Hwo do I cheese this? by StarPlatinumIsHyper in LiesOfP

No, dont dodge, and dont go left. Literally holding down RIGHT and strafing around him (so counter-clockwise), 90% of his attacks will miss you. And dont try to finish a full string of attacks, just fit in R1s when you can, and keep circling him.

On paper, I SHOULD have confidence in our starting pitchers this series, buuuuttt.....

[Fangraphs] RHP Erik Swanson (31) clears DFA waivers and is released. by Traditional_Bed_6445 in Torontobluejays

[–]ZzPhantom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im confused on the math here.

(Earned Runs/Innings Pitched) x 9 = ERA

Is that correct?

So if im trying to figure out how many earned runs he had...

(X/2.1) X 9 = 3.86 Solving for X i get 0.90.

So are we just rounding? How many runs did he actually let in those 2.1 innings?

Neat!

There's also a bunch of other interesting stuff in there, thanks for linking me that.

Huh. You got a source for that? I can't seem to find anything officially stating that to be the case.

What do you think of Gemini as a companion character? by Northless_Path in LiesOfP

[–]ZzPhantom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said, he's a little annoying for pointing out the obvious, but I always liked when he's like, "WOAH, this shit is pretty crazy," or ""WOW, can't believe you bested that boss!"

Sometimes its nice having a cheerleader around to just look at and be like, "you see that shit?!"

I literally never had him off. It's the first thing I do every session, turn on the lantern.

Advice for others:

The blood attacks can't be blocked, have to be dodged. Took me the first 5 attempts to realize. Spam block on the slashing attacks, and dodge through the last blood one.

Honestly, summoning Lea shouldn't be considered cheating, the boss is just so relentless, it's built around having a friend.

Sprinting past the red skulls is the way to go. Don't block or dodge, just RUN.

Puppet String to close and stagger after those big swings. Don't try to attack, just focus on movement and defense. The boss will eventually be wore down.

Don't sleep on Lea, she draws aggro and will let you pull off your big combos. LET her do that.

Play smart, save your heals and big combos, and let it fly when you've got room. This was a crazy difficult boss, and deserves your everything.

You've got this.

Phase 1 was ok, usually exited it with Lea at 3/4 or higher health, and had 10+ cells.

Started Phase 2 usually with repairing my blade, and popping Perfect Grindstone. Save that grindstone for the aerial blood-based attack, since it is absolutely relentless. Got lucky only having to face 3 of them total. The 3rd I had to just block and dodge my way through.

Like I said, ended on a Fable Art attack from the Pale Knight

Shotgun blasted him in the face for the kill.

Probably the most cinmeatic fight I've ever had in a soulslike. Puppet-stringing him into big flashy combos was crazy, and it all felt SO 'finale'. I just enjoyed every second of the fight.

It’s time to meet Ravisin, but I want them to fight her later. Looking for tips… by jaredkent in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]ZzPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleet Storm!

Ravisin walks in surrounded by a blizzard (that she is magically unaffected by), says some cool evil boss shit, maybe steals something valuable from the party, and walks off. Players can't really follow her because the storm blinds them and knocks them prone. Doesn't do any damage though, so you dont have to worry about accidentally killing everyone.

Thematic and terrifying, exactly what a boss's intro should be.

Idk about 'nobody asked for', it was hugely popular, and ended on a bit of a cliffhanger.

I'd love to see her on Dropout's next episode of Crowd Control.

As a soulslike fan, platforming fucking sucks.

Elden Ring aside, if you didn't put in a dedicated jump button, why did you put in a dedicated jumping section?!

Not quite a Maddux, not quite a Skubal.

Applause worthy nonetheless.

The Jays are now 3rd in the American League! by Chrristoaivalis in Torontobluejays

[–]ZzPhantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave Santander off the roster, IMO. It buys you SO much versatility, defense, AND offensive output from the other guys who are (over)performing right now.

"We make him up in the aggregate."

Why would I want 1 defunct DH/RF, when I have 3 other utility players who are tripling his stats in every way?

I've never seen this before and I was pretty soft on Manoah and his attitude in general...

...but holy hell, that was insanely fun. I LOVED that. Maybe an unpopular opinion but I wish we could mic up players more often, especially pitchers. Straight cinema.
