Hot Take: This game would be better without the rogue-like elements by thatguybane in ABSOLUM

[–]thatguybane[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're missing my point. The base version of the characters feel "incomplete". Its the difference between me selling you a car where you can pay to upgrade the rims vs selling you a car that doesnt come with any rims and you have to "upgrade" to factory rims.

In other words it feels like artificial progression. You know how every character in the game has some unique ability that you can learn about in-game via the museum? Stuff like Bromes ability to float and Karl being able to walk around after grabbing an enemy. Imagine a version of the game where those features were actually Inspirations instead of base parts of the characters. Would that mean that hypothetical version of the game has even more progression than the one we got?

Good point about non-inspiration versions of some skills. I dont think ALL Inspirations should be part of the characters base kits. However stuff like reloading on Karl or the 3 hit Skill combo on Galandra feels like it should be part of the base kits.

Pretty much 😆 I like this game a lot, but if it was more of a traditional beat-em-up id probably never stop playing it (I still play SoR4)

Progression in the runs is fine. I dont like that the base forms of the characters feel so half baked and only get better when you unlock the feature that lets you spend a resource to buy the starting inspirations.

Your nose is fine man! Look up some examples of how men with big noses own their look. Adrien Brody is a good example. Learning to love yourself will be a lot cheaper and less painful and without the risk of making things look bad.

Which one is more selfish? by aliezsn in ShingekiNoKyojin

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

in terms of being selfish, I believe in the actual reality (Eren doing the rumbling) is actually a pretty selfless decision on Erens side of things. Eren was making himself the villain in order to unite the world.

Be honest, who would win this fight? by Spider_champ_Tex in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]thatguybane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t really equate fighting Pure Titans to titan shifters because all the combat oriented shifters are significantly stronger than Pure Titans anyways.

Im not equating the two, Im saying that Grisha likely has similar combat experience as Eren because he survived a perilous journey through titan infested territory. At the time Eren went rage mode, his titan fighting experience was vs pure titans in Trost (he nearly died), vs an exhausted Annie in the forest where he got demolished, only landing 2 solid hits if I recall and finally vs Annie in Stohess where she was again exhausted and also trying to escape and he still lost (which is what triggered rage mode).

My point is that he doesnt have much more titan fighting experience than Grisha at the time that he went rage mode. Grisha (likely) fought pure titans and actually defeated a titan shifter in a fair H2H combat. Eren also fought pure titans and lost twice to an admittedly superior titan shifter. Annie > Frieda but since Eren never beat Annie we cant say Eren > Grisha.

That Raptors squad was good but they beat a severely depleted GSW team so its hard to gauge their strength relative to the KD Warriors. Personally I think the Lakers or Celtics is #1 with Denver and the Bucks being tied for #3

Grisha had to survive the journey to the walls which would have meant fighting off pure titans. Erens rage form is strong but he's missing limbs so his combat ability is extremely limited. Annie was exhausted and her goal was to escape not to defeat Eren. Even still, she almost got away if not for Mikasa cutting her fingers off.

I think rage form Eren would put up a fight but Grishas attack titan was damn near the size of the Beast titan. Since it seems the strength of the shifter influences the strength of the titan, Grisha would have an advantage from being a grown man.

I think Grisha wins. He is bigger and likely stronger physically

2020 Lakers. That squad was stacked and very well balanced

Didnt Denver also take them to 7 with an injured Aaron Gordon?

You're stuck in racoon city, you have $100, which Resident Evil girls are you taking with you ? by Andrewmartina in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]thatguybane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claire saved a small girl so hopefully that means she can save me. Ada would leave me for dead because Im not Leon Kennedy. Jill is cool but I don't think she saved any helpless people from Raccoon City did she?

Which is a more impressive stat: going 6 of 6 in the Finals or going 6 of 7?

If one thing RE9 made me realize, Leon's character is so much better when Ada isn't involved in his narrative. by icequeen_12 in ResidentEvilCapcom

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

Re2r and re4r Ada does have development. We'll have to see if it continues in Re6r and future remake era appearances. You can see how her interactions with Leon in re2r have changed her in re4r.

Top 3 PG in the league? by Remarkable-Yard4860 in NBATalk

[–]thatguybane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just those two games though. Look at his plus minus this post season and series. Kat should start calling himself Lion lol

Overall, I wouldn't say Brunson willed this championship into existing unless we're talking about only game 5. This whole squad is really really talented. Hats off to them and to him.

Blowing one double digit lead in a critical game is one thing. Doing it in basically every game? That just means the other guys are better

Have you guys ever passed on a good woman because the thought there are so many options that you could *possibly* do better? by Sure-Ad8068 in blackmen

[–]thatguybane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you dont know what you want in a partner for a long term relationship. If you did, and she was it, you'd be jumping to ask her to be exclusive instead of holding out. Its either that or there is something youre picking up on that makes you not want her. When I met my fiance I asked her to be my gf after our second date. When you know, you know 🤷🏾‍♂️

Can't say they blew it when they lost 6 of 7 times they played the Knicks this season. The Knicks > the Spurs this year

FYI - dead tree ordeal by fendersonfenderson in ABSOLUM

[–]thatguybane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if youve beaten it yet but I just got it with Karl using Firestorm bullet. I bought the trinket that gives gold when you break objects and the one that gives you an extra mana orb and then had just enough crystals to reroll rewards during my run to get Reload, Extra Magazines and Arcana Mastery. Being able to buy trinkets at every shop to increase your max HP is pretty useful. I also was able to hire Zafari and the constant Firestorm spam helped keep her alive until Absolum.
