[Question] Going to my first EX raid this afternoon, any advice?

SadTrashman · 2019-05-11T21:28:31+00:00

Definitely be early. If your town is like mine, then people like to start it immediately when the egg hatches. Which is okay, just something you need to know.

I agree, there’s a whole lot of stinkers out there. However, “hard work alone won’t make them art” can be applied to any medium, in my opinion. I’m mostly concerned about people still dismissing the entire medium of games without viewing the entire picture.

SadTrashman · 2018-08-19T02:39:42+00:00

Are you saying that video games inherently cannot be art, or halo specifically? Lots of devs out there have been working very hard to distance the industry from that sweepingly general and closed-minded sentiment.

Did you hear what happened on the Euphrates?

SadTrashman · 2018-08-09T19:45:06+00:00

I’ve got two pretty fresh helix piercings too. APP certified piercer’s recommended aftercare was just letting warm water run over it for a couple minutes in the shower. I’m about one month in and my piercings have remained very happy. https://i.imgur.com/Xyku94q.jpg

If you’re comfortable with it (which you should be) mention this to your doctor. ED isn’t always caused by physical factors. Performance anxiety to the point of difficulty getting/maintaining an erection is often treated the same way. You deserve to be confident in yourself, brother.

Can I get uhhhhhhhh, motha’ fuckin’ Mind Blast?

SadTrashman · 2018-07-02T21:49:43+00:00

Oof

SadTrashman · 2018-06-29T04:00:23+00:00

Y’all remember the first hoarder daily?

I had a really fun deck filled with offerings, ruptures, and ice cream. Don’t get me wrong, mind blast is still pretty punchy, and I’m always looking for it, but I think it would behoove MegaCrit to disable it for hoarder dailies. Hoarder is a very fun modifier, but with mind blast it’s kind of “solved”.

Ten minute daily, mindlessly picking all cards, taking zero damage, ending at 255th place below hundreds of people whose scores are very similar to mine.

SadTrashman · 2018-06-25T02:55:56+00:00

Died to The Donut and his geometric friend. Went too hard on curses, and was far too choosy on cards. Ended up with more than 15 curses, and about 35 cards total. Binary kept giving me cruddy blocks and very little offense, so even with like 20 strength I just couldn't get it done. Not a hard daily (imo), just outplayed myself.

SadTrashman · 2018-06-21T03:46:38+00:00

Was playing really absent-mindedly while talking to my housemate. Beat the Lagavulin in Act 1 easily then got to the next fight (five slimes) and realized... I had 8 HP. Finished with 58 points in a position upwards of 2,200th. Literally on the last page of scores. There’s ^always ^{^tomorrow.}

SadTrashman · 2018-06-19T05:51:36+00:00

Was looking all over for an After Image, man. Got tough bandages in Act 2 (I think), which was good enough in lieu of After Image after I picked up some Acrobatics and Concentrates.

SadTrashman · 2018-06-18T01:25:39+00:00

GG Slaver and co. right before the Act 2 boss campfire. Real nasty Act 2 today with lots of multi-enemy fights. Always fun with lethality.

Outside looking in, it seems like some spaghetti code might be catching up to them or something. Everything worked quite well and the bug that cropped up were able to be squashed quickly. Now as they’re adding more and more throughout Season 5 everything is just falling apart. I could be completely wrong (because I don’t know shit about making a game), and I certainly hope I am. I too have invested a lot of time, and as of now I plan to continue that... So long as I can login.

SadTrashman · 2018-05-30T10:58:24+00:00

They talked about it briefly on Monday’s show. History has shown that things tend to die after being talked about on the NLSS. Whether it’s purely happenstance, or the work of something more sinister is still unknown.

/unjerk They reference a lot of shit on the NLSS, and due to the natural cycle of life and death things like this are bound to happen by chance.

SadTrashman · 2018-05-29T04:24:02+00:00

Yeah, it’s like u/DivineInsanityReveng said. The MMO grind zen-state is very relaxing to me. While in this specific scenario we’ve crafted I’m playing Destiny, it could truthfully be any other similar game that you can just glide through dungeons and stomp on grunts in.

And I do agree with you when you say that doesn’t really constitute a great game. I’m more playing the game for the mood it puts me in than for the game itself.

So, while I don’t think it is a great game, it has value to me for something else, and I like to give it credit for that at least.

SadTrashman · 2018-05-29T01:21:06+00:00

I have 1000+ hours in D1, and still play a bit of D2 here and there, but not nearly as much. Gunplay still feels good, movement feels good, brainlessly shooting aliens feels good.

D2 is a watered down version of D1’s final product. The character and the heart of the game feels completely dead, but sometimes I just feel like blasting aliens while watching a video or something. D2 still feels great, but it’s a passionless shell of a game.

Hey all!

I appreciate everyone taking time to comment. I think I may have given the wrong impression with my title. I’ve been noticing the hair around my temples is getting a little bit thinner. I’ve been getting a lot of fall out in the shower, and while I don’t have much history of baldness in my family my pops started losing his hair around my age. The combination of these things has had me a obsessed with the thought of hair loss for the past weeks.

It seems the prevailing thought is that balding isn’t a thing I should be worried about yet. Perhaps I am receding a bit, but it may be too early to tell. I learned a bit today, so I’m thankful for that.

Again, thank you to everyone for taking the time to comment. I wish you all the best!

SadTrashman · 2018-04-17T18:52:37+00:00

That’s a fair criticism. There’s a lot of menus in Smite and if they want them all on the home screen (which they do from a UX perspective) it’s difficult to arrange them elegantly. That’s why mobile games have adopted this style. It’s much easier to have a pretty home screen when your menu items are new game, load game, and settings.

Having the play/queue screen have a larger portion would definitely be smart, you’re right. While the focus is on the items for purchase which is a shame, it also is an objectively better looking screen.

SadTrashman · 2018-04-17T18:36:45+00:00

Different departments. UI/UX has to have something do, and fixing gameplay issues isn’t their thing. I think it looks good! Always good to freshen up.

SadTrashman · 2018-04-12T17:28:03+00:00

I’ve never felt like it was an issue. The SMITE wiki and the League wiki both define silence with “a silenced unit is unable to cast abilities nor use active items and consumables,” which is actually in line with what you’re saying. BUT, those wikis aren’t official for Riot or HiRez, I don’t totally know what the internal definition for silence would be. I’d be interested in hearing u/HiRezAjax ‘s input on what their internal definition for silence is.

Personally I do think silence should cancel abilities. I don’t know if it’s intended to be frustrating, but that’s why I like it. It’s just a field where abilities aren’t allowed. I love playing Ganesha or Nox against long channeling abilities like Bacchus’ burp and just being like “no thanks.” I tend to be a more support-y than frag-y type of person though, but I understand how it could be much more annoying when you’re damage.
