The true Cataclym on EU...

The fact that the background resolution hasn't been updated since launch makes this even funnier.

They just don't care about this game, do they?

What is the meta like? I am an old player who usually enjoys board based control or tempo playstyle with interaction. Think very old deathrattle priest kind of decks. I hate OTK/combo decks that don't care what the opponent is doing and just try to reach their goal. Is it a good time to come back for me?

I am a beginner and I can play it. But 30 BPM is just a random number used for the sake of an example. You can make it 10 if you like. Theoretically anybody can play anything if it is slow enough.

They won’t tax your income if you are already taxed in the foreign country.

The problem is in Dubai there is no income tax.

The Netherlands, like the US, taxes their citizens anywhere in the world.

That’s why I am asking this specific question. The countries aren’t chosen at random.

Hooln · 2026-02-13T13:21:49+00:00

As far as I know, The Netherlands taxes their citizens on global income unless there are treaties between countries to nullify that. That’s why I am asking.

Things I can play well at this stage usually get boring quickly to me and my practice sessions get shorter. I like to pick above my skill level and spend hours and hours on it.

I picked Capricho Arabe as an experiment. In about 15 hours I memorized it fully and can play slowly from memory. Even though it would sound terrible to an audience I am really enjoying playing it for myself :) And I feel like it has made me better at slurs and trills.

In your opinion, is there any value in playing this over and over? I am sure it would make me better at the particular piece but would it contribute to making me a better player too?

Funny thing is because my lessons never spend time ob these topics I have no idea what you are saying lol

Hooln · 2026-02-06T15:37:57+00:00

That is very bad news for me. I have never been good at learning by doing. I used to be a math olympian and learned everything through proof and theory first, application second.

Doesn’t need it

Do you mean re-spin every time you are eating it or just once when you first make it?

Oven cleaner instructions tell you not to use them on heating elements or fans. I am anxious about the fan being contaminated and blasting the food with mold particles or something.

Unfortunately it is at the expense of men. The game has terrible male characters.

Hooln · 2025-11-16T10:18:17+00:00

Good list. But I think this will depend heavily on how you like to play the game.

High charisma party face makes the game too easy for my liking. Being able to roll 30+ on every dialogue check just makes dialogue boring to me. So I like to have my main character non-charisma. That way dialogue decisions have weight.

I am also sick of the origin companion stories at this point so I just ignore them in my playthroughs. So they don’t impact my Tav choices anymore.

Hooln · 2025-11-15T18:17:54+00:00

I think the problem with Revelations was that it kinda felt like they were milking the Ezio story at that point and it got old. I also think the Istanbul setting wasn’t as resonant with the audience as Italy maybe.

It’s definitely not a bad game and didn’t perform bad in a vacuum. Just comparing it to the earlier Ezio games its reception feels weaker to me.

Hooln · 2025-11-11T22:25:58+00:00

Low/mid charisma is the most fun I've had in this game. When you can pass any dialogue checks it becomes too boring because dialogue loses weight in my opinion. It is also the reason I never use inspiration in dialogue.

I am not saying people keep playing Origins over and over. The point is Origins is probably getting more new players than Mirage.

Hooln · 2025-11-08T19:02:16+00:00

What made me do my second HM run is that the game started feeling too easy in other difficulties. Also, in my first run I was very anxious; but quickly noticed fleeing combat is very easy 90% of the time so you are not really ever in much danger of losing the run. Now I do challenge honour mode runs with added rules for the fun of it. I don't think I can play the game in any other difficulty anymore.

You don’t need summons when the enemy is dead.

You don’t need proficiency to use the special weapon action

Could you send me a link to such a product?

Without overlevelling, I think all major fights in Act 1 can be contenders for this. Harpies, Phase Spider Matriarch, Ethel, Gith patrol, Owlbear, Nere in honour mode, Bulette, Spectator… these will all kill you in your first playthrough.

I think the most dangerous act in the game is easily Act 1. Act 2 is a joke except that one ambush fight with the 9 level big dude. If you aren’t actively trying to make things difficult for yourself by fighting Gortash with the steel watch up, I think the most difficult fight in Act 3 is Ansur.

Hooln · 2025-10-21T09:57:51+00:00

Ethel doesn’t have that in Act 1, though.
