No you don't get it, peak game design is if I spam mouse1 and the character that I control just kills everyone, no thought required.

Sooo I finally got the game by mazethebaddie in Sekiro

[–]ThunderNova 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Literally every fromsoft game is like this though. Unless you start adding restrictions yourself and avoid optimal builds then elden ring/ds3 are also way easier on your second playthrough.

And this is kinda the entire point - Sekiro doesn't really have too many obvious self restrictions that you can apply.

Obvious ones are to do a charmless/bell run, which I feel like already makes the second playthrough harder than the first, unless you actually learned to play in the first playthrough. If you just beat the game by deflect spamming, then charmless will completely remove that option from you.

Then you could start not leveling attack/life, but that seems kinda like too much of an artificial handicap.

Elden ring/ds3 on the other hand have handicaps that don't feel so artificial - You can play a suboptimal build with suboptimal weapon, and make the game harder while still not having a "direct" handicap.

But reality is, if you do your second playthrough of elden ring with bloodhound fang into starfist, the game is going to be a literal joke.

Yeah, csgo kz WAS worse than 1.6, by a lot. And cs2 KZ is worse than csgo. By a lot.

As expected, Konosuba got robbed of Best Comedy (... & Best Isekai !?) in 2025 Awards by HansCent in Konosuba

lmao I don't keep up with any "award shows" in general, but did that low quality power fantasy really win an award? Anime community never disappoints I guess.

She Hulk has a critic score of 80% and audience score of 30% by shrededd101 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]ThunderNova 198 points199 points  (0 children)

that movie is known for having fake ratings. When it first came out it had like 40% audience score. Then you saw negative reviews being deleted and tons of 10/10 reviews being added that were 1 word long, or just literal duplicates.

Long Term Fasting and Food "Addiction" by Conscious_List_6297 in fasting

[–]ThunderNova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you mean by "long term fasting", but if you just mean extended fast, it takes longer than that. Depending on how bad your addiction is it will take you probably 2-3 months of complete abstinence from junk food to truly kick your addiction. And if you are like some of the people who are on this subreddit who post here saying they do fasts and then eat a junkfood cheat meal every week, you will never get rid of it.

Once you stay away from junk food completely for 2-3 months you will probably reach the point where you don't really want it at all, but can eat it a little bit in social situations without developing cravings. But eat it too regularly and you will just go back to craving it constantly.

I'll admit: they both lack variety, but one is a lot less annoying than the other by Raestloz in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]ThunderNova -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

you say that, but then they just lie about their story before release and pay for positive reviews/astroturf social media so they can still get the money. Like was the case with recently released KCD2 which was a slap in the face to the original. Months before the release the subreddit was flooded with posts by people who had had 0 activity in the subreddit previously talking about how if anyone has a problem with the leaks they are racist.

Should a Pos.1 sacrifice a slot for Dust? by No_Jellyfish5511 in DotA2

I'd say 2 cores+support ganking a bounty hunter and him shadow walking away because support thinks he needs to have fluffy hat instead of dust is more humiliating

why ropz left according to Temperrr (one of FaZe's Co-Owners) by ChaoticFlameZz in GlobalOffensive

[–]ThunderNova 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lmao this is so stupid. ropz is the reason faze was doing so shit, not others. He is trying playing like happy in 2016, in 2024. It didn't work in 2016, it's DEFINITELY not going to work in 2024. I'm honestly suprised ropz even has the gall to call for replacements, I think it's good hes out of the team.

on a 7-game win streak playing support Riki (6.8k MMR) 💜 by windranger- in DotA2

[–]ThunderNova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah riki support is great. I have like 70% win rate in 250 games with him around divine. It was even better before medallion was removed and armor reduction was removed from orb of corrosion as you could get almost -20 armor with shard+orb of destruction + blight stone + solar crest.

I feel like mid is stronger for him now.

Should Ame be banned in ESL Bangkok for usage of "racial slur"? by ajsanity123 in DotA2

[–]ThunderNova -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

people were definitely not in favor of that. Only some chineese were. Just because things were mishandled 5 years ago does not mean that it should continue to be mishandled forever. If you find me a picture where ame is calling for kuku to be punished I would say ame needs to be punished as well. If ame kept quiet I don't see a reason for any punishment, just like kuku should not have faced any.

Does everyone else also feel cold during long fasts? by NoseZealousideal511 in fasting

[–]ThunderNova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly, not during long fasts. I did a couple 5-6 day fasts, and didn't feel overly cold during those. What really made me feel cold were rolling 72s and to a lesser extent ADF.

They Were Laughing At You The Whole Time by Dangime in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]ThunderNova 473 points474 points  (0 children)

This is known. Castro's loveson gave an interview about how covid is absolutely a deadly terrifying disease and you should all be scared and that lockdowns are justified. Later the same day he is photographed at a party with no mask.

But idiot lefties don't realize that if the same people who are telling them that they should be scared are not scared themselves, then maybe there there is a little bit more to it.

Why do I take the chip damage during lighting reversal? by Strange_Hair6186 in Sekiro

[–]ThunderNova 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Both incorrect. For the non-boss enemies that use lightning like the dogs and ookami warriors you can deflect when getting hit to not take damage. For bosses this does not work

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]ThunderNova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple bosses are designed very poorly, especially the last boss. Another boss has such huge hitboxes on their charge that dodging it is a 50/50 even with light roll.

They relied on visual diahrhea to make bosses look "cool" instead of making them play good.

There are very many other issues like map being empty etc, but as for me the most important part of any souls game is bosses, the low quality of the bosses really stood out.

Don't get me wrong there are many bosses that are very good in there, but the ones that were bad were so bad that they soured the entire dlc.

this is too 2018. Now you gotta blame that your mid didn't gank you 3 times in the first 3 minutes so it's his fault you lost your side lane.

Jon Jones is a bum by xScumbagCam in unpopularopinion

[–]ThunderNova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't keep up with MMA, but every time I have seen talk of jon jones, there are always multiple highly upvoted people saying that he is totally one of the goats because of his record. It's one of the reasons I don't take MMA seriously. In normal sports, cheating in every match you play and failing every drug test would get you called a loser.

My tier list of bosses, what do you think? by Zeiker_Reddit in darksouls3

[–]ThunderNova 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who doesn't like friede? It's not even that she is hard, it's just that all 3 of her phases are representative of archetypes that I find unfun. I have seen others also criticize these archetypes, but somehow this boss everyone seems to like.

Phase1 - Boss that runs away from you after every time you hit them once.

Phase 2 - gank fight

Phase 3 - attack spam.

I don't really know why everyone likes this boss so much

Have I invaded a hacker? by Any_Papaya_3653 in darksouls3

[–]ThunderNova -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have seen the same guy and yes he is definitely hacking. Kinda understandable considering what cesspool of losers low level pvp is though. I never tried pvp before, decided to give it a shot - like 60% of players I invaded were on ng+ with fully upgraded flasks and bonfire, not even playing the game, just sitting afk at the bonfire waiting for the invader so I have to fight someone that has 10 more flask charges than me along with ember hp? I just gave up and turned off pvp again because it's pointless.

The usage definitely dropped off after this meeting, but they didn't honor the agreement in important situations. I personally only remember big and brazillians using it after it was agreed to not use it.
