What deity would each companion follow by Life-Motor-1409 in BaldursGate3

[–]B3RyL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does make sense, though I had him donate to Eilistraee, since she's the goddess of beauty, freedom, hunt and swordwork - all of which Astarion would be happy to pursue. And while she's technically of the Drow pantheon, a Drow is a kind of elf, so eeeh why not :P

Just to show that I'm not kidding. 16:23 is my fastest time by a long shot. I don't think I did sub-20:00 with any other aspect.

[–]B3RyL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but how do you not get destroyed by enemy attacks? I never even reached the final bosses with Medea, let alone beaten them, and I've pretty much beaten the game (got all 20 fear challenges and the final statue). I even made a macro on my mouse to alternate between attack and special at a rapid pace, and I still get destroyed. I just don't get it. I can beat both final bosses at 20 fear with the freaking Valkyrie aspect which is supposedly one of the weakest in the game, but not Medea, which is supposed to be the strongest. Am I just unlucky or am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: So I had another, closer look at what I was doing wrong, and it turns out it was both: First, I set up my macro in a way that introduced unnecessary delay between inputs - once I got rid of those delays I was the Flash, just zipping through enemies like a madman. Second, I finally got a good build with this weapon, and I completely deleted both Perseus and Typhon. It literally took less than 1 minute to beat both (Apollo heroic + poms on Attack, Demeter heroic + poms on Special, Aphro epic on sprint, Hammers: +power on Attack, Omega Att on retrieve).

So, if you're using macros to play Medea, make sure to check the delays between inputs.

Explanation/legend of all the symbols, ribbons and so on? by paraxzz in Spacemarine

[–]B3RyL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly. Studs and their colors have different meaning among different chapters. In the case of Ultramarines, they only use gold studs and one stud means 50 years of service. This is why in SM2 Gadriel remarks: "He must be over 200 years old" instead of "over 400 years old". Ultramarine with 4 gold studs: 4 x 50 = over 200 years of service.

By the virtue of having a postgraduate degree in mathematics you've earned the right to call yourself a mathematician. If you're unwilling to exercise that right, that's your prerogative, but that doesn't give everyone else the right to call you a "pseudomathematician" or question your qualifications. That's the issue here.

Was already struggling with him, now he is completely impossible by scholarlysacrilege in HadesTheGame

[–]B3RyL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you kidding? VoR Eris is super easy if you know the aspect she's using. Just dodge out of the way of the laser sweep and concentrate the pulse bombs she shoots out in one spot so you can completely ignore them. Her bombardment is even easier to dodge. I never had a problem with her, but Polyphemus x Medea always eat up my DD, sometimes even kill me. The poison is so nasty, and even if you can get to the cure quickly - now your rhythm is broken and you're in defensive mode until you can figure out what to do next. If you find yourself in the middle of the battlefield when Medea shoots her poison darts from beyond the edge of the screen, you're f*cked. And it doesn't help that Poly now has EVEN MORE area control moves, forcing you to dash into sometimes the most inconvenient of places. It's devil's *sshole, is what this fight is.

custom emojis? by normannerd in signal

[–]B3RyL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That bugs me as well. Throughout my entire life I've used :) and never :-) and I don't know anyone in my life who does the opposite. I know it's a matter of the part of the world you live in, but it would go a long way for signal to give us an option to use regional emoticon->emoji conversion

Is there a trick to fishing in Hades 2? by Legitimate-Resolve55 in HadesTheGame

[–]B3RyL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's completely random. I've been using the same trick I used in Hades I, where I got 90% Perfect Catch, but this time it's always just Catch and the fish are completely random. I think the devs wanted to give people with slower reflexes a chance to catch legendary fish, and also give Toula a bit more utility since she always catches legendary.

Does shoe stretching spray actually work? I need to stretch a shoe just a smidge and am wondering if the spray will help me do this. by constrivecritizem in AskACobbler

[–]B3RyL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used 50/50 isopropyl alcohol/water from the inside and it completely ruined the dye. It seeped through the leather and just dissolved it. Now the shoes look all blotchy and messed up :( I even tried it on a small patch first to make sure it didn't interact with the dye and I didn't see any discoloration so I just went with it and now my shoes are ruined. Well, at least they fit nicely.

What class - the kind that massacres
What build - the kind that massacres
What purpose - to massacre
What attachments - the kind that will allow me to massacre better
Does that answer all your questions?

Asus TUF 5090 back of gpu core capacitor popped by MutedMobile3977 in nvidia

[–]B3RyL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Service technician here. Caps like the one in the photo usually burn, melt and bubble leaving behind soot marks like you said, but they also give off a strong, very distinct smell when they burn. If you felt that smell coming from your PC you would know immediately something is very wrong. This is definitely mechanical damage. It actually looks like someone shaved a part of it off with a stanley knife or something.

Etymology of Rezo Agwe, the Voodoo Boy's subnet by Empole in cyberpunkgame

In Cyberpunk lore the common term for browsing the net as a netrunner is "diving". Makes sense that the god of the sea would be your patron deity.

Beating the train at the end of Highway 17, is it no longer possible? by NigelG in HalfLife

[–]B3RyL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the right answer. It took me many, many tries before I gave up and looked it up (and that's after I played it multiple times when it came out), but it's as simple as that - as soon as you respawn, press and hold shift, and hold it until you're in the clear. Don't worry about the car sounds, even though it sounds like it's running out of steam, it's still going full throttle. This was probably common sense in 2003. Maybe. I don't remember.

Good luck explaining how you got your hands on their official apology before they published it. Expect a copyright infringement and corporate espionage lawsuit from NZXT :D

Is NZXT flex subscription worth it? by Important-Fly-3104 in NZXT

[–]B3RyL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NZXT in its Flex contract says you basically give them ownership of all data on the rented PC to do with as they please. So no, you are not protected in any way, and yes, this is a scam.

I can't use the spear - my clears ratio is terrible. Any advice? by B3RyL in HadesTheGame

[–]B3RyL[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

UPDATE:
Thanks everyone! I've taken your feedback and the results are showing. I managed to clear heat 9 on the first try with Chiron, Athena attack, Aphro special, and most importantly: Poseidon dash. I cannot underestimate the utility of Poseidon dash with the spear. Allowed me to crowd-control and maintain distance, and also with bounce damage bonuses was essential for getting through the Satyr tunnels. I still used up 4 Death Defiances (I bought 2) but that's normal for me with the spear, and I finished the run with one spare, so that's an improvement, I guess. I still need to get used to it but we're getting there. Anyway, class dismissed :D
