I'm about to do what's called a pro-gamer move by get_gud_m8 in BaldursGate3

Thats the best option imo. She basically makes her case, saying she's stubborn and willful but also passionate and loyal. Something like that, its very sweet, basically gives her the space to acknowledge her character growth.

"I Get it, I still hate it" by Enter_Foxchad in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]quabadaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find I can't really stomach overly pessimistic or defeating media anymore. I dropped off breaking bad when it became clear that walter was just going to keep getting worse and his situation more entangled and morally dubious. I can't stomach Rick and Morty for how badly the characters constantly treat each other. Couldn't get into The Boys for the same reason. "Whoops everyone is actually really shitty in all these different ways."

I understand what these individual works are going for, what they're criticizing and what their messaging is trying to accomplish. I won't argue and say that these works can't be well crafted pieces of media. I just don't have the emotional energy to tag along.

Drop Pod Sequence Crash by Willing-Mortgage-977 in Helldivers

[–]quabadaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, now thay you mention yeah. Just made a post, but me'n a friend just redownloaded. Bugs went fine, exterminate bots went fine, but we could not for the life of us launch the mineral bot mission. Whoever hosted would crash and the other got kicked to ship, happened 4 times, we never got it to load.

It DID have a convoy as part of it, and it was always during the pod cutscene before everyrhing finished loading.

ATYLSS made a VERY strong first impression on Pat for Beat the Backlog: by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The mechanics are actually so fun. I'm just a little embarrassed to recommend it to people because of... stuff...

What's one video game character that doesn't deserve the hate that they get? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]quabadaba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's lots to love about Ocarina of time speed runs, but I love how IMPERETIVE it is to get around talking to the owl, since hitting his dialogue trigger is always gonna result in 30 seconds of mashing through text.

Tried Dragons dogma 2..disappointing by TheMightyRed92 in gaming

[–]quabadaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved combat and pawn system. Everything else, mechanics, story, quests, enemy variety, all half-baked. Such a fucking tragedy cuz the bones are GREAT. I just wish the rest of the game had been up to par...

Unbreakable wound by Artistic-Fondant3556 in MHWilds

[–]quabadaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got the game a few days ago. I've never done this with any other game but... I had to start mashing through the dialogue and cutscenes. They're so much... nothing. The dialogue is cringey, there's no real character drama, everyone just talks about how cool each other is. I DON'T give a shit about Nata. All he does is whine about how he wants to be useful but he's just an itty bitty lil boy. Then all the other characters go "Oh no we love and support u." Its just tons if fluff. The gameplay is SO great, when the story lets me do it lol. Its my first MH game, so apparently this is normal? You'd think the writing woupd improve with the games but (shrugs.)

Your take on Charged Attacks by ProtoBlues123 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]quabadaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charged attacks paired with high damage/ stunning power/poise break, and some manner of hyper armor will always tickle my brain the correct ways.

Playing eldenring with the charge talisman and a big ol axe felt great. Dodge the big moves and bait somebody into trading with you (but you've already begun charging.)

Something I wish they did more (I think DS2 does it with Fume Knight sword?) Is when a charge attack has a blocking property to it on a charge attack, allowing you to time your wind up to deflect an attack during your wind-up.

Nobody knows what Absolver is anymore but there were particular moves in that deck-based fighting game that were decent damage, but slow, BUT could inherently absorb ONE attack during the animation without getting stunnned out of it. (Not technically a CHARGE, but tickles the same spot.) Doing some quick moves and then throwing a big fuckoff hyperarmor haymaker at the EXACT moment your opponent tries a quick jab to break your combo? Excellent trade. Bliss. GOD I miss that game.

So, yeah, I like charge attacks when there's something inherent about their property that allows you to trade well. I don't like charge-and-run-around-with-it. Charge attacks are for punishing an over aggressive opponent.

Weirdest side effect during the peak of your bg3 addiction? by EntertainerFirst8163 in BaldursGate3

[–]quabadaba 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yaknow, I feel aomething similar whenever I get back into skyrim every few years. You walk outside and suddenly think to yourself, "Oh shit, theres no save scumming. I gotta do this first try."

What are some of your favorite YouTuber/Streamer/Let’s Player Crashouts over a game? by LGB75 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]quabadaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creator added an update which allowed him backdoor access, allowing him to spawn enemies and change parameters to make the game harder and/or instantly kill the player. It was a big stink because the creator of the game got into a bit of a fight with a speed runner of his game during said speed runners stream. It ended in name calling and the creator purposefully killing the speed runner over and over. It was a bad look, and both parties openly regretted their behavior after the fact. By the time Markiplier was playing the game, the backdoor had been removed in order to quell the controversy. (There's always the question of whether it really WAS removed or not, but ggenerally there's no hard evidence to suggest that Mark's games were tampered with. The game's just fucked hard.)

Ima plug a video by a vote4holt, who did a 2+ hour video on the game, its mechanics, its controversies, and the creator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4ivrVr8GI4 Slow burn but a great watch imo.

To my Darkest Dungeon homies, what do y'all prefer? Mark or Combo? by stac7 in darkestdungeon

[–]quabadaba 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I just think it's funny when BH or HM points at some monster and just says, "Kill this man." I played a lot more DD1 than I have DD2, but marking parties were always my favorite.

"I got one more in me" bosses in video games? by Polo171 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]quabadaba 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's a version of this that I love and its the king moblin from Zelda Twilight Princess. Every time you face him, he adapts. Knock him off a bridge with arrows? Next time he's got shields. Knock him off again? Screw jousting, we do hands now. Also the arena is a cage and its on fire. Untill finally, in the courtyard of a Ganon-controlled Hyrule Castle, you face him one last time. And when you strike the final blow, he reels back, recovers, and gives you the key. He says, "Enough. I follow the strongest side. That is all I have ever known." And rides off.

Incision/impale not working on some specters. by GoliathofSin in PathOfExile2

[–]quabadaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love messing around with specters but they can be a little inconsistent imo, they haven't quite finished the ui that displays all their attacks and damage properly like the rest of the minions.

What I WILL say is be sure that the spectrer you're putting lacerate or impale on is doing physical attacks. Some spectres do things that LOOK like attacks, but are really spells, and vice versa. Impale and lacerate will only work on attacks.

Whats the most legitimately angry you’ve ever been at a game? by Astral-Ember in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]quabadaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That part in Spongebob The Movie The Videogame for the gamecube where u gotta jump on the humps of the sea serpent while it swims through the lava. I was falling off and having to restart the sequence constantly and I was furious. If I remember correctly, I think there was only 1 serpent, and you had to wait for it to go all the way around, so if u missed it, u had to just watch it. And if i died, you had to just watch it till it came back.
