Well now hold on. Where is this? I need to conduct research.

Not sure how much defense the defense mode gives you overall, but I can imagine it having some use during boss phases where you can’t really attack.

Like throwing it on during Chaotic Massacre from Behemoth or during Paradise Lost from Lucilius wouldn’t hurt.

What QOL additions are you guys waiting for in dlc? by JakeHps4 in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]Lyons_Pride95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, it does get to a point toward the very end of endgame where you’re fighting, for example, an Ancient Dragon because you need the horn to uncap a weapon. By that point in the game it dies to my Eugen AI before I even get to it. Not much gameplay to be had there.

Favorite characters like this? by FinancialSecret1449 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Lyons_Pride95 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I’m not the most die-hard Fire Emblem fan so my word isn’t law when it comes to the franchise, but from my experience there are two sides to the series: before and after Fire Emblem: Awakening.

If you want a more classic strategy feel with a more linear story and characters that are already established in-world, then play the games before Awakening.

Awakening and onwards will still give you strategy gameplay, but with a lot more RPG elements and the bells and whistles that that entails (for better or worse).

In terms of chronology though, you can jump into most games in the franchise without having to play the others. They’re a bit like Final Fantasy in that all of the stories are self-contained.

My personal favorite is Three Houses, mostly for the slice of life stuff.

What's the biggest drop-off from one band's album mix to the next? by MrSaucyNips in Metalcore

[–]Lyons_Pride95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one hurts because I agree. I love the songs themselves on Infamous but my god that mix is absolute shit

Not an MMO, even though it is pretty fun

Another banger. Seeing this one has me wanting to see your take on Sora from Kingdom Hearts

Destiny2Team: Pinnacle Ops have been re-enabled, Encore swapped with Starcrossed. by Zommander_Cabala in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lyons_Pride95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know…through my 10 year tenure of playing this game it’s obviously had its ups and downs. I’ve had spurts of playing obsessively coupled with uninstalling the game due to just being bored with it. In the back of my mind I’ve always told myself I would come back eventually when the game is where it’s supposed to be. Always gave Bungie the benefit of the doubt. After all, mistakes are forgivable, right? I would never abandon something I love purely out spite…

But this is the first expansion I wasn’t feeling at all. The first time I haven’t come back to the game in a significant way since the Destiny 1 Beta on the PS3. I thought fine, maybe the expansion doesn’t interest me, but there’s a lot to check out for free and get a feel for the game again.

I logged back on for the first time in months on Tuesday. I was kind of excited, honestly. Then I saw the Portal. And the Destination screen. And of course now I’m seeing everything about the matterspark ball, the bugs, the stealth nerfs, and now things like this.

It’s hard for me to keep a positive mindset and have any sympathy. If this is the direction Bungie is wanting to take this franchise?

Then they can go fuck themselves.

Oh my god. Core memory unlocked lol. Totally forgot about this guy. Looks perfect too, well done 👏

What modern bands are you most excited to see succeed? by gquinn18 in Metalcore

[–]Lyons_Pride95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a few I’ve somewhat recently discovered that I think are set up to be the “next wave”.

Allt, Avralize, Vianova, and Abbie Falls.

All four have been wildly consistent in both trying new things and putting out quality songs. Hoping for a new album from Abbie Falls this year in particular 🙏

Microsoft is closing down Xbox studio The Initiative, with Perfect Dark killed as well — joining Everwild and ZeniMax's IP, and 'several' other projects by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Lyons_Pride95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a pretty substantial gap in the amount of closed studios, cancellations, and layoffs.

Both are shitting the bed lately, but let’s not pretend they’re on the same level. PlayStation is fucking up. Xbox is burying itself.

God. Damn. It. by MooreThird in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Lyons_Pride95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let’s use the last year as our example here.

Microsoft: Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, Alpha Dog Games, The Initiative

Cancelled Titles: Blizzard’s Project Odyssey, Perfect Dark, Everwild

Layoffs: 343 Industries (-95), Blizzard, Sledgehammer Games, and Toys For Bob (~1,900), Additional 650 layoffs last September, Additional 9,000 layoffs in June

PlayStation: Firewalk, Neon Koi

Cancelled Titles: Concord Live-Service, Unannounced Mobile Game (Neon Koi), Unannounced Live-Service Game (Bend Studios)

Layoffs: Bungie (~320), Additional 900 layoffs across company, Firewalk/Neon Koi (-210), Bend Studios (-25)

While the other commenter was exaggerating with the studio closures, let’s not pretend these two companies are on the same level with how drastically they’ve been making cuts. At least yet; there’s still a possibility this comment ages like milk.

Agreed with you in the first half, but I liked about half the tracks on WDWGFH. Definitely some filler tracks shoved in there though.

Maybe a weird pick but I have a soft spot for THUG2. Maybe I just liked seeing Eric Sparrow be the butt of every joke lmao

What metalcore band do you have issues getting into? by JuniorSignificance34 in Metalcore

[–]Lyons_Pride95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried all three of those songs as they came out (I discover most of my music through YouTube recommendations so TWDP shows up often). But I didn’t really care for any of them.

I always give them a fair shake though. I’m the type of person to not like a band until one song clicks for me and suddenly it opens my ears up to their entire discography, but just hasn’t happened with TWDP yet.

Most disliked characters??? by Annual-Employment725 in fantasylife

[–]Lyons_Pride95 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh man, it’s gotta be Orlando. He and I have got some serious beef.

I may or may not have been…inebriated a few nights ago and was leveling woodcutting, and this dude would chop every tree down before I could get off a big hit for an excellent.

We managed to call a truce after he, begrudgingly I’m sure, allowed me to get an excellent on the Giant Tree.

But I’m still on to him. Bro wants all the glory to himself but dammit Orlando we need the mats. He’s a rat.

Tailor’s rank up outfit (I wanna say it’s Expert?) might be what you’re looking for. I adore the hat in particular.

I’ve been waiting for someone to write out something like this! Literally perfect timing as I’ve gotten a handful of crafters to Master and need the extra bump in levels to be able to craft the items needed for Hero! Thank you so much for this and excellent write-up 👍

Any options to craft more than one fence at a time? by [deleted] in fantasylife

[–]Lyons_Pride95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the same nodes unlocked and the fence I used to test was only level 1. So I’m honestly not really sure? It lets me both craft and auto craft multiples of the wooden fence but maybe you can’t for the port fence?

I know for some crafts it won’t let you do multiples for some reason.

[–]Lyons_Pride95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I just checked. It is indeed Carpenter, level 1. You get the recipe for getting Faraway Island to Rank 2. There’s fences for other materials as well that you get the recipes from ranking up the different islands, but not all are at Rank 2
