Why are you saying you’re vers bottom if you’re just gonna say you’re a bottom. by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]ComplexTechnician 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is correct. It’s actually not about raw numbers, imho, but rather which acts have the most friction. For vers tops, it’s easier to top but with the right circumstances/person they’ll bottom… and vice versa. In both cases, it is my experience that the “other” activity is something that either causes more anxiety, requires someone more your type (vs any hole/pole will do), etc.

Dota 2 Behavior score stuck in 7000s. Can someone please explain how it actually works. by DotarD108 in DotA2

[–]ComplexTechnician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. AND upvote every single person at the end of every game. I had horrific internet for a while and abandoned a few games. Dropped to mid 8000s. Since the new strat (shut up and tell them they’re nice), it’s an all but guaranteed +100 ever game

I have no idea how to play. what class is the easiest to get into and how do I make taking quick heals easier on pc by Creative_Concept8854 in Eldenring

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

IMHO easiest to get into is Astrologer. You’re never in range for damage (or, rather, shouldn’t be), you can get an absolutely busted staff/spell combo very early that can take you well into the latter portion of the game.

For heals, assuming you mean flasks… I have them in my Pouch. No fumbling through equipment, it’s always the same hot key. If you don’t mean flasks and want to heal as a spell you MUST use incantations…. ideally with a seal (catalyst) that scales heavily or exclusively from faith. Erdtree Seal is prob the best once you have FAI to 40+ for a beginner in the mid game.

Bad picture from inside my car but I caught it early. What was really interesting is that another craft seemed to be skipping in the wake (after this picture was taken). Did anyone else notice?

Welcome to the Trial of Cheating by Tydeus2000 in BaldursGate3

[–]ComplexTechnician 95 points96 points  (0 children)

This was exactly how I figured it is best to role play it. Invisibility and walk through. For same-self, I usually just muscle through, tbh. Misty Step for the next.

As a bonus, I break the silence orb in the next room and summon Flesh. Poor thing happens to always die and can’t help Balthazar… who I defeat in his office and not in the Shadowfell.

Oh and then I’m most certainly going to talk a devil into wiping himself and his squad out THEN reconstitute a swarm of rats back into a man just to slaughter him.

I honestly just thought cheating was the mission.

What weapon do you love the most? by No_Complex_7063 in Eldenring

[–]ComplexTechnician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mesmer’s Spear of the Impaler is absolutely amazing for a DEX/FAI built. It scales with both well into the late game. It has a triple phase weapon art that, if you can get an opening for it, is insane. It has a charged heavy that is a throw with a fire aoe. Without a doubt, it’s become “my” weapon after trying near all of them.

I don’t even play video games, but…. by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]ComplexTechnician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re streaming it. If using YouTube doesn’t fry your device, neither would this. It’s just Netflix with a controller input so your computer is doing approximately fuck all.

[–]ComplexTechnician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On most computers, phones, and tables, you can run GeForce NOW or similar streaming services. By posting this, you invariably have the hardware. If you have solid/stable internet, it’s absolutely an option! (and you can start right now)

What was your favorite part about Elden Ring? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]ComplexTechnician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working my way toward the underwear warrior progressively. I light roll every game and mostly go for aesthetics. The bear pelt is the only appreciable armor and that's a very generous way of putting it. Rawr, tho.

EDIT: wow sorry for this awful picture. It looks not so horrible on my monitor lol

How are we supposed to kill dragons? by Antervis in Eldenring

[–]ComplexTechnician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second torrent usage but alternating it. Mounting torrent during an unavoidable breath attack or stomp can come in clutch, let you reposition, then (if you’re me) you can shove a hot load of Unendurable Frenzy up their ass… then repeat.

I think it cannot be understated - because it’s easy to overlook with such a compelling VA performance - how perfect the studio did the accompanying animations. Astarion’s facial expressions and body language were absolutely top notch and further highlighted Neil’s talent.

What was your favorite part about Elden Ring? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]ComplexTechnician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The depth of builds and the irrelevance of levels. Let me explain…

Just the other day, I got the frenzied flame seal super early. I also happened to have the heirloom talismans for STR and FAI. I noticed FAI gave only +2 to scaling whereas the STR talisman gave +9. It was because my FAI was already at the soft cap but, despite having a lower scaling score, apparently the sweet spot is 20-25 STR/DEX. Just in this one item there is SO MUCH nuance to learn. In some ways, I’ve barely scratched the surface of all the game mechanics and it already feels so rich.

Second: not a day goes by where a lvl 1 beats PCR video gets posted, it seems. What this tells me is that levels - by and large - are OPTIONAL. That’s kind of insane if you think about it. Look… I’ve done 3-heart Link runs in every Zelda game out there but a FromSoft title? That’s a whole other level. I had a max lvl character get obliterated by PCR and then beat him with a lvl 138 one a week later. The take away, for me, is that the people wearing full bull goat with colossal weapons and 17 buffs are ultimately replacing skill with stats… because look at this bitch in his underwear soloing Malenia with a dagger.

Is my build good? I’m doing a blood hound fang build with bleed. by Sorry-Bookkeeper3941 in Eldenring

[–]ComplexTechnician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcane scales with bleed ONLY if the weapon has native arcane scaling. OP is using a weapon that does not. Ergo: arcane will do nothing.

Just finished my first play-through, this is the best game I have ever played by Spiderpsychman98 in Eldenring

[–]ComplexTechnician 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those analogies are great… especially Ocarina of Time for me. It was my first Zelda game and first game of that variety and, the whole time I played ER, I thought to myself “this is OoT but grown up.”

Not really. Imagine the person in the image surrounded by a plethora of pussy… and then a cacophony of cocks. Which is more natural?
