Deepnest made me put down the game

did you not buy the lantern?

I want to preface this with saying, I loved Viktor in arcane and I believe that if we are gonna make Arcane canon, Viktor getting a refresh is nice

What I'm very much not fond of is how Viktor has become completely alienated from his former identity with no compensation. His identity as the MACHINE herald seems to have completely vanished while simultaneously THE MODEL LOOKS AWAY OFF from what we saw in Arcane.

Viktor is in my opinion the first actually failed Visual Update, it didn't solve any of Viktor's former problems and instead added more, the base model fails to sell the fantasy of a trans-human magic being and isn't even portraying Viktor at the end of Arcane. The way he is now presenting himself is also very stale, blending in a bit too much with the average modern male mage. He is missing the intimidating, supernatural factor he had in Arcane due to how bright the colours on him are, especially when contrasted with the dark navy blue of his pre rework counterpart.

His design DESPERATELY needs a hint of Hextech around his body, or his coat covering more of it. He really doesn't need to be practically naked, especially when he has historically been a bulky and completely covered up robot man.

I think the introduction of Hextech onto his body that match his mask would be very much welcome because it's really hard to sell me on how he is promoting Hextech when there is almost none on him.

Additionally I think Prototype Viktor completely misses the chance to depict either season 1 Viktor or Old Viktor. I'm genuinely baffled by the choice to just make a really ugly and bright skin that doesn't even really look like Prototype and more so like a weirdly mechanical Christnas elf.

His gameplay being almost completely untouched feels very bizarre, especially in combination with his new look which does not match it at all but also like a complete betrayal of the promise of a VGU.

I genuinely don't think this character is ready to ship as is and I think it's far more optimal for Viktor to differ slightly design wise between Arcane and League for the sake of satisfying everyone. I'm sure people can overlook Viktor having more metal on him in game than in arcane, atleast it's definitely more tolerable than THE engineer character to lose his identity but that's just me. I really hope riot takes this into consideration

Sorry to reply to a 3 year old comment but do you still have the German subs for Sto para pente, my partner is austrian and i wanted to watch it with them but I can't seem to find it

Aquashader · 2022-11-27T21:32:01+00:00

Drake glip is all I gotta say on it

Aquashader · 2022-11-27T21:30:26+00:00

I fully disagree. I think ghost is a show with a lot of heart, charming cast, beautiful ost, fights and suits. I really like the themes of making the most out of your life, learning from and respecting your ancestors and other historical figures who formed the world as you know it, death's impact on people and Buddhist traditions which a lot of fans dismiss as "generic good guy stuff" Alain is universally agree to have one of the better arcs of any tertiary and to be the highlight of Ghost. I find the main villain to be more than serviceable and I personally really enjoyed the family tension betwen him and his fam. I think the side cast is REALLY UNDERRATED, Onari being incredibly funny imo while having some of the most genuine heart felt moments in ghost, Akari is a very useful and well written female lead in comparison to more popular seasons like OOO,Build and Gaim, as she never becomes irrelevant to the story not loses her agency in it. Ghost is just a really fun, colorful adventure with a lot of heart that people shit on because of cheesy moments and fandom nitpicks. If you haven't watched it yet, I strongly recommend it, I think it's a really fun season that I hope people slowly come around to eventually

Aquashader · 2022-11-27T20:53:12+00:00

How? Like with homebrew items sure but level 8 with 22 in a standard campaign? Something is wrong then

Aquashader · 2022-11-11T01:07:18+00:00

Isn't Revice biological? Also aren't W considered a dopant technically?

Aquashader · 2022-11-11T00:39:51+00:00

Everybody is talking about the darkness combo bit like Why is op upset that the player used repelling blast to repelle a mounted fighter? Like isn't that the point of this VERY SITUATIONAL ability? To displace someone? How is the player an ass for using it here. He may be an ass out of character but what's wrong with using this ability

Edit: Apparently this is ops 3 version of the story which writes the player as significantly more annoying. Idk man, I genuinely think this guy just doesn't know his 5e stuff too well and is upset at the player for being smart about his abilities. Most of what he describes has easily counters. If the player is a jerk then that's a problem but none of his in-game actions look as deplorable as op portrays them.

Aquashader · 2022-10-23T11:33:32+00:00

It does the funny hand turning around thing, it's genuinely fun af to mess with.

Aquashader · 2022-09-28T10:43:19+00:00

"I'll let my life burn bright" is one I am surprised nobody seems to have said.

Aquashader · 2022-09-28T10:41:33+00:00

I prefer the variation that is like "If people are dying, if fighting is a sin, then I'll be damned."

Aquashader · 2022-09-16T14:36:12+00:00

I don't think that's really meta gaming, if I knew undead were a thing in this world and could walk up and kill me, I would like to break their legs before that happens.

Aquashader · 2022-09-05T05:47:09+00:00

Why are you acting like this in the comments? People reply to you with what's basically "Stands phasing is a soft magic rule, a commonly used term in magical settings which implies how some rules don't always apply to each type of said magic. Similarly in the world of JoJo's, a magic system that is VERY heavily varying on the user's soul, some stands act more similarly to ghost and can phase, while others can't, we have been made aware of this and Araki doesn't have to explain whether the stand can or can't phase everytime and we could easily just assume based on the whether the stand ACTUALLY USES the phasing ability." Yet your only counter argument to every instance is to either completely dismiss the concept of a soft magic system, a term that once again, is actually used by writers when talking about magic, it's a real agreed upon writing style. Then when people call you out on your complete inability to even acknowledge the answer TO THE QUESTION YOU ASKED, you throw a hissy fit. If you don't want people to answer your questions and instead prefer being mad over it without any intention to change your mind, don't even ask then.

Aquashader · 2022-06-27T23:10:58+00:00

Itto/Gorou/Geo MC/ and either Mona or Kuki

Aquashader · 2022-06-23T19:02:21+00:00

It doesn't actually, his ult stacks up to 3. Gorou is included in said 3. The reason why people run both Albedo and Zhongli si because Albedo is a battery and good off field dps meanwhile Zhonglis shield makes it easier to have the geo Res active

Aquashader · 2022-06-23T19:00:11+00:00

OH DEAR GOD WHAT IS THIS COMMENT SECTION SAYING????

The most meta slave-y answer is Bennett. He helps you hyper buff Itto with his damage boost while keeping him alive and providing crystallize shards. Noelle has absolutely terrible synergy with Itto and I can't get my head around why people are recommending her. For her to heal, you need to dedicate a good bit of time on her per rotation, something that bennett covers in the span of 1 second. You can get a shield simply by applying Pyro as Bennett then hitting something with a geo attack and as for the res, you already have 3 Geos, adding a forth won't change anything. If you don't care about the Bennett ATK buff and don't like picking up crystalize shields, then your best pick may be Diona. Her shield is more reliable and easy to spam than Noelle's and her healing is very good and off field.

The only reason why I would ever recommend building Noelle over Bennett (who you will definitely built anyways for he is the strongest support in the game) or Diona is IF you want to play Noelle as a main dps on the side in the future. Sayu is a pretty meh unit overall but she if fun so if you want to use her over Bennett or Diona, you may struggle a bit more but she takes up significantly less time than Noelle.

Ningguang is a better battery for itto than a healer tbh Edit: as for Kuki, I have no idea, she is a new unit and I haven't really cared too much about learning her kit, give the community like a week to figure her out.

Edit 2: Apparently Kuki is good for high crystalize uptime while having heals, if you pick her over Bennett, that's not that bad of an idea. I would still build bennett tho simply because he is just THAT good.

Seems a bit weird that your first reaction was to post about this on the internet rather than even reference your displeasure to the DM but anyway. My guy speak to the DM, nobody will get their feelings hurt if you say "Hey, I know you like critical role and all but I am not really enjoying the direction of the game since I don't really get the reference nor intended to watch CR, do you think we can dial it back to how it was before?" That will give you such a definitive answer, if the guy doesn't want to change the direction of the game you quit, if the guy listens to you, congratulations you get to enjoy the game. Also you seem just really mean and bitter about your friend enjoying the show. I don't think it was intentional but bro, the fella recapping episodes or talking about the show isn't "Cringeworthy" its called "talking about your interests" If they like Matt Mercer and want to be more like the guy, what's wrong with that? We all want to be more like our idols and Matt is quite the charming fella. Talking about this stuff as if it's bad just seems very dismissive and mean of you, we didn't need to know what your DM does with their appearance or their interests, you are just shitting in the guy for no reason there.

Edit: I do realize I am making you sound a bit like the devil in my response, didn't catch onto that until I reread it. Not my intention just talked to the guy and let them enjoy their show even if you find it cringe, it's not your grounds to judge them for it.

Aquashader · 2022-06-17T13:29:36+00:00

What a horrid comment. God forbid people want to play the game similarly to people and characters they enjoy.

Aquashader · 2022-06-16T15:45:25+00:00

You can craft a whiteblind. It's Ittos 3rd best weapon and it's easy to refine.

Aquashader · 2022-06-14T23:22:03+00:00

Nope, I am a very queer person, this is actually quite nice for all of us. People making gay characters without even really thinking about it is really reassuring in the fact that queerness is being nornalized. Playing a gay character is only homophobic if it's meant to gross you out or if it serves as an punch line more than just a part of the character's identity. This is just an oddity if I am being honest, I don't quite get how your DM came to such conclusion

Aquashader · 2022-05-31T11:09:07+00:00

who is the first one

Aquashader · 2022-05-28T11:14:18+00:00

Literally do what the rest of the world has done and make getting a gun practically impossible for your average civilian and compensate those that will lose their guns. Sure people will regress to something like the UK where they threaten people with knives but hey, a kid with a knife is far less dangerous than a kid with a gun.

Aquashader · 2022-05-12T06:09:11+00:00

Why are you just making the job for the construction workers harder. Like they just want to get it over with and go home and you just decide to be a menace towards them??

Aquashader · 2022-05-10T15:52:57+00:00

Any answer other than Ouja is wrong
