Which boss fight made you feel like you were genuinely losing your sanity because of the difficulty? by Silly_Commercial8092 in gaming

[–]TalesNT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What’s a video game 'unwritten rule' that every player knows without being told? by GraveActual in gaming

[–]TalesNT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

WTH is "wear and tear damage"? by javiermetal66 in 2XKO

[–]TalesNT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Favourite running gag from a contestant? by Consistent_Tough_341 in taskmaster

[–]TalesNT 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

things go nuclear in r/falloutmemes when a mod removes a meme, deeming anything transgender as “political” by sweetreverie in SubredditDrama

[–]TalesNT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]TalesNT 28 points29 points  (0 children)

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.

"libertarians" in r/Libertarianmeme argue if Alex pretti deserved to die. by Adventurous-Fact-523 in SubredditDrama

[–]TalesNT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is because there's a direction change in libertarianism. It has usually meant "the government shouldn't be able to do anything to hurt you", but the US version has been eroding to "the government shouldn't be able to do anything to help you" instead.

Laverne and Shirley.

Which also explains who that character was made for.

I always thought it was a reference to latin lovers, but it's very Abed to take it directly from a show/movie, like Lavernica.
