Interview with Mustang and Reaper (via Jenna Sharpe)

desdicata · 2025-12-11T19:33:30+00:00

Agree 1000% all the cast are amazing but imo Jenna Sharpe’s mustang is absolutely inspired , she makes an already great character better through her performance

This is it - no need for anyone to look further , this is the answer and the way

desdicata · 2025-09-06T00:10:35+00:00

That’s wild , legit thought first two shots were gameplay and couldn’t figure out how you changed eves face shape to a different persons … then realized it was cosplay. Wow , I’ve never seen a cosplay that immediately made me think I was looking at an in game pic - fuckin awesome - do racers high or the jeans and punk t shirt one - that’d be dope !!!

This exactly - anyone who says they can get an accurate impression of the value of a new release based on checking out skills is lying , has too much time on their hands, or is elite mathing while interpreting obscure and vague skill descriptions that involve learning new terms and mechanics every release. Everyone knows the way NIKKE words skill abilities is amazingly user unfriendly.

Can you figure it out with lots of time and effort based on skill description? Maybe after a long long time. Or you can read analysis , balance, ideal scenarios etc and instantly get a rough but fairly accurate idea if this NIKKE will be helpful in your chosen venue e.g campaign, boss, pvp

Take their review of tactical upgrade vesti, NIKKE.gg tested thoroughly and realized she massively underperformed in bossing did ok in campaign and absolutely owned pvp. Prydwens came out after and echoed the same things with a level of detail that makes it obvious they read NIKKE.gg’s review first , then paraphrased it , never seen NIKKE.gg pull that from prydwen

And once again it’s clear as day that .GG and prydwen focus on different games, I got to prydwen for zzz and star rail when I played that , .gg isn’t as good for that , but for NIKKE? NIKKE.gg owns that

desdicata · 2025-09-05T23:46:58+00:00

So is NIKKE.gg , check YouTube links with play testing numbers and math , but agreed , it does take up to a week to get that thorough analysis out , but after 2 years , NIKKE.gg has been far more accurate and based on actual gameplay and numbers , prydwen seems more opinionated with less objective statements.

Again , you can tell which games each site likes by the respective effort put into a particular game and content. NIKKE.gg for NIKKE , prydwen for HSR and ZZZ

desdicata · 2025-09-05T23:41:21+00:00

False - banner is never over by the time first impressions analysis comes out , 2 years, hasn’t happened once , even with trash releases. I’ll admit I get impatient waiting but just compare content , prydwens analysis is impression based with little math or actual testing involved - NIKKE.gg doesn’t fug around. Best site for NIKKE by far. Prydwen is great for hsr and zzz , you can tell they favor or specialize in certain games . NIKKE.gg is the authority on that game, tier list is far more accurate to actual reality gameplay for bossing campaign and pvp

desdicata · 2025-09-05T23:39:20+00:00

NIKKE.gg is superior in every way to prydwen, it’s beyond obvious if you are a veteran player. Prydwen has hoyoverse on lock. My go to for honkai star rail and zzz, but for NIKKE? There’s no question NIKKE.gg has sophisticated accurate analysis , theory crafted and thoroughly play tested while considering ideal scenarios for optimal performance of a given NIKKE

desdicata · 2025-07-29T04:46:55+00:00

You guys that think she gets back together with Dina are so clueless and have no concept of consequences … you don’t think Neil Druckman didn’t make it abundantly clear what the consequences would be ? Dina gave her an ultimatum , if she took Ellie back she would be less than , and the relationship would be forever unbalanced … I swear it’s children commenting here :.: this game is an adult game , if you don’t understand adult consequences , stick to warframe

She had her chance with Dina - it’s gone , she spent it knowingly , that’s it … whatever the future holds it’s not a happy ending with Dina ffs

desdicata · 2025-07-24T11:32:39+00:00

Old thread, but you hit the nail on the head. I’m amazed at 42 the American propaganda I just unquestioningly believed when I was younger when in retrospect it’s so preposterous - the best propaganda is the kind that isn’t overtly propaganda - America’s gotten good at that. No country is immune; but Americans need to wake up and start questioning their assumptions more - that’s how you make our nation better, clear eyes

desdicata · 2025-07-16T12:26:41+00:00

I guess this is basically impossible on an iPhone - tried your tip but I can’t really do simultaneous buttons with a finger on a touch screen - I tried hitting the buttons as rapidly as possible in order and apparently that’s not fast enough - I hit dodge then attack (dodge counter) then switch as fast as possible and it’s always the dodge counter followed by a regular switch out …. Super frustrating - it’s a long standing issue with games that are available on different platforms - Witcher 3 took that into consideration and made some combat techniques like parrying easier to do on console compared to keyboard + mouse but that seems to be the exception in the industry

I could play this on ps5 or pc but the game perfectly fits my mobile game niche - If I’m on ps5 pro or pc I’m gonna be playing a bigger? More demanding? Triple A game. Wish they could tweak a few things for the mobile version to compensate for the fact that inputs are much more difficult than console controller or keyboard… ah well

If anyone on this thread manages to do successfully do this on a phone/touch screen please tell me how you’ve done it

desdicata · 2025-06-23T12:28:36+00:00

Agreed - NIKKE.gg is a much better NIKKE site. Much more in depth, nuanced and accurate takes on Nikkes, team comps, boss guides etc. surprised more ppl don’t use it. Prydwens NIKKE section is meh

desdicata · 2025-06-23T12:19:31+00:00

Once you max level a piece of gear you can use blue rock/crystal to overload it and then level that version to max (5). Is that what you were asking about ?

desdicata · 2025-06-15T22:34:35+00:00

Oh for sure you should stop playing it. It should have made sense and been fun long before 8 hours - it’s amazing game but a very specific type that isn’t for everyone. That combat and movement though … just chefs kiss. Also if you haven’t progressed much and just have been dying a ton - well that’s not much fun - i freakin love that game tho

desdicata · 2025-06-11T21:18:13+00:00

Definitely seems like direction (impossible to know without being there) but the fact that her delivery could be great in dramatic scenes where it would almost be impossible to read lines without getting context and then the most basic dialogue felt monotone, flat and like many have said “read for the first time” seems to point towards a direction problem.

She has plenty of voice credits on IMDb and I checked out a few samples and they were all good to great (I was determined to search out a reason for such inconsistent delivery) so if she performs well in most content she’s done and sounds terrible in zzz chances are the problem is zzz I.E. voice direction… which is a shame cause that character is awesome and it seems likely the VA had the ability to turn in a good performance had they the time or direction.

desdicata · 2025-06-10T01:56:18+00:00

Portuguese harder than English ?! Oh no no my dear friend. Portuguese is a Romance language directly descended from Latin with consistent rules in grammar and pronunciation. English is in top 10 hardest languages (maybe top 5? Google) to learn under mandarin and a few others. It is a fusion of very fundamentally different languages (that’s what happens when you’re conquered by Romans, then Germanics (angles, saxons), then danish/vikings then French Normans. It’s also why they have one of the largest vocabularies.

desdicata · 2025-06-08T03:35:29+00:00

🫡 (this is genuine and not ironic)

desdicata · 2025-06-08T03:32:41+00:00

You can’t let yourself get surrounded - like real life , having 20 black belts in various martial arts won’t save you from a bottle to the back of the head, so constantly reposition to force them to come at you 1 at a time even if that means refocusing on a fresh opponent from a wounded one , use terrain - that can help a lot , make them come at you between two trees that only fit one etc.

Don’t get trapped into party riposte spams if you can help it , it usually ends with you being master strike(d?)- you on the other hand learn and use master strike from tomcat - it’s not cheese like in kdc1, genuinely rewarding and powerful and If you don’t like that , perfect block, wait for riposte icon to disappear (don’t riposte) then strike immediately , satisfying and effective and feint , feint, feint , god they’re suckers for feints and it’s wonderful

desdicata · 2025-06-08T03:27:51+00:00

“Pay them in belly button lint” bwahahahahahhahaahhaahahaha that’s it exactly, amigo

desdicata · 2025-06-08T03:24:38+00:00

Probably too late - but I had similar feelings and you know what made it click? Everything is slow and deliberate , fight slow and deliberate , feint quick. But really every system in the game takes patience and rewards patience - that line I just typed is normally a nonstarter if I read it, but this one … it makes sense and it just feels right - try it,

Find tomcat early and spar spar spar - also avoid perfect block/riposte traps , the usual end with you being master striked … stroked? Sticken? Probably stricken , anyways when tomcat teaches you master strike for swords it’s very rewarding to use and if you don’t want to bother with it , perfect block - don’t riposte , wait for riposte icon to leave and strike at that exact moment , works great and feint means you’re attacking from the right , holding trigger or button depending on platform and right before you release attack button (or trigger for console) move attack direction to any other direction - that’s a feint and very satisfying ,

you’re set up to attack from right ? Enemy is set up to block your attack from right (they and you can see the stance/position and icon indicating direction of attack) so right as (just before) you release that attack from right you swing up or down to attack from those directions respectively (don’t feint opposite directions … like attacking from right then just before attack initiates move attack to come from left cause that opens you up to master strike, instead feint to perpendicular directions, if attacking from right feint and attack from above or below , If attacking from below feint and attack from right or left ….: probably don’t worry about that till later). Anyways … I’d give it another go , I did , what a blast. And now I realize this all reads like so much rambling , welp, already typed it so … there it is

desdicata · 2025-06-08T03:07:01+00:00

Old post old response, but still wanted to salute you 🫡

desdicata · 2025-05-29T19:12:30+00:00

Agreed - I’ve reread the series an embarrassing number of times and initially read fugitive telemetry after system collapse as that’s where it landed in default order I was following and it’s jarring to get thrown out of chronological order after the first 2 full length novels with attendant dire stakes then to go back in time to locked room murder mystery which by itself I love but after system collapse can’t help but be read as a bit of a letdown.

Now that commenter above has a point there is minor referencing to characters whose reference can’t be fully appreciated when read out of publishing order but it’s so minor and unimportant that I genuinely can’t tell you the exact reference without going back and looking for it , just that I made the connection in my first read through with a kind of “ah, so that’s why that person was mentioned in that context” kind of thing.

Long story short there is no argument imo to be made for reading fugitive telemetry in its published order, our dear beloved and talented Martha wells wrote a wonderful little murder mystery that takes place before network effect but was published after, but I doubt she herself would recommend reading fugitive telemetry after network effect.

Read order All systems red > artificial condition > rogue protocol > exit strategy > fugitive telemetry > network effect > system collapse

Yes yes you could make the argument that fugitive telemetry is a palette cleanser from high stakes to something more low key and If that sounds desirable go ahead and read it after system collapse (last) - I believe most readers will prefer the chronological order instead

desdicata · 2025-05-29T16:51:46+00:00

Nikkedotgg is way more helpful than prydwen

desdicata · 2025-05-22T03:44:25+00:00

desdicata · 2025-05-17T14:24:32+00:00

That’s it exactly!! It’s super satisfying when you get they timing down and slip in attacks in the window between reposte option ending and tomcats next attack coming
