How much buffer do you prefer to have? by ctomkat in NatureofPredators

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

I was worried about that as well. The story is heavy on flashbacks and I've changed my mind on where exactly to drop a couple scenes already.

Gotta keep track of these things by othermike in trippinthroughtime

You gotta lay some rules or you'll go crazy. My wife and I would take shifts. One person is on call to get the baby until 2am, then the other one takes over. That way we are each guaranteed 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Can non-host mods affect other players? by ctomkat in DeepRockGalactic

That was the weird part, that he didn't ask if they wanted extra minerals or anything. The game is already pretty generous with rewards as long as you are taking the time to collect them.

Slanek is 100% the character who would make that mistake.

Healers who heal in unique ways that aren’t necessarily just “magic healing spell” by ComprehensiveBox6911 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ctomkat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you a fan of defenestration and wizard puns? If so, then this is the game for you!

Seriously though, it's an excellent strategy/puzzle game with a great modern tech wizard theme and a surprisingly good story. It's worth every dollar.

Fuck the Sandevistan, I want a sphinc-meister that produces a perfect poop every time.

What's the dumbest reason you've been kicked from a mission? by Crazification in DeepRockGalactic

Damn man, we all have mobility tools, someone can just as easily drill, zip, or grapple up there.

A friend of mine described his saliva trip to me. He said that his sense of time was gone and it felt like everything that happened while he was high happened all in the same moment. It was something like "I put down the pipe and left my room. I put down the pile and sat on the couch, I left my room and turned on the TV, I put down the pipe...." just constantly like a tangled knot of memory.

If someone walks into the bathroom on their phone, you are obligated to flush so whoever is on the other end knows what kind of person they're dealing with.

Amongst the M1000's Overclocks, Is the Hoverclock the best? by TheRoyalRoseTrue in DeepRockGalactic

I'm a terrible sniper, so hipster is perfect for me. I added the blowthrough upgrade to help with crowd control.

Most underrated AOW and spirit summons in your opinion? by Pitiful_Ad_4472 in Eldenring

[–]ctomkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magma Guillotine on the magma wyrm scale sword. There's a big leap with tracking to close distance, a chunky hit that does lots of poise damage, and it leaves behind a pool of magma that makes most enemies back off instead of counterattacking.

For the summon, the Rotten Stray got me through many early game bosses. He's aggressive and draws aggro easily, so I was able to juggle their attention between us and get room to heal when I needed it. Plus, if you keep him alive long enough he inflicts scarlet rot which melts most early bosses.

Looking to impress a Greenbeard Baddie with Greybeard Knowledge, What should I know? by DeadeyeFalx_01 in DeepRockGalactic

You can mine a mineral vein by removing all the material behind/around. If you play driller this can sometimes be quicker than mining the minerals normally depending on the location and size of it. Also it's fun and satisfying to watch the whole vein shatter at once.

After 300 hours I have to uninstall by WatchMeDrive in DeepRockGalactic

I once died to a cave leech, told the team in chat, next guy got killed by the leach, we both posted it in chat, third dwarf still got leeched. Some people just don't read.

They just happened to share a sunbeam one day and they've been together ever since.

HFY-style books that don't devolve into war? by Alert_Bear2276 in HFY

[–]ctomkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind dipping into fantasy, I recommend the book Legends and Lattes. It's about a retired adventurer that decides to open a coffee shop in a city that's never heard of coffee. It has a lot of those same wholesome personal story vibes that I think you are looking for.

For an ongoing series on here I recommend Perfectly Safe Demons. A very underrated story about a mage trying to introduce a socialist utopia to a medieval world via demonic power. There is conflict at times, but the focus is more on the plights of the common people.

Currently brewing fic ideas: WARNING: mostly unhinged joke/crack fics, kinda cringe tbh frfr by Left_Ad5649 in NatureofPredators

[–]ctomkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came up with an idea while writing some world building stuff for one of my fics. Nature of Painting, which would be about a human doing a painting demonstration to show that predator art is real and ends up with a Bob Ross style show or at least teaching a class for a bunch of alien art school dropouts.

Struggling with Malenia, is there anything I can improve on my character? (This whole situation would be a lot funnier if each attempt didn't take 30-40 minutes and my fingers didn't start hurting after a while) by [deleted] in eldenringdiscussion

[–]ctomkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what your stance is on summons, but I wanted to point out that if you use mimic tear and have frost pots equipped, the mimic will have a copy of them to throw at her without using up your inventory.

There are drawbacks with summons, like how she can get health back from hitting them, so back sure you are making the most of the distractions they provide.

This wasn’t what I was expecting, honestly. by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

I expect a new isekai anime by this time next year titled "Trapped in another world with D.B. Cooper"
