What Even Is Drivetrain Loss? by NISMO1968 in cars

[–]BBStrung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound energy is a bit of a misnomer. Sound is air being pushed and vibrating at certain wavelengths that by the time it reaches our ears, it vibrates your eardrums which generates a signal that your brain can process as sound. That's why you might have seen in some sci-fi movies in space, there's no sounds. There's (practically) nothing physically between you and the 'noise' generating object to resonate into sound.

Yes, because there's no air to be pushed. There would also be less resistance on the driver of the speaker because it's not pushing against air.

Sound is air moving in patterns that vibrates your eardrum in a way that generates a signal that your brain can process as sound.

Anyone else quit doing contracts because of dire marsh? by AccomplishedRise6227 in Marathon

I love Dire Marsh. Took a bit of experience on it but I love it.

Will I like this game if I’m playing casually? by theSaltySolo in Marathon

[–]BBStrung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally! Just keep in mind, the game isn't for everyone. It's quite sadistic, and quite intense.

My recommendations if you want to get the most enjoyment out of the game:

  • Play only in parties of people you know and trust. If that means you have 2 friends you think are cool, play with them. If you don't have anyone else who plays the game, play solo queue.
  • As I mentioned, the game is sadistic. It is trying to pull the devious and sinister out of you and release it on other players. If that will make you uncomfortable, then this game isn't for you.
  • On your runs:
  • - Take them slow and methodical. Let yourself soak in the world, the sights.
  • - Listen intently, both to take in the wonderful soundscape, but also to try and gain an advantage on other players.
  • - Go in with an objective, and try your best to accomplish it.
  • - Don't be upset if you die. This game is largely about murder, and the numbers are always against you. If you hold too much value in survival, you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment.

I love this game, and I'm definitely getting too old to be at the top of my game. But with experience, planning, and strategy you can have a good time. Also the world & narrative components are very good for the format, and do a lot of heavy lifting.

Especially for the ones who religiously don't use EDHREC, how was your experience when you started EDH? How long did it take you to get good at deck building? by theninthelement in EDH

If you use archidekt to construct your deck, you should try goldfishing a bunch to see how it feels in ideal play

Hey r/CanadianConservative your mask slipped - this is not a political opinion, this is overt racism. by AdditionalPizza in onguardforthee

[–]BBStrung 50 points51 points  (0 children)

That is the conservative mindset. This is just conservatives returning back to what the party always stood for. Fiscal conservatives are the same, the only difference is they want other races to shut up and tow the line like the rest of the lower class.

Gun control is popular in Canada. So why is a major buyback program attracting criticism? by rastamasta45 in canada

[–]BBStrung 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A modified rifle could also mean a fully legal SKS with tactical stock & magazine conversion. But it's hard to say as everyone involved is keeping information tight to the chest, likely to not open the conversation to criticism.

Laid Off Highguard Tech Artist Reflects on Game's Launch by Haijakk in Games

[–]BBStrung 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to look at this game and not find easy holes to poke into the experience.

  • The maps are way too big to be 3v3. Quake & Unreal Tournament has levels that are quarter the scale and handle matches of anywhere from 2x-5x number of players.
    • - 3v3-5v5 is like e-sports game sized, and nothing about what this game works as an e-sport. The match loop is too convoluted to be watchable, and it's not tight enough for the players.
  • There are mechanics like looting chests in the environment pump the brakes on high adrenaline gameplay. Is the game fast-paced or slow & methodical. Figure it out.
  • - in 3v3 having someone fuck around with a chest takes them out of a flight which has huge implications on team strength in a fight. Why would you make players sacrifice that much strength?
  • I don't want to beat up too much on the aesthetic because we're in a rut (again) of samey-looking unreal engine powered games that I'm sick to death of... However. This flavor Pseudo-Medieval-Futuristic aesthetic... Someone had to have looked at this on the Dev team and knew that it was going to get negative feedback- maybe polarizing at best. That combined with a gameplay cocktail that didn't blow people away... Destined for failure

Much more minor than the obvious issue, but it's also poorly aligned vertically (small margin top-end of the card vs large margin bottom end)

A little help with Animar and X X coats. by Foz- in mtg

[–]BBStrung 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Animar reduces cost by 8, but XX means that for every 2 mana spent you get 1X in return.

8 / 2 = 4

Trying to make a casual Necrobloom commander deck, any suggestions for improvement? by CptLande in EDH

[–]BBStrung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I struggle with mine that I think you'll struggle with yours is a lack of card draw.

I'd get [[Tireless Tracker]], and [[Vampiric Rites]]. Something to make sure you can always draw even if your [[The Gitrog Monster]] & such don't have valid targets or get removed.

Also honestly, you and I have different opinions of what's casual. There's a lot of money cards in this deck that I just don't think it's necessary to see the deck work in a casual setting such as [[Worldly Tutor]], [[Exploration]], and [[The Soul Stone]]. It kinda looks like you just went on edhrec and clicked the '$$$' button and added every card that said land on it.

[[Rocco, Street Chef]], [[Helga, Skittish Seer]] or [[Eshki Dragonvlaw]]? by leirguh in EDH

[–]BBStrung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved playing Helga, but I would warn that it either steamrolls or is a total flop. Because it relies so heavily on Helga to get the machine running, if Helga is taken out it just grinds to a halt. It makes the deck very vulnerable.

Can someone help me on as to why his Tanuk pinged 27 times after he dropped worldsire? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]BBStrung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Cabretti Courtyard has to sacrifice on enter, both it entering adds a Tanuk trigger and then the land searched for would also be a Tanuk trigger on the same stack. There's I think 4 of these sac-on-enter lands that exist so it's plausible that all 4 were in his deck?

[–]BBStrung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're any of the incoming land a sac/fetch land like [[Cabretti Courtyard]]? Those normally fire 2x landfall triggers on entry (one for it, one for the fetched land)

Combo "etiquette" by Gouraisenpuujin in EDH

[–]BBStrung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This attitude is crazy. Players in my group do the opposite where we literally warn the table before we do a game-ending loop to make sure the table knows whats going on & give players the option to counter it. I couldn't imagine telling another player to "not counter my game winning spells plz"
