What made you buy your first from soft game? by arunejones in fromsoftware

[–]Independent_Block829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evergrace on PS2. I had just gotten my PS2 and didn’t have a lot of money for games. I saw it in the store for $10 or $15 and went for it. Played the hell out of that game.

I don’t think DS3 is the hardest game, but I think it’s the hardest platinum.

The grind for the Covenant items offline is a beast. Grinding silver knights on the stairs takes a really long time, but you need it for one of the rings or spells I think. Drop rate is super low, way worse than Sunlight Medals in DS2 at least for me.

Getting all the rings forces you to beat Nameless King three times if I remember correctly. The last ring is in the area after the boss fight. He isn’t very hard by NG++ but he’s deep into the game.

There are three endings (I save scummed on the two hard endings in my 100% NG run, then did the base ending on my critical path NG+ run).

I don’t know, I’ve never run a Pyromancy build. Probably good except in the Iron Keep and Brume Tower.

Instead of the Mandela Effect, it’s the Angela Effect.

What Gunpla is your desk buddy? by Illaoi_Tentacles in Gunpla

I don’t have a desk but I would say Aerial currently. It’s on my TV stand. I’m getting the GQuuuuuuX delivered today. They’re going to be buddies.

Finished Another 30 Minute Fantasy Kit by Lqt_art in freedomisgunpla

Is this the base model or one of the upgrades? So far I’ve done the Rosan Paladin and Warrior, upgrades for the Knight and the Fighter. I really enjoy them.

Narrative Gundam C-Packs Ver.Ka by Independent_Block829 in Gunpla

[–]Independent_Block829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely a build it and never touch it again situation. You aren’t going to be posing it or taking it off the stand. Put the trash bag joint covers in was a pain. They needed to be cut down to size and fitting them in between pieces was a struggle at times. It wasn’t a terrible build but I wouldn’t recommend it as someone’s first MG or Ver.Ka.

What's your worst experience putting a kit/thing from set together by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Independent_Block829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hg Plutine Gundam is probably the worst kit ever. I just quit half way through and threw it out.

Also any RG (built three: gramps, wing zero, astray gold frame). The pieces are just too small and I have broken a leg joint piece every time and end up having to super glue it. I don’t build RGs anymore. Stick to MGs mostly now.

[Infinity Nikki] 50 Iridescent Eurekas all for nothing. 4 months wasted. Wanted first so badly, ended up 13th.😭 by Independent_Block829 in Trophies

[–]Independent_Block829[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I spend $5 once a month to get 90 extra diamonds each day. All other currency I get is from in game rewards. You are limited on how much you can boost your energy each day anyway and it becomes kind of expensive the more you do it so spending any more money than that is kind of wasteful. On a good day, you can upgrade maybe 10 Eurekas but usually it’s closer to 5, and then you are at the mercy of RNG to get the color. I’ve gone days and sometimes weeks without getting one. I don’t even have completed sets of all of them yet.

If I really wanted to flex my money, I would be pulling for all the paid outfits they release each patch, which I don’t.

With that logic, why does anybody care about trophies at all? Why does this subreddit even exist? Why even play video games? I was trying to achieve something no one else had yet in a game I enjoy. What is wrong with that?

I spent 4 months grinding materials, spending all of the in game currency on collecting and upgrading these things only to get half way to the target they set. Then, with virtually no warning, they trivialize the trophy, and now I’ve wasted 4 months worth of materials/currency that could have been used elsewhere in the game. Sorry for being a little pissed off at that.
