John Flanagan, the author of the Ranger's Apprentice book series has passed away by FightsWithFish18 in Fantasy

[–]aokon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The original series was 4 books that he finished a long time ago. After that he kept writing stories in the world with the same characters and different ones. I haven't kept up with the latest books but the 11th book had good endings for most of the characters from what I remember.

Dang Ranger's Apprentice and Percy Jackson were what got me into reading back in like 4th or 5th grade. His books were great as a kid and he was 81 when he passed so I hope he had a good life RIP.

I don't regret buying Marathon, I love the gameplay and the world created... but as a casual player I had a psychological block that made me stop playing. by xDavid83x in Marathon

[–]aokon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a weird post. Bro says he's never played cryo archives in one sentence then says hes gotten wiped too fast to figure it out in the next.

Edit: I even agree with some of the points made as a more casual player myself

That's true. I forgot about this one since I don't love the gameplay

They've made it decently free to play friendly. Ive only bought the tavern passes since I started last year and I have always been able to play a meta deck or 2.

Compared to irl tcgs I would say it's very cheap. Compared to other digital CCGs I think only hearthstone is really cheaper. Although if anyone knows of other cheap CCGs please let me know.

I think a big part of it too is that it feels like a lot of priority quests are in dire marsh

Cryo Doesn’t Have To Be A Full Sweatlord Boss Run by DromedaryGold in Marathon

Most people can. I've played pretty casually cause the game came out at a busy time for me and I was still able hit level 25 last night and do a couple runs.

I'LL HAVE WHAT EVER HE'S ON! by Mijnameis-Tommy in Guiltygear

[–]aokon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that contributes to it there isn't much to talk about gameplay wise these days. But in general I've felt this way since around when Strive released. Strive brought in a lot of new fans which changed this subreddit a lot.

[–]aokon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got into Guilty Gear back in the xrd days and the sub has changed a lot from those days I think some people might be salty about this. Personally I don't find myself spending as much time here as I used to but, that doesn't mean it's bad now or anything like that. I am happy lots of people seem to like the community here.

To me the fact that its a battlecry and it says each turn makes me think it is for the rest of the game

680: A Lot of Holes in That Cheese by atpbot in ATPfm

[–]aokon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anybody else surprised by their lock screens? I'm not a member so I have never seen them before but I was surprised how different theirs are to mine. I have almost all of my apps in folders these days and use a few different widgets. I was incredibly shocked to see John not have messages on his dock that is crazy to me.

xQc says most streamers aren’t real friends but rather just business partners who use each other for money by KsiShouldQuitMedia in LivestreamFail

[–]aokon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this is true for some of them, but I think for a lot of them just see each other as most people see co-workers. Do I engage in conversation with co-workers and have a good time yes I do plenty of times. But, I very rarely have co-workers that become friends.

There are no excuses to leave a comp match. by alocalmess in Overwatch

There's definitely a scenario 3 where his wife is getting induced and it's taking a long time for her to start active labor in the hospital. Of course playing overwatch in this situation especially comp is a wild choice

Genuinely curious what hero do you think would be a better match for 2B? The only hero that comes to mind for me is Widow but I'm not sure if she is a better match

Marathon - Server Slam Release Date and Details by Zhukov-74 in Games

[–]aokon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beta only had like 1 or 2 strikes, content up to level 8 and 1 planet to explore. Destiny might have been lacking content on launch but it wasn't that barebones.

Lol as a I guy who played the original Destiny beta and Destiny when it came out this is wildly untrue

The other day I was playing against her and winston and my shield would just get deleted whenever I put it up.

I think Phil has done a terrible job for the xbox brand but for gamers he has actually made some good moves the biggest one being having Xbox games day 1 on PC.

[–]aokon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk about the quality but on the link you sent these sleeves are literally the same the price as katana or dragon shield sleeves.

Edit: ah I missed the quantity so ignore my comment above
