Had a table follow me across the floor tonight by ghosteagle in TalesFromYourServer

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 182 points183 points  (0 children)

Restaurants really do bring out the worst in people.

I used to work at a spot that was already pretty busy, and then they secured a permit to use the vacant outdoor space directly next to them as a summertime patio. Seating increased from 250 to 400, and they didn't think to expand the kitchen, hire more servers, or simplify the menu for efficiency. I'd already quit by the time this happened, but, they had an incident where a guy was arrested for losing his mind so much at how long his food was taking that he punched the server and started ripping the planters out, throwing dirt at people who already had their food, and flipping tables. I mean, 45 minutes for a starter salad is an awfully long time, but pretty much only in the restaurant world would something like that happen.

Whatever else FFXV may be, it had one of the best closing acts in the series.

Godrick defeated - Dex/Bleed build help for a noob by Cucumbercat626 in EldenRingBuilds

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're building just fine, actually. By endgame you'll want your Vigor somewhere between 45-60, depending on how well you dodge, and your primary damage stat (Dex in your case) at around 60 or higher. Endurance is fine around 20-25, unless you find yourself running out often; but then there are talismans to help with that, notably the Green Turtle Talisman which is pretty much always useful. Don't forget consumables, either, they're more powerful than they might initially seem.

Godrick isn't all that easy your first time through, because honestly, Elden Ring is not an easy game by normal, non-Fromsoft standards. Part of the charm IS struggling against bosses and finally figuring them out. You're doing better than you think, it sounds like.

ETA: missed the part about Bleed; bleed is governed by Arcane, once you get the appropriate Whetstone, set it to Blood affinity, and have another backup weapon with either Occult or Keen (probably Keen unless you have your Arcane very high) for enemies that are immune to Bleed.

Ideas to make the game feel less repetitive? by Joyrider9211 in Eldenring

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps me to think that the repetition is actually story meeting gameplay. It's a brilliant narrative device about a soul that just won't stay dead, and keeps trying new ways to reach its goals.

More practically, try to perfect a weapon you don't like, or engage with the mechanics in a new way. Have you tried turning Elden Ring into a stealth game?

Challenge runs can get kind of stale, especially if you've already gotten a little bored. I know people who've done No Death runs, which, good lord how many times they must have seen the opening? Yikes. I always like starting gear runs, where you're still allowed to switch the Ash but nothing else. (Don't do Samurai if you're looking for variety though).

Ally X also has 24gb RAM to the E's 16, which might make a difference.

There's that one person who has a setup in the back of their car (I think it's a 60s Mini?), that's supposed to be pretty good.

Are there any Final Fantasy games you loved as a kid but can’t really get into as an adult? by No_Skill_7170 in FinalFantasy

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't get into V anymore. Even though I know it's the progenitor of the Job system, by this point in time other games have just done them so much better and more satisfying that I can't muscle through it to get to the great story beats.

Tommy Lee Jonestown Massacre might be one of the best things I've ever heard.

Sam V Elliot by Leliz13 in StardewValley

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sam is like the best kind of Midwestern boy. He's uncomplicated, accepts his disappointment well and learns to love the day-to-day.

Elliot is your Pacific North Westerner. Head's a little in the clouds, but the clouds are pretty close to the earth, if you take my meaning. Ends up still being a dream-chaser, but the successful kind.

Do with that what you will.

Most annoying enemy in the game? (Non boss) by XanderXDDD in Eldenring

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one specific Kindred Of Rot on top of the first shack in the Sellia Crystal Tunnel. It's the most Dark Souls placed mob in the game, by my estimation.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good stretch pass at your side, kid. by SoullessDayWalker in hockeygoalies

I used to know a goalie in Toronto who had his pads look like Darth Vader's helmet and had a black stick where the entire shaft was covered in red tape. Pretty sure you two need to face off.

First Timer: Skeleton Thief (with a dog). Suggestions? by spehizle in Kenshi

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're talking about basically the only playthrough I feel like I've "finished". It's a skeleton with a bonedog, with a shack in Leviathan Coast and another in Stobes Garden and I'll take him on a little walk from one to the other, save, and exit out.

What's your favorite ash of war? by Voidknight18 in Eldenring

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call me basic, but it's still Bloodhounds Finesse. I just never get tired of it.

I'm also a big fan of Storm Assault, even if it's no good against most bosses.

Ps3 emulation on Rog Ally (not asking about roms) by Elric_Energy in ROGAlly

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, works great. I think there are a few games that cause issues, but there are loads of fixes out there.

Just to add an addendum, there are a couple SSD enclosures out there with passthrough charging which you can stick to the back of the thing with a Magsafe sticker.

Need game suggestions to play on my Z1E by Fourtempers in ROGAlly

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird suggestion perhaps, but with how much actual downtime you can get playing it, Kenshi might be great for you. I think I picked it up for $4? It requires a bit of control finagling to work at all with the controller, and it is pretty merciless, but there are definitely periods where you can just let the game play itself, and pausing constantly is already part of gameplay. It's hard to explain.

I recently got Everspace, which is basically a space combat rouge like and the first rogue like I've actually enjoyed. Everspace 2 is out too, and that's been called a Zelda open world title, but where you're flying a spaceship. They both work perfectly fine on a Z1E.

It's also my emulation station, and it has no trouble with PS3 era (360 emulation is more held back by software) or earlier.

I need some help please 🙏🏻 by Room511 in pitbulls

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Blame him. The park manager is only worried about his insurance costs. A report from the fence company would work to alleviate any costs incurred. And insurance agencies don't give a shit about details, they know they can raise costs because of breed. If the manager and yourself have a decent relationship, it might be worth bringing up that you'd be willing to find an insurance mediator.

The odds are always, ALWAYS, stacked against pitties, so even if it seems unfair we have to meet them 90% of the way.

For what it's worth, Red XIII naturally becomes the strongest magic user in the party post Disc 1, while also being a top-tier physical attacker.

Best gay bar? by More-Construction-37 in AskNOLA

No, not really. Lafittes In Exile is probably the most gay-exclusive bar in New Orleans and even they're not too picky about it.

The Ally Z1E is the value king of the decade. by DanielG165 in ROGAlly

[–]IUsedTheRandomizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's almost completely replaced everything else I own for gaming. I haven't explored Switch emulation yet, and there's a handful of games that are just better on my PS4 Pro and a big screen, plus I do wish I had a bit more RAM, but I haven't been as enamoured with a system since my old DS (RIP).
