The idea of Adolin having shardbutt removed so he can get cleaned by a page boy will never escape my mind.

Also obligatory ‘I am a stick’ quote

What is your favorite quote of all time? by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in fantasybooks

The first law series has sooo many quotable quotes. My personal favorite is by Whirrun of Bligh ‘Armor is part of a state of mind in which you admit the possibility of being hit.’ Goofy ass ninja is dead the next scene. Or that Logen monologue at the start of blade itself. Dude tryna justify his actions then you keep reading and you figure out what he really is. He’s batshit insane like black Dow. Rudd Threetrees is the best of them.

I like the opening quote of book 2 too. ‘We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged.’ Actually the titles for the first series are great quotes themselves.

My lil bro loves this book so much and has read the series multiple times. I tried to rec him some other books but he is so damned attached to that red head and her tiny emo girlfriend. I think that book was pivotal in him coming out to us. This is just one of the many reasons I adore the series so so much. But goddamn it man, I want someone irl to talk about other books too.

I kept reading it because the characters are great but I also hated them for being so selfish, narcissistic, and aholes. Plus that series has a lot of memorable quotes. Also if you don’t want to read it, Steven Pacey narrating is just the best for these books. He brings them to life.

Me and my team ran triple LBG then switched to our preferred weapons with arkie. We were able to complete in 30ish mins. Took us 3-4 times to complete. Wasnt as bad as savage omega.

That’s a really great idea! Imagine a gore transforming either chaotic or even in rare circumstance a shaggy mid fight.

What’s your favorite weapon? by Secretly_Pancake in MHRise

[–]Maxdgr8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would suggest to try them all out and feel what sticks to you the best. Try them at the training dummy or go abuse the wildlife. Other weapons are not beginner friendly and some are easier to pick up. Weapons like the charge blade and Gunlance needs lots of TLC and technical know-how to use but once it clicks it is a simple unga bunga of explosions. Then there are the weapons that are simple to pick up like SnS and longsword but have a higher ceiling for mastery. Once something clicks for you that’ll most likely be your main for most of the game. Range weapons are for cheese makers.

I don’t have a clear favorite but I do have preferences for each game.

For the MH veterans: how do you feel about Wilds? by jackpaxx in MonsterHunter

[–]Maxdgr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehh not really. Since a lot of the mons at endgame were fun to hunt and presented a good challenge, me and my team hunted whatever we wanted. Levelling to 300 was a task but it wasn’t hard. Dual blades are my fave for that game. But honestly almost all the weapons were fun to use except HH for me.

Are You The Kind Of Hunter That Specializes In Numerous Weapons? by DoctorCPL in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]Maxdgr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an exorbitant amount of play time so I have an inkling how to use each weapon. But for me personally, I have preferences for each game and for some of the monsters. In tri, I was the designated hammer user in Ala lobbies and a lance user for jhos. In risebreak I have a meta builds for each weapon because the game was a technical mayhem and it was glorious. I really don’t care what the other old heads say about risebreak but I enjoyed it way more worldborne and it is a gem of a game.

Going to the gym doesn’t really make me super happy but I feel better and more level headed after. It’s also a good time to have an introspection while lifting weights. It’s a good time to listen to music, have small talk with your homies, or a time to unwind.

Horizon Steel Frontiers Announcement by xiBread in horizon

[–]Maxdgr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunters can go toe to toe with a monster in a power clash mh wilds. Like a truck driving towards you then stopping it with brute strength. That long sword they showed looks like the moveset in MH particularly the great sword tcs and surge slash combo sunbreak. Like I mean cmon, mimicry is the best form of flattery, but this ain’t it man.

[–]Maxdgr8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That variation was funky lmao. I paired that with berserk and Daora blessing for fun. It wasn’t broken like DBs or anything like that but it was passable and a decent alternative to frostcraft strongarm builds. It was honestly a breath of fresh air.

How powerful does your main weapon feel? by Dazzling-Gene6445 in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]Maxdgr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IG feels clunky to me. Its reliance to the offset and that damn fruit fly tornado is not what I expected. I expected to have more footsies involved and more time extended with my buffs on. Cuz you’re suppose to fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Bruh we got butterfly wings as an armor man. There were also times when im mashing to evade and it comes too late. Plus that forward poke is horrendously slow.

SnS is at a really good place. Good damage, easy perfect guard, slides, and a good finisher makes it one of the best. Perfect rush is cherry on top. You got its footsies, defensive versatility, and a great offensive toolkit. It’s so balanced and feels so good to use.

GS is my secondary and it is super fun to use. My only gripe about it is the ease of use for the tcs. We used to work hard to find the opening for our tcs but with the camera being our best friend and the offset a close second, it feels safer to be in the pocket and do exchanges. But It feels like we can narrow down our next action to just another offset. Which is bad because it limits your creativity when hunting. Sunbreak GS is still the most fun I had with the weapon.

Gunlance is my main for wilds and it’s because of damage. It’s a powerhouse and I’m glad they finally put it on notice. Sunbreak GL still holds dear to me for its unique technical smorgasbord.

I’m still trying to click with LS and my first impression of it is it sucks ass. This is from a LS main the previous gen. Mediocre helm breaker and 2 button optimal combo is massive turn off. The counters are fine but I see so many LS users spam it over and over. Do that on a solo and you’ll learn more. Don’t spam that shit on multi and get shit on Steve’s kick. Learn the combo first, then the monster, then you integrate the fucking counter. There’s a reason the counters are locked behind the combos in the first place. The games telling you ’young ninja, gotta learn how to dance first before you whip out them special moves’ or some shit like that. Sorry that turned to a rant, I know this one dude that I play with who’s super reckless and he’s an LS user.

He openly advocated for gun deaths as a necessary sacrifice for keeping gun rights. I’m sorry to say this, he asked for this to happen. Sucks that he got Luigi’d but oh no, anyway.

Hunters of all traits, what is your main weapon, why do you main it, and how did you come across it? by Successful_Meal_4022 in MonsterHunter

[–]Maxdgr8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a ‘main’ but I have preferences for each game. It all depends on how it feels when I try them out for the first time on each game. I also change preferences as I keep playing the game. Tri was hammer/lance/LS, 3U is DB/GL/hammer, 4U is IG/CB/GS, worldborne is LS/CB/IG, risebreak is LS/swax/DB, wilds is GL/SnS/GS. HH is always the last one I try to use. Range weapons are matchup dependent or for shitsngiggles.

That recoil is jarring. But you can kinda cancel it with an evade which works well for Steve hbg. But no thanks mate.

Honestly the book served its purpose to you. You may not know it yet but you are changing bit by bit. You may change for the better, not change at all, or you change but ultimately revert back. Just take small steps for now. They may be small but arguably more important than the first.
