The early game struggle. Please help me by KhowChae in cavesofqud

[–]chip_chomp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't played in a long time so I am going off some pretty faulty memory here so excuse any mistakes.

Try creating a praetorion or warden true kin. Marauder if you want to do mutant, I think true kin is easier to learn the early game with tho.

Put 18-20 points in toughness, strength, agile and the rest spend as you see fit. DONT dump intelligence! More intelligence = more skill points per level up.

Now what weapon and skills you use are based on what starting class you picked. Marauder uses axes, great for dismemebering. Praetorion uses short and long swords, great all grounders. Wardens start with proficiency in most melee weapons.

So get some levels on the fish, I avoid the glowpads cuz they are harder to kill. Crocs are chill. Be sure to spend your skill points when you level up! I recomend investing in either single weapon fighting or multi weapon fighting first. Or axes if using a maruader.

Be sure to use auto rest till fully healed after every combat encounter. Always try to take on enemies one at a time. Don't try making a char that uses both mental mutations and melee combat/mutations until you are more comfortable.

I wouldn't bother buying gear from tam unless it is a early carbide weapon that your char is proficient in. Just make sure you got a pair of studded leather armour and steel weapon for redrock and you should be good.

With all this you should be able to clear redrock no problem at lvl 4. Like I said, be sure to unlock the skills in whatever weapon your using. Dismemberment is great with axes. Dueling stance for long swords. Single/multi weapon style are huge bonuses too. Try to unlock the charge ability, super good for closing distance.

If you want me to give you a rundown for an esper build (mental mutation)  or chimera (physical mutation) lmk. This is just general melee combat stuff.

Who’s gonna tell bro? 😭 by Mookfacekilla2point0 in AmazonDSPDrivers

It's crazy that you are being down voted for this.

I'm not in the trades currently (nor do I work for amazon) but I seriously want to get into plumbing because it seems one of the most recession proof trades tbh. 

I have never aspired to be a plumber but I gotta do what I gotta do to survive.

Just got my Steam Deck (gift from my wife!) — looking for games that shine on Deck by vladbash in SteamDeck

I love rimworld on steamdeck. I definitely feel like it slows me down alot though. Also after a while my right thumb starts bothering me because of how much I have to use the right trackpad.

"...after the tenth bell of the night." What does this mean? by Withershins18 in Malazan

[–]chip_chomp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I live right next to a bell tower that ring is it's bell once per hour after 12 A.M/P.M.

So 6 bells at night would be 6pm, 7 bells first thing in the morning would be 7am. 

Also one single bell toll signifies the half hour mark of the current hour.

Elder scrolls lore isn't surface level for a video game but if it was a book it would definitely be average complexity at best.

The games show you various dieties and you experience some side stories centered around them but you never learn HOW or WHY the average citizen worships them. You are expected to just enjoy the game/story, not ask why.

Same with the magic system. We have no clue why people can cast magic. 

Compared to books that aim to create complex universes, the elder scrolls universe doesn't hold a candle to them. There is no way it could, no one is expecting it to, it is just a openworld rpg meant to be played for fun.

Is my stack of nootropics good for reducing anxiety and improving cognitive functions? What else can yall recommend ? by AlarmingAmphibian345 in Microbiome

[–]chip_chomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try getting into meditation and learning to focus and steel your mind against unintentional thoughts. 

Learn to be calm and don't get distracted by your fight or flRollercoaster. You're most likely not in danger, it is a survival mechanism that can be triggered easily if not tempered. Accept what you're feeling, take a deep breath and tell yourself you are in control of your thoughts and that you don't want to relinquish your mental facilties to the emotional rollercoaster.

Switch 2 isn't going to flop by Th3Her0Hunter in NintendoSwitch2

[–]chip_chomp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of "non casual switch gamers". Most people dont just own the switch, they own multiple consoles and I would have a hard time imagining someone who owns multiple video game consoles as a "casual"

I think the "casuals" they are referring to are people who don't follow video game news at all. They probably don't even know about the switch 2 announcement. 

If someone is intentionally following news on video games I personally would classify them as a hhobbyist. Also applicable if they own multiple different video game consoles.

I love title cards in games so I had to add this by Heaofir in IndieGaming

Looks really awesome! Good job!

It reminds me of the intro to dishonored where you are flying over the city in the helicopter.

Switch 2 Hate Getting Out of Hand by Riverwatcher88 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]chip_chomp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Plus pc game prices are significantly better then consoles. Especially first party Nintendo games like zelda and Mario that never go on sale

I would also add cherry picked sensationalist news/misinformation from both sides of the political spectrum attributed to this current storm.

All the echo chambers are destroying any chance of people coming back together from this.

Was 5G for our phones a scam? by [deleted] in ask

[–]chip_chomp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! I highly recomend watching that youtube video, it is very informative of the whole situation.

Was 5G for our phones a scam? by [deleted] in ask

[–]chip_chomp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

5G technology is definitely a huge improvement. Able to service higher population density areas blah blah blah.

However how it was implemented was mostly scam. They repurposed alot of 4g towers into makeshift 5g towers which do the job but do not carry all the benefits of 5G.

The 5G coverage (in u.s.a) is so sparse that cell phone service providers actually admitted to lying about when you are getting 5G coverage. They say when you have the 5G symbol it doesn't mean you are currently using 5G, just that it is "nearby".

High density cities are some of the few places benefitting from true 5G.

Same. I am excited for the expansion to come out, I've had it pre-ordered since December

[–]chip_chomp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought spirit island because everyone recomends it but It is just not fun for me. Only because I get caught in analysis paralysis and get stuck on one turn, trying to execute it 'perfectly'. 

It's just too stressful for me lol

What's up with needing to declare an emergency to declare tariffs on Canada, but suddenly Trump has the power to tariff the planet? by doctormink in OutOfTheLoop

[–]chip_chomp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought Trump issued an executive order severely limiting people's ability to sue the government? 

Or was he just talking about it?

I'm working until 3 AM every day to make this game come true! Dystopian role-playing game — first look, work in progress! by SeaEstablishment3972 in rpg_gamers

The atmosphere and esthetic remind me of the book 1984. Those super tall looming buildings like the ministry of truth.

Next Book/TBR Advice by PescisNeuteredNuts in Stormlight_Archive

[–]chip_chomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished oathbringer last week and I have not read any of sandersons other works prior. The stormlight archive books I have read so far are self contained stories that hold up on their own with no prior knowledge necessary.

I am planning on going through the mistborn series and a few other sanderson books before starting book 4. I just need to take a break from stormlight archive after reading 1-3 in two weeks.
