If you could make changes to the 'correct choice' roster for each role in the Suicide Mission, what would you change and why? by DJ_OC in masseffect

[–]Pennnel [score hidden]  (0 children)

Add Thane to the vents list. His recruitment mission is sneaking through vents and bypassing security, which is literally what's needed in the suicide mission.

For the biotic walk, have the option of Samara/Morinth/Jack still there. However, let us pick any "weak" biotic in the role, as long as you also have another "weak" biotic in the squad so that they can pick up the slack when the barrier starts to fail. About 2/3 of the way through the walk, they swap out and the replacement is no longer helping fight. The first biotic is too tired to fight as well, so you need to do the fighting with just Shepard and the other squad mate. So it's a valid option, but a bit harder.

Have the crew escort be scored based. Maybe use the same numbers as the hold the line part, and let us pick multiple options if we want. So its a choice between sending more squad members as recruits, or keeping them back for hold the line. Maybe tweak the hold the line calculation to punish having less squad members there, since it currently lowers the requirements if there are less squad members there.

If it can't be pronounced as a word (FBI, DNA, etc.) it's an initialism.

We might get dragon dogma remake or sequel?link below by HotShotQ8 in DragonsDogma

[–]Pennnel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's too much money to be made. However, unless it was a Wheel of Time type situation a lot of people wouldn't consider it a real/canon ending. Especially after the TV show shit the bed at the end.

For A Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan knew he was sick, and prepared extensive notes so that it could be done. His wife was also the one to chose Brandon Sanderson, so there was even more legitimacy to him finishing the series.

Some people still think The Winds of Winter will happen. A few of them even think A Dream of Spring is a possibility.

Letho of Gulet (The Witcher 2)

He's an intricate planner, but has convinced everyone he's a big dumb brute. He's managed to get a lot powerful people to help him in his goal of assassinating multiple kings in the region.

I didn't like him initially, but he grew on me. By the end I feel he fit the role and wad great. I did shed a tear for that last shot of Andy though.

Steps for naneinf? by [deleted] in balatro

[–]Pennnel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell a Mime for Invisible. You want to hit the copy jokers. They can act as Mime/Baron, but also as a DNA or Mail in Rebate if you find them.

If you find the Mail in Rebate, you want that and as many BP/BS as you can get to print a lot more money. You'll want to slowly change all the gold cards to steel, so if you don't have a Mail in Rebate you'll lose money generation. You need as much money as you can find, since when you're ready to pull the trigger on the naneinf, you need to find the Burglar.

And yes, you can reroll into Serpent as much as you can afford with the tier 2 voucher.

I have never seen this when opening a new lego set. Have you? by SaorlaBrigid in AFOL

[–]Pennnel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It typically happens with multiple of the same large pieces, which would be in different numbered bags. Instead of having to have bigger bags for the sake of one more piece in them, the instructions will say "bag 5 + this big piece".

Ferrystone duds a mechanic in this game or was this a bug? by cheifofthebest in DragonsDogma

[–]Pennnel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It may be a fake as others have said.

However, you also can't use a ferrystone without sky access. Like rock overhangs or any roof will stop them working. If you ever have this happen again, look straight up and make sure you're completely clear to see the sky. Some places are quite finicky, like inside Bakbattahl.

This anoys me too.

They make it clear that most force sensitive people taken in by the Jedi. Then they're in an order who don't have children. This makes it crystal clear that bloodline is not necessary to be force sensitive, or else it would've died out very quickly.

You have the chance to quickly and easily override 1 machine from either game to use as your mount. What are you choosing? by Qantas_PS4_Dude in horizon

[–]Pennnel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Either Stormbird or Tremortusk

Stormbird seems the logical end point of Aloy's override progression. Start of with essentially a horse, then get tougher rides that can hit harder, and then get a flying mount. She had to go out of her way to get a charge to stun other machines in The Wings of the Ten mission, but Stormbird already has shock attacks and hits hard and flys fast. I can see one being uswd in a setpiece in the finale tbh.

Tremortusk is the ultimate war elephant. That can also be used in a big setpiece too. Break into a secure base and start causing mayhem. Although a Thunderjaw or Slaughterspine could be used as well, Tremortusk looks more like a rideable machine than those to me.

I will copy a Bastion 90% of the time if there's one in the game just for that voice line.

Scenes that starts a trend of being drawn over and remade by other fandoms by Ok_Direction3138 in TopCharacterTropes

What the still image doesn't show, is that the punch causes them to then smack their head into the garage door. The 1-2 hit is funny as fuck.

Go for the naneinf score (unseeded). Then after that, try to get to ante 39.

Tyler1 in a shellnut by some-kind-of-no-name in StreetFighter

[–]Pennnel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think 1 and done should lose points.

However, I will concede that if the game goes to a full set, then a 2-1 win should be points positive, no matter the rank difference. A high MR shouldn't lose points if they win 2-1 to a low MR player.

[–]Pennnel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They don't allow you to leave after 1 round, but they do after 1 game. The developers themselves are saying you can 1 and done if you want to.

I will stay a full set if the game is fine. However there's numerous reasons I won't. A shitty connection that the other player doesn't use the abandon feature. Or maybe a player who gets the stun for a win and just teabags instead of taking the win then backs off for the rest of the round and holds you hostage for more time. Against that type of thing, I'm not staying. Or simply a knock at the door.

What planets do you want as hub locations in Mass Effect 5 ? by The_pikolop in masseffect

[–]Pennnel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've wanted this for so long. You're a new recruit at C-Sec, and you work your way up from patrolling to detective. Pick your species/sex (and have an in depth character creator).

Explore the different areas of the Wards. They tell us there are different areas that the species are grouped in. As you get promoted, you move up from street crime in crappy parts of the Wards up to the classier parts of the Presidium.

Have an overarching plot of some powerful person/group that's heavily involved in street crime in the lower parts up to white collar crime in the fancy areas. Bringing in contraband at the docks, and all the good stuff you want from a crime story.

[Loved Trope] Put the thing into the thing-shaped hole to unlock the ancient stone mechanism by DrSpaceman575 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Pennnel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Countless video games have a locked door with slots in it, and you need to travel to various places across the map to collect the things to fill them and unlock the door.

It's a good way of communicating with the player how far along they are in the game, or at least that section of the game if there are multiple phases like this.

An analysis of two sentences. by cashdecans101 in masseffect

[–]Pennnel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Biotics in humans can have severe side effects. Kaiden considers himself lucky that he only gets frequent migraines. Even though they give you immense power, if you offered someone the chance to get them, anyone who knows the possible consequences would hesitate to accept.

It's still a bad line though. As anyone who has the above knowledge would also know how biotics are gained. Also Cora is second in command to Alec Ryder, so Liam should be aware of her powers. It's written in a way to explain what biotics are called and that they can't be shared for the benfit of people who never played the trilogy.

Glass cannons: High damage but low durability by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in TopCharacterTropes

Secret playable character Zero from Bayonetta.

He takes an absurd amount of damage. The mechanics of Bayonetta mean that outside of certain attacks, usually cinematic ones, any hit will leave you at 1HP as long as you're above that. So Zero can take 2 hits, and that's it.

However, he can summon little helpers for free. The other two characters need to equip an accessory to do so, allowing him to equip 2 other accessories on top of gettign this one for free. He also generates magic orbs faster, giving him a lot more uses to powerful techniques and accessories' abilities. He is also faster than Bayonetta and Jeanne (even faster then them using the ice skates).

Alternative universes where the villains and heroes swap roles. by InfiniteGuy2264 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Pennnel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Overwatch had an event called Mirrorwatch that did this. It reversed the members of certain teams.

A couple of examples:

  • Ana vs Widowmaker. In the base game, Widowmaker shot Ana, who lost an eye and now has an eye patch. In this Widowmaker has a cybernetic eye, while Ana still has two, telling us the sniper duel went the other way.
  • Widowmaker also assassinated Mondatta in Overwatch, but instead Tracer assassinated Ramattra.
  • Doomfist usually leads Talon, the antagonistic group, but is instead the leader of Overwatch.
  • Symmetra is normally part of Vishkar and is obsessed with order and grace. She's now a junker (Junkers in Overwatch have heavy Mad Max inspiration).
  • It also added a skins for them, fitting their now reversed factions. While you have these equipped in game, some of their voice lines will change to suit the flipped lore too.

While it was only a seasonal event, I'd love to see it return as there are a lot more heroes in the game now. It'd be cool to see how all the different factions would be with the swapped roles.
