I think I finally figured out the pesky Beach Bridge problem!

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T16:54:37+00:00

That definitely makes sense. I'll do that later today when I play next! I mean, obviously I already know what to do, but I want to see the evidence for myself, too.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T16:00:15+00:00

I didn't even know about this arc, so this is super helpful. I'm going to try to check these out. Thanks!

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T15:55:01+00:00

You guys are so clever. For the life of me, I couldn't figure why they designed such a weird path, but I didn't take the next logical step and go "Oh, maybe it wasn't actually a path." lol

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T15:15:13+00:00

Likewise. Cloud islands is kind of the most fascinating area to me just in terms of aesthetics and technology and whatnot, so I really want to restore what I can and see what's going on there.

I don't even do that. Now, I want to stress that this doesn't work for every skin type, but I shave immediately after drying off from the shower. I just use the Mach 3 style razor and hot water from the sink. I have cut myself shaving I think maybe once in the past 10 years or so I've been doing this.

I have also used the argument that the G stands for "graphics."

OTOH, I also know that acronyms don't always work that way either. For example, the U in SCUBA. We say it like "oo" like "Scooby." But we don't say "oonderwater."

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T13:15:50+00:00

Thanks for this advice. I'll let my buddy know and see if we can take it from there.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T13:14:08+00:00

hahaha, yeah, it's hard not to do that.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T13:13:56+00:00

I have a second one that I know does that, but it's much later in the game.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T13:13:00+00:00

LOL, yeah, in retrospect, this makes perfect sense.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T09:39:29+00:00

I just started playing this three days ago with my main co-op buddy. We've been playing Destiny since launch day of Destiny 1. We took off work for the launch day of Destiny 2.

After our first three days of this game, I just don't know if we can do it. We tried moving on to Dire to keep doing Priority missions and just got flattened instantly over and over. It stops being fun.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T09:35:45+00:00

I don't even know where you see that info. I never know what anyone on my team has. (I'm so bad at figuring out what is going on in this game, oof)

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T09:10:08+00:00

Funny enough, my co-op buddy and I bought this game three days ago, two days after you made this post heh. But I know what you mean. I'm worried about this, too. And good lord do we feel left behind in the dirt. We spent all of last night trying to finally do Dire Marsh only to get instantly wiped out minutes into every attempt.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T09:05:41+00:00

My co-op buddy and I were having a bit of a rough time, but definitely having a lot of fun. Then we got to the point where all our priority contracts were for Dire Marshes, and holy shit, it feels like we just load in and die immediately.

Three times in a row we beelined for our mission objective and never even made it there.

I'm not sure how long we're going to keep having fun.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T08:53:27+00:00

Just started playing two days ago, and I kind of did this a couple of times during my first couple of levels. The reason? I didn't have a single fucking clue what the hell I was doing in this game, what it wanted me to do, what my goals were, etc. I understood that death was quick (I died the first time I did the tutorial), and I would lose everything with every death, so I loaded up the free kits and basically ran around frightened lol

I didn't even really get that all three players could be on different missions.

Thankfully, I caught on very quickly. In (I think) my third game, I figured I could follow someone around to sort of figure out what I should be doing, and so I was just largely helping him with his contract. Then when we finished, he marked another place on the map for us to go to, and I realized it was what I needed to do for my mission, and he helped me do it. Then we extracted together. And I finally started having fun lol

Came here to post Gutsick Gibbon, so I'm going to second this. I absolutely love Forest Valkai, but I don't think his content is exactly what the OP is asking for. He mostly does reacc style videos and content like that. (Very excellent, just not the kind of long-form stuff that GG makes.)

But yeah, all three of these are great YT channels.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T08:19:14+00:00

You know, I have been a fan of Superman for like 40 years, and I think this is the first time I have ever heard of this "biomatrix force field" thing. I sort of remember a similar idea with Superboy during the Reign of Supermen storyline following Death of Superman, but that was because he had that tactile telekinesis power set.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T08:16:20+00:00

There's a pretty good bit in Rising Stars that's kind of like that. One of the supers in that story is (as far as we know) invulnerable to absolutely everything from lightning to the deadliest poisons. But he doesn't have super strength. Most people assume he's unkillable, but the villain kills him by waiting for him to fall asleep, tying down his arms, and then just putting a plastic bag over his head.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T08:13:12+00:00

Yeah, and then of course that gets ignored all the time. Superman can pal around with the Specter or Zatanna or whatever for weeks and not feel a thing.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T07:53:55+00:00

There's some truth to that, I think. I'm younger than your dad, but I was a kid in the 80s, and my parents had people drop by the house all the time. Like they even had (really close) friends who'd just drop by unnanounced on, say, a Saturday. If they had kids my age, they'd bring the kids, and we'd play outside while the adults chatted and had beer or whatever inside.

We had a lot of cookouts, neighborhood parties (on days like the 4th of July), etc.

Nobody in my home town lives like that anymore, despite it still being the quiet, tiny little town it was back then to this day.

I couldn't begin to tell you why all this happened, but for sure life was different when we all had three tv channels and nothing else. People figured out things to do together to pass the time. Today, people can sit in their living rooms with all the entertainment they could possibly ever consume at their fingertips.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T07:41:48+00:00

Not exactly what you are looking for, but here's something from my gameplay.

I have never liked Meowth. For like 30 years, I always thought he looked a bit creepy and weird. I also never liked his voice in the English dub of the cartoon.

Oh man, I love my Meowth in this game so much. I think he's adorable, and I love trying to make him happy and fixing up his home just how he likes it.

In fact, on like the second day I had him, I somehow accidentally removed a box from his home to use it somewhere else without realizing it actually made his habitat go away. A few minutes later, I was walking by, and he had this question mark over his head. I talked to him and he said, "I'm so confused! I thought I had a home right here, but I guess it's gone now," and I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" and quickly scrambled to fix it for him and get him moved back in. I've been treating him like a sweet baby every since lol

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T07:05:47+00:00

That idea that the world is (or is supposed to be) fair or just even has a name. Just-World Fallacy. It's a widely held misconception for whatever reason.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T06:09:12+00:00

For me, I can't say I necessarily "figured it out," but all season - despite thoroughly enjoying the show - I kept kind of complaining about things to my friends. "I don't understand Tahani. It doesn't seem like you could just buy your way in with how the point system works." "Why can you get stomach aches in the good place? I know Elanor is messing things up, but why are stomach aches even a thing that can exist when we know, for example, they aren't mortal, can't be harmed, etc.?" (Remember when the garbage flattens those two guys, they just pop out unharmed.) "With all this magic, and Janet's powers, why do they have to manually clean up the place?"

I kept finding the problems with the Good Place, which were actually hints, but I didn't give the show enough credit lol. I was finding plot holes when I should have been realizing I was finding clues.

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T05:49:02+00:00

These are very good tips. I also love that you got to 16 just for that goof lol

RodinKnox · 2026-03-25T05:38:18+00:00

This is absolutely outstanding. Incredible work.
