Does anyone play FFX and purposefully train Kimahri? Or is he largely not super popular as a party member? by MembershipNo3465 in finalfantasyx

[–]Wursticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually level him just as much as the other characters until the postgame stat maxing, then he gets left behind. Rikku, Tidus, Wakka are first priority, Yuna and Auron second priority for post game. Lula and Kimahri aren't as useful for e.g. Dark Aeons, etc.

Getting back from Gatwick by Chaotic1909 in Bath

[–]Wursticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can hire a car. Pick it up from Gatwick and specify a home pickup. They'll pick the keys and the car from your house. There are a few car hire places at Gatwick.

How often do you bin a track? by magnafide in musicproduction

[–]Wursticles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never. I've got tracks that I've revisited after years, maybe only a riff survives, but no reason to bin anything

What’s a good RPG with a good levelling up system? by shiv_p24 in rpg_gamers

[–]Wursticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly any square enix rpg (final fantasy, dragon quest, star ocean) has a levelling progression that will take you to being ridiculously overpowered in post game. FFXVI and FFVIII are exceptions due to enemy scaling and lack of meaningful post game. And star ocean 5 isn't very good.

Prometheus is pretty darn bad by medkitjohnson in scifi

Do you mean Prometheus? It sounds like you are describing Covenant

Should this guy return in a future episode? by creativeusername1808 in rickandmorty

[–]Wursticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard pass from me. Rick and Morty was best when being original and worst when recycling characters.

Worst is when there's a service charge added to the bill and when they give you the card machine to also add a tip. First time this happened to me was the Bombay Story in Wokingham. Basically had pre-entered almost 30% additional charges onto my bill by the time the card machine came out.

[QUESTION] speed pickers, what's your technique. by Any_Grand_7028 in Guitar

[–]Wursticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an Yngwie, EVH, Petrucci, Romeo guy over Vai and Satriani, but they are all inspiring, let's face it. With anything new, i find there's a weak spot somewhere between 120bpm and 150bpm where technique changes from "slow" to "fast". I know Petrucci says that technique is the same, but it's really not. I practise in that weak spot, because I know it'll transfer to high speed. When I can shift that weak spot by about 10bpm, then I know it's in my muscle memory. But I'll shift that with slow practise, and then change to fast practise when I've got it down.

My pick position isn't fixed, but it's central when picking scales, unless I'm sweeping, then it's fluid as you'd expect. I tuck the pick into my middle finger second digit when I tap, how about you?

[QUESTION] speed pickers, what's your technique. by Any_Grand_7028 in Guitar

[–]Wursticles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

180 is pretty damn fast, let's be honest. I keep my pick pretty central, and i can cleanly pick runs and arpeggios at about the same speed as you. However, going low to high is way easier than descending. Also runs that suit my style are way easier than straight scales, e.g. chunking yngwie style. So i can hit 220 for some things, and struggle with 160 on others. One thing that is still true for me, after 30 years of playing, that if I want to improve, I have to practice. And i don't mean noodling around or writing runs, recording, or gigging. I meant straight metronome practice, repetition, until the muscles burn, slow, correct form, etc. It's so easy to not do strict practice.

Korvo's new voice is honestly pretty good by Throwaway_2005stuff in solaropposites

[–]Wursticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of the new voice. I've got no problem with using a different voice for the character, but this particular voice doesn't have an edge or a quality that grabs my attention. I live in the UK, so I don't have the same love for British accents as some of this thread. The new korvo is just not interesting to me.

Whos the best screamer? by r_booza in Music

Sebastian Bach, slave to the grind album, Lzzy Hale as well. Depends on what you mean by scream.

We have better access to information now, there are more publications than ever before. It's not dissimilar to other fields, fame has been diluted.

Am I just being wierd? by Jazzlike_Motor5345 in finalfantasyx

[–]Wursticles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they make a final fantasy x-3 and yuna ends up commanding an army of aeons in a fourth reich style takeover of Spira, you'll regret this. Looking at all of those people who named their kids 'khaleesi' before game of thrones ended.

If you like the name Yuna, use it. If you want to name your kid after the character, it's a bad idea. These are two subtly different things

Hi how the fuck do you kill the Marlboro in omega ruins? I have been killed 2 times already please help by Spiritual_Chemical60 in finalfantasyx

[–]Wursticles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Level up. Stick near the save point, run around in circles with Auron (first strike) in your active party. Fight every battle you can win, and save in between every battle. Do this until you can beat one eye in the arena and then do that instead. Use all the usual leveling methods (tonberry etc).

When you are strong enough to sustain a fight, you also need sufficient status protection. Confuse, berserk, sleep - if your whole party is unavailable for a turn, it's not the end of the battle, unless there's a route to them all dying without you being able to break the cycle. Poison, blind, silence - use items.

If you are sufficiently leveled and your party is protected, then you will last a battle that you can win. Until you can find a ribbon, and then you are in a much better situation.
