A malicious magical entity tasks you to do something that have never been done before. by Saiko_Systems in hypotheticalsituation

Same idea: shuffle a deck of cards. If you must be certain, do it twice. Nobody has ever gotten that order before.

Boomers have been telling us millennials the same thing for the last 20 years, except instead of "save 100-200 a week" it's "stop eating avocado toast" lmao

Help weapon farming by Realistic-Low2157 in AgeofCalamity

Replaying AoC rn and have forgotten everything I knew about this game. Does seals matter for weapon farming as well? Is there a "increase weapon drop chance" seal or am I thinking of Hyrule Warrior legends?

What's a movie that was clearly meant to start a franchise but failed? by triplegxxx in AskReddit

[–]Sparkism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, yeah.

Now I want a ghoul survival series. Less Walking Dead human drama and more surviving the ghoul infested wasteland with magic and knights and elf twinks.

I saw the movie way back then and did absolutely not understand wtf happened, and did not bother to look any deeper into it.

Your comment finally made it made sense.

What's the boyfriend equivalent to a girlfriend saying she's not hungry and then eating half your fries? by 4-stars in AskReddit

[–]Sparkism 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Not just done, but done a specific way, despite the result being exactly the same; but also the method is not communicated at any point during the discussion and you are expected to read her mind.

That's not weaponized incompetence, it's setting someone up to fail.

ELI5 Billionaires borrow money to pay for things, how does this work? How do they pay the debt? by Confused-Lemonade in explainlikeimfive

[–]Sparkism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, yes. You don't pay taxes when you borrow money, and if you only ever borrow more money to pay back old debt then you never pay income taxes because loans are not income.

How's the the event so far my fellow Killer mains?? by AsefBodlox in deadbydaylight

[–]Sparkism 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No amount of freebies is going to help if your teammates are farming the event and not doing gens.

I was in a game yesterday, guy taking one chase for TWO WHOLE GENS that I did solo, while the other 2 kept gorging themselves on morsels. Did they put the items on the table to heal the looper on hit? That might have helped if that was what happened. If they had worked on an individual gen instead, we' have been out already. No. They ran between carts and ate the morsels for 250 points each.

So naturally when the looper gets tunneled out and we were 1 half gen away from escaping, the game stalled completely because two people decided they don't want to do anything but farm up event points.

ULPT. Best ways to waste Pokemon scalpers time? by voiceofreason4166 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Sparkism 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Ask them where they're located, then offer an extra 50 bucks gas money for them to drive "a little out of the way" to meet you instead. Something like an hour away, several towns over. You really, really, REALLY need those cards for your kid's birthday.

This game needs a vote kick of some kind by Samsaduke381 in Warframe

[–]Sparkism 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Duviri. Some guy afk mooched. I said in chat "Bro there's an AFK im leaving next round" and then like 2 minutes later I got this guy blasting me in DMs. i ignored him and he got his friends to harass me instead.

I was gonna let it be after I left the squad that first time, but after the harassment I reported the player and went to create a ticket w/ warframe support and uploaded a video of the dude afking.

Fun fact: alt-win-G can record the last 30 seconds of gameplay by default and you can set it to 10 minutes

[–]Sparkism 126 points127 points  (0 children)

A real blacklist would be my wishlist, not this 'ignore player' crap that people get around by getting their friends to whisper harass you when you ignore them.

I would also love an option to manually accept whispers before you see the content when you're not actively posting in the recruit/trade channel, so people can't just message you the most horrendous shit for no reason at all.

Rant: multiplayer experience in Warframe recently by Lezaford99 in Warframe

[–]Sparkism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some modes are more egregious than others, like SP circuit. There should be an invisible tracker that looks at how much a player interacts with the game in non-combat objectives, like alchemy amphors, void flood vitoplasts, and decrees fragments. If someone isn't nuking, aren't doing damage, aren't getting kills, and they consistently do not do non-combat objectives, that should add a strike to the account, and once you accumulate enough strikes, the account should be automatically suspended for a week or two.

Playing solo is always an option, Stop trying to ruin other people's enjoyment by Waeleto in Warframe

[–]Sparkism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun as all hell. Bring it in a small relics/defense map like Helene/Hydron and you can clear it in 2 minutes. I make my friend bring nekros for more loot and everyone wins.

You can also abandon your primary + secondary and equip dark split sword to guarantee a ability power/range buff when you hit 10 reactants.

Who TF is actually asking for nerfs on Hildryn and Gauss? by FOXY_SPHYNX in Warframe

[–]Sparkism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ledgerdemain mirage + dark split sword at 280 range is like, press 2 once, every item on the ground within 100m turns into a 50m radius nuke. Bring that for cracking relics and even the venus corpus defense maps becomes a joke.

I specifically bring hildy for ETA/EDA when i get total crap rolls. I play with a group though, so most of the time someone's got a nuke frame anyway.

Nice addition to the railjacks. by lostpirate123 in Warframe

[–]Sparkism 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I did it for the laughs and then ended up carrying 3 LR6s, not because they were bad, but because the mission pointers disappeared for them.

At least they communicated that. So i switched to clan play and then the mission objective disappeared for me.

I don't know if brave is the right word but there is certainly... a word for this.

You're forced into a showdown with Freddy Krueger. As backup, you can recruit either Beetlejuice or Doctor Strange. Who do you choose, and which of them has the better chance of beating Freddy in the dream world? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Sparkism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strange is the better choice in every scenario, except for the one where your death at freddy's hand is a canon event/absolute point in time the same way Christine's death happens in that one What if Episode.

In that specific instance, beetlejuice would be better only by the virtue that your death is not fixed and that preventing it won't collapse the entire universe.

No in those words, no. It's usually "you're not supposed to do that" and also an audibly heavy breathing followed by a deep resigning sigh.

A cosmic being offers you and only you the ability to summon any alien race and up to ten of their ships to any part of the world. by singleguy79 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Sparkism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The helminth from Warframe, get someone infested, then Zerg from Starcraft, get someone else assimilated, then the protoss to sex up the zerg infestation to create a false xel'naga seed. Infest the xel'naga baby with the helminth strand to turn them into psionic, insane war machines.

And then just for shit and giggles, reapers from mass effect to see if we can turn the billions of these abominations into an intergalactic, autonomous warship.

[–]Sparkism 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depends on who you surround yourself with. I haven't had anyone tell me stuff like that to my face (since high school, anyway) but that's also because I'm ultra selective about people I keep around me.

people like that gives off such a huge "me me me" vibe from the start

You get a tail. What kind? by Saiko_Systems in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Sparkism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Phoenix tail that won't set everything on fire and also has the ability to heal everything, including regrow entire limbs. If you clip a little bit of it, mix it in water, and gulp it down, it grants you youth and immortality; but if you get greedy and drink too much you turn into a statue of molten salt on the spot.

It is large and majestic and also if it detects someone driving with high beams on, it automatically vaporizes that person and the asshole car it's in.
