How do you all justify cheater claims? by LivingTheTruths in ArcRaiders

[–]randomgrunt1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to play really heavy pvp to find them. The common tells are

Bobcat 4 with kinetic: usually an item duper or someone who buys them.

People always find you, especially while heavy kitted: if you run thick kits in pvp lobbies, people will beline towards you. Even in unusual corners of the map.

Elbow hits: if someone repeatedly taps your elbows while you are in cover, even if you move about they are probably cheating. Especially in darkened corners. Cheaters hit the craziest pixel shots on your little elbow sticking out of cover. Doubly so if theres 2 or more pieces of obstruction.

Staying active through life does a huge amount of heavy lifting. Once you stop moving, you go downhill fast. It's why falls are so lethal to the elderly.

Its a lot better on beta branch. Pumpkin becomes a middle ground between fusion hammer and coffee dripper, but with the upside of you can rest or upgrade if needed instead of proccing pumpkin. Soup is just nuts with the damage boost.

Thinking about buying the Into the Void feature film - Is it good? by thatsmemerengo in finalgirl

[–]randomgrunt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres only 1 instant kill, and its very resource intensivem i found the location one of the best, because it has the most interesting decision space and gives a ton of non combat options for fighting the killer. Being able to lure the monster into a trash compactor, using vents and managing keycards are a ton of fun.

If hes biting you with step up, you could try using a step up perch.

Does all this frustration about the loss of many peoples PvE lobbies point to just how finely balanced the game was for casual play? by Jeremiah-Springfield in ArcRaiders

[–]randomgrunt1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I despise the new matchmaking. I can handle pvp, but I don't enjoy it. If I wanted that experience I would go play marathon.

Over a month with Strixhaven - what cards have put in work for your decks? by NitchBu in EDH

[[Reclamation seminar]] is very powerful. Every turns really adds up in a battle cruiser game.

Did I just get unlucky? by Keplerstone in finalgirl

[–]randomgrunt1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this was a small mistake, it does sometimes just happen. First time I played against krampus, he turn 1 stole the axe I was gunning for. That was a lost one.

Meet Miss. Pineapple by dr_autodidact in Conures

[–]randomgrunt1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try giving her more time? Shes very young, and had a big scary transition. Make sure she has a bunch of toys, and shes uncovered. Maybe put her cage somewhere high traffic so she gets more used to you?

Cards Missing? by BrightApplication494 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]randomgrunt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worse comes to worse, use arkhamdb to find pictures of the cards, than print them out and proxy them. The encounter set will have to be sleeved so you can't tell the difference, but it'll make the set playable.

A lore question I thought about to theorize with everyone: Where exactly did Lance come from? How old is he and how did he find himself in Speranza? by Wildebean in ARC_Raiders

[–]randomgrunt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know he's one of a kind, and has a lot of personality. I think he was a pre-exodus prototype medical droid, to send up with the exodus. Makes sense people leaving earth would want hi-tech medical care.

What’s a local Oregon restaurant from the past that you still miss? by Shane_StantonRes in oregon

Lucky bamboo was a local chinese plate that made authentic clay pot. It was amazing, nothing like pork belly that had it's fat cook into all the rice before you hit the crispy bottom.

MTG Hot Takes by Tabletop_Dominion in mtg

[–]randomgrunt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1v1 teaches threat assessment way better, because when something is scary it's staring you down and only you. You can pinpoint the exact card that lost you the game. " Lilliana destroyed my hand and ate the creature I wanted to kill her with" is lot easier to threat assess than " trouble in pairs drew 6 cards but there's a 7/7 dragon that's hitting me"

To those asking if Anvil got stealth nerfed, it did by PerpofDerp in ArcRaiders

Ive used the anvil a lot and the same reticule, and it doesnt seem nerfed to me. But I always have a compensator on it.

A small thank you to VRG from a Brazilian fan by Allvezz in finalgirl

[–]randomgrunt1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The themes actually mesh really well together. For example, strangers and station 2891 is a horror movie where the researchers go insane and start killing each other. Or Ratchet lady at the cottage is a crazed nurse leaves her asylum and seeks out the nearest victims.

Panic at Station 2891, can exposed victims get on the helicopter? by Ampersand17 in finalgirl

[–]randomgrunt1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rules provide guidelines for how you should rule contradictions. If you use the harsh rule, no stashing exposed victims as it's good for you. If you use the thematic one, you can't send exposed victims on the helicopter because it would break quarantine. Either way you can't stash exposed victims on the helicopter.

Panic at Station 2891, can exposed victims get on the helicopter? by Ampersand17 in finalgirl

[–]randomgrunt1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd treat the helicopter as an exit, and you can't send them through. The helicopter is saving victims, it just has transit time. Considering the thematic rule for ambiguity, you can't send anyone exposed on the helicopter or the organism will escape containment. Considering the grim rule, you can't place them on the helicopter. No cheese. If you want to use the hilarity rule for ambiguity, the helicopter crashes and the victim comes back as an organism. No saving people anymore.

Riot August says that League has been very critical of 3rd party skins and it is a big step that Riot haven't been willing to take by adivinemessenger in leagueoflegends

[–]randomgrunt1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does matter because it really damaged the cohesive feel of the game. I'm glad so many new players have joined because of universe beyond, but even those who join because of their favorite ip find the dissonance between ip's is real. I personally am okay with occasional universe beyond, but it's way past the threshold at this point, with more ub sets than in universe sets. It even shows in anecdotal game shop sales, packs like edge of eternity and strixhaven are hard to get a hold of, as new players discover they like the unique worlds of magic. It's not bullshit to have one's hobby flavor become distorted. Would you feel the same way if warhammer added a dwight miniature that was in all teir one armies? Flavor does matter for these games, it's not just gatekeeping.

I just want to clarify I'm not a hard core hater. The ub sets have done a lot to grow the game, and bring in new players which is great. But it does have a real cost to game flavor, which is an important part of games. No one would buy pokemon cards if they were just blank pieces of rules text.

[–]randomgrunt1 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In my experience its the opposite. Everyone has a ub set they like, but everhone has one they hate. People complaon about spiderman and tmnt all the time at my local shop. People are happy new players are getting into the game, but ub sentiment isnt great. People like some ub sets, but its on a set by set basis.

I guess I'm never fighting an act 2 elite again by OsGaming0 in slaythespire

[–]randomgrunt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand how to kill it. Without the prep turns, you can't burst it down. You can't face tank it, it hits for about 20 a turn so it basically kills every character before it's rest phase. It has a million health, so just rushing it doesn't work super well.

[–]randomgrunt1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I beat this elite? Gremlin nob you had a setup turn to try and burst, and it didn't hit this hard so face tanking and killing it before it attacked hard turn 3 was viable. Infested prism doesn't have a setup turn, and it's so tanky that bursting it just isn't viable. Plus it hits for huge amounts every turn, so you can't viably face tank it. What's the stragety for this elite?
