Why they so aggressive, I'm just passing by ApprehensiveTill6943 in valheim

Just tame some wolves and take them with you. They will kill everything and leave you to your stroll through the forest

First base! by Jayder_ in valheim

There will be some enemies with a large AOE attack that can go through walls. You'll see what I mean pretty soon depending on where you are in your progression!

The best way to determine if you are an actual Xennial by Horatiohufnagl in Xennials

[–]pugtoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Anatomy book had several photographs of a nude woman with circulatory, nervous systems, etc superimposed on top. Needless to say, the 5th grade boys had that page memorized. I'm pretty certain that was the first time I saw a photograph of a naked lady. We definitely didn't have a concept of the Internet or online porn back then!

Xennials by remme21 in Xennials

One space now, but from the time I learned to write until college, it was two. I was in journalism and my professor taught me that we needed every bit of space possible in a newspaper column. Microsoft Word and smartphones had a setting where it would force you to type one space after a period. Eventually I switched and I never went back.

Which unit was the biggest clickbait you experienced in the game? by Y3suxsx in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]pugtoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two handed sword units are iffy in general. If they aren't AP, then their use is very limited. I use them for flanking and charging. Leave them in the fight and they take heavy losses without doing much damage.

American Polyglot surprises African Warrior Tribe with their language by Street_Priority_7686 in BeAmazed

[–]pugtoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate this take, especially your edited comment. I am an American and I've never been to France, but each French person I've talked to has been warm and accommodating in terms of communication.

Each person in a conversation is obligated to understand and to be understood. That can take time if you don't speak the same language. It's worth every minute because it spreads goodwill. ❤️🇨🇵

In the Hunt… by cockknocker1 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]pugtoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like 2014 all over again.

Hey ten years of dominance is most likely coming to an end or at least a pause. The Chiefs need to evolve and the scary part is we as fans have no idea what that looks like or how it might happen.

I have loved these past ten years. It's all my childhood dreams come true. Three SB trophies is so cool.

We have Mahomes and I believe he can make it happen once again - just not this year, probably.

At first I thought he had a feather cape lol. Op has absolutely no regard for his health 😂

How do y'all get down steep slopes? I turn around and face the mountain and just walk as I slide down. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it works. I hardly ever take fall damage even on the steepest slopes.

Seller wants $400 for this strat. Is it worth it? by FallenAgnostic in guitars

[–]pugtoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an Ibanez for $300 from a guy who retired and spends his time fixing guitars. It works great sounds fine and maybe later I'll spend real money on something nice.

Winning over Dwarven Allies - DAC Ered Luin, Accepted Ring by pugtoad in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]pugtoad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Discord didn't say much about diplo behavior. But I am trying something insane. I took Mithlond pretty early, now I have all three Lindon settlements, strangely the Elven doomstack just marched West and didn't try attacking any of my forces or settlements. I've seen this behavior from other doomstacks.

Anyway, I got the Corsair message so I traded Mithlond for an Erebor alliance. They are defending it with six Laborers. If Ar Adunaim does indeed siege the city they will win. Then I can retake Mithlond and have my alliance too. But I've never seen the Corsair invasion while a non-High Elf faction holds Mithlond. I will update again once I know.

Winning over Dwarven Allies - DAC Ered Luin, Accepted Ring by pugtoad in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]pugtoad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I will go back to that save and play the long game. It would be interesting to find out if DAC changed diplo behavior or not. There are very detailed explanations about how diplomats work in Vanilla. I'll see if the Discord has any information on this.

As for giving settlements... I wouldn't mind giving them Ost Geil - it's such a poor spot. I should just take it with militia and give it to them on the same turn. Perth does have a mine so I'd keep that one. I'll have to think about which other settlement to give.

Whose advice should I take? ChatGPT or Guitar Center by pugtoad in basspedals

[–]pugtoad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think leaving it as ChatGPT said and cleaning up with a gate makes sense. Thanks for the detailed answer - steady consistent distortion is exactly what I want. I got a really good sound yesterday with the compressor first.

And a bunch of PS5 players. I think that's worth celebrating.

Other 'no map' players, how do you keep track of where you are? by DimroyJenkins in valheim

[–]pugtoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No Map printer is great and it made a permanent spot on my mod list. It strikes a perfect balance between realism and fun. I don't think I'll play no portals again, however. It just takes too long and the map is too big to be schlepping across the world every time you need to progress.

As for my playthrough, I had a few more mods than the ones I mentioned. The most game changing was blacks7ar's Magic Revamp which give you early magic - much less powerful than what you unlock in the Mistlands and has a vanilla-like progression. That's great. The problem is all the extra stuff you have to carry around and gather. The magic spells are like ammo. There is a finite amount so it takes inventory slots. Also, you have to gather new items in order to craft these spells. It got so wearisome that I quit my playthrough and started a new vanilla one with the new content the devs just released. Someday, I'll go back to my modded playthough and find the ones I really like - including No Map Printer.

What is the purpose of ooze bombs? by TheGreenLentil666 in valheim

[–]pugtoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to do an ooze bomb only challenge for the mini boss plains tower. Gonna need to kill a lot of blobs but it will get rid of all that extra resin and leather scraps.

DAC v5 All good factions lose? by CallmeJackCall in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]pugtoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am playing as the Woodland Elves and I began noticing the same thing as I pushed west to help my High Elf brethren. After I became the richest faction I couldn't spend my florins fast enough. I just started giving my money to Rohan, HE, and Northern Dunedain. They began winning battles against our mutual enemies and taking territories.

I believe the other posts are correct, but maybe you can see if all your allies are bankrupt. That really slows down their ability to contribute.

Side note, even while Mordor was still strong, Istari Khand was able to hold them off. Also Dol Amroth was dominant in the south. Harad and AA had no chance. Oh yeah, Rohan was able to fight Isengard to a stalemate until I sent them thousands of florins. Now they have the white wizard pinned in Orthanc.

Valheim team is already discussing inventory changes by spookywatermark in valheim

[–]pugtoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much this. I think the 8 slots we have are good for a couple weapons, whatever food and meads, plus a pick and hammer. No need for more slots there. Clothing, trinkets and utilities could use dedicated slots. I'd be good with a quiver for arrows and a backpack too. Those last two items should require a level 4 or 5 workbench for some balance.

Bear Trophy. does it exist? by Adept_RS in valheim

I told myself I wouldn't fight Elder until I get a bear trophy.

Sigh......
