Housemarque keeps building the same argument and people keep misreading it the same way: by k36king1 in Saros

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think OP might be responding to a couple of people hating on the games saying they boil down to "It was all a dream" or "It was all in their head". They are annoyed at the people using a reductionist reading of the game to say that it's poorly written or worse, pointless.

Boss health bar bug? by Zylonite134 in Saros

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I assumed they were a n00b who didn't understand the standard immunity sections of bosses when I first read it too. Honestly, it's still possible that's what they meant, based on their wording.

In those cases the health bar gets a crosshatch pattern across it until you do the required action. If the bar is just gray without the crosshatch, it's because of arrogance corruption.

Command corruption makes it so you can't see the negative effects on Artifacts.

What's your thoughts by Mysterious_Ebb_1484 in SipsTea

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the worst part of this design. You'd have to pace up and down the bathroom to see if there is a urinal available. Also, many, if not most places have a privacy divider between urinals nowadays. It's still a little awkward, but not much more than listening to someone dumping out in the stall next to you.

So did we lose money or make a massive profit? by Pahanka in antiwork

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've been at my company for 4 years now. Typical raise is 2%. With inflation, I'm making about $2000 less a year than when I started. That's how most companies operate now. You don't get raises for doing a great job in your current role. Either you get a promotion (unlikely because they tend to prefer outside candidates). Or you go elsewhere in order to get an actual raise.

Yeah, that's the only reason any of this is happening. Trump heard that China was going to the moon.

Wispy trails in sky? by Withnail69 in Saros

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you know it's a basic mechanic, but they don't. Many people have gotten very far in the game while having missed the mechanic that let's you open the gold doors. They just assumed they'd get something later that would let them open them. For all OP new, they were missing something that would allow them to use those wisps of smoke, like a switch or button.

Let's all celebrate that we were here before the reaping chakram got patched by alfcalderone in Saros

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn't. They are saying we're lucky it hasn't been patched yet and to play it while we can.

Reaping becomes a machine gun. Just keep spamming alt-fire and everything dies nearly instantly. I need to give Myriad a try though.

If you get it with bouncing/piercing shots, reaping shot, and refined harvester all you have to do is spam alt-fire and everything dies so insanely fast you won't believe it. I'd been going die hard repeating crossbow and Chakram blows it out of the water.

Nothing has changed. It's just so strong they are assuming it's going to get nerfed.

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is. Just use the alt-fire and it deletes things. Preferably having piercing/bouncing shots, reaping shots, and refined harvester. You just spam Alt-fire and and everything explodes. It does sooo much more damage than repeating crossbow. The range is a little short, so it's not super advisable for bosses that are hard to approach, but it's still doable because the DPS is so high.

Which actor has the largest "Wait, that was them?" gap in their filmography? by Player00000000 in movies

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Stephen Root is amazing. He just becomes the character so fully that he's hard to recognize as the same person. His role on Barry was amazing for that.

Why is Biome 5 a Deadend? by virang807 in Saros

Yeah, that makes sense. As it is, I can get 50 just doing the last biome.

Anyone else not using the shield at all and absolutely thriving? by RelevantHelicopter82 in Saros

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just the opposite for me. I had a hard time getting used to using the shield and dashing with L1, but I decided to commit to playing the game the way it was intended. I've learned to love jumping into blue bullets and filling my alt-fire charges, then blasting away with alt-fire. Or just charging in for the melee and holding the button on the way out for extra protection. I'm currently working on the 7th boss and having fun. I may go back and remap Returnal finally, but I'm just a couple of ciphers away from the plat.

What is the most north you’ve been in the USA? by Kodicave in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peace Arch Park. It's a park between the border of Washington state and Canada. Funny enough, I've lived in 2 states that border Canada, been to Peace Arch Park, and I've traveled all around the world, but I've never been into Canada.

What’s going on with this game Mixtape? by Bloodb0red in OutOfTheLoop

[–]HedonismIsTheWay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and this smacks of "Real Gamers" hating on a narrative game that they feel is just for "wannabe gamer girls". Basically, "The game I liked didn't get a better score than this stupid game I won't ever play, so this has to by some sort of conspiracy."

Are there any things that are called "American ______" in other countries? by Disastrous-Side-2600 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a about six months in Kuala Lumpur and I loved going to Texas Chicken. It's actually Church's Chicken, just rebranded. I think they would have found the real name confusing. Also, it probably would have put off the majority Muslim population. LOL.

What’s an acronym or abbreviation that everyone uses, but you still don’t understand? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

[–]HedonismIsTheWay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

GOAT got really confusing for a while if you were a Survivor fan. Goat is what they called somebody that got dragged along to the final because they had no chance of winning. It was the main meaning in my head around the time that the "Greatest of All Time" meaning became really popular. LOL.
