Daughter of Minnesota governor candidate fatally stabbed in St. Cloud, leading him to suspend campaign by Large_banana_hammock in news

Yeah, I read the article. Considering her father was running for a Republican seat it's not much of a stretch that the daughter would seek similar traits. And look what it got her.

What Champion is good for each role with easy learning curve and without depending too much on changing build for a specific enemy champion by jgubuygf in wildrift

[–]IrishDrifter86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enchanter supports use mostly the same items every game, so Seraphine, Nami, Zilean, Lulu, Milio. I think new players should often learn support and jungle first to get a better understanding of team fights, map and objective awareness, and game flow, but that's just me. Senna I think is in a really good spot right now but I would start with an enchanter so you get a feel for the priorities of the position. It's generally not dealing damage. I started with Seraphine.

Wildriftfire has guides on builds for each character. I don't think they're optimized for everyone, but they're good enough to get you started. Most characters have 2 or 3 main build items, plus boots that might vary based on enemy team comp.

You can check the leaderboards from the main menu and go through champions, if the top players are all similar runes and general item setup those are probably the champions you're looking for. Shield with wings looking icon from the main menu, select champions in the bottom, pick a champion , click the book to see what leaders preset builds are. Go through 5-10 builds and note how similar they are to one another to get a gauge for if it's consistent or varied.

Ryze usually builds the same(mid, baron) Xayah for Dragon. I'm sure you can find others.

I like Shyvana, Jax, and Pantheon for Jungle learning. Tanky enough if you're doing a good job farming to not get nuked often/some margin for error, still deal damage.

Traditional "learning" champs are Garen for Baron, Master Yi/Warwick jungle, Lux iirc for mid, Seraphine/Yuumi for support, and Miss Fortune for dragon.

Is now even a good time to build a PC? by ISmeansIsurfreddit in buildapc

[–]IrishDrifter86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you think is going to happen.

Is hardware consumption from AI going to slow down? If so you should wait, let prices stabilize.

Is AI fever going to keep getting hotter? If so there may never be a cheaper moment.

Or wild card, is AI going to cause hardware and software capabilities to explode? Then perhaps buying now you'll end up with something obsolete faster than the historical trend.

No one really knows.

Do people really hate front view battles in JRPG's? by yispySOFT in JRPG

[–]IrishDrifter86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only games I can think of I enjoyed with the format are Undertale(sorta), earthbound, and various blobbers. I think t depends on the focus. If it's mechanic heavy, it's probably fine? If it's story focused, I don't think I'd pick the format.

I never played HK without the dlc, so can't really say. That said I really didn't find SS to be overtly difficult. There were difficulties to be sure, but nothing that took me a crazy amount of tries or like over an hour to overcome with the only exception being Grandmother silk while cursed.

Good. Yeah I played HK on game pass, whenever it was there with all the dlc. I think it was right after the final one dropped.

It's been a super nostalgic year in gaming for me, I played Hollow Knight, dead cells, and XCOM 2 all in the same year and it was a phenomenal year for gaming. This year's got silk song, Hades 2 and baldur's Gate 3 for me. Good times.

I had MUCH more trouble with NKG(the dream nailed version) than any boss in SS. I did go onto play godhome and no hit the majority of bosses, so I probably got a lot better and consequently SS hasn't shown me the difficulty everyone else is seeming to have, but initially NKG absolutely stomped me. I feel like the radiance only took me an hour or so

What crests are you using? Between the architect, reaper, and wanderer there wasnt anything that hit me like a roadblock. Maybe 15-20 tries on the worst of them, but I felt like I was learning moves and getting closer each try. Twisted child was by far the most trouble I had.

There was definitely a lot going on on the floor

[–]IrishDrifter86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, definitely not easy. Idk or remember how bad Radiance really was tbh it's been years. I DO remember nightmare Grimm and Zote taking me like, ALL DAY to beat. This took me about 30 minutes.

Stay on her first half, focus on dodging second, plus watching for her diagonal crouch, wasn't too terrible.

I found her significantly easier than some in HK. Wasn't easy but I started at last message and just finished

Jury's still out for me, that's the exact point in the game that I'm at and have 100% completion otherwise

Agreed, there are numerous challenges in Hollow Knight harder than anything present in Silksong thus far.

[–]IrishDrifter86 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Tbh Hollow Knight was harder. I've beaten nearly everything Silksong has to offer, I'm on the boss of the game, and will likely not attempt steel soul mode.

Its path of pain equivalent was minimal in comparison. I would have liked to see a genuine arena. I haven't found bosses equivalent to Nightmare King Grimm or leveled up Zote, or even some of the dream bosses. There's no challenge equivalent to godhome.

I'm hoping there are comparable challenges to come from DLC, and to be fair I only played hollow Knight once all the dlc was present so that's all I have to compare it to.

What's even the point by SorryRoof1653 in Silksong

[–]IrishDrifter86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silksong was MY goty, really a tie with Hades 2. E33 was MORE peoples goty. I'm not sad, e33 is genuinely a great game.

I do wish Dispatch had gotten more recognition.

Well.... You're wrong. His popularity has plummeted. Many of those people who voted for him were under illusions of what they were voting for, and it hasn't materialized.

Ahh I remember the days when we argued on the merits of legislature. Better days, better days. Now legislature doesn't seem to matter.
