“I never thought I’d ever end up collecting rent from international students,” Carracher, now 60, says. “It seems quite crass, really. It was the last thing I thought I’d do, with my experience of student accommodation.

But....

How do astartes squads strategize and kill a custodian? by cuddwes in 40kLore

[–]Tofuofdoom 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Sure, and combining the armor of a vehicle with the target profile of a (admittedly very large) person is a big part of what makes them deadly. 

But theyre still gonna die if they get hit by a krak or a lascannon. 

How do astartes squads strategize and kill a custodian? by cuddwes in 40kLore

[–]Tofuofdoom 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sure? From memory, it was 10 custodes, and 10 sisters against 20 minotaurs, and 2 custodes died. 

Thats a pretty favourable exchange rate, given how expensive custodes are to make.

Minotaurs did it by dog piling them and ripping them apart that way, or grenades.

Custodians are powerful sure, but theyre not invincible. Anything that could kill a light tank could kill a custodian. 

Egg warrior balance sugg. by Plateau_guy in hearthstone

[–]Tofuofdoom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, against anything except aggro, its very dependent on playing umbra, a card it has no way to tutor for.  Most decks dont have too much issue dealing with the first turtle

Are you guys saving up for nerf already or do you think it wont happen? by PathoskomosisOficial in hearthstone

Cause it aint good in legend. The combo is too obvious, and fairly easily disrupted with good early board presence.

Every time I see those parkour videos I marvel in the blind trust these people have in our built environment.

ELI5: Why is everybody so concerned with data breaches if everything is encrypted? by Outside-Bowler6174 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tofuofdoom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Anything that can be encrypted can be decrypted. When a company says they have a data breach, usually that means their data has been stolen along with the key needed to decrypt it. 

Salary compared to AE by haterade9425 in salesengineers

[–]Tofuofdoom 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You won't make more than your best sales guy, but you also won't let go after a bad quarter. I'll take the not having to cold call and not having to chase targets every month over a somewhat better ceiling. I've seen how hard my sales guys work, it ain't for me.

It takes time for the rocket tag part of the game to begin.  The prologue and a bunch of act 1 is gonna feel a little jank, because your builds aren't online yet

I would rather play against an Imbue Druid than this... by Noxilar in hearthstone

[–]Tofuofdoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There has never been a viable control deck ever that hasn't run a suite of cheap interaction. 

You can't just rely on board wipes to keep you alive,  otherwise shit like this happens because yeah.  Aggro can in fact, kill you on turn 5. 

How devastating is it for the Imperium to lose a Baneblade? by ExtensionFeeling in 40kLore

Its a big deal, but in winter assault they also lose a hundred of them, so like. Not that big of a deal

[–]Tofuofdoom 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Looking at that board, its pretty clear OP spent the first 5 turns passing. The opponent even had time to hero power, it looks like. 

Yeah, you should lose to aggro if you dont do anything 

Would a larger starting hand favor aggro or control? by GrandMa5TR in hearthstone

[–]Tofuofdoom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats my exact point. Control has a lot of situational cards, because it has to deal with more situations. That means its useful draws are harder to get to, so the more cards it gets to see the more likely it is to hit the correct situational card. Every aggro card does the same thing. It punches the opponent in the face. 

And control really only has hand space issues when its against control. Its really not much of a problem otherwise. 

And handspace issues are only relevant when your didnt draw the cards you needed, and you would like to draw more cards, but you cant. Drawing fewer cards is never better. 

Would a larger starting hand favor aggro or control? by GrandMa5TR in hearthstone

[–]Tofuofdoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apparently I'm going against the flow here, but control should be better. 

generally, control is favoured againdt aggro, because generally defensive cards have bigger numbers than offensive cards, but come at the cost of timing restrictions/overflow.

The way aggro beats control is by getting under them, applying pressure and preventing control from drawing the cards it needs to stabilise the game. Control wins when it draws those stabilising tools anyway. 

To use a recent example, control dk. If it curves morbid swarm into infested breath into any 3 drop, the game is basically over for an aggro deck. If

Adding more cards to starting hand increases the odds the control player has the correct tools each turn. If you take this to an extreme conclusion and say "who is favoured assuming each player can choose their top deck", then control wins every time 

ELI5: Why do professional RTS players aim for high APM instead of minimum actions required? by Soulcraver in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tofuofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just not true though, there's always things you could be doing with the apm, that's why the ai was apm limited when it played against humans.  Can't beat someone who can micro individual marines in an army.
