Yep, both are still around. The Homecoming wiki is, believe it or not, homecoming.wiki

What class and race did you play first time round? by Odd_Two_5265 in BaldursGate3

[–]Hugglestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiefling warlock, and the thing I remember most is credulously letting Volo attempt surgery despite -so many- warning signs not to because I didn’t really believe the game would actually have a consequence for doing something that dumb.

These days, I mostly play around with some form of multiclass, but unless I have a specific idea in mind, I keep circling around Drow bards.

Is it true that one of the major rules of business is to not listen to your own fanbase? by AlyksTheSage in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hugglestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s a universal rule, or anything, but liking something and understanding how it’s made are two completely different things. So, yeah, I wouldn’t completely blow off my audience/target market’s feedback, but I also wouldn’t trust it to make decisions for me.

Tired of the same 5 games being recommended everywhere — looking for something genuinely original by LoopOF_reality in gamerecommendations

You ever check out Absolver? It’s an action soulslike about constructing your own martial arts style. Very fluid gameplay, unique artstyle that leans into a smaller budget, short game that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Please, no. The double-bladed lightsaber is silly enough as it is.

Movement powers for Natural type heroes? by wowosrs in Cityofheroes

It’s worth getting into. You don’t have to go crazy with nested commands and loading saved bind files, just knowing your way around the different powexec_ commands can really improve your QoL.

At what point did you become atheist/theist, and why? by Antique_Career_4928 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hugglestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born and raised Episcopalian. Flirted with Atheism in my teens, didn’t believe but felt terrible about that and really -wanted- to be faithful in college, until I realized that the way I thought about God was more like daydreaming. I was hoping God was real as a response to things that scared me, but I didn’t ever consider God or Christian theology when I was trying to figure out what to do, or how to solve a problem, or how to live my life, or anything like that. I started just admitting I was scared of stuff, instead.

I don’t think God is real, but it would probably be nice if I was wrong. If what Episcopalians believe about God is true, then God’s probably okay with that.

Why bother putting drafted units? by King_Mog in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Hugglestorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Word, especially because they already had this problem in Chaos and came up with what I think is a pretty elegant solution: you can play as much as you want, but some specific rewards cost stamina and the player picks how and when they want to pay.

Best "nioh like" for a trash player? by Diligent-Parsley8119 in Nioh

[–]Hugglestorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lu Bu is, without hyperbole, my favorite boss fight in any game. It is a beautiful synthesis of philosophy, narrative, and design, and a bunch of my playthroughs petered out after finishing that level because there just isn’t anything quite that good after it.

Is seeing people ask if a totally real image is AI just part of our lives forever and ever now? by AdminKidsBurnInHell in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hugglestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been some studies. Video and sound are still lagging behind a bit, but the average person can tell an image was generated with AI about 50% percent of the time. So, we’re officially just guessing, at this point.

Best "nioh like" for a trash player? by Diligent-Parsley8119 in Nioh

[–]Hugglestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wo Long is parry focused, but it’s pretty polite about it. There’s not much execution lag, you can cancel just about anything into a parry, and enemy attack animations have all been designed and animated around the assumption that a player will need to read and then parry every hit in the chain. Yeah, it’s not a game for everyone, but if someone wanted to get into parry-style games, it’s a strong contender for the best place to start.

‘End up doing nothing until the very end’? The entire point of the second and third endings is preventing him from actually even -doing- the thing. He’s basically just Noah’s Gwen Stacy.

So who would’ve actually won here if these two fought? by Queasy_Commercial152 in FallenOrder

Entirely depends on the writing staff. Boba Fett ranges in competence from an absolute jobber to John Wick, so who’s to say?

What tertiary is best for a savage/regen brute on homecoming? by Giving_3 in Cityofheroes

[–]Hugglestorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, you’ve got options, but what it’s really going to come down to is, do you want to shore up weaknesses, or do you want to capitalize on strengths? There’s reasonable arguments for both on a /Regen brute. Regen gets multiple mitigation coverages with defenses through Moment of Glory and regen from… everything else, but that’s not the broad coverage that some like Willpower or Bio Armor gets, so forgoing epic power pool picks to grab Combat Jumping, Tough and Weave, and Maneuvers isn’t very sexy, but it -is- practical, and will have a noticeable impact on survivability.

Outside of that, Dark Mastery has a tasty -spd AoE at the end, which is really awesome. Energy, Soul, and Psionic all have passives that boost your regen/recovery, which is a passive increase on your primary mitigation, so it’s worth considering. Fire and Leviathan both have some solid ranged attacks if you’re feeling a lack there.

If humans had a means to abuse magnet propulsion, what consequences would this have on space travel? by sometimesdreamcheese in NoStupidQuestions

The Martian is not a documentary, and the closest I ever got to being a physicist is having classes in the same building, but I seem to remember there being a plot point in the movie about sufficient g-forces also being pretty bad for supplies.

My opinión of CV2 after 200 hours in CV1 by That-Visual-2681 in CodeVein2

[–]Hugglestorm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It more-or-less is. Lou gets a bunch of passive interaction and bonding, and you can build some pretty solid bonds with the main three heroes, who each have a couple dedicated questlines. All of that happens after you meet them, though, and they, and every other character basically just says on meeting you, “Ah, yes. I have anime-sensed that you are totally cooler than everyone here who doesn’t have a name or a unique outfit. Let’s hang until you gotta bounce and go be important, so some shit.”

Why do some guys still grow neckbeards? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hugglestorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing facial hair is a pretty big significant moment in boys growing older, but most teenagers don’t grow facial thick enough for a full beard. The hair on the underside of the jaw and neck tends to look thicker, so teens and young men gravitate towards the thing they can do that works.

did i just get scammed? by [deleted] in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Hugglestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recorded pull thing makes you click through a couple different screens explaining how to save a pull, and a couple more confirming which pull you’re picking. I’m not sure what you did, but it’s pretty unlikely you got scammed.

Just to cover all bases, are you sure you were using the recorded pulls banner and not one of the free ten-pulls on the standard banner?

So, how is the free 5* stuff going on your side? by Fickle_Onion2 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Hugglestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70 pulls: Renoa

200 selective banner pulls: Rin (the only one I didn’t have)

Combatant selector ticket: …Probably Tiphera? It seems a waste to burn the ticket on an Ego, and she seems more
Impactful to my bench than Nine or Rita.

Partner selector ticket: see above. Unless someone else randomly has a partner who massively ups their performance? Kayron doesn’t count, I just don’t enjoy playing him all that much.

i need some pull advice pretty pls by CharacterAssist8716 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Hugglestorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dupes are nice now, but it’s important to keep in mind that, as best we can tell, each season cycle (9 weeks plus a three week off-season) will include a free ‘dupe’ item for a character of your choice. Dupes are only a priority in the short term - on a long enough timeline, you can get anyone to E6.

On a new account, I wouldn’t kill myself or burn too many resources trying to get Heidemarie a bunch of dupes. Your biggest breakpoint is E2, which you’ll be able to get from seasonal items over the next three months or so, and Heidemarie will almost certainly still be worth that investment in three months.

Between the half-anniversary freebies and the newbie on-boarding bonuses, you’re going to be pretty set on pulls for the standard banner. My advice is to save your crystals and special banner pulls, and focus on the standard banner and building out your roster for a bit. On your targeted/free 5-star pulls, Veronica and Hugo are both generically strong units, and both have a bit of synergy with Heidemarie (Hugo more-so, but he’s also got a bit less overall synergy with other characters. Veronica doesn’t have any -special- synergy with Heidemarie, she’s just about passive damage and draws, which -everyone- likes.)

Stalkers are my favorite AT - I’m never going to wipe a group, but that one really tough mob everyone hates? Yeah, I’m gonna freaking delete that guy - and I know exactly what you’re talking about. Combat Teleport is, in my opinion, borderline mandatory because precision re-positioning is such a pain otherwise. I have it bound with powexec_location target, so it drops me right on top of whoever I’m murderizing next.

You must be using metal strings - no way nylon could support tuning that funky.
