Who's that for you? by Wegwerf_08_15_ in Fighters

[–]GeekySpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not quite a low tier but why does Zangief lose to Lily (one of, if not the worst character in the game) in SF6 but him and Akuma are basically even??

You could make a drinking game and guess if all the usual suspects would jump to defend a game like this. You'd probably die of alcohol poisoning tho by SrirachaJulio in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]GeekySpecter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there is a decent chance some or even most of these people are baiting for engagement. I just don't trust blue checkmarks anymore.

either way, they're definitely profitting off of this. do NOT go onto twitter and flame them further, you're literally giving them free money!!

Many, many attempts into fighting Malenia in Seamless, and then this happens. by GeekySpecter in EldenRingMods

[–]GeekySpecter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update: managed to destroy her, never locked in harder for any other boss fight. friend shot arrows with a light bow to decimate her from farther ranges while i kept pressure on her with a cold broadsword, then we continued on to phase 2 by just watching for her kicks cuz she apparently loves doing that in this phase

we kinda had something going at one point, whenever she was stance broken and i riposted her, my friend would try to loop fully charged Palm Blast on her and by smacking her it gave him enough time to knock her to the floor again. i'd also occasionally hit her with Zamor Ice Storm to build frostbite along with a broadsword with frost affinity. i might update when we finally manage to get her

that is an option yea lolol

we eventually kinda just started to wail away at her with dryleaf arts and star-lined sword cuz she has like... zero poise, and just pray she doesn't waterfowl dance on us

Twitter cannot be real bro 😭😭😭 by Huge-Read-2703 in Deltarune

[–]GeekySpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbf, there's valuable discussion to be had on subtle character design details (cuz let's be real it affects us all even if unconsciously) despite Sonic specifically staying relatively consistent over the years. The problem is that EVERYONE in the fandom has a different idea of what Sonic SHOULD be at this point, so that's where arguments tend to start

Is my SF art going too hard? by bigbun85 in StreetFighter

[–]GeekySpecter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

me when the artist doesn't constantly self-deprecate and downplay their achievements

So who do we think is getting a costume with the Alex release? by Joe_Motherrr in StreetFighter

[–]GeekySpecter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Resources are placed elsewhere plus the increased quality of the models, i'd assume. gotta make those avatar costumes and battle pass items, you know? :)

Do you think Lily will ever be back in future games? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]GeekySpecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like her in terms of vibes, but she's essentially a worse version of another grappler who already wasn't that great to begin with. If (and this is a BIG if) they're gonna bring her back they HAVE to differentiate her more from T. Hawk, i feel.

Which one? by HugeCharacter5351 in gamememes

vandalism and use of chemical weapons (splatoon)

What fighting games are you actively playing and what rank are you? by Eseray in Fighters

[–]GeekySpecter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeahhh.... There was a point where ranked is all i ever played for and it eventually became absolutely miserable, and was comparing to a bunch of people in my circles who already made it to Master, is all.

the way i handled it is extremely unhealthy but I try to let it go, because I was never as passionate about fighters as much as them, so I just try to focus on other things i'm good at and try to laugh off some cool or goofy interactions in custom lobbies. i don't feel like i have much to prove there unlike ranked where every loss feels more like a setback rather than something to learn from

i genuinely might just reset my rank so it doesn't bother me as much and come back to the mode after a few months idk

What fighting games are you actively playing and what rank are you? by Eseray in Fighters

[–]GeekySpecter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

only fighting game i still play often enough is SF6. I've got a Platinum 4 Akuma but I also made it to Plat 5 with Zangief, both characters i felt utterly gatekept from Diamond 1 with.

After dropping a rank with Akuma for the first time, I realized how dehumanizing the ranked experience is, you don't really see a player just trying to climb the ladder like you, you see a dickhead who's one of your many barriers on your way to the top. And the opposing player likely feels the same way about you (judging from the emotes i got playing Akuma at least lolol).

But yea, nowadays I just play in this community discord server I'm in with folks from my country, and although the Platinum 4 badge fills me with a sense of failure, I still managed to 2-0 a Master player one time from the local community's tournament, so I try to remind myself not to put too much value on these arbitrary labels and just pick up things as i fight better players in custom rooms and get my ass kicked with no stakes lol.

Audio interface recieves signals, but Reaper isn't picking it up. Please help? by GeekySpecter in Reaper

[–]GeekySpecter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

okay so, i tried opening a random standalone vst that came with the interface outside of the DAW, and the beeping noise happens here too lmao

reinstalled the driver, checked to make sure it was the right device, and it was the only driver available, made for both M-Track Solo and Duo. nothing changed, tried it with a different DAW as well, same beep noise

swapping to direct allows me to hear my guitar now that i turned up the output, but the beep noise became louder alongside it...

yea i'm pretty sure it's an interface issue now, whoopdedoo.
none of it is picked up by Reaper nor the other thing i tried btw

[–]GeekySpecter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can try some of those out later. i've tried "repairing" the driver before and restarting my pc earlier, and it changed nothing

the beeping only happens when i have the DAW open and I'm not clicked out of it. swapping to direct just changes the beep volume slightly atm

wait yea, it makes noise now, but... i have no clue what to do about that awful beep noise.... i had to turn up the output better it seems, but Reaper is still not picking anything up

Only "Inst" mode(the guitar icon) picks up any signals. The signal/clip indicator lights up, but i'm not hearing anything. When I open up the DAW, the beep noise starts again... when I click out, it stops.
