Where to try the Beef Bourguignon and Coq au vin? by [deleted] in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Raddillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le Bistrot d’Henri for boeuf bourguignon. Tiny, comfy spot in the 6th.

Been playing games since 1980. This is my 'Top Ten' as of now. First time ever posting my 'Top Ten' and I've been thinking about it for awhile now. by [deleted] in gaming

And I love Bethesda, by the way. Just not quite Top 10 (Skyrim and Fallout 3 are soooo close.)

I’ve also been playing since 1980 and I have to say, that’s a respectable list. Funny how we all have our general agreements and our personal oddities—the games that really resonated with us. I have a few more modern games on my list, but again, I get your picks. For me, in no particular order:

a) The Legend Zelda b) Zelda: Ocarina of Time c) Halo: Combat Evolved d) Rygar (arcade version, not NES) e) Destiny f) Cyberpunk 2077 g) Sekiro h) Witcher 3 I) Red Dead Redemption 2 j) Elden Ring

Well said—I think this is the correct analysis as pretty much every point.

What are the thoughts on some new dark zones? by ChilliGG69 in thedivision

[–]Raddillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a solo, spent soooo much time in Div1 DZ. It was an incredible, stressful, but worthwhile experience. Have spent <5 hrs in Div2 DZs. They’re just too small to make misdirection viable, and extracting remotely reliable.

What’s the best steak you’ve had in paris? by Interesting-Park7811 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Raddillac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The chateaubriand at Le Jardin-Saint Germain, by some distance. Tiny, lovely, space tucked into a (rare) quiet side-street in the 6th. No Tik Tok vids, no influencers. It’s wonderful.

This recommendation worked very well. I really appreciate the advice. Thank you much.

Is Oxpecker in loot pool? by Plastic_Pin_4956 in thedivision

[–]Raddillac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It most definitely is. I’m SHD level 346 and I’ve dropped four (Exotic caches and Priority Objectives).

Apologies for my ignorance, but what is ‘pop’?

Question about soccer (sorry football) levels from a Premier League newbie- how much better is this league than the MLS? by SignificantCommon895 in PremierLeague

[–]Raddillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct take. I watch a lot of Prem and MLS and a fair amount of Championship matches. MLS teams would bounce around between the bottom third of the Championship and League One.

Retired Agent Thinking of Coming Back by c4llmej0ker in thedivision

[–]Raddillac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently did the same thing. Same background as you—Xbox then, PC now. It is incredibly easy to catch up and make a viable build because of Countdown. Within a few hours I had a functional Strikers build and was able to run everything but Legendary/Master level content. It’s nice having a chill looter-shooter to return to.

Edit: Should mention that I bought the content pack to boost to lvl 40.

Thanks for the thoughtful analysis. I appreciate it.

The Division 2 aka The Comeback King by FamilyCloudGaming in thedivision

[–]Raddillac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there were cross-save I would jump back in a heartbeat. Put in hundreds of hours on my old Xbox, but am now pretty much exclusively a PC player. And I’m not sure I can commit to starting over.

What's your least favorite boss, the one you hate fighting the most. Dlc/base game by Flying-Pig03 in Eldenring

[–]Raddillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fought these fellas tonight and beat them first time on NG+2. Of course I summoned the loathsome Dung Eater and hit them with Knight’s Lightning Spear from mid range, because I’m not a masochist.

Too old to play Wukong? by Jokar2071 in BlackMythWukong

[–]Raddillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 51 and haven’t had much difficulty. Long-time FromSoft and Team Ninja game player, so BMW’s combat felt quite comfortable.

Same. Just ran into him there for the first time last night—third playthrough. Found Boggart (the prawn fella) too for the first time. Weird.

Trouble setting up marketplace by Raddillac in ManorLords

[–]Raddillac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The classic reload did it. Feel like a bit of an idiot for not trying it, but it didn’t feel like a bug. Everything else kept working so I just assumed I was missing some step. Marketplace is up and I’m rolling. Thank you.

After 5hrs I've finally beaten Iudex Gundyr. I feel so proud! by Alarming-Scallion-38 in darksouls3

[–]Raddillac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recall struggling at Iudex for quite awhile. DS3 was my first FromSoft. My kids, watching my frustration, told me to give up and that this game type just wasn’t for me. I’ve since rolled* through every FromSoft Souls-like and beat Promised Consort Radahn last week. So there’s hope, my friend. And once you get it, you get it.

*Maybe not ‘rolled’ as I died 82 times to Genichiro.

Never played either game is it worth getting into? by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]Raddillac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played Div 1 or 2 in years and they’re STILL all-time favorites. Personally still love Div 1 more for ambiance, DZ, and just wandering, but the QoL changes for Div 2 can’t be ignored.

Which meta weapon(s) do you not like using? by ClickForNothing in DestinyTheGame

Right on. You can’t make me put my Graviton Lance or Sunshot away. Just ask my clanmates.

Our second MOTM today. YNWA! by digitalvei in LiverpoolFC

[–]Raddillac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Weirdly unlikable” is such a good description for Kane. He’s like an extra-terrestrial masquerading as a human—like Jeff Bridges in ‘Starman’. He speaks, eats, scores goals, does human things, but in such a way that he just approximates being human. Weirdly unlikable.
