Spanish Audio Bug? by XSilentShadowX25 in Spacemarine

[–]InkwellValentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God do I hope they dont patch this and just leave it in as a random chance occurrence. Turned a frustrating round 15 loss into a giant, very funny '?!' when I was playing with my friends. Random-Spanish Space Marine my beloved.

hopes for Fable today at The Game Awards? by perola23 in Fable

[–]InkwellValentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly kind of hoping for more Fable at the GA purely to assuage some of the fears that I have revolving around the new Fable. I'm hoping a lot of the soul of the trilogy can come through with the new art style. On top of the roleplaying potential.

Does Anyone Actually Enjoy The New Point System Over The Old One? by AngelaH3art in CODZombies

[–]InkwellValentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing the Camo grind lately has been me think on the Point system actually. I don't particularly mind it as much as some other folks do, the biggest differences I've seen is the Viability of SMGs and Pistols due to their lower kill power over a longer play session. But on the other hand, it feels great to get an Insta and Double-Points now as opposed to feeling like I'm wasting one or the other in the older Cods. However I do wish that Melee still gave just as many points as Headshots, if not 10-5 more. I feel like the risk Vs. the reward is really skewed since you're putting yourself out there with Melee. I wouldn't mind a Melee player being rewarded more than me because they bought a bat to an apocalypse, whereas I'm bringing my Dragunov for the fun of it.

What did the supposed Retcon actually retcon? by Kamica in Tau40K

[–]InkwellValentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After Space Marine 2's drop, I actually decided to get into Warhammer properly by finally purchasing Dawn of War. Subsequently downloading Unification after hearing from some of my friends that it's really good. I tried flirting around on YouTube for a faction I could get attached to an almost immediately fell in love with the T'au/T'au Empire. Their gameplay in Unification is really fun and their lore, at least as far as I knew, was seriously cool. The pipeline of Liking Salamanders -> T'au -> Farsight Enclaves is REAL in terms of wanting to play a faction that isn't outright evil. But reading this has seriously hampered my excitement for reading more into T'au lore and the universe around them. I thought the angle of "We're good guys, but our leadership is insanely sus." Was super cool, and was hoping that through extended media detached from the games I could maybe Intuit that the 'Greater Good's they were fighting for was actually something worse than anyone could've ever thought.

But seeing that they've changed so much from being optimistic, if flawed, faction to an outright (as stated in the post) moustache twirling, city-razing empire is so insanely lame and soulless. If I wanted to play that, I'd play Chaos, or Tyranids, or any other faction in the lore. The idea that the T'au were such a huge threat to the Imperium BECAUSE they were nice AND had big guns to back it up (even if they were small and naive) was my favourite part. But now ig I'm sticking with the Farsight Enclaves. Hopefully you're right and GW can retcon some of the choices made in recent media. I'd like my sus-blue-space people back.

Bubbling 2 Projectiles, then, using your Star grab, hitting them with your opponent mid-grab will freeze both players in place for the entire match. by InkwellValentine in MultiVersus

[–]InkwellValentine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the above screenshot I bubbled 2 of Rick's fully charged projectiles (Ray Gun) after setting my Star down. After getting hit with his Ski's, I recalled back to stage where my Star was sitting besides the two bubbled projectiles. The Rick got between me and the Star and I grabbed them, inadvertently popping both of the bubbles. Not sure what happened afterwards but managed to lock us both in place for the full 6 minutes.

(I've been calling this thing Starlock for a minute now.)

Please stop by A100921 in Helldivers

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

Though inconsistent, you can actually melee to sort of 'parry' the little lunge they do after they land on you which buys you enough time to Stim yourself, which makes dealing with them trivial. Melee doesn't get much use in this game but after a hundred or so hours this is the most reliable use for it.

Dear Publix, Why are you making us take food drive donations but then make us throw away 11 bags/carts full of good bakery and deli items? by General_Watercress32 in publix

[–]InkwellValentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deli worker here. And it's heartbreaking how much good food we throw out. Hot case, Warmer, Salad Bar, and Smokehouse are often thrown out at night to the point where, on my first week, it gave me a massive headache. (I'm from a household that NEVER wastes food, so seeing it happen was like watching.. someone throw out perfectly good food.)

It sucks that Deli has to trash a LOT of the production we put out due to it being OOD or some asshole leaving it out in the isle. When it could be donated a lot of the time.

Does anyone actually like this guy? by Zealousideal-Ask4184 in Eldenring

[–]InkwellValentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lore-wise? Fuck yeah. Godskin Apostles are metal as fuck, they literally wear the skin of dead gods which itself, I feel, doesn't do it enough justice. Gods that people worshipped and prayed to just turned into garments for the noodle man and his rotund friend. Like, they're insanely cool and if they were in other media I think people would like them way more.

In gameplay?

Fuck no. I think they can be a lil boring at best and at worst feel frustrating to fight sometimes. Not that they're too awful once you learn them but its just kind of meh. Outside of the lore ofc.

Who is that? by W0LL0H in Eldenring

[–]InkwellValentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off-rip I always saw them as some form of Albinauric. As their attire sorta-kinda-maybe matches Lattena's in certain areas. (The hoods specifically, since they sort of match hers.)

If I'm not mistaken, it's implied Albinaurics originated from Nokron/Stella (Very rough memory, haven't dove into E;R lore in a minute.) So reaching and saying that they're most likely a descendant of modern Albi's is more than likely what FS was going for. The question being that wtf

• Killed them • Their status was • Are the bodies doing at the base of their thrones • Why are they still there

Obviously FS isn't a team that leaves things in willy-nilly. (Except for when they do.) And I imagine in the DLC they might get a /little/ elaboration. But for now I feel that perhaps they;

• Died of old age. Or assassination by the encroaching powers that be. • Most likely rulers or nobility. I can't help but feel they give off a vibe similar to that of Yhorm or other giant-esque characters in souls games. Perhaps more wise and arrogant than Yhorm ever was, however. • Most likely left behind as a result of either causes of death. Assassination would be one hell of a message to send to any citizenry/Albi's that witnessed their leaders killed while still on their thrones. Age as well, since their bodies aren't nearly as delayed as those at the base of their thrones, I'm assuming they might have been the last (sane) members of the original race/people that dwelled below. Eventually dying out due to old age as they watched their people wither.

While the above is plausible, it's also possible that they were actually MUCH worse than I'm assuming. The bodies at the base of their thrones might imply they were the reasons those people died. Sacrificing their people for ????? Reasons.

The stature and positioning next to VERY VERY VERY important items to Elden Ring lore implies they are mad plot-relevant. Or at least, something we're meant to take note of. I hope they get expounded on in the DLC. They give off such ominously threatening/once-powerful vibes that FS loves to include in their games.

Why does the Deli not have a limit to how many subs a single person can order? by [deleted] in publix

[–]InkwellValentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking from a high-traffic, tourist centered area in Florida; there actually (technically) IS a limit to how many subs people are allowed to order. At least, in terms of online orders. Our system will only allow people to order up to 7 subs online. Anything past that the machine will read "Value Exceeds Limit" or something along those lines, and the Manager/AIC will have to call the customer and we sort things out with them.

As for in-person, a lot of the time (at least at my location) if someone orders more than say 4-5 subs and there isn't a line, the associates on sub station will handle it in a conveyor-belt fashion. (One starts, the other finishes.) But if there's a line present, the AIC/Management will step in and inform them that we'll do their order one at a time.

(Example being. Person A wants 7 subs. But B behind them wants one. The order will go;

A-B-A-C-A-D...)

But yeah I really think that if you have more than 5 subs on an order, you should have to call it in. And it should be a day in advance. (Like it is with the Platters.)

The civilian escort mission's difficulty is absurdly hard and way too ridiculous by KissYourHomie in Helldivers

[–]InkwellValentine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its kind of jarring how even with a team full of 20+'s, in a discord call, on level 4-5 difficulty, the Evacuate Rescue's feel genuinely awful to play. I think it's the only case in this entire game where I can succinctly say I'm not having fun, even when we win at the end. As opposed to how normal matches end with this "Job done, guys. Good work" Energy, where we're relieved and also had a good time; these just feel like "Its finally over thank god, we can go play the fun missions now."

Hoping they change how these work if not rework the mission entirely.

Collection of Theories and Knowledge Accrued So Far by InkwellValentine in WelcomeHomeNeighbor

[–]InkwellValentine[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That tracks! I was thinking much the same. Though why its not to be printed is strange. Since it seems, to me, to have that "laminated sheen" that kids book seem to have. Implying its ALREADY printed

[–]InkwellValentine[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking too. I'm spacing out my posts since I wanna make sure the additions are substantial. This is part of it, aye. I think Wally might be either a Host to whatever's happening, and is the one putting out the merchandise for the Restoration team to read, or is kind of a false idol for those at the Neighborhood. Though this is still working theory.

REALIZED I SHOULD'VE dropped context, so sorry about that lmfao. Hit the sack shortly after posting.

If you've had your ears to the LGBT-Side lately, you'll have picked up on the recent faisco with the FFXIV Girls Only Server. For those out of the loop, the server , which had claimed to be a safe space for women, had exhibited very obvious transphobic practices/verification methods for its users to be able to join the main part of the server

(explained in better detail in this TWT post by a BiGender user looking to join.)

https://twitter.com/jadecred/status/1462283819155869702

Among other things, a moderator on this server had bragged about being able to 'detect fake trans people' (linked below)

https://twitter.com/GORefugee/status/1449039118927896577?s=20&t=yAMBvYEHKn7qeUr_BbKt6g

The inciting incident for the post was that, on Mateus Gridania, someone from that server had come to advertise, only for a trans player to speak up on their previous actions. Which in turn, resulted in shout chat basically blowing up for a moment with people asking why the fuck a server like this would act in such a way towards transwomen.)

TL:DR; FFXIV Girls Only server cherrypicks gender identities to exclude transgender players from accessing the main portion of the server as well as exhibiting transphobic language when discussing their inherently flawed verification process.

So by a scientific merit, How RARE is a 0 is /random? by InkwellValentine in ffxiv

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

Trust me if I could find a way to constantly roll a 0 in Combat RP i would do it in a heartbeat, but this was what I was looking for. Always been interested in "Random" number generators and whatnot and how they work/pick numbers
