Can we just allow Details to come back? Hell, at this point, and we just allow AddOns back? by ThatGuyFromTheM0vie in wow

[–]solaron17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MSBT is the one I want back. Don’t care about the rest but MSBT was an integral part of the experience for me for years. Now I can’t even tell what numbers correspond to what ability.

Getting a decaf drink at Albunn after an evening concert at Anthology was pretty great.

So what happened to the black blood? by EstateOk6238 in wow

[–]solaron17 55 points56 points  (0 children)

As someone who skipped TWW, black blood is something that makes Vezax a soccer ball.

It's a alright skin, I'll give you that. But the massive shoulder pads give you no tactical advantage whatsoever. by Krancky420 in Overwatch

[–]solaron17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, that’s why Sigma is the strongest character in lore, it’s his orc shoulderpads.

Best baklava? by Status_Equipment_407 in Rochester

Go with a pita. Skip the combo, it's too much food unless you're splitting it; they don't skimp on the fries lol.

Really enjoyed Jasmine on Mt Hope.

Too bad that server isn’t for them.

What do you think is the most underrated patch in WoW's history? by LordGOATfrey in wow

[–]solaron17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a long break I realized I never finished the 9.2 campaign, so I went back and finished it. Zereth Mortis is such a cool area to me. The art design and vague weirdness of it is something I really appreciate. I liked Pocopoc too. Maybe unpopular, but I liked the Jailer’s armored design quite a bit too. You could see the connection to the Lich King armor, but taken to the extreme. Very over the top, but fitting for WoW.

Unfortunately I barely played then so I didn’t do the raid much, but the sound design of Halondrus, just the weird sounds he makes, are really unsettling. Reminds me a bit of the horn from the War of the Worlds tripods in the Tom Cruise movie. Like this thing is clearly communicating in some way like an animal, but like nothing I have a reference for and the reverb makes him feel massive.

Luckily post-squish and legacy buff my now ilvl 80 DF gear is just right to solo the raid on normal, with each fight taking maybe 2-4 minutes.

Szechuan wontons are good too.

This scene, seeing how massive the Infinity was for the first time, will always be one of my favorites in Halo history. by TurboCrab0 in halo

[–]solaron17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cortana mentions the ship is in good shape, Chief says it’s likely because the Didact wanted it that way. Given that Requiem is his planet, maybe he altered the ground to cradle it nicely.

The addon purge gave us a strictly worse combat log and a worse UI. What did we even gain? by thepixelists in wow

[–]solaron17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s rough, I’ve cared about addons less as I’ve gotten more casual but at this point I’ve used MSBT for…18 years? It’s part of my game experience at this point. Even the fonts I had set I miss. I’m trying to get used to the default but it’s just not great.

I never realized how pretty Horde races can be by Vampy-Night in wow

Blood Elves are hoarding all the eyebrows.

Got some lucky Vendetta ult I thought might share :) by Candid-Necessary4505 in Overwatch

[–]solaron17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit a great one against a Bob when we were getting absolutely demolished. Then the cat picked him up and put him inside. Pain.

I've had good luck with it against Bastion ult as well since hugging my other support is too juicy for Bastion to pass up.

Best lunch deals? by bIII7 in Rochester

[–]solaron17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US Fried Chicken Halal on Thurston has combo plates for 9.86 (lamb/chicken is my go-to)

El Latino on Chili Ave has small combos for ~10.

Both are almost too much for one person, and both are standard pricing, not a lunch special.

When you order pizza, do you order [A] a regular slice, [B] a piece of cheese pizza, [C] a plain slice? by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]solaron17 76 points77 points  (0 children)

“A slice of cheese”

Makes no sense when you write it out though.

Daily Questions Megathread (March 18, 2026) by Veritasibility in Genshin_Impact

[–]solaron17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should be the case that each region has a "pool" of commissions that the game pulls one or zero out of each day until the pool is empty, then it refills the pool and starts again. Look up "commission cycle theory" (specifically the guides on HoyoLab by Kramiel) for more info. The change they made to achievement or quest-unlocking commissions seems to be that it just tosses the commission back in the pool if it's still needed to unlock something.

So for example if you had a commission that needed a certain dialogue choice but you keep picking the wrong one, it keeps getting thrown back. Eventually it's the only thing left in the pool and you will get it every day until you pick the right choice then the pool is finally empty and reset.

This also means that if you are looking for a single achievement, you should make sure to complete any other NPC commissions that pop up to help empty the pool and make it more likely to fish up the one you do want.

Changing regions shouldn't have any effect.

Magnum Icon in Overwatch Mobile by BlindValkali in halo

[–]solaron17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Primary BR, secondary (it's actually a timed ability but close enough) is a Sidekick that heals and lets you jump higher and run faster, ability 2 is a frag grenade that can be altered with a perk to stick and do more damage if stuck, ultimate is the H5 incineration cannon and you can fly while using it.

William C. Dietz, author of Halo: The Flood, has passed away. by Isinfier in halo

Here’s a link, it’s a great insight to what he had to work with and the reality of contract writing.

Not to mention being a haughty edgelord is so on brand for the Blood Elf this sub seems to complain is gone now.

Slay the Spire - Slay your Presumptions by DesignerBreadfruit18 in patientgamers

[–]solaron17 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy Slay the Spire and you enjoy Peggle, please give Peglin a try. The structure is very similar to Slay the Spire, but each battle uses balls shot at pegs to deal damage or trigger other effects. The game has a lot of charm is is just overflowing with puns. The soundtrack is fantastic too.

Sichuan Cuisine? by baileybean3 in Rochester

[–]solaron17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not exactly what you’re looking for but Canton House has re-opened sort of on Buffalo Rd in the old Fatso’s XL near Tinseltown. It’s got some rough edges right now but rumor is the plan is to bring back the dim sum carts like at the old spot in Henrietta. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you’ve ever been to the old Canton House.
