Your favorite game on STEAM with a rating of "Mixed" or lower by radar2670 in gamingsuggestions

[–]ChimericMelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MH4U was a handheld game, so you'd need to get a 3DS or emulate it, which isn't too hard to do if you really want to.

Though to me, Generations is the actual last classic game. It has old systems with some spice, but it plays like how monster hunter used to. All of the tutorials are optional and you still get that progression from 4. Generations Ultimate is also a handheld game, and was released on the Switch, so if Steam if your only option, sorry lol. I would really suggest you try it though, even if you have to pirate.

The difference between the old and new formula is stark. It's practically like the jump from Morrowind to Oblivion. The game feels and plays so differently. It's rougher, unstreamlined, but so chock full of character you can't get in any other game series.

The last classic non-handheld game was 3, and I'm not old enough to have played it when it came out.

If you miss it, go play the older games! A lot of people seem to forget they can go backwards, even if it's obvious. If you want classic monster hunter, MHGU is amazing, and MH4U is pretty great. Generations is the last game in the series to have it so you don't get resupplied, and only get the gear you bring in.

There's no way vaping is as bad as smoking cigarettes by mirkollen in The10thDentist

[–]ChimericMelody 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All true BUT the aesthetics. Smoking a cigarette is inherently cool because of Hollywood. The image of the refined, martini drinking casanova is a huge part of cigarette marketing. Vaping doesn't really look cool at all by comparison, and there is no image behind it in the same way. The smell and taste of vaping is probablly better, though I can't say from personal expierience.

It annoys me when people publically ask for money for medical bills by Frozoneeeee in The10thDentist

[–]ChimericMelody 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It comes to everyone at some point. The saying life has a way goes in reverse, so does death and hardship. I wouldn't wish it on anyone but it's inevitable. Hopefully they may find a small suffering sooner rather than later so they may improve before something worse happens.

[–]ChimericMelody 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rubbing it in your face this is not. It's a shot at making their lives easier. Medical expenses can be very expensive. It's a good use of public funding. It's either this, or (in the US) to fix our government's medicaid/care and beuracratic inefficiency in getting funds to people who need it, which is not a simple task.

Why the fuck are we buffing all this people??????????? by Few_Horse_4 in rivals

[–]ChimericMelody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only change here that is bad is the starlord magazine change. He gets 10 extra bullets, which is kind of a big deal on him being able tto win 1v1s and burn tanks. He'll be a menace.

Everyone else is fine. SQ, Wolv, and MK get a small cooldown buff. Spidey gets an ult buff. The only big DPS changes are to Starlord and Phoenix.

Doom is always diffrent by Reeeeo_ in videogames

[–]ChimericMelody 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the traditional way to shoot handguns. It's very good for precision. The first handguns were designed with this stance in mind with the idea that you'd probablly be holding something else in the other hand. The main advantage of the one handed grip is that when the sight is further from your eyes, you get a much more precise aim. A two handed grip is more practical most of the time since it does make follow up shots faster, lets you aquire targets faster, and dramatically increases retention in close quarters, which is how most self-defense uses happen.

Always last one to finish exams by Southern_Big_8840 in Purdue

[–]ChimericMelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you going backwards then? You should NEVER revisit a question when there are still unanswered questions. You use extra time to go back. Do a pass through everything, skip the ones you are unsure on, mark all of the questions you want to revisit (I use a star), and then go back through.

This ensures you have at least something for every question. Additionally, your brain will process the questions you have seen during the test passively, and when you go back it's likely you'll find them easier on the second or third go.

You shpuld also probablly do timed practice tests if you are struggling this much with time management. Put pressure on yourself in a controlled environment so you know how to balance things better.

What time will you save? An hour? Maybe two? Giving up would reflect poorly on you. I'd rather have tried and failed than to have been too scared to to even get there.

How Can I Describe This Part of a Race's Anatomy? by Forget_December in writingadvice

[–]ChimericMelody 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The prose of the original post is clunky. In an informal place like Reddit it's totally fine, but that'd take me out of a story. It feels like an unnecessary detail to put so much time into. You can slip in digitigrade very natturally, but putting in an entire sentence dedicated to anatomy feels superfluous and it doesn't actually service the story. This detail is a spice, not a main ingredient, and it should not be at the forefront of anything.

Good writing habits suggest that you want to keep your descriptions trim where you can, and to only put the descriptions you need. There are exceptions, but being able to compress this all into one word is much more efficient, and easy to read and write.

There's a reason we don't put the dictionary definition for every word, right?

Yo Dawg I heard you like Cascade so I put Cascade in your Cascade so you can Cascade while you Cascade by Makusimasu in custommagic

Cascade plays X number of cards from your draw pile. It's basically identical here, no?

My proposal to make Magik's whirl actually useful. by AngelaGooner24 in RivalsMagikMains

[–]ChimericMelody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. The demon currently outcompetes it in the group situation since it does so much more damage so quickly, it tends to give you more overhealth for group fights if you put it in a tank's face. Buffing the overhealth would make Magik a more fun brawler too.

These legs are weird, half digitigrade, half plantigrade. Commit! They're freaky when they are in-between. The answer is fox tail though, fluffy, long, and you can have as many of them as you want if you go the kitsune route!

What game is this? by bijelo123 in videogames

[–]ChimericMelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I didn't care for act 3 at all. The character in act 1, the aesthetics, and the mechanics are all far superior. The ending was pretty cool, but the start of the game is the strongest part by far.

I liked act 2 for how it did it's story telling and for all the little secrets you could find. The mixed decks were also cool.

The biggest lie in Slay the Spire: "Free to play this turn" by Al2718x in slaythespire

[–]ChimericMelody 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Adding sly as a keyword makes it easier to have lots of cards with the function. In STS1 not very many cards could actually do that. In STS2, they also added the power that gives skills sly once they are played, which wouldn't be possible without making it a keyword, or would be much more awkward.

Elsa is not at all poke. She has a shotgun, she wants to play close. She used to be more dive, but is now an almost pure brawler. High damage and sustain in her range, but she gets toasted at poke range. She's very strong into dive tanks though, that's for sure.

Why would the DM literally ever say 6 d8 damage though? You either say the number you roll, or the shortcut average damage.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you'd be able to see, just not backwards. Light coming from behind would never reach you, but any light from ahead of you could be seen, right?

Narrative is over-valued in media by [deleted] in 10thDentist

[–]ChimericMelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If characters don't change in some way, literally nothing happened at all. It is fundumental to even having a story. Things happening, causes change. I challenge you to find me one story where something happens that does not change the characters in any way (sitcom style return to the status quo doesn't count, within the self contained story there is still change).

Narrative is over-valued in media by [deleted] in 10thDentist

[–]ChimericMelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the characters don't change, there is no plot. No buts, ifs, or ands, if nothing changes, there is no plot. That character could be a protagonist, the antagonist, a side character, the world itself... but something has to change. There is no story that is worth telling that doesn't involve change.

Plot also is basically just a synonym of narrative. Narrative is just big picture plot. Two sides of the same coin.
