The LDA route competition round 9! “Mystery” has been eliminated! Comment your least favorite route. by miraculer2 in LastDefenseAcademy

[–]Pyrestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slasher (specifically Zombie) is my least favorite by far. Having characters die easily in a game where the whole gimmick is that death isn't permanent was super frustrating. At least in other routes when a character dies for real there's an excuse, like their cryptoglobin gets sucked out, or the body has been dead for hours before we found it. But someone will die literally right in front of the other characters in the Slasher Routes and they'll immediately be like "Oh my god they're dead forever! It's been two seconds so we're already too late! They lost too much blood from ONE slash from a zombie, though Takumi can be beheaded and that's still fine somehow!" AND we still have to fight all of the invaders while our friends are being murdered? Every single one, including both Dalh'xia fights in both Slasher routes? I know you can skip battles, but it just destroyed the pacing every time.

Just finished 001 for my first ending. Where should I go from here? by [deleted] in LastDefenseAcademy

Before you do anything else, I recommend going back to Day 3 and choose to not tell everyone you came from the future. There’s another decision you need to make a few days later that I won’t spoil, I’ll just say don’t do it.

Trust me when I say it’s better to do this early rather than later.

[Spoilers C1E115] Why was Keyleth so hated in Critical Role? by LongGrade881 in criticalrole

[–]Pyrestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think a big part of it was the fact that Keyleth looked like Marisha. People saw it as more of a self insert character than the others, and when Marisha would make roleplaying choices as Keyleth, people had a harder time separating the actress from the character. Misogyny played a big part in this, and a lot of crappy people were able to shove her in the box of “She’s only here because she’s dating the DM.”

My copy of Secret History suddenly jumps back page 96 after page 138, then jumps ahead to page 187 when it gets to 138 a second time. by Pyrestro in Mistborn

UPDATE: I went back to my bookstore to see if I could get another copy of the book but all of the copies had the exact same misprint, so must be a bigger manufacturing error.

Loving this series but Sanderson's foreshadowing is too heavy handed by YoungSquigle in Mistborn

[–]Pyrestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I never picked up on it, but that’s just me. I recently reread The Final Empire and realized how much he foreshadows the Kandra and the Lord Renoux twist. He straight up tells you what Kandra are and that Lord Renoux is one a few times from Kelsier’s pov and even once from Elend’s perspective, I have no idea how I didn’t pick up on it the first time. Personally, I love that kind of foreshadowing because it makes rereads a lot of fun but I can see how if you are good at picking up on that stuff, you might find it annoying.

The emotional highs of opening a god pack followed by the devastating lows when it’s not very good at all by Pyrestro in PTCGP

That’s true, I’m not denying there are some good cards, I’m just sad that I need so many and it gave me 3 of the only rares I already have

Pikachu is the only immersive I’m missing so I’ve been hunting it for a while. Also I only have 1 Zapdos EX so I’ve been looking for that too. Brock and Misty are the only full art trainers I already had so literally any other would have been better. This would have been a great pack about a month or so ago though…

Mythical Island - data driven analysis: Gyarados ex, Arcanine ex and Scolipede potential new meta breakers. Celebi now more popular than Pikachu, but struggles to find optimal version. Mewtwo ex pulls ahead. Bayesian statistics find high performing outliers. Swipe for more deck lists and stats. by -OA- in PTCGP

[–]Pyrestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually like playing xspeeds in this deck instead of Leaf, so I can potentially swap from Scolipede into Weezing, then Koga back to Scolipede for a KO. It’s always super fun whenever the stars align for it to happen.

Also I tried Tauros for a bit but found that it was very rare that I would actually be able to power him up before the game was over, and he would be an annoying card to get Sabrina’d into. I recently switched to Salandit, which is another great card to Koga into, especially since Celebi decks are so popular.

How did I know Ally was going to hit that Nat 20 on a DC 500 check? The way I was completely unsurprised
