| Ruddager 05/17/21 11:14:13 PM #298 | The new "meta" with big company girl groups seems to be delay a physical album until youre damn sure the numbers they can pull are at least on par with the "competition" so as to not look weak. In the meantime, just release digital singles while trying to build popularity and have advertisers falling all over themselves to get at them because they come from a "Big 3" company |

| Ruddager 02/23/21 11:29:05 PM #184 | YG already made a statement, basically said its their personal lives so they wont comment which is the new kpop company code for yes they are dating but we dont want to release a statement that actually says that straight up but wwe also cant deny it or else more shit will be released. Dispatch rarely gets things like this wrong anyway, they collect pictures/vids/other stuff for months, release a few tame pictures to get the point across then basically contact the companies and tell them that if they deny it the harder evidence they have will be released. |

| Ruddager 02/16/21 11:55:51 AM #6 | Nah, NBA fans in general have long pushed the narrative that championships matter more than anything else to a player's legacy so can't blame players for doing whatever it takes to secure that. |

| Ruddager 02/01/21 11:47:09 AM #10 | BlazinBlue88 posted... I second all of this. Keep your distance from Theseus so the only attack he can use is the spear. Dance around the Minotaur focusing on evasiveness with occasional attacks while keeping an eye out for Theseus' spear throw. Once Minotaur is dead, then focus on Theseus. Adding to this, get yourself a nice high damage call, save all your meter until Theseus does his own call (at half health) then unleash your greater call to burst him down. Depending on your call and how upgraded it is you might outright kill him from that |

| Ruddager 01/27/21 7:24:48 PM #147 | Oh for sure, the company definitely should be taking a large portion of the blame, both for not catching that there was a cam and for basically advertising to the world that it existed when it was clearly not going to blow up. But obviously the scumbag who set up the cam is the prime offender |

| Ruddager 01/27/21 2:44:54 PM #142 | Also its kinda crazy because them addressing the screenshots and trying to convince people they were fake to try and bury the story basically Streisand effected the video into actually being released publicly. The initial leaked screenshots didnt make big news even in Korea (and didnt even make it to international kpop outlets) at first and then as soon as the agency addressed it suddenly a ton of kpop fans all over the world were aware of what happened and it essentially sparked creepers all over the world to go on a massive hunt to track down the video which of course they did and now its out there. Gotta feel bad for Nancy, not only for being recorded secretly which is terrible in and of itself but also because her own company caused even more damage, if they had just kept their mouths shut this whole situation would've just faded away after a week or so |

Also about the shockwaves, just rushdown the skulls in the Hades fight and kill them before they pop, they should only take a few hits from any build that got you to Hades |

| Ruddager 01/27/21 9:01:28 AM #141 | Wonder how Momolands agency is gonna respond to the video of Nancy actually now getting leaked considering they initially said the screenshots/pictures that were circulating for the last 2 weeks were not real and just deepfakes.

| Topic | Hitman 3 discussion |
| Ruddager 01/25/21 10:12:54 AM #66 | pogo_rabid posted... so i attached my steam account to my io account and it pulled hitman 2, all i gotta do is log in when it finishes installing and i'm golden right? Yes, and don't start actually playing hitman 3 in the meantime because the transfer will wipe your hitman 3 save. Make sure you can see in game that your hitman 2 stuff has carried over before actually starting. I dunno if they've fixed it but I linked my accounts day 1 and it didn't actually transfer my shit until a day later You carry over your user level and mastery from the other games levels and the unlocked gear/outfits/etc... associated with them |
| Topic | Hades General? |
| Ruddager 01/21/21 11:34:33 AM #219 | Demeter on Chiron special is also quite nice. Solid damage boost plus you're putting on chill stacks. If you also get the boon that does set burst damage at 10 chill (then clears the chill stacks) you're doing an extra 100+ damage almost every time you hit the special button. |

| Topic | Hades General? |
| Ruddager 01/19/21 8:44:03 PM #179 | Bruh, 76 runs and Achilles/Patroclus still haven't advanced their dialogue enough to even get the prompt for Achilles' favor, and even when that happens there will still be the RNG for Nyx to give the contract location. On the positive side, I've now finished farming all the Legendary boons (had 3 stacked on a single run) and am 1 Duo away (Demeter/Aphrodite) from finishing that |

| Ruddager 01/18/21 11:21:30 PM #168 | DuranOfForcena posted... oh shit, i just looked this up, thanks. i didn't realize there were such intricate requirements for affinity in some cases. yeah, Aphrodite is one of the ones i need. i just have more heart to get with Dusa for that though. and i guess i need to catch some more fish and then talk to Poseidon, but tbqh i'm pretty sure i've already caught at least 18 fish, probably more. and then the last one i have is Artemis. not sure if there's supposed to be a way to trigger Artemis' dialogues about Callisto or if you are just supposed to keep talking to her until you get the right dialogues. i think she's only mentioned Callisto once that i can remember. Artemis dialogue is random I believe, and for Poseidon make sure you catch a fish on your current run before you accept a boon from him on the same run |
| Topic | Hades General? |
| Ruddager 01/18/21 10:17:33 PM #162 | DuranOfForcena posted... i'm confused on what i need to do to advance the Queen's Plan prophecy. i have like 3 or 4 Olympians who have one locked heart left on their friendship meters or whatever, but whenever i get their boon they don't have anything new to say and there's no option to gift them any nectar or ambrosia. There are certain conditions to unlock the hearts, just like every other character, its probably best to just look them up. I know for Aphrodite for example you need to max out you relationships with Meg, Thanatos, and Dusa to unlock her locked heart, Dionysus requires you to have gifted at least 10 total ambrosia spread out to least 6 different characters before you unlock his, etc... |

| Topic | I have Xbox Game Pass: FF7, FF8, DQ11, or Yakuza 0? |
| Ruddager 01/13/21 1:22:04 PM #11 | Holy_Cloud105 posted... I would say it's fine to play 0 and then take a break. The jump in quality from even Yakuza 1 to 3 is gigantic. It's a struggle to get through 3. While I love all the games they are similar enough that playing ANY three of them in a row will burn you out on the series, especially since he already feels like he might need a break after playing Kiwami 1 and 2 so recently and close together. |

| Ruddager 01/08/21 10:16:32 PM #55 | Ruddager posted... Picked this up couple days ago and loving it despite bouncing off a lot of roguelite/roguelikes in the past. Very next run after my first clear I was taking the Demeter Fists out for a spin, was only really looking to fish for new boons/legendary boons/duo boons for the prophecies and collect resources but ended up taking down Hades again for the 2 streak. Artemis cast/boosted crit chance and damage/plus the skills for fast dislodge and damage upon dislodge tore through bosses, got a Chaos boon that boosted dash attack damage by 900% against armor so Elysium was a cakewalk, and Athena dash to top it all off. My clear time was half of what the first clear was |

| Ruddager 01/08/21 8:30:31 PM #37 | Captain_Qwark posted... Does that mean that it doesn't work anymore for those who have it? Or you just cant get it on there anymore? An app being removed from the store doesn't deactivate the app if you already have it no which is unfortunate in cases like this (I dont even know if Google/Apple have the ability/power to prevent access to apps already on your phone tbh) it just prevents more people from getting it/if people using it get new phones they cant get it back and it wont be able to receive updates. |

I've completed several runs and never even heard of this lol Each weapon has 3 additional "forms" with varying abilities that you can unlock using Titans Blood. IIRC they are available as soon as you've done 1 run after unlocking the last weapon (well 2 for each weapon at first since the last one for each weapon is "hidden" and needs other things to happen to unlock) . Pick a weapon then go back to its place and hit the interact button to bring up the aspect menu for that weapon |

Just got my first clear on my 2nd time reaching Hades. I think it was run 20 but I know I dicked around on a more than a couple of runs taking worse/subpar boons to fill out the prophecy list so maybe a little more. Did it using the Eris aspect for the Rail. Demeter cast and call put in work against Hades |

| Topic | So, Question about the Yakuza Series. |
| Ruddager 01/04/21 12:18:25 PM #9 | Yes definitely start with 0 but as others have said be prepared for dips in quality, a bit from 0 to Kiwami 1 then a massive dip from Kiwami 2 to the remaster of 3 which imo is the low point of the series (both in the narrative and gameplay, plus you go from the shiny new dragon engine back to whatever they were using back in 2009) . All the games are good though |

| Topic | Playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the first time |
| Ruddager 01/03/21 4:22:32 PM #163 | you might want to just watch someone fight the boss to get a feel for how you should actually be taking him on. You really should be engaging with the deflect mechanic by that point in the game and not just running around looking for stray hits. It really isnt a souls game like the others. Basically every boss can and probably should be killed through filling their posture as opposed to draining their health completely with sword attacks |
| Topic | Playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the first time |
| Ruddager 01/01/21 10:33:16 AM #101 | loafy013 posted... I find it relaxing to do in souls/bloodborne, but i could never get the timing down in this one. Thats extremely strange because the default deflect active window in Sekiro is like 3-4x longer than any of the parry tools in the dark souls games. Your deflect in sekiro has like 30 active frames (half a second) compared to most DS shields being under 10 frames (hell its a longer window than the rolls in DS as well). Even if you absolutely spam deflect (which reduces the active window) it only gets as small as 7 frames which is on par with DS shields. Honestly by the time I was halfway through the game it felt TOO easy to deflect everything once youve seen an enemies moveset once or twice |

| Topic | Playing Dark Souls 2 for the first time |
| Ruddager 12/30/20 9:55:13 PM #276 | Garioshi posted... Must be said, I massively appreciate how nonlinear the beginning of the game is specifically because of how high of a difficulty spike the Ruin Sentinels are. Just dont expect Sekiro to be a "souls game" it has aspects that it takes from souls for sure but it IS its own thing. Theres more of a focus on the story, there are no real builds/stats, theres only 1 actual weapon. Its also WAY faster paced and requires WAY more aggression than either of the souls games you played so far. |
