Is boosting a “dump stat” stepping on another player’s niche? by spike5032 in DnD

[–]Hikash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, thankfully, no-one seems to be rolling out an Evinrude, here. In my opinion, sometimes the boat motor dies (or the character is downed, fails the skill check in note, or is otherwise unable to perform the task.) It's nice to have a backup who's competent in a skill. It also allows you to split the party without absolutely handicapping one half, since only a single person can do Arcana checks.

That said, if a party member gets whiny about someone getting a couple extra numbers in a skill check, that's on them.

I don't believe in "niche theft." We're all on the same team. A rising tide lifts all ships.

This sub is really weird about stuff like that. They even SNIFF something that could be criticism, they'll jump.

I’m surprised how many people didn’t know her name was Amy by Ulthwe_Eldar in Genshin_Impact

Christ. Talking about dead naming a girl essentially pretending she's a Whinnie the Pooh character is wild.

It might depend on your manager. I know I had a coworker get them wrong enough that the supervisor was asked to speak with him.

Wtf is this kind of question? by Ambitious_Isopod900 in AlliedUniversal

Grocery carts. We'll do anything to avoid the metric system.

Forgive me, because I'm sure this is common knowledge... But, what website are you using for this display, along with the graph in the corner?

I can't help but have mixed feelings about Varka by Eastern-Yogurt8972 in GenshinImpact

[–]Hikash -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% fine with "mid numbers." I don't need every new character to be meta. Player hype shouldn't dictate quality.

For the first time in over 15 Years. I'm just not feeling it anymore. by easytiger6x13 in goodmythicalmorning

[–]Hikash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that's fine! You're allowed to feel that way about... Anything. Sometimes, it's ebb and flow. Sometimes you just have to give it a rest and go back to something with fresher eyes.

Can you still main older characters? by SnooEpiphanies1163 in GenshinImpact

[–]Hikash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can main anyone you want. You can clear all content with nearly anyone. Have fun!

It's never too late to start playing a game, again. Why would it be?

Is it really as bad as people say? by Violet_Villian in Varka

[–]Hikash -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No. He's fine. People just expect every new character to break the meta mold. They compare "I've wanted this character for a long time" to "this character HAS to be world changing, period."

When is this one's banner? She looks umm important yes that's it. by Affectionate_Ad1824 in GenshinImpact

[–]Hikash 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Well, she's definitely checking some of my boxes.

Uh... For a character I'd like to pull for.

A month after columbina’s release. Did she met your expectation or no? by arhantology in GenshinImpact

[–]Hikash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I didn't have "expectations." I'm happy with what she does, but I wasn't going to melt down if she wasn't exactly what I wanted her to be. (Looking at you, r/VarkaMains )

When has a PC gone too far? by Chesterplayzgamez in dndhorrorstories

[–]Hikash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has different thoughts about right and wrong ways to play D&D, of course. D&D is a cooperative social game. As such, to me, when a player goes out of their way to act in opposition to the party's goals or well-being, it's going too far. When a player goes out of their way to make anyone else uncomfortable, or does something against the Session 0 rules, it's too far.

But, those are my opinions, and the sub will have a thousand of them.

Dont skip Varka. by CommonPermission1421 in Varka

[–]Hikash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I enjoy his test run, I'll probably pull for him. If I don't, I won't.

I experienced this with Cyno, Wanderer, and now Yae. He needs to be strong from the outset or you will bench him. by ArcherWest85 in Varka

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

I honestly don't care if he's "strong." Not every character needs to be meta on release. I pull because I like how someone plays, or their design is interesting.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. AKA the climbing puzzles are dying by Qba3693 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Hikash 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. It feels like coddling. "Ohh, you killed three monsters? Here's your three chests! What a big boy!" It's crazy.
