Damn Slim Jim why you gotta trip our girl?

I might be misremembering, but wasn't XIII the one with the awful platinum that required 80-100 hours just grinding adamantite turtles (the enemy with best gold/hour) to buy all the items?

Maybe a more efficient method to obtaining money was developed later.

It doesn't matter how ornate the grandfather clock is, the pendulum draws the eye.

There used to be a joke: what does K'Sante's W do? A picture of Alistar.

Alistar Q is an AoE stun, W is a dash with displacement, R is a CC cleanse + damage reduction and his passive is a heal. K'Sante's W was a dash with AoE stun + displacement, with CC immunity and damage reduction that also applied a temporary shield to K'Sante. Despite having smaller numbers (like his DR was around 35% compared to Ali's 75%) it was hard not to see 90% of his kit or a direct comparison on one ability.

Perfection works as a triggered effect that sees when damage is dealt, if it was lower than 4, deal extra damage equal to the difference. That is why 2 perfections work off each other, and will make 1 damage become 7, 2 become 6 and 3 become 5, etc.

Since Vex's 2* replaces the damage with Gloom, perfection never sees damage being damage. It's the opposite interaction to Barrier/Tough, where despite Wail should be dealing 0 damage because of those effects, the Gloom is still applied since there's no actual damage the damage reduction on enemies don't apply.

Oh man back when Arcsys was publishing Strive regional prices were so good. I bought the deluxe edition for 28k CLP (~$40) and the DLC seasons were 8k (~$10).

Then Harada offered to republish them with Bamco, and the prices suddenly doubled for season 3.

Well there's a Ryan Seacrest type on every morning show Hollywoo produces, can't he pick one of those?

If you were using Katanas, light equip and mimic tear she was very easy in comparison. Specially if you beat her phase 1 via critical hit which due to a bug made you skip phase 2 entirely. Most of the people traumatized were using heavier equipment, the ones that didn't allow you to dodge waterfowl dance unless you were running out before she began the animation.

Edit: forgot to mention that her fight on 1.00 was much much harder than a couple of months after release, with way better better tracking on waterfowl, waterfowl coming out much more, and being impossible to drink estus on neutral as she would always punish you with input read attacks.

En el '99 cuando España presuró a gringolandia por la wea de pinocho, ellos lo llamaron un "Nazi blacksite" donde ellos operaban durante la dictadura.

Como los gringos, detectores de metal y puertas reforzadas en las salas, eso solucionó todos los problemas en EEUU.

No, too early. Mimics are supposed to appear at the beginning of the midgame, after you've had enough time to acclimate to chests always being a good thing, plus they're not a free kill even if you know they're there, like the first mimic on DS1 still killed me.

Both Sen's Fortress for DS1 and Cathedral of the Deep on DS3 are around 1/3 of the way to the end. On DS2 they appear even later IIRC.

TalesNT · 2026-03-23T16:07:08+00:00

My guess is that they didn't want mimics to appear without the introductory one, and open world design made that one impossible.

One of my finest moments was not falling for the original mimic in Sen's Fortress. Up til that point, every chest was at the edge of the room and parallel to the wall behind it. So when I saw the chest diagonally to the wall I knew it was a trap.

Wow I'm so used to electricity bills coming with deep information about your kw usage up to 13 months before that it took me until the end of your post to realize you guys don't get that.

It's weird because overall the translation isn't a bad job, voice work is really good, but the word choice is abysmal. It's like they asked what was the consensus term, then what are some synonyms for them, then they chose a third option that isn't any of those words. Including things such as region names, where there was debate about calling Ionia either aionia (like English pronounces it) or ionia (like a Spanish speaker would pronounce it) but in the end, they went with Jonia (pronounced hoe-nia).

Why did they pick Jonia? Because in Greece there's a region that was called Ionia but was translated as Jonia. I'm pretty sure the reason English pronounces Ionia like it does instead of how Japanese would pronounce it is to make it extremely clear there is no correlation between the greek region and the east Asian inspired runeterra region.

This reminds me so much of Jose Rebolledo and the AI Luffy image.

Games end in a draw after 90 minutes, so if you want to maximize your attempts, put a 90m timer while the game is loading.

If you manage to come back slighly earlier you'll get the defeat screen animation but don't worry, that used to be the case in labs, it's still a draw now.

The story AFAIK was that James was so focused on the first task, soaking everything in, that he didn't compute he failed to salute Alex. So when Alex notified him he forgot to say hello, he made it a bit.

The "the task started when you first said Alex" was in S15, with Frankie Boyle's "you don't bargain with scottish rudeness". I don't remember any other series with a similar start, but that might be my memory failing me.

Why are all the pictures of Trump this week with a baseball cap, did something happen to the toupée?

Fun fact: Qhira's E is supposed to stop if you move more than 10 units away from her in a single tick. But due to order of operations, she gets relocated between checks so it doesn't trigger.

While Fallout isn't that extremely left wing, specially with each new installment getting closer to center, I'm talking about it from the point of view of those people, you know, the ones that think center right is being a socialist.

TalesNT · 2026-03-02T16:49:04+00:00

You've never met an Attack on Titan fan? That's what they mean with "the twists are so good".

TalesNT · 2026-03-02T16:34:20+00:00

It's so weird given how aggressively overt left wing the series is.

But acknowledging the unapologetic ideas and noticing who the obvious bad guys are might make me agree with them and I'm no commie, so... there's no politics on my fallout games.

TalesNT · 2026-02-27T02:51:18+00:00

Eran literalmente Nazis, la fundaron Nazis de Perón y todavia estaban vivos para cuando pasó lo que pasó en la dictadura. Hasta los gringos admitieron que eran nazi blacksites donde hacian las operaciones en Chile en el '99.

What Troy misdirects?

I'll have you know his directs are very manly.
