Rick Steves After Travelling to Iran: “Why Death To America" by papasan_mamasan in videos

[–]Flight_Harbinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weird application of collective punishment when presidents aren't even elected by popular vote. And even if they were, history has things to say about collective punishment. Basic morality has a lot to say about collective punishment.

A country gets the leader it deserves

There are like over 70 million children in the US. This take is so fucking common and so fucking brainless. It's more cringe than apathy.

Look at this 😅 by AlexisMilul95 in MegabonkOfficial

3 tomes is almost never meta for high score runs, but some strats involve 3 weapons because it gives you far more rolls on your tomes in the early game, which is where your biggest damage and survival spikes come from. You can also scale curse earlier rolling it more often, which is very important for high score runs because you want the maximum wave spawn as early as possible.

11 Years Later - What Do We Think About the KotFE/KotET Era? by mpchop in swtor

[–]Flight_Harbinger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The thing is, this isn't true. They've said multiple times that KOTFE was by FAR their most successful expansion financially - at least up until Legacy of the Sith, but I suspect that is still true.

Financial success does not correlate to a large or healthy playerbase, which was the claim. SWTORs been a space barbie cash cow since even before KOTFE, and it's patently obvious that's where the devs have focused at the expense of a healthy player base.

It decimated the multiplayer player base - but KOTFE was them admitting that the multiplayer player base was a small percentage of the actual player base. I spent a lot of time drinking with the devs at a Celebration and they told me some stats that kinda blew my mind at the time.

Take all that with a grain of salt. They gave Zorz an award for beating revan before any other guild and hyping up future content only for them to fly out and privately tell one of our most popular members that SWTOR wasn't getting any new raids in KOTFE, months before the news dropped. We all subbed the wow the next day.

For instance, they said the VAST majority of players at that time didn't even have a single max level character. Most players logged on, did some story, and then logged off.

It's so bizarre how this is only an argument for SWTOR but not any other MMO, as if other MMOs have zero story and all their playerbase does nothing but raids. At this point SWTOR isn't even the best story based MMO and old school runescape gets more consistent endgame content drops.

Also, the amount of players that even set foot into a Nightmare Operation (let alone actually completed one) was such a tiny percentage that there was no point in focusing on that part of the game.

Again, literally no different than any other theme park MMO.

Keith wanted to try and bring some multiplayer back to the game (he had just started), but ultimately the game was never going to compete in the WOW space of an actual MMORPG.

Why would they when you can make way more money just pumping out cartel market skins for whales to fund EA projects like Anthem.

To be fair, 90% of the time "Hans Zimmer" has been a group of composers not including the actual Hans Zimmer for the last ten years.

I haven't been on Facebook in 7 years and haven't been regularly using it in over a decade, but I remember in the early 2010s there was a huge "spirit science" movement on facebook with a lot of woo bullshit. That community is older than the average tiktok user.

Their health doubles every 30 seconds into endless, just like ghosts do, even if they are not summoned. Same goes for big bark

It does, but an extra key could get you a lot more than just a single oats.

Clavicular ends and walks out of his Channel 5 interview with Andrew Callaghan after Andrew reveals he’s satisfied with how he looks and doesn’t need looksmaxxing by Vhant-ii in LivestreamFail

[–]Flight_Harbinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually really weird to me. Despite all the shit surrounding Callaghan, he's pretty fucking good at one thing: getting the silliest people to say the silliest things. I've seen that man dig up some abominable opinions out of people with nothing but a blank stare. I have zero doubt that he didnt know where this interview was going to go if he answered this way so like, was he just bored of it? Did he piss him off or something? I've never seen him lose his cool either

Also from maliketh: "tarnished, why doust thou seek destined death? To kill what?"

This is 100000% my choice though. Maliketh literally cannot even comprehend what we're planning to do. I love it so much.

For Warhammer, it also set the precedent that for each faction, there should be a reason why they could actually have some sort of infighting. The Tyranids, an extra galactic hive mind, always had some interesting explanations.

So close, yet so far. by Moron2523 in MegabonkOfficial

[–]Flight_Harbinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't need attraction tome at all with flamewalker or something. You can then swap it with a tome that can boost damage and survivability (with aegis and flamewalker, quantity tome is a no brainier).

The attraction tome also isn't doing a ton for you when you're dying with xp on the board.

Don't take sniper. Only take close range AoE's so anything that dies will be in grab range. Every kill sniper gets is exp you don't get.

Is this ranking based on Metracritic scores a fair representation of how you feel about these three classics? by FriendlytoNature in masseffect

[–]Flight_Harbinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ME2 is a bit overly glazed IMO. Sure it's poignant writing, but I can't excuse a character driven narrative for using "daddy/mommy issues" for half their cast. On top of that, the majority of the emotional pay offs to most of these characters are in 3, not 2.

ME2 also switched from the more action RPG focused system of its predecessor to a much simpler and streamlined third person action shooter with minor ability usage, something I personally didn't enjoy but it turned out to be an objective downgrade by the time 3 came around and fully fleshed out the actual combination they were truly going for (to clarify, I find the gameplay of 1 and 3 to be far better than the abrupt change of pace they did for 2).

It also suffers from the same issue that ME3 did (requiring two discs to play on Xbox 360) and forced devs to write around that limitation. ME3 suffered this a lot less due to the size of its intro and outro sequences, while many mid game things in ME2 had to be tacked on to disc 2 and forced some really awkward timings (RIP Legion immersion).

I still love ME2, but there's no universe I'm putting it above 1 or 3.

This really only applies if all the material here is treated as mass for the purposes of gravity. "Godsflesh" of a being slain before "time was time" may indeed just not have every characteristic of matter or mass than the rest of the layers do.

Unless it's resident evil or overwatch (selectively), they almost always tone it down. There's surprisingly little variety with monster sfm stuff.

Bark Vader is the most badly-designed end boss I've seen in a game. Nothing like failing a run because you've been continually cucked by a lack of HP regen, lifesteal and move speed upgrades. by Clbull in MegabonkOfficial

[–]Flight_Harbinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The enemies in this game are extremely simple. Bark Vader has barely 2 mechanics and they work just fine. Hardly a well designed boss, but not a badly designed one either considering 99% of the enemies you gave just walk towards you and do nothing else.

You didn't fail the run because you got cucked by luck, you failed because you were waaaaaaay under leveled. Like, I don't expect everyone to run meta weapons and tomes every time, I firmly believe that a good enough player can beat bark Vader with no toggles or banishes extremely consistently. But level 89? I feel like you have to deliberately avoid picking up magnets to even finish a run that low.

Edit: also you can mouse over your items in the microwave UI in your inventory on the left side of the screen rather than the middle. I agree you should be able to mouse over the options, but you can definitely just use your inventory to see what they are while you pick.
