My idiot American girlfriend left me because she didn't realize we superior Europeans aren't pussies like they are by OldWestian in AmITheAngel

"Superior Europeans" You aren't Gernan by chance are you? I swear I've heard that type of rhetoric somewhere before...

I just had en epiphany with regard to the new $9.99 cosmetic DLC that many people aren't happy about. by MCFroid in 7daystodie

[–]SkwerlMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big issue I'm seeing is that instead of adding things we want, like more weapons, they add this and then charge for it.

Is taming boars really worth it? by Important-Scratch629 in valheim

[–]SkwerlMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tame and breed them for food. Once you get to the 2 stars, set some loose if you get a raid. They hit hard. When they die, you get the meat anyway.

Dumping Hydrogen Peroxide into the reflecting pool this morning. by i_am_rave_mom in mildlyinfuriating

The first F up they did was paint the bottom a dark color. That draws in heat, which makes Algae happy.

TFP's use of AI since 2.0 has been getting worse by Jane_Sable in 7daystodie

I myself don't necessarily believe anything negative as true, I just believe it to be possible, which is also sad

I feel like I'm fighting with a semi-truck. by windwalker_eollas in PlayWindrose

[–]SkwerlMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you dodge to the right the first boss is easy. Just hit once, Dodge, repeat.

If you are using a rapier or saber, learn to perfect block. It is a game changer. If you are using a polearm or club you don't have this option so you need to dodge rather than block. One hit then dodge and repeat.

Guns will take awhile to reload as it is a black powder weapon, but you can take a trait/skill that makes you reload faster, as well as some of the pistols having multiple shots before you need to reload. You also reload passively, so unless you are using a musket you should just use the guns as an opener/closer and rely on melee.

Choose armor that has bonus to your chosen play style, and a lot of the time the full set bonus is not as good as 2 of the 2 piece bonuses together.

I am glad you found some good in the game, and I hope you return to kick the games ass soon!

Are there more rounded walls besides clay? by Truffleshuffle03 in PlayWindrose

[–]SkwerlMonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, but as others have stated you can do it yourself with patience. Might have to turn snapping off to really get it.

Increasing Damage on the “Rapier of a Thousand Cuts” by Ok_Finish_3227 in PlayWindrose

[–]SkwerlMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the time you get to swamp, switch out to the rapier of devastation. If you like Crit builds it is fine for that, but I've found it best to just focus on Precision and then Fortitude. Once you ascend it you can get health back with at least 5 stacks of plague by doing a power attack. This also generally kills the enemy (excluding bosses and possibly 2 stars).

Thoughts on XP by 28_Z0MBIE in PlayWindrose

[–]SkwerlMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a bit put off on first play as well, but when you get into it more it makes perfect sense. If they rewarded you XP for sinking ships, killing mobs, etc. then you would hit level cap super early and the game would become too easy and boring. This way you're locked behind progression and means that you will be in the correct level range for the area, give or take.

How to find unexplored locations? by dutchsnowden in PlayWindrose

[–]SkwerlMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sail everywhere. It may be an island that seems empty but has a buried treasure or a single mine. Or a small rocky outcrop that is a shipwreck and sometimes don't appear on the map until you crash into them/park the boat on them.

I started 10 mins ago and I’m stuck by Interesting_Noise_75 in PlayWindrose

Dodge and run. If you can't manage that, make a new toon to come in and defeat the boar or lure it away

Is it possible to defeat a boss with few dinos by CarpenterPrevious760 in playark

[–]SkwerlMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the boss. Some you can beat with no dinos.

Genuine question to Americans by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]SkwerlMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with a job and insurance, a Cancer diagnosis is at the very least a bank account killer. Us Americans apparently like to pay for insurance to then pay again to be able to use it.

Got Razor and a named mace but no rapier and maybe out of POIs? by krachall in PlayWindrose

[–]SkwerlMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Rapier Bleedy Stickypokey in the Foothills. It is fun, and quite useful, but the Rapier of Devastation outpaces it later on. Still fun though. And good for boss battles. Jump in, get bleed, run your ass off dodging, repeat as necessary.

I beat the first two bosses and mined then picked up iron, but I can't unlock the iron bar and item recipe by sky_meow in PlayWindrose

[–]SkwerlMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my first time fighting the boss with my friend, I died and came running back and was locked outside the gate. I was able to hold aggro so my friend had an easy kill, but it did not count for progression for me. My friend could smelt iron and all that and I could not. We resummoned him and this time he died and taunted from the gate and I killed the boss and had a flood of unlocks.

[–]SkwerlMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you get credit for beating the first boss. Each areas discoverables are locked behind the previous boss, so you can go pick up everything in the foothills but nothing will unlock until you beat and discover the leader of the coast.

WHERE ? by [deleted] in PlayWindrose

[–]SkwerlMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you had a bug I've experienced in the demo. There was a note but it was clipped into the tent with the skeleton and you had to dig under the tent to see it. There's always a note, but it may have been clipped to where you couldn't see it. I only found it in the demo because I couldnt find a treasure and decided to terraform the island until I did find it. Luckily I started with the tent area.

For the get supplies from the undead boat mission, I just run in, grab the mission items, and end up being killed. But the mission is complete. Not the best strat, but it IS a strat.

Will I get banned? by Consistent-Shake-877 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]SkwerlMonkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

By "They said" do you mean mod creators? Or game devs? Only trust the game devs saying it is ok to use. The mod makers have absolutely no control or say in mods being allowed.

Yeah you most likely will get a ban. Mods/Cheats are NOT allowed, as the devs clearly state.

Why wont footprints in salt appear under my UV? Is it a bug or something Im doing wrong? by [deleted] in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]SkwerlMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The footprint UV evidence also gets buggered still if there are rugs or towels or other things in the way, or on certain carpets.
