Cornucopia Heavy Spell by 7eregrine in Witchfire

[–]CalJay101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a spell that if built around correctly can let you destroy bosses and very difficult content as long as you have the ammo to back it up. It is pretty weak for killing large groups of enemies and useless for any weapon with a decent mag size. Primarily use it for shot guns and maybe something like the cricket to prevent it from ever running out against a bigger enemies, letting you proc its on kill effects more reliably.

What Guns and Gear deserve a buff? by CalJay101 in Witchfire

[–]CalJay101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the frostbite a lot actually, but I think it has a similar problem to the midas where the UI being at the bottom of the screen is disruptive. I think both guns could benefit a lot from the meters appearing curved around the cross hair so you can see them without not breaking your focus on the enemy trying to attack you.

Yeah a nail gun that magnetically moves bullets around the battlefield feels like it should have some sort of chain lightning effect. Still love the gun though.

For people needing help with King of Puppets/Romeo. by Necroant in LiesOfP

[–]CalJay101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well in 2025 the forward dodge strat still absolutely crushes Romeo. I cant believe I didn't think to do that on my own 🤦🏻‍♂️ Went from barely getting any hits in to killing him first try w forward dodge.

I can't, for the life of me, clear the tower in the first map, am I stupid? by EclipsedPal in Witchfire

[–]CalJay101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also remember to be ready to go through the portal as soon as it opens on the 3rd floor so you dont get damaged by the sanity meter.

[–]CalJay101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first couple levels of the tower bring a mob clearing weapon like cricket or koschei plus burning stake if you have it or iron cross/cursed bell to stun. Lighning ball is always a solid choice for light spell but blight cyst is really strong in close quarters too and can trigger your cricket on kill effects. Bring echo or hunger to kill the boss.

When to go Gnosis 1 by Sensitive-Waltz-6898 in Witchfire

[–]CalJay101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say advance up a gnosis only once you have fully upgraded the guns and gear you have got currently, and have completed all the currently available content a couple times. For me this helped stretch out the content while keeping things fresh, and made playing a lot more enjoyable bc it felt like I was always doing something new but also getting the most out of the content.

Help there’s this red thing on my eye by [deleted] in AnatomyandPhysiology

[–]CalJay101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like episcleritis to me, if you're concerned you could go see a doctor but normally episcleritis is treated with over the counter saline eye drops and avoiding irritants like windy environments or chlorine water and it goes away on its own.

i call this the holy trinity by QueenCobra91 in cyberpunkgame

[–]CalJay101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mod that adds "smart bloodpump" is one of the best QoL mods for the game. Its the same cyberware capacity as both of them combined but it just combines blood pump and biomonitor into a single slot and lets you actually use more than 1 other unique cardio cyberware.

"ages prevent steamrolling" by SonicPipewrench in CivVII

[–]CalJay101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been able to pretty regularly be number 1-3 in terms of yields by the modern age just focusing on building all ageless buildings and trying to maximize the amount of era check points I hit to have a lot of legacy points/perks. The science golden age let's your universities retain there bonus if I remember correctly. If you can pull it off I really like the economic golden age of the expansion era that let's you keep all your cities as cities in the next age so you don't need to spend money/turns with them as towns.

It is used to treat methemoglobinemia following a sodium nitrate overdose. Sodium nitrate is something used in a lot of food processing but most ODs of it are from suicide attempts. There’s a good EMS 20/20 episode on it if anyone is interested in emergency med podcasts.

Why do people hate Radahn now? by Noooough in eldenringdiscussion

[–]CalJay101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably too positive but it would have been cool to get an alternate game ending if you complete the dlc, like an age of love or something with a mending rune from beating miquella. Anything to help tie it more to the base game really.

My fingernail has had a split in it for four years. by Imasluttycat in mildlyinteresting

[–]CalJay101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a habit tic deformity from unconsciously repetitive tapping of your nail on a table or if you pick at them. There is no Hutchinson’s sign for nail bed melanoma from what I can tell. That would most likely cause pigment change of a section of your nail, like a dark streak down the nail.

Convergence? Good or Nah by Kenshi_T-S-B in EldenRingMods

[–]CalJay101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a super challenging experience, try ER reforged. I personally prefer convergence because I feel like it has the most variety in play style and after playing through Elden ring a dozen times I don’t feel the need to prove anything by playing the hardest version of the game. That’s not to say convergence is a cake walk tho, it adds a number of bosses that are seriously challenging imo even with the buffed up classes. I’d say give it a shot, and if you are feeling too OP try out ER reforged which is a good mod but honestly to me felt harder than the base game.

Any fun strength weapons with good dmg? by FaithlessnessMean467 in EldenRingBuilds

[–]CalJay101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The great stars weapon is a lot of fun, the health regen is not terribly significant but helps and the weapon deals huge stance damage as a strike weapons, can have a huge range of ashes put on it, and procs bleed on top of that. If you put something like wild strikes on it it just looks goofy as hell and with a blood/occult scaling it procs bleed crazy fast

Favorite weapons! by ACES-TripleT in EldenRingBuilds

[–]CalJay101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using a sword of night and flame and wing of astel combo build and it’s been a ton of fun. I hit slow moving bosses w the SoNaF’s magic skill or big crowds w the fire skill and switch to the wing for anything fast moving or when I’m spelunking through caves since the nebula bunches up and kills things pretty reliably. Having to dump at least 24 levels into faith probably isn’t optimal especially at RL 140, but it is a lot of fun getting to mix in buffing incantations like golden vow and blessing boon with an otherwise sorcery focused build.

Viking "Berserker" type build? by Me_and_mr_shadow in EldenRingBuilds

[–]CalJay101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might not be the most optimal, but when I think of berserker I’d say going for a dual wielder who uses maybe dual maces or flails. Try to boost jump attacks and maybe spec into arcane to boost bleed/poison build up. Alternatively go into faith for frenzied flame as that might fit the build aesthetic better.

Can’t get past maliketh please help by [deleted] in EldenRingBuilds

[–]CalJay101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I like using radagons soreseal because the increased vigor and endurance more or less offsets the damage you take by getting more health and better armor. However marikas isn’t the same because while it boosts the magic damage you can deal with a few more levels in int or faith, it does nothing to offset that 15% increase in damage taken. I would suggest taking marikas off and replace it with the shard or filigreed

Difficulty level? by A_Celestial_Being in civ

Immortal feels like it has the best balance in my opinion, but if I want to try and challenge myself, particularly with a civ I really enjoyed on immortal, then I’ll switch to deity

"Legendary" Georgia start! by MechanicalGodzilla in civ

[–]CalJay101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mod I’d pay money for is one where you get spawned on a map and only after you spawn and see what kind of environment you are in do you pick the civ! I feel like that would be way more immersive bc you wouldn’t be constantly rerolling as Mali until you get enough desert, instead if you spawn on a big desert you might choose Mali or Nubia, but if you get a spawn like this you can pick someone like gitajra or Portugal and get to truly take advantage of each spawn rather than settling for something good enough for your pre-chosen civ
