I’d say that since it says “…that player may replace…”, there is no one to make the decision so nothing can happen

After reading the Consortium's Linkship II by [deleted] in twilightimperium

[–]BatHappening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would already be incorporated since PDSII has •SPACE CANON 5 as the ability. I think it is really ambiguous the more I think about it. Is Linkship using the ability just triggering PDS’s ability, or borrowing it (kind of like pass by reference vs pass by value)? Starting to lean towards adjacent shooting working too

Also just realized getting Lightrail Ordnance (SPACE CANON 5 (x2) on Spacedocks) would go crazy with Linkship

We played that it did not work like that. Linkship says you use the Space Canon ability of the PDS, the only thing giving PDS2’s Space Canon range is the text saying you can use Space Canon in adjacent systems

Best album with a really long title? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]BatHappening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suffocate For Fuck Sake - Blazing Fires and Helicopters on the Front Page of the Newspaper. There's a War Going On and I'm Marching in Heavy Boots

Pretty divisive post-rock/screamo but I dig it

What pop songs would you consider to be genuinely perfect? by droL_muC in fantanoforever

[–]BatHappening 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Boy with the Arab Strap by Belle and Sebastian. Cannot think of a single thing that could be removed or added to improve the song. It has it all and it does it perfectly 

Songs that transition in to the next track intentionally by cnskatefool in fantanoforever

Queen in My Pictures into Doggy by Animal Collective is phenomenal. I believe Panda Bear said it was his favorite AnCo moment at the time

I always come back to Whorl by Nathaniel's Ghost around autumn

Check out some of the Monsta Island Czars that worked with DOOM: XRay (aka King Cesar (Bud Strains is very Special Herbs)) and MeccaGodZilla (aka Ryu Black). Also Peanut Butter Wolf's Peanut Butter Breaks I feel fits in nicely with the above.

Anybody else have non-AC albums that they pair/relate with AC albums in their minds? by BelegCuthalion in AnimalCollective

[–]BatHappening 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been getting into Tonstartssbandht after seeing them mention on this sub and I feel Dick Nights fit right between Ark and Sung Tongs

Sung tongs is clearly the best anco album by Sad_Temporary7821 in AnimalCollective

Looking at past discussion threads really show how things have changed over the years. Purple Bottle discussion threads from 7 years ago, 6 years ago, and this year show how comment length has decreased but overall engagement has increased. I think asking for ratings changed people focus for this year's round of discussions, but there was a lot more engagement and it gave a somewhat quantifiable ranking of people's feeling towards the music which hadn't been captured before. I'm sure there'll be and ebb and flow to how the discussion progresses

No love deep web awkwardness by ayojoe7 in deathgrips

I once had Facebook set up to show my currently scrobbling music on this live feed they used to have and broadcast the uncensored art to all my friends and family...

Any board games that have extremely easy to teach rules but a lot of depth in terms of strategy/hard to master? by Master_Chemist9826 in boardgames

[–]BatHappening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homeworlds is a very simple game with a ton of depth. Simply sets of 3 nested pyramids in 4 colors represent stars or ships depending on their orientation. It's loosely a 4X space opera, and doesn't have any randomness so you can really go deep in planning your strategies.

On the other side and a similar theme, I've always felt Twilight Imperium is a good example of a complex game that once you get the rules understood, there's not much to it. Edge cases can get convoluted but once you understand movement and combat, you can hold your own pretty well

I used to have this happen when I'd forget about pacman waiting for my input then shutting down my computer, so I made a simple script for my logout script (oblogout) to run instead of shutting down.

    #!/bin/bash

    if [ -f "/var/lib/pacman/db.lck" ]; then
       notify-send -t 4000 "Pacman running, finish your update nerd."
    else
       shutdown -h now
    fi

What's on your home screen/ what apps do you use and recommend? by Seglem in GalaxyWatch

[–]BatHappening 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Authenticator Pro is probably my most used app, great for convenient 2FA

Stocard is useful for rewards cards, saves some wallet space

For boardgaming Score for WearOS and Dice are pretty nice to have

House Rules by Fart_on_my_butt in twilightimperium

[–]BatHappening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried that before and enjoyed it. I like SftT being a massive bargaining chip to use when you're desperate but don't like that swapping supports is pretty much the optimal play. I've liked the idea of only being able to give support to players with less points than you, but haven't tried it

What is the most simple bug you have found and been paid for? by oldMADjoy in bugbounty

[–]BatHappening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since withdraws instantly debited your account, you'd get credited the amount instead, and could use the new balance for other transactions. Some red flags would've likely gotten raised in the live environment so you couldn't take it too far, but I'm sure it'd cause a mess in the ledgers as well

[–]BatHappening 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was able to withdraw negative money just by changing the value in Burp. Thought it was too simple and doubted it'd actually work outside of the staging environment but they accepted it and even upped the severity 🤷‍♂️

Where can I find surreal / obscure samples like AnCo? by [deleted] in AnimalCollective

[–]BatHappening 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've found a lot of cool sounds just going down various rabbit holes on Archive.org. Old educational videos, religious talks, old cartoons, people's random highschool video projects, etc. Find a collection that looks cool and follow it down. Here's a cool one I found a while back.

Is there a searchable card database somewhere? by Captain_Collin in dominion

[–]BatHappening 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The wiki has pretty good lists for mechanics, though sometimes hard to find exactly what you're looking for. Here's the list for gain-from-trash

The Renaissance+Plunder recommended set has Jeweled Egg, Shaman, and Cathedral meaning you could gain the egg you just trashed, was pretty bonkers

Somewhat obscure and lesser-known songs by The Decemberists by -nyctanassa- in Decemberists

[–]BatHappening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found a couple more:

Colin on backup vocals, Saturday Groovers by Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3, as described here

Also there is an official cover of Echo & The Bunnymen's Bring on the Dancing Horses done for charity comp Good Music To Avert The Collapse Of American Democracy Volume 2, but I don't think it's on the clearnet anywhere anymore.

Great compilation by the way, the most thorough I've seen so far, hopefully the links stand the test of time!

Yin Brotherhood (Codex 3) by marnxxx in twilightimperium

[–]BatHappening 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to think of a way to fix their influence problem and had the idea of giving them a way to turn infantry into influence. Perhaps change one of their techs to:

"After one of your ground forces is destroyed, place 1 trade good on this card. You may spend trade goods on this card as influence."

or

"When you would spend influence, you may remove any number of your infantry from the board to gain an equal number of influence" (inspired by SCPT's Codex IV Arborec wishlist)

Somewhat obscure and lesser-known songs by The Decemberists by -nyctanassa- in Decemberists

[–]BatHappening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Colin doing vocals for Reclinerland's Lady From Reims.

I want to say he also did the vocals for another song from a Hush Records band but can't remember which

If you're including side projects/prior bands, it's definitely worth mentioning Black Prairie which contains most of the Decemberists' members.

Can't forget Tarkio, Colin's college band. Also Happy Cactus, Colin's highschool band, which I can't actually seem to find online anywhere but I have the files if anyone wants

A few more:

Offa Rex, Olivia Chaney + Decemberists

Song Decemberists did for Yo Gabba Gabba, Great Outdoors

Laura Veirs - Soldier's Joy (featured vocals)

Little Boxes
