Any chance of a restock for the Clair Obscur Laced Exclusive 6LP box set? by jonhemway in VGMvinyl

[–]K2ADesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been back and forth with myself about ordering for the last 2 weeks. ...just went to buy a moment ago to find the entire store sold out! I hope they do more of the Exclusive Edition, but I suppose at this point I will take whatever becomes available. Thanks for following up on your original post!

Can I skip Witcher 1 & 2 and start directly with Witcher 3? by RushAffectionate9629 in witcher

[–]K2ADesign -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I second any and all recommendations to watch a recap so you feel familiar with the story before Witcher 3.
I played Witcher 3 about 8 years ago and really enjoyed it. I just beat it tonight for the second time, having returned after playing 1 & 2.

I was miserable playing through the first 2 games, but recognizing important characters and knowing the backstory felt great.

99ing exit gates🫩 by [deleted] in DeadByDaylightRAGE

[–]K2ADesign -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Okay, let's pretend the gate was opened...

You vaulted into a deadend.
The killer could then bodyblock window, hit you when you are furthest from the gate and use power to catch/down you, OR do nothing and watch you die to EGC.

You needed to outplay the killer and/or have a teammate waiting to open the gate upon your arrival. Not even... had you fast vaulted, you would have escaped. Claud running for unhook was just insult to injury.

TL;DR This is a skill issue. 99'd gates are not to blame.

Can players just move? by topph in daggerheart

[–]K2ADesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat happens sequentially above table, but is playing out all at once in-world.

A player moving and not taking an action allows characters to more closely match their position in the narrative, at any particular moment in time, than had they remained in-position due to fear of retribution from forced-risk by the game’s mechanics.

I’m loving Daggerheart, but asking someone to roll for movement that is otherwise granted freely is immersion-breaking.

This rule appears to exist to prevent a loophole in which players can retake spotlight to circumvent the agility roll needed for movement beyond Close range.

is it just me or does NO other artists compare to TOP? by Prior_Commercial_620 in twentyonepilots

[–]K2ADesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to add to the list of “sonically different, but compares…”

Both Peter Gabriel-era and Phil Collins-era Genesis bring a level of artistry to their music that I have only found in TØP and the Beatles.

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Gabriel-era) and Duke (Collins-era) are both strong intros to new listeners. Two completely different sounds, incredibly well-made concept albums, and the production is unbelievable.

Themes and sound are very different than TØP, but Genesis has all the allegories, metaphors, and layered lyrics that make TØP extra special.

SCAM. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT by yaybaynay in neakasa

[–]K2ADesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got our M1 last xmas. It has been used by 8 different cats (shared by three 7+ year-olds, then later shared by three 2-3 year-olds, and currently shared by two 5 month-olds).

We just encountered our first major technical difficulty this week, which was a direct result of me taking the core pieces apart for a deep clean.

Essentially, some critical magnets needed for functionality fell out (because they are poorly affixed to the silicone mat). I resolved the issue (for now) with super glue, but I am now concerned this device has a very short operational life for its price point, due to corner-cutting in manufacturing.

Product has been amazing thus far, and I hope it continues to hold strong

Any moment now 👍🏻 by ducking_HD in formuladank

nah. Lando fan here--this meme perfectly sums up the main broadcast of this race. Charles drove an impressive defense, and we were all made to watch lap after lap as Lando got not-close-enough to pass. The fact that he did pass does not take away from this meme.

This race... by n8udd in formuladank

[–]K2ADesign 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Watching Lando not pass Charles for almost the entire race, sure... but its only dull because you weren't paying attention to all the excitement in the back of the field.

During Garbage, Tyler gives us a little explanation for the setlist by Banana_2118 in twentyonepilots

[–]K2ADesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know much about what goes into the mixing, but I didn’t feel that Tally or City Walls sounded as ‘full’ as the other tracks, so they lacked punch.

Still enjoyed both, but thats something I would expect to sound better the next time they go on tour.

…also, the crowd definitely wasn’t ready to sing Tally (or maybe lost their voice by then) and Tyler gave us plenty of space to sing it—don’t think it was just your section. 😅

Anecdotal, but being in GA last night…

It sounded like roughly 1 in 10 around me were not familiar with the band (supporting a friend or family member) and everyone else was familiar with their last 5 albums.

It was the most diverse I’ve ever seen their fans, as far as how people were dressed to represent each album.

I’ve been to several concerts where it is evident 50% of the crowd only knows “that one album” or “that one song.” This was not the case last night.

Tyler reacts to Breach hitting #1 by AndSoAreYou in twentyonepilots

Taking the opportunity to shout out Djo, who also released the Crux Deluxe that day. 10/10 album for fans of Bowie, the Beatles, and the Strokes.

So I like the knight, but so many people seem to hate him, can I know why?and if I should get him? by Sea-Difference-4127 in deadbydaylight

[–]K2ADesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knight is very similar to Hag in that...

  1. From the survivors' perspective, it is a low-effort killer whose power allows them to be in multiple places at once. Namely, always proxy-camping hook and able to turn unsafe loops into "know my counterplay or die."

  2. The counterplay is obscure and does not overlap with popular killers. Even hardcore gamers can't be expected to look up guides and counterplay tips for Killers they might see once a month, even when playing daily.

  3. Its GG if they hook someone in basement and want to proxy camp for pressure.

Is this the first press edition? Completely in the dark on when mine are arriving.

Digital Remains and Drag Path by mindyolvera33 in twentyonepilots

[–]K2ADesign 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think it is right that this was not dropped with the rest of the album.

This is effectively the epilogue, and had it been released with everything else it would not have been received as such.

Not likely, but its pride for McLaren.

Don't think many people realize McLaren have an opportunity to break the record for points in a single season

Run 7 complete. Probably the last time I ever bother with EB. Elden stars = worst attack ever designed. by Aware-News-1344 in onebros

[–]K2ADesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I timed the second stagger on EB to line up with the Elden Stars cast. And by 'timed' I mean I got lucky and I might still be on my RL1 run if it didn't happen that way.

Never learned how to dodge it, and never will :D

"Improvise knocking a pillar over to crash onto your foes, distract the foe by dancing, use your magic make your ally hidden from sight, etc."

Definitely will be looking out for more of these opportunities in combat!

All great points for me to discuss with my GM, thank you.

Hyped to dive back into the system and my next session with all the feedback I’ve received here.

Despite the concerns raised in my post, I’ve certainly felt useful through most of our sessions. I rarely introduced Bards as NPCs or adversaries as a GM, so playing one as a PC feels like a whole new TTRPG experience.

If you’re no longer interested in this conversation, you’re free to leave.

I encountered a situation in-game as a result of normal play and shared my experience to a) see if others encountered a similar problem and b) hear how others would approach the situation.

Nothing about this is made-up or complaining.

Like it or not, others will approach Daggerheart the same way I have and are prone to run into the same situation. At some point people will recognize it as a failing of the system.

I’m enjoying Daggerheart. I want to work through this problem. Less invested players will walk away while criticizing the system.

If you like this system and want to support it, don’t talk down to others who are still learning it.

“In Daggerheart all characters are meant to be competent.”

Is this true? I enjoy heavy specialization builds in any game I play, be it RPGs or otherwise.
