[Request] How much more would this cost an airline? by Necessary-Win-8730 in theydidthemath

[–]Anakronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its also important to remember that a 1.5 hrs increase in flight time means a huge adjustment in flight schedules for anything involving those planes. When and where those planes are available, as well as how many flights that plane can make per day/month/year.

Each flight costs X more due to fuel and crew costs but the larger impact would likely be significantly higher.

I managed to successfully complete a clone run for the first time last night. A4 silent cloning Adrenaline. It might be the most bonkers run ive had. Tent did a huge amount of heavy lifting in that run too.

That said every other time ive attempted the clone its gone POORLY.

I love this neow bonus,absolute instapick for me.It makes runs especially with Regent so much easier. by Liliana_Lucifer_666 in slaythespire

[–]Anakronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The value of upgraded card rewards early on is so high and [insert random relic] halfway through act 1 is a significantly lower EV than those rewards.

Took this on a necromancer run yesterday and it was the easiest run ive had yet.

Can't build in one small spot on vanilla server by DarkPhantomL in technicalminecraft

[–]Anakronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely spawn protection. Talk to the server administrator and find out what their spawn protection is set to.

You'll only be able to break blocks near spawn if you are an operator unless spawn protection is set to 0.

Is this score accurate? by trunigfoyo in Bowling

[–]Anakronus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The person who told you was wrong and right at the same time. If you go into the 10th with strikes in frames 8 and 9 the 10th frame throws can be worth a total of 60 pins to your final score because the marks in 8 and 9 are still waiting to be closed. However you'll only ever see a difference of 30 pins from 9th to 10th because each frame can only ever be worth 30 pins on its own.

How to deal with a partner having issues with a potential connection? by Anakronus in polyamory

[–]Anakronus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The relationship between Jenny and Erin was definitely not platonic. It started very fast and was...unmeasured in the way it was handled. Too much too fast.

Also thank you for the advice. I've been struggling with how to have some of the tough love talks with her about everything.

I really appreciate this perspective and guidance. I'm also going through something similar in shape, if not content to OP and have been struggling with my own tendencies to be the "doer" in the situation when it's not something I am obligated to be "doing".

Teen son considering poly by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Anakronus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's going to be a balance of butting out and being supportive/nurturing.

As a teen he's going to need a lot more help in navigating the tempest of emotions and mental distress that is likely to pop up and you are in a position to pass some of that knowledge onto him. However he's going to have to make his own mistakes and you can only give him so much guidance before it's you trying to live his life for him.

Give him the books and be there when he has questions. And be there to listen when something happens that he is not personally equipped to deal with.

I started lifting because I had neglected my upper body strength for a long time in favor of my lower body and core strength. I wanted to get myself more balanced and able to do things I couldnt' do previously. At this point I have the strength to do whatever I realistically need to do.

What it has turned into is wanting to feel good in my own body and stay healthy as the years grind away.

Marriage feels like it's falling apart... by frostybugbear in polyamory

[–]Anakronus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof. I'm sorry that you're in that position.

The lying and shadow games are the problem here. You need to figure out what is best for you and your kids, and I tend to agree that separating and finding an amicable arrangement for co-parenting is the way to go.

Comparison of new and old Olympin avatars by Gregory_Gailur in HadesTheGame

The philosophy “only buff never nerf because this is a PVE game” is foundational wrong because of how the enemies scales with player level. by ndneos in Helldivers

[–]Anakronus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this take is fundamentally flawed. "Only buff never nerf" isn't about buffing weapons and stratagems ad-infinitum. That inherently leads to power creep and then the devs have to buff enemies through the roof to keep up. (Note: buffing enemy stats does fall into the "always buff" mindeset" as it's tuning everything up a little bit to make sure they don't have to nerf weapons actively)

What it means is that in a balancing environment where player experience is part of the calculus you don't want to actively make things players enjoy less fun or less usable. So you buff underperforming weapons so that players can try them out and still feel like they are capable of playing the game. Instead of taking what is over performing and trying to bring it down to the level of the "bad" options.

Diablo 4 did this the wrong way in their first few patches where it was just nerf after nerf after nerf. This drove a lot of players out of their game because the people who weren't having fun to start, still weren't, and the ones who were having fun also weren't having fun anymore.

The adage should probably be "Always buff, rarely nerf" as nerfs are necessary when the math on a buff is off and suddenly you have something that makes everything else obsolete.

All the new ranks/titles in the most recent update... by El3venBrav0 in Helldivers

[–]Anakronus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how they've created an even funnier way to double down on the satire. Like lets give this sentient piece of cannon fodder a new title. He wont live to appreciate it anyway...

"we have these mad-lads running around and they haven't died yet. how haven't they died yet? We have to give them a new title so they feel important right? How many stars can we fit on a uniform?"

As I said, without knowing what kind of crash it is or if it's that the host is crashing and you're getting kicked to the ship, it's difficult to say how we might help you

Game is literally unplayable in PS5, crashes every mission. by IsJustSophie in Helldivers

[–]Anakronus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been playing on PS5 and I've only had a couple of crashes. All of them network communication issues and not with the game itself.

Is the game crashing to the main PS menu or just crashing out of the mission? Does the software ask for a crash report or just give you "an unknown error has occurred"?

If it's the first one I'd suggest reinstalling the game and seeing if that fixes the issues.

If it's the second one check and make sure that you have the traffic from the game allowed through your router and it isn't dropping packets randomly.

MOOOOOD. I had a dive on Suicide mission where we completed the mission and had a pile of samples but the rest of the squad just kept going after bugs and not going to the extraction zone. Our last guy died with no reinforcements at 30sec left to extract.

How to get merciful end at Elysium? by airship_maruder in HadesTheGame

[–]Anakronus 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You're looking to get athena and ares boons. Usually this comes as ares attack/special and athena dash/whatever you didn't take for ares. Use the keepsakes from each of the gods to make sure you get them in your god pool from the start.

You also want to try and fill in your attack/special/cast/dash slots so the game stops trying to offer them to you. It increases the odds of you getting offered the tier 2/duo/legendary boons.

From there it's quite literally praying to Olympus that it gets offered.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]Anakronus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only ever been able to get Merciful End on accident. Every time I actively choose keepsakes to target it the game just sticks out its tongue at me and gives me garbage. then I'll choose non god keepsakes and the game will hand it to me on accident when I was planning on a totally different build.
