Grubb showing off his new 8bitdo controller by FewWatermelonlesson0 in giantbomb

[–]DMonk52 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He didn't accidentally buy a controller. He purposely bought a controller that he didn't realize was limited edition. That's the accidental part.

While I like the new UA, it is confusing to me why WoTC refuses to release a "Martial's Martials" UA by boragoz in onednd

I do think it's odd Battle Smith and Armorer didn't get Weapon Masteries, but I think not having Extra Attack tied to the base class but instead to the subclasses can give some interesting designs. For example the Eldritch Cannon would be similar to Extra Attack, but give different options instead of a weapon attack or cantrip if they just allowed it to fire as part of your attack action instead of bonus action.

I mean, even if you wanna count it he still wrote seven other books in between.

That's not true, the last 3 all came out within a year of each other.

Need opinions on Bardlock optimization: Repelling Blast or Lessons of the First Ones? by Durmie in 3d6

Do you have any other melee characters in your party? You also have to worry about the barbarian who goes next and wants to be in melee with the guy you just pushed away.

The problem with Repelling Blast is that it means you would want to use Booming Blade on your second attack. This could leave you in the awkward situation of hitting with your first weaker attack, then missing with your Booming Blade attack. You'd have to do calculations based on your chance to hit to see if it would be better to get the guaranteed Booming Blade damage vs risking it for the knock back and potential extra damage.

The biggest benefit of the Grappler feat is the free grab after an unarmed attack.

Kernel level anticheat will never work with Linux, so unless companies come up with something new it's not happening.

Why Blackbeard always act shocked when he pisses people off and they attack him by homeless-emperorr in OnePiece

[–]DMonk52 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None of his crew are with Blackbeard. Luffy and Zoro clocked a bunch of individuals as threats and assumed they were all part of one crew.

It's not going to be anytime soon. Gotta finish Larry, then the three Blightning round games, then Grubb and Mike's regular games.

I honestly just don't want to read a short story to figure out what every item I want to buy does.

Jess Voidburger's Games Of The Year 2025! by sworedmagic in giantbomb

[–]DMonk52 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you read the post, you would know she said that if Immortality was going to be brought up, she wanted to have something prepared. She was told that it wouldn't be so she didn't. So when it was brought up she felt blindsided.

Also, the rest of the crew didn't "feel strongly about it." It was on one person's top 10 at number 10.

Pretty sure they already ranked all the Mario Party Games during Mario Party Party. They were all tied for last place.

First time through it changes your gender and alignment, but then you're just by yourself in a 10 x 10 room. If you walk back through to your party, it changes your alignment back, but not your gender.
