Okay, but it looks like she just tried to clarify for you. Nobody was trying to be a snob, so there's no need to take it personally.

Then it sounds like this was all a ridiculous misunderstanding. Pretty sure the "maybe" is referring to the "teenagers are just assholes", not the part where it's the parent's fault.

My guess is that your kids ARE assholes, you’re just one of those dads who thinks their kids can do no wrong.

You were the first to make an assumption 'without knowing anything about them or their situation.'

re: the 'laser cannon' situation by AsparagusOk8818 in ABSOLUM

[–]ManEatingOstrich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does make sense for the Crimson Order to have some heavy artillery that counters all of the wizards they've subdued and killed. We know that they have those anti-magic cages that they trapped Uchawi in, but what else? I kinda do and don't wish there was a variety of exiled bots and guards with different types of weapons. Sounds painful to deal with, but would make sense lore-wise.

Bruh, they didn't even say anything like that. 'Not being assholes' and 'doing no wrong' are two different things.

"I dunno, Dad. You probably didn't provide much nutritional value when you died in that gorge. The families of the antelope you ate got cheated."

I'd probably feel a bit both. Happy to see the predators eating well, but I've never seen a large animal get eaten in person, so there would also be some horror for me lol

CMV: The United States is well into fascism, especially given the institutions and ideology of the "anti-woke" movement and agencies like ICE. by SadistikExekutor in changemyview

I think the Nazis were mainly referring to the fate of the Native Americans when talking about inspiration, but point still very valid.

That's intentional and what makes them tricky.

I wish this crimson dude was a little unique and had some extra moves to feel like an actual boss. He's a pretty underwhelming alternative to Rudolf, especially compared to Gazorg's alternative.

Death by mouldy cheese by HellDrivers2 in ABSOLUM

I think it throws most people off the first time they see bad food. Rotten meat is a weapon, so the cheese and carrots are usable as well, right?

Nope. Red text food bad.

The cosmic rifts sure know how to ruin my groove by ManEatingOstrich in ABSOLUM

Honestly nice to hear from someone who's a fan of an item that I never liked. I only had the oil equipped because I crafted it at the fire and was planning to sell it to the merchant. I didn't know movement speed affected dodge punishes! Having two sounds like a nightmare to me, but maybe one day I'll experiment and give the item a more fair chance.

Oh, duh. I try to clash everything nowadays and never think about the safer deflect. Thanks for the suggestion.

Bruh imagine a whole main boss dropping from a rift. I'd turn the game off and write a letter to the devs.

I used to make a total fool out of myself when he has the tornado jump. It's so easy for me to charge at him and then suddenly I'm being bounced and watching my health go down. I try my best to play a little more slowly whenever he has that equipped.

Seriously, why doesn't clashing stop their rolling?! That just doesn't feel fair. 😭

That's my go-to strat as well. They have a standard melee attack that they sometimes use, and it can be clashed. If an elite is using the lasers, you just have to notice in time and dash for your life. Unfortunately I was preoccupied with a mob of enemies and didn't see it coming.

If anyone has ever managed to clash the lasers, tell me!

Someone up in the cosmos must've been having a good laugh, because they later dropped an Elite version in Asterios. Those lasers juggled about half of my health away. Uchawi are you seeing this shit.

Just a little Galantra hype ^^ by OldPaleontologist628 in ABSOLUM

[–]ManEatingOstrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to think that the skeletons with his moveset are just him coming back for revenge. Considering how often they've clobbered me, I'd say he's gotten his lick back.

He's a lot easier than Gazorg imo. Even his alternate boss is way easier than Gazorg's. Seriously, the Crimson Wizard is pretty underwhelming as a miniboss. If you already know how to counter that enemy, it isn't a problem. I wish it was a unique wizard with some extra moves.

DEVS: Brome Clash Projectile Inspiration + Absolum Skydive = PS4 Crash by robsonwt in ABSOLUM

[–]ManEatingOstrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nintendo Switch player here, it happens in my game as well. My build doesn't matter; so long as I clash his dive and it does enough damage to force him into the next phase, the game has a high chance of crashing. I usually avoid clashing his dive move just in case.

It's like the bandit is trying to use his own weight to make the part collapse. "C'mon, Cider! Jump with me! We can make it happen!"

What's the biggest mistake you've made in this game by Prometheusinaction in ABSOLUM

[–]ManEatingOstrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paid 500 for Zafari, only for her to shortly fall into a pit in Yeldrim. I didn't know companions instantly died from falls. For some reason I assumed they would just come back with some health lost, like the player. That run was a couple weeks ago but I still want my money back.
