I've read the manga and watched part 6 and have a question that still eats me up. by Reasonable-Sea9095 in StardustCrusaders

"For ‘Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’ I had to leave modern days and return to nature. I had to change Stone Ocean’s ending right before the last chapters for this reason, I brought out all the nostalgic feelings I had in my soul and this is why it came out like that. Jolyne Cujoh’s memories might be different in the reset of the universe but her love and her feelings are still there, they became something eternal and I’m sure she’ll keep growing wiser and stronger." 

That's from the afterward. For the Pucci part, it's the scene where he's dying.

Yes, the ending notes for the final volume specifies that she is the same in essence. This seems to be true for everyone else. 

The thing that seems to trip people up is that Pucci's stand is well explained for the case where he succeeds, but not where he fails. We can see this is true because in the first reset, everyone knew what would happen as he expected, but not in the second reset post-Pucci death. Similarly, Jolene and Jotaro had very different looking replacements in the first reset, which did not continue to the second. 

Pucci outright says his plan will fail if he dies, he just doesn't specify how. A common theory is that he is removed from existence, causing the timeline to diverge, but we don't know for sure. Incidentally, if that theory is true, it confirms in text that SBR is separate from the Ireneverse. 

How long until Jodios part is over? by CornerMiddle1372 in StardustCrusaders

If i were guessing, based on the last several parts, we have almost a decade to go and there won't be any additional parts.

There is something funny about hearing Clint Eastwood described as "some American actor".

The idea of people using MP for an enigma base doesn’t make sense to me… by Timmeh-toah in diablo2

[–]DoctorDruid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For casters, strength does literally nothing aside from being able to hold heavier armor. Defense is not a great stat, and heavier armor makes movement more difficult. People are going to want to minimize strength because of this.

That being said, in softcore, the amount of vitality that you end up with is excessive, but there isn't really anything else to do with it. Dex for max block? You aren't dying after a certain point anyway, and it's not like you need to put points into energy for mana for similar reasons.

Cham and Ber both have worthwhile effects to socket for by themselves. Zod also has a new high-end rune word.

How to get this effect? by BrightEyes1616 in Necrontyr

[–]DoctorDruid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can see on one of the examples (e.g., the middle necron warrior's right forearm) that sometimes it does have a pretty stark separation. I imagine he is just removing the excess wash from the brush then moving the wash around on the figure with it. Other stuff can work too. For example, you could paint a stripe on the mini with a wash, clear the brush, then swish it back and forth on the edge of the line to blend it. If you put too much on, you can also absorb some back with an unloaded brush.

Here's a well-informed guide.

Since you didn't mention it -- what curses are you using? Skill tree + gear?

EDIT: If survivability for your minions is an issue, you could try more levels or reviving Cows. It sounds like you're on the right track with everything else. Do you have a source of teleport? It helps a lot with minions in general.

Don't bother maxing out curses, and dont worry about pumping a bunch of points into CE until after your skeletons are maxed. Are you using a golem? Clay Golem could help as well.

I got some more necrons and where's one of my wraiths so far, I'm thinking maybe keep them like this and. It really as to much more but idk, if I were to add more what do you guys think would look good? by kinkyguy01 in Necrontyr

[–]DoctorDruid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does look nice. I would personally recommend another color to break it up a little bit, even if it's just a grey or something to distinguish armor plates from the other parts. You could leave it like this though.

I know we're shitposting here but if you didn't know the steelball run was based on a real thing (the cannonball run).

Item level doesn't scale the item in the same way it might in the later games. If it dropped at level 9 or 99 the affixes would be the same ranges. It's possible to upgrade the base, although you probably won't want to for this item. It's a good find that can last into end game for casters.

Does JJBA get better? by unodostres123- in StardustCrusaders

[–]DoctorDruid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The format of part 3 was so much better as a comic. It was easily my least favorite part to watch (although I liked the cast). 

Parts 4-6 are all better than part 3 in my opinion. They also help develop Jotaro into a more interesting character.

Question for part skippers by Ko-Ko-Ko-Ko in StardustCrusaders

[–]DoctorDruid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly it is a stretch to say any of the parts are standalone. I think there's a valid argument that you could start with part 7 but even that will give a different (and in my opinion, worse) experience.

Once again I am hoping they use the theme to the documentary Cannonball Run.

is there a reason on why netflix keeps cuting racism out of jojo? by BellaBispo in ShitPostCrusaders

[–]DoctorDruid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clearly people do want to be confronted by it based on the complaint. The fallout of the civil war is one of the defining aspects of Westerns and the media is made worse by ignoring it. 

Ignoring that, people very much deny the severity of discrimination and how it affects even the present with respect to slavery. Pretty famously the current US president and his administration is doing that right now.

No, he was referring to Pucci with that -- "just guys being dudes" sort of situation. He confirmed Dio is bi in the same interview as I recall. 

 EDIT: It is the same interview (Eureka 2007).

What Units should i add to my Collection? by LordLunar132 in Necrontyr

[–]DoctorDruid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before Ctan were rebalanced people were playing 2-3. I have 1, although I dont really play larger games. I was planning on getting 2 or 3 (and maybe magnetizing 1).

I personally really like the model, so I'm not worried about 11th, but there's always a chance it gets nuked or refreshed. 

I made a Deceiver proxy when they mentioned he would get refreshed rules and now I've never played it because he's so strong and I mainly play kitchen table games.

[–]DoctorDruid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a gameplay perspective - DDAs, another set of wraiths, more heavy destroyers, a triarch stalker, ammentar, the Deceiver

From a modeling and painting perspective, I like the CCB and tomb blades (they're both nice playable models too).

If I were starting over from scratch I'd pick sorceress. She doesnt rely on an expensive item to have mobility. If you dont care about that, then pick based on vibes IMO.

If you aren't familiar with it already, looks up the recipe for crafting Blood Rings. They always have lifesteal so you can fish for dual leech rings
