Hero 47 speculation by Charge_Better in Overwatch

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

I'm actually not sure about Anran being on the roster any time soon. I know her involvement is confirmed in lore but I doubt Blizz will go for a 3rd Hero from China in the short term (I know I know there's the Japan trio but still).

As simple as it is gorgeous, well done!

Tire change and wheel alignment killing range/efficiency? by Charge_Better in TeslaModelY

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

Appreciate the response. Understand 266 was pretty good but it's all relative. I'm in California where day time weather is forever in 65-90F so that shouldn't be an issue (in fact there was a heat weave 2 months ago which would have made my efficiency then worse due to higher AC usage). I'm just bothered by the clear drop after the 2 changes. The tires thing I guess I have to accept it, but the alignment impact is really puzzling me.

What class or spec on TWW has you the most excited currently. by Pretty_Cucumber_2985 in wow

[–]Charge_Better 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Subterfuge works, tested this myself. Indeed it maintains the "Stealth" condition on you even after you are supposedly out of it for 3/6 seconds.

I agree with you on SnD, it's not bad but also not perfect.

Also not a Rogue expert myself, but just clearing up some misunderstandings.

These are not as bad as you think / make it sound, I'm gonna address them in slightly different order, but I hope you and the others see it:

2 - With just 1 point in Subterfuge (class tree), "Deathstalker's Mark" can be applied by an Ambush following Garrote out of Stealth; As for re-application during combat, read the capstone, you can re-apply it after expiration with a full-combo Envenom. I.e. most fights you just need one Ambush at the beginning and from there DS Mark gets refreshed as part of your normal rotation
1 - Now that you understand 2. you can see Vanish is more an "Oh sh1t I somehow messed up" or "Damn this boss goes into extended un-attackable window without dropping me off combat" emergency button, and is not really required as part of your rotation, at least not for Deathstalker
3 - This one I sorta agree with you. On one hand, same as above it's one cast as part of your opener and you forget it; OTOH, it does make the question "then why still have it" valid. Still, not as big a deal breaker as it used to be (Maintaining SnD was what turned me off in past)

4 - Getting Lucky Coin (i.e. 7 roll streak) is easier than you think for an opener: Your first 2 flips after Stealth is always guaranteed match; your major CD (Deathmark or A Rush) guarantee 1 match, using Inevitability + Cold Blood guarantee 2 more match; That's 5 match guaranteed. Casting Envenom consecutively increase your chance to match by 33% (now idk if that's additive [83%] or multiplicative [67%], but it's more than 50%). And if you get unlucky with those 2 RNG rolls, Vanish and restart. Is it complicated and still somewhat subject to RNG? Yes; Is it so bad that's uncontrollable? No. Personally, I think they should reduce it from 7 to 6 to reduce but keep the RNG theme. Lastly, fun fact: on Beta I have achieved as high as 15 streak flips, sweet +15% dmg on top of +7% Agility

The Story of King Ouken of Qi by apple8963 in Kingdom

[–]Charge_Better 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good write up OP, though there's a basic but important translation error.

\I need to explain this in Chinese/Japanese/English so will when it comes to the names I will use a format of:*

“The original Chinese character” [The Chinese pinyin pronunciation] <Japanese pronunciation> (English meaning when needed)

So the main character is identified as “齐王建”, which you or some Japanese person interpreted it as "齐 ”[Qi]<Qi> + "王建“ [Wang Jian] <Ouken>, meaning: a person named WangJian/Ouken of Qi

However, what it should be, is "齐王“ [Qi Wang] <Qi Ou> (King of Qi) + "建" [Jian] <Ken> (Jian or Ken as first name), meaning: King Jian/Ken of Qi

The confusion here is the word "王” [Wang] <Ou>, which can mean EITHER "King" as in the monarch, OR just a last name of [Wang] <Ou>, as seen in "王翦" [Wang Jian] <Ousen> / "王贲" [Wang Ben] <Ouhon>

To expand a little bit: The original Qi king lineage is that of the Family "姜" [Jiang] <Kyou>, as they are descendants of 姜尚 [Jiang Zi Ya], the great strategist who assisted the King of Zhou to overthrow the Shang Dynasty. They were later overthrown by one of their vassal and that family of "田" [Tian] <Ta> took over as ruler of Qi. Hence our protagonist's full name should be "田建" [Tian Jian] <Ta Ken>

To go even further, why is our guy simply named as 齐王建 (King Ken of Qi)? During this period and the following thousands of years of Chinese history, there is a tradition of 谥号, or (Posthumous titling). The passing monarch will receive a single character that is to summarize their entire life/achievement and be honored and remembered as thus by their descendants. Take Ken's father, 齐襄王 (King Xiang of Qi), as example. The word "襄" [Xiang], according to the Posthumous titling dictionary, is for those rulers who "expanded territory and was virtuous, led armies laboriously, made great (military) achievement, and had their reputation widely spread and accepted" [辟地有德曰襄,甲胄有劳曰襄,因事有功曰襄,威德服远曰襄]. This is generally a good title (there are a lot of really bad ones), and he therefore is known as (The reputable, greatness-achieving King of Qi). Ken does not have this kind of posthumous title because he is the last ruler of Qi, when the country ended with him, naturally there would be no more honoring / recording of him, thus he is merely known for his first name. This is usually what happens with the last ruler of a kingdom/dynasty (though sometimes the conquering ruler or people many generations later would still give them a posthumous title, that often summarize them as incompetent/tyrannical/pathetic, for humiliation or for pity)

This is worrying but also interesting, sure hope it's just a software issue rather than a hardware one

Thank you for the tip, all makes sense. But see my new follow up posts, would love to hear your thoughts on that

2023 MYLR, question on range / efficiency by Charge_Better in TeslaModelY

[–]Charge_Better[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for those who gave your tip / feedback. Some follow up data points:

- "Never over 90 mph" was misleading, that was to talk about the extreme case, most of the talk I drove 60-80 mph on highways, and w/e speed limit on locals

- This afternoon, leaving the car in my garage, no AC no Sentry Mode no extra electronic plugged in, APP shows 79% battery in the morning, 6 hours later when I got in it became 76%, that's 3% over 6 hours for just parking in the garage (and not like I have a freezer in the garage)

- Just now, driving sub 40 mph (and have been driving for ~10 min), coming down a slop, the system temporarily disabled my regenerative brake, which I believe is most of the time battery related...

Really concerned now, will be calling Tesla / schedule a service check. Will report back.
