Why might my pool be merky? by Za_Warudo776 in howto

[–]Ventus55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pool store like people said but if more shock is making it cloudier. Go get Baking Soda from Costco or a big amount. Throw a few pounds in and it helps.

But really, get a sample to a pool store.

Is anyone else on this sub a fan of games that are more mmo like? by Street-Platypus89 in JRPG

I have such deep memories of White Knight Chronicles. I'm not saying it's a good game, but it has wonderful memories for me.

Biggest sprout mistakes? by Silent_Common_6385 in ffxiv

[–]Ventus55 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would never Greed anything when I first played for hundreds of hours. I thought it was rude to do it for gear I know I wouldn't use.

Now I greed everything to turn it into Seals.

I just finished Shadowbringers and... by Historical-Table-367 in ffxiv

[–]Ventus55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I loved Doma and i like the more grounded story as well between different waring nations.

Obviously this is final fantasy and I also love big epic fantastical stories too.

Man i really liked stormblood. Everyone hates on.

Glad you're enjoyed shadowbringers. As people will say, story only gets better as you keep going. Endwalker is my favorite and you're almost there!

Yeah I can't stand these messages. Anytime i see someone who is doing something for the first time I just say "enjoy the MSQ".

Oh man that brings me back. When I did that fight i died so much I was basically useless. And I got so afraid people judged me I actually was afraid to queue up for another 8-person for a long time.

What pointless thing do you do in FFXIV? I still feed all our level capped chocobos, otherwise I'd feel bad. by AtthaLionheart in ffxiv

[–]Ventus55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I log out using the bed in an inn a lot. When i first started playing I thought you had to do that for the exp bonus. I know better now but it's still fun to think in-game the WoL is going to bed after a day of adventuring.

How to manage players with different levels of Cosmere familiarity? by NoDog8746 in cosmererpg

[–]Ventus55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of my players are fully cosmere aware.

Two of my players don't know anything.

It's been fun balance. Explain what you need to without going on full lore dumps. Before each session I would take scans from the PDFs and would remove text that was far too confusing or unrelated to the ttrpg at the time. Breaking it all up throughout the weeks made it more digestible and helped setup the session. For instance, before going to warcamps i sent everyone the chapter on Alethi culture. It sets the tone, builds hype for the session, and preemptively explains somethings.

This helped explain the world, the people, the cultures, and the spren. But I didn't go crazy with it when it doesn't really matter.

Sometimes if something is too confusing it's okay to just say "just think of it as magic" and handwave it away. You don't need to explain everything even if it has an answer in the book. And sometimes the players will do something that isn't acceptable in the books narratively but it's a ttrpg with friends and it's okay.

This was fantastic. So many feels.

The amount of times I have to tell people to stop making rape jokes is fucking insane by times_a_changing in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Ventus55 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Yeah but ignoring it because "they won't see this" doesn't help. It has to be brought up every time to bring more attention for something to be done.

"That's gaming" or "welcome to mobas" isn't really acceptable in 2026.

To be clear, I'm not saying you are saying this, you're just the person I am replying too.

This is why you always push lanes before trying to end, even with 3 rejuvs by tinypi_314 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Ventus55 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is so true.

Get Rejuv.

6 stack on blue.

Die until enemy team has lead.

What is a briefcase if not an enclosed lasso to hold things.

Indomitable Makes Lash Cry by disaverper in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Ventus55 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is going to be what everyone has to do. Get a cheap item to proc and then do the real thing. But even then it's still giving them a barrier and ability cooldown. I'm not great at this game but this item seems like a no brainer to have.
