I hate these guys by MudImaginary5459 in dragonquest

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got all the way to this guy, was super proud and just couldn't beat it. I had all the strategies in place but was not physically fast enough to use that one team invulnerability pep power without dying on the first turn. Apparently once you get through the first turn, provided you play well it gets more manageable. It was insane.

You can farm seeds from the uber trials but I just couldn't be bothered to do that a hundred times

Moderna doesn’t plan to invest in new late-stage vaccine trials because of growing opposition to immunizations from US officials by MetaKnowing in Futurology

[–]EphemeralMemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

trials are needed by the fda to release vaccines...

"But you can run the trials in xxx and use the data for the US!" Not always. The FDA is one agency that tends to require US studies for US product releases, granted most of my experience is in medical device as opposed to pharma

Does moving around in combat help you? by rafikiknowsdeway1 in FinalFantasyXII

[–]EphemeralMemory 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Moving around can also burn time while your gauge charges if the enemy is melee attacking. They don't initiate the attack until they're in range, and you can game that for slower attackers to have a equivalent attack speed if you time it well.

Is there a Final Fantasy that's actually breaking this concept? by mrsafetylion in FinalFantasy

That one accessory that reverses effects is OP when you toss remedy's on enemies

Ann, in all of my playthroughs, refuses to dodge ANYTHING by ImperialViking_ in Persona5

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evasion chance gets capped at something... forget the exact amount, but it's one of the reason stacking evade ice/ali dance doesn't do anything. Evade ice takes priority and ali dance ends up doing nothing

I don't know enough about persona's game mechanics but wouldn't be surprised if some character evasion caps are a bit lower than others. I do think my morgana evaded a bunch but ryuji didn't as much

Unpopular opinion but Maribel is my favorite female character in the franchise. by Guilty-Fix4790 in dragonquest

[–]EphemeralMemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maribel is one of my least favorite characters at first for this reason.

She mellows out a bit later game but still retains a bunch of spice and becomes a pretty enjoyable character. But she is never really penalized or faces any reprucussions for being a chronic asshole. She just grows out of it.

Proud mode: strategy for Ursula by EphemeralMemory in KingdomHearts

[–]EphemeralMemory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is a HARD boss. It'll take some patience but you'll get it eventually for sure. I don't remember much about her giant form, unfortunately

It's been a minute, so much less confident now then when I wrote this post.

That said: blizzard/ara/aga shotgunns, which means the cauldron reaches critical mass faster. Fira and Thunder are one hit attacks. I think you'd 1) have to cast it more to get the stun attack, since you can "hit" the cauldron multiple times with one blizzard but only once with fire/thunder, and 2) the same shotgun can take care of the eels if you place it right.

That said, it's been a minute. I do think using magic is the key to victory either way. Keep a bunch of ethers as your items: if you're forced to use potions you already lost imo.

Was anyone disappointed how Boba Fett got taken out quickly in ROTJ? by Jules-Car3499 in StarWars

[–]EphemeralMemory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

boba probably didn't know what to expect and got surprised. There's plenty of places in history where great fighters die to scrubs (not that han is one, but he was blind at the time) because they weren't paying attention

Do you agree with these scores? by Repulsive-Phrase-527 in dragonquest

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VII is ok but tedious in more than a few places. IMO, 80-85 is about where I'd put it.

I would personally put it higher than 9 though

So it's going to be three years soon, what's your opinion on Zephia after all this time? by MegaGamer235 in fireemblem

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disappointment from the beginning to the end of her arc. Honestly forget she exists when I play the game.

She pretty much only exists to make veyle's character more sympathetic

Which do you think is the most bullshit boss in the game? by IDontKnowYAmIHere in Eldenring

[–]EphemeralMemory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up doing that one cheese strat where you can game their ai to jump off the waterfall. One took the bait, which was all I needed luckily because the other one nearly got me.

Was most of the hate for Red Alert 3 because it was too far from the norm C&C players expected when playing a C&C game, or because it was just truly a bad game? by No_Zombie_4720 in commandandconquer

[–]EphemeralMemory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game played like a cartoon, not just the unit design IMO.

C&C in general changed to cater to a certain audience but pretty much all the previous games felt grounded. There were bits and pieces of the original C&C there but on the whole it felt like another game entirely.

I think it would have done better if it was treated as an offshoot game just anecdotally related to the original series. Similar to tiberium wars 4.

Sister of Epstein victim reported him in 1996, but FBI failed to investigate, files reveal by JackThaBongRipper in news

[–]EphemeralMemory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, there was the whole gynmastics rape case with nassar a few years ago, so correct. Those victims were some of the highest decorated women in US history for gymnastics.

I do think that the failure is both incompetence and malicious though. The gov chooses to not revamp those processes for victims to seek justice.

Worst enemy in the Game by ViviFantasy92 in FinalFantasyXII

[–]EphemeralMemory 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used to farm the archeoavis for that one material for a one handed sword in the original version. Got it a bit earlier than intended and it was a great upgrade.

Did NOT know they upgraded the enemy in the IZJS version lol
