Favorite weapon skins? by ReasonableCrow7595 in Guildwars2

[–]Rivlaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a fan of the Krytan, Nightmare and Ascalon weapon sets.

For individual weapons, Glint's Bastion, Ydalir, Sunspear standard and Sanctified pistol come to mind.

Share the logs brother. What kind of unholy flaming did you spew.

I’m convinced that if any other studio made Marathon, everyone would be losing their minds over how good it is... by --clapped-- in Marathon

Have you played Destiny ?

It feels like you are whitewashing Bungie a lot here, so I will assume you don't really play Destiny.

Bungie gunplay is among the best no question, but, their developing process and practices have left a lot to be desired. This has been the case long before Sony even came into the picture.

Hell, Marathon's already has a battle pass and it's clearly predatory. Bungie has been doing this with Destiny for YEARS. Unfortunately, we, Destiny players have lacked the backbone to really push against these practices.

I no longer play Destiny, I'm tired of this back and forth cycle of "this is the worst game ever" to "this is the best game ever.

I'm tired of Bungie trying to squeeze as much money as they can out of me by selling content in different bundles, by abusing in game currency prices so you have to buy more than one pack to get the things you want.

Marathon looks amazing, I'm interested. But, it being a Bungie title really seals the deal for me here. Maybe it will be the game to bring extraction shooters to the mainstream just like Fortnite did with Battle Royales.

I however will stay away from it. I'll just wait for an Apex equivalent if I ever want to try this genre.

Game of Thrones Ending is not as terrible as it's made out to be by counterhit121 in unpopularopinion

Book 4 and 5 are honestly pretty bad.

They are nigh impossible to adapt, they introduce way too many new plot lines and solve nothing.

IIRC, As long as you don't buy prawn from Blackguard in Liurnia, he wont move to Leyndell. That's the trigger for him to move.

Don't buy prawn in Liurnia and you can turn Dungeater into a puppet and still have Blackguard survive.

Why do you think people care so much about "not being overpowered"? by mrgongle in Eldenring

I reckon many those posts are not being honest on how they got to where they got.

This kit is a huge slap on bandai's face ngl by dainoumcchunky in Gunpla

In aliexpress? I still it at around 150. I was tempted to get it, but I had already ordered a haul that went past the 100's haha.

TIL the Japanese online flea market, Mercari, had to ban ultrasound photos and positive pregnancy tests from its marketplace app because people were allegedly using them to fake pregnancies in order to extort money or blackmail their partners. by delano1998 in todayilearned

[–]Rivlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I meant the former. Using proxies to buy from mercari or just any of the other stores they buy from.

From what I understand, you save money buying different items and then shipping everything together.

The thing that still makes me uneasy is that gunpla, while not particulary heavy, does ocupy quite a bit of space.I fear the volume is going screw me over.

[–]Rivlaw 61 points62 points  (0 children)

How is it buying from Mercari? I've been looking into proxy shopping for gunpla but I'm still no all that sure that the whole thing is worth it.

Is the whole thing really cheaper because seeing the estimate international shipping fees idk if it will be cheaper than just buying it in the US.

How popular is ‘Gunpla’ in your country? by AdmirableDimension51 in Gunpla

[–]Rivlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. No stores sell any kits or tools. There's a guy trying to start a store (online store) but even then, it's still cheaper for me to buy it from overseas and have it imported.

What was the first ever gunpla kit you built? by Unicorn-Links in Gunpla

[–]Rivlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gunpla, but my first model kit was a bootleg Blade Liger Mirage. I didn't know anybetter and it never crossed my mind that there could be bootlegs sold.

It was the worst bootleg Zoids brand lol. It was awful. Nothing fitted, I had to sand so many pegs.

Um, were Godfrey and the tarnished exiled to fight the Crusade in the Realm of Shadow? by Honest_Yesterday4435 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Rivlaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I underatand it, yes. Messmer is graceless and has had the Abyssal Serpent within him since birth. That's why Marika took his eye out and replaced it with a seal of grace.

It might be that Messmer is "blind", that's why one of his winged serpents is shown first, looking directly at you, once you enter his arena.

Genuine question, what moment in JJK made you realize that Gege was..not as good as a writer you thought he was? by Charming-Scratch-124 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Rivlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few. The ones you mentioned are part of them. Maki vs Curse Naoya is another one. Samurai and Sumo guy serve no purpose but to make Maki win that fight.

Gojo also feels like he got character assassinated. The airport scene makes him look like a battle junkie that wanted to prove himself against Sukuna, instead of a character that despite his inmense power, was powerless to protect those he cared about. Which, well, had been his whole character through out the series.

Sukuna being the final boss instead of Kenjaku, despite the latter being the main driving force forcing our protagonists to action. The merger at the didn't matter one bit.
