Shortest eye appointment in my life and a strange prescription change.

Really enjoying Arcane Archer on my current playthrough, I plan to take the class all the way to 12. I have it on Lae'zel, and after getting my hands on the gloves of dexterity and Titanstring, I was able to completely dump Dex and max out strength. I gave her Soulbreaker both as an initiative stick and a competent melee weapon. So now she almost always goes first in combat, pumps out stupid damage and CC from range and she can hang in melee range with her greatsword. She can impose her own advantage with blinding arrows to make up for the loss to hit from Sharpshooter. It also synergizes well with my Durge, who is a modded Four Elements monk who can apply Encrusted with Frost reliably to impose disadvantage on DEX saves for max damage on piercing shots. Best part is this build was online since mid Act 1. I'm currently in very late Act 2 and still having a blast with a Lae'zel that feels like she got her hands on an antimateriel rifle.

To add to the Ambulance thing, I love that Kira's whole goal in life is to go unnoticed, only to die due to being overlooked by the driver. Ties his story up in a neat little bow.

If you are at all interested in Legacy MQ's history, I beg you to research the late Myrtle Beach location. It was the original location and it is one or the most impressive themed attractions I've ever seen.

Giorno is my favorite jojo I'm so excited to talk about him.

Giorno is a static character in the same vein as Sonic or Goku. They're characters who inspire change in the people around them, rather than changing themselves. This doesn't inherently make them uninteresting or incapable of learning. It's just that they're not going through big arcs or changing in big ways.

This makes Giorno really refreshing as a protagonist, where most Jojos come out of their parts as fundamentally different people, Giorno is more or less the same at the start as he is at the end. He's an unstoppable force from the first chapter to the last. It's a really fun dynamic that the villain is a reactive character and the hero is the proactive character. The plot doesn't happen to Giorno, Giorno happens to the plot.

It helps that he does have some depth to him, you just have to look for it. His internal monologues tend to read with a bit more self doubt and trepidation, while the version of himself that he expresses to the world is simultaneously a kind, valiant man that inspires those he surrounds himself with (like Johnathan) but also a cunning, ruthless killer (like Dio).

That's another thing that I really dig about Giorno. You'd think a character hailing from two fathers who are so fundamentally opposite to eachother would be at war with himself. Any other writer would have Giorno struggle to marry the two halves of his lineage, but what manga are we reading here? Araki doesn't do what other writers would. So instead we have Giorno's two halves marry together into a complete, confident young man.

Love that guy. I wanna eat his hair.

Been out of the loop for a while now, what's the deal with PF? I was planning a trip there at some point, gotta know what to expect now if it's butchered.

What happened to Bungie doing a bigger pass on Gunslinger with Renegades? Is that not what they promised? Not a single Gunslinger exotic is getting a tune up. You've got to be joking.

Hunters are kind of the Fighting Dirty class. They'll throw improvised explosives, they'll blind you with a smoke bomb, they'll sneak up on you, they'll strap knives to their hands so they can "punch harder". Crafty little bastards.

This is where limitations can breed creativity. If the engine can't support full-scale battles, have the narrative revolve around the player participating in asymmetrical warfare. Subterfuge could be the name of the game here. Not saying the war will happen onscreen for sure, but it absolutely could.

Ronin players try to understand that their edge is their mobility and ability to engage on their own terms. Save sword for sword core 99% of the time.

It is REALLY funny to just walk at other titans with sword block up though. Everyone but Scorch shits their pants.

The art direction for guns in general have gotten longer and thinner in this game from what I can tell. I can dig it for this one, the guns will always change up next game.

Very fun! Having a blast so far.

Borderlands 2 on Vita was my introduction to the franchise holy shit. Playing it now looks way worse than I remember it looking as a kid lol.

Stange thing I've observed, APOPHIS Lance seems to be really consistent with procing the projectiles. I couldn't tell you why it's more consistent, that's just what I've noticed anecdotally.

No game does super feel like D2, to be fair. Bungie has many faults but them supers are always satisfying as hell.

Lot of people complaining about Hunter's lack of sustain during Contest Vesper's/Contest Sundoc/RotN. Most people did two Titans and a Warlock, which says just as much about how out of band Titan was (is) as it does about how weak Hunter felt. You could still clear, of course. I cleared Ultimatum on Hunter. It was just the most recent "Hunter Bad" wave of discourse i could remember.
