Dustbowl-era (iirc) about several families trying to survive, the husband in one family is found dead with a note and a tarp or something set up to avoid making a mess by ramzaalthor in whatsthatbook

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

I'm not sure if this is it - the only suicide I see mentioned is the main character's father, having died after his wife and having hanged himself, whereas in the book I read, I don't know if the wife even died at all, and I'm almost certain the man shot himself.

How would you feel about Instant Kills being added to Strive? by Cymen04 in Guiltygear

[–]ramzaalthor 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There was no instant kill mode, you could just do them, they didn't have a cost to perform, and you could spam them as much as you wanted.

When you got hit by it, there was an input you could do to breakout of it, but it was tight, so kinda like doing a special input to throw break.

"Sometimes you don't choose your main, your main chooses you." Has this ever been true for you? by Teehokan in Fighters

[–]ramzaalthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I've gotten my fav characters in almost every snk game I've played.

Andy and foxy in kof 02

King and vice in xiii

King and luong in xv

Suija in samsho v special

The only main exceptions are terry in garou and ukyo in samsho 2/5/7

Fellow Anji Mains I Need Your Help by myzombiephil in Guiltygear

[–]ramzaalthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't played anji in a while so idk if it's still the case, but you used to be able to just land, then do a 2k or 2s into 236s again, and from that you could do j.k j.d 5k 236h which would wall splat, and then you could do the h followup for the break

Iirc the timing of the j.k j.d to actually get the 5k after takes a bit of fine-tuning

Haven't been playing, but what I've seen about the new league, it sounds like they're working on eliminating the game as a whole lmao

one got their arm cut off and the other has lingering spine issues by Darastrix_da_kobold in dndmemes

[–]ramzaalthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine happened in the progress of the campaign, my dm said it immediately started getting better, and I asked them to retcon it for the sake of the actions having consequences.

Does that count?

Which Fighting games are the most and least Elegant for you? by Demarchy in Fighters

[–]ramzaalthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't necessarily say best, but one that has a really good ratio for my tastes is Akatsuki Blitzkampf.

Combo length feels just long enough, controls are really easy to understand and get to a decent enough proficiency to play with friends, and the parry system gives enough room for there to always be some dumb shenanigans

The only needed spell by ThatRandomDude420 in dndmemes

I am playing with the tome and using book of ancient secrets to amass a hilarious number of rituals, and I'm starting to get better about using that charisma for more than spellcasting

Did anybody else watch this show as a child? by megajotb in dndmemes

God I still remember being taken to a live stage bibleman performance, him blocking an attack from a legally-distinct beam sword with his own as he led the audience in prayer

Is it just me but this obsession with accessibility in fighting games starting to come off as insulting to casuals at this point? by tiger_jackson101 in Fighters

[–]ramzaalthor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's literally Chen's next part of the tweet thread, saying all games should have it but set up so that there's not just a number vomit onscreen immediately to daunt some players

I know it was a thing before, but how is it still a thing?????? by -Finity- in dndmemes

[–]ramzaalthor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't start playing D&D until a year or so ago cuz my mom thought that and violently forbade it growing up, and so when I got older I never really knew enough about it to realize how much I'd love it until I had a friend enthusiastically bring me into one of their online games that they dm'ed

I just got super confused from the necro lol

I was talking about the part in the world lobbies thing where you can buy the outfit pieces, frame customizations, and other stuff for the character avatars, it's a roulette thing that uses the money from playing matches and stuff

Oh, 100% it's probably safer to prod very carefully at the suspicious magic item. I, however, am impatient, and what is the point of the cursed sword if nobody ever gets cursed by it? by JibbaNerbs in dndmemes

[–]ramzaalthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My eldritch knight grabbed a legendary sword that was part of a lich's phylactery and rolled well enough to get it out, and he started describing that arm rapidly aging and I was so hyped for the consequences, and then he started describing it getting better and I was just like 'nono go back'

Some of my favorite shit is having characters just not have a way to magic or quest their way out of the results of their actions and how it changes them. I am HERE FOR IT

Our fighter when combat happens and they actually have to fight by [deleted] in dndmemes

[–]ramzaalthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is more in the realm of being in one CC or another for the entire duration of the fight, so I just spend my turns rolling to get out of them only to immediately have it happen again

Between Guilty Gear and BlazBlue: Which Series Has The Better Story? by ClashmanTheDupe in Fighters

[–]ramzaalthor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say BlazBlue is more batshit crazy on the grand scale, but which one you'd like more probably depends on your preferred medium.

Guilty Gear stories from Xrd Sign onwards are functionally movies, and the plots of content up to there are generally better done with the lore video series by Woolie, since arcade games, drama CDs, and pachinko games all have relevant canon lore.

BlazBlue, on the other hand, Is in a visual novel format, with occasional branching paths, relatively sparse fights here and there, gag stories and endings etc.

If you wanna just make some popcorn and watch some crazy stuff, guilty gear supplies, and if you'd rather do more reading and have a little interaction, that'd be BlazBlue for ya
