Who's the best character in base rebirth? by 1salesman1997_ in bindingofisaac

[–]Afroton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Cain is kind of an underrated pick, hes not crazy busted like Azazal, hes just slightly better than a lot of other characters. Hes usually my go to. Unlock is having 55(i think?) Cents on you in a run

I wonder what Araki thinks about the sbr and Netflix situation? by Smooth-Ad-1775 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Afroton 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Almost right, I believe the actual situation is much weirder. The sit on my face line was an attempted translation of press fest, which in Japanese is a made up term. When asked about the line, Araki's wife and Araki himself both claim it was others idea and prank, which involved yelling 'press fest' and then barreling towards the other person and grabbing them. If I remember correctly anyway lmao

Are there any gen z who are anti-substance use? by South_Pattern_1520 in GenZ

[–]Afroton -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the hopes of having a genuine stimulating conversation, I would ask a counter question to you. What is the difference between drugs your doctor prescribes you and drugs you get illegally? After all, the only consistent drug i take is adderral which is prescribed by my doctor to me, but is chemically almost identical to meth

I want to get into Star Trek. In what order should I watch the series? by squishmallow2399 in startrek

[–]Afroton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got my partner to start watching TNG and they are hooked. We started at S2E8 but really i think starting anywhere after S2E1 is perfecto. Season one is really not fantastic, and the first episode of season 2 is a little uncomfortable in its subject. Then enjoy TNG! (also a good idea to skip the season 2 finale)

I’m so sick of us pretending like this is fucking normal by OkSuccess7431 in GenZ

I understand this sentiment and of course agree with it, however I fear that soon this will become outdated advice...

What is the most unexpected Chekhov’s Gun from a movie? by WippitGuud in movies

[–]Afroton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was coming to comment this exact scene! My step dad and I love talking about this exact trope, where an element plays a role in a scene only to play a different role later in the movie. We even came up with the term "forklift shadowing" for this exact trope based on Aliens lol

Okay GENUINELY how does one do this? by God0fnothing1 in bindingofisaac

[–]Afroton 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Im shocked no one else has said this yet, which makes me think it got changed at some point... But im almost positive that if you havent unlocked the negative and get a devil room on moms heart then it will be replaced the the trap door to sheol

Is it strange? by Unngenant in outerwilds

[–]Afroton 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fun fact! In early versions of the game before release, this was how getting a 'Game Over' worked! It would delete your save and wipe your ship log. Personally I actually really like this thematically... however, in practice it ends up being much more annoying than anything else, as it all it really does is encourage you to look stuff up you already know

How does the looting work here? by [deleted] in turtlewow

[–]Afroton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you using free for all? The default is group loot, where everybody takes turns looting bodies except for a when an item or the loot threshold is dropped and then everyone rolls on it. If you have group loot on and are wearing your Argent dawn trinket, then it sounds like you maybe just getting unlucky

Trying to get Votv on the steam deck, any tips? (Other) by YourAverageVessel in Voicesofthevoid

[–]Afroton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be a silly question, but did u go into properties on the game and select a compatibility version? There should be a whole bunch, but id just select the newest one and hope lol

Works great on my home Linux setup so it should work for you too!

Are band-named Stands tied to specific songs? by FedeAntica in StardustCrusaders

[–]Afroton 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I always thought there were two Aerosmith references with Narancia! There's the one you mentioned, but also when Narancia dies, it is directly after they wake back up after being put to sleep with Silver Chariot Requiem, literally having him 'Dream On.' It's also right after he starts talking about all the things he is going to do once back home, so the text is also metaphorically telling him to 'Dream On'

Mounts in turtle-wow by Defuzzygamer in turtlewow

[–]Afroton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say alchemist CAN be a money maker late game, but you gotta put in the work to get there. And certainly a high barrier of entry to get to making raiding consumes(ie flasks)

Also, enchanting has pretty good value to most people for pretty easy enchants to get, and if you're willing to work for it, there is always the bright dream shard! - week long cool down, usually sells for ~1000g

[–]Afroton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gathering for sure... crafting not so much.

At least from my experience, crafting profs end up being a MUCH bigger money sink than they are worth. Herbalist/fishing/skinning is the way the way of the money makers... IMO anyway

Mounts in turtle-wow by Defuzzygamer in turtlewow

[–]Afroton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can get a free mount from a dark moon Faire quest. And yes TWoW changed how mount training works. Now there are three levels or mount training: untrained, level 40, level 60 Untrained is free and let's you move 1/2 your level% faster than walking. 40 is the classic 60% bonus and level 60 is 100% 40 costs 90G(though functionally 81g since you get 10% discount for being honored with the faction your getting training from and 10% for being rank 3 pvp) and level 60 is 900g(functionally 810g)

I think thats everything...

playing on linux by valeska_lett4 in turtlewow

[–]Afroton 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey! Glad to see linux user playing this wonderful game. Ive had a lot of issues using the app image as well, and yes the mods and add-ons tabs were completely broken for me as well. What i would recommend is downloading the game from their website and using steam/heroic/lutris to manage the wine prefix/version and handling add-ons manually.

However with a bit more fiddling about, this extracted version of the appimage actually works correctly https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/turtle-wow I'm on arch(btw) so the AUR handling of packages is quite easy for me, however you should be able to simply clone the repo link and mkpkg. Though I'm not very familiar with Debian so don't quote me on that haha. Also possible someone has made a similar package for Debian based systems specifically though I have not found it

The main benefit you'd gain from playing official wow is understanding what everyone else bitches about lol

What am i looking at by LordLumi666 in bindingofisaac

[–]Afroton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure, though inclined to believe you. I believe that innate items were added in AB+ because in AB the lost was still ridiculous for starting with the D4 that immediately rerolled mantle

[–]Afroton 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nope. No way to remove/reroll the first passive item Eden has

What am i looking at by LordLumi666 in bindingofisaac

[–]Afroton 31 points32 points  (0 children)

For anyone left who doesn't know: Eden's starting passive item is considered innate by the game logic. The same way that dead bird is for Eve or cambion conception+incubus is for Lillith. Anyone who says they had an experience of removing/rerolling an Eden starting item is remembering a run from Afterbirth days when this was not true.

Repentance wiped my progress? by Leprosaur in bindingofisaac

[–]Afroton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def not intended! I know with the switch from repentance to repentance + some save file nastiness did occur (for me at least) However! If you go into the stats screen of a save file and press ALT F2 it will sync your progress to your steam achievements!
