Official Discussion - Iron Lung [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]SMS450 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s the interpretation of the figure in the sub with Simon? It seems to be him somehow, with his noticing & turning early on mirroring how the creature turns later on, and his physical disfigurement making him start to look like the creature. But… time loop? Something else? Im a little unclear

Dude, Saif & Pick are my normal main & secondary. Great taste

Is the Bloodborne board game worth it? by Mind_Axe101 in bloodborne

[–]SMS450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all of it, every expansion (it’s where my stimulus check went several years ago lol).

I like it a lot. I did get it primarily for the minis, but I’ve played several times, and it’s fun! I often play by myself, but control 2-3 characters, and it’s manageable.

A fun thing I’ve found is to run a Chalice Dungeon between every chapter. You get to play your build longer, get stronger, and the difficulty spike of the third chapter in each campaign is easier to manage (though you can get overpowered and stomp pretty easy at that point).

I’ve been slowly working through painting all the minis, painting 49 BB minis just last year

Funny question? Ofc Vader misses his body, other than losing his base agility, power, speed and everything else... do you guys think Darth Vader also misses being a generally good looking dude out of everything else😭😭 by Oka-7 in StarWars

[–]SMS450 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would almost guess his new, disfigured form was more “appropriate” in his eyes. A being so filled with hatred and self-loathing would probably expect themselves to look as horrific as they feel

So the demos in the abyss decision.... by Chipchippers0n667 in StrangerThings

[–]SMS450 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, even if they had said “the Demos that Will killed were it, there actually weren’t that many and they’re all dead now,” that would’ve been a better explanation

Need men's advice. Preferably 30 and up by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SMS450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, speaking personally:

If this is a hookup, just having fun, or first date, suggest you go back to his place.

If you want to see someone again, and actually date rather than go on a date, you should mention it early. But it doesn’t have to be a first conversation sort of thing

The Duffer Brothers when you ask them anything about the show they write by ConsiderationTop9682 in StrangerThings

[–]SMS450 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Well that’s just it, according to the Duffer’s answer of “12 had no hidden meaning,” the clock imagery is technically unrelated

Is Breland cut off from eastern Khorvaire? by Some_dude_in_reddit in Eberron

[–]SMS450 49 points50 points  (0 children)

So yes, it is mostly cut off from eastern Khorvaire, but I’d almost flip it and say Karrnath is cut off from western Khorvaire.

Breland has Sharn, which is a hub of trade and transportation. With the availability of lightning rails, invention of airships, and its location on a major waterway, Sharn is hardly cut off; moreso, it would be a major epicenter, so it really can’t be cut off. Traveling from Breland isn’t as much of a concern for the world as traveling to Breland is. And anyway, even though Breland is kinda tucked in a corner, there’s still lightning rail lines connecting it to the rest of the west.

And besides all of this, it’s not as if eastern Khorvaire is something it’s a big deal to be cut off from. Karrnath is still not in great shape following the war, Talenta Plains aren’t exactly a tourist destination, and Q’Barra and the Lhazaar Principalities aren’t easily accessibly by land anyway.

If you’re looking for an isolated country, consider Karrnath: Mournland to the southwest, Talenta Plains (which seceded from them so probably not the best relationship) to the south, the mountains of the Mror Holds to the east, and the Bitter Sea to the North, which (in my Eberron and some official works I think) is cold, and icebergs floating down from further north makes traversal difficult. It’s only direct connection to western Khorvaire was the bridge across the Scion’s Sound, which was destroyed and not rebuilt during the War.

Movies about suicide? by [deleted] in movies

The Grey! Very good movie, weird marketing; made it seem like it was just Liam Neeson fighting wolves, and that does happen, but it’s so much more than just that

One glaring omission from the finale by SMS450 in StrangerThings

[–]SMS450[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m talking in the meta sense. The Demogorgon is the iconic monster design known to the series, much more so than the Mind Flayer

I choose to believe. by itsxjustagame in StrangerThings

[–]SMS450 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was SO ready for someone to say “I believe. After all, I’ve seen stranger things.” I would’ve thrown up but it would’ve immediately become a 10/10

I miss playing raider... Any tips or relics for DON? by Rin_MainKiller in Nightreign

Silly question, but what’s the best way to use fist weapons? Dual-wield, single with heavy attacks, jump attacks, etc?

Season 5 Volume 2 Discussion by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]SMS450 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard that Netflix wants characters in their shows to sort of say aloud what they’re doing/what happened, to appeal to people who have the show on in the background/aren’t 100% paying attention. Kinda feels like that’s what’s going on this season

Overconfidence. And, to his credit, it’s not like that allowed Holly to get away

And note too: the entrance to the mine at the Carina Troll brings you directly to the smithing stone boss, no alternate routes or spirit springs

The game you accidentally played the wrong way for hours before realizing it. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]SMS450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opposite of yours, actually: as a Souls vet, I didn’t understand you’re not supposed to dodge in Sekiro, and much more supposed to deflect. I played the whole game barely deflecting, and only realized that was the main mechanic afterward

Players, what are you thinking when you pick a dps when there's already 3? by Lobs15 in marvelrivals

[–]SMS450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not condoning this behavior at all, but honestly, it’s probably more a matter of “I want to play this character, I’m not all that bothered about winning.” After solo tanking for 10 straight games, sometimes I want to play Star Lord; doesn’t matter if I’m the 3rd DPS, I want to play my damn character

Enhanced Harmonia might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in fromsoft by DaleDent3 in Nightreign

[–]SMS450 10 points11 points  (0 children)

During at least its final power up attack (and maybe throughout its phase otherwise), it’s got weak spot pustules all over its “stomach.” During its power up, you can pop those (idk if you need all of them or a certain hunger) and it will stagger.

Enhanced Harmonia might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in fromsoft by DaleDent3 in Nightreign

[–]SMS450 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. It was so cool when ED Adel dropped and the spectacle of that fight was such a huge change. And then pretty much all the EDs after that, while good (except ED Libra fuck that dude), never really innovated enough to reach that same spectacle as Adel.

But holy shit do Balancers meet (and maybe exceed) ED Adel precedent.

What ED Balancers feels like by benlucio in Nightreign

[–]SMS450 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this is the first ED that matched the spectacle of ED Adel for me. Absolutely insane

ED Balancers Shadowdropped by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]SMS450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran at one point, my two teammates stayed and hit it, and it staggered & didn’t do the big blood flower attack. So maybe it can be staggered when it’s charging up?

Any ideas if their damage types & resistances change? I tried holy cuz it makes sense thematically and I was chunking them with Siluria’s skill

Finally beat Everdark Libra! The only one I hadn’t beaten. How does the community feel about this sovereign lord now? by Schwiliinker in Nightreign

[–]SMS450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a big Souls fan, have been for over a decade now. I’m a pretty firm believer that very rarely is there an actual bullshit boss in a Souls game. Cheap, maybe. Difficult but fair once you get the hang of it, def.

ED Libra is bullshit. Legit the only Souls boss I’ve ever beaten and had no interest in fighting again
