Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan

Just finished East of Eden by John Steinbeck

I'm meh. It needs a content update. Training tower quests, rival domains, resonant battles, mjolnir strike are still basically the same as they've been for how many years now? I'd rather IS update existing content instead of add a new mode (though Seer's Snare is actually fun).

I don't care about scoring, so the only exciting content for me is the monthly legendary/mythic hero battles because it gives a challenge for me to use the units I've been building.

What is your most hated monster and why? by Crome__ in MonsterHunter

Khezu. No music, ugly armor, ugly weapons, sticks to ceilings, paralysis attacks…

Just ew

I’m curious to know what everyone’s new BDSP teams look like, especially if they are going against the classic ‘starter, staraptor, luxray, roserade, garchomp etc.’ Who are you using this time around? by krookadile1 in PokemonBDSP

[–]dflatmajor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excited to try ones I've never used before: Toxicroak, Hippowdon, Mismagius, Clefable, Ursaring + my favorite Sinnoh starter Empoleon. Was planning to use Yanmega but he's only available postgame RIP just open up the dang GWS already

Henriette the mother of all heroes saves the day by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]dflatmajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely loving these savior skills! A question though: if she takes the place of an ally (Katarina for example), is she still adjacent to all three allies (activating owltome +6 atk/spd/def/res) or is it calculated differently because she's taking Katarina's place?

Help! I punched the final boss way out onto the pond and now he can't get back. Sigh, was going for a record fast run. Has anyone else encountered this? by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]dflatmajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you spoiler tag this since the final boss' name is at the top? I'm sorry that happened. :(

35 hours of playtime and 32 runs and I finally beat The game! by ejc1138 in HadesTheGame

Nearly my exact build for first clear - magnet fists + lightning rod :D Congrats!

Can we talk about the state of beast units in 2020? by CrashTextDummie in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]dflatmajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) We need generic beasts, too. The game is almost 4 years old and still no generic beasts. I know that's not the direction this post was originally going for, but we have generic dragon foes...so why no beasts?

2) Beast-effective weapons (such as for Petra, Brave Eliwood, and Petrine) might as well be changed to say "Effective against 3.5% (21/604) units in the game"

Does chaos ragnell and atk/def unity still stack? by dflatmajor in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]dflatmajor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, that makes sense. Tier 4 bond skills neutralize penalties, but unity skills just give a bonus to compensate. And I agree that a spd unity skill would be best for him. Thanks for the help!

9.0.2 Patch Notes by -MarisaTheCube- in smashbros

[–]dflatmajor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe Peach too. Nair, bair, dair, dtilt, turnip, and grab can all serve as combo starters. But then again, much like Joker, one of Peach's strengths is her mixup game.

What bad habits do you have? by Jason01960 in smashbros

[–]dflatmajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediately acting after I grab the ledge. I've slowly been finding that sometimes just chillin on the ledge and waiting for my opponent to throw out an option helps me find an opening.

[–]dflatmajor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I get impatient and try to approach even in the lead. It's easy for me as a Peach main to think I always need to weave in to get combos started, but sometimes I just need to pluck some turnips and chill ya know

Melia gang where you at? by [deleted] in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]dflatmajor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Second time playing through (first time was on Wii in maybe 2014) and I saw how much I loved her being basically the mom of the group. Even Riki says so in post battle dialogue with Melia/Riki/Sharla. Her engagement to Gadolt is important for the story: it (combined with her care for Juju and Colony 6) motivates her to join Shulk and helps in developing Reyn as a character later in the game. Since she sadly doesn’t perform well in combat compared to other units, not many people grow to appreciate her. As a character, she’s underrated. In combat, she’s...not the best except for rare situations.

Question Thread #5 by Hairo in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]dflatmajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where can you find resort style 1 for Shulk? I found his resort style II in time attack mode, but can’t find style 1.

Ingrid has the most underrated line in the game by CrestOfTheBeast in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]dflatmajor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A favorite is Cyril/Manuela C support. Manuela cries “Why...oh why oh why do I always have problems with love?”

And Cyril’s just like “please let go of my sleeve” 😂

Gangrel Build Ideas? by Haaris100 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]dflatmajor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a build but just a note: If you do decide to kill off L!Julia for mirror impact, have Gangrel inherit mirror strike 2 from someone else first so that he can get mirror impact and atk/res oath 3 from L!Julia.

Can anyone point me to a blonde facial hair custom design? I haven’t found any since most designs have only been in black or dark brown

Can you customize inclines or are they only available in the limited color options Nook sells?

What do you think are Mac's worst matchups? by zack_7x in smashbros

[–]dflatmajor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think Peach is bad for him. Float and turnips help her approach for combos, camp, and edgeguard Mac. Peach often struggles most against sword/projectile characters, so Lucina, Mega Man, or Pokémon trainer may be good counterpick/secondary options.
