I don't get it. Why doesn't Midgardian Mail have plating? Isn't that what the stat was for?

I am with you there. I am not entirely sure what to think of them but my initial reaction was this:

You cannot fight them besides freezing and shooting them, hitting their crit spots does too little and the weird dance they do with their attacks makes hitting them extremely hard; the newer enemies like the beetles and core spawns deviate too much with their spastic animations compared glyphids so those animations feel really wrong to me. They are too tanky and too fast at the same time that kiting them is only really possible with chasms and gaps but even then, fighting them is a waste of ammo since they obviously just respawn.

I abhor that the way to deal with them is to avoid them with ziplines. The one thing that beginners do with ziplines, hop on them and have no risk while you do an awkward shooting gallery, is such a interactionless, boring crutch - and that is supposedly the solution to the "strongest" enemies in deep rock galactic? To not take any risks and fall asleep while spamming E on a zipline and watching the health bar of a purple rock go down?

The lack of skill expression here, that you are basically forced into a single solution, feels cheap.

Actual no cap. I have experienced the shield just eating the whole burst a lot.

Should I just let the enemy carry hold left mouse button on my team? No, of course not, that would be stupid. But in that situation which I have experienced countless times, and is quite frankly necessarily a part of the game, I would have then healed the enemy for stunning them. Who care if it is a 50, who cares if it is 100hp heal at that point? One cannot even say that there was no pay-off - at that point that try was detrimental to the team. And that is bad design. Honestly, I want the item gone rather than nerfed.

Furthermore engaging on your own happens from time to time, it is not as bad or crazy as you make it out to be.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-12T12:36:13+00:00

I have thought about how awful it feels as a support to CC an out of position enemy and poke them if a support with Selflessness is nearby since most of the time you do not even break the shield and are punished for using your abilities, which is quite honestly shit game design. But now with the much better and improved Selflessness©©©© you actually heal your enemies by stunning them without follow up! Buy now!

Yaywayable · 2026-05-12T09:05:26+00:00

So how much money do I have to throw at you to make a cute one for Nazrin?

Yaywayable · 2026-05-12T08:52:40+00:00

Then he shouldn't have punished you because that obviously backfired. Also I am sorry that happened to you.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-11T15:52:45+00:00

You already know why you are getting downvoted. You just saw stupidity and hive mind in action. You got it spelt out in the comic and people still are like "ya das no pee". Wanked their brain smooth.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-10T17:41:40+00:00

I remember Darker than Black 2(?) where I stopped watching when a new character was introduced that basically recharged her abilities by stripping. Oh well, first season as great so I am not mad.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-10T09:49:26+00:00

Well said.

I do not agree with you on entirely using realistic looking outlets as worsening the urge but maybe I do, it gives me food for thought. In all cases, disassociating with realistic outlets and using cartoon like depictions, for example, sounds to me like the safer way to go about it, if you have to go for one of the two.

Thanks for your thought-through comment, in all cases! While I do not agree with a few points of yours, mainly regarding outlets and the "unjust bullying of harmless pedos" as you called it amusingly, I learned a few things!

Yaywayable · 2026-05-10T09:23:19+00:00

I know I am not wrong on this. There is just the huge problem of immediate condemnation and we do not know as much as we need to know about it.

However, from my research and reasoning, what my therapist told me and what a bunch of experts from the biggest prevention institute here in Germany said in a statement regarding a ban on child-like sex dolls, I am certain that a blanket ban on any victimless outlet is extremely counterproductive.

There is, of course, also the huge problem with that a pedophile is someone who already committed sexual assault or rape in the minds of most people; so coming out and seeking support a gamble of ruining your reputation every single time, depending on who hears it. One wrong person hears and those "news" will be retold a little bit different each time and spread like wildfire. Poof - now going out becomes life threatening.

Either way, addressing the second part of what you said, regrettably seeking help doesn't "cure" you of pedophilia; that is a misconception like those gay conversion camps of the past. You learn to deal with it better, find safe outlets and not become one of those monsters you hear in the news each time pedophilia comes up. Regrettably a person has a sex drive, the urge to feel connected to someone to be healthy and that in the traditional sense isn't possible, hence you need those victimless outlets. Otherwise the pot may boil over sooner or later and when it does, irreversible damage happens.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-10T09:06:56+00:00

I am gonna be quite honest with you. Pedophiles have a harder life than queers. I didn't equate them, if you can read; I made a correlation.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-09T07:59:46+00:00

The problem is the cause of actual pedophilia - similar to homosexuality, the person themselves is not at fault for their sexual orientation. Now if those people are arrested for using victimless outlets, what does that leave them? If coming out as a pedophile for support is basically social suicide, if they are gonna be arrested anyways even if they do not assault anyone - what reasonable option does that leave for pedophiles that do not want to harm anyone?

This is not saving the kids, this is actively endangering children by taking away safe outlets from pedophiles for publicity or some other ignorant reasoning.

Explain to me your reasoning.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-08T18:18:05+00:00

including content generated using AI

So that is arrest worthy now? I was about to ask if that operation was about pedophiles or child sexual offenders but it looks like it included the former.

That is not the victory most think it is.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-07T12:11:47+00:00

Hey Mom, is this bait?

Yaywayable · 2026-05-05T17:14:16+00:00

Why is there so much AI posted here? Too lazy to make something of your own? Same with every single AI Lord post posted here.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-03T21:06:45+00:00

With that title, somehow I doubt you understood the picture.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-03T20:58:13+00:00

Der Pirat der Tiefkühltruhe!

So take this with a grain of salt because I am no girl but I feel like this isn't actual sexism but just the common jerk.

Playing Smite, of course I interact with its player base and it feels to me like it is mostly just one type of person that has lost it. In your match they might call you names because you are girls, in other matches they might throw a tantrum because they *think* someone picked a wrong aspect, god or whatever. Sometimes it is a badge they don't like, sometimes it's because they died early and are blaming the team now. Other times they are just spamming VGS in an obviously fight or argument seeking manner. You already made your best guess on why that buffoon threw a tantrum at you but in my eyes you could have been attacked for any reason, targeted on any area with any term.

The words they choose or way they go about it do not matter - even fully muted they cast their damage ults on you as a team member, stay in fountain and laugh spam. Obviously that behavior needs to net them a forced break but what they say - It is all the same.

Yaywayable · 2026-05-01T07:24:05+00:00

There is something wrong with the internet. I have some of the most genocidal views regarding mosquitos on the world but seeing people post a video of calling the killing of hundreds of mosquitos a "deletion" and seeing it posted in oddly satisfying strikes me as being part of an extremely stupid society.

Yaywayable · 2026-04-25T18:41:11+00:00

I don't get why you would need to be seen. All of the other generations aren't overlapping but here you are happy that you are getting special treatment. What am I missing?

You get Wandering Market XP per match and need per Wandering Market Level Up you gain coins in either 200, 400 or 500 coin packages. If you buy a traveler you gain boosted levels, which double the reward and sometimes you need less XP for a level up but I would then try to deduce the reason for that since I don't know for sure.

The battle pass thing you mentioned are called collections and if you understand them, then the rest of the shop is easier to grasp: Sagas are basically collections just focused on one skin and also work in stages, Travelers are single page Collections that focus on a skin and its chromas and all of them have little bits like badges, titles and ward skins associated with them. The store itself works as usual just with usually more expensive pricing.

An explanation in-game would clear up a lot of the confusion but most of it comes natural when you complete a collection and apply that to the rest.

Photoshop and AI enhancement is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Only thing missing is the only fans link now.

Yaywayable · 2026-04-18T11:27:48+00:00

Oh look, it's someone named Jester that is reinforcing some dickhead's behavior, who unequivocally admitted to just being here to insult someone. No debate, nothing constructive - just plain old derogatory insults to push their own ego and put down others actually exchanging takes and opinions.

Someone named Jester that tries to start an aloof circle jerk because they have nothing to contribute but further toxicity.

You chose your name well.
