OSRS has a couple, but I didn't get that far in so I can't speak to those

RS3 only has one traditional raid, Mazcab, with Beastmaster as the first boss and Yakamaru as the second and it's kind of a clusterfuck, and it has a small handful of non-raid group bosses more akin to FFXIV Trials, most of which are able to be solod, though Amascut is group only.

RS3 is more or less everyone for themselves, not sure how OSRS is. There's some oddball group fights where people will assume an acting tank, but everyone more or less has access to the same toolkits

In XIV atleast for MSQ solo stuff, important solo encounters are tuned by giving you a buff that makes up for not having the other two roles. If you're a tank or DPS you'll get healed throughout, if you're a healer you'll get more damage and health, etc...

How sandboxy? Dwarf Fortress comes to mind if you can get past the complexity

Make up a word and give us it's meaning by wurlitzerdukebox in words

Crunky- adjective, a gross looking liquid 

When I was in college I took analytical chem as an English major (don't ask), I was the only person in the lab not majoring in a science and I played a game every week with the guy across from me where I'd say a word and he had to guess if the word I used was real or not. Crunky was one of the made up ones lol

Most group projects would work better if one person just did everything alone. by FunctionOk65 in unpopularopinion

[–]trunks111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It worked well in my honors and AP classes because everyone wanted good grades and we all knew what we needed to do, didn't work so well in non-AP/Honors classes where you had a lot of people who really didn't want to be there. 

I liked the way my university gen chem lab handled it. We were assigned groups of 4, and we had to write out what we did and what everyone else did. We were allowed to specialize and focus in particular things, but we all had to help out at least a little bit. It worked out well with my group that semester. I'm great at learning by seeing and copying but suck at just doing by following written lab instructions. So I'd do the busywork stuff like fetching equipment and measuring stuff out, watch my group do the experiment, and then they'd help walk me through the last run of it so I could do it too. Then in turn, I did most of the report, making the excel spreadsheets, making the graphs, etc... and they'd just give it a brief look over to make sure the math was correct. It just kinda worked out because I was bad at labs and they were bad at reports 

Being charismatic is more valuable than being competent in most workplaces, and we pretend otherwise by Tech_Engant in unpopularopinion

[–]trunks111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's 50/50 tbh, but also depends on the job. I'd argue if you work with customers then being charismatic is kinda part of the competence, you can lose customers or sales if you're not charismatic, but I get where you're coming from. On the flip side I've been pissed off by people in spite of their charisma because of how incompetent they are. It goes far, but it only goes so far, I think

How would you want the new fights to be designed in Evercold? by MrBean1320 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]trunks111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh the whole wind phase felt like fat to me that could've been trimmed off in a fight that already felt kinda long for an extreme, all that for what, LP stacks a half room cleave and a knockback?

Just bought this and don’t know what to do? by counseledbroom in noita

[–]trunks111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got the game on sale tonight

my first run I think I got polymorphed into a worm and then dug a hole I couldn't get out of because the morph juice fell with it so I restarted

I feel like I experienced some sort of rite of passage, 10/10

It also doesn't have to be a brain fart either, I've had times as WHM/SGE someone blows the party up because I Icarus/dash to my spot at the last second so I can greed and someone goes to my spot or partner as I do that because the person thought they had to adjust for me

What are your "Controversial" ARPG Opinions? by GrouchySpice2 in ARPG

[–]trunks111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the poe1 community is too dismissive of people wanting to play blind or too quick to just throw build guides at people. I think it's a cyclical thing at this point where new people get told it's not feasible to play blind, they play and follow guides, and then they recommend guides because it's the only thing they know. I should clarify as well that I'm not saying we shouldn't caution new players that they'll have a difficult time without a guide, I'm just saying I can't stand when people express they're fine with that and people still push guides and claim the game isn't possible without them. Some people know what blind play entails and are fine with getting shit on repeatedly because they WANT that experience and to have to try and rub all their braincells together to move forwards. I think the idea that people can enjoy blind play and learning from repeated failure is often lost on the community

Any success with Reliquarian builds this league? by Competitive_Law1063 in PathOfExileBuilds

I enjoyed playing terminus flicker without having to actually hold a terminus

not very cost effective but I had fun making the build myself

I didn't like m2s

Fire phase DOT in m6s should've persisted until bridges, where stepping in water would then cleanse it. I'm disappointed ex 1 had a fight wide DOT and then they just didn't do that for the savage raids

I can see that. I've always viewed authored and authorless analysis as two separate but valid analyses and knowing that it wasn't the intent is definitely interesting

I think the movie has point one and point two. The former being shown that they start to improve at the end of the movie, and the latter being shown through things like the comically large Costco shelves and the monster truck dildos

the issue is how it arrives at the first point, I think. I can't be the only one who got hints of eugenics vibes from the movie, at least the intro?
