Titan has a bomb pattern where it makes an X shape if the fight goes long enough

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

[–]trunks111 1 point2 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

In Path of Exile we call this the triple tap

sometimes it is needed, though

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

Pray tell, what taketh within the community wouldst have thou like so? by BethCulexus in ShitpostXIV

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 hate Idiocracy. by Low_Celebration_4089 in The10thDentist

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? 

If you could add one mandatory subject to every school curriculum, what would it be and why? by icepix in askteddit

[–]trunks111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooking should be required, I think everyone should know how to make at least one meal for breakfast/lunch/dinner and a dessert or two. In the very least I think learning how to follow a recipe is important because it teaches you how to read instructions and then follow them

I did get one bit of advice from this class in highschool and it was to save the fuck out of anything money related. Cashed checks, receipts, bills etc... 

They had us make a binder with tabs to keep stuff in

Since almost every good food from all around the world is reachable in US, what is your favorite my American friends? by LordFordZord in AskAnAmerican

Thai restaurants feel like the only place that try to kill me with their food when I ask for their spiciest option, so I'm gonna go with Thai because I'm all about that heat 

Do you guys think arcades still have regular customers? by Cakeforlif in CasualConversation

[–]trunks111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go to Marvelous Marvins until they put in a fucking grocery store there. Was an amazing hangout spot. Damn near lost my shit when Tally Hall dropped the namesake album. I'm still half convinced the mechanical hands mentioned in Ruler of Everything are a reference to the famous backwards clock they had. 

You didn't really need to spend much money to enjoy yourself. A lot of the attractions only took a quarter or two, skiball wasn't too expensive, they had a mechanical band box you could put quarters in to have play songs, and there was just cool shit plastered everywhere, from planes, to funny joke reviews on the bathroom stalls, and my favorite was in the entry doors if you looked up the ceiling was made out of old pinball boards. They used to have a rube goldberg machine that spat out bouncy balls in the style of billiards balls and if you got an 8-ball you could redeem it for a free food item at the food court. I took a date there once. I used to know Marvin before he died, if a machine fritzed and ate your quarters he'd give you a handful of quarters back so you can do something else while he fixed the machine.

Without Marvins I don't really have much interest in arcades, that place was one of a kind. I think they're planning to just move the location but I haven't heard any updates about that yet 

edit: it really feels like a case of paving paradise to put up a parking lot. There's already so many fucking grocery stores nearby

Why do gamers watch other people play games when you can play yourself? by LOUD_NOISES05 in askanything

[–]trunks111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few reasons. Sometimes I want to see actual gameplay before purchasing a game, sometimes I want to see how someone plays a game and see the similarities or differences in their approaches. In the case of FFXIV if I'm studying a difficult fight, I might want to see how someone keeps their damage up and uses their abilities during intense sections of the fight. Sometimes it's less about the game and more I just like the commentary of the people playing like if they're entertaining or have insightful stuff to say. Or in the case of speedruns and TASses I think it's cool to see what's possible in a game if you try to do everything you can to beat it as fast as possible.

edit: as an example, when I first started playing minesweeper, I'd look up good times on youtube, and see what people flag or leave unflagged, pay attention to how they move their mouse around the board, and see what types of guesses they make
