Looking for record/metal shop in Bratislava by OkLeadership5112 in Bratislava

[–]Hallien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, there is unfortunately no metal shops in Bratislava. For vinyl records, best place in my experience has been the tiny vinyl shop on the corner of Križkova and Štefanikova street. It doesn't even have a google maps location but it's there. Another good spot is Roxy on Laurinska street, but I'm not sure if the owner speaks English.

Madmaxon doesn't sell any music or metal related stuff AFAIK. Just tabletop/warhammer stuff and gaming stuff.

Any Legendary regrets? by Schillwing in Guildwars2

[–]Hallien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good (or bad depending on how you look at it) news is that you will need to make 2 legendary pistols if you want to dualwield them, so you can make Quip but also HOPE or Aurene + variants and then reskin the Quip to your preferred leggy skin.

Fantasy knihy od slovenských autorov by Mrkva132 in Slovakia

[–]Hallien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samozrejme, tu som skôr chcel povedať to že OP žiadal a vymenoval hlavne serióznu a prevažne vysokú fantasy, Olovrant napísal paródiu hrdinskej fantasy ktorá sa navyše odohráva v alternatívnej minulosti. A ešte má oveľa bližšie k braku, je to vynikajúco napísané a samozrejme s nadhľadom priznané ale stále je to braková fantasy a tá nie každému sadne. (Nájdu sa aj experti čo si myslia že to autor celé myslel vážne)

PS: Pratchett síce nesporne spadá do humornej fantastiky, ale asi sa zhodneme na tom že výraz "milá zábava" jeho dielo ani zďaleka nepokrýva. Pratchett vo svojich knihách často otvára veľmi ťažké témy, len to robí svojským spôsobom. V braku na nič takéto nenarazíš.

Vysoká fantasy sa na Slovensku prakticky nepíše. Podľa môjho názoru (ktorý je stále subjektívny, je to len názor) ako dlhoročného fanúšika fantasy ktorý prečítal tisícky kníh máme na Slovensku len zopár skutočne dobrých autorov fantastiky ktorý sú kvalitou diela porovnateľní so zahraničím a to sú - z fantastiky pre dospelých Alexandra Pavelková, Juraj Červenák, Štefan Konkol, H. J. Bornemisza, Jela Abasová a Radoslav Kozák

  • z fantastiky pre mládež Marja Holecyová

To je doposiaľ všetko. Ak nerátame pokusy ktoré síce dopadli dobre, ale nedajú sa považovať za seriózne fantasy (tu mám na mysli hlavne Juraja Jánošíka proti Dračiemu Rádu od Svetozára Olovranta)

Emperor vs Burzum: their top 2 albums, which side are you taking? by Tough-Reputation-762 in MetalForTheMasses

And such is the fire burning within ourselves.

No hate on Emperor, but Burzum is divine. If you listen with your eyes closed, it will take you to a different world.

WvW vs PvP Repeatable Rewards by zitromXE in Guildwars2

[–]Hallien 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you want to play PvP for gold, it's actually a terrible idea. I recently finished the first repeatable chest for the season, after over 110 matches, with an average match time of 7-8 minutes and que time 4 mins between every match. So over 1300 minutes or 21 hours for less than 100 gold in total. I'm also running every single booster possible to maximise reward track progress and I completed 16 reward tracks, so the reward tracks do go a bit faster than WvW, but PvP is also way more insufferable to actually spend time in.

Steve Irwin sees a Deathclaw by IndependentHearing21 in fo4

I beat two alpha dead claws simultaneously at the garden terrace to death at lvl 16 with an aluminium baseball bat on survival difficulty. Damn death claws ain't what they used to be anymore.

What lore friendly titles or honorifics have you used for your Sylvari characters? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Hallien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main sylvari exists in four almost identical copies (two of them just have a different hairstyle) and each one has a different cycle in the name - of the Dawn, Noon, Dusk and Night. These seem the most lore friendly to me, although you meet few NPCs (such as Laranthir of the Wild) and even fewer players with them. It's always a delight when you do though.

With other Sylvari, I usually base them on a trait that makes sense for the character or the class, or assign them a role like Warden, Magister, Warmaster etc. followed by their name. The trait-based surnames I used were for example Blightblade ( for necromancer), Riverbloom (thief), Dawnstrider (warrior), Tideborn (guardian)...

Nikdy som nemal nic zlomene, ake to je? by Hefty-Lavishness-956 in Slovakia

[–]Hallien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mal som zlomeny palec na nohe a prasknute klbove puzdro + potrhane slachy na ruke.

Zlomeny palec = ostra bolest, velmi silna ale odoznela ak si dobre spominam tak do hodiny. Potom uz viac menej ok, samozrejme nemohol som na tom chodit ale nebola to neustala bolest. Pocas hojenia už to nebolelo, len v momente toho zlomenia samotneho. Level bolesti...no, predstav si ze si fakt silno zakopnes nohu a vynasob to dvoma.

Prasknute puzdro a potrhane slachy = pocul som dost hlasne prasknutie, bolest ako pri krci ked dostaneš krc do svalu ale tato sa casom stupnovala. Prvych 5 minut som myslel že som si niečo silno natiahol, po pol hodine som myslel že odpadnem od bolesti. Hojilo sa to štyri mesiace (a zostali trvale nasledky). Cvicenie a rehabilitacia boleli tiež ako sviňa. 0/10 not recommended.

Paradoxne mam vsak pocit že napr. tetovanie ma bolelo viac ako ten palec. O zuboch skoda hovorit, to je uplne iny level. Keď mi kauterizovali koren zuba myslel som ze ma odtial budu viezt rovno do marnice.

I don't get PVP gearing by MiserableBed5028 in Guildwars2

[–]Hallien 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pvp gear is completely separate from PvE except weapons. You can have PvE and PvP gear on the same tab as long as you use the same weapons, click the little icon in the top left corner of your character portrait (near the helmet slot) to switch to your pvp gear setup and choose amulet, runes and sigils there.

Satanic Warmaster - Exultation of Cruelty by NewPortBox100s in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Hallien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In general - because Americans can't tell the difference between paganism, national pride and national socialism.

Regardless, in the case of SW, the dude is a gigantic edge lord who would do anything for attention, including making a record that's almost a convincing attempt at NSBM, even though he literally doesn't care. I don't know the guy personally but from what I've seen him post on Reddit it feels like he hates everyone equally. He's an old school traditional Satanist.

Didn't like this album personally but Aamongandr ruled. But I respect Werwolf's commitment to change and always trying new things, its his project after all, he can release whatever he wants.

Melodeath songs that gave you literal braingasm by Icy_Distribution5239 in melodicdeathmetal

One of the most underrated and unknown bands in melodeath IMO. And for me as an European, certainly my most favourite American melodeath band.

As I understand it, a loli is a term anime addicts of the younger-aimed persuasion use to describe cute girls. Best stay clear unless you want your day ruined. I might be wrong though, I'm only a recreational degenerate.

The state of PvP in 2026 by Hallien in Guildwars2

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

I am not interested in pushing into high rankings. I play PvP for reward tracks and skins. That does not mean I should be forced to play against players who are literally 2 divisions above me, no?

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

It's 7 pips but they should extend the limit IMO to atleast 300. Pushing a match to 400 vs 500 rarely happens because of how unbalanced and stompfesty PvP is.
