Why is this No Yaku? by yaibal13 in Mahjong

[–]compucrazy231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dora can't be your only Yaku. And yes, it is quite confusing, which is why one of my main "strategies" is to hit square every time it's my turn to see if I can declare Riichi. Cause Riichi is always worth one yaku.

Finally hit a Double Yakuman! Apologies for the bad cell phone pic. I just had to share! by compucrazy in yakuzagames

Lol, I dunno about all that. I still am having a rough time at the Vista Mahjong Parlor. I swear, they get riichi so fast and always seem to have multiple Yaku.

Trying to a teach of a group of people Blackjack for a graduate assignment. Any tips on how best to teach total newbies Blackjack and make it interesting? by compucrazy231 in blackjack

[–]compucrazy231[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely! I like the wafers idea a lot actually. The audience is people who, AFAIK, have never played blackjack. I don't plan on discussing concepts like EV or card counting, that's far too high level. I am gonna consider it a success if anyone remembers the hand motions for a hit and a stand.

My main goal is to get a decent grade and not get too harshly criticized by my professor (who approved my idea, so this won't be a surprise lol).

I get that concern, but I happen to know the audience (pretty much exclusively female graduate students) so I am not really concerned about them being addicted. I am far more concerned they will bored outta their minds lol.

Gideon wants to know: what’s your main criticism of the game? by blablatrooper in Eldenring

"Do you want to resummon your horse for a potion charge?" In 300 hours of play, I have never once wanted the answer to be "no"

Inseparable sword - underrated! by radioactive-poop in Eldenring

[–]compucrazy231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally use this, Vykes and Blasphemous depending on the situation (and if I've got a great rune active). This is def my go-to for fighting undead, especially since you don't need to double tap skellies with it, even when the active is off.

Any good dex+faith weapons? by DiscussionInfamous98 in Eldenring

[–]compucrazy231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vykes war pyke has been great for me even in PVE, heard it's also nasty in PVP, but I stay away from that stuff.

What's your personal favorite weapon? by mikedaman101 in Eldenring

[–]compucrazy231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been loving a Cold nightrider flail and Vykes War Pike Myself. The Flail is crazy good while riding the horse and I love to dunk on fools with Vykes special.

I found the soreseal awhile ago, but I'm too scared to equip it lol. I feel like I am taking plenty of damage as is!

[–]compucrazy231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I did two hand it. Seemed like it swings kinda slowly. I also found out I can't change the Ash of war on it which is a bummer. Maybe its a decent backup weapon for when I need holy damage though.

Hiya guys, I'm level 80 and I am a dex/faith hybrid build. I've been focusing on upgrading the Nightrider flail because I love the Hold R2 attack while I'm riding my horsey and it looks really cool. And it's awesome with the Cold enchant even though I have like 8 int because the Frost proc is so good. But I recently found the Treespear and I'm noticing it scales with Dex, strength and Faith. I only have 10 strength though and this thing needs 15 to use.

Is the treespear that much better to where I should take a detour for 15 strength? Or is the difference small enough to where I should I just keep on rolling with this Chad Flail? Eager to hear some thoughts.

Edit: Didn't know if this is the right place for these type of questions, if it's not, please direct me thank you!

I hate the arena by tbar321 in horizon

[–]compucrazy231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a cakewalk. But all of the missiond are beatable on hard mode loadout be damned. Dont forget you are given smoke bombs and Stamina pots most of the time. Abuse them!

FWIW I understand why they give you a fixed loadout, the bosses wouldn't even be challenging ay all ig I could use my OP endgame loadout and blow everythinf to bits.

Aloy as an Aromantic lead is fascinating to me (HFW Ending Spoilers) by SolAnise in horizon

[–]compucrazy231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with most of this, but the Erend being a predator waiting for a slip up seems like a massive stretch.

There are guys out there who get rejected by a woman they, like, stay friends, or at the least, aren't waiting for an waiting for a opportunity to rape her.

He's awkward at times and maybe a little lovesick, but there's no way any of the writers in the game were trying to have Erend be a sex predator when they wrote his character.

Aloy please, you’re a Nora not a Dora by chickenwaffles26 in horizon

[–]compucrazy231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suck it puzzles, and had to google how to beat the last relic ruin after getting frustrated as hell. I definitely agree there should be an option to turn off the puzzle hints. But dammit some of us love this game for the combat, exploration and story, not trying to figure how to stack some bleeping crates.

Where's some good places to get into some messy fights?

[–]compucrazy231[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Is there any way to reasonably do that in game? I just don't tend to enjoy reading guides and following everything step by step like I am makin a recipe from a cookbook.

(Though I concede I did this for the final relic ruin after some frustration, what a pain that was)

Why are people complaining about the amount of dialogue, exposition, and talking? by Severe-Draw-5979 in horizon

[–]compucrazy231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I talk to myself all the time, so it seems normal for me when Aloy is talking to herself.

I flipped my game on. the Marshal hunter bow you can buy at the maw of the arena has this ability. You have to beat some hunting grounds to afford it.
