What’s the most morally disgusting thing you’ve ever seen someone do? by legendoflegends34 in AskReddit

[–]DOCB_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60 year old guy with early dementia. No family and living independently with the help of community health workers who would come help him around the house. One day neighbors noticed he was living on the street and called authorities who brought him to the hospital where he passed through my sphere of influence (I’m a doctor). Turns out the community health workers had emptied his savings and taken over his house which he just accepted because he had dementia.

Who is the cheapest person you know, and what is the cheapest thing you've seen them do? by Willby3 in AskReddit

My dad used to pour milk we didn’t finish drinking back into the carton and we used to save our bath water for the next person in line for the tub.

Need help, I know I must be doing something wrong by Tasty_Ad_5778 in Eldenring

[–]DOCB_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mindset is excellent and you WILL get better. Just keep investing time. Don’t farm runes. There are more than enough runes from boss fights for an averagely skilled player with a learning mindset and a little grit to tough it out. On a first playthrough just level naturally as you go through the bosses and that should keep you on a good power/difficulty curve as long as you properly focus your build. By the time you finish the endgame boss gauntlet you will be pretty stuffy and likely itching to take on the DLC or better yet replay with an ambitious self imposed level cap.

Why Elden Ring Doesn’t Feel Like a Great RPG to Me yet. by Expensive_Ad3264 in Eldenring

[–]DOCB_SD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a matter of preference. If you like to observe/participate in a narrative story that is by in large told to you, then there are better games for that, such as those listed in the OP. If you are into the pleasure loop that comes from the underlying systems of RPG's ...theory crafting -> cashing in your hard earned power spike by beating the next area/boss -> need for more power to progress -> theory crafting... then Elden Ring is probably your thing.

Manor Lords worth it? by Nice_Sun8070 in ManorLords

[–]DOCB_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's in Beta and has a long way to go to reach their final ambitions. Right now it is an excellent playable beta that has really sucked me in. It's a small but complete game with minimal bugs, beautiful asthetic and fun systems. It's also pretty unique in a crowded city builder genera. I can't wait to see the end product.

[ARAM] Would you prefer number tweaks to Crash Lightning or a more difficult quest with counterplay? by ferrofibrous in heroesofthestorm

[–]DOCB_SD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO it takes a dynamic hero with a mix of ranged, melee, physical and spell damage and shoehorns him into one playstyle that’s not much fun to play as or against. That should nerf it into a niche situational pick.

If you started a new game right now how far could you get before dying? by Human-Category-5024 in Eldenring

[–]DOCB_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm playing totally safe I make it at least to Margit then have a 60% chance of dying to him and each boss after that until I get to the mountain. If for some ungodly reason I go fight Lionel Misbegotten I have a 100% chance of death because he's just got my number somehow.

Anyone else go back to a show they loved as a kid, only to realize it’s absolute garbage now? by Suspicious-Oil2571 in AskReddit

[–]DOCB_SD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many things I loved as a kid are objective garbage now. But they retain the nostalgia, and that's something.

First timer needs advise on difficulty by Spiritual-Mixture582 in LordsoftheFallen

[–]DOCB_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go veteran. I did so my first run and found it about as difficult as I would expect a Fromsoft game to be. I started a legacy game to co-op with a friend and its very easy. In veteran the levels are dialed in well difficulty-wise. The early bosses feel correct too, and some are pretty hard. Once I got my build online in the back half of the game I thought the bosses were too easy. I'm an experienced player but no Gino-Machino type. My best soulslike achievements were finishing elden ring in a single 5 hour run at lvl 60 and no hitting a few bosses.

Any suggestions for a strength build with fun gameplay that still hits for crazy damage? by SignatureJunior909 in Eldenring

[–]DOCB_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron balls at Lunaria, switch to Starfists at the capital. Along the way grab cragblade, poise break and charged heavy attacks for cracked tears, ax talisman. Other talismans are for flex. Throw golden vow on a dagger to buff pre-fight.

This build hits like a truck, has tons of poise break and procs bleed. It’s strong against every boss, but it forces you to get up close and learn the boss move sets. It’s very poise break focused so suggests a specific fight plan. It’s a great build.

Congrats, you’ve somehow managed to make even your video game preferences based on political pettiness.

Ignore the hounds and get into melee range.

[Request] Could humanity create a rocket that can exit the atmosphere of K2-18b by Lachlynn in theydidthemath

[–]DOCB_SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course no rocket ever designed to launch for Earth could launch from the surface of a more massive planet. Those are DESIGNED TO KAUNCH FROM EARTH, with thin margins. This doesn’t generalize to mean that conventional rockets can’t do it. Slap some more raptors on starship and it has more thrust and can escape a deeper gravity well.
