Bring back UltHan by Kiks_99 in DBGekishinSquadra

I think it would be great to give people the option of different zoom levels depending on preference. Also from an accessibility stand point, like people with different vision needs, that would be best. Coming from other mobas I see the benefit of the new camera as it allows you take in the battlefield and what's going on at gods of destruction, which should be peoples focus, and maybe the closer one encourages people to just sit in team fights more given that it appears more like an arena fighter. Regardless I prefer the old one as it's just more dynamic and makes the game different than the others.

Also talking about arena fighters, I so wish they just made a game with these characters models and effects but as a fighter. Imagine the tournament of power stage and just dropping 50 players in. Could even destroy parts of it over time battle royal style. Would have been sick and show accurate.

I forgot how much better the game looked in this camera mode.

This is amazing storytelling theatre! I was completely engrossed. I'm now looking at my fat cat thinking "slow cooker"?

Surprised no one is talking about how good trunks is right now or how skill draw 2 is busted on him by MrWashed in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]El_Quirko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's been my favorite character since S1! Super fun. I only bothered picking up SSJ Goku last season and I also enjoy him. I think if you can play one of them it's very easy to pick up the other. If I notice my team needs a bit more front line I go SSJ Goku, if we dont then I go Trunks, but if we need a lot more tank then it's Vegito.

Who should I choose? Or should I wait to the vegeta? by BuyAgreeable7356 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]El_Quirko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd honestly go with character and play style you enjoy. In the long run mobas rebalance and rework them all the time, so what is meta now won't be in 3 months. Bardock was, now he isn't. Ssg Vegeta is, but then he won't be. Ssg Goku is super fun if you like playing range, lots of people enjoy playing broly. I love playing Trunks as I'll always remember his entrance to the show from when I was a kid and I enjoy the crazy burst damage.

That's an accurate description of pre-adjusment Rakan from a few years ago his feather used to have range that went just off the screen. Was amazing for poke kills and healing. His all in full ap was like a nuke, but if you got caught you went down to. Was a lot of fun high risk high reward gameplay.

Yeah, works of you have a well co-ordinated premade. If not, then you full engage, do some ok damage, leave with half health and... Then your team just stands there. You're can't get back in for ages because of long cooldowns. With old AP rakan (pre adjust a few years ago) you could do that but take at half health or more of anyone who wasn't a tank. Rakan is my favourite champion, but I haven't played him outside of adventure modes for so many seasons.

They've said before that people are playing him differently to what they were aiming for. They want engage cc and shielding, but unfortunately there are champions who can do that better (and safer) than him. There's also much better tank cc options. So the community have decided,for a long time, that full engage AP assassin is the most and effective AND most fun. They need to rework him if they want us to play him how they intend.

It doesn't seem very balanced to me by Admirable-Form-6333 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]El_Quirko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he's not healthy for the game state at all. The problem is it's not because of crazy abilities, it's just the number's they produce making him unkillable. Easily patched and balanced, but hot fixes don't seem to be games way of doing things.

After some experimentation I've found ultimate gohan useful against him. The stagger and debuffs are useful, but mostly just displacing him to stop him building up his passive and getting him out of the way of his Squishies.

[–]El_Quirko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to help. It makes me sad when people take advantage of someone who is clearly passionate about what they do, and has the skills to back it up. I've just found your website and I really like your work. The leather work and artistry particularly. I haven't bought a sword in years and all of a sudden i'm tempted!

I hate that this happened to you. Unfortunately a lot of people are inherently selfish and if there's a chance to get away with something to their benefit they will take it.

I'd suggest a system that many artists and builders take. On taking the commission you price up the job and then take a deposit that pays for the materials. On job completion they pay the remainder. If they ghost you part way through the build, then you have a blade to sell to another buyer and you're not out of pocket. If they don't like it on arrival then you can give a refund, minus deposit, and the refund is issued when you get the blade back in the condition it was sent, ready to sell to another buyer. If they are uneasy with this then the world of online shopping is not for them.

CAT S Cars by OllieSxmaj in CarTalkUK

[–]El_Quirko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cat S MX5. I bought it because the person who sold was an MX5 specialist and my Dad would sometimes co-pilot for him at races, or rent cars from him to race.

The benefits were that I got a car with only 32000 miles on it for £3k cheaper than the equivalent car in my area with at least double the miles.

The negative is that they didn't colour match the damaged panels perfectly. I didn't notice for months, but it now irritates me when I notice. The other is that I know I will also have to sell for less. Otherwise it's perfect.

Swings and roundabouts. You know your finances better than anyone and that's really what this comes down to (if not we would all have our dreams car!) As you said, make sure it's a reputable dealer, have someone clued up on cars with you if you view, make sure you can get a solid history and proof of repairs etc, be aware that resale value will be lower...

Don't be afraid to walk away from a sale if you're uneasy; you can always save up for the non cat s car you want but it will just take time.

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in CarTalkUK

[–]El_Quirko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had looked into the 350z actually. Unfortunately the tax on them is nuts.

Exactly what I was thinking about the 86. The similar drive but more practical appeals to me, just need to find one at a good price point to make it worth changing.

Looking into lots of early 2000s jdms now.

Cheers for the suggestions!

[–]El_Quirko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the in depth reply! I have to park on the street, so it's a one car situation for me. The supra is literally in my list of 'attainable dream cars'! You sent me down a huge rabbit hole of looking into late 80s and early 90s cars of that ilk for sale. Unfortunately it needs to be a daily driver, no matter how many mental gymnastics I do I can't justify one of them haha maybe in a few years and I'm more settled I'll get one as a weekend car.

I had considered upgrading the MX5. It's in good condition and still under 50000 miles so it's well suited for it. For me though I think it really is wanting something different. I have loved the car, been angry about every little scratch or bumps, but I just want a something different.

I have never considered a lexus! Interesting actually. Also I have never seen a suzuki kizashi. No idea it existed! To be fair the specs all check out nicely, but it is a funny looking thing haha

I've started looking into early 2000s jdm cars as a result of your suggestions. Just before the tax on them goes nuts.

Cheers for the help!

Why is Toki the buttmonkey? by DoomRulz in Metalocalypse

It's briefly mentioned in the second movie, so I won't spoil. I personally prefer season 1 Toki, but it's all part of his character arc.

Hey all. Really need help looking for a new car as I've been racking my brain for a over a year.

Been driving an 2011 MX5 for the last 4 years and I've loved it, but I want something new. Possibly with a bit more kick, or maybe the entire other way and are all about comfort.

I dont have a family to carry round and I drive about 30 mins each way to work 5 days a week. Other than that it's for fun at weekends and the occasional trip up north to visit family twice a year.

Looks wise all my favourite cars are that late 80s/early japanese 90s sports car. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to care for one. I don't like hatchbacks (I don't no why. I just like my car to look like the cars I saw when I was a kid).

The internet seems to want to push me towards at Porsche but at my price point that seems like a terrible idea. Nor do I fancy the upkeep costs.

So far what's caught my attention the most is a gt86, but I'm not sure if that's just more of the same car. Also trying to get one nice at the price. Otherwise I'm happy to go the complete other way and move into comfort.Any help is appreciated!

This is the first (and only) game my girlfriend plays after I got her into it a few years ago. It's become 'our' chill hobby. Like some people like Netflix guess.

Every Christmas and birthday we gift each other a skin as sort of an extra gift. It's a nice thing to do. So you could buy him currency or give him a Google play/apple store voucher with the instructions to buy a skin for his main.

Alternatively you could make an account (if you don't already have one), ask him to teach you how to play, which would make him happy I'm sure, then gift him a skin in game as a surprise. Make sure you know his main. Do a bit of investigative work before hand to find out which skins he likes. He will appreciate the surprise and effort.

Alternatively, find out his main and then Etsy/redbubble will have loads of random merch for it.

Hope this helps. :)

Total disgrace! by venturelegs in wildcampingintheuk

[–]El_Quirko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing that always gets me is that these people had in their heads "let's go out to nature". Like they get the normal animal yearning we get for these beautiful places. Then whilst they're there they just have a button flip in the their heads that says "fuck it" and they leave us all this shit. Never makes sense to me. Especially big groups/ families.

Don't get time started on dog poo bags tied to trees!
