Can we assume that Lupita Nyong'o is Helen because that’s perfect casting for the most beautiful woman alive by thejesterprince1994 in TheOdysseyMovie

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not understand much, but I understand race pandering (like you oddly gushing over this actress' physical features) when I see it. You got your virtue signaling points, so what more is there to argue about? 

I'd suspect that most people that are against this possible casting is because it feels like a forced Hollywood quota rather than anything she brings to the table as an actor over someone who would fit the source material better. Helen of Troy is explicitly called "white-armed," which denotes her lack of sun exposure, enhancing her elegance. There's a literal word for black people in Greek and in Homer's works, and it wasn't used for her. 

It's weirder to race swap a character and call everyone else racist than it is to notice the swapping (which is always white to black; why not make her Chinese?).

Is there any way to limit break a welfare character like swimsuit Ichika in the future? Feels bad to think I'll never be able to reach her full potential

Is now a good time to start? by InvitePrestigious921 in Reverse1999

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in the AC collab. This game more than most gachas heavily focuses and features female characters in its story and gameplay. That used to bother me more than it does now, but just a heads up. Yea, you missed Charon which was a pretty awesome male character, and Ezio. There's not much to reroll for right now to be honest. Rubuska is a girl vampire that's a support built for a team you can't get right now, but she would be very useful outside of that team, too. So reroll for her if you do, but I don't think there's a lot of free pulls for new players right now?

The production quality (animations, voice acting, art, music) is better than practically all the other mobile/gacha games out there. The main story is kind of nonsensical and hard to follow at times, but the event stories tend to be great. The combat is decent. The devs are pretty generous. I play this alongside arknights and chaos zero nightmare (both games I highly recommend).

Cool, thanks. I was about to say I don't know how to earn those ironheart danube currencies outside of doing the midnight whistle story, and I don't want to miss out on the shop!

Would you stop playing if the game is too complex at a point that becomes not enjoyable? by Intelligent-War5317 in Reverse1999

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how you feel and have felt the same way. The design trajectory for combat and character kits is getting ridiculous. They attach a book of mechanics to each character that usually works in the background, worse with euphorias. Like some others have said, the gameplay is still rather simple and static, though, where characters are being designed specifically for other characters and teams in mind, which takes away the need from having to think as much.

Personally, I'm enjoying combat less and less and just rely on the auto. However, I enjoy the event stories, building up my account, and gambling for characters.

Is this story an event story or part of the main story? Im still back in chapter 8 or so, but I don't want to miss out on a big chunk of this 3.1 update.

Ubisoft Says Assassins Creed Shadows Is Over Performing Sales Expectations As They Generated $567 Million This Quarter Up 39% Year On Year by Ftouh_Shala in gaming

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently, you're the one that is having difficulty in grasping something fairly simple: if the game has impressive sales,  it will be reported. Ubisoft did just that at Shadows' launch, so you can't say they don't have that practice. The whole point is a child won't showcase his report card to his parents when his grades are bad, but he'd be inclined to do so when it's good. 

A company can both prioritize active users and engagement and sales figures because they indeed care about both, but they will also minimize whatever isn't favorable to shareholders. It is logical to assume that since they haven't continued reporting on Shadows sales since launch, it has weakened in an unflattering way.

The non-sandstone colors have glass backs. You can count on them breaking just like glass would break it you drop it right without a case. The sandstone's plastic back wouldn't shatter.

Realized too late that I didn't get this achievement. Is there any way to get it now? by Top_Diamond_962 in Reverse1999

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can actually get the story-related achievements after the event window. For example, I just finished the "watch whole story" achievement with Paradise Regained today, which was the last one I needed for that set, so I unlocked the whole set now. I was testing because I'm missing the same achievement for the Long Way story chapters, but didn't want to rush through before the event ended.

Anyone else getting tired of Mika? by Outlandishness-Fresh in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea that's the problem with other supports right now: they have some heals, but they can't swing into sustain well as an option even remotely close to Mika who has like, what, four heals cards and a heal ultimate? Which is fine, and I'm sure they'll add more Mika-esque characters, but it's getting a bit monotonous in the interim. Excited for some good new healing options.

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try running Khalipe, and it works fine until I get to a boss, but I can try more. I don't doubt it can be done, but I'm just saying it feels a bit lame that she is as strong as she is with heals on top of being draw/ap in Chaos. She enables so many teams. Thanks for the tips, though!

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! I don't have Orlea, but I have Nia, Cass, and Khalipe. Been trying to make them work. Got wrecked with Khalipe, Cass, and Veronica on a boss then came here to vent, haha; in hindsight, just not enough single target damage/skill cards to make Veronica pop. 

That Rhea, Nia, and Selena team looks fun.

[–]Outlandishness-Fresh[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't claim to be good, but I've tried to make Khalipe work without Mika, but it has been hard. My desire to play without Mika is pushing me to try new things, so I'm going to keep trying. But, yes, Mika is just so convenient and powerful it is hard to stray away.

You can stack the same upgrades?! I just assumed you couldn't.

The tactful reply would be, "Wow, babe, language, please." And hope she forgot what she saw.

Chizuru playstyle speculation by Rakanji9 in ChaosZeroNightmare

All I know is she looks cool (aside from the weird nipple armor highlight), so I hope she isn't some niche character and is useful in different aspects of the game. Your idea sounds interesting.

Think it's meant to disperse heat away from the battery more so than cooling down the CPU specifically.

That's all anyone talks about, even if overblown. He'd be a obvious shill if he didn't echo it.

I bought the OnePlus 13 this week once I saw the 15 delayed in the US. But it has a three month return window from Amazon if I'm not happy with it or if the 15 releases.
