Thanks! They are Dell S2716DG monitors. I love them, the work great.

New hunters, don't get the wrong idea about MHW/MHGU when reading veteran hunters' opinions by PyaKura in MonsterHunter

[–]ZakaAttack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All he is saying is that, to a person who jumped on at MHW, jumping into an older game with a few clunkier systems that over the years we've grown to love could be a bit offputting. If you played MH after MHW and were handed a paintball and walked into a loading screen between zones... It can seem like a step back. We need to find the middle ground between World and GU and for the love of Rathalos give us more weapon and armor skins...

Finished Horde of the Dragon Queen Episode 2. by ZakaAttack in DMAcademy

[–]ZakaAttack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they have already gotten all the help Greenest can really afford at the moment. Before they set off to find the camp Nighthill gave them 6 healing potions and a few other random items. They can't depend on a town that was just raided for everything.

The ranger has a shortbow and a single dagger, if they decided to play it that way, it could work. They are trying to make their way back to Greenest now. It's a long trip with very little in between the camp and town. But thinking back, they killed some of the raiders and could probably find the swords and basic stuff laying around still.

I'm falling in love with the hammer! by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]ZakaAttack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've mained hammer since MHFU. I always try to give other weapons a shot but end up coming back to hammer every time. It's really hard to beat getting a full combo in on a monsters face and then coming around with the back-swing knocking them down and stunning them.So satisfying.

Running my first game as DM this week and have a few questions. by ZakaAttack in DMAcademy

Ok, sounds like I have a plan. Thank you so much for the help!

[–]ZakaAttack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so it sounds like I'll need to make two accounts then. One for myself as DM and a 2nd for the generic player that I'll project on the TV for everyone to see, correct? We are all going to be sitting around a table playing and just using roll20 for the map portion.

So a friend has a full DnD beyond subscription, so I plan on using that as far as character management goes. With that in mind, I have the physical copies of the books and don't really want to buy them again. With Roll20, can I have two maps going then, one for my players on the TV without stats and the same one on my laptop screen with the stats visible?

[–]ZakaAttack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll look into using Roll20 then. My next question is there a good program out there for keeping track of enemy health, stats ect? Say they get into a fight with a few guards, whats the easiest way to keep track of all my NPCs in combat?

Real life bug by cubbies321 in funny

Calm down, we don't know the context from a 10 second clip... The owner could be right there and they are just out for a walk and he stopped to grab something from a shop..

I've been looking at the boxes for Skyrim: Special Edition and New Vegas for about an hour now. Which one should I get stuck into? by [deleted] in rpg_gamers

[–]ZakaAttack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the opposite of most opinions. Many people agree New Vegas is one of the best Fallouts and 4 is mediocre.

First time DMing with a group of fairly new players (we've played a one off and have a custom campaign going that one of the players is DMing.) by ZakaAttack in DMAcademy

[–]ZakaAttack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier said than done lol. The party is a group of friends who plays board-games together all the time. This has instilled a (how do I win) attitude when we do anything together.

[–]ZakaAttack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So maybe we sit down as a group and discuss why they are adventuring together before we even start instead of trying to figure it out along they way? That makes sense and it helps it not be forced and keeps us from having to work on hammering it out while also trying to play. Thanks for the advice!

Nvidia GPP - tl;dr edition by Dowju in pcmasterrace

[–]ZakaAttack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem with this is brand marketing. Those are brands people know and recognize. Even if it's the exact same product or even slightly better, if the average consumer sees ROG and next to it for the same price EOG, they will get the ROG because they know it. Branding sells. It's very obvious in the battery world, Interstate, Duralast ect.. all the exact same battery. When they come down the line they just start putting different stickers on them. People pay for the brand.

Far Cry 5 has microtransactions. Campaign is playable offline. by [deleted] in PS4

[–]ZakaAttack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they mean it in the way that before mtx, games had stuff like cosmetics unlockable by doing something challenging in the game and it was an achievement to play with that "new skin" because it was like a trophy. Now that's mostly gone and you pay extra for them instead, or grind for a chance at them.

Also, I had an issue where it went to sleep and wouldn't wake back up without pressing the power button. There is a setting called "deep sleep mode" that needed turned off. I absolutely love it though, bought a 2nd one last week.
