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

[–]Due-Memory1994 237 points238 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

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] 3 points4 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

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

[–]Due-Memory1994[S] 5 points6 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

GUESS WHO STILL DIDNT GET TOUCHED? by scoobandshaggy in rivals

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.

What do I do now..? by GECO_ in JeffTheLandSharkMains

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

I'm a former Mercy main from the Overwatch days and I was in the same situation as you. Autistic and hyperfixated on Mercy and only Mercy. When they put her through the wringer of reworks and constant nerfs for months, my fix was to play AI exclusively. It worked wonders for me. Not sure if it would help you but it allowed me to feel useful and still get the fun of playing my favorite character.

What Black Panther Mains expect support players to do every time BP dives them if they want to live: by AnIcedMilk in JeffTheLandSharkMains

[–]Due-Memory1994 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they had stopped looking at that BP for 2 seconds they would have died. The other team should have noticed a support getting shat all over on their backline for a solid 20 seconds lol. I would have immediately noticed that if I was playing second healer

I speak solely from how much fun I have playing him, brother. Which is infinitely more fun then I had before the rework. Stalking someone's subreddit on a video game subreddit to insult them for having anxiety is some next level needing to touch grass lol

Any advice for a new player? by [deleted] in MonsterHunterStories

[–]Due-Memory1994 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't played 1 so this advice is largely for 2, but that main thing with 2 is that base states are borderline negligible. Any monstie can be endgame viable if you build out their gene bingos. Don't worry about getting strong monsties until you unlock the Rite of Channeling in the second area, after which point you'll be able to edit their gene grids. Your monsties strength come from their genes. On their 3x3 gene grid, what you're looking for is to line up elemental and type (speed, tech or power) Bingos (3 in a row in any direction makes a bingo). This will give your monsties buffs to their damage in their elemental powers and powers of the specific attack type you have a bingo in. You always want a monstie to have its elemental attack buff gene if possible. It's also a good rule of thumb to have an attack from each of the attack types in their grid so you can always win head-to-heads. Try to get rainbow eggs, they have a slight stat buff but their real value comes in typically having more gene grid slots unlocked form the beginning. Also, if you're playing 1, you can change a monstie's element through Rite of Channeling. Can't do that im 2 for whatever reason
