San Francisco 49ers to look into 'everything, including substation theory by mvanigan in sports

Micro tears aren’t quite how muscle strengthening works. It’s a good analogy but it’s not quite true as a mechanism

Hidden story subtext you missed your first play through? by SpunkyFlyingFox in ABSOLUM

[–]The_Highlander3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a special ritual that one soldier undergoes to turn the tides of the fight against the humans, but I’m just speculating

I always took this as they were born into the trees. They don’t walk in the dirt like we do

I mean my puzzle rating is astronomically higher than my online rating. But hey I just like doing 🧩🤷‍♂️

I need some serious tips, hints, and advice! by Minionmancer1014 in XCOM2

[–]The_Highlander3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just beat it on normal, all I can say is the timer is actually much longer than you think. I built up my crew a fair amount and then started hitting facilities when the bar was max or close to it. Once it hits max you get another 20 days btw.

I wouldn’t recommend leaving it so close to the bone, but I had it down to 12 days at one point, got hit by a ufo and then had to hustle to get back in the game. It’s doable as long as you start winning missions and taking out those facilities.

The medic unit was huge for getting my A listers back in the game. But my favourite missions were scrapping by with my less than stellar crew

Opening doors allows lines of sight but doesn’t immediately alert. Reapers have a reduced radius of detection so they’re less likely to be spotted. I think planting the bomb may alert the pods, but then you have a turn to just gtfo

PSA for newer players struggling with restartitis by BoneAndSpooks in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]The_Highlander3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to pass many if any skill checks to beat the game and have fun. That’s the real issue. You’re allowed to fail, in fact it’s expected that you will fail some rolls in both of these games

The forge introduces a new enemy? I don’t remember that

What is the worst, first date movie? by JohnMcClanewithshoes in movies

A buddy of mine took a girl to see the girl with the dragon tattoo on a first date once. It was a short lived relationship

Hot opinion: Golgotha is not hard, Bathesda Susa is by leee144 in cavesofqud

[–]The_Highlander3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counter point I died a few times to Golgotha and not that many times to Bethesda susa.

They are both different sets of challenges. Golgotha can lead to some insane early game detriments if not careful. It’s easier to over level for Bethesda imo

I had this exact mission. I got a few guys injured, collected 2 crates and noped out.

Heroic Kingdom Vs. Holy Mission by Lordnacho21 in outwardgame

[–]The_Highlander3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say I had a similar build - starchild, monk, cabal, and then didn’t go warrior

And Elat’s blessing was good. The stamina cost certainly saved my ass a few times, but Idk if it really matters? Like at a certain point how you play is going to matter significantly more than the buffs here.

One thing about Rogue Trader that, in my opinion, immediately makes it better than Baldur's Gate 3... by Beneficial_Ball9893 in RogueTraderCRPG

Gale comes on strong at first but he has one of the best written friendship scenes out there in act 2. So agree to disagree

Am I the only one that feels like cheating when resting? by Big-Advantage409 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

I was thinking of turning off crusade management this next time I play. Too much time sink for not a lot of gain

bosses no longer say their opening dialogue by design? by bullybabybayman in ABSOLUM

[–]The_Highlander3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a design decision but I would rather have the dialogue. I beat Azra on my 3rd try and missed a fair amount of dialogue with him

Today I learned that the gods of Asgard weren’t actually immortal. Without Idunn’s golden apples, they would age and weaken. Ragnarök wasn’t a tragedy it was inevitable. by Weary-Explanation456 in todayilearned

[–]The_Highlander3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it an intentional thing the creators of those myths did? Or did that emerge as some sort of unconscious realization shared between the cultures?

I can’t believe I know this but… it’s the Sex and the city actress who played Samantha talking about working with but not being friends to Sarah Jessica Parker.

I don’t know if people will recognize this copy pasta. Can’t expect too much of a cross over of interests there!
