    The Game Awards 2020

    FIrst of @Lanx You cannot turn them off (you are thinking of Dispatch), just increase the timing windows a small bit. And @Noodleface Git Gud is not the issue, as someone who has burned through every single Souls game. Its not that I can't do the timing windows, it is that I don't want a turn...

    The Game Awards 2020

    I personally avoided it until very recently for this exact reason. For the most part, the combat is fun but I really hate QTEs especially in my old age. That and all the end game balance seems to revolve around either being able to perfect parry for literally over an hour or around one shot...

    Your ratio is impressive, for sure. But nothing compares to the sheer volume of work that the Putin agent has put in when it comes to shitting things up and riding the fine line to Rickshawland. He has gotten a lot of people who should know better to engage with his trolling over the years...

    No starvation takes longer. But the complete dietary shift for those eating healthy food (even us fatties) and process corn suryp is a system shock. This is especially true if you are being physically active in the fasting time frame, like say reconfiguring your entire food infrastructure to...

    Have you given any consideration to finding some other nerd activity you both like that could involve other people? Like a board game or TTRPG night? Or maybe a good old fashioned movie night?

    Pluribus

    This all assumes that all life in the universe is governed by nucleotide RNA sequences (which there are strong arguments for that I won't shit up the thread with) and they can locate another life bearing world (which we are getting pretty close to that in the modern world). But if we want to...

    It got the "Modern Audiences" adjustment, which is all it took to sink this on its own. Del Toro has flirted with that shit (I am a misunderstood unique snowflake subversive) bullshit forever, especially in anything from Hellboy 2 onward. His unique cinematography and strong casts have carried...

    If their strategic interests allowed them to end life in selective situations, they would have deleted the last 11 dipshits who ended up immune...... unless they are worried about the idea of other immunes popping up in future generations of pod people, in which case they may be hanging on to...

    I think it is pretty clear they are doing a big population cull in the background somewhere. They literally do not give a fuck about the well being of any individual hive members, outside of playing pretend with the immunes. Note they never said they could not kill themselves and we have seen...

    So just to clarify, does this mean the brief one liners after individual votes are off limits too? Because we have been doing that since this whole thing started? Does Cad think he is the NFL commissioner policing touchdowns now?

    No matter what a startup ever promises, they never make good on it. And worse if it does manage to somehow get legs, they will screw you out of any payout you would be getting anyhow. If you were still unmarried and without kids and hated your current gig, sure roll the dice. But in your...

    Start planning your exit. Not only are they replacing competent people with Poos, but they are also putting them in a customer facing role. That will kill your company relationship with your partners. Poos are terrible at everything, but they are exceptionally bad at customer service.

    This. Once they buy off all the local pols, they will essentially be at the front of the line for water and power. Expect both of those bills to triple within a years time. They won't do anything for the local economy, since what few physical humans they have that work there will be mostly...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah they seriously need to scale back the amount of fucking XP you get in this game in relation to JP. I have played the older versions many, many times and I don't remember it being this bad. With nearly zero dedicated grinds (I just never ran from random encounters and only prolonged them...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Monk Ramza, as mentioned, is probably the fastest path to being OP. Once you get him dual wield and are done Brave boosting, there is literally no reason to be anything else, although you could easily work him up as a part time Math magic guy too for utility. Dual Weild with sword Razma cannot...

    I will give you credit Foraskin, you lasted a lot longer before getting Rickshawed than I thought and sucking Neocon Dick over Ukraine was not my bingo card of what you would get nuked for. But eventually we all get to the end of our journey. Welcome home, little buddy.

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Brawling damage is based on the character's bravery which can be soft capped up for anyone up to 97 as early as chapter two. The main issue with Ninjas is that their defense is dogshit and their hit points even worse. A character who levels up primarily as a Monk will have a lot of HP and do...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Teleporting is a reliable five move maneuver if you soft cap bravery on a character. The issue is that fly at the monk base move of four (or ignore height) is vastly cheaper and not prone to failure. Upping the cost to 3k was just silly. Plus you end up stuck in Time Mage for a bunch of level...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah I get that. I have gone in for the ability that divides the damage in half, because so much of the late game shit one shots anyone who is not a fully decked out plate user. But normally I avoid it entirely, because grinding mages up is boring as hell and you are going to do that if you...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah the Ninja class design has always been terrible in this game, from the sense that you basically only ever want to get dual wield because while leveling in it pumps attack and speed, your defenses and hit points really take a dump if you spend any amount of time in the class. Calculators...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    The issue that sets him back is that there is a short window of having his shot abilities where they are better than alternatives and guns are basically dogshit in this version. If your healing strat is centered around Chemist, then you can get more mileage out of him, but realistically nailing...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah she is on a whole other level than even Orlandu and its not very hard to get there. Gtind up Dual wield and make her a Monk and you are basically done. Only Monk Ramza was doing more damage than her when I got to the end and she had the most HP in the party as a nearly naked Monk. She...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    I think thats a fair take, but I would point out that basically that if you can kill something that its better than disabling it. Agrias dropping Holy Blade arts, especialyl later in the game, pretty much obliterates most enemies whether you grinded her up in other classes or not. In fact, you...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Twins are hot garbage. Agrias is not, especially if you give her Orlando's sword when you get him (he does not need it to be godlike)., mostly because she progresses strongly as both a mage AND a fighter fairly equally. And her Holy Sword skill set makes her consistently useful. Set her up as...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Midnight Deep is usually pretty easy once you get to it, if you bothered to duild up Beowolf at all. His Chicken ability makes the searching (and grinding JP) fairly trivial. The only hard part about it is the last battle if you are trying to jump through the bullshit to learn Zodiarc

    The other issue is trying to do the whole multiverse thing that has been played out for years, especially in comics related media. I mean even DC did it with the WB Crisis of Infinite Derps crossover series, complete with even an Earth X crossover arc. Such a shame, given all the potential...
