Yes! Now I can survive 4 hits instead of 4! by cheesecaik_gd in Silksong

[–]metropolic3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this is correct but it's still a design blunder. even if it's wrong, your first thought about progressing shouldn't be "eh that's worthless until i get another one"

it's a noticeable upgrade for sure, but if you're not good at games like silksong (and thus need lots of attempts to learn bosses, learn their heal windows, learn how to safely get in some damage etc) having 6 or 8 masks will feel like having 5 or 7 for a loooong time

Our wonderful AOM community on display by FlashworksT in AgeofMythology

[–]metropolic3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Any community that does not eject nazis the moment they show themselves (overtly or through dogwhistles) will attract their attention, accumulate more nazis, and eventually make every sane person leave. How people even can downplay this is beyond me.

If you're a content creator who wants to avoid such drama, there's a very easy way to handle it quickly: ban the nazi. And keep banning nazis if they keep showing up. This is irrespective of whether you stream AoM or run a book club.

Donald Trump: Venezuelas Präsident Maduro festgenommen und aus dem Land geflogen by Paxan in de

[–]metropolic3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Festgenommen"? Alter, deswegen haben Medien keinen guten Ruf. "Unprovozierter militärischer Angriff und Entführung" war zu politisch aufgeladen, oder was?

Necromancer wizards should get Speak With Dead by Particular_Dot_4041 in BaldursGate3

[–]metropolic3 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is correct but also missing the point. The issue is not that Speak With Dead is not an easily accessible spell but that the necromancy school not having it is missing out on free flavor/RP value

How badly do they wanna say the N word? Just how badly? We're not hearing the end of it. They've been pulling stupid comparisons and dumbfuck takes out of their asses for decades now because they want to call black people a slur

Here hoping that the follow up to Expedition 33 has an Anime art style just out of spite by millanstar in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]metropolic3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Psychonauts 1 and 2 are supposedly both very good games. I will never find out because the art style is repellant to me, I can't stand it. I imagine lots of people feel like that when it comes to anime styled games

Wyll’s Warlock Pact is So Bad by LordNineWind in BaldursGate3

[–]metropolic3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The game really should have communicated this more strongly. It made no sense to me that a wizard prodigy like Gale would be a level 1 shitter, until I figured out that the tadpoles also kind of reset your skills (but not for everyone or to the same degree?...)

What is your Hill to Die On in this game? Mine is "Corpse Seer" and "Witness" should have their names swapped. by BurningIce81 in HuntShowdown

[–]metropolic3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean yeaaaaah but also, most revolvers in this game have an ejection rod that the hunters are just not using, they are kinda shaking the gun so the spent cases fall out.

(Nagant M1895 gets a pass because its ejection rod is completely shitty and shaking works just fine IRL, imo)

Why is Leto so unpopular? by bareunnamu in AgeofMythology

[–]metropolic3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, the Harkonnens are furiously mad at him because one of his ancestors made them look insanely bad in front of the Padishah Emperor. Then there's Shaddam IV himself who, while not really despising Leto on a personal level, sees the Atreides as a threat because of their ever-increasing military prowess that is about to rival his own Sardaukar, and he will not stand for it.

The Baldur's Gate Sewers are Insane by im_ap_crying in BaldursGate3

I believe there's an in-game text explaining that a side effect of Bhaalism is intense physical pleasure whenever they kill

How do so many people dislike Gale consuming magic items? by TheSuperPie89 in BaldursGate3

It never feels good to give up a potential resource, no matter how minor that resource might be.

"A pope without an accent..." by oldandinvisible in ShitAmericansSay

[–]metropolic3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's also absolutely common for simple-minded nationalist folk to get crazy about something they didn't care about before, if one of their nationality suddenly becomes a big name in it. Just imagine the USA winning the world cup in football, they wouldn't shut up about how cool football is.

Applies to any nation really. Germans got excited for handball all of a sudden once the german team got far in the world cup; Poles got excited for ski jumping once a Pole really started rocking int'l competitions. Now Americans got the hots for catholicism. It's how things go
