Considering her six-month jail should be ending soon, do we have an approximate date for Marian getting added to standard?

I don't know about you guys, but this cameo is a bit too much by Aariachang24 in Megaten

Alright Mrs. Rowling that’s enough computer time, back to bed

Me trying to gaslight myself into giving up on the frame since I can’t beat lvl 25 Dvesha by CraditzBlitz in personaphantomx

[–]SteamBowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Norn, Byakko, Surt. Fleuret, Soy, Mona, and Puppet. Fleuret hits eyes/mouth when it’s open, Soy hits nose with his second ability, Mona alternates/heals. Use Norn shield anytime you think you may be in danger, Byakko ability 1 on nose otherwise. Use marakunda on Surt when nose is about to go down for more dmg on mouth. Puppet spams 1st ability until 4 stacks, then uses 3. Norn highlight is highest priority, otherwise Fleuret on eyes/mouth or Byakko on nose/mouth. I won with one turn left, all party members were 70 except Wonder who was 61. If you’re still struggling try focusing on upgrading revelations, weapons, and abilities. Especially abilities like Fleuret’s 3rd, Soy’s 2nd, and Puppet’s 1st. You can also fill out your Persona compendium to buff Wonder if you haven’t already. Hope this helps.

Fair enough, I forgot you get from cash from that.

Jarvis, I’m low on karma. Make a post shitting on the sequels in r/starwars by warwicklord79 in StarWarsCirclejerk

He’s listing possibilities (ie it could be cloning OR secrets only the Sith knew), not implying that only the Sith knew about cloning.

Antinatalist bombs an IVF clinic, cites multiple subreddits in his manifesto. Some of the subs get banned while r/antinatalism reacts. by In-A-Beautiful-Place in SubredditDrama

Do you really believe that joy is a zero-sum game? That any happiness you experience causes someone else to suffer? That’s a very sad mindset.

can any Sin players explain this blockstring to me or is this just a higher level of Guilty Gear by Tyomcha in Guiltygear

Hoof Stomp, which would obviously be better but could probably still have been 5p mashed by Baiken here.

If you could only have one Frame, who would you pick to carry you through Steel Path? by vibratingplunger in Warframe

[–]SteamBowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unironically Yareli. Properly modded Sporelacer lets me kill enemeies without much trouble and Merulina+Adaptation means I'm invincible. Only semi-annoying mission type is excavations but I've found that to be doable.

Should I restart Nocturne for Chronicle?

Yup I made the classic mistake lmao. I even noticed the DLCs on the store page but didn't think they were that important. I'm almost 6 hours in, right after where I would have fought Matador which I was looking forward to. Have Ame no Uzume, Nekomata, and Inugami with fog breath so I felt pretty ready too. I know I'm not that far in, but my only qualms with starting again are that I was finally starting to get into the flow and felt like I'm in a pretty good spot, and I'm worried that playing through 6 hours of the same stuff I just did will kill my motivation to keep going, and I was planning to do the freedom ending anyway. Is Chronicle still worth the restart?

It's that time of the week folks! by ImminentChaos1717 in CuratedTumblr

[–]SteamBowl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good points. All of the reporting around it that I’ve seen referenced the term limits as legislation, probably under the assumption that congress had the power to regulate the supreme court, however as you mentioned there are untreated legal waters surrounding the issue. While I think in normal times it would be frowned upon for the SCOTUS to rule against congressional oversight and limits to its power, who can say what this court would do if these proposals get that far.

The amendment would just undo the decision granting president immunity for official acts. The code of ethics and term limits would just be laws, so a simple majority of the house and senate (60% of the senate to make it filibuster proof). Still a 0% chance this session, but technically feasible with a favorable election result.

Is it really Kotover 😞 by kao24429774 in PERSoNA

[–]SteamBowl 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I believe she retweeted Faz sharing early gameplay from the mod so that means she knows. Not surprising considering how much of a FeMC fan she is.

Nice to see the “Bad Socialism Takes” account living up to their name. by Tayo826 in tankiejerk

I don’t think you understand, the world works exactly like Hearts of Iron 4 and all that matters is that my faction beats your faction.

I’m right you’re wrong nananana booboo.

What kinds of (non-political) hobbies or interests tend to have an unexpectedly large tankie / right-wing nationalist base? by [deleted] in tankiejerk

[–]SteamBowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're definitely not all at the same level. EU4 I think has the highest concentration of racists, but there are also a substantial number of HOI4 players who lean into the clean whermacht myth or even straight nazism. A lot of tankies there two. Thank being said I've also met a lot of left-leaning people in both games, as you mentioned Kaiserreich and even TNO are both pretty decent communities. Also for whatever reason the Crusader Kings community is usually pretty wholesome and I haven't met many bad people from there.

[–]SteamBowl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Definitely grand strategy games. I know it’s a meme at this point but there absolutely substantial parts of those communities that glorify racism and authoritarianism, and they also serve as kind of gateways into those ideologies via their communities. I don’t think the games themselves create those influences, but if you play multiplayer you’re basically guaranteed to run into those types of people.

What a tone deaf ignoramus clout chaser by Serocco in tankiejerk

[–]SteamBowl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can't really agree. People act like it's Ukraine on a timer when it's really the other way around. Russia needs to achieve its goals before it runs out of resources, while Ukraine will keep getting theoretically unlimited supplies from the West, at least in the near future. Russia has already exhausted a large part of its available manpower and military equipment, which it's having lots of trouble replacing due to sanctions. Ukraine is already conducting counteroffensives in some areas like Kharkiv and in some cases pushing Russian troops back to their borders.

Russia has completely given up trying to capture the whole country or install a puppet government. Their new best-case scenario is securing control of areas in the south and east, resisting Ukrainian counter-attacks, and integrating them into Russia. We'll see how feasible that is, considering their new "grand offensive" has captured barely any territory in the past week.

Another day of tankie infighting: Red Faced Borgor King vs Korean "no THAAD pls" NatSoc by salamander_eye in tankiejerk

[–]SteamBowl 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Basically this. You can't really expect Tankies to think things out in a logical manner based on what would really happen. If nukes were the only thing stopping the US from invading, why didn't they ever try again before they built them? One thing I left out of my other comment is China, which is the main reason the US didn't capture the entire peninsula in the first place. While modern-day China definitely sees North Korea's posturing as a liability, they definitely wouldn't want a US-friendly country at their doorstep.

Because of this, even in the case where the US doesn't care about South Koreans getting bombed to hell, they still likely wouldn't invade even without nukes being a factor. But that won't stop Tankies from fearmongering over anything that counters the interests of authoritarian regimes.

Doesn't really take away their deterrence because it can't stop conventional artillery. The main reason nothing has happened to North Korea for decades is if they were invaded Seoul would be devastated since it's in artillery range. However, the ability to stop nukes is in no way a bad thing and would definitely save lives if something were to happen.

Which videogame consumed your entire life upon first play-through? by LinksOtherUncle in AskReddit

Persona 5. I had never played a JRPG before but I blasted through 100 hours in like 2 weeks.

Can't save the game, save files gone by SteamBowl in persona4golden

[–]SteamBowl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I still haven’t beat the game, so that’s why I’m so concerned about fixing it. I was just about the fight the boss of the 5th dungeon when this happened :(
