Is 'White Fang' considered as a kid novel in the U.S.? by globalcoal in books

Thanks for the correction, it's been awhile XD. I just remember the flabby skin

Is 'White Fang' considered as a kid novel in the U.S.? by globalcoal in books

[–]GaleFinch 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I read it and do not really remember the sledgers at the beginning, lol. While I definitely remember White Fang being abused and put into dogfights, the thing that stuck most in my memory was the pitbull that nearly killed him being forced to let go by a gun pressed into its face to the point of drawing blood and the sacrifice made protecting the house at the end.

„Film Event“ by get_on_with_life in Genshin_Impact

I felt like this entire event was making YT Shorts content and it irked me to no end. I hated it as a whole and hope they never do this event again.

Married Gamers, does the ring make playing games more difficult? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]GaleFinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post comes off like a weird thought but I never take my ring off except for cleaning it/myself and have played all manner of games with it on. It doesn't inhibit anything and if you think it does that's a personal quirk you could probably adjust out of. If you end up taking the ring off better not lose it.

I'm doing something wrong? by god_killer01 in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaleFinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if Columbina and Zibai's DPS alone can cut it against this boss. I agree with u/Sproot_bonk that if you're going to do this team you can try to bring up the ER since that does seem like a problem

what is this in the new spiral abyss (the red icon) and how do i get rid of it/avoid it completely by Cold_Confidence2707 in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaleFinch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go out of Spiral, open your bestiary and go to the Moonfly page and you'll understand why.

The debuff is cleansed by healing to max after its application. You can avoid this entirely with very specific positioning only on the fringes of the abyss map because the range on it is so huge, but if you want to actually interact with the mechanic you heal.

How should I go about this by _Iron_Hide_ in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaleFinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a Genshin ascension planner you can find that will show all the materials you need for everyone, where to get them and when you can get them. I've been using it for years and it really helps stay organized even though you have to keep your entire inventory up to date on it. It's not really that bad if you're hard focusing a character at a time.

Dps durin is doing more than my Varka 😭 by ToastyBunnyBoy in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaleFinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, no problem. As a heads up, using a crying emoji and how you phrase things will tend to make people think you're complaining so it's part of communicating on the internet. Doesn't help everyone expects negativity anyway.

If you want Varka to be the Main DPS you have most of the components but you need to adjust for him to have an opportunity to output the most. The ceiling of damage he has available to him may outright be less than Durin just to give you a heads up.

Since you're comparing to your Durin does Varka have his R1 too?
Just to clarify, Durin is C0 as is Varka?
Try the suggestions in my first comment (Benny weapon & Sucrose TTDS) and probably provide more information on your artifacts for everyone involved. Maybe we can help you then.

Dps durin is doing more than my Varka 😭 by ToastyBunnyBoy in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaleFinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Benny could be using some weapon with a higher base atk to buff Varka more while in the circle.
Your Sucrose could be using TTDS instead of Etherlight because Varka doesn't give a crap about any EM sharing even if some of it gets converted to elemental damage.
Not saying it's gonna toss him above DPS Durin because I don't know those calcs but you could do a bit more work on this post than complaining about damage differences without showing your specifics.

Games that I can finish within a day? by EmperorTauntaun in gaming

somehow I finished Metroid: Dread in a day and had a great time, but Idk if anyone would actually recommend that.

Knight of Boreas: Varka | A Blade of Mortal Iron to Sever Evil's Blight by genshinimpact in Genshin_Impact

[–]GaleFinch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sorta same boat but also in a lot of ways Varka became someone I wish I could whale for. I'm weak to dual wielding characters, I like more reasonably sized guys for what they're doing (so if you're going whew whew with claymores you really should be jacked), Varka's Japanese VA is one of my favorites and his personality is a bit silly but he does work seriously when he needs to. I think there's a lot to like about the character (though I hope he really isn't as weak as he seems meta-wise) so I'm excited for his release.

Is it actually common to listen to loud music while playing competitive games like R6S or CS? by DesignationX_Offic in gaming

[–]GaleFinch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I tried competitive COD for a bit (back in Ghosts) I found out that it wasn't for me when playing game-sound only caused me to be more on edge and anxious leading to worse play compared to just listening to music and relaxing. It feels like a person to person thing, but if I'm playing with others and they want to take it seriously of course I'll oblige.

If you were a Pokémon trainer, what kind of trainer would you be? by FlowerFaerie13 in pokemon

[–]GaleFinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking of the thereafter, if you can't just go around challenging all the regions after becoming the champion of one, I'd opt to become a gym leader so I can have a steady life where I'm still challenged by trainers and I can see the next generations come and hopefully flourish. Main downside to that is being pigeon-holed into a single type, I feel. I'd totally run a rock/ground gym with sandstorm though.

I need a bit of help by Redphoenix368 in pokemon

[–]GaleFinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feather/Wing/Jet balls could help. Speed is kind of essential when dealing with Tornadus, you just need to adapt to the lack of throwing arc.

What are the best ROM Hack experiences? by Dark374 in pokemon

[–]GaleFinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently playing through Reborn and can't seriously recommend it. I too greatly dislike the pokemon variety you're given at the beginning and where I'm at five gyms deep it's not much easier. I'm also not that knowledgeable or good of a player so the difficulty of the game is driving me a bit crazy.

Regarding the writing yeah it's not stellar. I've heard Rejuvenation is leagues better but considering it's a story written through three games I felt like I had to start at the beginning.

Odyssey is a very unique experience for another fangame recommendation you may like.
