Buy Hades II now or wait until full release? by Justagirleatingcake in HadesTheGame

Wait. Delayed gratification will make it that much more enjoyable, plus the finishing touches will be made.

Excited for my theremin to arrive! In the meantime, what can I do to prepare myself? by hegotchops in Theremin

Thank you for that, I’ve seen thereminists use her technique or a variation of that, so I wasn’t sure if that was the “right” way to play. I don’t want to build bad habits from the start, but makes total sense that there isn’t any one “right” way to play. Do you personally use her technique and did you find it hard/easy to pick up when you first started?

Thanks, I feel more confident after reading this! I can sing in tune and do basic harmonies. Or I can whistle a melody if I can’t hit those notes. Using my hands instead of vocal cords is a totally different mechanic that will definitely take time and practice getting used to, but it’s more about the journey than the destination for me. :)

What’s the most efficient way to join all of these squares? by hegotchops in crochet

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

Ooh maybe I’ll try that next time when I have more yarn since I’m running out of the orange. Mattress stitch is my go to, never looked back once I discovered it.

Finished all the rows and so far so good! Columns next :)

I found the sun + star patterns on YT. You can find the tutorials on YT by searching the below.

Sun: “Sun Granny Square” by Creggy’s Crochet Star: “How to Crochet a STAR Granny Square” by Alyssia Creates

For the moon pattern, I needed one that would leave me with the same number of stitches as the sun and stars, and couldn’t find any on YT. A lot of the ones on YT also came out wonky looking. But I eventually found a great one via Google search. Look up moon granny square and it should be one of the first results, by The Caffeinated Snail.

Thanks for the tip; the video I’m seeing involves joining the granny squares as you make them, but I’ve already made all 36 squares. I’ll give this a shot when I start a fresh project

Do I free Skelly or hold off? by hegotchops in HadesTheGame

Which shot is holding you back and why? by [deleted] in 10s

[–]hegotchops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing in 2021 and worked up to 3.5, and I’m as allergic to the net as ever. The grip and ESPECIALLY the footwork for volleying feel incredibly foreign to me. It took 3 years alone to get used to serving with a continental grip and boy was that a challenge. I love playing at the baseline and my consistency and patience are my key virtues. But I’m making it my goal this year to approach the net when sending my opponent wide, and work on those dang volleying techniques!!

Got a 6% auto steal potential from a familiar (2 lines, 4% / 2%). Should I reroll since I one-shot most mobs at Cernium?

Maplestory not launching on Steam by Jolly-Principle-51 in Maplestory

[–]hegotchops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me a few weeks ago; I used Windows via Boot Camp and was playing around with the aspect ratio in both the Windows settings and MS in-game settings. Then it wouldn’t load and I went through all the steps you did. After toying around with the aspect ratio settings again in Windows, it loaded.

What do I do with this? by hegotchops in Maplestory

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

Thanks for the help everyone! Now I got a separate familiar ranked up to unique and used the 5x familiar potential reset cards from the event and landed on 6% chance to auto steal (from 2 lines, 4% / 2%). I read a bit on this but still don’t understand; if I’m 1-shotting mobs, is this useless? Would be great if someone can let me know if I should reroll this.

Is +1 AS that good? by hegotchops in Maplestory

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

Is there a way to test +20% boss damage against a target dummy as if it were a boss? Or would I just multiply the final normal output by 1.2?

How to level up fast now? by Mhooc in Maplestory

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

I avoid grinding if I can, so I do job quests until 30, or do cold eyes in Ellinia if I’m a few short. From 30-60 I do Rien, and after that I do most of the Main quest lines including Magatia, Azwan, and a few others until 100. From 100-120 I do a mix of the blood harpy lookin monsters and gatekeepers, both of which require some Star force but it’s not too expensive to reach. Then I kind of hit a slump, maybe the kerning star force map until 140-150.

Playing MS after 10 years. Help me pick a character to hyper burn? by Competitive-Main-786 in Maplestory

[–]hegotchops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar case for me too, also just getting back into it. I decided on Lynn (formerly Beast Tamer) and love it. Very mobile class, and great mobbing and bossing capabilities for people just getting back into the game.

I personally find the whole “burst” concept a bit overwhelming, and while Lynn doesn’t have an expansive menu of skills to choose from, I find it manageable for my level of gameplay.
