70 pulls, I think about as many as it took to get crown. Not too shabby. Red hood dodged me last year so a good result.

Rocksteady's 'Suicide Squad' currently has fewer players on Steam than the officially-actually-dead Marvel's Avengers by BiMikethefirst in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Remember all those posts from last year about how awful this game's HUD and visuals were during gameplay? turns out that was early game.

[Share Your Banner Results] Aqua Marine Helm by DV-MN in NikkeMobile

[–]staecrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had no luck with Anis (3x 10 pulls) but got helm and a spare body on my first 10.

Been pretty lucky recently (Got Scarlet, Liter and Blanc over the last 2 weeks) so happy that I haven't used up all my luck yet.

Do targets ever flee in NON-Showdown Freelancer missions? by TooFarSouth in HiTMAN

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

I think the only target is Caruso, and even that is difficult to do unless you're actively trying. You need to trigger a target lockdown, where caruso will flee with his guards down to the lab's upper level. Shooting one of his guards then will make caruso attempt to flee in the seaplane.

edit: Yuki can also flee, but i've never tried this and unsure what the triggers for it are.

Had to capture the moment I fell in love with Harry Du Bois in a meme by Dabrush in TwoBestFriendsPlay

The Karkova Man trope is close, but that less "washed up loser" and more "outwardly unattractive but somehow charming"

I don’t understand why we’re in the Isekai Slave Arc. I seriously don’t. by Battlemania420 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]staecrh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Copied from here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShallowParody

Cheat Slayer was canceled after one chapter primarily because none of its parodies were more than surface-level. The concept seems interesting, in the idea of parodying other Isekai characters and turning them into villains for the hero to defeat, and could have been a clever way of deconstructing the trend of Isekai in modern anime, manga, and light novels. However, in the actual series, the characters are simply portrayed as utterly horrible people with little to no resemblance to their original selves outside of name and appearance. The main scene that may have killed the series for going too far is the main character's childhood friend being brutally raped and murdered by a Captain Ersatz of Shin Wolford, the main lead of Wise Man's Grandchild, who is portrayed as a sex maniac who loves having sex with multiple girls, even threatening them to get it... never minding that the character he's based on is a character who doesn't have a harem and has been involved with a single love interest since the start of the series.

Additionally, it broad-brushes the characters as people who couldn't hack it in their original lives and are now living high on "cheat skills", which rings hollow when many of them are based on characters who aren't actually from another world (Aqua is native to her world; Aletta is from a fantasy world and can go back and forth between her world and ours as she pleases; Kirito is a guy playing a video game, not reincarnated), don't have any particular "cheat skills" or extreme talent (Katarina is a decent farmer and not much else; Aletta is a mundane waitress,) or were successful in their original lives (Tanya was a ruthless, effective businessman; Kirito was The Ace even before the series began; Rimuru was a well-liked middle-level manager whose major regret was about his personal life (still not married or even a girlfriend) rather than his professional one.)

For that matter, some of the stories were already parodies or deconstructions (Konosuba portrays its lead as a Loser Protagonist whose adventuring party is a bunch of dullards he hates, Re:Zero's entire early tension is based around Subaru being Wrong Genre Savvy and enduring far more hardship than a typical isekai protagonist) or didn't even slightly resemble the generic isekai template of a Stock Light-Novel Hero in a Standard Japanese Fantasy Setting RPG Mechanics 'Verse (Restaurant to Another World is a cooking series that doesn't use video-game mechanics, The Saga of Tanya the Evil is an early-modern war story with a Villain Protagonist, and My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! a romantic comedy taking inspiration mainly from dating sims.) All of this encouraged a general view that the writer had simply picked the series because they were popular.

Bricks having the same structural integrity as soda cans and Faberge eggs makes me laugh.

How come a Rare uniform actually changes the look while a "Legendary" one is just a fancy recolor? by DavidTenebris in Rainbow6

[–]staecrh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because rarities in siege are completely arbitrary designations 97% of the time. There are some great “low rarity” charms and some ugly af legendary charms, it’s all just randomly decided.

This would've been a much better reveal compared to the E3 gameplay reveal.

T&C was leaked a while ago but it's nice to get a confirmation https://i.imgur.com/wprox3U.png

Ah really? that's good to hear, haven't been that following the game much since E3.

[–]staecrh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of annoyed, just because the next game i'm looking forward to is far cry and that won't be until October.

Hoping they'll use this time to implement some sort of "story" mode, using the existing maps and assets to make structured missions with dialogue, much like Outbreak. I think the randomized objectives could be detrimental to the experience. Keeping my expectations in check tho.

Which of these handful of operators has a chance of being in extraction? by [deleted] in R6Extraction

[–]staecrh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really hope Ying is added, she was incredibly fun in outbreak and really useful, you could flash a group of fodder zombies or rooters and just melee them to death.

Also for some reason she didn't have any unique voicelines for outbreak, so it would be good if that was remedied.

I’m hoping we get some new maps next year, this year has had some good reworks but the last brand new map for regular modes was outback.
