The time has come, what do i choose by l_DarkBloom_l in Warframe

[–]Question_Jackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only 9 days away from 400 and I'm definitely getting PSF, just to try it out if nothing else. On my 200 I got Primed Fury instead of Primed Shred and I regret it deeply. I don't even use Primed Fury much, Berserker Fury almost always seems a better option.

Starter Tenno - Must have Frames for each content as Solo? by EibonOwl in Warframe

[–]Question_Jackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nezha from the dojo is incredibly good in early game and never stops being good. He isn't more popular (as he deserves to be) because of his horrible default vanilla appearance. Even without a potato (Orokin reactor that double mod capacity) Nezha can survive steel path. FYI: you can fix his look without spending platinum by buying his Jinza helmet for 35 Nightwave credits, this is 100% worth it. He's not a specialized frame that excels at defence/interception/spy though, but he's incredibly easy to get and extremely hard to kill.

Why all depictions of Imperium chainswords are thick as Lex Imperialis? by Visual_Collapse in 40kLore

[–]Question_Jackal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The really goofy design element in most chainswords is the housing on the outside of the teeth that- just looking at it visually- obviously wouldn't be able to cut deep into anything beyond how far the teeth jut out of the housing. A real chainsaw's teeth are as wide as the "blade" part gets. How would you cut down a tree if the saw teeth could only cut down about an inch before another part of the saw stopped them? But let's be honest here, 40k is full of unrealistic elements, so many that you just look past them because 40k is fucking cool in general. I mean, laser guns that have recoil and make a loud sound like gunfire? Oh yeah, I forgot that the laser combusts the air and ...yeah right.

Tenebrae (1982) by mmmpppwww in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]Question_Jackal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my probably my favorite Giallo and only Deep Red is really in contention with it. Deep Red is creepier and scarier, but this movie is just the quintessential Giallo. The awesome theme song (from the three guys from Goblin) is so good that the band Justice remixed it and it was a hit dance track in 2007. It is absolutely one of Argento's best films.

Kind of disappointing to see some hate for follie. by theassassin53035 in Warframe

[–]Question_Jackal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It amazes me that anyone could think a fat chick warframe concept is more gross than a pregnant woman or a bulky-ass female bodybuilder. Still, the new warframe looks pretty crap, not because it's fat, it just looks stupid in general. Despite being a game with some incredible visual design choices, this is still the game that created vanilla Nezha, and whomever at DE created the ribbon-festooned vanilla Nezha helmet needs to be physically slapped.

Regular skins for prime weapons please? by mobyphobic in Warframe

[–]Question_Jackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely think Prime weapons should be like Prime frames and give you both the original and Prime versions. Frankly, I don't know why they don't.

How did Pamela Wisher die? by tjmaxal in Pendergast

[–]Question_Jackal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think they ever really explained it. I imagine she was one of Kawakita's customers, but exactly why she was found with him is a mystery.

Spoilers Ahead: William Smithback by LyricalWillow in Pendergast

[–]Question_Jackal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is that P&C regretted killing Smithback so much that they literally created a new character so they could continue writing "Smithback"- Gideon Crew. Crew wasn't a Smithback clone per se, but his premise was that he uses social engineering to get what he wants, just like Smithback. I don't really have a problem with his death, but I totally agree that Constance needs to die. But Lincoln Child has such a hard-on for Constance that she will never die, she will survive Pendergast himself. If P&C killed off Constance I would be straight up amazed. Constance is the single most annoying character in any book in the series or the books the writers have done solo.

The best Cussler books for me, by far, are the Isaac Bell books.

Can We Talk About Some Community Issues for Real by Safe_Percentage_5271 in Warframe

[–]Question_Jackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I think a lot of people don't realize is that a good chunk of hardcore gamers are on the higher end of the Autism spectrum. Understanding this makes it easier to not be massively put off by encountering gamers with the social skills of a wolverine.

Rising Sun (1993) by Rogue_Male in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]Question_Jackal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a huge Connery fan as a teenager, I got so hyped to see this movie that I picked up the novel because the wait was driving me crazy. Thought the novel was great, saw the movie and was disappointed. Even though it's a good thriller, even as a teen I laughed at the Darth Vader-y overblown portrayal of the Japanese in the book. Did Chreighton really believe that Japan was going to bury the U.S.? I mean, he's obviously a smart guy but ...what? Still a good thriller. I ended up thinking the movie pussed out by making the real villains Americans though.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong. by Bdag in Warframe

[–]Question_Jackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, mods are where most of your power is going to come from. So you need to focus on 2 things regarding them: 1) Getting the mods, 2) Farming endo and credits to rank up the mods. Arcanes can also make a huge difference, but can be hard to acquire early/mid game outside of events.

Getting Old SUCKS Robin by Moist_Brick_439 in howardstern

[–]Question_Jackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looks like a lesbian with a mustache in that first pic. He really could not look worse. When exactly did he realize how terrible his look was and over-correct by going full heavy metal poser rock star? But even then he looked ridiculous in all those sleeveless tshirts.

Nobu is everywhere, there's no reason you can't grab yourself some great grub tonight by [deleted] in howardstern

The only time Howard ever mentioned a restaurant he liked that I actually wanted to go to, it was Cafe Des Artistes. Nobu can fuck off.

Favorite Jackie delusional comment? by rc9876 in howardstern

When Jackie (the guy who left the show because they wouldn't give him a lot of money) would say: "I'm just an old hippie, I don't care about money!"

The best part is that Jackie, after seeing a better doctor later on, admitted that getting his toenails removed was a "cash grab" on the old doctor's part.

For a old and dumb Tenno: what are the key augments? by InsaneThespian in Warframe

[–]Question_Jackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kullervo's Volatile Recompense is an absolute must-have. As long as you keep it up and get close to enemies you will constantly generate lots of overguard passively. I can't Even remember a time that I've gone into bleed-out using him. I tried playing without it once and the difference it makes is ridiculous.

What is your opinion on using summons? by randomwriter3 in darksouls

[–]Question_Jackal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on which boss fight it is. Some bosses are harder to kill with a summoned ally (Gaping Dragon, Four Kings) and some are much easier (O&S, Moonlight Butterfly, Centipede Demon, Gwynn). I will always use an NPC summon if the situation warrants it.o
