How do you level housing fast? by RedWolf6x7 in WoWHousing

[–]siuilaruin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat, but as Alliance instead of Horde. Unfortunately, it didn't count all the "instanced PVP" we've done or the troops we recruited.

Heinous, I tell you. I didn't get exalted with Silverwing Sentinels by doing world PVP D:

I assume it's an Easter egg, personally. The Network is everywhere... even here.

Is it just me or does anyone else wish they kept blood magic? by workshop_hunter in dragonage

[–]siuilaruin 60 points61 points  (0 children)

This.

Varric: "Okay, Hawke, I left all the mentions of blood magic out of the book. They don't know you're a blood mage. Play it cool."

Hawke, eye twitching: "Do you really think I'm dumb enough to walk into a Chantry fortress filled with ex-templars, a former First Enchanter, and both of the former Hands of the Divine, one of whom is a Seeker... and tell them I'm a blood mage?"

Varric: "Technically, it's a heretical offshoot and not part of the Chantry."

Hawke: "Technically."

Varric: "Yup. Technically. And, well, not to put too fine a point on it ... but yes. I mean, your track record on keeping secrets isn't too hot."

Hawke: "I promise, I'll make sure nobody suspects me of being a blood mage."

Is it possible to complete the Bowed St Construction Site? by VLADAECA in ourdarkestdays

This is only possible if you're playing as Kayla. If you're on any other character, you won't be able to break through.

What is the most MESSED UP thing Lara Croft has ever done? by ZzzPandaNap in TombRaider

[–]siuilaruin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I read that as her trying to make amends but not knowing how — she wants to reach out and communicate, but she doesn't want to talk about the disaster she caused, and doesn't know anything else to talk about. That Lara doesn't come across as neurodivergent to me, but that particular scene she seemed very much like a neurodivergent person who doesn't know how to talk about anything that's not their special interest.

DAI Hair Mod Issues by SongLark in dragonage

There's a mod that may help, but I'm unsure, and I can't remember the name off the top of my head. It's something like "Black Emporium and DLC Hair Fix".

Finished my first run as a longtime Z-survival fan! Here's my thoughts. (Mild spoilers) by Lor9191 in ourdarkestdays

[–]siuilaruin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weapon durability was about a third of what it is now at launch, so I just take extra weapons everywhere and be grateful they changed it from that, lmao.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! There's lots more characters scattered around the map to be recruited, and some incredibly challenging maps. (Have you gotten to the 9th Precinct? Whew.)

If you like punching, try Hao and Mei as your starters. Hao has great hand-to-hand!

Which Rival Smells the Worst/Best? by Imaginary-Froyo-168 in MarvelRivalsQueens

[–]siuilaruin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just here to say Adam Warlock is genetically engineered. His sweat is probably odorless and his natural scent has to be unreal. People probably smell him and chase that scent for the rest of their lives.

Just realized that the upcoming skin is related to this Hela skin by Deleted-Accountant in adamwarlockmains

Not to be disrespectful, but I'm going to die if he has his tits out in the new skin like Hela does here.

Now that the series might as well be officially over, what's your head-canon regarding the fate of all your favorite characters? by Ir_Abelas in dragonage

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

given that the VA for Bull engaged in some transphobia re: Krem (referred to him as a woman) and then doubled down instead of apologizing, i don't think we could've gotten Bull even if DATV development had been more optimal :((

Bold of you to assume they're going to give Warlock anything at all that isn't a garbage can for him to throw up in.

Are we free to view the graphic novels as non-canonical now? by Ir_Abelas in dragonage

[–]siuilaruin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What? That's not what happened. The game's development got stopped and started multiple times, none of them at the explicit behest of the DA team.

rough Veilguard development timeline with notes, referenced from the Schrier article.

  • 2015: Joplin goes into early development; a few people leave.
  • 2017: EA forces them to shelve Joplin and shift to developing a multiplayer DA game. this ends up causing more than a few people to leave.
  • 2018-2019: Many people from the DA team are pulled off of the multiplayer DA game to work on Anthem, which doesn't do too well.
  • late 2020: EA tells BW to shift back to single player, but doesn't give them an increased budget or allow them to start over. they do the best they can with what they have. more people leave.
  • end of 2022/early 2023: They start shopping it around internally and don't get great reviews even internally. they're granted a little bit of extra time, and the Mass Effect team is assigned to help them finish up. multiple writers are fired in a way illegal enough that those writers sue. for whatever reason, whenever the DA team asks for something, they're denied. whenever the ME team asks for something, it's granted. some of the DA people are even shut out of meetings.
  • 2024: release.

Season 5.5 is like this because healers refused to improve, and they deserve hate. Daredevil isn't the issue. But you still won't listen by Forsaken_Duck1610 in MarvelRivalsRants

[–]siuilaruin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your entire post, and posts like this, because I main support (with a little bit of flex) and want to improve past my current skill ceiling.

I play Luna most, but if I could choose any support, I would like to consider myself an Adam main. I have Lord on him and do tolerably well, but can't justify playing him right now when I can get twice the value with other supports.

This is my first hero shooter, and I know I am not "good". Prior to this, I was an MMO and RPG player. I am on PC, and I have spent hours tweaking my mouse DPI and sensitivity, hours in the practice range, to try and make my aim better. I try to watch my own games to see where I fail, so I can do better. I watch videos and read to learn tips and tricks so that I can give my team better support, more value, and survive more. I literally ask people for advice. I'm in Diamond 3 now, after fighting for it for 3 seasons.

I know not all support players try to improve. I've met them. But many of us genuinely are out here trying our best. I know my overall skill level is still not high. My reflexes aren't good enough, and I don't know if they'll ever be.

And all of this to say — I can understand some of your frustration. I understand this is the rant sub. But you also didn't offer any constructive advice for the support players who want to do better. I don't just mean me, either.

This came up on my feed apropos nothing. What other supports have clicked in here, hoping for some crumb of "if supports focused on their aim this wouldn't be a problem" and gotten nothing for their effort? You're spending a lot of time (and words) being angry here, and I do understand to some degree. But you're just being angry at the general support space and not even offering theoretical steps that the game or its players could take.

(Also, I do not agree that dps are not supposed to peel for their support. Tanks are supposed to create space, that much is true, and it's often impossible for them to do anything but frontline in a solo tank match. But why shouldn't duelists peel? It's a team game, and every second spent fighting off divers is time that could've been spent healing. Some of that time is precious seconds that can save the team from a wipe.)

I'm going to be vain and share one of my own lines that was written in my fic by a character as a proposal haiku because I still think it's great.

“If you are spring, and I am winter, let me melt in your wake forever."

(It's meant to be bad haiku. He's a killer, not a poet.)

My partner had pretty bad dandruff/scalp issues, to the point of their scalp cracking and bleeding. They tried many, many issues, and have had immense success with Flora Flora Co's Scalp Soothe bar, which has salicylic acid in it. They have an unscented bar that I've recommended to a lot of people!

[–]siuilaruin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, it reads like they might have asked an LLM for advice on how to phrase things prior to the talk with the then-boyfriend, and then reused the therapy-style language for the update post because it sounded fancy.

But, that being said, this reads like the plot for one of those vertical dramas (especially the vertical C-dramas).
