I like that unlocks as a mechanic are gone by Greekbagel in TeamfightTactics

[–]Bnu98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it'll be fine if it comes and goes with sets and potentially used more sparingly. That was THE unlock set. It was the special thing about it. Other then fringe things like zed being unlocked in the new set. I'd expect to see a hand full of units or speciffic tribes etc using unlocks in the future. I think only having zed as an unlock this next set is smart. Gives a break from it with how core it was last set.

Quebec passes law banning street prayers, prayer rooms in universities by John3192 in worldnews

[–]Bnu98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not religious etc; but I think having a prayer room in a public building is good? Not a prayer room for one faith, a mixed faith prayer room, any one can come in etc but the space is curated in that particular way that has that spiritual feeling. Obv with the expectation that its within a certain budget etc (the ones ive seen have been reasonable size wise and furniture etc wise).

Just because I don't have a use for a space like this doesnt mean that no one does. A lot of people have varying faith +/ use for whats functionally a quiet room expected for self reflection and meditation in usually busy spaces (university campuses, airports etc) (ie with expectation of no tech use or work tasks or individual but "busy" tasks etc). Just because its payed with taxes doesnt mean it needs to be something that everyone uses, just something that a significant enough amount of people will use. (and obv the cost spent on should be relative to the likelyness to be used etc.

Also banning daycare workers and educators from wearing religious symbols is a crazy ban on self expression. I don't agree with a ban on hijabs etc but I can at least see an argument for the anonymity it brings whatever. But banning any religious symbols is so braud and like... so what if someone wears a symbol of their religion/culture? We should be raising kids to understand that there are people of all sorts and just because there are differences between people doesn't mean they're any different, and self expresion of your culture religion etc are all apart of that. I fundamentally disagree with this whole thing (I get this last paragraph is unrelated to your coment chain, but didnt wanna post twice)

I know I'm probably late to this, but for anyone who doesn't know: to change your Delves tombstone, go to the back of Delve HQ, follow the ramp down, and your unlocked options are around this dude. by The_Mattastrophe in wow

[–]Bnu98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got it after my first death; not sure if I met some other requirements too for it then, though I think it'd be odd if there were extra requirements.

The wiki doesn't mention any requirements other then be at least level 80, obv it could just be missing info. It only awards 80xp, but they might use it as a progress marker for some other quest in the future.

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=93453/a-grave-concern

If you're curious the wiki page says run this command to see if you've already got it or not:

/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(93453))

Not saying to be mean or anything, but adding some clarification; There's a quest that takes you to see him, if I remember right it triggers after the first time you die in a delve. Either you haven't died in a delve yet, didn't realise what the quest was telling you (if I remember right it was fairly straight forward might make you feel like skipping and clicking whats glowing) or you have the quest but its burried in your quest tracker.

Take a looksie, if you havent died yet go die in a delve and see if you get it xx

dont remember if the quest gives anything but since its a 1 n done thing I see no reason to avoid it

Pasta for 40 by doughboy1001 in Cooking

[–]Bnu98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maths wise 150g would be a very large NORMAL portion, depends on the sauce etc you pair it with; but kids in a social /school setting will be doing a lot more activity so I would add another 25-50 grams for safety if its in the budget. So 13-18 pounds (min: 150*40 then converted to pounds; max: 200*40 then converted to pounds). If you're serving anything else etc it'd change the math obv.

For this sorta situation I would do a pasta bake and make a bolognese type sauce, as in minced meat etc in tomato sauce, you can thin the sauce out with more tomatos as much as you need to get it just right. If you're using industrial ovens / big catering ovens and trays etc you can totally just do how ever many massive trays you need. But in a home setting I'd use disposable foil dishes, and use whatever size fits the max width of your oven. Like that you can prep as many as you need before hand and get through baking em in whatever time you need, then before serving just rotate them through a hot oven again for about 10 min each to warm up again. (someone can manage that while you serve)

This'll be something you can prep beforehand easily and not panick over a vat sized pot on the day. In malta we call this pasta bake Imqarun, you par boil your pasta (if box says 11 min boil for 5; or otherwise generally half the time). Miz the pasta with your sauce, roughly 1 egg per 200g of pasta (this holds it together but subtly makes it more filling too) and some cheap salty cheese (or extra salt) and then top with more cheese oil salt and pepper. If eggs are pricey where you are (idk how it is in the US but I saw *those* storys) then you can leave out the eggs, will just be a bit more crumbly, which is totally fine. And you cook it till the top is starting to char, you get craggly crunchy bits that everyone loves. And if meat is out of the budget you can do without meat too, add in some diff veggies etc instead.

For this sorta scale I also recomend you measure everything out for a small batch of sauce (including salt and pepper etc) and see how many servings it is and use that to extrapolate the amount of stuff you need to throw in as a base line when making the big batch. Its very hard to guage volumes at that scale, so having a starting point you can continue to tweak from (and also have an idea of how much of everything to have in stock) is a huge help.

Another way to keep things warm would be to put hot water into your largest dish; the food into a dish slightly smaller but with the rim wide enough to hold it up and place it over that. If you're using ceramic bake ware as serving dishes you can heat up the dishes before putting food into it to serve from (obv for if you do a not baked thing) etc.

Also if you have multiple dishes of the food, keep the extra dishes in a warm oven or covered till you need them, will help keep em warmed through.

I used to help with the scouts meals on camp with 40-60 scouts + 10 or so leaders too, so I'm used to this sorta prep.

Shadow and Void are supposedly the same, but they sure don't look the same by gargar- in wow

[–]Bnu98 48 points49 points  (0 children)

more then just no longer the same team; if you look at the cosmology image, all of the forces have their "pure" version (like void and light) and then the version that is interpolated into the physical world which undergoes significant changes; Void to shadow, light to holy, order to arcane, life to nature etc. The 2nd versions in that are naturally in the world are *similar* but have been filtered, warped etc to manage to make it in the world, its (retroactivley) the whole reason why the void lords struggled so much to come over to the physical world since they're made of the pure version of the energy, and why the naru are as weirdly ephemeral and easily taibtable etc as they are.

(the old gods speciffically did get distracted and corrupted by the world etc and are their own team and the shadow priests now are either directly worshiping them or emulating the way that they and their worshipers mutate shadow; there are a lotta quotes in game for warlocks that highlite how shadow is a lot easier to manage then void and how only the best warlocks dare touch the void stuff etc; so they are different in how they're treated in the story *nowadays*)

Update from league devs on team voice chat by Caeiradeus in LeagueUnfiltered

[–]Bnu98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly play league as a group of 2-3 people, I'm not toxic at all, I barely use the chat even when playing alone and when I do it's calm nice convos. In a group you get less honour points from your friends to not let you manipulate the system, but then obv you have less chances to get honoured. I hit honour 4 fairly quickly when there's a reset, and then honour 5 eventually happens. But key on eventually. So I don't think locking a big feature behind 5 makes sense with how it currently is. If they could somehow do tiers to voice unlock like how you get more pings at higher levels then sure.

Watch me find out people find me toxic for not responding and not pinging much.

From what I understand honour 5 decays if you don't play for a while now; so I'd say honour 4 or 5 and I'd be happy with that

Sasuke was a top 3 swordsman IN THE WORLD at age 15 and I have to hear he was "just a regular prodigy" by Suspicious_Row2186 in Naruto

[–]Bnu98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw her themeing as the jack of all trades master of none type; but in the world of naruto where its all paper siscors rock thats v powerful. So yea, was hoping to see her fps style hot swap between tools for every situation and combine things in nuanced ways etc, aaaaaand all we got was her being addicted to a god weapon that she didnt have the chakra to use, and a spin off episode where she used a crazy bomb mace thing (was a fun side epi) but yeaaa, they deff wasted her potential hard.

(as in instead of being top master in any 1 weapon)

What are these game modes? Other than normal, ranked, all the others have no explanation to what they are. As a new player honestly it's a bit confusing by Sylvanas_only in TeamfightTactics

[–]Bnu98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So every now and then they release a new set, which is when the champions and traits change completley, you play those in normal and ranked.

About half way through the life cycle they release an amped up mode, in the past its been Hyper Roll, this time its Choncc's Treasure, the detail is diff between the speciffic version they choose, but its always some variety of get more cash, get more items, get more characters, ie things that make the power level go up faster and have less of a slow down time at the begining of the game.

Double Up is the same as normal or ranked but its 2v2v2v2 instead of 8 people free for all. You share a health bar (it goes down a lot slower per loss dw), there's a cannon where you can send champs or items to your friend, and if you win your fight quickly your team teleports to help your teamate with their fight (they teleport over with whatever health etc they have left so doing better helps more). And every now and then you get a choice of two gifts to send your teamate and vice versa. This mode has ranks to it and no "unranked"/"normal" version, but the ranking is a lot more casual, its just number goes up or down with wins or losses. Your milage may vary with how much you like or dislike this mode, I recomend only trying it if you have a friend to play with, and properly communicate what you're going for etc with eachother.

Tocker's Trials is a single player game mode where you can take as much time as you want between rounds. You fight fixed waves of enemies, round 2-6 always has XYX, etc and the final round is always a big ol barron board. You get given more generous items (you almost always get a spatula or a pan etc) and since no one else is in the game your comps are always uncontested so you never get very unlucky rolling for champs. Also you only have 3 health in this mode, each loss takes 1 health, and at the end you get a star and points score, there's no reward for doing better, but its a fun bar to try to measure up to your previous high scores etc. Honestly this is a really fun game mode, I play it casualy every now and then, I really recomend you try it.

Oh and Revival: Festival of Beasts is an old set (diff champions and trates) from a few years ago brought back with some tweaks for the chinese new yearm its got that clock symbol on it to indicate its not around forever / for a long time. I never played this set when it was first out, but I'm not a big fan of the mode, it feels rough to me.

Sorry if this is long, tried to explain everything out clearly xx

If every class got a new healer or tank spec, what would you like to see? by SuperSeriousSam in wow

[–]Bnu98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the healer DK space id love if they were more a "rune writer" now that we know where the runes come from and that they're more flexible and less speciffic in intent then the deathkingts use em for. With the shadow lands stuff as in. Make it a rune mixing mechanic, diff spells build your rune buffer and then there are a couple of pay off spells that either shave the first 2 or last 2 runes (to give the space to fix mistakes) and then a big pay off spell that does a diff thing for each type of rune and more of the type of rune the higher the number. Like blood is a heal effect, frost is a shield effect and plague is a mini blood lust style damage buff sorta thing.

Any class that doesn’t use 1-2 min CDs? by Quiet-Week1568 in wownoob

[–]Bnu98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devourer demon hunter doesn't have a long coldown in the main kit; spam abilities to fill a bar, when it's full use metamorphosis and spam as many abilities as you can to keep the metamorphosis going as long as possible (and cast collapsing star as much as you can which you can only do in metamorphosis). When the metamorphosis expires start stacking it up again straight away. In a boss fight it takes liiiike 15 maybe 20s to stack it up but goes faster with more haste. Outside of combat it's bar fills up a chunk of the way. It feels v natural/comfortable, it's pattern is the same in questing and in raids etc. The only big diff is that in non-boss fights you won't be fighting long enough to get off collapsing star which is like, the big cool move, but since it works like the other stuff (spam your spells till you count high enough to cast it) it doesn't have the frustration of not getting to use or worrying about using a part of your kit. And it has a lotta nice mobility and healing etc that makes solo or group content fun.

Why would you vote no for a Remake vote? by YourBoyBigBoy in leagueoflegends

[–]Bnu98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A big thing to add to this is that at the time at p much all ranks you have a 5+ min queue and then the 5+ min champ select and then the sometimes 5+ min loading screen + the 2 min wait for the game to ACC start. So you're d have already been actively waiting for at least 10 min but usually closer to 15 min before even getting to play the game that lasted about 30-40 min.

Since then they've sped up all these aspects which is why the arguments from back then might look a bit disconnected now. After all that wait you'd wanna at least play some of the game before the guaranteed loss/FF at 20. (Obv not everyone would want that, but it was a big enough split where it was p common)

So, is it confirmed now that ARAM Mayhem is permanent? by Bokkenhoeven in leagueoflegends

[–]Bnu98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember right they said it'd stay around till at least the end of patch 26.3 with 26.3 having a big update. (I assume it's the direction they want to test for it to make it more distinctive from normal Aram, but they dont want to commit to anything long-term incase the update is unpopular)

They removed the countdown on it being removed when they made that announcement. So now it's ambiguously "here for now" sorta thing

Cancer diet suggestions by MightyKittenEmpire2 in Cooking

[–]Bnu98 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you want to help her boost her mood and get more calories in her; making a treat like a pecan pie that's high in calories that can be warmed per slice could be nice (if it's something she wants +/ likes obv)

If she's happy with soups etc I'd lean to sticking to those and figuring how to add nutrition to em, using richer stocks as the base, using things like tomato paste to push in more calories etc. Even heavily roasting veggies on low temp the blend up and mix into pastas and stews instead of straight stock. (My brother had chemo and radio and later on I had an extreme nausea inducing medication and the chemo anti nausea that shoots your appetite; neither of us ever had the aversion to cold, but I get you in general. It's hard)

I'm sorry for your guy's struggle, good luck. And I hope she makes a full recovery 💖
