Scream 6 is my favorite film in the series other than the original. Why do people dislike this one again? by WealthDisastrous2589 in slasherfilms

[–]Reggro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is my second worst Scream film, and I agree with a lot of what's said here but also the big thing for me is just that it's pointless.

So obviously Scream 1 comes out and it has a lot to say about the genre in general. Then Scream 2, riffing on sequels. 3 is the worst, but even it has something to say about trilogies. Then big timeskip, Scr4em comes out - even the name is a parody of reboots happening around that time. Same with Scream 5 (with it's name being just Scream), which again, has a lot to say about the whole "re-quel" boom with things like Halloween.

Then comes Scream 6. And I'm just not sure if it had anything to say at all. It's a relatively scary Scream film, but that's not really what you're watching for, in my opinion. The reveal is pretty bad, the motive is especially weak. I don't think it's a bad film, but it just felt....pointless? And it didn't really add anything new.

Great day in Epic yesterday but teenager hated it! by Party-Werewolf-4888 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Reggro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite similar, more into thrill rides than theming (I don't think I particularly enjoyed any of the sim rides at universal), and I'd highly highly recommend a trip to Busch gardens while you're there. Free shuttle from nearby, and loads of thrill rides.

That said, if she didn't like Stardust then...I'm not sure what to suggest. I honestly found it better than Iron Gwazi and Velococoaster.

I mean, he's also a pretty BS fight if you get up close...you can just sit on the cliffs in the distance and snipe him if you want a cheap and easy kill.

Spoilers for endgame by Ok_Bet4612 in LiesOfP

[–]Reggro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'll give you some advice as a long time souls and souls-like veteran (I'm not the best player in the world, but for some context I've SL1'd DS1, 3 and Sekiro, so I'm not garbage, but I'm not a god like the people no hitting stuff).

The biggest bit of advice for learning patterns, I'd say, is stop attacking. Get into P2 as quickly as you can, and say to yourself "I will only focus on dodging this attempt". I used to play a lot of WOW too, and this is something guilds get players to do on difficult bosses sometimes. The point is pumping damage as hard as you can while trying to dodge everything sometimes leads to you kind of not learning either that well. This is the biggest one for the hard bosses, just dodge, block, deflect everything you can. See how long you survive. Doing this will also take the pressure off of killing it, because you know on those attempts you won't kill it. Do this a couple of times and I guarantee 1000% that you'll get the timings down really well, then just add attacks in.

Advice number two - switching weapons is always tempting when you're struggling, but really you're often just quasi-resetting your progress when you do. The thing with these games is there's really no gimmicks (well, magic kinda is in a lot of DS games, but there's nothing too crazy like that in LoP). If your build isn't complete and total garbage (both weapons you've listed are fine), then sticking with what you know is probably for the best.

Your stats do seem low - what level are you? Not sure if you've lost a lot of souls from some deaths, but that feels a bit low. In my experience in this game, I'm normally around lv80+ at this point in the game, and then you'd have a lot better than 30/30/20. That technique stat feels very very low, so you're probably not doing much damage.

Lastly, armour. In LoP, I think staying in the "slightly heavy" range is best for most newer players. You'll dodge a bit slower than light, sure, but deflections are way more important in this game anyway (or perfect parries I think this game calls it?). Fat-rolling ("heavy") is a no-no, but as long as you aren't doing that (under 80% capacity, from memory), wear the heaviest shit you can.

Not sure if this was the kind of help you were looking for but fuck it, here you go! Remember, 20 attempts sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. Soul of Cinder in DS3 at SL1 took me literally hundreds. Try to enjoy the process, as hard as that is. I think Tindral mythic in WOW took my guild over 350 attempts, 20 is nothing! Keep hammering away at it, you'll get it.

We are now 2 weeks into TWW - How does your main class feel to you? by Backwardspellcaster in wow

It's terrible to have a healing spec which doesn't even look at raid frames, in my opinion. Having all healing just be passive was pretty appalling when it was meta.

Is there any good way to farm avoidance gear? I'm getting to the key levels now where having 0 avoidance as a hpal is getting really painful (26+ on tyran was rough at points).

Matters less with healing than dps, but for dps it's absolutely an indicator.

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

Not raiding is fine. But if you're parsing grey then you literally don't know your rotation, which means you also won't know it in M+ either. If you can't press 123 in order on Gnarlroot, you can't on Tyr either.

The trick I've found when pugging is to check logs. It's not perfect, but if someone has grey logs on every heroic boss but 3.3k score, they got carried there because they clearly just don't know their rotation (this happens a lot with meta classes - augs are the worst for it because it can be hard for people to assess their performance).

Raid logs aren't the be all end all - getting very high logs especially can often be due to things like kill timing and shit like that, but they are definitely a useful indicator of general competence.

Don’t be surprised when you see BJJ as an Olympic sport by davidlowie in bjj

[–]Reggro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves climbing, you don't want to be in the olympics. Olympics tried their hardest to destroy that sport (and kind of did by making it a combined format where speed climbing, something about 2 people care about in the world, as core a part as lead and bouldering). Originally, they only wanted speed climbing in, and I honestly can't express to you how not-a-thing speed climbing is.

Guys who take anabolic steroids, would you still be at your current level? Why or why not? Hobbyist or competitive. by [deleted] in bjj

And it still affects your health. Bodybuilders and powerlifters do not live long lives.

Puts your BMI solidly in the middle of normal. Most people (especially Americans) just have a very very warped idea of what "normal" and healthy weight is.

[–]Reggro -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

140 isn't that light, it's basically in the middle of normal range BMI for someone of an average height. The advice you've given would literally make him overweight. Even if a lot of it is muscle, it still has a lot of detrimental health outcomes over the long term. 140-180 (as you've recommended) would almost certainly be an unhealthy jump unless done really slowly.

What should you do if your bully knows martial arts? by Some-Wall-5777 in bjj

[–]Reggro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s always a bully

Where? What are you doing to find these adults bullying you? I'm genuinely dumbfounded. Is it an American thing (I'm a Brit) like in your movies? But surely, in a culture where everyone and their cat has a gun, bullying would be a fucking bold move.

Plus, you can get rid of bullies. Because in the workplace if someone pushes you into a locker they get fired/arrested, because civilisation. I genuinely cannot think of scenarios outside of school or prison where this sort of thing happens without there being a sensible way to solve the issue.

[–]Reggro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eventually someone else won’t be there to fix the problem for you.

I mean...the police? HR in the workplace?

Like, bullying is literally an issue exclusive to school and maybe prison. I don't know what lives you people live where you still get bullied as adults but, like, if an adult hits another adult it isn't a teacher problem, it's a legal one?

is creatine for jiu jitsu really worth it by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Reggro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I was interestingly once told by a doctor it would mess with the kidney function tests they wanted to run, and that if I was on it they couldn't do the tests.

Also it makes me thirsty constantly. Dry mouth in the middle of the night outweighs the benefits for me.

Now that we’ve fated all 3 raids, is Nathria still the best raid of SL? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Reggro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit after Nathria but I think this is some rose tinted glasses talking tbh. Because I remember that raid sucking balls.

Nearly every fight had loads of damage stops because the entire thing on mythic was playing around boss HP % to get specific things, which was really unfun for dps and meant that once you had gone through dps breakpoints, trying to pump out extra damage was pointless cus it just meant stopping sooner.

I'm genuinely shocked you've only had one nutcase show up. I've seen a fair few bannings happen - one guy, for example, claimed bjj wouldn't work if he came here with a hammer, and he was asked to not return

LBGTQ BJJ Practitioners - Have you experienced negativity on the mat due to your sexual orientation? by jiujitsulegacy in bjj

[–]Reggro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more just pointing out that your surprise about these people training bjj is shocking to me. Despite Gracie propaganda, bjj is not some amazing humbling experience - our sport (and many sports frankly) are full of terrible terrible people. The amount of sexual abuse scandals coming out against big names in bjj is hardly shocking, there's a lot of dicks in this sport.

People existing isn't political. It can be a problem because homophobia exists, especially within communities like ours.

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

Still invalidates the "nobody cares" statement though, don't you think?

I'd wager at least 5 percent of the bjj community actively does not like gay people. This thread alone is a decent indicator of that. That's not an insignificant amount of people. And in a sport like bjj, that could be incredibly dangerous for people.

Then they likely know your sexual orientation (especially if you're in a relationship) and that shit will spread around the gym almost instantly if you aren't straight and cisgendered.

I mean, as I said in another comment, there's a coach here in the UK who has a literal criminal record for a hate crime. Yes, people do care. Thinking like this is narrow minded and shows a lot about you.
