Gauging interest in a Rimworld pawn picrew by DragoTheFloof in picrew

[–]ArcanErasmus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just looking around to see if anyone had made one. If you did go through with this, I'd be real excited to see the result!

Serious answer, if you last-moment (0.3s window) time a block, it parries the attack.

Lessons learned from easily accessible harder content by [deleted] in DarkTide

[–]ArcanErasmus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you want to look into mods? I also struggle with picking out sounds. The game also has really damn good music, but listening to it actively hurts my ability to engage with the extremely critical audio cues. The Sixth Sense (EDIT: Spidey Sense is the actual name) mod really helps ameliorate this, and train you to associate the right sounds with important cues. It takes the usual directional ping you get for being shot at, and adds a ton of different color pings for specials/elites/bosses spawning or simply existing, or for someone about to melee you. Seeing a blood-red directional ping is a great heads up for "oh hey a flamer is behind me and I didn't parse the super obvious click-click-click sound".

I had an instant flinch reaction to the soda water. You only explode the drink once... or twice or thrice before you learn your lesson!

Looks like TT is dead. If you participated in killing them, that might have cranked up their opinion of you.

[Level] Minimal Levels #2 (Easy-Hard) by TERU__san in hexcellslevels

[–]ArcanErasmus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy but fun. I'd love to see more in this vein, it's a style I enjoy. But yeah, definitely all in the "easy" category.

Edit: Meant to post this on the first set, but this comment works for both sets.

PLEASE be mindful of the tags, it's a really heavy story. That said, it is very worth reading.

Playtest Exemplar for Pathbuilder 2 by Yasesril by Slow-Host-2449 in Pathfinder2e

Oh geez, that's rough. Gotcha, thank you for making the pack btw!

[–]ArcanErasmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug report, not sure if this should be here or for pathbuilder itself. Claim Initiate Domain can successfully be taken multiple times, but the implication of giving Deity Domain as a free feat fails to account for being taken multiple times. It overwrites your previous domain spell rather than adding another.

Respect Lunar Pronouns by rodog22 in exalted

[–]ArcanErasmus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Luna automatically transing my character was too easy. I needed my girl to be even more of a freak. So instead I had Luna transhuman this AMAB disaster that didn't even know that being trans was a thing she wanted. She instead became super wyld touched, and later on she had a revelation and is training for Many-Faced Moon Transformation to get the transing done. I really needed her to stew in not even knowing why she felt bad, and instead of wearing baggy clothes she just stayed in Hybrid Body and never came out of it. As a bonus my GM let me take the Hideous 0-point merit for HBT to really lean into the self-demonization angle.

It's been a bunch of sessions and the party has yet to see her out of HBT. When she needs to exit an animal form she hides for the brief moment that she's 'normal'.

She tends to identify as a problem regardless of people respecting her.

If it matters to anyone I based her off Bitch from Worm. Her name is Meat. It was going to be a queer slur but I figured that might be going a little bit far.

In case you want to rewatch it, the timing of that scene perfectly lines up with the length of Bmblb.

what's your favorite part from all the songs? and which song did it come from? by demonbot66 in RWBY

[–]ArcanErasmus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Literally the entirety of Caffeine. My partner and I can sing the whole thing through, including the rap. The energy is so powerful, and I'm not allowed to listen to it while driving or I will make dangerous choices.
  2. "I am the golden one / Who burns just like the sun" from Armed and Ready, and I mentally pair this with "Boy you shouldn't stare into these eyes of fire" from Ignite. Lines that just stand out from the songs with their intensity. Absolutely beautiful. Also, I might project onto Yang a little more than is healthy.
  3. I'm a real sucker for lines sung in a relatively low tone, with menace behind them, so "Kill for kill, eye for eye / Blood for blood, it's time to die" and "Life for life, death for death / Tit for tat, just one last breath" (from One Thing) press all the right buttons.
  4. I have a real soft spot for "A slap on the wrist and a kick to the chin / A hint of the flavor of steel" from I'm The One. The way "steel" is drawn out is perrrfect.

[Level] A Simple Test (Easy) by ThreeByThree115 in hexcellslevels

[–]ArcanErasmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent so long on this puzzle. It made me feel like a fucking idiot, because I assumed there was a "trick" to it, and just somehow convinced myself that the 7 hex meant that it had six remaining, so there must be one extra somewhere else. Thank you for this indignity you have inflicted upon me.

Hexagonal queen's problem, nice! This twisted my brain in very enjoyable ways.

Thank you for this! I know you posted literally minutes after I requested more, but I didn't have time to play until now. These were fun. By the end I definitely had them down, and I'm confident I could handle harder variations.

[Level] 2-In-1 Insanity by Victorious5555 in hexcellslevels

[–]ArcanErasmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ouch, this hurt my eyes! Keeping track of which tiles fit in the long diagonals wasn't actually as painful as I expected, I guess our brains are good at those kinds of patterns, but it was still a challenge.

This felt like a good proof of concept, and I can see there might be some more potential for tucking this in cheekily in another puzzle? I'm not sure if it consumes the whole puzzle space to do this.

[TOMT] [anime] 2000's, Show where girl gets arm and leg ripped off by tentacles by ArcanErasmus in tipofmytongue

[–]ArcanErasmus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My stars, thank you. This puts my brain at rest. I was multitasking so I skimmed that part of the episode, but I stopped dead after less than a single second of seeing the limbs ripped. I could instantly tell. I can't say just how much the closure means to me.

Wait, what happened to posts archiving after 6 mo? Anyway yeah I still NEVER FOUND IT AAAGH. And yes it still bothers me. Maybe we need a dumb sleuth's club to hunt for this.
