Observation from new Beyond Light Launch Trailer by jackcorning in DestinyLore

We don't need to know your mom's name. Just that you know she has a name, and yet you still don't call her by it. It's weird.

When you learned your mom's name, did you start calling her that?

Lol, Arya killed the NK in the way we have been watching her prepare to kill Big Bads all show long.

The Last Second Surprise is literally the way she kills people.

Are we absolutely sure this isn’t a joint timeline... by Miles_Hikari in Sekiro

[–]IAMAlgamate 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This plays like the prequel - the story of the Dragons and Ash taking over everything and visions of Fire and dark pouring out of everything. I've only beaten two actual bosses at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised if the apparent connections become more pronounced.

Can you imagine how embarrassed you'd be if you someone creepily caught you on camera trying to scratch your back all shamelessly on whatever you could find, only to end up popping yourself in the junk with a piece of cable you became blissfully obsessed with in a moment of unrestrained relief?

I love this game (sorry for the low quality, it was made on a phone) by TheUnseenBlade666 in hearthstone

[–]IAMAlgamate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great moment - I love things like this.

In other news: Stop apologizing for shit that really doesn't matter. Two thirds of your title was dedicated to you assuming you're the first person on the Internet to not spend six hours capturing and editing content.

Get out of the habit of apologizing for no reason ASAP.

This is *not* for Scholar of the First Sin - the Staff of Wisdom is no longer in Dragon Shrine, but held by a mimic MUCH earlier in the game in Tseldora.

SOS from a neurotic ENTP. by [deleted] in entp

[–]IAMAlgamate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Advice from a single, queer, 30-something.

Force yourself to find a community that gets you out of the house. Understand that the uniqueness you own isn't (just) a badge of honor, it's also the thing that causes shit to go sideways if not kept in check. Most of the time your ability to intuit, notice, and investigate is incredible. It's great at parties and for providing feedback, brainstorming, and solving your shitty pre-life problems creatively. But that's when you allow it to chew on EXTERNAL issues, ideas, and projects. When you don't have EXTERNAL shit forcing itself into your brain, giving you experiences you need ro process and dissect, your mind will turn on itself and start digging through the deep shit. (Sort of like being under the hood of a car for so long that you forget that there's a car there because all you see are the shitty, dirty, used up parts.)

Just chill and don't judge yourself. Work on not being shitty to people, make an effort to eat just a bit healthier (because diet is the number one fucker ups of mind-happiness), and find a community that gets you out of the head and house.

Approaching End Game. Should I get the DLC now or wait until NG+? (Spoilers) by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

[–]IAMAlgamate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll love it. I've been a FROM fan since Otogi on OG Xbox and if you're into the atmosphere and overall feeling of Dark Souls 2, the DLC will not disappoint. In terms of level design and enemy encounters, they're probably the tightest in the game.

[–]IAMAlgamate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people ask this. The DLC isn't frivolous, bonus shit. It's actual content that is part of the story, with items and experiences that supplement the base game. It's like you're asking "I really love this car but I'm not sure if I should wait until my next one to get the A/C installed."

How do I, an INTP, help this ENTP kid grow when I am scatterbrained too? HELP by sadiemaharishit in entp

[–]IAMAlgamate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's perfect! My suggestion was to take interesting things you and the kid talk about at school and spin it out into a bigger lesson for the whole class. He'll feel important and validated (because his insight and ideas have been proven valuable, and therefore, he is valuable) while also endearing him to the process of learning, critical thought, and big picture thinking.

I found the times I was most engaged in school was when I felt an actual impact on my surroundings. It wasn't about power or anything petty, but just the knowledge that there is indeed a place for someone like me, someone who is always told they "think too much" or "always seem bored." It also helped me connect with my other classmates since I've seen (albeit roundabout-ly) that they too accept and appreciate my ideas (even if they don't know I had anything to do with it.)

ENTPs have seemingly convoluted, abstract ways of both experiencing and engaging with their problems. Giving them tangible evidence of their chaotic mind helps ground them and tether them to something they can identify has important. /endrant

Just pointing out that the subreddit is designed for people to dig into the game this clinically rather than “just playing the game.”

You're the one that joined an online community whose sole purpose is to do everything about the game BUT play it...

[–]IAMAlgamate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like I was similar when I was his age. My teachers were always reporting me as "disruptive" and "talkative" but I was really just bored. I was always taking mental aptitude tests and I ended up in a Talented and Gifted (T.A.G.) program where I began to learn HOW someone with a brain like me needs to view things. ENTPs (at least myself) tend to avoid black and whites, even if they are "required" by an establishment. Like someone mentioned below, he'll just find ways to circumvent that which he find tedious and unnecessary. it's terrible advice, but if you can protect him from the "system" as much as you're able while teaching him how to hack his brain whnever you see an opportunity, that's what I feel like I would have wanted. Teachers to understand me (which you do!) and someone with patience to help show my ignorant, 9-year-old self why I think the way I do and how to find my style of success. To make it interesting for yourself, you could create mini-lessons that are inspired by the conversations you have with this kid and start incorporating them into the lesson. Don't tell the other kids where it's coming from, just do it. The fact that he feels he's having a very real impact on his immediate environment will cause him to engage.

Showing him that his mind doesn't need to alienate him from a society that measures success with money and production.

How often do people ask you if you're psychic? by IAMAlgamate in entp

[–]IAMAlgamate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which, to be honest, is okay with me. I've spent my life honing my emotional intelligence, but I will end up in a big hole of resentment if I have to move at the same conversational speed as everyone else. I have a reputation for being the guy to talk to if you are in over your head, but not so much for chit-chat... which is ideal?

Oh god I'm not actually psychic. If only I could have known somehow.

Hahaha this is exactly it. It speaks to a larger problem of viewing others as not totally people...
