#Gaming Advice

[cyanomys]

Hey TTRPG nerds

Anybody got recommendations for indie ttrpg youtubers? I'm looking for content that is broadly not D&D-specific, and not actual plays. So, video essays/reviews of games, how-to-plays, GMing/playing advice, game design, etc.

For all the many, many things I love about Hades-

I absolutely,

with the entirety of my heart,

despise Thanatos.

He only spawns when I'm either on a grinding run or have my bow (aka not doing dmg quickly), and when he does I somehow always get stuck in a wall.

And even if I didn't. It doesn't matter how many enemies I can destroy with one hit, because he'll always have more.

I've tried all advice I've found online, and tried, and tried, and tried, but he's just fucking impossible.

I've been playing for two goddamn years.

This is just ridiculous. To a point where I don't care how good a run is going, if he shows up, I quit. Because I don't constantly want to be reminded that I'll apparently always suck at this game.

So if anybody has any tips out there, feel free to share because I'm at my wits end. Seriously. It's not fun anymore.

I started playing fro the other day and feel into a bit of a thing about it, but I need some advice bc I’m consistently placing 5th or 6th with decent outfits that are on theme. Am I missing something here? Is there like a success recipe for dress to impress? Idk I just need help 😭

‼️FALLOUT 4 PLAYERS‼️

my sister and I are doing our first ever run of the game, does anyone have tips or tricks on how to not be so sucks?

Okay I hate to admit this but I’m struggling with my faith/dex character. I’m on NG+3 or 4 now with her, and every major boss fight is such an ordeal

Faith is 75 with erdtree seal +10, dex is 85 (90 with talisman) and I use hand of malenia +10, elonara’s poleblade +10, and hoslows whip +10 when I need strike damage. Mind is 45 or something, health 55

Main incantations are the lightning strike (the single yellow one like a spear), black flame, destined death/malikeths blade, magic dragon breath, and golden vow

Talismans are takers cameo, Millicents prosthesis, erdtree favor +2, and flock’s canvas

Anyone have any advice?

Help?

So I finally finished Amnesia: Memories, and I played Amnesia: Later. I got this far, and couldn't unlock this cg. I couldn't find a guide for this cg. I couldn't find an upload of this cg. I thought maybe it unlocks after Crowd. I just finished Amnesia: Crowd, and it still hasn't unlocked.

Does anyone know how to unlock this???? Or even just what it is.

Some advice

In Act 4 do you guys generally go talk to Calcazar on Footfall first or go do Heinrix’s quest and see what Emilina’s up to? I’ve already finished Abelard’s quest and now I’m on my way to Quetza Temer but I’d like to know what to do afterwards.

Soooo ....I bought ELDEN RING!

And ...I'm a Fromsoft Rookie, so any sort of advice on builds, how to level, tips and tricks, ...would be appreciated. I'm planning on re-watching Jacksepticeye's playthrough of ELDEN RING again as well, so I can get some pointers from the Master ...or rather, the One True Irish Elden Lord, OTIEL.

What type of build would be fun for a rookie first-timer such as myself?

I'll also take bets on how long it'll take before I completely lose my sanity playing this.

(Base Game) Slime Ranching Advice

This is in no particular order, just written as I think of things.

The first 'room' in the dry reef has a secret area to the left that you can access with a bit of skyrim horsing or a jetpack. There you will find your main early source of naturally spawning heart beets. It takes quite a bit of finangling to get back without a jetpack, but it's possible and worthwhile.

Don't use a corral with a solar shield for ranching phosphor slimes. Instead, simply free-range them inside the grotto expansion to the right (relative to your hut) of the ranch, with fruit trees (preferably cubeberries) growing in the plots. You will inevitably lose some plorts to despawning without drones (or even with if you have enough slimes), but it's still pretty worthwhile to me.

In a similar vein to the last tip, don't keep quantum slimes in a corral whatsoever. You can largo them with phosphor slimes and keep them in the grotto (though I don't recommend this(see the fourth tip)), or you can keep them in the overgrowth.

I don't recommend largo-ing two slime types that eat fruit or veggies. Instead, largo them with meat-eating slimes so that you can feed them more readily available food and still get the meat-eating slime's plorts.

If playing on casual mode, digitarr don't spawn in the slimeulation, so feel free to linger as long as you want to capture a full vacpack slot of glitch slimes.

Speaking of glitch slimes, their fruit tree disguises are always unharvestable pogofruit trees (though they sometimes grow cubeberries). If an object (mushroom, slime statue, one of those glowy pink plants in the moss blanket, rock, crystal) isn't there in the overworld that quivers occasionally, it's a pack glitch slimes. Spray it with debug spray to reveal them.

Conserve debug spray. Don't use it to reveal glitch slimes in slime disguise, only to pull object-disguised glitch slimes out of their disguises or to combat digitarr.

Returning to the real world, if you want maximum efficiency, apiaries should only be placed in the glass desert or moss blanket, as they are the two areas that have special apiary resources.

Similarly to tip 8, for maximum efficiency, only place pumps in the glass desert or the dry reef, for the same reasons as before.

Just as with the two previous tips, when maximizing efficiency, drills should be placed in either the indigo quarry or -once again- the glass desert. (Damn the glass desert has so many unique resources. Probably comes with being the final game area.)

Puddle slimes should only be kept in the pool at the docks, as it has more space for puddle slimes and comes with a free rubber ducky.

Keep a corral of pink slimes/pink largos in the plots at the lab, as their plorts are necessary for most gadgets.

Try and avoid crossing from the dry reef to the moss blanket during the night, as the feral phosphor largos there don't spawn during daylight.

Ignihyde Chapter Advice

I’ve noticed there are a lot of ENG players struggling, so I’m going to provide a small tidbit of advice. In the Ignihyde Chapter, it’s more vital than ever to pay attention to Spell Elements. A lot of chapters will require you to pay attention to the Elements the enemies will have when setting up your team and the order of the appearance of the Elements in combat on the left-hand side of the screen. This go around, these are NOT suggestions. You either get the upper hand/break even with same element vs same element or you WILL lose. 

And Auto Battle will NOT be your friend in the Ignihyde Chapter. You WILL have to use your brain and take note of elemental attack patterns to come out on top. And for endurance battles, ALWAYS go for a team of High HP cards because going for taking them out via HP is hardly viable unless you have some VERY good cards. As someone who has played both the JP and ENG versions of this chapter set release now, I want to help make this as easy for players to get through as possible. Please note it may take you several tries to pick up the pattern, but you WILL get it.  (And please make sure you have one of EACH of the different characters up to at LEAST Lv 40 and with both spell slots at at least Lv 5 or you will SUFFER with the later gimmicks with the near-end of story boss battles! The card soft locking will give you trouble if you neglect the spell slots ESPECIALLY! Thankfully the characters you need to worry about are only the ones actively involved in the plot line, like the OB Squad and the Rescue Committee.) Good luck and may you get through Idia’s nonsense quickly!

Here's a lil something:

If you want to play Twilight Princess HD and have a challenge, play Hero Mode... but with the Ganondorf Amiibo.

You'll take a shit ton of damage and you can only heal with potions, fairies and by standing in a Light Spirit's divine water.

HOWEVER, if you want to keep your sanity, I suggest you do the Kakariko insects without the Amiibo. So no blue hearts (like here)

because you'll only have 4, and once you have to collect the insects in the lil bomb-shack you WILL get killed by ONE explosion. So Game Over, which means you'll have to collect all the previous insects AGAIN.

ED:tG Survivor Tips and Warnings

Since Evil Dead the Game has come to Steam, I've been seeing a lot of new players. And, I love new players but... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, we need to talk about a few things.

I am level 555 in game and here are some tips and tricks to keep your veteran teammates from wanting to fuckin' murder you!

Tip/Warning Number 1!: Do. NOT. shoot before the demon finds you! At the start of game, the demon has no idea where you are. While you are getting the map, do not shoot. The demon can hear literally every ranged weapon and will come find you. They will chase you down and gut you. If you shoot, your teammates are highly likely to run away from you because they want to get as far away from that spot as they can before the demon shows up. So you will most like be alone or left to die.

Tip/Warning 2: Unless you're on mic and have planned it with your teammates ahead of time, do not get in a fuckin' car during the map phase! Demons can see you driving the car and will hunt you down. It's a great way to call the demon to you and get your whole team murdered.

Tip 3: If you are playing Pablo, drink sodas around your teammates for fuck's sake! Pablo has just as much ability to heal the team as any other support (except Cheryl, she heals far more). Shielding is very good but you also need to heal. Especially if there's a Ruby on your team! Because Ruby cannot have shields and need to be healed more.

Tip 4: If you are fighting Eligos and you are a Hunter (the Ranged characters: ED2 Ash, Ed Getly, Amanda, Kelly), do not take a crossbow unless you're really good with it. I don't care what color it is. The aim on them is kinda wonky and the reload is slow. Berserkers are very wiggly, this makes them extremely hard to hit with a crossbow.

Tip 5: Take blunt weapons against Eligos! At the book, you want to be able to stun the possessed elites because they melt the book very quickly. Also, even Hunters need to get up to the book and melee the deadites there in the last 30 seconds to stun enemies as fast as possible so the book doesn't die.

Tip 6: If you have a healer/support (ED1 Ash, Cheryl, Pablo, David, Blacksmith) on your team, make sure to supply them with sodas and amulets so they can keep you in the fight!

Tip 7: If you're a support, don't take any legendary weapons unless the fighters don't want them. Yes, you do reduced damage but you taking the gold weapon is just going to get the team killed.

Tip 8: If you are a Warrior (AoD Ash, Henry, Scotty, Mia), don't fuckin' shoot unless you're de-possessing someone. You have severely reduced ranged weapon damage, meaning guns are useless on you and you'll just end up taking more damage then if you just meleed the deadite. Make sure colored guns go to the hunter or Annie (if you have one).

Tip 9: If you are playing support, do not open chests around Objectives or in places where the demon has been. If there are tiny Ashes inside, they have a high chance of taking your sodas and amulets. Just mark the chests so you teammates can open them for you.

Tip 10: If you're a support and you're fighting a high level Evil Ash, he has a perk that stops healing. If one of your teammates gets slashed with his sword, they will be unable to be healed for several seconds. So, if you drink during that time, you will be wasting a soda! Keep lots of amulets on you for boss fights so you can amulet and protect your teammates while they kill Evil Ash.

Final Tip/Warning: This tip is extremely important! When you are in the Dark One's phase, you need to stick by your Support. Do not run around the dark ones. Just by the support and kill the dark ones. You take a lot of damage during this phase and if you're not close to your team, your support will waste multiple sodas to heal the team that's spread out. This leaves them with no supplies for the book stage. So, stay in a teammate cluster when fighting dark ones. your healer will appreciate it!

-

Now. Go have fun and murder some fuckin' deadites!

Love you all, little wraithlings! ❤️

SO!!!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to beat

Cookie Run Kingdom chapter 18-30

I have tried so many combos but I just can’t get it.

Here are my cookies and levels I have.

Any suggestions would help.

[drinkinboilingcoffee]

I dunno who needs to hear this, but don’t play the ‘take the pills’ ending of My Eyes Deceive first. That’s the bad ending- you want the ‘don’t take the pills’ one (the ‘good’ ending) first so it’s put into perspective how much your choice affected the MC. Furthermore, that’s not what the storytelling intended. If you get the good ending first, the story is better explained- the twist of the bad ending feels less out of the blue. In the good ending, you get hints and implications that start to signal what’s really going on, that leads to a sense of discomfort the game doesn’t really confirm nor deny. The bad ending’s job is to confirm it. The bad ending shows you that ‘yes, you’re right, this is exactly as fucked up as you think, and it can be even worse.’ If you do the good ending first, THEN the bad one after, the storytelling is so much better paced, so much more gut-wrenching to the viewer. Please, suffer through this story the right way.
