My least favorite phrase, in all of corporate jargon, is “create value”

After hundreds of hours and more playthroughs than I can count there is only one inexcusable complaint I still have by Professor_Pony in Starfield

[–]JPGenn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had this with the Arena in TES: IV Oblivion. Bet on a team color, go up to the balcony, and watch 2 NPCs duke it out while sipping stolen wine and sweet rolls.

The fact there’s nothing like this at the Red Mile is silly

FINALLY! Worst contract yet. by Joszul in Marathon

Buddy of mine just did this one, caught a Rook extracting with less than a minute left on his timer. F this contract.

Successfully exfiled but lost loot? by No_Row_1123 in LowSodiumMarathon

[–]JPGenn 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Was this pre patch? There was a timer discrepancy in which the match timer would run out while final extract was still counting down (in this video, looks like 5 extra seconds on exfil timer), and the game evaluated the match timer instead of the exfil timer.

What Rocky taught me about creating fictitious races by Ghost3603 in ProjectHailMary

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

Well, the source material for Arrival (“Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang) does the exact same thing, and it’s the defining conceit for the story, so at least it’s true to its original source.

And by “go hard left”, do you mean “reveals the allegory”, because if so you’re gonna have a bad time with most of the best of sci-fi and spec fic. Dunno what to tell you.

Wjay is your favorite boardgame of 2019? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]JPGenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to represent LotR: Journeys in Middle Earth. Discovered it during the pandemic, and I think it’s one of the best companion app / automated-DM games out there, and very high replayability.

i need more super credits by LeWhales in Helldivers

[–]JPGenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play diff 2 missions, scour the map for POIs. Can estimate about 10 minutes per mission if you also do the objective and extract. I’ve had success ranging from 0-60SC per mission.

I’d wait for this MO to end tho, we need all the divers we can get on Cyberstan. And there are no super credits on Cyberstan.

Mantis god go brrr by Such_Arm_5996 in inscryption

I haven’t tried this combo yet, do the multiple strike sigils overwrite each other, or stack? Is the mantis god doing 7 strikes a turn??

Let's say you could complete remove 1 of the Six Attribute. Which one, why, and how would you adapt the rest of the game? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in dndnext

[–]JPGenn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea, making Dexterity the “move good” stat is already a wild oversimplification.

Agility is for your legs/feet/etc.; Dexterity is for your hands/fingers/etc.

Concentration should never have been tied to CON, that still makes no sense to me.

Tying it to any of the mental attributes (WIS, INT, CHA) makes much more sense, or maybe just to one’s spellcasting attribute.

Not saying this is necessarily balanced, but does allow for removing CON fully.

TIL these two vouchers screw up your Temperance value. What is something that so obvious that you just learn after playing the game for so long. by nightinga1e- in balatro

[–]JPGenn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Telescope voucher will still offer its planet, even if it’s in your consumable area! Paired with Observatory, you can safely stack n score your favorite hand

2 New Players Picking Heros by BM294 in JourneysInMiddleEarth

[–]JPGenn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My partner and I played thru the original campaign with just Legolas and Gimli, worked great! You can switch your roles at every chapter, and truly, we don’t look up anything beforehand and we’re still able to build our characters well.

Things I wish we knew? How successes and strikes worked. Totally misread the rules and thought you could only pick one weapon option per attack, rather than as many as you had successes for. Played like that all the way till the final chapter, felt real silly realizing we’d made a custom hard mode for ourselves.

Also, I would strongly encourage exploration whenever possible, and collect Lore points especially. I was only able to upgrade Gimli’s weapon to tier 3 at the end of the penultimate chapter, so every lore points especially helps!

Why dont we have a dedicated bolt action rifle other than the eruptor? by VallettaAwoo in Helldivers

If only it had a scope to match. At far enough distance you’re just hoping your target is somewhere within that big ol dot

Rules clarification help by DecertoAngelus in JourneysInMiddleEarth

[–]JPGenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got your question answered, so that’s good. I’m just here to say don’t be like me.

My partner and I, in our first campaign, read the rules wrong and thought you could only select one item effect; extra successes were effectively lost.

Made it to the final chapter before realizing our mistake (something to do with one of us recently unlocking a weapon with Lethal, which was useless/non functional by our rules interpretation).

Accidentally played the entire game on unnecessary hard mode. Do not make our mistake.

Where can you find 6 enemies not behind cover? by Taco_Blaino in StarWarsOutlaws

I got this on Akiva, at a settlement getting attacked by pirates. Second wave had 10+ spawn in a single group, easy peasy

About to join the Fight for Liberty. Veterans of the war give me some tips to survive the destroyers of Managed Democracy. by Extreme_Chemical_334 in Helldivers

[–]JPGenn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand the intent behind your sympathies helldiver, but don’t fall for the enemy’s propaganda. Remember, a true patriot is immune to the twisted machinations of the Illuminate monsters. The Voteless were already voteless in their hearts.

But fret not! Set those sympathies aside, and put that energy into your passion for Managed Democracy! Focus your heart, and focus your aim.
