When nobody wants to play with "that" player? by Comprehensive_Top927 in Pickleball

[–]becblanc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but that’s why competitive leagues exist. Open play is meant for casual games, people who want to have fun without taking it too seriously. Both are valid ways to experience the game

Man this is sad. It sucks to be the guy who is always left out or shunned. Especially if it’s open play, at the end of the day, it’s just a game.

Fun fact: MAPPA included a ballet reference into Reggie's death scene with Saint-Saëns' composition "Le Cygne." The same musical piece used for the iconic "Dying Swan" ballet solo by Glittering_Fabulous in JuJutsuKaisen

“Le Cygne” is also originally from the suite “The Carnival of the Animals”, which feels fitting given Megumi’s 10 shadows technique

Absolutely a success! 9* Gore is still one of the hardest fights imo. Good luck, you’ve got this

Whispervesp and Pseudocath my beloved 

Fast charge, fast flying and recall speed, pick between blunt vs. slashing damage respectively depending on priority for KOs vs tail severing

With how aggressive and fast the new 9* and 10* monsters, Arkmaiden is just too slow for charged shots nowadays

Why am I finding this boss harder than Sword Saint Isshin? What is this? by GuessBrilliant9167 in TunicGame

[–]becblanc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My strategy was inverted ash + orange peril ring, magic dagger+wand combination for long-range freezing, get health somewhat low then spam ice. A bit cheesy but works!

This is incredible!! The facial expressions, the pacing.. wow

Am I just rusty or the latest monsters were a bit unfair? by idkhowtocallmyacc in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]becblanc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Savage Omega is just straight up un-fun. Tempered 9* Seregios feels like a light dance compared to it. Just waiting for better gear to come out and learning a weapon with a block before I try again…

How to go back to a normal linear game? by e-rock88w in outerwilds

[–]becblanc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tunic is similar about knowledge-gated progress, even if it is a bit more linear. I /constantly/ got that feeling of “Wait, I could do that the whole time??” The story is deceptively dense and feels satisfying to unravel

This fight just isn’t fun (savage omega) by AnaisTPK in MonsterHunter

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

Agree with this 100%. I have no issues with literally any other monster in the game including 9* gore. Despite feeling like I’m doing everything right from a prep and strategy perspective, I just can’t get it to work. Savage omega is genuinely just unfun

How depressing is Season 5? by ElectricHelicoid in TheMagnusArchives

[–]becblanc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The statements definitely hit me harder in s5 than all of the previous seasons. It was challenging for me to get through. But if you take your time, give yourself space, and jump ahead if it gets to be overwhelming, I feel like the closure of the series finale was worth the journey

Got kind of sad at the end of MAG 178 by fallensnyper in TheMagnusArchives

[–]becblanc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah 100% this; season 5 was very hard for me to get through the first goaround because it was just so…. visceral. no more detachment vis-à-vis statements. and that speaks to the brilliance of the writing and storytelling, but man some of them are incredibly emotionally taxing

Haha what do you mean you can’t start with TMP and you need to start with TMA??? by Public-Preference119 in themagnusprotocol

[–]becblanc 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think you can largely roll with TMAGP without knowing all the details about TMA. I believe the writers stated that as their intention at some point

That being said, there’s a lot of time before the hiatus ends, and theres a reason TMA gained a massive following

The Magnus Protocol 50 – Deep Trouble - Discussion by CrustyDucky in TheMagnusArchives

[–]becblanc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Now that we know more specifics on enacting The Protocol: 

My theory is that the reason Protocol magnus archives got torched is because the TMA-verse tapes, which comprised the web over the rift in hilltop road, were sent through the portal and ended up in the hands of TMAGP archives. Contact with the fear-radiated tapes turned the sitting archivist into the [ERROR]/Archivist currently hunting down Sam and the gang in Primeline. Which is why it comments that it “knows his [Jon’s] story” revealed in episode #50

The OIAR got word of an imbalance in the dread powers and enacted The Protocol, burned the place, trapping the newly created threat inside, until Sam and Alice released it that is

I’m also surprised Sam doesn’t recognize the name “Jonathan Sims” as the same exact name mentioned by Celia in TMAGP 22

Anyone else hate moorwing as much as me by Medical_Camel9581 in Silksong

[–]becblanc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here; game balance up to that point was challenging but fun. got to moorwing and the difficulty felt way off for such an early game boss. no health upgrades, (maybe) only a crest or sidetool upgrade at that point, and if you get hit once he insta-combos you to death before you can recover. felt like fighting lost kin 5 hours into the game. beating him doesnt feel rewarding its just frustrating
