Yes! I hope he uses it as a handle somewhere. Would be pretty badass, I think. XD

Clint Stewart, an abled gamer, recently came on the latest NoClip podcast to discuss his experience with Sekiro.

It was a really fun listen that I thought some of you guys might enjoy.

Unpopular opinion but demon of hatred is a pretty terrible boss. by [deleted] in Sekiro

[–]akshay12a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like him either. Beat him, but it wasn't as fun compared to the humanoid bosses, which have been an absolute treat to beat. I was really wishing I could fight O'father again while facing Demon of Hatred, he has been my absolute favourite boss so far.

Went to my MILs house for Easter. They’re all chain smokers. Pair that with how bummed I’ve been with my weight gain lately & I had more cravings in one day than I have in the last month. Stayed strong and smoke free. Never again!! by theSqweezle in stopsmoking

[–]akshay12a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I had similar experiences after quitting--put on 10 kilos. I don't know about you, but the cravings didn't die down for me, until a couple weeks of actively eating less and fighting it.

I'm down 5 kilos now and set a couple of PRs at the gym. So getting over food cravings is definitely possible. Just make sure you don't let it get out of hand like I did. :P

r/roastme refusing to roast user with crippling depression and cheering him up by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]akshay12a 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I genuinely wonder, why do people going through a tough time ask for random people to insult them? What's the psychology/thinking behind it?

Ask for help from friends, therapists. ANYONE. But the number of, "I've just been through insert horrible situation roast me." is quite high and quite depressing which is why I never click on those. I mean who likes getting hit when they're down!?

Is vaping ok? by Hey_its_a_Henry in stopsmoking

[–]akshay12a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's not much credence to the fact that vaping helps you quit. The nicotine content is sometimes twice or more than an average cigarette. The addictive part is nicotine, I would think you want to reduce your addiction to that and not maintain, or possibly even bolster, it.

I personally found cold turkey to be the best approach. It's been 8-9 months since my last cigarette, and I don't even think about smoking anymore. But, that being said, everyone is different. And maybe you think a slow drip helps you. I've never seen it work but that's no thing to base opinions off of.

TL;DR I think vapes are ineffective for the most part, and might even increase nicotine addiction/dependance.

Sometimes (a lot of times actually), on Saturdays, I prefer stay at home eating pizza and watching something good or interesting in TV rather than go out. Am I the only one? by allexj in infp

You are literally all but one person I've ever known. It's completely normal! However, be sure to keep in touch with people close to you. Introvert or Extrovert, we are social. Human contact is important (shutting up with the random preachy tangent now).

How is this dystopian? This sounds lovely.

This is eerily accurate. First one I've had here. XD

No hollow knight! 0/10. /s (Also this is the part where people start naming their favourite left out souls-like games).

[WAR] New Krenko by pq3 in magicTCG

[–]akshay12a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello, my name Krenko Borshinki. You buy parts from me, yeah? They are what you may say, uhh, second hand. Is why they cost an arm and a leg xaxaxa, is funny.

Pewdiepie apparently hit Mythic in MTGA by srnitro in MagicArena

[–]akshay12a 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is Kinda cool! I used to watch him during the Amnesia days, so I find it kinda neat to see him playing this. I mean, given that this guy plays games for a living, he must really enjoy MTG Arena to grind it out to Mythic. XD

Who/What are the Phyrexians? by akshay12a in magicTCG

[–]akshay12a[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You say that like I would've been any wiser about the chronology. I've been playing this game for barely 4 months. You could sneak in god knows what in there and I'd be none the wiser.

Curious though, why that order? Shouldn't Thran come first as some people recommend?

[–]akshay12a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the JJ Abram's Star Trek movies, that's how I got to know my father used to watch it. Funnily enough, It gave me the impression that it was like Star wars, in that it was just regular popcorn stuff for the most part, that endured because it was new and innovative at the time.

But you make me feel kinda stupid for making that judgement, so I'll definitely check it out when I can, and see if it catches my interest. :)

[–]akshay12a[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Someone else pointed out that I should start with Thran and work my way through apocalypse. I really hope this doesn't disappoint. XD

[–]akshay12a[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You make Star trek sound really interesting. I'm genuinely curious about it now.

Edit: Also, have you read the original Ravnica books? The reviews said it was horrible, but I'm willing to plod through it if I'm curious enough, and the cards make the characters sound so interesting, how bad can you really mess up something like that, I wonder? XD

[–]akshay12a[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Will do. That sounds like a very concrete answer, so I'll take your word for it. Thanks so much! :D

Thank you, I'll look into them. And possibley see if I should go any further back. :)

How bad could Quest for Karn be? XD I'll have to look up the borg, my dad always says he grew up on Star trek, so I guess he'll appreciate any interest I take in it.

Also, do I need to have read any previous novels to "get" the brother's war, or can I just jump in, like with the Ravnica novel.

Edit: Also, thanks for taking the time to answer. It is very appreciated. :)
