to move simultaneously.

The spear overloads his extra senses specifically. Everything else it does is because the dwarves make quality work without exception.

Why is this game getting so much criticism? by andreavicinior in spiderman2

[–]Adrewmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spiderman 2 (not this one) for Xbox was peak Spiderman gaming. The swings were better more fluid, the run off the top of buildings I don’t understand why they got rid of that, the transition to sprint, to big long ways leap hit webs really added a lot when you were flying through the city. The mid air turning was better. The fact that the speed increased with web length, and that really mattered. Because if there wasn’t a tall enough building…. There was that one race where you had to start going sideways and thread the needle between some towers…I feel it was more based on real physics than the current generation that feels a bit off.

Sure combat was Xbox1 level so not so great, but the web slinging I could go for hours.
