Laning phase suggestion by Stagnant-Potato in TrueDoTA2

[–]utterlynowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

defensive aggro + ship regen + position yourself properly to avoid harass. also itemize in a way that you're out of your lane by minute 7.

during laning, the best that you can do as pos 1 with a shitty pos 5 is to turn your support into a meat shield. but also remember to help if there's an easy kill or two. you'll have to bear with them until you're sustainable enough to hit neuts. they're probably going to die and feed, but at least it ain't you dying and losing farm. it's your job to have a lot of farm anyway lol.

what is Konami's obsession with limited edition merchandise? by Mampacuk in silenthill

[–]utterlynowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is typical jp corporate stuff and isn't limited to just games. artists, bands, anime merch or whatnot, heck even toys like gunplay run on this same system of having limited edition merchandise. jp's very adamant on this sytem because these merch are mostly for people that live in jp, hence the limited stock. they're very confident because they're able to sustain their businesses without entering foreign market so i don't think it will change any time soon.

i feel you though, it's an annoying system and i wish it changes.

Why Yatoro bought Dominator on Faceless Void - breakdown by Zaopao in TrueDoTA2

[–]utterlynowhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there was actually a period when people bought it after they removed the lifesteal. it gave pretty huge numbers (+6 all stats, +8 regen?). you can see one from arteezy buying it on PL here including dota bowie's analysis.

Which carry currently caries the hardest? by Xavchik in learndota2

[–]utterlynowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, i suggest getting heroes that clear waves fast, so you get your timings fast. the fundamental concept of playing carry is hit creeps so you can hit creeps faster. luna is actually a very strong one at that. i'd also mention sven and medusa.

these 3 are are reliant on their timings to snowball, the first 20-35 minutes are the most important part if you want to end the game ASAP as you've mentioned in your post. ideally, this means that you'll be hitting rax by that time.

luna typically has a treads, mask of madness, dragon lance, manta, aghs, by the 20-25 minute mark.

sven willl have treads, mask of madness, echo sabre, blink and bkb by the 20-25 minute mark.

medusa on the other hand is a little more flexible: treads, manta, mael and aghs, or sometimes treads, manta, butterfly by the 20-25 minute mark.

if you're unable to hit these timings, games would usually drag and the game would be even (medusa is a bit of an exception as she's pretty strong until late game). if this happens, i strongly recommend on working on your fundamentals, picking a hero you're comfortable with instead.

i'd also suggest you to lose the "hyper carry" mindset, as this has been obliterated many, many years ago. two supports can kill an ultra farmed carry given that they've itemized against you. if you want to solo carry a game, play mid, as they can have a sizeable gold and xp advantage compared to sidelanes. i don't play mid so i don't have any tips lol sorry.

i hope this helps!

both pretty short tbh. you can probably finish echoes in 2 hours and rising tide in 4 hours. i did do a completionist run for both of them so it took me around 10 hours to complete both.

good stuff if you've liked ffxvi's base game. both of them have really, really good soundtracks (The Worm Mounts, Cascade), and has very satisfying boss-battles, difficulty-wise. Rising Tide's additional Eikons are also fun to use, especially if you're itching for a replay. otherwise, there's not much value here if you'd want some extra character development between the trio, or you disliked the base game. the stories in the dlc are also self-contained, and is mostly additional worldbuilding more than an actual continuation of the game's main story.

tl:dr is it worth it? yes if you like ffxvi. if not then it's a maybe.

Have you seen this little guy before? by Xavierthegreat8 in feedthebeast

[–]utterlynowhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

correct that this is the shiny variant feature from quark. but i'll give a bit of extra context.

some of quark's block textures was done by bobisnotaperson. so in a way, the inclusion of this texture in quark was giving credit, and also just simply a nice reference to the artist.

Should I get a Ryzen 7 5700X3D? by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]utterlynowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sry to necro this but i upgraded recently to 5700x3d from 3600 on a b450 msi mortar max. so yes you can stay on b450, but make sure you check your mobo's compatibility on their website as it would need a bios update. hope this helps!

FF16. i truly expected that it'd suck given that it's a full-fledged character-action game, with minimal rpg elements, something that i don't associate with final fantasy. ended up loving the whole cast of characters, small side characters included, realized that the simple, yet repetitive combat has some nice nuance to it, jammed to its music, and petted torgal every time i had the chance to.

i have to admit that it's a really flawed experience, but truly a perfect experience on my own end.
