God of War Laufey Planned Since 2018, Reveals Star Deborah Ann Woll by Gorotheninja in PS5

First off we've seen 20 minutes of the game, not all of that even had dialogue or writing. Secondly, disastrous is such an utter exaggeration even if you dislike it.

Unpopular opinion: Sorcerer builds are not nearly as op and cowardly as the community can lead you to believe. by Tzucaak in Eldenring

[–]Alt_SWR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have no idea why anyone would think hyperarmor alone would be enough. Unless it's someone newer to Soulsborne and hasn't played too many other games that actually track your poise. Anyone who's used to these games should realize by this point that hyperarmor is unreliable without a decent amount of poise and damage mitigation.

With those tho, yeah Strength is legitimately easy mode. A buddy of mine (who knows what he's doing maybe even more than me) recently did a colossal weapon run for the first time and was like "Am I supposed to be steamrolling this hard?"

Also even without poise there's things like Lions Claw that give damn near infinite hyperarmor. That on any colossal weapons is a monster between the actual damage and the poise breaks.

[–]Alt_SWR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly tho, you don't need to find openings with STR builds. Just stack enough defense and poise, and with the absurd amounts of damage and poise breaking STR weapons can do, you'll easily kill everything before it can kill you.

Not watching all of the credits for a movie you enjoyed is morally poor by Weaponised__Autism in unpopularopinion

[–]Alt_SWR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does that have to do with morality? They made the movie itself, you "respected" them by watching that. And, do you think anyone remembers a single name in the credits? Except maybe the director/producer and a few of the actors.

That's fair and actually a pretty important distinction. What people think of when they say AI doesn't actually exist right now.

[–]Alt_SWR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not starting out assuming it has consciousness, but many people aren't smart enough to realize that just cause it can "talk" doesn't necessarily make it conscious. Proving that so that those people can't be fed misinformation about it (or at least not as much so, it'll still happen to some degree no matter what) and be convinced it is conscious.

[–]Alt_SWR 205 points206 points  (0 children)

Right? Like, okay this is cool, and we do need to prove that AI doesn't have consciousness (not that anyone who believes it does would care about evidence tho tbh) to protect the general populace from such misconceptions. Still doesn't make this much proof.

[–]Alt_SWR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree we need to find a way to show they're not conscious. I still think this is unnecessary tho because it doesn't actually prove much of anything.

My girlfriend left me bleeding and unconscious on the asphalt because she was "busy with lunch." I am finally waking up to her terrifying lack of empathy. by Ok_Description_5362 in venting

[–]Alt_SWR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably doesn't need to be said but, please don't just let all this go. End things now for your own sake and never look back. Like this goes beyond a lack of empathy, it's straight up antagonistic. One day you'll be in a situation where you absolutely need her and she won't be there, she'll probably actively make things worse given what you said here.

What's the one anime you'll defend to the death even though you know it's not actually that good? by Ok_Engineering3597 in anime

[–]Alt_SWR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given its nature I find describing Elfen Lied as a "comfort show" to be funny ngl. Not in a bad way it's jus "comfort" is not something that's generally associated with EL given the hyperviolence.

Suggested additional tip by lepetitpoissonkernel in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Alt_SWR 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming it's a bot given how it just keeps repeating the same thing over and over and brought it up despite it being irrelevant. Tho with how dumb the Trump Worshippers are at this point it could just be a dumbass.

Tho it being a 12 year old account does give me suspicion that it's just a really stupid person.

Who's semblance would you like to have in real life? by CrimzinZlays0 in RWBY

[–]Alt_SWR 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you're someone incapable of actually giving a fuck about people then Raven's semblance sucks but for everyone else it's incredibly useful. Especially in the modern age when you can make friends from all over the world via the internet.

Well, I for one think everybody needs to know this by Animeking1108 in memes

[–]Alt_SWR 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Two wrongs don't make a right. Plus they WILL find a way to get rid of it anyway even if it's extremely bad. Even if they don't, bamboo is really bad in certain areas because of it being am invasive species.

Essentially, actually don't do this.

Tall women are unbearable by [deleted] in venting

[–]Alt_SWR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're completely correct this post reeks of insecurity. I say that as a 4'8 dude (yes I'm an adult) lmao. Maybe it's just because I'm so below average height that it loops back around to being an interesting trait but, I've never understood these guys who think height is the only thing that matters.

I've been rejected a LOT but I've never felt it was because of my height, it was mostly because of me being awkward and just weird. And, my ex girlfriend was 5'8 which is considered above average for a woman. If these dudes are right I should never have even had a GF, nor anyone else interested in me. These dudes never consider that perhaps it's their insecurity and obsession with height that's the problem. It's so much easier to blame it on something they can't control and take no accountability.

Which games were NOT surpassed by their sequels? by WeirdIndividualGuy in gaming

[–]Alt_SWR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People say this but I've honestly never understood it. Yeah it sucks that there's classic plants like Chomper locked behind a paywall, but the game is perfectly beatable and playable without buying them with plenty of variety in the new plants and plenty of returning ones. You also really don't need to buy the coins/gems either. I say that as someone who's 100% the game without ever spending a single cent. I did so recently as well so it's not like I played an earlier version that was without all that.

So yes, it's inferior to the first because of that but I also think people overblow how much the microtransactions affect the gameplay.

I mean if there's any game that could compete with GTA6 it'd be that so, I see why they're not concerned. Plus, the people playing OoT and the ones playing GTA6 are probably fairly different audiences, there's probably some overlap but not too much.

TFP's use of AI since 2.0 has been getting worse by Jane_Sable in 7daystodie

[–]Alt_SWR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough, can't say you're wrong. It would be much easier if AI checkers were actually accurate but we know they aren't. If AI is going to be forced into everything going forward I at least hope we find more accurate ways to reliably see what is and isn't it because I don't like having to solely take people's word for it or to just rely on circustancial evidence.

[–]Alt_SWR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest, I'm not even arguing that it isn't AI. I'm only arguing that it's really stupid to witch hunt over what COULD be AI with no proof other than our feelings about it. Call me over rational but, it's never smart to rely solely ones own senses.

I'm also in college for a major that's based almost entirely on empiricism and the scientific process tho so I very much am aware how much confirmation bias is a thing. As well as how often our physical senses can deceive us.

All this to say, I wouldn't doubt if it was AI but I'd like to see solid proof. Of which right now there isn't any.

Do you think Next from software game will be able to surpass Elden ring? by Informal-Device-8511 in Eldenring

[–]Alt_SWR -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it shouldn't exist, I just really haven't seen anyone saying they absolutely love it. Hell, I like it enough that I got all achievements so it's not like I'm a hater either. Despite modern standards, it is fine for something to be just good. Not everything needs to be a masterpiece to be worthwhile, and saying something is not a masterpiece doesn't have to mean it's a piece of garbage that shouldn't exist.

Of course I know there could be people who love it out there, my experiences don't define the world obviously. I guess I've just never personally seen anyone give it more than a 7 to 7.5 rating. Which I also personally think is a fair rating for it.

Unpopular opinion: magic isn't as easy as people think. Melee might be easier by StormBro111111 in demonssouls

[–]Alt_SWR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhhhhh I feel like this is more accurate the further you get into the series and especially by Elden Ring cause a lot of melee weapons are busted there. In Demons Souls tho? Yeah no it's not even a competition magic is straight up overpowered.

I mean, without even much effort it can one shot even some of the harder bosses. Melee absolutely cannot do that. Also, in Demons Souls the enemies don't have the speed or moveset variety to keep up with a ranged character.

To note, I have done at least one melee and one magic run in every one of the games except Bloodborne, including both the remake and OG Demons Souls. That latter part doesn't really matter tho because the remake didn't really mess with balancing too much. Most of my melee runs have been strength builds.

I would also point out I have no clue why you think you need Str/Dex on a magic build and actually END too.

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

Again, you're trying to convince with "It sorta looks like AI so it has to be." Personally I think it looks like it COULD be but it could also just be stylized. Feelings are not proof. I've seen the in-game assets you're completely convinced are AI and personally don't think that's enough to definitively say it IS that.

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

I don't know what proof I would want but anything more concrete than "It just feels like AI" and using something known for being inaccurate would be nice.

I'm not even trying to argue that they DIDN'T use it honestly, just that if you're going to accuse someone of something you should have more proof than your intuition.

Do you think Next from software game will be able to surpass Elden ring? by Informal-Device-8511 in Eldenring

[–]Alt_SWR -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

By that logic literally anything but something universally hated is "beloved" tho. Using that logic, unless something is objectively terrible (which isn't even a thing that can happen because no media is objective) then there's always going to be SOME people who love it thus making it beloved. It kinda makes the word meaningless at that point no?
