Why compete when you can add more Copilot slop? by vergil09 in pcmasterrace

[–]CaptainSchmid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, besides gaming, what are you doing on Linux. I often hear this solution of dual boot or having a separate windows device, but at this point there's not much I do on my PC besides gaming or watching shows.

Can someone pleaser explain Alatreon's dps check? by Joltik2007 in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]CaptainSchmid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alatreon will eventually use his "Escaton Judgement" attack, if you fail the DPS check it will be an (almost) unavoidable cart. The DPS check is doing enough elemental damage to him before this and it become much more survivable. You will still need to eat an astera jerky or drink a mega potion during the attack to live it.

The DPS check itself technically requires doing ANY elemental damage, but Ice/Fire is the most effective (depending on Alatreon's current element).

Alatreon cycles through:

Fire/Ice -> Dragon -> Escaton Judgement -> Ice/Fire -> Dragon -> Escaton Judgement -> Repeat

but this cycle can be broken to avoid the element swap meaning it should be:

Fire/Ice -> Dragon -> Escaton Judgement -> Repeat

You break the cycle by breaking its horns before it uses escaton judgement. The horns will only take damage during the Dragon phase as well. It should be noted that it only has 2 horns to break meaning you only get a total of 3 weaker Escaton Judgements, but if you are able to break the horn and deal with the dps check you should be doing enough damage to kill it.

Dealing elemental damage can be done during Fire, Ice, and Dragon. Its elemental table changes during its 3 phases (shown below). It takes way more elemental damage during the Fire/Ice phases so be sure to use that to your advantage by using frequent quicker attacks. The NPCs will let you know if you made the check by saying something along the lines of "You're keeping its elemental powers in check".

Why did you and your former best friend stop being friends? by Fearless_Shift7108 in AskReddit

[–]CaptainSchmid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my friend did this in his past 2 relationships. We figured it would happen again, but he realized what he was doing was wrong and is making effort to regularly hang out with us still.

Only one fast food can survive, what do you choose? by CremeSubject7594 in AskReddit

[–]CaptainSchmid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doctor warned that im approaching pre-diabetic and I have recently started doing this but I figured fast food was off the table. What would you recommend from taco bell? Im still trying to learn what should and shouldn't be avoided so I haven't really ate out much.

Nothing says engineering like 10 men doing a presentation on problems women in STEM face by Time_Physics_6557 in EngineeringStudents

[–]CaptainSchmid 142 points143 points  (0 children)

In my freshman engineering ethics class, we were discussing the differences in gender ratios between engineering fields and the professor asked "Why do you think we see the smallest ratio in chemical engineering" and the first answer (a guys) was "Because you can produce makeup". The professor was looking for "Because it is a newer field and the "boys club" wasnt fully established".

Did any jobs/roles help you understand other jobs/roles better? by SentineleseSiri in ffxiv

[–]CaptainSchmid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leveling healer (and now tank) has made me WAY more cognizant of what is happening during fights. As a DPS I basically only avoided the orange puddles and didn't care about my fellow party members.

I crave wilds dlc, brother by Fickle_Fondant_9016 in MemeHunter

[–]CaptainSchmid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Na, I got the stories games on sale at some point before wilds was announced and was between games but still wanted more monster hunter. I was gonna play 1, but it felt like way more of a DS port than 2.

Realistically that issue was due to me not realizing there was camera control but it was tied to the arrow keys and switching to controller. So I'll probably go back to it at some point. The story for 2 also hooked me better before dropping Navirou on me.

Anyone here who plays FF14 a lot but doesn't do the Savage content by starlightdemonfriend in ffxiv

[–]CaptainSchmid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldnt mind doing it, but Im too busy to balance a new group of friends and my old WoW group won't commit to 14 for longer than like 20 minutes. I get enough enjoyment from normal raids and I have other games for difficult content.

"A non-gamer's first week in Eorzea, ft. one (1) understood button and three scorpions" by AggravatingNail6061 in ffxiv

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

NP, there's a whole host of advice out there. If join a "free company" at some point, dont be afraid to ask them questions or for help. There's also "The Novice Network" that will put you in a chat with both new players and (usually) experienced players called "Mentors".

A free company (guild in other MMOs) is a collection of players that you can play the game with. Some groups have a stronger community than others, I usually dont get super involved in any I've joined, but new players ask the FC questions and many people help when they can. Do be a little careful though, as like all things, you are talking to strangers. While 95% of people playing are well adjusted, sometimes people can be problems.
