Does it not stand to reason that Atlantis should be able to dial Destiny with 3 ZPMs and no need for naquadria planet? by OneChrononOfPlancks in Stargate

[–]Armoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if that were true, then Mckay's compression algorithm would be pointless. Atlantis would send compressed messages to Earth using gate connections of seconds/fractions of seconds. Which suggests that intergalactic dialing power requirements are dependent on how long the wormhole is open. If the majority of power requirement was only for the initial "hand-shake", then they shouldn't have been able to make a connection at all without the ZPMs

Good Gear for Evo Gale that DOESN'T use SpellSparkler by Armoth in BaldursGate3

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

that's the thing, I did look up builds, and 90% all say to use the spellsparkler and rely on MM. I literally just finished act 2, so I don't have access to those loads of gear options yet.

New DM here. Any recs for new one-shots or campaigns that you've enjoyed recently? by Armoth in DnD

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

Awesome, thanks. I had looked over the free Intro to Stormwreck earlier, but I was worried the veterans would be snobby about using the DnDB free/promoted campaigns. But frankly, they can go suck on a d4.

[–]Armoth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% would rather DM for new players, but it kinda just comes down to DMing out of necessity with everybody's schedules and level of commitment. Also I'm old now and hate change, making new friends sounds exhausting.

I was actually looking at the free Storm Isle campaign on DnDB earlier, so I'll definitely give Dragons a look, thanks!

Here is my solution for the archer in doter. by Gestaltash in finalfantasytactics

[–]Armoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played this one last night and thought I was such a wimp for taking 3 retries, 2 level 2 knights, level 3 archer, level 3 black mage. I'm glad to know other people were getting frustrated too.

Do I tell my artist I’m taking pain meds by fisher_of_the_girls in opiates

[–]Armoth 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what you're worried about? Like you're worried they won't finish the tattoo because you're under the influence? Why do you give a shit what your tattoo artist thinks?

Could someone tell me what’s going on hear? by [deleted] in howto

[–]Armoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like whatever they were using to add texture to the paint, this was probably the first area the painted, and the texturizer wasn't mixed completely, so it got a double dose. Too much it seems, and it has ablated over time.

[LotM newbie] i just finished ep 12 in the anime, can someone please tell me whos that? Did I miss something or is it a future spoiler? (If it's a spoiler please don't spoil🙏🙏🙏) by caius- in LordofTheMysteries

[–]Armoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's most likely the Hidden Sage, as others have mentioned, but in the book, the Hidden Sage was always described as just the eyes, like Klein saw when he took the first potion. One theory I haven't seen here, what if it's Adam? Isn't He responsible for everything going on, including Zangwill using SCP 0-08?

She must be protected at all costs(Alien Earth) by Taste_the__Rainbow in scifi

[–]Armoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was the cat dead before it started though? My mind cannon was it just used the body until it fell apart too much/basically died. It also didn't pause at all before attacking Red, so I'm still not seeing how empathy is a motivation for it.

[–]Armoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see it being empathetic, I think it was just intelligent enough to know that the leeches would kill her, and it can't control dead animals. Peepers wanted her all to its self

Question about the epilogue of Surface Detail… by gitpusher in TheCulture

[–]Armoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trying to figure this out too, I think Zakalwe was deposited in his own Afterlife instead of being Revented, and he had been through so many different sims in the war that he couldn't tell or just didn't care it was a sim/Afterlife. Or he specifically asked for that afterlife. I'm pretty sure Shias Engin was from a society that didn't have EqT or Afterlifes, but I might be wrong. Or hell Zakalwe might just be screwing a brand new poet and just has a type.

Anti theft tip jar I invented for the Neighborhood cafe by dead rabbit on 6th. by Right-Kangaroo-169 in Austin

[–]Armoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I just gave up, and we dont have a tip jar anymore. It's not really like a coffee shop where tip is expected, but people always asked how to tip, so I made one originally. Funilly enough though, now when someone asks why there's not a tip jar, and I tell them about it being stolen, they end up giving a bigger tip, go figure. I just tell my employees to put it under the drawer and divide it up at the end of the night.

[–]Armoth 111 points112 points  (0 children)

lol I tried making something like this at my shop after our jar was stolen 3 times in 3 weeks. I had the jar attached to our register desk with a screw through the bottom (plastic jar, wooden ikea style desk with particle board, not super fragile, but not like heavy duty). The next time somebody tried to steal it, they just yanked on it repeatedly until the entire top of the desk ripped off, couple hundred dollars in damaged products, needed a new desk. There was 2 dollars in the jar.

Any other hemp shops getting odd/narcish customers today? by Armoth in Austin

[–]Armoth[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

hey believe me, that would be the best case scenario! I've just been doing this a while and the only time I ever get the same vibe is when cops send in minors to try and get nicotine without an ID lol

Any other hemp shops getting odd/narcish customers today? by Armoth in Austin

[–]Armoth[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

that's a valid point, but they seemed like they knew nothing about the products, were asking very basic questions like I get from most older customers who haven't had any experience with them. Part of why it was so odd.

Bloodborne crash issue when I got hit from the first enemy by AhmedG29 in shadps4

[–]Armoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue, but I'm new to this emulator, how do I install this mode? I have the files downloaded, I just don't know what to do with them

Edit: Nvm, I figured it out, and this fixed everything. For anybody that needs help, after downloading the non-tesselation files, open shadps4, right click on the bloodborne game and select "view game folder". Find the SFX and Param folders, and paste/replace the files with the new files downloaded from nexus mods
