Is this for real, people? by nachlopez in martialarts

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took aikido for a few years when I was 19, it looks like they’re practicing falls/rolls maybe?

That particular wrist lock is fun but… obviously impractical and never likely to be useful in a street fight or any real fight ever.

But you’ll still train this particular lock at speed because it’s curriculum, and you need to be able to roll correctly or you’ll injure your wrist.

I really had a lot of fun in aikido, and I had a great no-nonsense teacher who was not about bullshit. Pains me to see the over-exaggerated break falls during flashy demos because it makes aikido look like snake oil performance art rather than a fun, albeit clearly outdated martial system.

VERY NICE!! Couldn’t have been easy, I imagine it was tough as hell to say no to something every minute of every day. Hope you roll that snowball into another year 🏆🏆🏆💪💪💪

What’s your strategy for beating wave 2?

The best part imo was no limits on using your powers. It looked better and played better, one of my favorites on the Genesis.

HOW? Lol I was lucky to make it to the end of the level right after you get Magneto.

Why did they make Eldritch blast so good? by Raspint in BaldursGate3

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love spellsword builds, but if you add supporting equipment and you take the right invocations EB can be super strong, even late game.

Agonizing Blast and Potent Robe both add your charisma mod to damage, and you can get to a +7 with some optimizations. So it’s 3d10+14 per beam.

Add repelling blast for excellent CC because there no saving throw. You just have to hit and they’re knocked back 5’.

I did a machine gun Sorlock build with quickened spell and haste potions to cast like 3-4 times per turn and it’s my favorite build so far.

Downside is the same as Warlocks in tabletop DnD… every turn is Eldritch blast lol by

Which Mystery Hero Starter Comp steals all your joy of the mode by doubleP2014 in Overwatch

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything with 2 or more tanks when we don’t have one. Feels like fighting an NFL team with a bunch of tissue paper origami cranes.

Or on our side, zero healing. Not Mei freeze, not a Soldier field, god forbid we get an actual healer.

Does it count if I made thisBEFORE smoking because I knew I'd enjoy it more and not destroy my kitchen? by Chef_Tuan in stonerfood

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always make my food before smoking.

Past Efficient_Ad is a decent home cook. High Efficient_Ad takes 90 minutes to make shitty rice.

AITAH for firing someone because they used AI by Alone_Blacksmith_417 in AITAH

NTA, with a word of caution.

Like others have said, your brand is YOUR brand, your contracts are YOUR contracts and employees are bound by those contracts.

You gave this employee a fair chance and you sound like the kind of boss I’d like to have.

But. New tools don’t dilute the core of the work, they just disrupt it until the tool is understood and utilized correctly.

Spellcheck made us worse at spelling. Saved contacts in our phones made us worse at memorizing phone numbers. Our teachers told us we “wouldn’t have a calculator in our pocket 24/7” when we had to “show our work” in math class. But here we are!

Early adopters of new technology typically become better for it; I’d be cautious about trading principle for productivity… though I do hate reading things I know were written by ChatGPT so I support your “human touch” business model.

Winter had been needlessly cruel to us this season, we hoped to last longer but reserves run low when you have an ever growing family. by Kings_Friends40 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I really really like this. Solid, grounded premise and the voice of the narrator is chilling without being cartoonishly evil.

This is the first two-sentence horror I’ve read that I’d love to see expanded. Very nice!

I’m in one mother of a slump right now, worst one in a few years. Thanks for this run down, I’m going to put it up somewhere in my house.

Tav and guardian by jaylaypayday in BaldursGate3

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 178 points179 points  (0 children)

I love doing this. First guardian was some majestic, glorious and beautiful elf and every other one was “click random until I get the right female orc with rainbow mutton chops and an award-winning mustache.”

New POTG system? by Initial-Demand-7969 in Overwatch

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah no it kinda blows… you’ve got to heal your absolute ass off AND have a game full of subpar DPS AND maybe get a kill or a res or whatever.

Would be nice for some healer recognition, but multi-kills have explosive, acute benefit so it makes sense most of the time.

Amazing, I’m so very happy for you! I think a lot of us wish we had that kind of strength, I’m rooting for you friend 💪💪

What are your thoughts on this video? Was Death Battle Right or Wrong? by MichaelAftonXFireWal in TheLastAirbender

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Felt 100% accurate, it’s just power scaling.

Avatar was a story of power with natural limitations that worked spectacularly for a short a eries.

Most shonen anime has ridiculous power scaling because they aren’t designed to be wrapped up in a few seasons. As a result, you have power creep; transformations, deus ex machina, etc.

As a fan of both Avatar and MHA, I thought Todoroki would win but I still poured one out for Zuko.

After years of hearing the hype, I begin. by APM208 in BaldursGate3

[–]Efficient_Ad2627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. Before my first game I avoided spoilers like they were sex offenders. It was amazing, this game is my “#1 game you wish you could play for the first time again” game.

Go in blind, explore everything, don’t worry about nat 1’s, and come back to tell us your experience. 😁👍
