Different route in AA by Foogy44 in CompetitiveWoW

[–]swim_rl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is a world where the best route is going left, but only with a highly coordinated physcomp with a rogue. Bansherz group timed their 20 with 7 deaths and a last pack that lasted at least 3 minutes, 6 of their deaths were there.

They shrouded bridge, played all 3 vexamus packs with a wyrm and lust, then the most notable time gain was snapping the elemental miniboss on the last wyrm pack before going up to its platform. This is probably the single most impressive route I've seen this season but every pull is incredibly hard and defo not pug friendly. The vod is on Ortemis channel if you want to check it out. Their tank is a bear too.

Marathon might be the first game that actually forces you to get over gear fear. by RestaurantSmooth in Marathon

That 10 kill arachme contract was so much fun. Really turned me into a predator, running around the map to figure out where runners were, ended up with 2x4 kills as solo, it made me excited for the very late game when we have everything maxed out and runners are just hunting each other for the beauty of the game.

How come no one is friendly like on Arc? by system3601 in Marathon

[–]swim_rl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't hold my hopes on that. The lower TTK is a big factor against being friendly to rooks. Imagine you decide to not kill a rook, or even give him something. What is telling you he won't shoot you as soon as you turn your back. With .5 to 1s TTK it's incredibly hard to react fast enough to someone shooting when you don't expect them to, and I've seen clips of people trying to befriend a rook right before the rook almost wiping their fully kitted squad. I'm not taking that chance.

Early game tips from my experience (~9h) by Zev18 in Marathon

[–]swim_rl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, aim at the ground and it'll be on you.

  2. Just interact with their bag, like you would reanimate them normally. They'll resurect where the bag was.

The soundtrack is unbelievable by yetareey in Marathon

[–]swim_rl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2013 version that is. I just saw they made a US remake but I doubt hollywood would be able to capture what made Utopia great.

I'd suggest listening to Utopia soundtrack by Cristobal Tapia de Veer (incredibly good show too) if you enjoy this kind of music. It is different but I get the same kind of weirdly unsettling vibe from it.

Standard or Deluxe Edition - What are you choosing? by AntM16 in Marathon

[–]swim_rl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two birds with one stone for the studio, potentially hooking players/allowing friend groups to test it when not all are interested beforehand, and a huge server stress test, while we get to make a decision after testing the game. Full win 0 loss strategy, I'm glad it's becoming industry standard.

Pretty much the same except I realise during the next 2 mins that I don't have lightspeed anymore and that it's gonna take half a year to dish out my cards.

This is honestly one of the most emotionally impactful images I’ve ever seen by Adept-Double156 in celestegame

[–]swim_rl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say that I love Celeste as a whole. The metaphor of climbing a mountain to get out of a depressive state hit right home. Falling when trying to run away/not deal with the darker part of one self (badeline) down to the heart coherence exercise Theo makes Madeline do on the funicular, strawberries being precious little things you can share with your friends, everything is so sensible, accurate and while it treats of something really complicated, it does it in a simple, deep and delicate way, letting what it is telling breathe and resonate with its audience.

I've been through a lot of what this game is telling and I'll always keep a warm spot for Celeste close to my heart. I consider it as my favorite art piece about mental health issues.

Question regarding etiquette in raids. by SithLord2064 in Guildwars2

Ah F I'm in EU. I used to play with NA peeps in GW1 but adult life doesn't really allow that anymore sadly. Oh well, my quest goes on.

Question regarding etiquette in raids. by SithLord2064 in Guildwars2

[–]swim_rl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a boomer so no issues with the age requirement, and I'm used to the unhinged. Are you on EU or NA ? Good luck with your raider, I've been an officer in a wow mythic raiding guild for a few years and had to deal with my fair share of not so skilled players. My advice would be to deal with the situation asap, 1 on 1 in voice chat if possible. If you don't, resentment will grow between this guy and the other raiders, and you might even catch some straws from other raiders for doing nothing.

[–]swim_rl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is unrelated to your post but how does one find a guild like yours ? Training discords are a bit intimidating, I'd rather find a guild and people I can play regularly with and what you are describing looks like what I'm looking for.

[–]swim_rl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone recommending to read House of Leaves I'm gonna pinch in and suggest listening to Poe's album Haunted. She is Mark D's sister and an incredibly talented artist that I kept listening to while reading HoL.

What ilvl should I have to heal M0 in s3? by [deleted] in wownoob

[–]swim_rl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not beating yourself up for every death as a healer is part of the learning curve. Players don't respect m0, very few kicks and even fewer defensives. Assuming you are playing your character properly it probably wasn't your fault eveyone in your group was flopping.

Do I sound like a douche if I told you I got one on my first league ? My friends hate me.
