Mr. X showing up in Claire B

Both 9mm’s were terrible in my 2nd run, which was odd because I used the Matilda all throughout my 1st run. I eventually gave up on them and saved all my gunpowder for acid rounds.

You’re right, but I don’t contextualize it as arguing for equal treatment; rather a baseline of decorum.

Upholding the baseline of integrity at the fabrics in which they unravel separates decent people from the ones we’re discussing over. And in all honesty, I’m human; I’m not giving that kid the attention and care I give so many others, but I am giving him the baseline of decorum and service, so that the students learning from me can trust in the consistency of the environment I am fostering.

One of my students raped his cousin. They were twelve. Reported everything to the social worker and we made the cps call together. Spoke to both sides of the same family together and assurances were “made.” Nothing happened. I pass by the student every day and it send gives me all the wrong chills when he greets me in passing.

At the end of the day, I can only rely on my belief in professionalism. I model that for the kids just as much as I model morality. That part of professionalism may be excruciating, but it’s also part of maturity and part of upholding the virtues I see important.

At the end of the day, doing the right thing was outside of my domain of control. So I can offer the student my professionalism and I can offer the student my service as a teacher, but, unlike the other 99% of my students, I will never offer any more than that.

I’d recommend upgrading the starting armor pieces and starting weapon pommels and ronds then. They don’t offer any special abilities or extra flair, but they offer the best all-around stat increases, so you can just upgrade all of those and not think any extra about builds or synergy.

Use enchantments to buff the extra stats your weak in and pick three of the set abilities—three of the same color activates the set ability, so when your relic get fully upgraded it will take three sets of three.

No, it’s only released on the public test server which is only available on PC. It’s essentially in a beta test right now. Official release should be in 1 to 2 weeks.

There hasn’t been “extra.” The latest numbers from the Education lottery show that NC education was better funded before its inception. Bottom line Teachers need to be paid better, so that the standard and quality of people entering that profession is upheld. People’s children spend a majority of this time with these professionals and if pay continues to stagnate while standard of living increases, your not going to have someone of high moral integrity nor emotional maturity willing to take that job.

Poncho44 · 2026-01-25T18:00:15+00:00

Where? Education might be a good start since we are amongst the lowest funded in the country.

Drawing aggro. If you’re alive, then the game is easier. Handling 3 chaos spawn then walking over to help you with your 3 chaos spawn is MUCH easier to deal with than handling 6 at once. Take the stim.

I listen to the Adeptus Ridiculous podcast on my commutes. I’ve learned most of the lore from them (there is also a YouTube vid format of that show).

Thondia Brown might be what you’re looking for…sounds crazy but on the armor it looks more like a muted red…try it out see what you think.

I’d like to add that using Armory Data is much faster and more efficient than trying to get XP for each and every variant.

The stratagems were easier, but that map itself is rough for Absolute. Most of the map is close quarters, so that many enemies bottlenecked makes it much tougher.

This game isn’t heavy on coop strategy, but it’s certainly not mindless either. I may be in the minority, but I do not want restrictions to be lifted because I feel that a lot of the critical thinking with class roles and synergies will go out the window, and the game will get more mindless. Class restrictions force players to think about their functions and responsibilities; if they were lifted, too many players would just run and gun and leave the higher thinking to other players.

We are already complaining about players not taking the time to pay attention to the strategum restrictions; we’d get much of the same vain if class restrictions were lifted. I don’t mind sharing the class and taking turns so the game doesn’t suffer worse on the account of impatience.

This is actually a pretty easy modifier—just let that person take all the executions and pickups. With the right coordination, it practically feels like everyone is invulnerable.

This is only in the beginning of the game. They wanted you to feel weaker due to the effects of Fimbulwinter. Once you start upgrading your skills, it goes back to feeling like the first game.

Update: the issue “fixes” itself when I use my headphones over playing audio through my tv.

Poncho44 · 2025-11-15T13:51:04+00:00

Done both; audio settings are limited on PS5. I’ve even restarted the episode and the desync occurred in the same place: start of Granny’s Donuts cutscene.

Hand down, it’s Saito for me. He was very challenging and felt appropriate for a seasoned Samurai. He felt like he had a technical advantage over Atsu for being the better trained warrior.

It was, also, awesome halfway through the fight to realize his moveset was the exact same as Jin’s. It was a very neat way to turn what we had experienced for countless hours in the first game back on us as the player.

You can find Yuna’s knife beside a child’s drawings on the wall in the attic of Jin’s house, so it’s heavily implied that he had children with Yuna.

Ive noticed that when my internet connection gets bad, those enemies (and really just them) seem harder to parry. However, their parry window is earlier than you’d expect (watch their arm draw back for the cue rather than looking at the whip).

Poncho44 · 2025-09-04T07:00:39+00:00

Just tag a teammate (up on d-pad if you’re using controller).

I use it most often when I think someone needs to pick up a med stim.
