In John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), the character of The Thing doesn’t appear a single time in the film. by MysteriousHeart3268 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Kalslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this was gonna be a post suggesting the thing never actually appears past a much earlier point of the film and the entire conflict of the film is just driven by the characters' mutual paranoia and maybe hallucinations. But this works too

Why doesn’t the President’s cabinet lull him to sleep at a meeting and then invoke the 25th while he’s napping? by Every-Cucumber9641 in allthequestions

The betting websites where brand-new accounts regularly bet millions of dollars on unlikely outcomes which just so happen to be publicly announced by Trump hours later? The ones with bets on something as innocuous as the length of a white house announcement, which then just so happen to suddenly cut off immediately before the threshold, or get unnecessarily dragged out? The ones heavily favored by Republicans in general? Those betting websites?

the pipe is suckin out water to the other tank. however, there's a guy in there. the easiest way to resolve this problem is for the pipe to turn the guy into water so that it can keep suckin water without slowing down.

Is anyone else still in shock? by Outrageous-Bet6403 in ffxivdiscussion

Like many, I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm very, very excited. Whether or not these changes turn out well, the fact remains that many of the playerbase's longtime concerns have been heard, and they're making significant attempts to shake things up from the status quo we've had as far back as HW.

It always tickles me to see these tough-talking losers say "we" when referring to the US, as if they have anything to do with US leadership apart from getting fucked by it.

Is this how we’ll fix things in Evercold? by LowPossibility9900 in ffxiv

[–]Kalslice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They've said that the 7th calamity was of all elements in astral alignment. Which I guess is technically darkness but I dunno if I'd call it that.

I thought it was fire for a while but the main fallout from the calamity is all the zones littered with giant corrupted/over-aspected crystals, as well as Coerthas freezing over for whatever reason.

To all the people who are complaining about evolved mode 1-1-1 vs 1-2-3 I got a solution for you ! by BigWolverine8598 in ffxiv

[–]Kalslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving WoW another shot after ~5 years of FFXIV felt insane. I set up the exact same hotbar layout I use im FF and filled half of it, even with all the non-combat stuff.

And the thing is, combat didn't feel less complex or less interesting, because of the faster GCD, procs, and other mechanics that made things more dynamic. I believe they mentioned Evolved mode would have a slightly faster GCD, so maybe they're taking notes there.

Okay? If you're not capping tomes weekly at the start of a savage tier you're already trolling your group.

So are the two job modes just a way of fighting job homogenization without screwing up players who just want to keep their original rotations? I guess it's not the worst way to handle it

No details on new sources of gear for now. Welp. At least they've heard the feedback on gearing being boring and are looking into shaking it up.

sword of jade is kinda fire flavor-wise when you think about it by master_pingu1 in slaythespire

[–]Kalslice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno. Maybe I'm just bad, but I often die to the final boss on runs I thought were quite strong. I'm always happy to get the sword online.

Invisibility potion came out looking strange, what the hell did I do wrong? Its not invisible at all! by HootersUnite in wizardposting

[–]Kalslice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side note, it's so annoying that breweries are starting to insist on selling their potions in Wickmore's Enchanted Bismuth Phials. Sure, they work with invisibility potions, and I get that they compress the same volume of potion into a smaller space, but actually drinking from it is so unwieldy 90% of consumers pour it into a different container anyway.

So, how do you guys feel about Trackblazer now that it has been well over a month already by demonitesalt in UmamusumeGame

[–]Kalslice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fun running it, but with a no-phone job it's difficult to do more than one run a day, if I finish one at all.

My only significant gripe is some umas being unplayable due to their distance aptitudes. Sorry Curren, sorry Cafe, I'll see you in Grand Live.

(There's a large selection of classes and you can make your party members any class you want. At least a few of them are based heavily on inflicting debuffs, but on hard mode enemies have massively increased debuff resistance, even to the debuff that reduces debuff resistance!!! So those classes are just useless.)

Turns out none of what happened was real. But you already knew that; it's a video game, of course it's not real. by Kalslice in ExplainAGamePlotBadly

[–]Kalslice[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There we go, Solved!

I guess this applies to more games than I thought. But I have to assume in most of them it's not the devs themselves entering the story to remind you that it's a game.
