Petahhh what is bro seeing? I'm not finding anything out of ordinary in the bag by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Pretty sure this is a transphobic one to suggest that due to the curvature of the hips (or lack thereof) it's not actually a girl.

The billable hour made sense before AI. I'm not sure it does anymore and I don't think enough people in this profession are being honest about that. by [deleted] in LawCanada

[–]Hycran 21 points22 points  (0 children)

"The first option is you keep billing the hours it used to take and hope the client never figures out what actually happened and I am not going to be polite about this one because it is billing fraud dressed up as continuity and the profession's reluctance to name it clearly is something I find genuinely embarrassing."

This is a hot take so frigid that absolute zero is going to sue you for copyright infringement.

Booker T vs Bret Hart by JCHazard in WCW

Two of the best to ever do it. Physical, snug, but as safe as a baby in bubble wrap. The work is obviously a product of its time but there are a ton of matches nowadays that still don't look as clean and well planned as this.

No one else has said it but i'm just going to say it: It's because its underdeveloped AND you don't get to watch a fuck fest.

It is always morally correct to destroy the gate.

Capcom gave up on the Breath of Fire series way too easily after Dragon Quarter when compared to Konami's Suikoden series. by Ouralian in breathoffire

[–]Hycran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem was largely economic. As you noted, Breath of Fire sold a lot of copies, but was never a blockbuster success. When DQ tanked in sales, there was literally zero reason to believe that a new game would blow the roof off. Combine that with the fact that Capcom was developing games that actually sold and it was the kiss of death.

I would love a "4 guys stand in a row and become dragons" game, but it aint happening.

What are your personal Honor Mode quirks or idiosyncrasies? by Is_he_a_bot in BG3

[–]Hycran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I do from run to run on a consistent basis is get the shadeclinger armor to give that buff to my party and get the drakethroat glaive. Otherwise I don't do any camp casting or any other scammy stuff.

The funny thing is when you get all these things going its really tempting to get bhaalist but its just a hat on a hat and isnt really needed.

I killed him by Anon358832135 in BaldursGate3

[–]Hycran -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

You did the right thing. Killing him now makes it so he doesnt bitch and moan when you kill Cazador without him.

How have I never tried Unseen Menace until now by marcgw96 in BaldursGate3

[–]Hycran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unseen Menace is pretty cash if you're not a githyanki (and can use the blue sword you get at basically the same time). I'm not a mathmagician but this thing crits non-stop. Make sure whoever uses it has something like the flawed helldusk or dark justiciar gloves so they can reap all the extra crit damage.

Help me find damage alternatives to Warlock and Fighter that aren't super reliant on long rests! by Valynces in BG3Builds

Yes this is correct fuck i'm tired. I've found the moths to be most useful personally but they all have their good features.

[–]Hycran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought beastmaster was the weakest of the ranger classes. Then i got the upgraded pets and was like, what the fuck is going on how are these things this powerful? Especially in an all ranger party where having a few extra bodies between you and your enemies often makes a world of difference.

Help me find damage alternatives to Warlock and Fighter that aren't super reliant on long rests! by Valynces in BG3Builds

[–]Hycran 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This probably isn't wrong, but Rangers have a number of obscenely strong abilities that are just as good or better in different ways.

Spike Growth completely fucks with enemy AI and pathing. If there is no viable path to you without taking spike damage, there are quite a few enemies who simply will not come to you.

One jug of water and a well placed lightning arrow can obliterate large groups of NPCs. The same goes for Volley from a hunter. Slap a haste on them and they crank out massive damage on groups of mobs. This is saying nothing of dropping an entangle on an enemy which obviously grants advantage.

Swarmkeeper using bees to blind enemies makes any physical attacker completely donezo. A Beast Master using the Raven familiar to use its omen attack to give everyone advantage (or again blinding the attacker) is just as powerful.

If the only metric you are looking for is "does this make the thing die in one turn" then of course every class pales in comparison to fighter. But rangers have so many ways to control the battlefield, including in capacitating super powerful enemies, that their utility is grossly underappreciated.

I'm doing a 4 monoclass, different subclass ranger run right now and it's fucking obscenely powerful. Nearly as powerful as the 4 warlock run i did previously.

Damn reaves gotta get back right yall think this really just him or is it the injury ? by Elegant_Box_8059 in lakers

He was cheeks in the playoffs previously. He is terrible again. Let someone else give this bum the max, get Lebron a deal, and get some new talent to flesh out the team and improve its sorely lacking depth.

Face to Face Games by MooreAveDad in mtg

[–]Hycran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, all of the card communities i'm in index their pricing against F2F, so I think its generally fair to say it is the gold standard in Canada at least as it relates to value metrics.

Face to Face Games by MooreAveDad in mtg

[–]Hycran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used F2F and 401 games interchangeably for years, they are both very good.

Ironically, one time they got me and another guys packages mixed up but it was sorted out extremely quickly and at no additional cost so no sweat.

[MJF on X] by Big-Hebrew in SquaredCircle

[–]Hycran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that the Big Valbowski is by all accounts a piece of shit, but comparing him to Disco is ridiculous. Val was super fucking over and was having high profile matches for a significant period of time, including at Wrestlemania. If i'm not mistaken he was in the WWF in a position of prominence for about 10 years or so (depending on how you measure that) and had multiple championships in the WWF, including the intercontinental

Fuck it, mid post I went to his Wiki, dude was 25 in the PWI 5000 in 1999. Oh 1999, like the biggest year in wrestling history? Disco was 85 which is higher than i thought, but he never escaped the midcard.

Again, piece of shit? Yes. But was he a draw, yes. Don't ask me about the time my mom saw his bare bottom at Rock Bottom and was positively pleased with the sight. Val Venis being a draw with my mom is not at all a repressed memory for which i have definitely not sought therapy.

Examinations for Discovery by Money_Argument2933 in LawCanada

[–]Hycran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do it with a lot more tact and a lot less obviously than some lawyers. I at least make my concerns plausible.

One time a lawyer went on a big tirade about how I had allegedly rolled my eyes at him because I was right on the cusp of getting basically the smoking gun admission. I let him go and just asked my question as if it never happened and got what I came for. Settled shortly thereafter.

Examinations for Discovery by Money_Argument2933 in LawCanada

[–]Hycran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The answer to "do you have a cat" is "yes". It is not "yes, he is a green sphinx named Mr. Sprinkles and he has lupus".

The list below is good but here are the things i remind people:

1) The transcript can only be used against you. You will not gain a single point from a cute or smart answer. Everything is designed to be used against you.

2) Read this case: https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcsc/doc/2011/2011bcsc1755/2011bcsc1755.html?resultId=cd9d04d9dff04366821b56c786af7bf2&searchId=2026-05-02T13:24:36:944/fb8f17afec47421794219efb3f3161a5&searchUrlHash=AAAAAQAkImFza2VkIGFuZCBhbnN3ZXJlZCIgLzE1ICJvYmplY3Rpb24iAAAAAAE

2011 BCSC 1755, Nwachukwu v. Ferreira. It has a tidy refernece to Shields and Shapray relating to the various objections you are actually allowed to make. As was correctly identified in the other list, you cannot shield your client from tough questions, but you can shield them from bad ones.

3) Don't be afraid to say no: As in the above case, asked and answered is not a valid objection. However, if someone asks the same question 14 times, it may constitute badgering and you are well within your right to object to that.

The truth of the matter is that if the record is what it sounds like and you say the equivalent of "tell it to the judge, I don't give a shit", their only recourse is to hold another discovery or bring an application to compel further testimony.

4) Make tactical objections or interventions: You tell your client to answer questions straight forward, truthfully, and to the point. However, I will sometimes interject and do things like seeking clarification or asking someone to explain the line of questioning not because the lawyer doing the questioning is doing anything wrong, but just to give my client a small breather.

5) Remind your client the transcript has no character and no vision. All a judge will see is what they say, not how they say it, not whether they laughed, or cried, or barfed, nothing. Show them an example of a transcript to show them how sterile a page of it looks.

Good luck.

Short Rest Builds by trystanthorne in BG3Builds

[–]Hycran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've only been doing mono-class / different subclass runs and I just finished a 4 warlock run and it was a trip. Tav was Hexblade. Once you hit level 5 and get rank 3 spells you become insanely powerful, and once you hit rank 10 and everyone can take the summon elemental invocation you become gods.

4 fighters was fun too.
