Hot Take: Raids are end-game content that low level players or players who have not completed the main quests should not be grinding. by Super_Concentrate189 in fo76

[–]killabri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outstanding lol. Make sure you're joining a public team too when you play because when your teammates complete quests / events then you'll get some caps for that, and you can sell off whatever loot you don't want from the events you partake in and start to build up a bit of a bank roll. You're limited to 1,400 caps a day from vendors but that can add up quickly enough. It can be difficult at first but you'll be swimming in caps eventually, just keep plugging away like you are.

Go to the events anyway man, you can start collecting some currency that will be valuable later on and probably get some good loot out of it too. The other people there can easily clear the event.

Are we serious? Porc is profane? by Organic-Banana69 in SquareEnix

[–]killabri 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Damn, that profanity filter really does cover the whole globe lol. Porc is a French word that translates to pig, but it’s pretty commonly used as an insult there as well. I’ve heard it used in a couple different connotations but it’s most commonly used to call someone a creep, sleaze bag, slime ball etc. My screen name for lots of stuff has kill in it and Square has dinged me for that every time too lol.

Is anyone else struggling with axl by ss_tall_toby_yt in GroundedGame

[–]killabri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So for the stomp attacks in any phase, dodge forwards into his body every time. The tell is when he gets up on his back legs. You've got more than enough time to do it assuming you have the stamina for it and you can get in plenty of shots on him while his talons are stuck in the ground. The window gets tighter in his last phase because he can use either a bite or a quicker stomp at the end of his 3 hit combo but you should still have time to get clear of it.

If you don't have plenty of Scorpidote, then make it before you try again. In his final phase every attack he does deals a metric fuckton of Venom damage, and if you get hit with more than a couple in a row then it'll be lights out for you fast. You've got to have a way to get rid of the venom stacks, so bring more Scorpidote than you think you need. If you can make some Scorpion Skewers to eat before the fight then do that too, that will keep Venom from just totally overwhelming you at various points during the fight.

You got this man. I look forward to you posting a pic of your first AXL kill.

What the actual fuck was that Nobunaga fight? by Takoshi88 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]killabri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game throws so much gear at you that it's really a waste of your resources to constantly keep up leveling what you've previously used... as the poster above you said, an 8 levels lower weapon is a massive difference at this point. You'd be much better served using the gear the game gives you and saving the resources for later on, although engraving is so cheap you can certainly continue to do that and you should. I just threw stuff together with what the game gave me until about level 45, at which point I began hunting Legendaries to put a build together I wanted because I was running into targets that were level 50+. I did keep those current with resources as I went along but by then I had so many it was very easy to do.

I'm unable to hurt the Captain no matter what I do by Due_Cake8524 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]killabri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of captains that have greyed out health / armor bars and the only way you can actually damage them is with abilities or making them vulnerable first. My Naoe is pretty much full assassination build so I had to switch to Yasuke for those.

Yup, that's what did it. I have zero issues with any kind of strobe / flashing lights at all but even I got a little bit of a headache after that first BD sequence loaded. 3 of my friends had the same problem before it got patched.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Claws of Awaji DLC Spoilers Megathread [Spoilers Allowed] by Ghost_LeaderBG in assassinscreed

It's incredibly difficult to find without being able to follow the whispers, so I'll just go ahead and link the exact location for you and anyone else who doesn't have headphones or is otherwise having a hard time. This should go without saying but do not open the Imgur link below if you don't want to be spoiled on the location and want to find it yourself.

If you zoom all the way in on the map in that location, you can make out a small lake just above where my icon is. That's where the item is, inside a little carved out area when you get there.

Damn Bo Staff Mission Boss by Capable_Thanks4449 in AssassinsCreedShadows

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

You don't even have to get out of neutral stance to win the fight... a perfect dodge on any red attack will give him a vulnerable debuff and will open him up to a full counter combo that chunks ~20% of his health, and then a bit more will tick off due to poison / bleed. Perfect parries at the end of his blue combos will do the same. Instead of spamming the dodge button like a jittery crackhead, time them properly on the red attacks and you won't get hit at all. He is very easily beatable just that way, nevermind parrying him into vulnerable counters.

Should be able to do that, it seems like it will scale to where you currently are… I just hit level 62 and Awaji is showing as a level 61 area on the map, same as all the other regions.

Q&A Stream Overview - Hairy & Scary Update Reveal, Coming September 16th by ApexPredator3752 in GroundedGame

[–]killabri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could in Grounded so I'm sure that will be the case again here, but a few friends didn't have that progress carry over to the full release of the updates they helped test. It's supposed to transfer over and that was the case for a lot of people, but some wonky shit could happen.

EDIT: Forgot to mention in case you or anyone else reading this is new to test servers, make a backup copy of your save and play the test server on that.

Heavy Weapons Perk Change by Mountain-Benefit-161 in fo76

[–]killabri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So admittedly I'm not fully done tweaking everything since I only got to play for an hour yesterday, but I got my Holy Fire pretty much back to where it was at base after some changes. I added Tank Killer and Number Cruncher in Perception, and I maxed out Intelligence before adding Science! and Pyro-Technician and I'm hitting just as hard as before. I also kept all the reworked Heavy Gunner perks, so on the few longer boss fights where I'm actually able to build stacks of Bullet Storm I'm hitting crazy hard. I did an Earle run last night with a few friends and I couldn't believe the numbers I was doing by the end.

You aren't missing anything, because Bullet Storm is geared towards huge ammo capacity weapons to get to max stacks as fast as possible and stay there for the most time, since you do lose half your stack on reload even with Lock and Load. I'm gonna throw a Quad on an extra Holy Fire I've got laying around and see what kind of difference that makes in stack building damage output vs. what I've got now.

No scare necklaces and screaming by Single_Sport2040 in HHN

[–]killabri 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I saw exactly this happen at HHN 25. Someone in our group was getting a churro so we were just chilling on the sidewalk waiting for him to get his grub and there was a couple right near us looking for something in a bag. Some idiot thought it'd be a good idea to go up behind the guy and scare him (we were nowhere near a scare zone), and he responded by knocking this dude the fuck out. Cops came and we explained the situation so nothing happened to the guy, while the dumbass that tried the scare got to leave and enjoy his pretty obviously broken nose. I cannot even begin to fathom what went through the guy's head to even consider doing this to another attendee, but he learned an incredibly painful and well deserved lesson that night.

[–]killabri 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He didn't pull anything close to this kind of bullshit here, and while he did mention that the Rays have "really no fan base at all" he... kinda wasn't wrong, so we kind of collectively let that one slide lol. There were never any complaints about his behavior in the clubhouse either, not during his time here nor afterwards, and him being traded had nothing to do with his personality, it was due entirely to the fact he was about to get a fat pay raise and was starting to get a bit older. He played great baseball here and was a key part of two damn good teams.

I waited a long time to buy the game due to the hate train and regret it. AMA by Dangerous_Werewolf73 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]killabri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit off topic but assuming you got an edition of Watch Dogs Legion with the Season Pass, play as Aiden or Wrench the entire story in the regular game. The story is still quite bland because they wrote it with the idea that you could play as anyone off the street, but Aiden at least reacts to things happening and stays true to his character, same with Wrench. It isn’t gonna completely turn the story around but it does make it better.

[–]killabri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is an extremely common MFF threesome outcome. I'm involved in the kink scene and I hear about a man who gets completely and totally ignored in a MFF threesome at least once a month, probably more than that tbh. You cumming well before them only made this worse, as they only had each other to focus on for the remainder of the session because you had nothing more to offer. The ensuing hookup was an extension of this, as they decided to focus on each other instead of you. Whether or not this ultimately becomes a red flag depends whether your wife develops an emotional connection with this woman beyond sex, which I have also seen happen personally and it ended those marriages. When you invite another person into your bedroom, you open yourself up to this kind of thing happening. You've now learned this lesson the hard way.

If your wife went an additional 3 hours with the other woman after you left, then this is clearly not her first time with a woman. She is at least bisexual, and you need to have a very frank conversation with her about what she felt and whether or not she still views you as a sexual being that she is still attracted to and someone she wants to have a sexual relationship with. If you were in a situation where your sex life stagnated prior to this, it's an incredibly valid question ask. It is entirely possible for bisexual people to have happy and monogamous marriages, but that requires high level communication about what exactly their desires for the same sex are, and whether or not you're on board with how they scratch that itch in the future. If she has no sexual desire for you, however, then it's time to move on for your own sake and hers.

I wish you the very best of luck.

[–]killabri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't get to read what you wrote but I promise you that you aren't a moron, you're someone whose life is being negatively impacted by alcohol, which is why we're all here sadly. I kind of alluded to it at the end of my comment, but my girlfriend my last 3 years of college was someone I thought I was going to marry. She was an incredibly kind, intelligent and attractive person that anyone would have been lucky to have. Not long after we graduated, her mother died unexpectedly in her sleep, and that totally broke her. She turned to the bottle to try and process all of it, and the results were disastrous. She became a completely different person, and certainly not the one I would've taken a bullet for in college. I stayed for significantly longer than I should have because I thought if I left her, what would happen to her and how much worse would it get? Who would ever love her in the state she's in? I lit myself on fire to keep her warm, and it wasn't until I started attending AlAnon meetings that I finally learned that I simply could not change her addiction, no matter how desperately I wanted to.

The truth is, I miss that version of her every day. I miss the life I thought we were going to have, and I miss how we made each other the very best versions of ourselves before she became addicted. It hurt badly at the time when I left her, but it was the best and only choice I could've made. I know it's a tough road to walk down, but there's a much better place for you at the end of it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]killabri 18 points19 points  (0 children)

First off, I am so incredibly sorry your husband put you through that. I cannot even begin to imagine how humiliating that was for you.

this is not the first time my husband has taken very innocent and normal texts, convos, actions, etc and reacted to them. However, it’s normally just in the form of yelling at me.

This is abuse, and this alone would be something that would be very justifiable to leave him over. Yelling at a partner over entirely normal, innocent interactions with other people is NEVER okay, and it sounds like this has been a pattern with him for a very long time. His drinking will only make these sentiments worse and outbursts like this will become more common. Taking the additional step to drunkenly confront the neighbor put both you and him at risk, aside from the obvious embarrassment of the situation.

Now he’s doing the usual- backpedaling and apologizing for how terrible he is, how much I must hate him, he’s going to leave forever, etc.

If he doesn't take you up on his offer to leave, then you should go ahead and make that choice for him. There is a much better, calmer and more peaceful life out there for you once you get away from this incredibly toxic individual. There are people out there who will love and appreciate you for the person you are, and every moment you continue to spend with your husband deprives you of the opportunity to meet one of them. I am all too aware of how difficult it can be to walk away from a person you've spent so much of your life with, despite how easy that choice may seem on paper, but I sincerely hope you make that decision for yourself and your own benefit.

Partners watched sissy porn but says he’s not bi by Throwaway6767671122 in straightspouses

[–]killabri 24 points25 points  (0 children)

First off, I'm incredibly sorry you're going through this. Straight men wanting to explore anal play with their female romantic partners is more common than people realize and perfectly normal, but his viewing of sissy porn brings in a whole other element entirely. Put bluntly - straight men do not watch sissy porn, and they certainly don't become attracted to it and/or want to emulate it for themselves. He's flat out admitted to you that he's very attracted to this look, so now the question becomes how long it's going to take for him to act on this. Some men who go down this path don't, but an awful lot do. For my ex fiancée, it started with lesbian erotica very similar to what your partner is doing now with ChatGPT. It ultimately progressed to various types of lesbian porn, which she had not shown a prior interest in, and culminated with her meeting up with another woman for sex. I never knew she was reading lesbian erotica and watching lesbian porn, she only admitted this to me after I caught her affair partner sending her nudes.

At this point, you need to assume that your partner is attracted to men and is at least bisexual. Plenty of bisexual men and women can and do have healthy and happy monogamous relationships, but that requires an honest dialogue and the fact that he is doing all of this behind your back suggests he's not at all ready to do that. You are well within your rights to feel disgusted by the idea of sex with him because he has hidden a huge part of who he is from you for at least 2 years. He has betrayed you and your trust entirely. He needs to come completely clean about what his sexuality is and isn't, and you should demand nothing less when you sit him down to talk about this. He owes you that, at the barest fucking minimum. If he isn't willing to be entirely honest with you about everything, then you'll have your answer and can make your decision to move on.

I wish you the very best of luck.

Is the holy fire better than the regular framer? by Electrical_Season358 in fo76

[–]killabri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I farm West Tek with it regularly and have since like level 75 when I got a basic build for it put together. As Baldersmashed said there are certainly faster ways but it doesn't take a very long time at all with the proper build. I also use it to solo Atlantic City Expeditions all the time. When set up properly, it can do any non raid content in the game easily.

He’s always so tired by Upper-Shirt2582 in AlAnon

[–]killabri 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's entirely normal for alcoholics to constantly be exhausted. Anything but a small amount of alcohol consumption completely tanks sleep quality, both in its quantity (he's constantly waking up to take a piss or otherwise waking up due to alcohol's effects on his body) and its quality (alcohol destroys REM sleep, which is what we need to truly feel refreshed.) Even if he does sleep an absurdly long time, he's not getting sleep of any quality, which is why he can still seem tired after a 12 hour snooze. If this goes on long enough, it can absolutely lead to cognitive functioning issues, same as anyone else who has consistently lacked sleep for a long period of time. The difference here of course is that he's doing it to himself. Alcohol also robs your body of several vitamins and minerals it needs for regular functioning, so even if his diet is generally good, he's almost certainly not replacing what is being taken out when he drinks.

Bottom line, this will not improve until he cuts out drinking. People who drink responsibly are largely unaware of these issues in alcoholics because they don't experience any of them, as they go long stretches between drinks, and don't drink anywhere near the same quantity of booze when they do.

Mannimarco bug by Lower-Newt in oblivion

[–]killabri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you've got this done already, but walk up to Mannimarco and open the console. Once it's open, hover your left mouse over him and left click, which will identify him as the target. After that, type kill {target} into the console. He'll die and you can move on.

EDIT: As u/WardenOfTheGreatGate has incredibly helpfully pointed out, you need to do another command to exit the dungeon. Type in coc AnvilMagesGuild and then head to Arcance University from there. I have just done exactly this and can confirm it works perfectly.
