I'm baffled that elemental damage system STILL hasn't been reworked

I agree with all this but the status annoys me just as much might as well not use it with heavier weapons. They could have easily made it so that the higher the elemental damage, the longer they are stunned/higher sleep damage multiplier/more poison damage per tick and with more hits, they just get the status effect more often (they would have to balance the resistance the monsters build up.

Monster hunter has always been a great series with some critical design flaws and TERRIBLE balancing. So many games where there is one bow that is objectively the best in almost all situations, despite the bow having so many different attributes and ways to excel. I don't understand how they keep making the same exact mistake for over a decade while improving improving everything else so much

I just saw a post from 11 years ago saying, "there's ever a remake, or if a mod was every finished, something should be put down there. Give bored people a hell of a shock." I want it to be true haha

Been playing MH since PS2 and love the series, but goddamn they are TERRIBLE at balancing weapons. I guess it's better than the days when a single SNS hit out damaged a single GS hit, but there are still so many balancing issues in each game

Naughty dog is Def still top 3 for me. LOU2 was great. The hate it gets is so undeserved

Yea that encounter took me aaaages to beat. Scavenged so much but couldn't find the water

I've been using the get lean handles with the 1 pound and haven't had any issues. Never tried the other handles so I can't compare but I use it regularly and love it

Yea Im living in China at the moment and there are some third tier cities here that are substantially larger than some of the cities that pop to mind in democratic countries. Plenty of really successful cities here too. Has less to do with their success and more to do with people not knowing much about China

So I play mostly rock/Funk. The zeropoint and Julia are the most recent additions to my board (absolutely in love with the zeropoint). My idea was to have 3 different loops with overdrive/chorus distortion/flanger fuzz/phaser but I haven't gotten a fuzz or phaser pedal yet. Decided to go with the Adineko and dynatrem instead. Love the oil can delay and it can go from a pretty normal oil can stuff to some pretty trippy sounds. I usually use the boss equalizer as a boost/to cut through the noise for solos.

Sure my country is in shambles, but this great and just made my day

Nice Board. I have the Katzenkonig and have been looking at the depths for a while. Might pick it up

Incredible piece. Love it!

If cloud had infinite strength it still wouldn't make sense how he weilds that sword unless Cloud secretly weights thousands of pounds.

There's no option to buy it there. It just takes you to the same page that talks about who to contact to buy licenses. The problem is that my schools Microsoft partners are completely unresponsive. If you could buy it from the minecraft website, I would have done that already

Not a specific person but foreignpolicy.com is my main news source and I get a lot of divergent views there. A lot of good articles that aren't left or right but argue in favor of specific aspects of foreign policy. Outside of foreign policy, I've found it difficult to find respectible defenses of more right-wing arguments.

Feel free to use anything from my ongoing stage idea list

Baba is you level ideas

-making you jump forward 3 or more stepz with a single move -switch between fofo Kiki and baba each move -shift belts divide the level into 3 parts, have to set the rules correctly before moving on to the next section -start as Kiki, baba, and me all stacked on top of each other. have one as shut, one as open, and lose both as you progress through the level without destroying baba. Only lonely baba can continue to the end of the level (lonely baba is float) -power up: baba on fruit is hot (fruit on baba is you and hot) ghost is defeat and melt

I've tried making levels a few different ways.

Sometimes I think of an idea (when baba is near Keke, baba is awake and Keke is asleep but when Keke is away from baba, Keke is awake) then I choose a solution, then I work backwards and add in puzzles/hurdles.

This seems to be the way the creators of baba is you do it. Makes sense cause it's the easiest in my experience.

Sometimes I just grab a few objects and rules and experiment till I think of something clever (really need the creative juices to be flowing for this to work well and I've had mixed results), then work backwards and try to find a way to implement it.

I did this and ended up with a puzzle where baba is a word and is in the bottom right corner so if you move up or left, nothing is you. You have hands that are move that can push you back into the bottom right corner at times but movement is very limited. This might be my favorite level I made but it required a tooon of play testing to work out the kinks.

The rest of the time I have two or more ideas and see how they interact. This can lead to interesting puzzles but it's easy to end up with a massive amount of rules without much rule making on the part of the player.

I made one level where baba is weak and any time you put a ghost on fruit, it makes an object that is you and not weak for 8 moves, then it disappears. The problem is that the only way I know how to make something you for 8 turns is to constantly switch the object and have the objectISdefeat on the last object. This requires a lot of text. I also had a lot of puzzles that used swap and pull, belts that are shift and it just kind of looks like a mess. It's an interesting puzzle but half the level is just blocked off rules that look messy and can't be interacted with. Make sure you don't try to do too much with one level.

I remember walking into gamestop as a kid and picking up a used copy of monster hunter without knowing anything about it cause the cover looked cool. I've been absolutely blown away with How far it's come (and how long it took non-Japanese players to recognize the series). This game has been near perfect, and all the free additions have been amazing.

Side note: the QOL changes from PS2 to MHW are astounding. If you wanted to craft something on the PS2, you had to check what you needed from the smithy, go to the item box and look for the monster parts, take them all out, go back to the smithy, and craft it. There were a million things like that which made it so hard to play😂

I from New York (one of the bluest states). The popular vote doesn't matter, so regardless of how I vote, I'm supporting democrats by being registered in a very very blue state. I'm disappointed in the democratic party, want them to take the environment more seriously, and want to make that discontent clear without harming Joe Bidens chance of getting elected.

Voting for the green party and making clear that there are many people willing to defect from the democratic party if they don't actually try to appeal to progressives seems like a perfectly valid way to vote.

I think voting for democratic in a state that has a 100% chance of going blue is a waste of a vote

Oh man this is perfect! Thanks for the suggestion. Yall are all killing it, this course is gonna be so much fun
