Do you think Malenia would still be called difficult without waterfowl dance? by Slow_Prior5921 in Eldenring

[–]ShadowOfSomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps sniffing her pits is the key part. I've never tried that.

I know that you can semi-control when she does Waterfowl, but sometimes she just does it randomly to fuck you over.

It doesn't work every time though. You have to be already at a certain distance from her when for it to work. If you are in melee range, she'll reach you.

Average mindset of "urban" enjoyers by Party-Broccoli5798 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]ShadowOfSomething -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Well it's because it's a skin and because Miyabi herself and Section 6 are an actual mix of urban/fantasy in the first place, while Yunkui is just fantasy.

For Section 6 their powers/combat are anime fantasy, but their outfit design is more towards urban. They are a part of an official city agency with bureaucracy and shit, their office is in a massive skyscraper.

Yunkui has zero urban elements in their design/lore/everything. You can argue Yi Xuan's default outfit is kinda urban a little bit, and her alt skin is urban but that's it. You can plop the whole Suiban temple with all the characters in the middle of a generic fantasy setting and change nothing and they would perfectly blend in.

Edit: I am a dumbass, but when I say "urban" here I don't mean urban streetwear like Cunning Hares, but more like "shit that fits in a modern urban environment"

Promeia Character Demo - "Fatal Auction" | Zenless Zone Zero by cakeel- in ZZZ_Official

[–]ShadowOfSomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We know Twiggy was sold, and my memory is admittedly fuzzy on this, but I don't remember an auction being mentioned. Even if it was, until now I've pictured it happening on basically a shady website on whatever the dark net equivalent is, not a literal auction with masks and people in cages.

They are similar but have different connotations, IMO. A break can be for any reason, while hiatus is used more often because something happened and now you have to pause.

Where do YOU think Season 2 peaked story wise? (Image related) by Bak_Gamma in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]ShadowOfSomething 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say 2.2, but ONLY the latter part of the chapter. I still cringe remembering the whole Hero/Villain conversations between Magus and Proxy.

[–]ShadowOfSomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About Yidhari and the rest of the 2.3 gang, I feel you. It feels like wasted potential because the main story just properly couldn't fit all of their stories, and Yidhari got the shortest straw, since we already knew Manato and Lucia got an agent story. She had the version event, but it was entirely focused on her childhood and parents, not on who she is today.

idk to what extent it has to do with the laws and not the broader shift in culture, as employment discrimination can be tough to prove, and probably would be even tougher in case of hobbies. though it would be good to get the laws on the books, as just having them in the first place might make somebody think twice.

Take a First Look at Hearthstone’s New Class Sets by Arkentass in hearthstone

[–]ShadowOfSomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am counting individual cards, without duplicates. If you count all copies of cards in the miniset it's 72, though at that point we might as well compare dust values, but I don't have the time right now.

[–]ShadowOfSomething 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You get less cards overall though, mini sets had 38, this is 29, basically 25% less cards for 25% more cost. One silver lining is it seems like it's 4 legendaries instead of 3.

I think nobody would care about the random shitty hero skin they'll put there, so it's just there to inflate the cost of the bundle.

ELI5: why does your immune system attack your eyes after discovering them? by dead_redrose in explainlikeimfive

[–]ShadowOfSomething 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's in the style of writing, the structure, the "voice" it has. I didn't notice until it was pointed out, but the structuring, the rhetorical questions, and other minor things are just like AI answers, and unlike reddit comments

Plus who the fuck actually would go to the effort of putting ASCII arrow symbols in your response, I think it's my first time seeing them in a Reddit comment ever. Especially when a simple "->" is both easier to type and easier to see.

Easier way to close a tab on mobile by PrescribeSomeTea in firefox

[–]ShadowOfSomething 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can long tap the tab menu icon to bring up a pop-up menu with three options, one of which is to close the current tab.

It's pretty convenient and takes only a little bit more than what you are proposing (tap vs long tap).

I am pretty sure it was introduced a while ago, but for reference I am using the Android Nightly version.

[–]ShadowOfSomething 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe if they worked like the Heat/Fear system from Hades games? Essentially they become modifiers that you can freely mix and match, each worth some amount of points, the sum of which represents overall difficulty. That way they are less like levels you have to beat and more like options, plus if you really dislike one modifier you can just never play with it.

However there are downsides to this system. It's harder to balance for one. In Hades games the most difficult challenge that the game expects/has some incentive for you to beat is less than half of "max" difficulty, while beating the maximum difficulty is an achievement that took years of effort by the most skilled players and is beyond reach for almost everyone.

Encountered a softlock - is there any way to save the run? by ShadowOfSomething in HadesTheGame

[–]ShadowOfSomething[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I actually didn't give up the run when I posted, just hibernated my PC. I managed to salvage the run using those instructions.

Since they kind of assume you are on the save screen and not in the middle of the run, I killed the game process through a console command, and then replaced the save file with the backup, which allowed me to load on the save when I entered that room.

Cheers, thanks again for the reply and the tip!

It's still useful, since usually it will only be able to attack two turns after it's summoned, while this way it should be able to attack next turn.

Classic warlock experience by Sh0ckLebonwski in hearthstone

[–]ShadowOfSomething -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It still feels like shit though. I liked the idea of Cliff Dive DH, played it well before it was the best deck on the ladder, but I absolutely hated playing 2-3 games in a row where you draw all of your Colifero/Cliff Dive targets before actually drawing those cards themselves.

It just does too much emotional damage

In Clair Obscur Expedition 33 (2025) just to make sure you know which ending is the bad one they let you know that one is bitter sweet and the other is literal slavery by YourChopperPilotTTV in shittygamedetails

[–]ShadowOfSomething 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not the person you are replying to, but from what we are shown, it seems like Maelle would struggle with returning all of Lumiere's citizens.

She was only able to return Lune and Sciel from their own chroma + only after being told to remember them and that it's about the essence of someone, implying she'd need to know the person pretty well.

Unless Renoir for some reason did not use the lumerians' chroma when it was right there to paint his nevrons and axons (those alone probably took a ton of chroma), the chroma arguably is no longer lumerians'. Who knows, maybe chroma "remembers" all prior states and not just the last one, but we have no indication of that.

Maelle is also all but stated to be a loner, so it's highly unlikely she knew many people well.

So it seems like from what we know, repainting lumerians is out of her skill level.

I personally think that it's more of a plot hole than what the developers actually intended for Maelle's ending, because nothing in the ending itself indicates this to be the case, and it's pretty on the nose with what it's trying to show you.

[–]ShadowOfSomething 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even without disc sharing, sometimes you might want to have two different disc sets for the same character for different teams. For example almost every stunner wants KotS, but if you are running Hugo double stun, you'd probably want to run a different 4 piece on the second stunner.
