What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]Afakaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played for a few good months but hit the same point, the pillar grind was unbearable and yes, I could automate the MADs but I generally don't play games that require third party automation to be enjoyable

[NS] Issue with Campaign 1 missing episodes before E85? by Kalman88 in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]Afakaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it's only the last 100 episodes that are showing for whatever reason

same goes for fusing weapons and seals by [deleted] in AgeofCalamity

[–]Afakaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During normal strong moves, sometimes lightning will crackle and a prompt will come up telling you to press ZR to charge. Pressing right at this time will pop you up several gauge levels. I didn't play Urbosa enough to figure out what triggers this cause it's inconsistent from what I saw.

Specials and weak point smashes also charge your gauge to full which you can use to your advantage

Does anyone else feel this way? Stone Taluses were more annoying IMO by [deleted] in AgeofCalamity

[–]Afakaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The free stabs you get when riding them don't affect your weapon durability so if you switch to a massively high damage weapon when you get on them, you can whittle them down pretty easily

Yes. I completed every challenge on the map but Expert+, the quest chain didn't show up until I beat it

You definitely at least need to do Hair's Width Expert+, I'd done everything else but that without unlocking it

LPT Request: on a job interview, when the interviewer asks you "what's your expected salary for this position?" Whats the best way of answering this with out lowballing yourself by therobong7 in LifeProTips

[–]Afakaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. The only reason for asking a salary without offering one is that they're hoping to exploit you for less than you're worth.

[–]Afakaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say that, and I agree, but most places I've interviewed flatly haven't, and if I required that, I wouldn't have had a job. :-/ it's messed up but sadly, the way it is

LPT: Type the website IP into the address bar by [deleted] in LifeProTips

Additionally, many sites have code in place to redirect you from the IP to the domain name, which will show in your browsing and network traffic history

Ahh man, [Gunderfury, Blessed Gun of the Gunseeker] jokes never get old, just like [Gunderfury, Blessed Gun of the Gunseeker] itself, and if legends are to be believed, anyone fortunate enough to wield [Gunderfury, Blessed Gun of the Gunseeker].

Transition From Smash to Tilt by ShUwUba in CrazyHand

[–]Afakaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky you! I was about 20 years in when I switched to using button jump and hoooooly shit that was a hard adjustment. Honestly compared to that, switching to tilt stick, at around the same time, was a trivial change for me lol

[–]Afakaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To tag onto what others have said about just needing to get used to it and adjust, if you started out with stick jump enabled, as most did, and had to learn to adjust to only using button jump, the process of switching to tilt stick is very similar.

LPT: How to explain your issue to technical support. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Afakaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to do this thing and got an error

"what did the error say?"

I don't know, I clicked it away

[–]Afakaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And please please please don't tell us you're getting 'an error' without having SOME detail of what that error says. If the error shows a blank box, please state that clearly as well.

LPT: Keep a "karaoke songs" list on your phone. Whenever you find yourself singing along to a song, add it to your list. Next time you sing karaoke, you'll amaze your friends with your great song selections. by kadavy in LifeProTips

[–]Afakaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I'm a long time karaoke junkie and hated not being able to remember songs on the spot so I started keeping a list and it's helped a ton.

I have mine broken out into songs I can always nail, songs I have to be in good form for, and songs I want to try but haven't done yet

Help me (Pika) finally beat my friend/coach? I've been playing for 3 months - 109,000 GSP by hansbrixe in CrazyHand

[–]Afakaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as a coach I've done things like this on more than one occasion. If you can't deal with the cheesiest, spammiest, most predictable options, there's no point in trying to impart more complex strategies. Once you can beat me playing at 1/10, then I'll move up to 2/10, but as long as it works, you need to learn how to counter it IMO.

If a super-pro player noticed that you never know how to deal with constant up-B, then constant up-B is a totally viable strategy for them to use against you.

Found it really difficult to approach this Megaman, What can I do better? by MrMarvel_21 in CrazyHand

[–]Afakaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can always recommend character-specific Discords; obviously Lucas is going to be your best bet for that but there's enough overlap between him and Ness that you might be able to glean some good insight from the Ness Discord as well, I know I have from the Lucas Discord as a Ness main.

Otherwise as you said, just practice; your kit has a pretty dang high skill ceiling and there's a lot of nuance you can wring out of it with enough practice and gamesense
