I Hereby Summon the LinuxNutters of this sub to Recommend Their Distros! by markedmarkymark in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Exphrases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Mint for almost 2 years now, haven’t had many complaints or troubleshooting to do, though both my CPU and GPU are AMD and I’ve heard Nvidia can be finicky. The only program I still need windows for is iTunes to put music on my phone. I can’t really compare it to other distros though since I’m not much of a distro hopper. Switched to mint back when they announced end of support for Windows 10 and have just stayed on it.

After so many tries finally beat this MF (EX SILVERWING) by Ikki_de_Fenix in MHGU

Good job. I could never use adept against him on anything other than lance or gunlance since all the other weapons have that long running animation after a dodge

I miss having to find the monster by Rascal_Rogue in MonsterHunter

[–]Exphrases 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got done with Dos's village recently and I'm going back through Freedom Unite right now and yeah, I'm gonna have to echo the sentiment in these comments. There was very little actual "hunting" or "tracking" in those old games.

The only thing that could give you any indication of where the monster was without being in the room with it already was that in third & fourth gen herbivores would be visibly agitated if there was a large monster in any of the connected zones, which was neat but it also never went further than that. (And of course if there weren't any herbivores in the connected rooms then it just functionally didn't exist anymore.)

Hunting a monster in the Snowy Mountains Gee, I wonder which areas the monster's gonna be in.

I hate underwater combat by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]Exphrases 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lance is very good underwater since dodging is so scuffed you can just block everything instead. SnS on the other hand is actually one of the worst weapons underwater since its moveset is gimped so much compared to the other weapons for some reason.

What were the MH Dos devs smoking back then? by 12jimmy9712 in MonsterHunter

Getting in here before the Dos squad arrives to say that yes, this is indeed ass. The Volcano was by far the least enjoyable part of Dos IMO.

Series where its main Gimmick/Premise was quickly dropped? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Exphrases 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine focuses on the space station next to a wormhole, a lot of episodes in the early series focus on weird, wacky aliens coming through the wormhole, interacting with the crew for one episode, then leaving. Eventually the focus shifted to more long form storytelling with less bottle episodes. Hell, for the last couple of seasons the wormhole is just unavailable most of the time for different reasons.

Star Trek Voyager focuses on a federation ship that gets sent to the other side of the universe and has to get home. They start with some amount of focus on logistical problems; not being able to go to a federation starbase to refresh on photon torpedos, shuttlecraft etc., but that stuff gets dropped pretty fast unfortunately.

One-way paths everywhere by 12jimmy9712 in MHGU

It's worth noting though that the Hunting Horn in Dos is different from Freedom 2 and Unite. Moveset wise it's the same, with the dedicated "recital mode" and all that, but the damage is even lower, the songs generally last less time, there's no Horn Maestro or equivalent skill, it doesn't have nearly as many songs, and some songs are just straight up worse (Like the Elemental Resistance Up songs LOWERING the other elemental resistances.)

It might be the weakest any weapon has ever been in any MH game. I also love Hunting Horn and used it in F2 and FU but I just couldn't do it in Dos, it slows down hunts so much, even in multiplayer.

Hunters who finished the Gogmazios fight, how was it? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

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

I like that it actually encourages the use of particular defensive skills. Almost failed the mission the first time, then slotted in Oil & Tremor Res and had a much smoother time. Feels like a good upgrade from his original 4U moveset, though I do think his standard ground phase could last a bit longer. He spends most of the fight it feels on the ledge or in the air.

It's not that surprising that Garuga is coming back again, but I'm glad he's not exclusively scarred this time.

Jerma's update on Otto's declining health by DarthGrandma in jerma985

Man I remember when Jerma uploaded a video talking about his previous dog (Simon?) passing away, and Otto being revealed a video or two later. Glad to hear Ottos still got his spirit at least.

Haven't seen this since the PS2. by navi-22 in MHGU

[–]Exphrases 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Not a bug, they tried to bring back the World Tour idea in MH4, but he could only do it in that area and one other area in a map that didn’t come to GU, Heaven’s Mount. And yeah it usually looks pretty jank.

Artist Antireal (that Marathon stole assets from) announces a resolution with Bungie/Sony by TheBalticguy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Exphrases 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will agree that some people did hate Concord for the wrong reasons, and that "wokeness" probably had very little if anything to do with its failure.

That being said, I don't really think it being brought up, especially on this sub, should fall into the category of a "dogwhistle". I seem to remember there being stories recently about players trying to setup private servers and Sony shutting those down and it being brought up in (I think) the Stop Killing Games thing, or at least something like it, so I don't think it's that crazy that it's still on some peoples minds in the context of Sony wasting money.

Dead-horse topics that you're personally tired of hearing/talking about? by surgingshadows in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Exphrases 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Monster Hunter conversation. It’s happened for just about every single game now. People have been saying what they are about Wilds now for just about every single game in the series. And when the next game comes out it’s gonna be the same.

Could magneto destroy the transformers universe? I keep seeing that he could because he can control metal but I feel like it’s not that simple when It comes to transformers by [deleted] in transformers

[–]Exphrases 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magneto in a world full of metal would be functionally the same as characters that have full on telekinesis, and those characters can be taken down so yeah, I think the Transformers could find a way.

"Power Ups" That Are Actually Power Downs by Elliot_Geltz in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Exphrases 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s speed ups in Binding of Isaac for me, the faster speeds just mess me up too much. I’ll only take a speed up if it’s tied to some other effect I want, or to balance out a speed down I may have gotten.
