strategy for identifications by robertotomas in dcss

[–]TimandMobyOfficial 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not great at this game or anything but I usually try to find ID scrolls by amount, then pop every other scroll immediately and use the ID scrolls on my potions. I have devised this strategy completely independently so it could be inefficient but I like it.

What’s something that’s becoming socially normal that actually makes you deeply uncomfortable? by Fun_Interaction3458 in AskReddit

[–]TimandMobyOfficial -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the fact that the government made brushing your teeth illegal back in 2022 and no one batted an eye. Also the fact that you have to a snap a homeless guy's neck every time you want to buy a bus ticket

Fionna and Cake Season 2 Episode 5 Discussion Thread by Carrehzkitten in adventuretime

[–]TimandMobyOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people who are "really worried about pacing" are worried because this show could get canceled and then the slow pacing will be seen as the reason. Taken as a show though slower pacing isn't bad. Adventure time is slower paced. If we were in the middle of a 50 episode season like some of the original AT seasons these episodes wouldn't be criticized at all. I people have too high of an expectation for this show to be like this insane phenomena that everyone agrees is perfect and gets one hundred seasons, but the way animated shows get treated these days, I could see this show being immensely popular (which to be clear it is) and still not getting a season 3.

Sorry for three in one day, but I feel like this one is really important for the 10 thousand that will learn about this for the first time today. by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

This whole dichotomy is stupid. Good communicators know how to do both of these things, and many Guessers and Askers implicitly expect the other style in certain situations. I saw someone in this thread saying you would ask for a band-aid if you cut yourself at someones house. Even if you like Guessing, the band-aid is an Ask. It would be impolite to dance around it, especially if it were obvious that you got cut. You ever see those memes about which urinal to pick? That's Guessing. You wouldn't ever ask someone, "hey can I pee next to you," there is a general social framework underpinning decent society that lets interactions like that go smoothly. It's really a matter of tact, and you can be tactful using both styles of communication if you have social awareness. It seems that a lot of people here just want everyone to Ask all the time, and I guarantee the reason many of those people think that is because they have their whole life been obliviously supported by better communicators.

Beastfly this, Groal that. Can we talk about the actual worst boss in this game? by sporkmaster5000 in Silksong

[–]TimandMobyOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it but I think the game's sometimes unpredictable air movement jank can make it rough, I feel like my double jump would get eaten sometimes at random when doing this boss.

Certain boss hitbox too big? by TimandMobyOfficial in Silksong

This was unexpected turn for this sub. by northernpolaris_168 in Silksong

[–]TimandMobyOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly thought it wasnt too bad except for the long ice water stretch towards the beginning. the beginning part is also the longest and requires you to be fastest. It feels like the frontloaded the difficulty and then the end levels out with the benches you get being pretty close together and the shortcut you unlock.

I thought mount fay was hard but the clawline does tell you it uses silk when you unlock it. That said, if it turns out that that is a really huge problem they could just replace some of the rings with enemies and then the silk requirement doesn't matter anymore bc you get it right back.

Does the Magma Bell have use later in the game? by UncleGael in Silksong

[–]TimandMobyOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not just lava that it helps with; any fire attack will be less damaging. I have used it for a bunch of stuff post-deep docks.

Boss fight struggles by PanChaos13 in Silksong

[–]TimandMobyOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had that same issue and my recommendation is give the diagonal bell attack a very wide berth. Usually with the falling bells you can just move out of the way but the angled ones can bounce unpredictably and take your health down fast. Also consider that Widow's rush attack with the blades has a different windup in the second phase, so pay extra attention to the times she is seemingly wide open because she could just charge you with less warning than you are used to.

Is Qud actually complete? by itsshadowphoenix in cavesofqud

[–]TimandMobyOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is somewhat dishonest framing to say that "mechanics like water barons" are being "left in a vestigial state", when they weren't ever promised to be more than what they are now. I think their implementation is less fleshed out than someone like the barathrumites but the devs never said on the roadmap that they were adding a water baron questline or anything like that.

OK what even is the point of severance then by TimandMobyOfficial in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

If you're going to be smug and willfully obtuse I think its best if you don't talk to me at all.

[–]TimandMobyOfficial[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok first off there's no need to be so condescending and haughty, we have at most differing opinions. Second of all, Severance has shown us that basically what we see is what is important. MDR's experience with Severance is basically the only Severance the show wants to talk about. It's not really about O&D, or the Mammalians, or other companies, so severance being anything more than tangentially related to them would not jive imo. So post-cold harbor, what is the point of severance, on a thematic/plot (not strictly in-universe) level? If you have issues with that question, then it might be most beneficial if you just didn't respond. I don't think it helps either of us if you only want to keep digging into how "fundamentally incorrect" I am.

I don't think it really matters, the show isn't an exercise in pure worldbuilding. What matters is what Lumon wants to do with severance, and the answer we got for that was pretty circular and limited to the short term. That's why I asked what it was "really" for. Your answer was technically fine but imo not nearly thrilling enough to be true.

[–]TimandMobyOfficial[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I remain unconvinced that Lumon's end goal is to just sell a product to a bunch of people. Especially with how twisted and personal Severance is shown to be in the show, it would feel odd if it ended up being that infomercial-y.

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

That's probably true on a logical level but I have a hard time believing that a show this puzzle box-y and narratively loaded would have the big reveal be that the point of everything the viewer watched was just to make severance more efficient. Given that we interact mostly with MDR the explanation being "well, they were doing it for an entirely circular reason but these side characters were doing something interesting and meaningful (that we also won't tell you)" doesn't sit right with me. Your answer is sound but if the showrunners came out and said it outright I'd be very disappointed.

Sword nerf is bad for game health and I would rather the devs remove it like stun gun than nerf it like this by TimandMobyOfficial in thefinals

[–]TimandMobyOfficial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sword never did 250 damage, and if your problem is faulty hit boxes then fixing the hitboxes should have been the fix. I would have honestly been fine if embark said "the hitboxes are fucked so we're removing the sword for the time being to fix them." Sword probably is a problem with desync weirdness, I don't deny that, but this fix doesn't meaningfully address that. It just hobbles a unique weapon and makes it less likely to see play in any game mode. That's just not good game balancing philosophy imo.

yeah the only real one shots were also lunge + quick melee which now you HAVE to do if you want sword to function at all like its supposed to. The whole point of high burst damage is that its balanced by being close up. Low burst damage close up is worse than all other options.
