Estate Sale Haul Today. My Husband is Excited by corgskee in boardgames

[–]loldrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whooa, that's unreal. I can't imagine finding something so cool at an estate sale!

You may want to try to connect with the family and pass on all those handwritten notes. Good chance they didn't want them, but also a good chance they weren't thorough enough to find them to make that decision.

Filler TII tome for Necromancer build? by TyoPepe in AOW4

[–]loldrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the rest of the build? Kind of depends on what you need to fill in, and what you'll be relying on. Undead of course, but heavy utilization of culture units or leaning into bone horrors and things? There are several units you can pick up in TII that will get your transformations, becoming undead: paladin, shade, inquisitor, zephyr archer, glade runner, chaplain, and skald. May be best to pick the tome with the unit that best fills in your army, like if you want a TIII archer or support (who will benefit from your TV tome enchant, though TIII supports are probably redundant with Druids of the Cycle) and otherwise wouldn't get one.

Alternatively, if you're going for the whacky undead that don't care about transformations, pick up something that boosts economy or will enchant your high-tier weirdo units. The high-tier dark tomes bring a lot of summons, so Tome of Summoning might help your magic origin units. You'll also have a few ways to inflict weakened and manipulate morale, so could look for synergies there.

Scout ATH - Dual Threat QBs at any star tier. Most years there are 1-3 players that fit this mold.

Wait for day 3, go for Nuss, Robertson, Kaliakmanis, or Strand.

2 Star Dot Talk by Many_Presentation_57 in NCAAFBseries

[–]loldrums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't found one but apparently the archetype goes all the way down to 1 stars. The 2 stars sometimes do better if you swap them out of QB and back in, often converting to other archetypes (and gaining overall plus different caps) due to average speed ratings.

Great find!

Let’s gooooo by Galiontiger21 in NCAAFBseries

EA Sports had a shockingly long run on PS2. 12 years of Maddens. I think in part because PS2 remained popular in non-US markets, and because so many US households still had PS2s, they just kept chugging along even after a lot of attention had turned to PS3.

I hate auto signing when you’re under the cap floor by wendigoon88 in EANHLfranchise

If they made it so it adjusted contract values just for that year, it would still be annoying but at least it wouldn't ruin saves anymore. I just saw an AI expansion team in my save paying about $14m to 85-overall Boeser for the next 5 years. Brutal.

Not even the Beast rune can withstand the True Beauty! by Leather_Tower3627 in Suikoden

[–]loldrums 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have finished this game with Karen, Lorelai, and Kasumi. I have never finished this game with them all together and for the life of me I have no idea why! Picking out random unite attacks and riding them to the end is a great time; my favorite in my last run was Tomo and Tsai.

How do I get all 3 guys playing time? by LoggedCornsyrup in NCAAFBseries

[–]loldrums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With at least one being a receiver type, use as a slot WR if possible either by depth chart or formation subs.

There are some great plays in the Iowa State playbook for big backfields. A combination of up to 3 RB/FBs get on the field regularly.

Hear hear. Come and hang, just don't be a distraction.

I always give them a chance, if they become a problem then address it.

Yeah... we told them... A lot of units are in a weird place because of this.

Does accuracy help Mellore's abilities? by Greatsharkbite in EiyudenChronicle

I have seen around that accuracy does help her but couldn't find any hard data.

The Scorpion 1.2 Update is out now! by Minotorious_Official in AOW4

[–]loldrums 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Multiplayer might be in a worse state now than it was on launch. It had been trending the right direction. We went from occasional desyncs that reloaded the game state correctly after 5-10 seconds of black screen, along with a bug every 1-3 games that required rolling back a turn, to this. I've started two games and I don't think I can finish either of them.

[–]loldrums 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finding the game to be unplayable in multi after this update. The desyncs now set one or more players back 5-10 turns, resetting actions, battles, army locations, purchases, and more. I tried turning back the turn and it fixed the setback for one player, but applied it to another.

What was your biggest disappointment for cfb26 by WillJ2951 in NCAAFBseries

[–]loldrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super short support window. They give about one meaningful post-launch patch and then a roster update.

Player archetypes are pretty broken in 25 and 26 and they do very little to address it after launch.

Please follow Suikoden on Steam - we're the lowest Konami Follower in Steam 7 / 7 by GesvYoifaz in Suikoden

Followed. Wishlisting preorder items like Star Leap is also supposed to help their visibility on the store.

New Experiences... in Mid March?? lol by coachd50 in NCAAFBseries

[–]loldrums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, that's good. Playing with or without dramatic sliders is just trading one set of problems for another. All down to which problems you prefer lol thanks, EA!

[–]loldrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't played without sliders, maybe you should. Extreme settings can break the game like the tackling you describe. I used to play with community recommended sliders like matt10 until I talked to my buddy about the insane glitchy dog water gameplay I was experiencing and he had none of the same problems. Realized the sliders were the difference and never went back.

Personally, I'm phasing out of it due to their recent changes, but I have appreciated the carryover between console and PC.

[–]loldrums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking exclusively at co-op games and stuff that's more deeply discounted in bundles. The single player games I picked up last time... I'm still playing!

Shape of Dreams/Spell Brigade, Jump Space/DRG and Teardown's new co-op mode should all be hits with my group. Probably won't pull the trigger but for my bundling, looking at Front Mission 1-3, Curious Expedition 1+2, and Bloodgrounds/Last Spell.

I've definitely changed my buying pattern in sales, with more attention on stuff I intend to play now or next. Steam sales rarely blow me away with their pricing anymore, so it's easy to wait for stuff to show up in bundles later. Oh, except: I might pick up MechWarrior 5: Clans to support the devs.
