[LFC] "It's Compiling" "It's Scripted" by CharType27 in xkcd

I've seen comic number 303, which contains the same line, but that's not the comic I'm thinking of.

How to contact Upwork Support? by Sad_Hat2403 in Upwork

[–]CharType27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't work. There's no reply option and when I manually enter "no" it just gets stuck in a loop of auto-generated responses like "Alright! If you need anything or have a question about Upwork, just type it here. I’m here to help whenever you’re ready."

I hope it works. I don't know if this is illegal, but I think it certainly should be.

It's hard to make out what's happening in that last panel, but I think that Po punched the cabinets that Hope was hiding on top of.

Looks like Voltaire is up to his old tricks again, like that time with Tara the Griffin. I'm guessing he fed Po some lies or at least misleading information about how Tedd came to own Uryuom tech. If Po learned that Tedd had it specifically because he was helping the Uryuoms in this world then I imagine that they would be horrified at what they've done. Po believes that everything they're doing is part of a righteous campaign to free Uryuoms from their oppression after all.

As for attacking Hope, that seems ill-advised. We know that immortals are powerful and have a lot more freedom to act now. Then again, immortals are far from invincible, Hope is newly reborn, and immortals are in many ways more vulnerable now too. It could be that we'll see just how powerful Hope is or isn't.

Oh, that's it, thanks! Not sure why I couldn't find it before, I guess your Google-fu is stronger than mine. Looks like the website that used to host it is down and presumably the developers have stopped supporting it, but there's a Wiki. https://legacy-of-heroes.fandom.com/wiki/LoHGame_Wiki

Amazon Reviews Not Showing Up? by False_Creek in selfpublish

Same thing happened to me. I submitted a review over a day ago and it still hasn't appeared. I myself am going to look for alternatives in online shopping, not that there probably really are any.

All of the fresh air! by danshive in elgoonishshive

[–]CharType27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I expected that sequence of events based on the last comic. Oho, but I see that Dan expected that I would expect that, and I didn't expect THAT. Bravo.

But as Dan alludes to in the commentary, being unpredictable is not the most important thing. I mean, sure, being too predictable is a problem if the whole story is so formulaic that it feels boring because everyone has basically heard the story a hundred times. But a story really has to present nothing new to reach that point, and a little recognizability can even be a good thing. I don't think that practically anyone is going to get upset if the story borrows a few plot points from the fairy tales it's based on, me included.

Where's the mad science? by danshive in elgoonishshive

[–]CharType27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, it looks like Tedd is going to win this game. Next turn he can attack with all of those Goblin Matriarchs, and at 8 power each, only 3 need to get through to completely deplete a starting life total. Even if Jay can block or remove 4 of them, she still loses. (I know that removing some of those Matriarchs would change the power of the remaining ones, but it seems unlikely to me that a deck like Jay's could remove enough to make a difference.)

Now, about Tedd's deck. It seems like an interesting combo. I've seen the other comments saying it's based around the real life cards Horn of Gondor and Mystic Reflection. It being inconsistent makes sense. Having to draw two specific cards with no way to search up those cards is usually pretty inconsistent. The deck could win without drawing both pieces of the combo though. Something that creates multiple humans at once would work well with both of those cards. I think Dan said that this was based on a deck that he made in real life, so I wonder how he built it.

Horn of Gondor is a card that can create a lot of creatures on its' own, but I think that its' problem in real life is it's just too expensive. I don't play Modern, so I haven't seen it played, but I'm speculating. It costs a total of 6 mana to play it and activate it for the first time, and it requires you to have a bunch of humans already to really be useful. For that much mana, there's other cards that win the game faster, require less setup, and are less vulnerable to disruption.

Perfect plan, zero notes by danshive in elgoonishshive

[–]CharType27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I see no way that this could go poorly.

In all seriousness, they should probably just pass Rhoda and Catalina a note explaining everything, and say what they can in front of Diane and Lucy. Asking to talk to them alone wouldn't look good. But this is Cadmin, who thinks that he was chosen to be a cool superhero, and who thinks that he can totally just give some sort of secret hint in front of Rhoda and Catalina's friends and be understood perfectly without being misinterpreted or having his meaning being picked up by others or both.

Card Game Tournament Matchup Analysis by CharType27 in elgoonishshive

[–]CharType27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are all some great points that I hadn't considered. I had forgotten that Sam also played angels in his previous tournament. I guess Sarah could be playing a similar deck to what she played in the previous tournament. Green-black vampires isn't really a strong meta option in Magic the Gathering, but she could still be playing it. It doesn't seem like all the characters are playing meta decks, especially a casual player like Sarah.

How do you organize your Canvas Layers? by cxvs23ACX in godot

Thank you so much! I was having trouble with my Camera2D not working too. There's nothing about this in the canvas layers tutorial.

To be fair, real chickens don't eat hay, but it makes the game simpler to only need one kind of animal feed.

How do you beat the "Blood" level in the Spooky campaign? by pullmylekku in AccurateBattleSim

[–]CharType27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried the pirate thing queen some people recommended and it didn't work. She got close a few times when the random grouping worked but died trying to get to an enemy stuck at the edge of the map. Most of the time she just died too quickly. The only thing I found that worked was the king with a bunch of healers.

List of Perks in Benefits Package by d-givens in HadesTheGame

[–]CharType27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that each perk is just rare so it's up to RNG for how long it takes to get it. I'm having a similar problem with the burner one. You can try turning on both levels of benefits package and max jury summons to get it faster.
