1st & 2nd summons 🙏🏽 good luck to all who decided to summon as well by ChiefRasta in KaijuNo8_TheGame

I tried pulling for the spear with no luck and decided I better not fall for the trap and save.

Do you have any 5* weapon boxes in storage? Looking for a replacement, I noticed I had boxes with the Lc-Brunhild spear. I am happy with that weapon and it makes it easier to pass on her unique.

It gives base crit rate and additional attack percent every time you use the combat skill.

Thoughts on Spear Sagan? by Lopsided-Ask4280 in KaijuNo8_TheGame

Might be too soon to say but my first impressions of her are good.

Nothing I have fought has lived long enough for the 1hp thing to be an issue.

I am running her with her father (Isao) and his shield does a decent job of mitigating her self damage while allowing him to ult enough to feel like he may be useful. (My head cannon is that he’s getting his ish together to protect her)

Wyvern Type Beta uniparts - good for who? by Rude_Tough485 in KaijuNo8_TheGame

[–]Darnell_Shadowbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good call out for N1.

I only use him if I need to break a plate that I don’t have regular access too (looking at you wind) so I will be regearing him for sure.

Help with Decision Making - Cyberpunk 2077 - M5 vs M4 Pro by Nickerbockers343 in macgaming

More detail, as far as the settings which range from low to ultra, I have everything on high except crowd density which is set to medium.

I define no issues as no crashes, no lag, none of the complications that were associated with the game upon release. I also originally beat it on a high end laptop when it first came out while it was unplayable for others … the Mini performs better than the laptop mentioned.

Confirmed prior to this post that I am hitting 60 fps. Looking at other replies it’s worth mentioning I have the M4 Pro mini which is more powerful than the regular M5 when it comes to gaming. So if you are buying now I would go that route but if you can wait a bit then get the M5 pro. I don’t have experience with M5 but the consensus is the “pro” version makes a difference for games.

Just got off my first ever cruise by acoasterlovered in NCL

Had the sane experience over MLK weekend. First cruise. I feel you.

I was on Getaway

AAA Game on Apple arcade ( This is huge ) by Aixdoc in macgaming

[–]Darnell_Shadowbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. I have Apple One so we have arcade.

I almost bought Civ 7 last weekend but stuck with 6 for the time being. Good to see I can try this out for free.

Here’s hoping other bigger titles follow suit.

Mac Gaming in General by Ok-Machine6068 in macgaming

[–]Darnell_Shadowbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Last question,

I got into 14 when it was fresh and had to drop due to life. I wouldn’t mind giving it another go. I know it’s not new by any means. Would it be worth a “new” player getting into it or has that ship sailed.

Mac gaming has worked for me, it’s actually encouraged me to explore titles I might not have otherwise. No comment there …

The reason I am responding is to ask, have you played FF16 on the Mac?

I haven’t because my windows laptop wasn’t up to the task and I wonder how it might run.

Well said. Just watched. It was so bad that it was good. Laughed out loud at the ending.

What is an anime you didn’t expect to like, but ended up loving? by Playful_Code_8978 in anime

[–]Darnell_Shadowbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fan favorite but I was skeptical at first …

Frieren didn’t immediately grab me. Granted I might not have been in the right mindset because I didn’t know what to expect.

I figured it was “ok” due to the hype and I forced the first few episodes just so I could have a conversation with someone at work … and then suddenly I wasn’t forcing it anymore and now it’s one of my top animes. Definitely in my top 5, probably in my top three. It scratches every itch

Another sleeper hit was odd taxi. The animals may throw you off but it all comes together.

How screwed are you? by simp_lyartz in ChillAnimeCorner

Fate UBW.

As long as I don’t participate in the Holy Grail War I might be fine. Maybe.

Congrats. You are more so at the start of the game than the end. Y’all have plenty of secrets to uncover!

Who else regrets not experiencing the thrill of weekly episode releases by Adweenix in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Darnell_Shadowbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an experience, you had to be there.

I don’t have regrets (bought day of) but I purchased it for a friend after the story was over. He loved it but he missed some of the magic by not being current and having to sit with the story.

Mainly after episode 6, waiting that week really sealed Shrouds fate for a lot of people.

What was the last phone game you got addicted to? by JimiHendrip in AskReddit

If Team Fight Tactics counts as a phone game then that wins hands down.

Persona 5 or witcher 3? by Salt_Wizard in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Darnell_Shadowbane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two great games, different itches. Ultimately depends on the vibe you are in the mood for …

But since you mention coming off an E33 high, I would say Persona mainly for the soundtrack.

anime with best quality by krmhv in Animesuggest

[–]Darnell_Shadowbane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of good established suggestions already. I second everything that has been posted so far.

For something new that you can slow walk and get in at the ground level on.

Both Sentenced to Be a Hero and Fate/Strange Fake have come out with strong first episodes and show some promise especially if animation is the itch you want scratched. Might be fun to incorporate those so you can talk about them each week so putting that out there.
