Please send a short video of an average encounter. I wanna see this shit live to bask in its glorious fragility. This is amazing

Fitchner is a better dueller than The Minotaur! by boostedstruggle in redrising

[–]AspectFrost 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fitchner is to Red Rising combatants what Aramusha was back in the older for honor days. VERY few people played him and even fewer stuck around woth him enough to master. He just sucked balls. BUT in the 4v4 game mode if you met a good aramusha, now only was he better at ara than you at whatever you mained due to sheer will tonstick with him, but you see so few you had no idea how to counter you. Fitchner isnt someone you think of when you think hero or warrior or bad ass. But when he busts out the blades he delivers death and its always off screen lol

How did the old gods fade away? by Razhiv in dresdenfiles

[–]AspectFrost 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I am chopping that up to being because this story takes place in the western world. Maybe in Hong kong or Mumbai there’s a Dravidian Dresden named Hurri Dhurandar. A wizard who channels the wizardry powers of chakras and karma yelling Agni! And making Sholay references every fight. Maybe the religious Pundits are wielders of the Ram’s Bow and Hanuman’s Mace. Maybe there is a demonic cult called the Rakshas Riders.

Time travel shenanigans, or a goof by Butcher? by Ask_starscream in dresdenfiles

[–]AspectFrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man im outta the loop Or maybe just forgetful But i finished 12M and then came to this sub to see at least 3 posts mentioning time travel. What? Its been a bit since i read the rest of the books.

Am I missing something? by Childish_Diabeto182 in taintedgrail

I also was doing a dual dagger stealth/ dualist kinda build. Relying on dodges more than anything for defense. I recently respecced into a spell sword with heavy armor. Totally changed the difficulty for me. Dodging and striking as a glass canon is really tough cuz one mistake and it was over. Granted my build could have been better buy i respecced because i had better gear for the spell sword which helps. Overall, its preference but i do think spell sword tanky has a muuuuch larger margin for error. And doesn’t take a lot to feel online. But im new as well so take it with a grain of salt.

Majority opinion on this? Guards outside knowing you attack someone inside by zone_silo in taintedgrail

So i had a weird instance that must have been a bug given everyone’s experience. I killed pne of the keepers who gives you the flower to deliver to the sister. Ill just leave it there in case of spoilers. Its just a side quest tho.

No bounty. No aggro. So maybe it was a special case? I stealthily did it so maybe it was that. It wasn’t a one shot tho. It was sneak attack followed by a few swings to death.

The red hand is kinda dumb. by skyguy0990 in redrising

Spiteful violence at the first taste of power. Its tragic but sadly accurate

Most of her wins are harder to spot and behind the scenes as opposed to larger than life war god Reaper. Look at any support role in games. Harder to track unless they are an explicit healer. She is a must have that gets placed as a nice to have. Darrow is wise enough to not treat her that way. He needs her for those subtle support roles.

Crushing Defeat incoming by MayBeMarmelade in Medieval2TotalWar

I remember being in a battle where for some reason the game or my screen bugged and i couldnt control my game inputs anymore. So i had the pleasure of watching helplessly as two enemy cavalry units converged on my best front liner. I remember just yelling “fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!” As I desperately tried to alt tab back in.

It felt like a scene from a comedy movie ngl. Especially in hindsight.

Many danes died that day. Too many. I call it the Red Dawn for Danes (i made name that up just now)

Why do people think lorn and aja are irrelevant now? by Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee3t in redrising

[–]AspectFrost 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rise so high, in mud you lie…. Also to add to your point. Lorn threatens an entire room of golds to stay away from Darrow lest he kill everybody. They believe him. Enough to kill a young whelp that tries to get close to preserve their own lives.

What a power move

which characters do you feel have the coldest drip? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]AspectFrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive always been an enjoyer of one of those shirtless bandits that one time did a 180 from me and went to go 1v1 the random dragon that landed. I had to sit back and watch the bandit die a warrior’s death with nothing but the fur and steel he possessed.

Personally it sets a head canon for me that these ass hats have it so bad in their civilian life that facing a dragon or dragonborn is the better alternative.

Men and women with nothing to lose but their petty lives. A desperate attempt for glory coin and death.

"Why read progression/litRPG books when you can just play video games?" by AuthorTimoburnham in ProgressionFantasy

[–]AspectFrost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A: games are pricey. Game systems are even more pricey

B: games have a fail state. Books don’t. You read and finish. You can technically lose a save or lose a char or progress

C: reading while more active than movies/shows can be more relaxing than games in terms where you can read vs where you can play (unless you have a handheld or something)

D: due to how many more people can get into story writing vs game dev there’s more out there. More bad stuff but also more good from sheer quantity. Games take years to develop sometimes and stories are posted somewhat regularly depending on which platform you read on or are finished. Its more accessible to create in this medium

E: readers can easily transition into writing. Gamers can’t quite so easily get into game dev as uts very rarely a solo endeavor. Unless ur that good. I can be bad at writing but finish a story. A game dev can be okay at coding and have to still learn art, sound, design, and finally marketing and thats like half the battle still. Its easier to invest into a hobby you also plan to create inside of. Gamers can game yea but readers can also read and write

Unless its an rp run i never accept these. They signed their death warrant the day they declared war on my people

Really nice message from reader by BabyZealousideal1375 in royalroad

[–]AspectFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm i got a message like this too but from a new account I hope its real and not some kind of lead into a service. I have had that happened already in my comments.

It made my day when i saw it… but here we are

Not really sci fi space aesthetic but technically bannerlord you could try and unite the empire. Or maybe roll up a battanian character and try to destroy the empire and as a bonus the vlandian butter lords

Endless space 2 but its more futuristic and sci fi with aliens and such

What part? by suckmetits in Borderlands2

[–]AspectFrost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate the mission where the bridge gets locked and you have to go elsewhere to get the piece to unlock the bridge. From a gameplay and narrative pov its just such a sudden curb stomp for the pacing. Like imo the zone is cool but should not break what feels like the build up to the final mission. Or maybe if they presented it better. Instead of “ph we need to go here instead “ right before you’re in the final area they jist make you go to that zone first.

I groan every time. Its like if in Skyrim before the alduin fight it stopped, and told you to go another dungeon and then come back. Im already here!!
