Yeah, probably. I'm always too indifferent to getting flu shots so it's not uncommon for it to come around some years.

if ??? means she doesn't have it yet, uhhhhh CA Cap, Dark ATK * 2, Charge Bar, Skill Cap, and 1* in both def and maybe 1* hp or overdrive and then change that based on what her support turns out to be.
note that this is my bias and how I would do her EMPs
Rat I'm going to do Crit, CA Cap, probably Hostility, some def hp maybe, and then possibly her support since even though it's only 10% during her field, with my attack power that racks up. I've also got the benefit of being 99% sure I'm ringing Rat so I have even more EMP to work with
PANrela
i took the CA cap just because, and then one CA dmg emp support never
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
because I have extra points I might get dodge but dodge as an emp is pretty trash
support dodges on characters like ayer and stuff are decent though
PANrela
i mean she already gets dodge up when her field is up right? why bother if they dont stack well
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
she doesn't get like enough dodge to dodge literally everything unless she ougis. so if I want her to reliably eat every hit imaginable it's something to consider but again I have the wiggle room.
speaking of wiggle room, fucking Nier's emps are running out of good things Defense nodes are effectively worthless on her because she resists 90% of damage all the time.
PANrela
story of my life with ayer his emps suck
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I'm unironically putting points in her ATK nodes
PANrela
i briefly considered it on ayer
PANrela
my ayer has his crit, his earth atk, one in each double attack since he gets plenty of DA from passive, and 2 in each def
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
debuff resist is a thought
PANrela
i might grab ayer's debuff res maybe his emp support but he generally doesn't need that since alex well s.alex atk od is okay i guess but only in od so like

Koi
>>788630 :thinking: nah, I don't wanna turn it R-18
...unless....
Anno
I've got half a mind to drop the 08:00 class but I don't know what else to pick up. It's already a pretty work-intensive class that I'll probably be stuck doing something I'm fairly unmotivated to pursue, at a time of day I'll be absolutely mentally out of it. But it's also a class I need to do to pass my major and so far all chances of taking it have been pretty much roughly equally terrible. But I'm also on academic probation and I can't really afford to fuck up more.
I just feel stuck again in a situation where every choice feels like a bad one to pick.
Choux
>>788634 would it be better to take the class at a later time like maybe a different semester where its not super early
Anno
>>788635 It's a class I already failed once when it ran at nine in the morning, so yeah, maybe. Honestly though the "work-intensive" part is mostly stuff I do on my own time so I guess when it starts doesn't matter much. But it does mean for the work that is done during the class I'll be pretty much checked out of.
The other problem is this class seems to get the short end of the stick and these early-ass start times consistently? Like I've held off signing up for it in previous semesters since failing it because it was still an 08:00 or 09:00 start. The only reason it snuck up on me this semester was because I signed up for it before the class times were established.
Choux
Ah, so it really doesnt change time slots huh, that sucks. going from 8 to 9 isnt that much of a shift. though 9 is better is it always the same instructor?
Anno
Nah, which ... presents another problem. The course is one on research methods, and whoever's the instructor gets to decide a sorta niche category they want students to explore a thing of interest in. Like the last time I took it the instructor had us looking at WWII Canadian comics and we each had a specific comic issue we were to study. Another instructor has apparently consistently done old European fairy tales and I've been really hoping I could get them, but I don't think that's who's doing the course this semester. It's an instructor I've never heard of so who knows what they're gonna pick. Looking at their study background I'm not feeling hopeful it'll be something I'm excited to be researching though.
I just wish I could not be so fussy and just buckle down. Fighting against my own indifferent self is too hard.

Man having a remote would be real cool actually. I could put all the various brush/pen/action tools on it, instead of only being able to fit pen/pencil and eraser on my buttons.
Koi
Oh now I see, I have CSPs buttons set specifically for CSP K is for grabbing and moving a layer around
Anno
I just wanna snap between eraser and the g pen
Anno
I'd say map eraser to one of your pen buttons then. I have both of mine disabled because I'm a clumsy fuck who can't go two minutes without thumbing over one, but CSP will not perma switch to a tool if you press and hold its shortcut. So.you can just hold the pen button that's erase and maybe it would work? I know sometimes the pens are too dumb to have a button pressed and still draw at the same time but in that case you could probably just put your P shortcut on the other button.
Koi
>>788730 how many buttons you got and what are you using them for \

four on the tablet and two on the pen I probably want to go for undo/redo/pan+zoom/zoom out hmm

Drop the redo and put in space for moving the camera around, unless your physical set-up means your space key on the keyboard is in comfortable reach. Having that ease of moving around the canvas is amazing.

Koi
I need to get better at making clothes. the new diao ye zong album is fabulous as always
Anno
Well it's good to keep in mind that fabrics of all kinds have thickness and mass. They always rest atop the body and other things, and hang down where looseness and quantity permits.
So it's also important to know what the body looks like underneath the clothes in order to accurately draw them on top of it.
Koi
i feel like my issues start once I get to doing wrinkles where are things bending and folding and how which folds cast meaningful shadows am I draping things "upside down"
Anno
>Thickfabrics with mass!?
Koi
like I think I did a decent job with this one but it's just a t-shirt. Also I didn't give two fucks toward trying to apply the logo on the shirt to conform to the breasts and fabric movements It works alright without caring about that sometimes. But other times it stands out, like if she was a lot larger at the chest
Anno
oh yeah that would be hard that looks quite good though
Anno
>>788741 Well that's why knowing wha teh body looks like underneath is important. If they're busty it's naturally gonna create its own stretch on the fabric. Fabric will usually like to pool where there's concave areas for it to pool into. For a healthy weight this is usually going to be probably towards the center of the front-facing body, but having some paunch might result in there being different concave lines on the body as the stomach will naturally be sticking out.
I think women's shirts generally are a tighter fit too? But this is getting into style which is a bit of a digression.

Anno
so far he's talked about the french revolution modernising the french language seems like he's travelled a bit too oh and seems to know a bit about beer too just gave me his brew and some syrup
Anno
The modernization of the French language is probably more notable for a Quebeccois, yeah. Any changes to European French are likely not reflected in Quebec Francais, as by the time of the French Revolution and onwards, Quebec was pretty isolated from the culture of France. So the way they speak the language in Quebec is a bit of a snapshot of how the language was hundreds of years back, or at least since it didn't undergo the rigorous modernization of the France Revolution, closer to that time period than European French.

Apparently bakeries are more than happy to just give you a bit of their's if you're pleasant and maybe buy some of their bread. Which has the benefit of letting you see if you like the way their starter makes the bread taste.

yeah I hear most bakeries would give starter for free, and once you've got a bit you can keep making more pretty much forever gonna go deep into this bread hole

Anno
I think it's good to gauge it more as interest levels and passion than skill level. Your skill level will improve regardless of which hardware you use but if you think you're really interested in drawing a screen tablet is so much more fun to use, at least for me.
Also XP-Pen is pretty good at keeping competitive prices and their stuff goes on sale pretty often. If you're tempted but it's still a bit pricey for you it might be good to keep an eye on it.

yeah If anything, using the screen tablet makes you feel your skill level a lot more vividly

If you want a button to mash then mash the guard button. It's not a -great- way to get through the game but it can work.

I am really thinking of switching guard to square from f2 r2 I just need more game hours to memorise the buttons without thinking I keep thinking from like 20 other games where the guard button is when I am panicking and that fucks me over
I did find out you can riposte this guy with the shurikens tho
Anno
The shuriken tree is actually pretty versatile. It's rare it'll ever put out a lot of damage aside from specific encounters designed for it to be advantagous towards but it's still got good use. I think my favourite load-out was usually something like a Shuriken, an Umbrella, and then either Axe or whatever was most useful to what I was banging my head against.
!C0.PerkELE
I like it cause it is ninja like and also is fucking instant I already took the shuriken+slash

!C0.PerkELE
But I still dislike how it is just like demon souls you press a button, it will happen eventually
why havn't they gotten rid of that
I want to cancel out of shit not queue up
!C0.PerkELE
I just personally think that is failure in game design, but maybe it is just me
!C0.PerkELE
also i think personally having mikiri counter and dodge be the same button is shitty
!C0.PerkELE
but I am like 2 hours in so I don't have the game yet grasped fully to really rate the combat system
I mean I sometimes panic press like >god of war 3 dodge >dark souls dodge >devil may cry 1-4 dodge etc cause it is instinctual stuff
hell one time I was falling accidentally, I pressed whatever was grab button in shadow of the colossus for an instant
will take a while for me to develop the unique reflexes for that game
Just push R1 unless you see the big red thing in which case just recognise their attack and push either x or o
JaPAN
mash the fuck out of r1 hit l1 with the beat of the enemy assault its so easy lmao 0hitsng+++ lol how could anyone ever have trouble with this game they must be failed human beings and not just missing 300 hours of practice
!C0.PerkELE
>>788992 this is literally what I think about every strat game I play >how is this hard?
!C0.PerkELE
or some anime fighting games when I introduce them to my friends >how is this hard >how have you not practiced this system over like 3000 hours over 6 games?
Maria
going from Sekiro to DaS3 feels so clunky and it's like wow why did I even like this combat before just make Sekiro expansion packs
JaPAN
das3 fuckin sucks
!C0.PerkELE
Only thing that I really did dislike about sekiro so far is that it only told me AFTER I had assumed that dying is better than ressing that it is the exact opposite
Maria
>>788996 I swear half the enemies and bosses in this game feel like they were designed for Bloodborne
I think I wouldn't even KNOW about dragonrot if I would have known ressing is 0 punishment
JaPAN
you will get dragonrot from rezzing too you have double the chance to rot someone if you rez
!C0.PerkELE
oh
so what does it do? I don't mind spoilers, cause I hate mechanics like this that aren't explained until later
JaPAN
>>789002 if you let them rot fora while they die permanently and then their quest lines are impossible to complete
!C0.PerkELE
it is bad game design imo
rook
dragonrot won't kill them you just can't progress their quests if they're afflicted don't worry about it too much just cure it after killing a tough boss
!C0.PerkELE
Well figured I suppose no one will die before I learn how to cure them
JaPAN
>>789004 stop fucking dying >>789005 if they get rng chosen after affliction they straight up die
!C0.PerkELE
>>789007 tell that to the game designers that encourage exploring and then throw a miniboss or 10+ mooks at the middle of a exploration path or make it near impossible to return from a taken path, without taking fall damage of 50% your hp bar
rook
should there be no enemies on explorable side paths? >>789007 I haven't seen any of them die in my three playthroughs aside from one person, and they died once just from finishing the quest they gave me with no rot everything I've ever read online states that npcs don't die from rot have you had any die?
>>789009 i have but only the old lady in the first area has died twice
perhaps story pertinent npcs can't!
!C0.PerkELE
>>789011 why are there a ton of people on the side paths
rook
why not? it's a game about fighting, there should be enemies to fight in side areas >>789012 that's the one that died for me too, I think she's literally the only one
!C0.PerkELE
I am just talking about for example why are there many enemies on a side path that tracking down without travelling back makes you almost always take 50% hp bar on fall dmg doesn't matter do you "slow" yourself down by doing some wall jumps or just jump the whole well down
which makes sense 100m fall and 10m fall are the same after all
JaPAN
clear it pussy i did on my first playthrough before i killed the gatekeeper
rook
dude why is ruby weapon so fucking hard optional bosses should be a cakewalk
JaPAN
>>789017 max barrets hp and with two materia wow ez boss
!C0.PerkELE
except when you CAN FUCKING DO A 10M FALL WITH 0 DAMAGE IN MANY OTHER OCCASIONS
rook
>>789018 noooo not strategy how was I meant to do this on my own
!C0.PerkELE
>>789016 am gonna when I continue I havn't gone past 3rd bonfire in the initial ashina
like you get the bell from the granny and then I have just gone to the memory thing in the 2 od hours I have played the game including pause time etc
and I ain't quitting the memory hole before i have finished it
it just is kinda annoying how fromsoftware just doubles down on shit instead of bettering stuff
rook
>>789015 wait do you mean the shrine with the purple guy in hirata estate? where you jump up the well to find him? I remember jumping down from there with no damage though I'm not sure the route I used but I didn't go back down the well
!C0.PerkELE
>>789022 yea I had just cleared all the mooks the archers the giant on the bridge the shield dudes the archer behind the shield dude
like 5 to 10 mins before we start our rpg and I decide to go explore there go up there see that there is a ninja guy he charges me
and am like "okay jump down and die or fight him and die, FUN" with the HP I had left at the moment
ok bye good luck beating a game this retard Mastered
rook
>>789023 that dude's fucking tough at that point too though I left him and went back to kill him later because he'd kill me in two hits
!C0.PerkELE
well you can swim there from the bonfire so I can do it
I just didn't expect a fucking miniboss up there and my options were >die to him >jump down, try to slow down the descend by wall jumping at some points >and still die from 1 metre fall because retarded game
atleast that happened to me on the
rook
I'm fairly sure there's a way to drop down to the right of the shrine won't take damage though I haven't played the game since it released so I may be remembering wrong
!C0.PerkELE
One well short cut to the Main Hall estate when I came down from there I did a TON of wall jumps to slow my way down and then did like 5 metre drop and still took EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUTN OF DAMAGE when I first time just jumped the well down full lenght
and was just "wut"
!C0.PerkELE
>if you lock on to a person you can jump stab them from any height uhh... kay how about no?
I am starting to think some features are console only >>789031 and then I have 0,1 seconds to press a button
also I have noted that half the time it doesn't do it even when you do a perfectly identical locked on long distance jump
rook
you gotta jump first
rook
>>789030 yeah I mean later bosses give you about the same amount of time to react just do it
>>789036 took me like 5 minutes solid to get the shot
I noticed there was a few pillars that for some reason made the model disappear when he was behind them
!C0.PerkELE
I think the game kinda speaks about itself when all my complaints are pretty much >my muscle memory is fucking me >one button is doing 2 things >a model bug nit picks
though there was a MAJOR screen tearing issue initially
Maria
I still stand by that they should have just had spirit emblems work like estus Yeah sure if you're good you'll have a stockpile of them anyway but I don't see the point in the player needing to stop and restock if they're stuck on a boss
!C0.PerkELE
also GET THE FUCKING RID OF QUEUE PROMPTS I WANT TO CANCEL SHIT IN MY ACTION GAMES
When I said while I was annoyed about the memory part that I was there TOO EARLY I was quite serious about that
but I am determined to go through it anyhow before continuing the ashina castle
rook
ah yeah, you haven't even gotten through much of the outskirts >>789058 I'd recommend going back to the outskirts and advancing a bit unless you really want to waste that money you can go through all of hirata estate first, but >>789061 well if you say so seems like a waste of time though
!C0.PerkELE
>>789059 I realised that at the first spear monk and double realised at the spear monk boss but I am ME
For example in DS1, when I was faced with the abyss knight arturius? whatever
my choices were >make a new weapon that actually deals damage to him >or continue fighting him with a weapon that deals 50 dmg dual wielded to him
guess which I did
Maria
>>789053 >haven't killed chained orge Honestly dude stop fighting lady butterfly and do the main quest Like yeah you can kill her right now but you're seriously underskilled
>>789065 Boss of the Hirata estate sidequest Are you stuck on the big purple fire breathing samurai
>>789064 I am not stuck anywhere I just ran into some purple ninja and a big "poppa ninja dad" looking guy and noped out of it because it looked too final and some other stuff I just ran out of play time due to 13th age happening
and am not going to play it like a bottle of wine, 4 beers + 3 shots + of vodka in me
I know already how well I did dark souls drunk when I didn't ahve the game on muscle memory
tho amusingly I did it better drunk later on than sober
!C0.PerkELE
I am guessing sekiro is easily gonna be like 30-40 hours of active game play and that is taking out pause, looking at shit, reading shit, etc
!C0.PerkELE
but I do love the game already
it is so responsive
I do dislike how block/parry has an initial quite large lag to it but once deployed, it is like spam spam spam spammable Comme ci comme รงa
and as I did say how dodge and mikiri are the same button
also there are a fuckton of animation shit you need to memorize I think I'd rather have say sweep have a different warning symbol to it than a thrust has or maybe they do and I didn't notice lol
rook
the warnings are all the same I felt the same way about them at first, wanting some way to differentiate between sweeps and stabs, but eventually it was easier to just watch the enemy and use the audio cue instead having the warning's flash differently would have ended up being more distracting than helpful
!C0.PerkELE
after 10 hours yeah you will see the animations but 1-2 hours in UGH especially spear users
Maria
It's pretty generous honestly If you see the red symbol and just push o plus forwards then you have a 2/3 chance of dodging it
!C0.PerkELE
the mikiri is fucking way too generous you can do it at last moment or way too early and it most of time works
but getting the jump on sweeps is annoying because I don't react to that correctly yet
well it kinda reminds me of heavenly sword /ninja theory games when they first came out the switching between normal, light, heavy block to do shit and then DODGING on the top of that
it definitely was a new thing when it cam out
rook
so satisfying when you stomp on a dude's face though
!C0.PerkELE
>>789073 I just think having like a more harder training mode on the undying samurai wouldn't be bad
!C0.PerkELE
his animations are TOO telegraphed
Maria
Undying Samurai is so cool Every Fromsoft fantasy game should have someone like that
rook
would be nice yeah maybe be able to switch his weapon out as you progress through the game to practice some of the basic stuff you'd go up against
!C0.PerkELE
or as one guy said be able to replay some chosen boss fights to train against them
Maria
I still think Sekiro should have had a bossrush mode
I know I can hold down the o button and forward on the analogue stick I don't care
>>789081 It's the best bit of the game Give me the ability to change settings for self imposed challenges too, like 1 hp runs
!C0.PerkELE
>>789082 ah yeah that is the weird thing why does the prompt for mikiro counter on the pause screen go "forward+circle" but the description says "circle" and it also works with just circle with no stick invovled
rook
also let me delete DoH from the bossrush
Maria
>>789083 Does it work with just circle? I've always had to be holding forwards plus circl or I'd just dodge backwards
I think circle alone does 0 thing now and when I do circle forwards I rush forwards which has gotten me fucked at few times
Maria
>>789087 Yeah the mikkiri counter can sometimes fail to go off depending on your timing Jan has an explanation It has something to do with invincibility frames
!C0.PerkELE
I am not sure but the prompt in the description of the skill is "press circle before you get hit" but in the loading menu is "circle+forwards"
so that is confusing
!C0.PerkELE
and when I did practice it with undying dude it was simple circle
!C0.PerkELE
mm raw herring and vodka
!C0.PerkELE
my apologies to anyone trying to stop/lessen/quit drinking
!C0.PerkELE!C0.PerkELE
rook you know about the "water in oven" trick to get the crust on bread bit harder?
!C0.PerkELE
lso nother fun things to keep i nmind you can just spread the bread with water instead of oil/butter/egg too and salt water can be damn fun with that too
I myself have found doing it with water and then peppering the bread with black pepper from a mill adds a nice touch to the bread
or just mixing black pepper into the dough
nto to mention chili
!C0.PerkELE
fuck
I forgot I set up like 4-5dl of rye sourdough starter yesterday
