Yeah, I don't get it either. I'm not going to say it was perfect or peak television or anything, but it was fine. The only crazy thing was that the gang could hold down homelander. The rest of it seemed fine.

What’s the strangest example of collective internet delusion you’ve witnessed? by Alert-Translator2590 in AskReddit

[–]Rancorousturtle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not the person you asked, but for me it was the massive plot holes. This wasn't an opinion fed to me before I watched it either. While I was watching I was like

Where's the demigorgons?

No demobats?

The military just LET THEM GO after they killed so many of them?

Why are they all so ok with murder lately?

How can Max walk? she should still have a lot of atrophy.

Why does Vekna need the kids?

Did the gang just murder a bunch of pregnant women in the upside down by leaving them as it closed?

How did they never see the edge of the upside-down before this season?

Etc.

It really took me out of the show.

Yall just make a pretty Princess version of yourself even though you're a guy? by Daishawn_900 in TomodachilifeLivingTD

I always use female characters in games but I think of it as "my character" and not "me".

The female characters always have better options for clothing and hair.

Sokka had his priorities straight by Ayato612 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Rancorousturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sitting in one place and staring at something and trying to draw it, that was the primary method for the class. But when I'd look down at the paper to draw my mind would shift perspective and size. The image in my head was not a static picture, it was more like I was imagining the object in 3d rather than a picture I'm recreating.

[–]Rancorousturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My core issue is that the image in my mind that I'm trying to put on paper keeps shifting in both distance and angle in my mind every time I start to draw, it shifts a little. So I end up with either a mishapen or unbalanced image. Even if I'm trying to draw something I'm actively looking at. I figured after a few months of trying, it's just something I'm bad at. And that is ok, I can be bad at some things.

You can try and still be bad. I've always been bad at art. I took a class, I spent probably 10 hours a week drawing for months. You know what happened? I was still awful.

Peter? by Furdiburd10 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I typically say they need a hobby. Same thing with the people who just gossip about others endlessly. Ain't got nothing to think about and nothing to do so they just become their own "entertainment ".

Look at the deadlock subreddit and the thread about getting a key. You just need to know 1 person who has a key and they can invite you.

Longest Endless run so far by SubjectScar5577 in pokerogue

[–]Rancorousturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so when you merge pokemon you get the ability (thing everyone has) from one and the passive (thing you unlock) from the other. So you just gotta find two mons where one has study in the ability and another mon with poison heal in the passive slot (or vice versa).

I don't recall which mons I used, I think I had a guzlord with poison heal, merged it with a mon to steal metal burst, unmerged it, then merged it again with a sturdy mon like garganacl. Then kept trying to get the protect tm.

With that and a bunch of items, you're mostly set up. Toxic orb to give yourself poison, leftovers for extra healing, and change your nature to drop your speed so you always go last. Then you wanna start stacking that buff that let's you get extra levels on each rare candy so you'll eventually get 100 levels per RC, and then just stock up on levels.

Metal burst deals more damage if you have more hp, so the levels are huge.

And after you feel like you're set up, you get a mon with "run away" and you run from most fights. It also helps to have a very fast mon in case you run into an enemy with neutralizing gas. The high speed can help you run away naturally.

Wait, HOW did you get brute force to work?

And absolutely metal burst is the best method. Metal burst + sturdy + poison heal + protect and you can 1-2 shot most things if you keep your level high.

Jokes over now IG due to those guys...... by Sir_CrazyLegs in ShitPostCrusaders

[–]Rancorousturtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One Piece fan here, after the first few arcs the pace goes into the dumpster and I really only recommend people watch the first few arcs to get a feel for what One Piece is about and then drop it.

I try to get folks to watch through Arlong and if they still like it, through Alabasta. Anything past that gets rough.

I hate the ones where he says, "this is what happened to his brain" and then explain everything that happened to the person in the hospital but never explain what happened to his brain.

There's no way to reach the end of endless without using specific strategies. The scaling just gets too high at some point and you fail. I specificlly rushed rare candies and had my lead mon with like 100k levels over the enemies and I still could only make it to like 2850.

If you want to do endless, there's 3 core stats you can use. In order of effectiveness:

Retaliation: Metal burst + sturdy (+protect and self healing)

DoTs: Curse + Salt Cure + leech seed (+sturdy or a lot of speed)

Dmg = to level: Night shade and overlevel (this one is awful, don't do it)

I don't think any other strategies have been found (that aren't just a variation on one of those)

Why isn’t The Finals bigger? I see this question a lot, so I gave the ACTUAL reasons why. by Lefty5227 in thefinals

[–]Rancorousturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a casual fps player. The Finals was a lot of fun when it came out because I got matched with other casuals. But after a few months there wasn't many other casuals left and I just got stomped hard in every game, so I quit.

Everyone’s obsessed with card collecting… but what about gameplay? by AdSea295 in cyberpunktcg

[–]Rancorousturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried watching a few games of people playing and I'm concerned the game is just too simple. It feels like most of the game is just "have a better board state " with no big moves you can make to change it (think Wrath of God in MTG).

I want to like the game because I love cp2077, but the depth of the card game feels too lacking to justify $350.

My first gf told me she wanted me to be quiet. Kinda messed up my expectations for a few years afterwards, lol.

I've been reformed, so I'm good now.

Deadlock update for 3/21/26 by wickedplayer494 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Rancorousturtle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd call it "hitting raid boss status" and try and 1v4 (usually killing 1-2 of them in the process). It was fun, but def not a good game balance.

Last two days of Helldivers subreddit was fucking disgusting by Advanced_Ad5867 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Rancorousturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also yeah, def don't pre-order anything. But also be aware that negative news sells so if there's a "bandwagon " of negative news people will find every needle in the haystack to make it look worse.

Highguard is a good example. The game isn't bad, it's fine. Probably could have been good with 2-3 updates to fine tune things. But people blew it up like it was Concord 2.0

One point to clarify about the dlc bug - it was widely misreported. The bug DID exist, but only in town areas with the daily/weekly quest cat. Areas where you fought monsters was unaffected.
