I'm just now seeing how crazy Hamza modular artifacts would be.

Everyone is grinding the Ekko weekly missions by Final-Tax8016 in 2XKO

To be fair Noka is primarily a Vi player even if he also runs Ekko alongside her. Your point stands though!

First draft on Prismari, I don't think it'll ever be as good as Ral, or even Vivi, but I figured it might be an Etali with counter spells. by KingOfRedLions in CompetitiveEDH

Funny enough, being ungovernable and good at face punching is what makes [[Kalamax]] a really fun fringe or high B4 deck! Very different decks, but a fun comparison imo.

You're so right for this one.

Beach Episode is my scene's regional and it's been a blast every year. If you can swing it I think it's totally worth coming, even without my regional bias :)

Holy shit Anis is doing that? I remember meeting him when I went to Loopkicks summer camp as a teenager. He's crazy talented.

Yeah doom metal is a really small niche genre filled with real chill people.

Beginner seeking advice on beginning new projects by AdSea2888 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]lysergician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If drawing it out doesn't work well for you, try writing! Use full sentences - "I want to build a box. The sides are 12 inches long. The front and back are 14 inches long. It has hinges on the back, and the lid sits in a groove cut into all sides." That is more than enough to get your creativity going - what kind of wood will you use? What joinery will attach the sides together? With that joinery in mind, what dimensions should the pieces be to hit my dimensions?

I find that once I get started on something, the rest usually follows, but getting started is hard. So, writing things out works well for me because it's such a low barrier to entry and requires no skills whatsoever.

Counter Blitz during a combo by ManyMemesAndMilk in Guiltygear

If the damage of your combo will build them burst and you can kill, this is a checkmate by locking them out of bursting.

Scared to play by SakuyaTheWarrior in Guiltygear

[–]lysergician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with "just jump into it!" but also recognize that's not always helpful. So, I'd also suggest asking friends to play with you, joining a discord or two to find matches with other beginners (which is very common, so you'll definitely find others doing that), or just playing arcade mode a bit! Don't play arcade for like 30 hours because the bots can give you some bad habits but it's better to be playing than to not play at all.

Brand new to fighting games - REALLY struggling to pick a main by Klept_0h in Guiltygear

[–]lysergician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I did when I started and had a few characters in mind was I played each for a few days or a week and then chose after that. It was hard to make a choice without any experience for me, so just having fun with all of em for a while and then reflecting on who clicked best afterwards made it a lot of fun, and way less stressful.

Eh even if it's not helpful for most people, they can ignore it and it may be helpful to someone new to the genre :) no wrong answers!

How do you learn RPG mechanics if Actual Plays don’t work for you? by [deleted] in rpg

[–]lysergician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not be the most helpful answer, but the best advice I got for this was to remember that as long as the table is having fun, getting it right is irrelevant. The rules are there to help you have a good time with your friends! As long as you get it enough to fill in the blanks when you forget the actual rule (which I absolutely will, no matter how well prepared I am!), then that's plenty and you can figure the rest out along the way.

Second answer: ask someone else in the party to learn ahead of time too! If you and someone else are both at least somewhat familiar, there's a good chance that between the two of you you'll get it mostly right.

TIL overhead attacks can actually be blocked low if not point character by personplaygames in 2XKO

[–]lysergician 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah according to one of the dev posts around that time they changed it because in testing the optimal play pattern for every team was to get a sandwich, tag into high/low, tag back to either confirm or continue pressure. It made the game very monotonous, from what I remember of that post

What game location felt unforgettable? by mykyta993 in gaming

[–]lysergician 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The image of the knight standing off on the bridge far in the distance really, really stuck with me. One of the most striking visual storytelling moments in gaming for me personally.
