    I think DHS meant it like “there was no (hiding) the fact that (Rosa) was not swinging” threateningly. Which, she wasn’t.

    That scene needed to be either Rosa coming out with no weapon, and then Penelope and Megan doing the “it’s even numbers now, are we gonna do this?” awkward staredown, or Rosa brings out a chair and Penelope and Megan clear out because they’re outmatched.

    Having Rosa with a weapon and the awkward staredown is the worst option for all involved.

    Yes. That is what I meant. It was very obvious more so than on camera that Rosa was supposed to run them off without hitting them. Bayne and Ford no sold the threat so Rosa is stuck just gesticulating with a chair in a thoroughly bizarre manner.

    Last night's hockey all-star final thing was incredible and rivaled any playoff game that league has had in the past decade. They really found something in their new format. If only the NBA could do the same though i suppose it could be argued that they captured the same energy the NBA has done with the in-season tournament.

    So that game was awesome, and I turned it on as someone who doesn't watch hockey basically ever.

    But the circumstances that lead to that atmosphere aren't possible for the NBA to replicate.

    The reason it was so fun is because it became very political. It basically wound up as some horrible inverse Miracle on Ice thing where you have Team USA standing in for Trump and tariffs, at a time where that trade war is incredibly hot. Once the GM of the team went on Fox News to say how happy he was that Trump was making it so charged and political....it was pretty much 100% politics. Everyone's booing the American anthem, and the optics were that the team were pretty much in lock step with Trump after the GM's comments(acknowledging some of them probably were not).

    I was definitely cheering for Canada as a result! They interviewed the American head coach, and he seemed nice, then some Bostonian asshole sits down right behind him with a MAGA hat and yeah it is what it is.

    It was a legit hate match, which is always going to get you the best atmosphere. Americans and non-Americans in the NBA just don't dislike eachother like that (except for Draymond because he's a dumbass), and basically all of the prominent American stars have vocally expressed how much they hate Trump. It's just can't turn into "proxy for politics" with all of that.

    i knew you loved Dillon Brooks

    Thanks everyone!

    Yeah I've mainly been doing just whatever takes my fancy and having a nice time without stressing, but the 2 issues I'm facing are that what was a perfectly functional (if not exactly optimised) end game build is now very much out of date.
    I'm capable of holding my own in the level 6 bounties in 1999 on the basic starchart, but so far my experience of steel path is that steel path has hands.

    The 2nd problem stems from problem one, where getting up to date seems to involve digesting 5+ years of new systems and the ones I neglected back in the old days because I didn't really need too.

    After I have fun rolling in the nostalgia that is 1999, I'll head back to deimos and get the helminth bits.

    How jacked to you need to be for steel path circuit? I sort of feel like I need to get some kind of up to date power jump to be able to get others. It feels appropriately paradoxical. 😛

    You can sort of do okay on the steel path circuit with the base loadouts. If you can get a warframe that does a ton of damage on its own with its abilities or exalted weapons, it'll help a ton.

    Mesa and Dante are great for that, in my experience. Revenant will make you essentially invincible with Mesmer Skin, and a mod will extend that to your teammates as well.

    I think I’ve had a hard time breaking out of the Souls mode where I tend to keep my distance or rely on dodging and running for up close encounters. Admittedly, I’ve got enough game left that I’m guessing this approach won’t be right for every fight.

    But it’s exciting how much more intelligible things feel with a more aggressive approach - like there aren’t often obvious enemy patterns when I’m playing defense, waiting for them to come to me, but when I force the enemy to play defense they turn into decipherable puzzles. And the combat feels much more like the stylized swordplay the game is centered around - I swing, they block, I swing, they counter, I block, they try to stab, I counter, next enemy.

    And each enemy feels more like they have a flavor and character rather than just a gimmick (this one swings overhead, this one has a shield, this one does big sweeps -instead this one is disciplined and exploits blocks, this one can’t fight but can knock you off balance and attack when I’m down, this one is big on quick fancy moves but terrible at defense). It’s just clicked like no other combat I’ve played and it feels fantastic.

    Yeah, the more aggressive you can be in Sekiro, the better. When you've really got enemy patterns down and you can just attack almost endlessly, you fill their Posture gauge fast and rip through bosses and the best way to keep Posture built up is dealing damage quickly and repeatedly. It's closer to Bloodborne in rewarding aggressiveness, except doesn't have some silly resentment of blocking.

    But whereas the Soulsborne games make parrying a questionable proposition even when you aren't playing multiplayer, Sekiro absolutely demands parrying and dodges and blocking and counters for the Git Gud aspect. You can get through the game with lots of blocking and running, but it really really slows things down and is pretty boring. And once you get those patterns down, you've got them. You'll go to an NG+ and be amazed at how you can just blaze through enemies and do wild, aggressive shit you never considered before.

    And you're dead-on about the combat being a more stylized experience. It's far far more move-and-countermove than the Soulsborne games where you mostly are just waiting for windows to attack with whatever you can land. Enemies generally attack more often, but they also leave more windows. Then it becomes a matter of what are you comfortable countering/parrying/or blocking, then attacking back. It's pretty awesome when you go back to fight
    Owl
    again and you just take him apart because his combos just let you hammer his Posture and his sneaky attacks give you attack openings.

    I’m not sure if there’s another encounter down the line, but I just finished a battle with
    Owl
    and that was such a sublime gameplay experience.

    After I bounced off the fight like a dozen times without getting anywhere near a single deathblow, I finally figured out how to approach the fight, just survived the first round, and then barely scraped by the second half all in a single go.

    Mechanically it was a blast, but the really unique thing is that I cracked how to win by analyzing the damned characters and what the fighting styles were indicating. The guy is turning all my tricks on me because he taught them to me… but he’s older, so there’s a slight opening after every one where his reflexes just aren’t able to match yours. And that broke the whole fight wide open while also adding a little touch of sadness to the situation. Top notch storytelling through action.

    I’ve had a blast with the other From games I’ve played but yeah, this is the first one I’m now flat out in love with.

    Awesome that's great to know. That's a clear goal then. More Deimos to make Helminth fat, do the Duviri quest steel path to unlock circuit.

    In the mean time I am just loving 1999. I really like the tileset and the characters/MSN messenger action.

    In the early days of steel path when I cleared it, I mostly used specific cheese builds. They weren't super powerful but they had particular strats that invalidated the challenge. Full armor strip was key, with maybe a mod like rolling guard as an emergency death ward. I think I used nyx with physchic bolts augment to kindof aoe cc and full armor strip for most killy missions and then area domination frames like vauban or something for stuff like interception.

    Some strategies remove all difficulty without the frames being jacked so to speak.

    EDIT: My suggestions are for soloing, I do it so often I forget that strategies change when you have access to a group. Soloing steel path interception or defense is a different story when you have help.

    I got Double XP as my daily login bonus today, which stacked with the Double XP Event weekend going on, so then I went and got an XP blessing at a relay which I think had me end up at 5x XP?

    Then I maxed out everything I owned that wasn't maxed yet and spent the rest of the time power leveling my Railjack. Got my Intrinsics to level 10 in the one that unlocks better hirelings at Ticker, and level 9 in all the other categories. Will probably log back in after the daily reset and get the relay blessing again to do some more Railjack leveling.

    a new ioniq 6 was out of my price range($37k) so I was originally going to get a hybrid elantra(26k) but they happened to have this sitting on the lot for like a year and it was only 5k more than the elantra, which I will easily make back in gas and oil changes and car batteries. plus it's an SEL so I have all wheel drive that gives 320 horsepower. I'm gonna be zipping around in this thing

    Most American radiators are far bulkier and uglier than European ones.

    Mostly, I think, because you don’t see a lot of new radiator heat setups in new houses in America. Most new construction and renovations tend to go with a heat pump or forced air, so almost all the radiators you tend to see are old pre-war buildings with 200 pound cast iron radiators.

    Aren't they basically making a whole new mechanic to buff hero power? Isn't infuse literally hero power (class).

    Also I haven't played in quite a while, but man it feels like there really isn't any gaining micro advantages anymore. Anytime you run into anything close to a meta deck nothing snowballs. It is just nothing and then completely insurmountable oppression, insta death, or no way to interact with a card (starships being the worst). I can kind of see why the game has fallen off and people like kibler arent playing much anymore. It is a lot less engaging when your choices matter less than in earlier seasons/years.

    But their art team is still top notch and makes me want to play with some cards even if they aren't good because they have good art or funny voice lines.

    The blessing from a relay is only 1.25x but yeah stacking things is awesome. Another one that's not widely known is your first mission of the day gets a 2x credit bonus, so if you can stack that with a 2x credit boost weekend and a relay blessing and then actually find a laomedia disruption group that doesn't leave on round 2 for some reason you can have all of the credits.

    My (very old, badly maintained) apartment when I lived in Germany had those ancient ones. Looked like it had been installed in the 50s. Made horrible noise at night. When I first moved in I found a sock and a matchbox stuffed behind one of them that also looked like they'd been there since the 50s, along with several decades of dust. Have been vaguely repulsed by them ever since.

    As a person who prefers just... playing shit and seeing cool stuff happen, I feel like where Hearthstone is right now is really fun. It could also be the honeymoon of leaving for like 3-4 years and coming back to a bunch of new stuff. Ever since Day9 started posting Hearthstone again I started getting interested and it's been pretty nice. If I wanted super well crafted think-y strategy I think I would go to MTGO.
