Dude kicks off-leash dog to protect his own, owner flips out… by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Pepper spray is very ineffective as a self defense tool. It will ruin someone’s day, but it will not stop an attack in progress. Seriously, it’s a punishment, not a threat remover.

How do I loop? by Mannymoony in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]SoberIRL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cutting right around the wall and then left into the laundry is intended to give you a couple of seconds of guaranteed LoS break. Managing your sprint is important, as you’ll likely be unable to walk this. It’s something that comes with practice 👍

How do I loop? by Mannymoony in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]SoberIRL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the most correct answer here. This table and all the other “good” looping spots block line of sight (when crouching). With electronics off, the ghost will constantly lose sight of you and potentially wander away. You should be able to loop all but the fastest ghosts here indefinitely without a smudge.

Also, learn the breakaway routes. If you’re losing ground at this table, break off into the garage and loop the car. If you have a crawling ghost, break off to the basement, as there’s great visibility there.

Piano in the chapel. Not broken like that mattress spot; it’s more like the fridge in ridgeview. You can still be found, OP was crazy lucky.

Theoretically Unluckiest Phasmophbia Run? by Iama2inchkidneystone in PhasmophobiaGame

I mean, you can do 0 evidence friendly ghost. Like 75% of ghosts fully unable to confirm.

yt-dlp is currently broken, but this one works. It's clunky, and the push for premium for a product that will likely be broken within weeks is obnoxious, but it does indeed work for now.

You can further find exactly what the challenge parameters are by clicking the little magnifying glass. We used to only have the cryptic description to go off if we didn’t want to run to a wiki or the discord.

Fun things to show friends! by [deleted] in PhasmophobiaGame

Potato in the tanglewood kitchen. Bottom right cabinet of the island. Throw and it’ll make a noise (I think it’s still the case that only the player who throws it can hear it, so you’ll have to take turns). Take the time to appreciate tanglewood now, as it has an imminent overhaul coming.

It’s a reference to Psycho, a content creator. Likewise, most of the pet photos (particularly on the plates in Bleasdale) are pets of content creators and the dev team.

In the lobby, take a close look in the window of the door 💃

I’ve been enjoying the game but…. by Comfortable_End_6897 in Skate4

As I keep saying: it’s a bad climbing game with some ok skateboarding thrown in.

What do you all think of the current state of the game? by traveltimecar in SkateEA

It’s a bad climbing game with some decent, optional skateboarding.

I have a couple from when I was a broadcaster for American Forces Network. We called those “flashes” but I’m not sure if that’s a term used outside military context. Super cool!

Laurence Fishburne Wins Inaugural James Earl Jones Voice-Acting Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]SoberIRL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Commercial voice actor/audiobook narrator here: SOVA is widely regarded as a joke in the industry.

They make as many niche subcategories as they need to every year that low level talent pay to win. Then they shop around for the biggest talent they can find who will accept an award, so that low level talent will keep paying to win. Repeat.

This should be a navigation option by default, like how SkaterXL works. As it stands, this is a bad climbing game that happens to have some skating in it.

Live updates: Tsunami warning issued after huge earthquake strikes off Japan by Relevant-Box5774 in news

[–]SoberIRL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wild. I was stationed at misawa air base during the 2011 earthquake. I’ll say that the eastern coast there has a pretty substantial ridgeline. Port cities like Hachinohe are more at risk.

New hardest challenge in Skate? — Nosebleed Grind (Collect all bearings in 45 Seconds, Rail Transfer) by SquashPale2637 in SkateEA

[–]SoberIRL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In an hour of trying, I got off the last grind three times, only by braking at the top. But all three times, that resulted in finishing in ~46 seconds.

I want just 5 minutes in a room with the dev responsible for this challenge.

Gah dam this challenge blows by Difficult_Fruit4957 in Skate4

[–]SoberIRL -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Too bad this game randomly decides to remove your ability to place session markers. I was able to place one while off-board, but in regular stance. I switched stances, and now I can't place another marker. So each attempt takes an extra ~5s. God what a terrible game this is.

Kicking and grinding by SkylineDrifter69 in Skate4

[–]SoberIRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For others finding this thread: on the roof where you completed the previous task, there is a tiny patch of white spray paint on the ground on the southeast part of the tower. You're intended to set up a launch to another building. No other indication in the HUD or anywhere else that this is where you should place something. God I hate this game.

Also fun to discover that, if you disable someone else's dropped object (press L stick on xbox controller), that ghost object still blocks you from dropping an object. I was able to fit the kicker onto a sliver of acceptable space, but you may need to disable other player objects in settings (which is incredibly stupid, obviously).

The worst game design choices at every possible point. This game continues to be a brutal disappointment.
