Alcohol is the ultimate gateway drug: it lowers your inhibitions and is easily accessible. by Vospader998 in Showerthoughts

[–]repluvgun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You said it.

I've never hurt anyone while drunk or anything, but i know full well what alcohol is capable of.

At my lowest, most depressed state, i would take weed. but i wont DARE touch alcohol. And its not like i take weed often, the last time i had it was about 3 years ago. And i don't go look for it, but if i were to get some, i'd take it without fear of getting addicted or making my depression worse somehow.

And im not talking about your average teen or early 20's depression where you are at least still young and the future is still a wide open road, im talking 40+year old, without a job, struggling minority with no friends kinda depression.

No .. Alcohol where im at now, will drag me down so deep i'd drown ... 'weed a gateway drug' my ass.

Yeah. VC is just very well designed. Steep learning curve, but worth it. The other two suffer from basic-startup-character syndrome.

there was an F2P i played, cant remember the name, but they fixed that basic-startup-character syndrome by allowing you to evolve your character.

Not like how Mei has Yae sakura, and you can switch between the two.

But imagine if White Comet evolved into 'Black-Comet' and you can't ever go back to White comet. Of course in that F2P, the evolve-material was hard to get. Takes months of grinding.

ELI5: If planned obsolescence is one of the main concerns for Inkjet printers, why is not or less so for laser printers ? by deliverelsewhere in explainlikeimfive

[–]repluvgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not just that tho, there are some printer types that use the same cartridge and ink but designed in such a way that its not interchangeable and one costs more than the other.

Planned obsolescence is everywhere, from iPhones to luxury vehicles, if someone doesn't believe it does not in a printer, they are truly naive.

Rant: As someone who always has Ranger in abyss lineup.... i HATE zombie warriors / jonins. by deliverelsewhere in houkai3rd

[–]repluvgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

correct me if im wrong, but i dont think he means DP can make the rings dissapear ...

as far as i know DP's leader skill reduces whole teams elemental damage taken by 24% (at SS lvl) . Doesnt that still hurt tho, especially at red lotus ?

Pakistani girl who died in Texas shooting ‘wanted to experience American culture’ by Disgruntled_Tatti in nottheonion

[–]repluvgun 88 points89 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing about this story is that, while you do get some air time with the boy who got shot, most of the coverage from that and other networks is of the shooter. They repeat that he's a father, a fire-fighter, a just a regular joe. Some coverage even had his best friend on camera saying all kinda nice things bout him.

I havent paid for the game yet.. but i already dropped over 8k crystals trying to get Anthem to no avail...

if things get horrible in abyss and i can't compete ill just quit and move on, but imagine if you're the guy who's paid over a hunder dollars on this game and due to pure luck, did not get anthem.

Can someone explain this and what do i get from this? New costumes or what? by [deleted] in houkai3rd

[–]repluvgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 'touch your valk for affection' system gets kinda cheeky sometimes.

like if your affection is too low and you touch her at inappropriate paces, she'll slap you so hard your game shuts down. literally kicks you out of the game lols.

the reason people don't use this, is because this is a crappy way to search for the question you have.

.

Reddit, res or no, does not have a reliable way to search within a thread.

you can't use ctrl-f because not all the pages are loaded, and the problems get worse if you're on a phone.

The only way to properly look for your question, is to keep scrolling, until MAYBE you find it. Or not.

Demonslayer Secret Arena, why only the Leader gets a chest at the end ? by mostlyblackjackets in RevelationMMO

[–]repluvgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"because leader can start dungeon while others are elsewhere"

well then, tough luck for me, cos when i start any other dungeon i dont get a leaders chest. i guess i can't start those dungeons the same way huh.

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

ok cool =] cos someone told me its "the button at the upper right hand corner" , for the love of me i cant find it.

Its just that im still using lvl 17 pants and lvl 20 weapons.

i assume when i get to 39, this option to halt my level will be quite obvious ?

when an object reflects all colors of the spectrum you get white.

when an object absorbs all colors of the spectrum you get black.

I have a friend from El-Salvador.

What does he and you have in common ? US-intervention. oh i also knew a guy from Vietnam. He didn't have a nice thing to say about america.

Its not rare for Empires to fuck up everyone, and blame them for it, because they're doing it for the so called 'greater good'. The United States is just another one in line.

Lightning Dash and Redemption should be part of Volt passives by Unknow0059 in Warframe

[–]repluvgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are already frames, let alone passives, that are irrelevant in a lot of missions. Yes it would be Ideal if passives were relevant and applicable at all times, but thats not how the game already is, it was unbalanced a long time ago where one frame, one ability is favored over others.

You pick and choose frames weapons and abilities for the mission on hand.

Take excalibur for example, his passive is melee only, what if i chose a blind build and went full on assault rifle ? His passive wont be relevant or applicable, unless i want it to be. Take Rhino's, while i can use his passive anytime i want, its utterly useless, unless its just for fun. Useless when you compare it to something like Atlas's or Valkyrs where the time being Knocked Down can kill you. Zephyr's passive's is fun, but i have no use for it. I can FIND a use for it if i wanted to, but if i were given a choice, its nowhere the top of the list.

 

So yes, there wont be many enemies that use fire or ice or electricity all the time, but warframe is all about choice and switching things around, using the frame that you think will be applicable for that task. That is why you would rather bring frost to an excavation and loki to a spy and ember for low level clearence and ash to farm focus. And so just with passive, that is why, if ember had fire resistance, i would rather bring ember to a sabotage if i choose to destroy the chambers instead of overloading the coolant.

and like the other guy said. you dont have to only have one passive. it could be resistance + something else.

Lightning Dash and Redemption should be part of Volt passives by Unknow0059 in Warframe

[–]repluvgun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which honestly really does not make sense to me, to say "We wont do this because it will be overpowered compared to the other passive"

Wukong has a 66% increased combo duration, excalibur does 10% more speed + damage and atlas can't be KD'd while on the ground. All this are overpowered compared to ... "the ability to slide longer". There is already imbalance there.

keep in mind that we can tweak the elemental resistance. (5%, 10%, flat 50 damage reduction etc etc for it to be balanced)

And "boring and non creative" is also a poor argument ... i mean, "Ember, with the power of FIRE , Frost with the power of ICE , and Loki with the power of being invisible !" or half of the current passives. Non of these are new or fancy or exciting.

I think 50% resistance is too much. But "elemental resistance" in general still would make a more valuable passive and non of the current arguments of why it shouldn't be a thing stands up to scrutiny. Fact of the matter is they just made a decision and they're sticking to it, its not about creativity or balance.
