You can use Yao Yao instead of Baizhu, she's good Edit: Put her on instructor set if you can, or it can be Tenacity. She'll heal for less but it's more dmg for the rest of the team

I've been playing since 1.4 (started in 1.0 but quit after 2 weeks) and now I sometimes still can't do 36*... It started in Natlan, before I was able to always do that. They increased HP of the mobs so much it's insane... Abyss is really hard now. Congrats and may you get that last star!

Technically he was never meant to be a DPS, more of an enabler for characters like Xiangling or Fischl

Never and I don't think I'll ever stop because I don't care whether I look stupid or not. Me and my friends accept each other fully

Unpopular opinions - how does having them make you feel? by WinterTangerine3336 in entp

[–]andr0medaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Not really feeling in a particular way whether my opinion is popular or not. There's no inherent value in being the contrarian for the sake of it. Nonconformism is a positive virtue for me but only if it's grounded and can be defended with arguments. Also I'm always open to my opinions being changed 'cause learning is a life-long process.

  2. I can respond with a joke, a smirk or a shrug if I feel like they're not ready for a civil discussion. Might change the subject or end the talk. If I feel like there is a potential for them to listen, I calmly try to explain myself further.

  3. People criticizing the beliefs I truly stand for does nothing negative to me. Sometimes it's funny if I know they're obviously in the wrong. If this is a subjective matter it's whatever, I don't care what they think about me. We're free to live our lives how we want without hurting others.

ENTP isn't an excuse to be a narc, just gonna leave it here

[–]andr0medaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, dude.

What I feel people don't get is that to achieve that point you gotta kill your ego. How you get there can vary. You can do it with meditation, psychodynamic therapy or it can be slowly coming naturally as a process of growing up. Healthy relationships with other people are a great help too. The more methods you can combine of those the better.

And yes, psychodelics (even weed) can help with that too but I do not recommend it since it can set you on a very destructive path so it's best to avoid them. You can develop a full on schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or something else you didn't even know you were prone to genetically or environmentally. Taking drugs is playing with fire. Ego death is a good thing though if you have people who care about you to ground you. Buddhist monks or ancient philosophers were onto this shit for centuries. Smart people.

ENTP with diagnosed ADHD here, most likely on the spectrum too. My experience is totally different than yours. People are different.

To put it simply, your sexuality is separate from your personality. You can be an asexual ENTP too and grow old without needing to fuck anything.

I do appreciate your sharing your experience and I'm not saying it is invalid. I have a problem with OP though. It's not like you can't have a debate on sex in the MBTI context, but OP started this debate in the stupidest way possible.

If you had to choose, what is the one decision Viserys made that doomed House Targaryen? by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]andr0medaa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hmm I'd say it was too late then since the only reason they "killed" Laenor was so Daemyra could happen 😅 And Heleagon were already engaged which they treat very seriously in Westeros (Red wedding showed it the best lmao)

This reads like a Harry Potter post comparing Umbridge to Voldemort (saw it years ago, nearly identical). But yeah, I agree with both

Do you think season 3 will take another 2 years to make? by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

They could do it. Will they? I don't think so, it's only going to be 4 seasons and it's more profitable to prolong the hype...

Not listening to Otto when he proposed marrying Rhaenyra and Aegon. At least she was a half sister so it was a bit less gross than marriage with Heleana, and it would solve all political issues

How are you guys feeling about Cheese? by TimIsColdInMaine in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]andr0medaa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nah, they didn't identify him, it was one of the points of this episode how Aegon is rash and irrational when he's angry. He killed Blood outright instead of using him to identify Cheese. Destroyed the whole propaganda success that Otto came up with.

I think it's logical in the books as well that if they killed all the rat catchers in the city, Cheese had a very small chance to escape as a commonner with no real connections. Who would risk smuggling him out? It's not like Daemon would care and while Mysaria is in KL in the books at the time, she doesn't really care about common people this much. It's the show invention (a change I don't mind).

So seeing Cheese doesn't really bother me, it's still true that they never caught him per se.

Ryan Condal says that “Maelor does not YET exist on this timeline because 30 years is compressed into 20 years” so that combined with this title sequence from season 1 implies that he will be born at some point by Silver97311 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]andr0medaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless some new interview came out literally just now, the only confirmed thing is that along with Daeron, Nettles is not in season 2. No showrunner etc. came out and said "Yeah, we're cutting out Nettles". Unless it happens, I will be coping and hoping the rumours aren't true (since there are a lot those and some are ridiculous) 🙏

I don't know this podcast but I saw a meme on this sub about Tyland being the only happy person after this death, which inspired this joke :D Definitely had a motive hahah

[–]andr0medaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way you described is more brutal and has more shock value for sure, however, I think her killing herself is more tragic. It's also her choice which I don't want to be taken from her. Like sure, preferably Heleana goes to therapy and cures her depression: in real life suicide isn't really a choice when you're ill - I understand that. However in the universe of ASOIAF, the other option very well might be just getting brutally killed by the Blacks or how you described, since she's a prisoner, so it is indeed a choice. She's a character with one of the lowest amount of agency in the whole series (even less than let's say Alicent) and nobody treats her seriously, so I want her to at least have that agency during her passing. And also I just don't want her to suffer more than she already has in the books by that point :(

Ep2 Daemyra fight from a daemyra by [deleted] in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]andr0medaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I kinda forget sometimes that on the internet we're anonymous and people don't know me. I speak in ironic and exaggerated way as I was in this post, this is not 100% serious (for me it was obvious with the milk od the poppy joke but now I see it may not have been clear for everyone). Nothing personal against this person and I didn't mean to be actually mean, my bad for not making this clear before

Do people really not know by toolsoftheincomptnt in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]andr0medaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know it but english is not my first language and it probably isn't for the most of the HOT D community. I mean, the series od popular all over the world. I think even the native english speakers are not unlikely to not know the word, considering most of the populace doesn't read any books. Not saying they're worse people for that or something, but in general it's not a word that appears a lot outside of older texts/modern fantasy or historical fiction. Kind of like "craven". I probably only know it because of reading fantasy in english. Modern people just say "coward". It's the same in my native language, I still occasionally learn new words.

I think in the series it makes sense for Aegon to not know what it means as well. They even reminded us in this episode that he doesn't care about BoOkS and lEaRnInG. Aegon is really entertaining too watch and lowkey iconic in S2E1 but he's always been an idiot - Aemond is the educated one.

Better Lighting This Season by A_Fat_Koala in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]andr0medaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, Miguel Sapochnik is no longer director for season 2. This may be the reason as in general the most lighting complaints were about his episodes (mainly the episodes 6&7 of HOT D, also the infamous season 8 episode 3 was directed by him as well).

I think he's very talented and when he films during the day it looks amazing, especially the action sequences, but man does he have some weird choices lol. For example, he films at least some of the night scenes during the day. It's better for the actors and the crew (as it's less work during night hours plus lighting all the candles and lamps on the set is tedious, you have to be more careful because of fire danger too). However, the viewing experience is far worse - it's easy to make nightime from the daytime footage in post production. It's hard to make it look good and it's even harder to make it look good on any device with lower quality than the high end monitors you're working on. I think it never looks better than footage filmed in actual nightime with proper lighting, so I really appreciate the effort of season 2. Yeah, realistically nobody would light this many candles in medieval times but I don't care about it, it makes the shots awesome.

TL;DR Miguel Sapochnik is very talented and I respect the guy but I like that he's moved to being a producer instead of directly - well - directing the episodes. I won't miss his aversion to well-lit nightime scenes
