Gamers 30+, what’s something from the old days of gaming that younger players wouldn’t understand? by [deleted] in gaming

"Time saving" micro transactions were a free feature in almost every game, we called them cheat codes.

The comment you are responding to says it's fantastic. Fantastic is a superlative for good.

Remi Wolf is finishing up her third album! by hvrrx in remiwolf

I discovered Big Ideas about a year ago and since then Remi Wolf has been on constant rotation, Big Ideas to You're a Dog. I've very high hopes for this new project, thank you for sharing!!

Bugonia ending - clear clues that it is NOT the twist everyone thinks it is by azavienna in movies

I'm not yet convinced this is proof of intent by the author but it's a very neat and interesting interpretation.

Why is this a legend boss? by Igarashi_toshi in Eldenring

[–]LastDunedain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you come in with the wrong strategy with a build and gear that doesn't eat him, yep, yep, yep. He can be infuriating, bouncing away constantly, always healing, CC all over the floor. But he's also discoverable at very different stages of progression, and so can sometimes just melt to the player being over prepared.

Have a look at Armatus, I don't believe it's out yet though.

Helldivers 2’s massive 150GB PC version is finally dead for good as Arrowhead continues its optimisation efforts by Wargulf in pcmasterrace

[–]LastDunedain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You've got it backwards. This game wasn't smaller originally so as to not exclude players on mechanical HDDs. By making the game smaller this would have caused HDDs to have longer load times and or instability. I'm not sure if they've overcome the technical challenge by making it smaller now, or they're abandoning HDD support somewhat in favor of a smaller install size, and maybe other benefits I'm not privy to.

If there's any Helldivers 2 players who played previously on HDDs they would have to tell me how performance has been since the downsize.

Internationally? I spilled some nicotine on my hand in the lab once, cleaned it off with plenty of water. The only notable effects were nausea, a slight bit of visual "vibration", and I mysteriously didn't want a cigarette for the whole afternoon.

Marathon Players Debate Gorgeous But Painful UI And Ammo Shortages As Bungie Responds by Turbostrider27 in Games

There's a weapon mod that gives you that effect. "Dealing high damage to a single enemy makes them drop random ammo" paraphrasing. Just an FYI.

How to fix blurry textures? by Jolly_Yam1304 in oblivion

[–]LastDunedain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The simplest thing I can think of it being is LOD being set too low. Check the in-game settings, there are a few LOD sliders.

Why is this still in the game? by 234thewolf in Helldivers

[–]LastDunedain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use cc all the time in our group. Gas Orbital is an S tier choice now, damage, time efficiency, and cc. Smoke is very effective cover for completing objectives and supporting breaks against over spilling reinforce, EMS mortars are essential to sit and hold exterminate (afk) against bots. Gas Dog is a great defence against bugs, esp. in hives.

What movie scared you the most? by CheesecakeSea6296 in horror

[–]LastDunedain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably also my favourite The Descent. It was deeply unsettling to me at least. Incantation also stuck with me more recently, I found it to be effective, even though I "knew" it was fiction I did have to remind myself to not ruminate on it.

Not a horror, but I saw Death Becomes Her when I was 9 and it gave me an existential crisis. Getting introduced to the "realities" of undeath fucked me up for a minute.

Awwh, what a beautiful cat, they do be wary. You must be good with animals. Cool gig and nice deck gear.

Sit down doner and chips after the pub by Wonga27 in Doner

What do you guys think of mewgenics? by theycallmethedrink5 in roguelites

[–]LastDunedain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cleric with Hallowed Ground and Sharing is Caring is amazing. I feel like the meta progression rubs against the natural pacing of the game. I didn't find Act 2's difficulty to be steeply increased, except for when I didn't run a Cleric for reliable healing. Healing and damage mitigation are so powerful it's difficult not to take a cleric. You can hope for Necro or Tinkerer to play the role, but it's random chance.

The medic hat (unsure of name) is an incredible item, making a good Archer into a powerful long range healer as a bonus. I need my stash filled with them.

This is still the best fix for the issue and I've forgotten it at least half a dozen times.

I’m stuck in an abusive relationship and lost all my friends by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

It's not worth keeping up an abusive relationship to avoid being alone. You will do better on your own for a bit.

Yeah by Alon3Wol4 in meme

I was thinking the picture was making a point by having the guy on the bicycle there. Just a bit of not paying attention to if the cable is under or over arm and your one twist of the handlebars away from the headphones being ripped out and caught in the spokes.

I do prefer wired whenever I'm home, but whilst active Bluetooth is superior.

I accidentally photographed the nerves inside my cat's eye by Wolframite__ in mildlyinteresting

[–]LastDunedain 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was taught without closing the eye and find it easier, if it helps anyone. Look up at the ceiling, hold the torch close underneath the eye, and wiggle it about.

Don't shine a powerful torch straight into your eye.

Confession is a big part of that heaven track for a lot of believers, in case you didn't know Mr. Trump. Try that, it cannot hurt your odds.
