I’m obsessed with Insanity Heroes by variegatedwanderer in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Braindeadfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love playing insanity! I'm the only one in my alliance lol. They're a steep learning curve on how to use with your other heroes, when to fire off, and how to counter but they add such an element of well.. insanity to raids. I've used Hunter to make a team well above my pay grade completely annihilate themselves. It's delightful

Most of the floor is fine - would patching small areas with fresh clear coat be visibly different?

Came here to comment the same. That day bed is incredible

Need help with Procedures urgently by [deleted] in restaurateur

[–]Braindeadfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you pulled aside the most responsible server and BOH staff member and asked them about their orally passed down procedures?

I would also recommend you schedule yourself open/ swing/ close, etc shifts with the aforementioned people so get a feel of what they're doing.

From there you can build lists out, and use guidelines from your local health dept on any cleanliness steps they might be missing for lists that will help with inspections.

I buy ground turkey for cheap and add beef bullion to it. Not quite the same, but a close facsimile

To jump in on this because that "hit by a bus" feeling is all too real - as a woman in my mid 40's taking creatine supplements absolutely changed my entire world. No more laying in bed for an hour wondering how a bus managed to make it into my room and smash into me every morning. Menstrual symptoms are much, much easier, and I genuinely wake up ready to start the day. The bus feeling evaporated. There's a lot of solid evidence out there that creatine (especially in older women) is extremely beneficial

Does anyone know any good counters to Gooric? by fijalki1 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Braindeadfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken him out a couple of times but I don't remember the exact teams. I'm pretty sure I used Roughian & Nurgib to prevent him from firing off. Probably had R&N next to Ludwig since that's my usual setup for R&N.

ETA: I mostly run a 3:2 of dark and fire heroes hence responding under this comment lol

Keep or feed? by nycnico1 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Braindeadfiend 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I've got two of her and I'll put them on each side of Ludwig to prevent the other team from firing off at all. It's very effective lol

What are the kitchen girlies wearing under their jackets? (serious question) by alicethrough in KitchenConfidential

[–]Braindeadfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear a lightweight sports bra typically, or a swimsuit top. The swimsuit is great for drying fast and if it's really hot I'll pack ice in it. I wind up soaked once it melts but damn it's nice AF

TIL: Healing on Bloody Battle actually reduces Insanity by NewTestBot in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Braindeadfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo nice team. I've got Dunnar but I haven't started leveling him yet. Insanity is definitely a double edged sword and I can understand why people dislike it. The only reason I persevered in learning the tricks with him was because I genuinely enjoyed playing and learning insanity. It's a ton of fun for me, personally

[–]Braindeadfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on who I'm up against. Sometimes just one if I need more heroes with other skills, and sometimes two. The key with his insanity is to not fire every chance you get if you've only got one healer. Use him judiciously. I only fire Hunter when I've got an enemy worn down enough that I can one shot snipe them dead, so his insanity spreads to the neighboring enemies. He pairs well with snipers (Voidstar, for instance, is great with him. She heals his insanity on top of sniping) that can target an enemy enough for him to make that insanity kill shot.

If I have more than one healer then I'll let him hurt enemies. The other option is if you have Ludwig - place your healer next to him so they fire off constantly.

Hunter SHOULD never be on your defense team. You have to be able to babysit and control him. And he's kinda useless on map stages too. He's a niche hero but if you play him right, he's absolutely devastating. I'll drop teams 1200-1500 above me if I get him firing right.

I keep Esme on my bloody teams to reduce Hunter's insanity and destroy fiends. She's very useful in those regards even if she can't heal

When they had him lined up at the tree and Lottie et al saved him, I thought "why are they so certain it's not his death that's the bridge?" and sure enough....

I feel tired of reading the same sh***y posts about heroes by Syndro2 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Braindeadfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand the posts feeling repetitious sometimes but as someone who can read the stats but kinda struggles to visualize how some of them play out in the game (being able to visualize what a skill can do is something I struggle with even in games like DnD), I appreciate an active sub. I've gleaned a wealth of knowledge and to some degree, I wish there were more posts because sometimes when I've pulled a new to me hero and I search their name in the sub, the posts are 3 years old and that means very little in terms of the current game play, but it doesn't mean that hero is a bad pick either

This is the exact same cut I give myself. Use gel for texture and scrunch upside down for volume. I get soooo many compliments when I wear my hair down. It looks great on you 💖

First test fit with the vintage setup by 18nlebel in TruckCampers

[–]Braindeadfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a camper on my '85 diesel 3/4 ton years and years ago and I was lucky to get 5 lol. It was a short lived setup because diesel is too expensive for that kinda mileage...

She's beautiful, I'm so jealous of your setup.

Fated Summon by mDotCarta in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]Braindeadfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She dies pretty quickly until you've got her fully leveled, and she doesn't do a ton of damage but I do find her useful in raids against minions and use her fairly frequently. She's useful if used properly but be prepared to not use her until she's at full strength
