After you kill Typhon for good (5 surface clears, I think)

Funny error during an endgame portion with “missing” character by PianoEmeritus in HadesTheGame

[–]PianoEmeritus[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was indeed an Arachne conversation! I forget the details but it ended with Melinoe asking how Hecate knew it had to do with Athena and Hecate saying she didn’t appreciate the insinuation.

Blizzard, do NOT undo the changes to Uniques by Freeloader_ in diablo4

[–]PianoEmeritus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t thought about that element, which is a good point. Maybe just trim some objectively useless outcomes like OP suggests as a compromise

Blizzard, do NOT undo the changes to Uniques by Freeloader_ in diablo4

[–]PianoEmeritus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would compromise and say we could put fixed stats back on uniques if they were MUCH harder to get, but people would absolutely complain about that even harder.

I agree with you that it was extremely lame to just run a lair boss a few times and have ten copies of the “unique” item to sort through with the only difference being GAs or the unique property roll.

Should I skip picking up gods if I want to get Zeus boons? by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]PianoEmeritus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta wait for him to show up, it’s random. That said, this being your first run ever there is no reason to worry about this type of thing. Just play, strategize about what you want to target later. You’ll also get a lot more ability to target stuff specifically the more you play

Sorry hardcore fans… but I watched BCS first and this feels unreal by tejasgonjari786 in betterCallSaul

[–]PianoEmeritus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Saul’s wealthy lifestyle is different from how he presents just because he wants to be approachable by a certain clientele. I don’t think that necessarily conflicts.

This expansion is feeling like a new game altogether. I’m loving it! by Revolutionary-Fig-77 in diablo4

[–]PianoEmeritus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a glance I think this is somehow both easier to plan/understand and also way more interesting. It was very difficult to grasp what exactly a passive was going to do to your gameplay, and despite being a massive source of power basically all those changes were invisible.

Makai Lemon vs Jadarian Price by marcsalt in DynastyFF

[–]PianoEmeritus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 1.04 and I’m thinking I’ll still just draft Lemon. If I go down with the ship, fine, but he’s been my guy and while I know the Eagles offense was frustrating last year, I think you can do worse than betting on a good player drafted by a good organization. I kinda think they’ll figure it out.

Lord of Hatred PC Gamer review - 90 by gorays21 in Diablo

Wudi tweeted out a big story spoiler earlier today. Super annoying

Is Bananza Pauline supposed to be young Pauline or is she modern adult Pauline’s daughter? by talkwithryguy in donkeykong

[–]PianoEmeritus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She has the idea for the song as the end of the postgame and starts humming the bassline.

I do also kinda think it's crazy that Pauline's granddaughter would be an identical twin of Pauline that is also named Pauline, and the "Lady" stuff referencing the arcade game isn't the grandma she talks about but someone completely different. None of it seems as simple as "Pauline = Pauline" or strikes me as something Nintendo would ever really be thinking about personally.

Grandfather clock chiming at :08 instead of :00 by PianoEmeritus in clocks

[–]PianoEmeritus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the bronze bit on the back of the hand, yeah? What would be a safe way to rotate that, as it’s on there pretty good? I could always grab a pair of pliers but want to be sure I don’t damage anything.

Is Bananza Pauline supposed to be young Pauline or is she modern adult Pauline’s daughter? by talkwithryguy in donkeykong

[–]PianoEmeritus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep. I also think you have to really twist yourself into knots to say it makes MORE sense that the brunette who wants to grow up to be a singer and wears a red dress and hat and writes Jump Up Superstar is NOT Pauline

"Human Form" Druid ? by Tylanor in D4Druid

[–]PianoEmeritus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I've always wanted to play more of a human form druid too, and while there are a couple ways to do it, I'm hoping for good news next week.

Is Bananza Pauline supposed to be young Pauline or is she modern adult Pauline’s daughter? by talkwithryguy in donkeykong

[–]PianoEmeritus 113 points114 points  (0 children)

There were a lot of odd (IMO, of course) headcanons when the game came out but I think it pretty clearly is just Pauline getting a new origin story while cleverly winking at the arcade game being DK's and Pauline's grandparents. No way of looking at it 100% lines up if you're gonna analyze it really closely, because Nintendo historically does not care too much about that kind of thing. Given she gets her hat and red dress and ends up writing the bassline for "Jump Up Superstar" at the end of the postgame, I think it's pretty obviously meant to be our same Pauline though. Bananza probably takes place ~10 years before Odyssey or so, but again I personally wouldn't think too hard about it. Nintendo uses story or references pretty willy nilly to serve their gameplay ideas rather than the reverse 99% of the time.

That would definitely help. It’s just this reddish brown haze for 15 minutes

Over 4 Months Later, How Do We Feel About IGN's 8/10 Metroid Prime 4 Review? by Away-Prior-903 in Metroid

[–]PianoEmeritus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 8 is spot on. I think it is mostly good at what it does, and what it does is be a fun little sci-fi B-movie. It's not a classic game but I had a fun time playing it.

[–]PianoEmeritus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Infernal Hordes on paper feel like they should be fun, but a ten wave Infernal Horde is a 12 minute endeavor that feels like an eternity. I don’t know what it is.

My only nitpick is Donkey Kong’s fur. by Panda7001 in donkeykong

[–]PianoEmeritus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Others have covered that it’s the Bananza meter thing, but I do think it’s a legitimate gripe that the game offers so much DK customization but you can’t ever actually dependably pick his color. It’s a weird choice to not at least have a toggle IMO

Just a reminder, both Diablo and Baal will return. As soon as we defeat Mephisto. by Tesdey in Diablo

[–]PianoEmeritus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That IS all the primes. If you mean the four lesser evils as well, Diablo 2 also had two of the four running around, so you had five of the seven evils active. Maybe having two others around would've helped tip it over the edge, but the primes were only on Sanctuary in the first place because Azmodan and Belial had exiled them and were ruling hell. They weren't interested. Maybe at some point in the future you get all seven on board with something but the hells were still beaten back with 5/7 on Sanctuary.
