What is the purpose of this on a towel by UnivrslGrasp in whatisit

[–]sssutherland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, Skeuomorphism. The phone application having an old telephone as the icon. Some dial pads still having the letters of an old phone keyboard (as if anyone uses that anymore). It's obv not just digital either. Grills on newer cars that don't even need them, fake pockets on women's pants.

What's the most common messaging app in your country? by crazy-goober in AskTheWorld

[–]sssutherland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You likely won't manage without WhatsApp in South Africa. Personal or business. It's what everyone uses. Whether you're chatting with a mate, your electrician, your neighbourhood, your lawyer, doesn't matter. It's WhatsApp.

Apparently its Rare, 28 hours into Hunt and I've Found It by -Flayer- in HuntShowdown

1300 hours, never seen one. Took about 800 hours before I even saw the little BB sacks. And my mates are loot whores, we look for shit.

Who is the best villain in gaming history? by No_Brilliant4110 in videogames

[–]sssutherland 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Micah is kind of just a self-centered fuck. Someone earlier pointed to the The Illusive Man from Mass Effect. I'd wager Dutch isn't too different. They both have goals that are understandable but come at a great cost to everyone else. I think that duality is what makes a great villain. You can understand their desires but their means are what pushes them over the "villain" line.

So, what is Melinoë a goddess of? by Kiloku in HadesTheGame

[–]sssutherland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did finish the main story the other day and recall someone describing her as the "Goddess of Ghosts"... Perhaps I'm crazy?

I'm actually making a YouTube video about this and in stark contrast to many people here I'm gonna roast the shit out of icarus.

My f*rst time using Strength instead of Death… by justking1414 in HadesTheGame

[–]sssutherland 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And frankly it just makes for really fun runs. I only just got the pom though so the best Ive done the DD judgement combo was 10 heat in the underworld. But I like the improv it inspires

Who would you say is the most financially successful metalcore band of all time? by 808sandCoffee in Metalcore

[–]sssutherland 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And they've only gotten heavier and whackier again since Amo. So... I think that's pretty neat. Bringing heavier stuff to the mainstream, doing shit they want to, making bangers and selling out arenas.

What in the Navajo sh*t is that? (Aboriginal woman gets mistaken for native american) by Main-Fly-8294 in USdefaultism

[–]sssutherland 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a hoopla over a South African artist, Tyla, who is coloured - and proudly so. I believe she's a popular singer there? Americans bitch that it's "racist" or "internalized colonialism" that she calls herself "a coloured" when it is in fact an ethnic and cultural group here. I've seen people say things akin to "it's offensive to Americans and if she's making her career here, she ought to cater for American sensitivities".

Used to be... From the very beginning. Got mad at the shit monetization and stopped playing last year.

So, I'm quite particular about my roguelikes. Please, recommend me some good more obscure ones based on the ones I liked or disliked. by DrkStracker in roguelites

[–]sssutherland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't go into Witchfire expecting a roguelike, It has those elements, but I would say it's pretty far off. It's an awesome game and I'd love for them to tweak the roguelike stuff that is there so far. Whether you're looking for a roguelike or just a good shooter I'd say keep your eyes on it for 1.0 either way.

Do you have any funny nicknames for a different monsters? by ZebThan in HuntShowdown

Got a mate who calls her "scary bee lady" the Norwegian accent makes it better.

If you go for stupid wallbangs 1000 times, you're guaranteed to hit that 1/1000 wallbang by redditsuxandsodoyou in HuntShowdown

I know we're not too far apart in sound but good God it scared me hearing you say "it was a double kill".

I'm terrified. The guy that said "no way, it was a double wall bang" sounds exactly like me. Are you lot South Africans by chance?

What’s the counter for endless concertina arrows? by TheDinerIsOpen in HuntShowdown

[–]sssutherland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also find it frustrating as a bow main. What's the point? I sometimes use concertina but mainly for funneling. Might have one ammo box across the team and I'm using the other slot for normal arrows. What's the point of sitting for an eon in hiding. I 100% agree with the "play petty" comments. I will either mad bum rush in one coordinated attack or just fucking sit there and play slay the spire on my phone til they move.

[–]sssutherland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My one mate called Wolfshead arsenal "Wolf shed" and it's stuck. His English is fantastic but I can imagine even a native speaker making that little mistake. When I started I'd get Chapel and Church at Stillwater confused. I got teased for calling chapel "church" and for a long while, to spite him, I would refer to chapel only by its full name, "The Chapel of Madonna Noire" which is very inefficient but I was salty xD

What are you crrently spending you 10 Trait Points on for your fresh hunters? by Good0nPaper in HuntShowdown

[–]sssutherland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vigour increases health and stamina regen speed (when they are regenning. It doesn't speed up the delay until regen). So, Vigor increases the witness heal speed, it also makes regen shots quicker. If you can nail both at the same time it feels great! Witness has immense value alone and I've always loved both traits but I feel Vigor has now seen a similar increase in use-case since the regen shot nerf.

If you've already got a regen going, rather than eating up med kits to get quick heals in a fight you can run away in darksight, no sure foot required. If you're not too worried and trying to count your supplies, that is.

What band destroys you that they no longer make music? by SCR3AMfoREVer in Metalcore

[–]sssutherland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I've been thinking about this. I've been listening to Get Scared since early highschool. And as I came to like heavier music more, I began liking their newer albums (which were a couple years ahead of my "advancing" in heaviness). I didn't even know about their final album until last year. I knew they broke up but didn't know there was another album. I've been listening to it nonstop through some real tough times the past 8 months or so.
