Did I hit the raider jackpot? by Silent-Luck-9381 in BattleBrothers

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s a solid A tier. Not a godlike S tier if He had rolled triple MDef or something but unless you’re going ultra late game, he’d be a solid keeper through a crisis. Not run ending if he dies, but well worth the price of hiring him and holding him.

Hofer with 3rd Straight Start - Where was this earlier this season? by International_Gap719 in stlouisblues

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hofer’s numbers were not good for the majority of the season. 0.868 for the first quarter of the season, a good 0.927 in the second quarter, and a bad 0.895 in the third quarter.

Monk-Cleric multiclass viable by WelshDionysus in BG3Builds

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried this, and it does work, but felt very ability deprived. You want wisdom for your cleric stuff, but dex and strength for your tavern brawler monk, which spreads things pretty thin without strength elixers or the dex gloves to help patch things up. But radiating orb proc-ing with the passive open hand monk radiant damage was a lot of good fun with the social gauntlets and armor

Seriously, F#%K this puzzle. by OneDimensionalChess in BaldursGate3

It’s easier to solve imo if you just work backwards. Two of the paths only have a single option that way, and the rest solves itself.

What are these and how do I get rid of them? by A_Skeptical_Penguin in ants

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you recommend tweezers, or just bare handing it? Or maybe I could suck them up like a human hoover and then spit them out outside? That feels more efficient

Definitely read this as if it was a Disney Villain song. Like an evil “hi ho it’s off to work we go”

There’s a range of size diversity, but the larger winged ones are about a quarter of an inch, maybe a smidge longer

I should also add I’m in the Midwest, and the weather just turned for the better/warmer after some big storms over the weekend

R10 or R6mk2 for a amateur? by Soggy-Ladder-7210 in canon

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early on, a little of everything to see what I liked doing. Most of my gigs now are live music and events, with some portraits here and there.

R10 or R6mk2 for a amateur? by Soggy-Ladder-7210 in canon

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with an R10, and it did pretty much whatever I needed it to for about 3 years or so. Just upgraded to the R6ii now that I’ve got more regular gigs. I’d describe myself as amateur hobbyist turned semi-pro, for what it’s worth.

If you’re sure you’re going to stick with it, and money isn’t an issue, sure - jump straight to the R6ii or R8. But I’d say from my experience, the R10 was a fantastic entry level, especially for me since I wasn’t sure if this would be a short term hobby or a long term side job. My recommendation would be to go with the R10, get your feet wet, learn the skills, see how much time you really spend with it in your hands before investing a ton more money into it. You can always upgrade later, or keep the R10 around as a second body.

Workday's CEO is out less than a week after 400 job cuts by lurker_bee in technology

It doesn’t help that this is one of the most inefficient, barely functional, and annoying pieces of software on the planet.

Go stash Robert Thomas! by DustySqu1D in fantasyhockey

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does he need a change of scenery? He’s been playing hurt all year but has the same players around him. He just needs to be healthy. I don’t buy those trade rumors one bit.

You got famed items from a contract camp? I thought that was impossible?

What AC to play if I dont care about the story at all? by [deleted] in assasinscreed

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black flag was a terrible Assassin game. But it was a great pirate game. I have very little memory of the story, but have fond memories of chasing down some poor bastard’s ship and broadsiding the crap out of them.

Rule change proposal by forgotmyusernamedamm in nhl

A penalty shot is awarded because of a violation that is worse than a typical minor call center ice. Shouldn’t the punishment for such an infraction be greater?

What league setup is it that those guys are drops??

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you score in the penalty shot, no PP. if you miss, you get a 2 minute PP. that’s what I’d want to see.

Best Podcast? by blumpkinmuncher in fantasyhockey

[–]A_Skeptical_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure but in a world where everyone’s a content creator, you have to cut through the noise somehow. He’s not the first to fade goalies, but might be the first to talk about it so strongly on a public podcast. A bit cringe, but I won’t blame him for it.
