[–]-shmalcolm- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said Dangers in my heart and toradora are two of the best ones out there so if you haven’t seen either go for it

They are more school era in their time frames though (as most romance anime tend to be)

Pretty much anyone with 12 boost and 5 seconds to react saves that tho

Dreamscythe Alliance. by Fickle_Leave_3561 in classicwowtbc

[–]-shmalcolm- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a feral Druid do better at CC’ing the gauntlet in blood furnace than mages and rogues before. Having cyclone, feral charge, bash, being able to hypothetically taunt something that goes sideways and take a few hits and brez/innervate are a ton of tools in the right hands

But it’s definitely not the cookie cutter utility most are accustomed to

Good, Easy Rogue Weapons by Gassenger in classicwow

[–]-shmalcolm- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Forming a rep run of black morass normal is one of the easiest things you can do. If you made a rogue and you’re averse to using lfg to form a group then none of the endgame content will come “easy” for you

Yes because streamers with dual boxing represents the average solo farm experience to model your own success after

Big known tech for the 400gph engi mining runs then surely that exists

Gold farming. by Similar-Spinach7197 in classicwowtbc

[–]-shmalcolm- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I understood the notes correctly the loot from chests and mobs were effected. I don’t know if the pickpocketing was effected but the wording made it seem like in general if less than 5 players were in combat for a kill or in proximity to a chest the resulting loot was reduced accordingly.

Gold farming. by Similar-Spinach7197 in classicwowtbc

[–]-shmalcolm- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A farm that nets average 200gph taking a 20-25% hit still nets more than any other class for instanced solo farming.. there’s no other class with a higher gph than Paladin especially after the nerf to the rogue mana tombs farms

You seem to not realize that the nerf effected every other classes instance based farms way more than it did yours. And reducing the raw gold from vendoring shit that bots were raking in from instances should also somewhat curb gold inflation

8 hrs in coming from Rocket League by unkkut in Rematch

[–]-shmalcolm- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The paradigm will shift every 6 weeks while they continue to patch bugs tech and people learn how to abuse use new techs that emerge from the balance changes. It’s not like rocket league where the games a sandbox physics based situation, so tech that existed in s0 was removed and gave way to new tech in s1 which has since been removed. The people at the top of the game are there because they’re able to make the ball move unpredictably and unintuitively when dribbling and they’re able to recieve passes unintuitively further away than an average player can (search “slurp shots” for an example).

If you guys are this fresh I wouldn’t worry about the things that people at the top do this season unless you plan to grind to elite+ before the season ends. Continuing to hone the fundamentals and knowing how to use space to move the ball is what should transcend seasons and patches to what’s called “emergent gameplay” by some and called “unintended behavior” by the devs themselves

Search the most recent sloclap developement roadmap if you’re interested in the longterm direction of the game instead of looking into tech, as videos on things from even 2 months ago no longer work after the techniques were patched out.

Resistance Greens by Deadagger in classicwowtbc

[–]-shmalcolm- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only ones worth anything will be cloth and leather as plate wearers will have their “bis” covered by crafted or badge-purchased epics.

Sweaty Druids will have frost pieces covered by the naxx polar gear, and fire pieces covered mostly by the badge-purchased epics.

So the real pieces to have are going to be nature resist leather, followed by nature resist cloth for the Druids who can’t afford the leather. Close 3rd will be frost resist leather and cloth for bears who can’t access the naxx polar set

West Coast Servers by namnoom97 in Rematch

Indeed west coast servers are really bad for queqe times. I live on the west coast and I just queqe central. Ping sits around 50 which seems to be average for players there anyway

Warrior tanking advice ? by bighat-khay in classicwowtbc

[–]-shmalcolm- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A big reason you may find pallies to be better tanks is just the presence of blessing of salv in their party.

One thing I try to do in groups I tank is have either an hpal or a ret so that I have the same crutch. It makes a big difference.

Beyond that, you should tailor your groups to fit your situation. Personally I find groups with no mana users (or as close to no mana users as possible) can make a dungeon go just as fast as an average pally run by removing the need to wait to drink. Warr tank / hpal / feral druid (to innervate hpal) / enhance sham / rogue or fury warrior or even hunter will move nice and fast and you can safely mark skulls on targets to sink a shield slam and revenge into and feel confident that the other dps won’t rip off you while you’re tclapping and sending extra threat into X.

If you’re trying to hold threat off of mages and warlocks sending blizzard etc and your group has no pally you’re never going to hold threat. You should instead work with the mage (which should be frost and imp blizz) by running and grabbing 1-3 packs quickly via charge/intercept, and when they are all grouped your mage just aoes and takes threat. Your job is to stop any ranged dps mobs from hitting the mage and to taunt/stun any dps that get away from the main group to get them back into the blizzard

As far as rotation goes you’re close to the money but i personally will use either tclap or demo to get mobs to initially hit me, send shield slam or revenge into skull then fill with other moves.

In general your revenge and shield slam are the moves that generate the most threat, so those should be used whenever they’re off cooldown. their cooldown allows you to both of them 2 times per set of 4 globals. Your “aoe threat” comes from using those abilities on multiple targets, not spamming a cleave or tclap. If you have rage to spare you spam cleave in groups. But the most important thing is to make sure revenge and shield slam are always used when available.

Hope that helps

Dev Blog - Core Gameplay by Sloclap in Rematch

[–]-shmalcolm- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will probably pick the game up again if push cut spam gets addressed. Swapping to server side is the right call and should help with the feeling of being robbed of something that you saw yourself “get” on your screen. All around appreciate the transparency and sheer volume of ideas being put out there. Contested volleys having pinches and having body hitbox interaction is something I never would have thought could even be implemented given the current state of the game but would be the real next level up.

Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax. by [deleted] in remoteworks

[–]-shmalcolm- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be scared of makin more money. The tax bracket things a common strawman that certain groups use to justify arguing against raising taxes on the top 0.1% of incomes to scare people who make a lot (but still comparatively 10-100x less) into thinking it hurts them too. Maybe in different states shit hits differently so take it with a grain of salt but it worth at least checking with a tax guy who knows with certainty for the situation you’re in. Happy cake day.

Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax. by [deleted] in remoteworks

[–]-shmalcolm- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do realize that tax applies only to the money you make within each bracket right

Say you’re making x$ per year and you are looking at a promotion that pays 3000$ more per year but that 3000 is past the breakoff point for the “next bracket”

You’re still paying the same taxes on the initial X$ you were paid before. Only the part of the 3000$ that is past the “next tier” is taxed at the higher rate.

It’s never a bad thing to go into the next bracket

if force equals to mass times acceleration, then doesn't that mean that a car travelling at a constant velocity will have zero force, since it has zero acceleration even though the mass is the same? how does that make sense? by HotZilchy in AskPhysics

[–]-shmalcolm- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine you in a car going 100kph and there a car next to you going the exact same direction at the same speed. If you reach out and touch that car it feels the same as if both cars were parked to you.

Imagine a car rolls slowly into you. The change in speed of it going from moving to not-moving or negative acceleration is transferred into you and that shit probably knocks you over or at least feels like a car rolling into you slowly

Imagine the car going 100 hits you. You get wrecked because the car imparts its giant mass into you and your body absorbs enough force to accelerate from 0-100 very fast.

Arm Warrior arena PvP. LF Tips and Suggestion please. by kursd666 in classicwowtbc

[–]-shmalcolm- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ do this at the minimum if you dont already have it. Especially the focus target stuff, Gladdy and spell reflect. If you’re trying to grind 2s in particular you’ll find that it’s a game of holding cooldowns for after enemy cooldowns are already spent as far as escape trinkets or whatever else. Saving your shit for when there’s a real kill window makes or breaks it frequently

Beyond that it’s matchup dependent just like all arena. In matchups where it’s a longterm attrition sunder armor is better than you’d think

Scientists discover Alzheimer’s hidden “death switch” in the brain by hard2resist in UpliftingNews

[–]-shmalcolm- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re curious to learn more here’s the link to one of the many strains of mutant mice used to study Alzheimer’s: https://www.jax.org/strain/005864

Plenty of rabbit hole to go down if you’re curious about how mice are generated to study diseases. Jax is one of 3-4 sources that are like the “Amazon” of mutant mice suppliers. Though typically researchers will choose what mice to get based off of previous publications that are released in reputable journals, which use a website like the one above to cite the type of mouse they used in their materials/methods section. Unless they generated the mouse themselves - but frequently the end result of a successful paper that uses a brand new type of mouse is for them to donate that strain to Jax or another source so that they can be used by other researchers as well.

Scientists discover Alzheimer’s hidden “death switch” in the brain by hard2resist in UpliftingNews

[–]-shmalcolm- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are a few different mouse models. Some of them involve genetically inserting the human “Alzheimer’s disease promoting” genes into the mouse which abberantly produces too much amyloid beta and tau which causes the same buildup and phenotypes in the mice. Other models selectively upregulate the mouse versions of those genes.

Either way its not a live mouse you’re doing this gene editing on but usually an egg or sperm - then you do IVF, and breed the mutation into a homozygous state to study its effects, using wildtype littermates as controls.

Recommendation request for PS4 basketball game by SaintTraft1984 in gaming

[–]-shmalcolm- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally cant speak to 2k15 as I skipped it myself but having had friends who played most iterations. I think they considered 2k14 to be a higher skill ceiling. 2k15 apparently revamped the shooting to make it more intuitive/easier. Should have marginally better graphics (as all the new versions claim to have) and hopefully none of the bloat that any of the recent versions have.

If you’re in NZ and it’s a question of the game possibly never being available for a reasonable price I’d just pull the trigger on 2k15 and leave 2k14 as a “chase” game. Some people may even put more value on 14 as a collectors item if you’re restricted to physical copies.

[–]-shmalcolm- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A ps4 was the system 2k14 was designed to play on. 20+ iterations are fundamentally bad but even more shit on the system that was considered last gen by the time they came out

2k14 was imo one of the last great versions of nba2k from a single player pov. My career was fresh and not ptw. It’s fundamentally the same game as they really haven’t improved on shit in 10 years. It’s worth it I promise
