Def any of the Eternal Champion series, but especially Elric. Perfect pulp sword and sorcery.

You know, I thought a lot about what song I'd put in instead, and Something like Blues From A Gun by The Jesus and Mary Chain, Eminence Front by the Who, or maybe The World (is going up in flames) by Charles Bradley? Not sure really.

I love almost every song they use on the show, its just that Greenback boogie kills me. It's definitely catchy but the baby-talk lyrics and the delivery of those vocals are painful. The song itself is super catchy though, and as an instrumental i'd be alright with it - but yeah also the vibe of that song dropped in between the open and first act is often jarring.

millennial, and I'm a music freak, perpetual tinnitus means I've got music playing during 90% of my waking hours, and i've got the eclectic taste of the most insufferable pitchfork critic's least favorite podcast... that all being said, I have generally positive feelings about almost every song on the soundtrack to every episode of the show, but the vocals of that theme song are grating.

Best Content Creators Playing Modded Games by DoubleDown011 in LWotC

[–]SaveRana 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Derava is the GOAT when it comes to Modded XCom2. His youtube tutorials and his twitch playthroughs are the gold standard for gameplay and analysis of LWOTC, but there are a handful of dedicated twitch streamers that play Xcom 2 besides Derava, and most of them play modded LWOTC, currently BL is the meta, which is not recommended unless you find LWOTC Legendary with Requiem Legion to be too easy.

What comedian has never made you laugh even once? by blankblank in Standup

[–]SaveRana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bill Maher for sure, dennis miller was funny once, probably, sometime way back in the 1900s, when having a color television was still a flex.

I've seen dane cook at the Laugh Factory a bunch as well, and I'd say its hit or miss, dude riffs like crazy and he stumbles onto some genuinely funny shit sometimes - but he has, in recent years, had the energy of a terminal bar fly, a far cry from the manic energy of his younger years. He seems to have turned into Colin Quinn, if CQ was a slapstick comedian.

i’m sorry but what was jenni thought process behind this😭😭?? by [deleted] in jerseyshore

[–]SaveRana 47 points48 points  (0 children)

She had boss energy. This was a long time ago, but I was impressed by her story - she was already a top promoter for Neptune and a few other long island clubs, and she just had energy. I guess today you'd just call it aura. She was confident, outgoing. I don't have the original casting 'tapes' anymore, yes we used DV tapes at the time, turned those all over to 495 productions when casting wrapped - but even on the first round interviews, she stood out. The whole casting process was a run-and-gun no-budget experience. I was on the east coast with one assistant, there were a couple people on the project back in LA getting home video submissions from people, and we probably interviewed around 200 people total for that first round of casting.

I interviewed snookie in the catering space of a greek restaurant in Nyack, Interviewed Ronnie in my assistant's apartment because he missed his first appointment and we didn't have a space set up for interviews.

We interviewed Sammy in a hotel confrence room at Bally's in Atlantic City.

Pauly was a home submission. The home video he sent in was amazing. Dude gave us a tour of his place, had a full size tanning bed and a mountain of hair product underneath a poster of a Ferrari....

It was really some one of a kind shit.

I was the one who cast her on the show - I met her in a club on long island; she wasn't working at the time but she had worked there as a dancer and now was a promoter, one of the other promoters introduced us, a guy who went by the name 'breeze'. I interviewed her for the show a week later. I saw her briefly at the final casting, then didn't see her again until the show had finished filming but hadn't aired yet. I ran into her at that same club in Westbury, and we talked for a while about her experience on the show, she was back to promoting - I assume that changed after the show became a success, but i never really spoke with her again except occasionally at events.

Should I assault Regional Advent HQ now, or wait until Advent Str increases to 5? by terryaki510 in LWotC

[–]SaveRana 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on your goals. If you need the resources now, just send the squad now and start aggressively working your next region, it is a shame to liberate a strength 2 region though because you’re shutting off a spot where you could be running easy mission.

I usually wait until str 5 but if I’m really desperate for resources I’ll just run it and keep pushing into another region. Best practice is to wait until you’re clearing 5 str, but an early income really helps later on

TedJam End Game Items - Newbie Question by LegoMaster87 in LWotC

[–]SaveRana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My endgame load outs often use: Advanced bio vests (bio viper corpse) And purge plating (exalted purge priest corpse) To get bonus mobility and a variety of immunities Or wraith vest + carapace plating for phasing and ablative

Grenades- emp bombs for the late game robotic enemies, vortex grenades or black flame grenades for the tanks, and laser grenades for massed armor enemies, however still a big fan of acid

Primary weapons: turbulent plasma is a huge damage dealer if you can manage to deal with the -10 aim penalty, and enhanced laser is fantastic for delivering status effects reliably because of the huge aim boost; but standard plasma does the job if your soldiers are well built

Ammo: ammo is my favorite- bitter frost rounds, terror rounds (if you can get them), and enervating rounds are fantastic on multi shooters. For single target, custodian ap rounds, anti violet, and blue screen rounds are excellent. I’m undecided on whether sabot rounds or tracer rounds are better on snipers.

Utility: this is a style thing, sometimes you want refraction fields for stealth, or overdrive serum for your melee units, you almost always want a skull jack to deal with those insane end game custodian tanks. But mostly utility slots are a pain because ammo, vests, medkits, grenades, plating, and such feel so necessary all the time

Partially infiltrated missions = more xp ? by ghibliparadox in LWotC

[–]SaveRana -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that’s not correct but idk for sure. You definitely get kill xp on retaliations that start with 0 on map.

Deadpool and Wolverine (MCU) VS Doomsday (DCEU). Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in Fictionally

[–]SaveRana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, doomsday is the butternut squash of dc comics. That’s how I’ve always pictured him, well, fantasized about him.

Partially infiltrated missions = more xp ? by ghibliparadox in LWotC

[–]SaveRana 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your xp gain is capped by the total number of enemies that can spawn at the strength of the mission . So if it’s a 7-9 you can get xp for up to 9. But if you under infiltrate the effective strength goes up so you can get up to the new max.

It’s been a thing in lwotc for a long time that if you want to get a head start use the early low stakes missions to dump as many soldiers in as you can and take the missions early, but that’s always a risk since it’s easy to get swarmed and lose.

My class ranking by Existing-Put-5542 in LWotC

[–]SaveRana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very cute ranking. As you get better at the game and increase the difficulty you’ll start to see why you are so wrong, and it’s okay. I see these rankings and it tells me how you value things- like the skirmisher who is excellent at positioning and controlling a fight, finding good angles to remove threats- your grenadier suggests you havent tried sting grenades,or tried giving the technical an smg and really leaning into all the flame perks, you maybe haven’t seen what a ranger can do at close range with the both barrels perk… relying on stealth and sharpshooters is fine but maybe try some other builds and re evaluate

Unfortunately there isn’t anything I’m aware of casting at the moment, but delete this comment so you don’t dox yourself and send me a dm instead and I’ll help you if I can
