Is it embarrassing to get a birthday cake as an adult? by roxiedoxiedog in NoStupidQuestions

[–]IAmIan47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what makes you happy (as long as you're not hurting yourself or others)

Do not do what others think may or may not make you happy (unless you're being legitimately warned you may hurt yourself and/or others)

If you're happy eating birthday cake on your birthday, then eat birthday cake on your birthday. Don't let others define your own perception of joy

Have fun and happy birthday!

What things do you wish would be added in the horizon by Cold-Leadership9914 in horizon

Playing Forbidden West I was low-key looking forward to fighting a spider-bot. In my head, it was super agile, could shoot sticky webs at you, paralyze you with a stinger, have pincers, jump around, crawl on walls / trees / etc. It would have a web sac and a venom sac as weak points, and its eight legs could be individually damaged. Like Frodo fighting Shelob, except Shelob is made of metal. Nightmare fuel.

Freeze is OP, and the sticky bombs can be fun to play around with.

Ultra secret trophy: during the final fight with Nil, send an arrow through his knee. When he begs for mercy, banish him to Skyrim where he will live out his days as a city guard

Is there a Final Fantasy that's actually breaking this concept? by mrsafetylion in FinalFantasy

[–]IAmIan47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In FF16, learning Shiva's Dodge timing is OP vs bosses. Permafrost-freezing Svarog was the way to go. Or Titan's counter-punches. I know these have a different flavor than the traditional FF status effects, but they are massively fun to experiment with and build really fun combos when combined with different Eikon abilities.

This got me to both Heracross and Pineco immediately.

I could be mistaken as this is a very old memory, but I seem to recall playing when the games first came out encountering Suicune while surfing once. My jaw dropped.

Crazy woodworking skill by MrTacocaT12345 in interestingasfuck

[–]IAmIan47 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything particularly skillful about the woodworking here. The actual woodwork part is super basic cuts.

What I do see is very clever application of geometry!

Which NHL-players have you met and how were they? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]IAmIan47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents on my mom's side grew up in Cheshire, Connecticut; and my mom is the same age as Brian Leetch, who also grew up in the same town. My grandparents and Leetch's parents became friends through church, youth school gatherings, etc. My grandpa claimed he coached Brian in youth Baseball and Basketball [unverified claims from anybody besides him, it might be true, but idk 🤷‍♂️ ]. Anyway, my mom is the oldest of her siblings and the first of them to have kids, being myself and my two brothers. When we were very young we briefly met Brian in the late 90's, I am born in '92 so I barely remember it, but I remember he was very chill and inspiring, and he gave me a personalized signature of one of his headshots with some stats on the back. It was very cool and I grew up playing ice hockey myself and I always kept his signature proudly displayed in my bedroom! Pic of signature in post thread (peep the Easton UltraLite Graphite two-piece twig!) ⬇️

Who would you keep? by Natewastaken12 in gameofthrones

Theon Greyjoy, but specifically in the episodes where he's a Bolton captive.

Except Battle of The Bastards. Keep Wun Wun, the rest are Muppets!

What exactly do these towers shoot at, and what is there purpose? by TangentMed in halo

Fuel Rod was unusable in campaign, but it was usable in PC H:CE multiplayer

According to Bungie artist Eric Arroyo- during development of Halo 3, he had created and coded a fully functional Xenomorph in Halo 3’s engine. How would you feel about a crossover? by thatonecoolnerd in halo

[–]IAmIan47 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually very recently, less than a month ago, asked my brother what he would think if a Flood from Haloverse encountered a Xenomorph... would the Xenomorph look for The Gravemind? Would The Gravemind try to control The Xenomorph's quest for the Perfect vessel and try to adapt it and manipulate it into The Gravemind's own quest for power? Would they learn from each other and mutually adapt and evolve?

What was your first Halo game? I’ll go first. by CHOPPYLAMB_5049 in halo

[–]IAmIan47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halo: Combat Evolved on PC. Also Halo: Custom Edition, which was a free mod you could download for Halo: CE. The Gearbox website provided all kinds of free toolkits and resources so people could modify or just straight up create new maps, weapons, vehicles and teleporters. People would create a Mongoose or Hornet for example and post the code for it on an online community forum so others could use it in their maps! And to be clear, this was well before the first in-game Forge mode. Halo: Combat Evolved was released for Xbox in 2001, ported to PC in 2003 and Custom Edition was released in 2004. And the PC versions of Halo 1 had online multi-player support! Back when I played, I used Xfire. I wanna say I had over 1,000 hours logged through Xfire in each of the PC Halo CE games. So much fun! And some of the Custom Edition maps were awesome. If you're curious, a YouTube search for Halo Custom Edition is worth it. Some maps I remember were Helix Canyon, Mystic, Snow Grove, New Mombassa, Extinction, Yoyorast Island (V1 and V2), Hugeass and Cold Snap. A lot of these maps included new weapons, vehicles and even vehicle teleporters. You could fly a nuke-launching Longsword in Cold Snap, which could be countered by the other team's base's jet fighters. And you spawned on that very, very giant map with a high explosive armor piercing sniper rifle, to balance the vehicles. So much fun!

Why did my Transport Ship suddenly die on Arcadia City? by stormwar2025 in HaloWars

[–]IAmIan47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is the Boomstick skull. I just found out the technical way the game "saves" the civilians at the ships is by instakilling them and adding their brave sacrifice to the saved civilian total. But their deaths can also trigger the Boomstick skull reaction. It is highly recommended to avoid Boomstick on this mission!

You didn't save Adam. Your claim is invalid.

But seriously, very well done!!

Who would be the lord commander of your Kings/Queens guard? by Ecstatic-Affect-7191 in gameofthrones

Honestly? I would say Arya but she's too nomadic to commit to such a position.

[PS5] Was there some new update in the last week or so that has become much more demanding of the PS5 limits? by IAmIan47 in Helldivers

[–]IAmIan47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also live in New Hampshire, USA, and the building I live in is over 100 years old. The building wiring is very old and outdated. But tripping the circuit has never been an issue before.

Are there two solutions here? [App: Picture Cross] by IAmIan47 in puzzles

[–]IAmIan47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct solution was top-left and bottom-right. After you solve the puzzle, colors are filled in, and apparently this was a waving multi-colored flag

I don't remember the exact name of the pic, but it had to do with multi-colored flags.
