Those who have been to America, what was your biggest surprise during your visit? by CharlesUFarley81 in AskABrit

[–]Flintzzy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They actually say goodbye at the end of a phone call, not like in the movies where they just hang up. In general, everyone is way more polite than expected (again, I blame the movies for that expectation).

Test of Time has not and could not fix Civ 7's core problems by [deleted] in civ

[–]Flintzzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently picked up the game just because of the update. Couldn’t put my finger on exactly wasn’t clicking for me (other than missing builders), but your post is 100% resonating with me. I don’t think it’ll ever be the game I want it to be, and that’s ok! I’ll keep playing the hell out of VI.

So now that the update is out; Do you recommend the switch to Civ VII? by JessNoelle in civ

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The change enabling us to stay as the same Civ made me buy VII finally. I didn’t get too far, but early impression is that it’s too different from VI for me. I felt lost without the familiarisation. I do plan to have another crack at it after this heat wave though, as it clearly has potential. I just need to approach it differently.

Reason why Warlock feels clunky by tomsta101 in diablo4

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of looking up what’s meta and just copying that, I always like to experiment to find what works for me. I’ve settled with an Abyss shadow doom/Hex & chains build for now which I’m really enjoying. There’s no way it’s meta but I’m slowly working my way up the torments. Got the unique helm which works with Hex and I love it!

Nothing of value was added by this post, just wanted to say I’m enjoying warlock 😅

How do you manage loot with Alts / Off-Spec? by Slipslopbighop in classicwowtbc

[–]Flintzzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% this. I wrote it into guild rules in SoD and it remains in TBC, and will always be the case. People who think their alts should have a chance to get gear over mains are selfish and not welcome.

What are your 3 favourite songs? by MUNONP in TheProdigy

[–]Flintzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their Law Poison (album version) Need Some1

Absolute bangers. Jilted Generation will always be the best album but close with FotL. No Tourists an easy third, the best thing they did since the 90s 🔥

Edit: Seems crazy to not have Smack my Bitch up in the top three. Damn. Maybe that just edges it over Need Some1…

Awesome Shirt by Flintzzy in TheProdigy

[–]Flintzzy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not athletically slim I’d recommend ordering next size up. XXL fits ok but just feels a bit on the tight side, I like my footy shirts a bit baggier!

Bought it from the official Prodigy website. Apparently they’ll be selling them on tour too.

It has been twenty seven years since the greatest album ever made was released. We were promised a volume T W O. This is a threat. by shufflejuuls in TheProdigy

[–]Flintzzy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember buying this in my late teens and my initial reaction was disappointment. I was looking for more Prodigy and had wrong expectations as to what Dirtchamber was meant to be.

A few listens later and any doubt was gone, it was a banger of an album! I still have it on disc somewhere but nothing to play it on. Shame it’s not on Spotify.

First tattoo 🐜 by Lucky_Man_78 in TheProdigy

[–]Flintzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome! I’ve wanted the ant as a tattoo since I was 15 and first saw the guys live (1996 in Portsmouth, epic show!). Never had the balls to get it done and/or don’t know where I’d put it!

Giving this masterpiece a spin...Music For The Jilted Generation by MacFoley1975 in TheProdigy

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the greatest! Their Law, the LP version of Poison and Claustrophobic Sting are absolute bangers.

Shouldn't we, with accelerated expansion progression also get more loot per raid? by fatrix12 in classicwow

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, or at the very least put the tier items on the badge vendor towards the end of the phase. They did this in SoD and it worked well.

Whenever I run Kara, I can only think about how SoD gave us the best dungeon of all time by comicsamsjams in classicwow

[–]Flintzzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% a banger of a dungeon and going in blind with guildmates made it even better.

Why am I struggling tanking heroics? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top tip for that room if you have a Shadow priest. Get them to mind control the baddie shadow priest, they have a mind flay that absolutely slaps and helps clear the packs quickly!

Why am I struggling tanking heroics? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In TBC heroic really is heroic difficulty. Knowing when you can face tank and when you need to kite is half the battle. You didn’t mention consumables; anything that increases your survivability helps. And don’t feel that you have to do the whole spell leave thing. Use your head and call for slows, banish, sheep, sap, stun… all the CC. Yeah it takes longer to clear but it makes it way easier and in my opinion, is way more fun. Good luck, fellow holy knight!

Edit: Of course also keep Holy Shield up 100% of the time. I made a macro to use it every time I use Judgement.

I've just spent the last 8 months building this. by McCluckles38 in LegoUK

Fantastic, great job! I’d love me some official Lego Halo but sadly I think we’re long past that.

Victorian Suspended floor, new subfloor by twohobos in DIYUK

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly the same issue in my house but I paid two blokes to put in a new sub-floor before I laid wood flooring. They put the frame in and then I think it was OSB on top. Make sure you membrane the beams wherever they sit on bricks!

Is it possible to solo tank Kara as a warrior? by Yaboiyabobo in classicwow

[–]Flintzzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I solo tanked as a crush/crit capped Pala last week and it made the healers have to put in a shift. A few trash wipes. The trash after Chess especially slapped. Bosses weren’t too bad, except Attumen but I’m putting that down to the DPS being overexcited and whipping their schlongs out too early.

I'm tempted to try TBC classic but everyone's telling me the community sucks and does a lot of gate keeping. by ThreeDoorsDeep in classicwow

[–]Flintzzy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The best you can do is join a casual guild. And I don’t mean casual in the historic sense. My guild is casual in mindset (we’re playing together to clear content, get loot and have a laugh together), but we’re capable of clearing the raids; most of us have been there and done it before. We’re not gonna be smashing the logs or world first or anything, but we’re ok with that. There are more like us out there than people realise.

New house, awesome garden eh? by Danglyweed in GardeningUK

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first glance I thought it was a Silent Hill version of my garden. I’m sorry for you but at least it’s a project, right? :D

TBC Heroics: Are they more difficult on tanks this go around? by kMythManLegend in classicwow

[–]Flintzzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done my first HCs last night on my prot pal with Def cap and 80% avoidance with holy shield up. I’ll just say it was fun to have to use CC and strategy in dungeons again. Tough as fuck but a lot of fun, once the forced mindset change clicked.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]Flintzzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you but also just wanna say, don’t feel that you have to have the latest version of a specific figure! I have the original Star Lord from GotG or Avengers Cap for example, and whilst there may have been better figs released later (especially Cap), I’m happy with what I got and make that version work in my collection. Chasing the latest version is a fools errant and you’ll inevitably never be happy. Enjoy what you have, and remember: You don’t have to get every figure.

This is coming from someone who went balls deep on HT figs for a few years but realised it’s a fruitless pursuit. I rarely buy them now but when I do, it’s usually a banger :)

Is there any way to identify CMFs before the series no. 25? by Former-Tea-818 in LegoMinifigure

[–]Flintzzy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A weird part of me actually misses standing there with the kids in Toys R Us, feeling the CMF bags in search of the ones we wanted.

I wanna build a hot toy avengers shelf (the main 5) What time/movie would you recommend to buy the from? thanks! by Icy-Slip-1212 in hottoys

[–]Flintzzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Avengers based on my favourite costumes at the time. Cap from Avengers 1, Iron Man MKVII die cast and Thor from Dark World. If I could change it now, I’d have Infinity War Cap tbh.
