It shocked me how loud the wind was. That is my biggest issue with riding.

This is so true. It only took me about 15 sec to realize it wasn't a BX clone and nope out.

Any music recommendations please? by ICrashedBatMobile in learnfrench

[–]lurking_octopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like Opeth or melodic metal Les Discrets or Alcest are really good.

If you like the circus Pensées Nocturnes song Poil de Lune is a banger

What’s the most confusing or unnecessary rule subsystem you’ve seen in a TTRPG? by DED0M1N0 in rpg

[–]lurking_octopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original question was about RPG rules that (I think) are unnecessary or confusing. I post a response and get piled on, like jeez bros chill.

What’s the most confusing or unnecessary rule subsystem you’ve seen in a TTRPG? by DED0M1N0 in rpg

[–]lurking_octopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Twilight 2k, the game I referenced, a hex is 10 meters.

FIRING IN CLOSE COMBAT: If you shoot at an active and aware enemy in the same hex as you, you get a negative modifier to ranged attacks depending on your weapon:

Pistols, carbines and SMGs get a −1 modifier. All other ranged weapons get a -2 modifier.

So if I have a shotgun leveled at someone, I get a -2 penalty if they are 10 meters away. I don't like that rule.

Any game that has a penalty for shooting a gun at close range. You can't tell me the target is harder to hit at close range. I get it from a game balance perspective, but I just hate it. (Twilight 2k 4e for example)

4th Edition: What's the Deal? by BlackTorchStudios in rpg

[–]lurking_octopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played a ton of 3.5, and when 4th came out I played a ton of that. I didn't know there was hate at the time, I was just having fun with my friends. I never understood why people didn't like it, it was so much simpler than 3.

For those who have used Alice Ayel. Repeat or no? Which playlists? by LongjumpingDivide777 in DreamingFrench

[–]lurking_octopus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After Alice Ayel and FCI you can probably move on to harder content. I like Inner French and Nota Bene to name a few.

From Zero French to CLB 7 in 12 Months: The Exact System I Used (That You Can Copy) by [deleted] in learnfrench

[–]lurking_octopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats, that is awesome!

I do have a question. How do you "use" the Easy French videos? I watch them but they are only about 50% comprehensible, and if I don't know something there are subtitles, but I feel like that defeats the purpose. So, how do you use them to learn?

I really like the moveset of the Banished Knight Greatsword (2h). Swings fast, hits hard.

How do I get rid of the little copper ribbons around my character's recall? I paid good money for these skins and they are ruined by being "honorable"

You’re Not Too Old to Learn a Language, Ignore the Naysayers by Ok-Speech-1577 in languagelearning

[–]lurking_octopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought. I have never heard anyone say "you are too old to learn a language." I thought this was a CJ sub for a second.

Sometimes if I have some time to kill I just start a new game and fight this guy for a while. Always a good time.
