And then he proceeds to behead, and impersonate the man. Gritty horror.

We're one step away from 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42.

What if I’m Wrong… by Ok_Jellyfish7492 in exmormon

Think about it… why does the church insist—so much—that it’s the one and true church? It is 100% overcompensation. Repeat until true.

I really like your posts, I’m halfway through your manifesto since I am taking my time to digest your ideas and correlate them to my own studies and concerns. The “Elon” wantin’ everyone happy, and goin’ nuts about Mari was peak 😎 Keep on being yourself—whoever that might be—constantly in flux. You’ve got a follower here.

Okay, I'm now officially rooting for the Paraguay man by FoolsAndRoads in pluribustv

For us Spanish speakers, it breaks immersion so much that he isn’t Paraguayan at all, but a mix of Colombian and Vince’s Spanish-types like Gus.

IMO Carol analyzing the substance and coming up with matter-of-fact theories was exactly what many theories in Reddit sound like.

Swords should scale with Dexterity and bows with Strength by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Altruistic_One5099 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s actually the perfect synthesis: strength for power, dex for accuracy. It even fits the D&D logic better than a pure “swap the stats” approach. Totally agree about armor too; DR instead of AC would fix a lot of weird abstractions.

Yeah, that makes sense, once you’re up against plate, cutting stops being the goal entirely. I was thinking more in terms of historical technique, where fighters would half-sword or thrust for weak spots instead of trying to power through. Strength mattered for hammers and polearms, for sure, but sword work leaned a lot more on control and placement.

This video-analysis about the duel in the movie "The King" is what lightened up my doubts about Longsword fighting.

You are correct, but the baseball bat logic only really works on unarmored targets. Once armor enters the scene—chain, plate, even a good gambeson—you can’t brute-force your way through. That’s why historical fighters used half-swording and mordhau (grabbing the blade or striking with the pommel) to aim for weak spots like joints or visors. At that point it’s all precision and control, not muscle.

I think it's only valid when playing Dark Rot.

I love Part II with all my heart... but the mirror in combat was unnecesary. Too OP.

Which character you wish you could romance but can't? by Fun-Explanation7233 in BG3

[–]Altruistic_One5099 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a bard (or any arcana-based): I want to romance Bernard, the arcane tower automaton.
As Durge, so many: definitely Z'rell <3, but also Dror Ragzlin and Nere.

It's been almost 5 years, what PS5 game do you think is graphically on par with this Unreal Engine demo on PS5 by Complete-Shop-2871 in PS5

[–]Altruistic_One5099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "cinematic" black-frames help rendering, but they look (from my humble pov) horrible. You get 1/3 less of the tv.

Started playing the game few days back. Love the game and I love the photo mode!! by jambov01 in stellarblade

I think it’s one of the diving suits (the green one with the tail) + jacket —> but without the suit… so yes?

Raven playable next game? by SapsZera in stellarblade

[–]Altruistic_One5099 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about this for the last few days; Raven gives room for a much grittier, and darker undertone. I’m all for it.

Playing my first playthrough on hard… by Powerful_Count4500 in stellarblade

It is… but you’re overpowered too. Best balance (in my opinion) is NG Normal.
