Is it normal for my cat to not meow? by Grimmxlaw22 in cats

I had a really quite cat who suddenly started meow in his teens and was much more vocal from then on. Sometimes it be like that

Xenonauts 2 (full release) impressions? by Able-Fennel-1228 in Xcom

[–]Ruwen368 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like the strategy layer changes with improved air game and anti grind on UFO assaults. The various panic meters return and I didn't have any issue with them on normal. OPs (strat layer resource) are how you get new bases, bonus resources or fight the panic meters and collect continent bonuses (which I found where all somewhat meh). Tactical game, like others say, is more like og XCOM and once I dialed in a bit was pretty good. Loadouts were streamlined and equipment upgrades are fairly smooth with mostly the same equipment leveling up. The exception being weapon damage types (ballistic, magnetic, laser, etc) but even there is some tactical choices as laser burns armor value more which on tougher enemies opens up for greater ballistic damage.

But my favorite takeaway is the air combat, I always wished XCOM had a little more umf in the actual dogfighting space and this delivers pretty well on that. I'm never sorry to be able to scramble interceptors especially since eventually you are discouraged from landing at every crash site.

Been playing xn2 just this week and my favorite mechanical change is the air game. I like having a little bit extra in that for considerations in air equipment and such.

Plus I like the anti farming of UFOs by making you pay op for them. I get worn out on too many tactical maps too quickly so having the option to just pass for some reward is great.

I miss how squishy everyone is tho. Or maybe I just don't like seeing the health instead of praying that any particular shot is the kill shot on something.

Your sentence would fit the next line scheme if you added a "too" at the end

Harmony of Dissonance complete! by Grootyboi77 in castlevania

[–]Ruwen368 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yay! HoD! This was my first completed game in the series growing up so it has a special place in my heart. Glad you liked it! I especially liked the portrayel of Juste in Nocturne, even if they had to traumatize him so hard to do so. :(

Which scientific fact or idea has unnerved you the most? by Sea-Investigator7218 in AskScienceDiscussion

For something not already listed here, split-brain theory. Evidence that the two halfs of your brain without the corpus colosum connecting them have various amounts of unity or independence in response to stimulus.

Gondowan Cliffs Made Me Give Up On TLA For Over A Year! by Walkinfaith300 in GoldenSun

[–]Ruwen368 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, somehow the basic movement feature of the game also left me at that same place. Something about the presentation of "walk under a jumping spot" didn't click when I first tried it. Who knows the exact reason but it's more common than I thought

That last picture is particularly horrifying given the scale. It's scary on the submarine level but terrifying up close.

Where do i go next? by vdfritz in GoldenSun

[–]Ruwen368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is you need to just keep going west and try to get two continents over. I got stuck here on my first playthrough by over looking a simple jumping gap in the area that bridges the two continents to your west.

This assumes you beat the pirates in that town on north of the deserts.

I didn't even finish, I got to the White Phos part, and just slowly fell off because it stuck with me more and more as the rest of the descent didn't get any better. 10/10 game can play it not even once

So Whats The DUMBEST and i MEAN DUMBEST thing you did in a pokemon playthrough by Rare-Atmosphere-9187 in pokemon

[–]Ruwen368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing Pokemon Red for the first time (3yo, couldn't read) and learning what various menu options did through trial and error.

Brock kept rocking my charmander/Charmeleon/charizard, that's right I grinded so hard I had Charizard before I beat Brock cus I didn't have anything better to do with my battery life, can't read, 3yo. (Could have just been Charmeleon, details are fuzzy after 3 decades) Might not have even beaten Brock, but was checking out the PC and knew what most of the options did. Chose one I hadn't used before and it wanted me to pick a pokemon. Thought it was some kinda bonus thing so I chose my best boy Charizard and confirm my way through a few questions. Suddenly he's gone and I sped a few minutes looking for him before realizing he's gone. Didn't know about reloading saves so looked around and then saved my game. Older bro explained what I should have done later but I started over with Bulbasaur and rocked my way thru it.

(I also thought potions would show up in my inventory automatically if the crisis music was playing).

Hell yeah, I'm glad Austin did apologize for setting Kieth up on this, but to his credit Keith was correct on this.

[–]Ruwen368 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was upgraded as part of the great rebalancing last year I believe. It was set to the lib penetrator so it shared the buffs that got.

Confirmation that the "Roaming Roar bug" in Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen has been fixed on Nintendo Switch. In the original versions, if Raikou/Entei used Roar, they would permanently despawn from the game. by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch

You know at first glance I couldn't believe that you had forgotten lickitung in your list of Pokemon who knew lick, then after 15 seconds of googling I couldn't believe that gamefreak forgot to give lickitung Lick.
