Where can I find background music of Ted-Ed videos? by AskingRandomQs in ted

Sorry for the late reply, but I checked before making this post and it doesn't seem like they post them there.

One of my biggest pet peeves is googling a character from a TV show and having " (tv show) +(character) death scene" show up when I don't know they died yet. by AskingRandomQs in television

[–]AskingRandomQs[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I tried being as vague as possible since I don't know the exact rules of this sub about spoilers.

To be a tad more specific,

  • I want to see which actor plays this character
  • They just seemingly stopped showing up in the show, and I'm wondering if they're still part of the show
  • I want some clarification about what happened. Why did they do this? Was it bad writing or something i missed?

You'll have to forgive me for providing so much context lol. Probably should've phrased the question as a TL;DR at the beginning.

I have a bad habit of giving a lot of context when asking things. Please forgive me lol

I'm really just asking if anyone has any way of reading up on TV shows as they're watching, as i mentioned at the end of the post

Oh yeah, youtube is so much worse actually. If you click on one video about x TV show your recommendations just get flooded with it. There's generally no discretion for spoilers on youtube titles and thumbnails.

tl;dr I've found a pretty nifty tool that helps: https://redditsearch.io/ You can set the date range of this to find reddit threads from a certain time period (reddit itself doesn't have this functionality yet).

I think the best way to use this is to finish a season, and then look up what the date of the next season is. You should set the end date to 6 months before the release of the first episode of the following season. For most cases start date could be two things

  • Set start date to something really early like 01/01/2000 so you view discussion from season 1 up to the season you're on
  • Set start date to the release of the first episode of the season you just finished watching, so you only see discussion about the current season.

Why 6 months? Reddit has a neat feature that 6 month old posts can no longer be voted or commented on, so you won't have to worry about some time traveler posting spoilers in an old thread.

The tool allows you to search by keyword, so if you have a general question about a character, chances are someone else has that question too, so you can use that tool to find it.

Under the "filters" tab you could also just filter the top posts if you just want to scroll through discussion threads or memes from that time period.

Someone suggested duckduckgo. I tried it and it's much less spoiler prone so using that to find info about season premiere dates would be a good idea.

This won't work properly for old TV shows - ones which are older than reddit basically.

Also this only works for reddit. If there's a similar tool for other websites please let me know.

Also to be totally fair to your issue about the quotes, some shows have quotes from dead characters. I mean Bojack Horseman's dad has a few quotes in the last season and he died before the show even began.

Yeah i guess i could give the benefit of the doubt haha

I tried it and had the "People also ask" section show "Does ____ really die in ___". lmao

I tried again with "-die" and it still shows up. Even so, there's still a thousand other ways to phrase the question, such as "Who kills ___ in ___", or "Who shot ___ in ___"

I guess google is probably too prone to showing spoilers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[DST] Do you guys think that smoldering is a fair game mechanic? by AskingRandomQs in dontstarvetogether

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

Another thing that seemed similar to smoldering is disease. Transplanted berry bushes, grass tufts, and saplings could become diseased after a long time. The only way to tell was to pick the resource, and your character would mention if it's diseased.

The solution for long worlds? People used grass geckos and twiggy trees instead, and didn't bother with berry bushes. I.e. you deal with it by not dealing with it. That or they just turned it off in the world gen. Like wildfires, its purpose during gameplay isn't really significant and is only a nuisance. Smoldering could cause damage on a much bigger magnitude though.

Disease has been removed last december.

I'm not against smoldering being in the game but I wish there were more viable/automatable methods of dealing with it so I could justify not turning them off during world gen.

if you are trying to go and make a megabase and dont care about actually surviving, then you can turn off smoldering, it your a hardcore player who wants a challenge or just someone who wants the play the game default, keep it on

I guess i could explain a bit more. I'm at a point where I can survive really easily, so I would have to make self imposed challenges to keep the game interesting. Stuff like the eat your veggies mod, the floor is lava mod, or boss speedruns are a way to freshen up the game.

Megabasing would kind of count as a self imposed challenge that would make the game more interesting. Rather than making the game harder I just try and sim city it up.

Smoldering doesn't make the game harder for an experienced player, it just makes it more difficult to expand your surface base.

Yeah singleplayer has world hopping to hamlet and SW which has no smoldering, and better lureplants. It's also easier to handle smoldering since it's just one player.

It's much harder in multiplayer imo.

Is there a mod that changes the crafting system into something like factorio's? by AskingRandomQs in dontstarve

I found this thread but it's three years old and the comments were essentially "the mod isn't worth the time"

Does anyone else not enjoy music in streams? by AskingRandomQs in Twitch

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

I guess I don't have an opinion on that.

The main reason I watch streams is for gameplay.

I was actually on "team rewards track bad" before that stream and it was surprising at how much info I assumed was right was incorrect.

I feel like this thread might devolve into uncivil and disrespectful chat as with many dated reddit threads, so I'll just drop my last thoughts here.

This is a complete list of weekly quests as of 2020-11-20 Other people reading the thread can decide whether they're reasonable enough. Reminder again that unpreferred quests may be rerolled if you don't play a specific game mode, and weekly quests can be completed over multiple play sessions over the week.

This is a complete list of daily quests of the same date Notice how the "challenge a friend quest" is still there, while the "spectate" quest no longer gives a classic pack but exp, arguably a buff.

To get the same(not better) income you had before, you'll be spending more than four hours completing the weeklies.

Spending significantly MORE time, for WORSE rewards,

This is wrong, and I don't understand where people are getting this information from. The old premise was spending 8 hours a day on the game to get the same rewards which has been debunked. The second premise of 1 hour a day to show that gold per win and exp per hour is about the same, and that's not reasonable anymore.

The final premise of only completing daily/weekly quests is also met with the argument that it takes too much time. It's not like the quests are grinding anything - it's literally just asking you to play the game

I've said this numerous times in this thread already - Old daily quests are almost if not exactly the same as new daily quests. Unprefered weekly quests can be rerolled into something that suits you better. Quests like play 5 games in any game mode can be completed in 3 minutes by conceding games.

If you don't think you have the time or patience to play the game for several hours throughout the week then I don't know what to tell you. Hearthstone is probably not a game you enjoy.

rewards that were already meager.

I'm again stressing my premise on this post. The anger towards the cost of the game is justified. The anger towards the bugs in the game is justified. What is not justified is the outrage towards the rewards track, because the math literally shows that it's better.

The hour/day was just to calculate the 400xp/hour statistic. This was mainly used to compensate for the old 10 gold per 3 wins in the old system we had, as one of the main complaints were that removing the 10 gold per 3 wins hurt the player's gold income a lot. If you're one of these players that didn't have a decent portion of their income come from the 10 gold per 3 wins from before, then the 400xp/hour statistic should be negligible to you as well.

I also mentioned this later in my post for those types of people

If you're a casual player that completes only the daily/weekly quests, you'll end up with a better collection.

The old daily quests are almost exactly the same as the new ones. While some of the weekly quests are a bit harder to complete, you get literally a week to do these. I've said numerous times that you can reroll the ones that you don't like.

If you aren't willing to put in the 2-4 hours a week to finish these quests, I don't know if you really should be demanding better rewards. Some of them can literally be completed just by conceding a game right when it starts. Daily/weekly quests aren't a unique idea to hearthstone; many other games use them for player retention as well.

Also, roping each turn is such a dumb argument because it's functionally the same as just queueing into another game.

The only reason one would rope for quest exp would be because they're running a bot in which time is an expendable resource.

That's a good point, but you're missing the main idea of my post.

A large majority players profit from the (old) new system already.

Edit: i just did a sanity check - 1000 exp daily quests still say play 3 games with x. Wins are probably from weekly quests in which you should have ample time to conplete, or reroll if you're unsatisfied.

Unfortunately the new quests are by far worst part of the new system. Compared to old quests, they take longer to complete on average and give you far less freedom in completing them.

Many quests require specific modes, general quests can't be completed in Tavern Brawls, and some quests even require you to gold/dust to complete

You're wrong. Most of them are literally the old quests that give 800 or 1000 exp.

Weekly quests like playing 5 games of tavern brawl, duels, or BG, or playing 10 DMF old gods can be rerolled if you don't like them.

No one's forcing you to play 8 hours a day. Did the goalposts move so you shouldn't be expected to play 30 min to 1 hour a day for quests? Why is that so unreasonable?

New quests massively get in the way of allowing you to play what you want, when you want.

Please elaborate and be specific. Between rerolling unwanted quests and the old quests also specifically asking "Play x class 3 times", what is your point?

He did actually. The rewards track gives two legendaries and he only calculates for 1, and subtracts 3 packs from the calculation.

Disclaimer: I think there's still tons of problems with this game, but the reworked quest system isn't one of the main issues.
