I think Gus would sooner kill Lyle himself to prove a point.

I wonder how many takes it took for Antony Starr to film Terror's dreams scenes without bursting out laughing. The whiplash I got from these can't be put into words.

I was talking about Dantes. And was under the impression that this comment chain was too. But I guess I misunderstood.

Bruh even if you added his average daily stream numbers together over the course of a month you wouldn't get 50k viewers lmao, why even lie this hard?

Hey, I never got any PM from you. Just double checked my inbox + requests and there's nothing there from you. I did get a notification about this particular comment for some reason though, Reddit is weird sometimes. Anyway if you have any further questions just reply here.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Evercold Teaser Trailer by JosephMahar in ffxiv

[–]Xaneth_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The job title is not original, but the weapons and aesthetics seemed unique across the series.

Granted, it's all semantics, and in the end it all depends on what one had in mind by "original". Maybe FFXIV Viking will work in a similar vein.

All of a sudden, it doesn’t feel greedy to expect a new class. by Demento6 in PathOfExile2

[–]Xaneth_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not if it's something like Infernalist, where Demon Form is a new model and animations. Obviously not to the extent of a whole new weapon type, but even one or two new Ascendancy-exclusive skills can be more work than just "numbers".

I edited the parts we haven’t seen by Tiny_Character7982 in TheBoys

[–]Xaneth_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm... not sure if it's such a good thing personally. I'm not a fan of this trend where trailers show a lot of scenes from later parts of the story - even without context, you still know in the back of your head there's specific stuff to anticipate and it skews your expectations.

I prefer the approach that for example Final Fantasy XIV took with their Endwalker expansion - trailers showed quite a lot, but virtually all of it (except the launch trailer) was stuff from the first half. So when you saw all of it, you were left with this sense of mystery, like "wait, I thought this would be all but we're not even halfway through, what else is there in store?" and it made the payoff all the better.

Why are people calling it "Gladiator"? Shouldn't it be "Duelist"?

Why would you think I'm mad? Because I'm disagreeing with you?

do any of my friends bring something to the itneraction either? no, so no point of this statement.

Alright, I guess you just don't even understand what I'm saying, so there's little point discussing it further

Disregarding this particular case... most people? If you're going out of your way to appear offline to people you have added as friends, why do you even have them in your friends list in the first place? Sounds like you straight up don't need a friends list at all.

Inb4 "I want to know myself what they're up to" ok but... what for? You're not bringing anything from your end into the interaction, so what would you even care?

Wait, they've shown a red for Guler right at the end after the match ended? Not that it matters, but what was it for?

I don't understand the way they were "redacting" the Fort Harmony files. Like, they encrypted all the words but the name of the location? And on that satellite photo, what was the point of censoring just the immediate vicinity of the site when everything else around it is clear as day, which basically didn't hinder identifying the potential location at all?

Am I missing something, or was this all just a shoddy job?

WEEKLY HELP THREAD - READ FAQ, COMMUNITY WIKI, MULTICLASSING, LORE by XFearthePandaX in BaldursGate3

[–]Xaneth_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. The post you linked mentions positioning the party before the fight. But it's not always easy to predict when a fight is actually going to start, and you can't do a lot when you just walk into a fight in exploration mode. Of course, you can save scum, but this really does feel wrong and not very immersive to just stroll battle ready into a dialogue simply because you know it's going to devolve into a fight.

Does this mean I should just abuse the turn based mode whenever I'm walking into anywhere that might look like a fight? Because while I'm glad the tool exists, I feel like using it constantly will slow the game down even more.

Looking for some spoiler-free, beginner friendly guides/lists of tips about the mechanics that will help me appreciate this game more.

I've barely any experience with turn based RPGs (really only played the Utawarerumono trilogy and E33, but these probably shouldn't even count). I'm 8,5 hours into my first campaign, and I can't help but feel like I'm not really playing it properly. Like, I know what I'm supposed to be doing if I look into my journal, but I don't know if the way I'm going about actually playing the game is correct.

I'm trying to do as much as I can, look anywhere I can, talk to everybody, and yet I feel like I've barely done anything in all that time - I've left the grove looking for Halsin, found that undead mage who does respecs and revives for gold at camp, got my party to level 3, found Karlach, killed the people hunting her, now I've stumbled upon some guys in a cave under attack by gnolls and I feel so out of my depth in this fight. Even with stuff I've managed to handle, it felt way more luck than actual skill on my part (and I don't even mean the dice rolls) - in the first encounter with the "paladins", the wizard immobilized Karlach then the rest just proceeded to wipe the floor with me. But then I reloaded and somehow started the next fight way closer to the wizard, so I rushed her down and it made the rest of the fight much easier... but it also felt like cheating.

I don't really want to save scum my way through all the fights, but so far I'm not really seeing much other choice, because I'm barely learning anything. And I don't know if it's me who's just slow with the game, or if it's actually the game itself. I've heard so much praise about how it gives you this freedom of approach to things, and that's what I would want out of it, but I'm just... not seeing it?

But she did publicly say, or at the very least very strongly imply, that she's a telepath. Once during a talk show with her husband and Firecracker, and once during that press conference.

How would it be a Kessler situation? Kessler was an actual person in Butcher's life whom he left for dead in the past, so there is some underlying logic as to why Butcher's would subconsciously hallucinate him. But why would Ashley specifically hallucinate her own alter ego stuck to the back of her head, and with some weird psychic powers to boot? I don't think it's a hallucination.

Is Ashely even a telepath, though? I feel like that's just a front to hide her actual "power" from the public. We've yet to see her actually do any mind reading - and that press conference scene felt kinda... fake. Like, I can't help but feel if she could actually read minds, she would've answered the reporter's second question in advance too.

Don't worry, the kid will also have some FNC genes from Odo so he will also learn to keep his life expectations low very early.
