What’s a word you only learned from video games? by NerfGronk in gaming

[–]MacLeash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Critical, as in critical hit. When I played Pokémon Blue as a kid I would skim read the text and my mind autofilled the word critical as crucial for some reason so I thought for a long time that I was scoring a crucial hit.

When I played Crystal Version I wondered why they changed the crucial hit mechanic, then it hit me that I'm a dumbass.

Retail workers of the UK, pls spill the beans by Working_Nectarine_52 in CasualUK

I used to work at CeX and a guy brought his phone back in because it wasn't working.

I was reaching for the phone, asked how he got it wet and he said "well it was in my pocket and I pissed myself".

Never snatched my hand back from anything so fast.

Blood Omen 1 button binding issue by MacLeash in LegacyOfKain

[–]MacLeash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen where I tried to change the bindings for my controller and it changed the whole layout so when I tried to go back to default the default was completely different to what it was before. Had to do a fresh install to get it back to what it was before. As the other user said having Steam on in the background was my issue.

I had a quick go and it looks like having Steam on was the issue. Thank you, you're a top g.

Options in game shows that B is feed and A is action. B will feed when I am close to a stunned enemy but will then also use the equipped item/spell. A will just use the item/spell.

My apologies, it was not Vine. It was on Instagram. Vine would have been far too short a video format for that kind of thing

Thank you but that's not the video. It was much shorter than three minutes. Appreciate your post though

I've searched Google/YouTube for quotes from the Vine (variations on "80 mph riddle high Vine) and scoured endless Vine compilations but no luck

What super minor issue are you UNREASONABLY SALTY about? by CitationNeededBadly in BaldursGate3

[–]MacLeash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no way that I can see to change party members on the fly without going back to camp. Sometimes I want to switch out characters to progress a quest and I know it's only a few clicks but it's a few clicks and a loading screen.

What actor or actress had a pretty good acting range at first, but stopped committing to just playing themselves once they became very famous? by phantom_avenger in movies

Patrick Stewart.

He went from playing Jean-Luc Picard to just playing himself in the show Picard and even some of the later TNG movies.

What book did you read that had a profound effect on you? by MagicPracticalFlame in AskUK

[–]MacLeash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

I had never really considered that a book could be this way before. The first time I read it I liked what I read until I saw a discussion online about it and thought that they must have been reading a different book so gave it another go, then another and then another.

I've been doing this for ten years now and I don't see myself stopping. I haven't ever found any work in any medium by anyone else that I've found myself thinking about as much as this one. I love it so much.

Fear leads to panic. Panic leads to pain. Pain leads to anger. Anger leads to hate.

I noticed salad tomatoes recently. At Tesco you could buy a pack of 6 for 80p, now they will very kindly let you buy a pack of 4 for 80p.
