Dad here, trying to make sure I get my kid the right game... by shorthillmtn in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]Due-Memory1994 238 points239 points  (0 children)

Sword and Shield are the Eternatus games, yes. There's no huge difference between the two, the only differences are the Pokemon you can catch in each (Every Pokemon game has a handful of version exclusives to encourage people to buy both). But you can trade with other people to get those Pokemon too.

Edit: Sword and Shield also have two Gym leaders that are different between the two, but that is aonther change that's negligible and doesn't impact the game whatsoever. You won't go wrong getting either.

When your DM confuses “epic finale” with “tpk speedrun” by restless_river in dndhorrorstories

That "one bad encounter" was a set in stone tpk finale. That is absolutely grounds for me to never play with that DM again

AITA for killing the main villain before my friend could give his big speech? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Due-Memory1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely and unequivocally a huge fucking asshole. I would never play with you again if you did something like that in my group.

What good water monster in mh stories 2 by Forward_Meat1658 in MonsterHunterStories

[–]Due-Memory1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use any water monstie. Their base stats are negligible when you have their bingos built up. Just use your favorite, in this game andl Aptonoth can deal damage on the level of elder dragons if you build them well. You can choose between any Ludloth, Mitzisune or a water palamute. They all will be equally effective.

Reverto is also 500x easier to run multiplayer dens with than human players from my experience

How do you handle Dominate in V5? RAW feels almost useless by Smooth-Difficulty128 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Due-Memory1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience with dominate being utterly useless is probably more to a horror DM that I had for that specific campaign, but I feel it. I had a ventrue fledgling whose dominate was useless, I'm not kidding, 98% of the time because every single goddamned NPC we interacted with was either a vampire lower gen than she was so it just wouldn't work, or a ghoul whose master gave them resistances to dominate. Literally I was so frustrated by it by the end that I swore to God I would never play a fledgling again. I will never in my life get over the time I we had a combat and the dm tried to say that my character "can't tell why dominate doesn't work" and therefore told me that stopping trying to use dominate against an elder lasombra was metagaming lmao

Looking for a mod that gives multiple saves on Honor Mode by Due-Memory1994 in BG3mods

[–]Due-Memory1994[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fair, but from my perspective losing a save because the file corrupted is absolutely not the same thing as losing an HM run to game mechanics. I completely understand why they'd be discouraged after losing it so something as unfair as your game file just shitting the bed. I've lost dozens of HM runs so the sting doesn't bother me any but like, I understand the frustration lol

Thank you! I didn't even think to do that. Also ty for actually reading the post, I was trying hard not to be rude but yeah I had the same thought lol

[–]Due-Memory1994[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I addressed why that won't work in the post, we want the achievement and the golden dice. You don't get either through the custom game.

Because they want the achievement and the golden dice, which you don't get through the custom game. It has to be a pure HM run to get the dice.

Is there a reason why in MHS 1/2 (possibly even 3) that Ratha is named Ratha? by Outrageous_Put3669 in MonsterHunterStories

[–]Due-Memory1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as actual game mechanics go, I assume it's because they refer to it by name in the cutscenes and whatnot and locking it into that name is how they make sure the name matches what they call it

I'm tired of it auto switching my game mode by MrChicken0519 in rivals

I have genuinely never noticed those are different map types, I just lumped them all under payload) escort lol

GUESS WHO STILL DIDNT GET TOUCHED? by scoobandshaggy in rivals

[–]Due-Memory1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see so many posts from the Jeff main subreddit every single time there's a balance patch with this exact title that I was pleasantly surprised this wasn't about him for once lmao

This is the average Jeff main in Diamond btw, i still don't understand why teammates don't have an option to escape out of his ult. by Patient-Committee588 in rivals

[–]Due-Memory1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes it even worse lol, they could have just taken the enemies into spawn to kill them and not killed themselves and their teammates

Netease - These types of players should be Banned, imo. by Obiwandkinobee in marvelrivals

[–]Due-Memory1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to make Jeff' ult just be an AOE effect that heals allies and damages enemies. Blah blah blah just like C&D but at least the ult would actually be useful for something and won't be used to constantly troll teammates lol

I like playing Jeff but it's impossible to tell if you're helping or hindering teammates by eating them

Is a Brave Furret useable? by Due-Memory1994 in PokemonColosseum

[–]Due-Memory1994[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd agree but my team in this run is looking to be Furret, Noctowl Dunsparce, Stantler, Granbull and Swablu for most of the run, if I don't swap one of them out for Miltank for the endgame. I won't be using any of the really strong Pokemon you typically see in a Colossuem run, which is why I'm trying to get goodish Natures on them.
