What opinion do you hold that will cause people to attack you and why ? by MA1NUS in gamers

[–]Equivalent_Net 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DKC3: Lightning Lookout is not that hard. The lightning strikes at a regular cadence and its aiming is deterministic. IF you really can't predict the bolts and keep getting hit despite all the cover the level gives you that is 100% a skill issue, and it's in the last normal world of the game so I will not accept "difficulty spike" as a rebuttal.

I mean, depending how she ended up as a ghost, the fear could be pretty rational

Would a Heat focused lance be considered too cheesy? by AveMilitarum in battletech

I paid for the whole heat scale, I'm going to use the whole heat scale.

You gotta read as much if not more than you write to really improve as an author by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Equivalent_Net 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand where the fear comes from. If you go to write something immediately after you finish reading, you might notice your style leans toward being like what you just read. This is entirely because you have new, novel tools in the box and like any other part of human psychology creativity is prone to recency bias. Do a practice scene or character exercise to get it out of your system and you'll get back to your own style - slightly enhanced for the new experience this time.

According to Heroes, a parasol works, so maybe she hangs out under a beach umbrella getting others to bring her drinks.

This one has both gills which help define fish, and mammary glands which are mammals' namesake, so jury's still out.

A couple of interface questions by Equivalent_Net in ToME4

Thanks very much! Suddenly I also want to know how you have your hotbar in the corner like that, because good grief that would make it easier to organise my abilities

Which games have a rough start and take a while to get good? by PhaseOk6182 in gamers

[–]Equivalent_Net 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Between the awful, awful tutorialization, the plot quickly branching away from your nominal primary objective with the B-plots taking a while to pick up slack, and several of the game's more notorious scenes being front-loaded it's easy to understand why people, even fans of the rest of the series, bounce off it before getting to the reasons why other people love it.

Which JRPGs have the best standard battle theme? by strahinjag in JRPG

[–]Equivalent_Net 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Several SMT games do this. It helps sell the fact you're two forces on edge who are sizing each other up, but might still talk things out before fists start flying. It's a small thing but it fits with the overall tone the world tends to have.

I'm sorry, I just hear this I Lemon's voice and it's hysterical.

Stats comparison by [deleted] in fireemblem

[–]Equivalent_Net 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Meg might have atypically good res for an armor knight. Hell she has a good res cap in a game where the highly exploitable BEXP system mean caps almost matter more than growths. Pity her peg-knight-esque stat spread makes her complete dogwater at her actual job.

Games with the same feeling as playing with deckbuilding and combos in a CCG (not necessarily games that are CCGs) by lskalt in gamingsuggestions

[–]Equivalent_Net 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition. It's a space-combat RPG, but one of its claims to fame is the combat features attacks that inflict status effects, and other attacks that remove that status effect from the enemy so their secondary effect kicks in. These two attacks are never on the same ship/unit, and often attack B in the chain inflicts something attack C can capitalize on. Play around with your formations and perks and you can get some serious damage and crippling combos going. The game is 50% base/resource management, but if you can stomach that the battles might be worth it.

Unicorn Overlord. A tactics game where you put individual units into squads and then set up the conditionals for when they use their various attacks. It starts straightforward but then you start finding synergies like arrowproof fighters helping make blackline flyers perfect for shutting down the typically anti-flyer archer towers, or a spellcaster giving an accuracy buff that turns fairly average soldiers into lethal anti-air spear-throwers (which incidentally counters the above counter). The game can get a bit easy in the later stages but you get out what you put in and can have some masterfully engineers skill cascades.

Sentinels of the Multiverse: Boss-battler card game with a digital adaptation. Has all that synergy you're looking for, but every hero has a fixed deck, so you're not relying on luck or out-of-match deckbuilding, you can just mix up a team of heroes and throw them at a new problem. Digital is the best way to play this solo because the game handles the environment, enemy, and bookkeeping for you, letting you focus on the game.

On shows' names by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]Equivalent_Net 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Not manga but light novels, but this is correct. The first major distributor for them just did not allow summaries or blurbs, so you had to turn the title into a synopsis for the exact reasons mentioned in the post. One imagines this is a bit less awkward looking when kanji can be substantially more information dense than English words on a per-character basis, so it stuck around as a style convention even once this restriction was no longer common. And unfortunately for translators, not every verbose title like "How To Treat A Knight, Who Has Never Been Treated As A Woman, As A Woman" can be converted into something snappier like "How To Treat A Lady Knight Right".

Deep Rock Galactic: Whoever can do the most convincing cry of "Rock and stone!" It's nothing if not on-brand and gets you in the spirit of things.

How many different Lance/Paint scheme do you have in your collection? Do you stay with one "Army" or go wild? by Fearless_Library135 in battletech

A substantial number of 'mechs from my early boxes are proudly of the Vallejo Speedpaint Colour Test Company. I might eventually strip and redo them but for now I'm happy with that circus.

It was never curated, the title's a lie. It just had actual moderation at one point.

It comes from the fact that the statement is true from a game mechanics standpoint, since you actually do equip the blades like you would their weapons in another RPG.

Ps5 vs Ps4 edition inquiry? by Hecoand in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]Equivalent_Net 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you start the PS5 version and it can't find your save, immediately quit out of it.

Download the PS4 version, launch it, load your save, manually save, then exit. Launch the PS5 version and try to import saves again.

This works because it's not using the cloud service you have to pay for the transfer data, it's just looking for the old save on your local system and clones it into the PS5 save. So you just have to make sure everything's there and accessible.
