    Oh yea, and his 4th attack on the sword/board combo becomes a massive AOE tail swipe. It must be dodged unless you are more than half a screen away.

    Crucible knights are honestly all about learning the move set. He has the sword/shield four slash combination that you can hit after the fourth slash, he has sword/shield lunge that he uses when you are out of range and trying to heal (when you get out of range don't try to heal immediately...

    It's crazy; in Oklahoma my wife and I started by managing our first two properties ourselves. These were 3/1 @ 1000 sqft and in a middling part of the town. We had a deadbeat tenet in the second year that we were able to evict simply by looking up and following the 5 steps online. It was...

    This right here is how we get back to a true 2008 housing crisis bubble. I don't care for 2 reasons: 1.) In 2006 and 2007 people were getting banks to finance investment properties at 100% LTV as long as they had a good repayment history. 2.) Even if you don't have the investment P&L's to...

    Destructive tenants almost do not exist once you get into middle class renters. If they value their jobs or credit scores a huge unpaid damages bill that either goes to small claims court or put on their credit report is akin to financial suicide. If you are really scared then only rent to a...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    It has to be a multiverse thing because the only other person worthy of the hammer was Cap and Jane's character has never focused on how upright and moral she is. That, or she scienced a way to reforge the hammer and pick it up.

    Yeah, we certainly wouldn't want things such as "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," "turn the other cheek," ""judge not lest ye be judged," and "forgive your brother his trespasses seventy times seven" seeping into our perfect culture.

    It's Taika Waititi, you know it is going to be more on the funny/lighthearted side than anything else. He will sprinkle in some subtly heavy character moments and then it will be back to funny. It's going to feel like a sequel to Ragnarok and that isn't a bad thing. Don't expect this to break...

    You're not wrong. His nose, voice, and demeanor are all exactly like Adam Driver. It sucks that this got canceled. The first few episodes of this were as creepy and disturbing as I've ever seen on TV.

    Yeah, this is what a high school around me is going to look like. There are a ton of first/second generation kids in the AA and Asian categories. The "economically disadvantaged" kids must come from apartment complexes since there are no economically challenged neighborhoods in this school's zone.

    Well you're not going to like Houston compared to FL because there is no good coast line like Gold or Space Coast. You could look at Galveston but it is definitely not the same. Houston is a huge commuter city that is the most racially diverse city in the United States but also home to the old...

    Look at this Dallas snob. The second you get outside of Houston proper the county is purple and every mile out you go from there it gets more red. @Sanrith Descartes you would probably want to look at The Woodlands or Cinco Ranch (Katy) as your destinations. Both are nice but it really comes...

    Then the North Texas burbs are not a place to look at a starter house. At those prices it would be more attractive to switch jobs, make less, and move to a new city/state but pay less in housing than to bite the bullet and overpay for a house that comes with problems (and all 20 year old houses...

    It is hard to blame @Tmac for not saving aggressively during those years unless he comes back and tells us that his parents and family hounded him to do it and he ignored them. I say this coming from a lower-middle class (half the time upper-lower class) family/neighborhood where exactly 0 of...

    If the developer was smart they were talking with the city/county to see what sort of changes they could get made to the schools to attract more buyers. It is a weird chicken-egg scenario as the more people buy in that attractive part the better the school will get as more active parents get...

    Maybe all of this will have people rethinking that they need 4000 square feet for a family of 3. A 'starter house' should be 2 or 3 bed and 2 baths at the most but there are none of those being built anymore. The current idea of a starter house being 4 bed 3 bath and an extra room...

    It is because they are mostly a company of mediocre (at best) individuals and that level of talent cannot develop or balance something as complex as a skill tree.

    It is just a gigantic game, and most of the fun is seeing something and trying to get to it instead of just having a fucking waypoint and not bothering to stop on the way. It was truly a joy to complete.

    The problem with Waterfowl Dance is twofold: 1.) The first flurry is the most damaging and also the hardest to dodge since she can start it when you are quite close or (often in my case) mid jump or swing. It is uninterruptable, you have to be moving away from her right when she starts or...

    Finished this morning. I played the whole game as a STR Colossal 2 hander only and it worked exceedingly well.... up until Haligtree. After pounding my head against Melania for 2 1/2 days and over 50 attempts I broke down and used my first spirit summoning (Mimic) and beat her first try. The...

    First try of the day on Melania. Roll the wrong way on her first combo and she heals to full. Stand still for reset. Edit. I broke down and used the Mimic Tear for the first time ever. I went and got it to +10 and one shot her. I feel like a failure.

    Of course you're right. However, for the first time in something like 120 hours of playing this game I am not having fun. I concede that I could just get better and be perfect and that she is an optional hidden boss and is supposed to be hard. I still said the game is 10/10. That doesn't...

    Bro, fuck this fight. I cannot even get her past 50%. For some reason this fight is just fuck starting me. Even when I have a good run her water dancer shit either kills me or heals her to full. Infuriating.

    Milenia steals back health. What fucking trash. I am still rating this game 10/10 and this is, admittedly, a secret area boss; but that just seems like cheese and not good design.
