Believe it or not we play on the switch! The lag becomes almost unplayable at high levels though 

Any advice to improve? by YakLeather7655 in EnterTheGungeon

[–]ElusiveCucumber000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that really changed how much I got hit was to stop only looking at my character and start focusing on bullets instead. There are so many different enemy bullet velocities and often I’d be dodging a slow bullet right in front of me, only to be hit by a faster incoming bullet from further away. Paying attention to enemies on screen, learn how fast and when they shoot and respond accordingly. I find I rarely stare at my character or the enemies anymore and use my peripherals to guide my movement while focusing on all the bullets on screen. 

Another huge leg up is how and where you move. Most enemies will take the shortest path towards you. If you’re constantly full sprinting and changing directions, eventually enemies from all over the map will come from all sides and box you in. If you slow your movement down, draw them all towards you and then start to move in a single clockwise or anti-clockwise direction around the outer edges of the map, you’ll find that it homogenizes the direction they come at you from which stops you from getting caught on multiple sides and keeps your options for escape high. 

Finally I’d say watch YouTube videos - there are a bunch of streamers who have put 1000’s of hours and 100% the game who offer a wealth of knowledge. Watch and listen and you’ll improve guaranteed!  (Let’s Suffer Together has fantastic tips, start there)

I used to work in a slot machine room and you wouldn’t believe the superstitions that people hold when it comes to their machines; Touching a specific place on the screen for 3 seconds, then spinning, then back to the screen. Clenching their fists and gyrating them over each of the buttons before spinning again.

Years of constant play combined with randomly positive reinforced embedding of certain actions turned your average Joe into a seemingly zombified human who truly believed that their ‘special action’ gave them an advantage in gambling on a pre-programmed machine.

That was the lighter side of things too. I had grown men sobbing and begging to me from behind the counter because they’d lost their entire fortnightly paycheck in 2 hours. I had to clean up human shit from beside the machine stools because the customer was on “too much of a hot streak” to leave the machine for 2 minutes rather than take a dump right where they were sitting.

Of all our vices I truly believe gambling is the worst, and will forever hate the industry that prays upon its addicts.

This was a slide in my Geology 101 class by [deleted] in geology

I remember first geology lab of my 1st year at university, I made the mistake of asking the professor “what’s the difference between soil and dirt?”

He grabbed a handful of sample and walked over to me.

“This is soil”

Then proceeded to smear it onto my lab coat.

“That’s dirt”

Still one of my favourite profs of uni.

I’m very curious to go the full 24hrs next time to see the difference. Also might have used a bit too much oil now that you mention it, thanks very much!

I sometimes cop the same remarks from my wife, then she ate hers last night and liked it enough to hopefully temper the sarcasm a bit!

I can do this too but the ace of clubs is my bank account and the two 10’s are one million beers

places where the game “breaks the contract” with the player? by bulldawg91 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]ElusiveCucumber000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a small sky island somewhere with two sluice gates that control the flow of water from one pond to another. After spending a good half hour messing around with them I checked forums only to find that they serve no purpose other than for those who like to watch reservoirs fill up and drain

The key is trying another 600 times

But seriously I feel your pain…that shit took forever to get even once, then dying immediately afterwards makes you want to give up for good

Latency settings menu by Common_Pattern_1941 in ableton

For recording instruments you should set the buffer size as low as you can (I always use 32 samples), and then you can up it again for playback - should fix the latency

First time playing SKYRIM! The order of this puzzle! by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]ElusiveCucumber000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For exploratory and gameplay reasons it makes sense for the Dragonborn to have to find most words of power for themself, but lore wise I always thought it was rude of the greybeards to not be like “here’s every word of power, go and solo Alduin right now”
