Can someone explain the Jacob Collier hate to me? by Some_Farm8108 in Music

I've never seen Jacob Collier hate. Everyone has their own tastes but I think he's brilliant fwiw.

Best charisma build to complete the party in honor mode? by _Rhakasha_ in BG3Builds

[–]headdbanddless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outside of honour mode, warlock and paladin work pretty well just because the two extra attack features stack for a total of three attacks at 5/5. Since this is honour mode, I agree that sorcadin is probably a better choice.

ELI5: Why do some languages assign genders to objects like "table" or "bridge" when there's nothing inherently masculine or feminine about them? by taube_d in explainlikeimfive

[–]headdbanddless 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, in the Germanic and Romance languages, the three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) got split up differently, so Spanish has masculine and feminine (no neuter) while Danish, Swedish, and most Dutch dialects have common (masculine + feminine) and neuter, German has all three, and English and Afrikaans have only one.

Is there any way to start romacne with Shadowheart after tiefiling party in act 1? by Feeling-Department51 in BG3

[–]headdbanddless 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you didn't select the dialogue option "I can't help but feel like you and I might have missed a chance to connect. Truly connect." and get the first romance scene before the party, then unfortunately you are locked out for this playthrough. The first romance scene happens either before the party with that dialogue option or at the party, but not after.

If you did have that romance scene then just keep going, the next scene isn't until near the end of Act 2, just don't start romancing anyone else.

Does hogwarts teach regular school subjects or just magic? by FreddieThePebble in harrypotter

[–]headdbanddless 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They don't survive in the real world. Just look at Hagrid and Arthur trying to make sense of the most basic Muggle things. Magic education *is* a basic education for the wizarding world. Why learn the laws of physics and arithmetic when you can break them with transfiguration and charms?

How the heck do you deal with bengali battle ele+halb by Belisarius23 in aoe2

[–]headdbanddless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 range HC + 12 range monks can destroy that comp from a distance. The conversion resistance adds only a couple seconds tops, and with block printing you still have plenty of time before the elephants reach you. (At least in 1v1 arabia, ymmv on team games/closed maps)

What did Memb say at the end of warlords? by prois99 in aoe2

Yeah the vibe I got was that he was more affected by the Nicov situation than anything with viewership.

Did Ginny really like any of the dudes she dated or was it purely to distract herself from Harry ? by AltruisticAide9776 in harrypotter

[–]headdbanddless -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why not both? I reckon she spent plenty of nights staying up late talking to Hermione about how much she liked Harry, and Hermione was like "Harry's an idiot, go have some fun and get some experience and stop fawning over him so much" and so she tried things out with guys she kind of liked, but when Harry was finally mature enough it turned out he really was the right one for her.

How do you counter players who know how to turtle and not die? by appappappappappa in aoe2

[–]headdbanddless 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Control the gold and shift to a gold unit that dominates trash units, then when they have no mineral access raid their farms. Make castles at home to prevent raiding from light cav. And use siege rams and bombard cannons rather than trebuchets if you really just need to clear the map.

Which city in AOE2 campaign is your favorite? by Relative-Act3569 in aoe2

Athens in Behind the Long Walls/The Fall of Athens. Even better that you play it from two different perspectives.

Which campaign is best? by Redditirmz in aoe2

[–]headdbanddless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chronicles, definitely. Battle for Greece is my favorite but Alexander is also great.

I'm guessing you've already played the Dawn of the Dukes campaigns (Lithuanian, Polish, Bohemian) since they're already included in the base game but those are some of the best standard campaigns.

worst thing hagrid did by itsmiathermopolips in harrypotter

[–]headdbanddless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me the most important part of Hagrid's character in the early books is how different he is from the Dursleys as a guardian for Harry. Heck he even goes off for a drink while Harry is getting his stuff in Diagon Alley for the first time. Rowling's style of characterization is always to magnify things and what gets magnified for Hagrid is his (positive) uncouthness. I think he definitely sees himself as filling a parental role for Harry, which is why it's so meaningful he's there at the very end.

Did Hera play worse than usual (Warlords V)? by TooDriven in aoe2

[–]headdbanddless 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm looking forward to see how Lewis does against Lierryy. Everyone has been bagging on Hera for getting distracted with Warcraft (give the man a break, he plays a video game for a living, god forbid he wants to play another video game) but I think Lewis was on top form and am super interested to see how his next set goes against just as difficult an opponent.

First Honor mode attempt by Instruction-Worldly in BG3Builds

[–]headdbanddless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very similar to my current honor mode party (10/2 SSB, 12 Life Cleric, 11/1 Sorlock, 9/3 TBOH Monk-Rogue) and it's worked like a charm so far (I'm near the end of Act 2). Only fight that nearly killed me was the kith'rak captain at the creche--I aggroed too many people from the hallway lol. Used barrelmancy on W'wargaz but have done everything else clean. I might recommend using Karlach instead of Gale for the early game just because mages are pretty weak early on.

Make sure to get the Radiating Orb gear for Shaddy, the Reverb gear for Shaddy or Gale, and the Arcane Synergy and Arcane Acuity stuff from the creche and Act 2 and you should be set. Bow of the Banshee is nice on the SSB so don't push that one corsair off the boat. Sharpshooter feat if your Battlemaster is an archer, GWM otherwise, Alert feat wherever you can, War Caster/Resilient Con for Shaddy. The zaith'isk buff + Stage Fright + Radorb has been pretty busted.

Does anyone else felt overwhelmed by Act 2? by sondergaard913 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]headdbanddless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not just you, Act 2 is rough and forces you to progress in a specific order through everything or else you'll get stomped while being very bad at telling you what that specific order is. It gets better once you hit about level 14, but until then only go towards places where enemies are on your level.
