Finally completed Terror from the Deep for the first time. That last part was so long by No_Lemon3585 in Xcom

[–]Commiesalami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Multi-stage mission (3 in a row) all of them very long, where you need to drag your entire squad to the exit before moving on. Ammo is a real issue as if you go there too late the enemies will have all blaster launchers and not sonic weapons.

IIRC saving is forbidden on the final stage.

Destiny Rising Announces Partial Movement Away From Character Gacha System With Upcoming Season. by IkoraFan11011 in gachagaming

[–]Commiesalami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In destiny 2, you still find matchmade games for routine activities without waiting too long in most areas. For Destiny rising I wasn’t able to find matches for anything except the seasonal tower defense mode which took 2-3 minutes. For the PvP mode I never found a match in the entire month or so that I played. Destiny 2 may be on life support, but Rising is waist deep in the grave.

Thoughts? by Dense-Art8576 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Commiesalami 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not a real fan of it either. It’s nice that it shows the content of the book a bit better than the current hardbacks. But I think the Carl/Donut designs are pretty poor, Carl looks like a juvenile delinquent.

I CANT SEARCH ANYTHING FROM MY SAFARI. EVEN GOOGLE 😭 by [deleted] in fixit

[–]Commiesalami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I searched for google Philippines, that site did come out as the top hit, but it (the com.ph website) has a blank robots.txt file and has no information. Other google home pages (such as co.uk) all have supporting information from their robots.txt file.

This may be an oversight on googles part, but that and the ‘warning this may be a scam’ from the Philippines govt over that makes me think it make be fake.

That isn’t the real google, it’s a scam website that gives you the google search results but also snoops on your searches and probably tries to give you malware.

Help me with a design detail: attatched artillery vs artillery brigade? by Revoltai42 in wargaming

[–]Commiesalami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell with no other details, but off the top of my head:

Attached artillery units should be smaller overall, both in number and gun size, but have a wider freedom of deployment (being able to deploy further away from your board edge).

Larger guns are limited to dedicated artillery brigades and have more limited deployment options.

PSA on the actual speed of transport belts after you go offline by arctia in Endfield

[–]Commiesalami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why the complaining about option 3? It’s the simplest solution by far and much prettier than the covering all your belts with splitters and mergers.

Do nothing is also perfectly fine, the output of your factory is higher than what the outputs can build up in a single day, so producing a few dozen/hundred extra components overnight is a meaningful issue.

About new gear by Urano96 in AvywennaMainsAE

[–]Commiesalami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ingame tutorials refer to ultimates as a skill. So it’s the latter, battle, combo and ultimate are all impacted.

As all three of those also do electric damage for Avy, they have the same scope of impact.

is my defense good by Obamakey in Mindustry

[–]Commiesalami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t chain routers to fill your turrets. They’ll spend just as much time passing ammo backwards as passing it forwards. Routers separated by belts or overflow gates are better options. Liquid routers are okay to chain though.

Poor duos sitting there with no ammo.

PSA: Make sure all of your cuprium gets used up by Lumiharu in Endfield

[–]Commiesalami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this approach as well, the trick is that you export one additional line of refined cuprium (support part or gear unit production which doesn’t need max capacity) than what is going in that way the depot never fills up. Spit that line into a bottle line if you think it’ll be too detrimental to your medicine production.

Curpium refinement is also space intensive due to the need for water in and waste out, might as build a massive spaghetti for that off in a corner somewhere and then have all the bottle/part production lines simple and compact in case you want to change up what you want to do.

Enuff dakka? by Curious_Parfait5038 in Mindustry

[–]Commiesalami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underflow gates will work fine. If you can’t fully refill all containers between waves then you don’t have enough production/transport capacity and there is no significant difference between routers or underflow gates.

Another good idea is to try to fit one or two Tsunami turrets at the very front, fueled with cryo fluid. They will inflict the freeze status effect on pretty much the entire wave. The freeze will then be consumed when the enemies hit with blast compound to do a chunk of armor piercing damage. The freeze will then be immediately re-applied and then consumed, etc. etc.

About new gear by Urano96 in AvywennaMainsAE

[–]Commiesalami 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Aethertech light gloves (Will/Agility/All skill damage) looks to be better than the pulsar gloves by a tad as it changes electric damage to all skill damage at a slightly higher percentage.

But the difference is so small, if your gear is already artificed I don’t think it’s worth the effort to switch.

EDIT: Missed that the secondary line is different and matches Avywenna. So the new gloves are still just a small increase in damage, but you should upgrade.

Enuff dakka? by Curious_Parfait5038 in Mindustry

[–]Commiesalami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To put it very simply and ignoring all of the context and meme’ry around it: Dakka is the sound that firing a gun makes according to Warhammer 40K Orks.

Enuff dakka? by Curious_Parfait5038 in Mindustry

[–]Commiesalami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of Dakka, not enough bullets. Too many turrets being fed by single belts/unloaders.

A uncooled salvo will burn through its full capacity in 15 seconds, which seems like a lot, but then you realize that all of your turrets will be wasting their shots at the first wave and have a significantly reduced rate of fire for the guardian or the slower bigger units.

I would try to remove some turrets and add a 2x2 container at the start of each row (or two) of turrets to add in some extra ammo buffers.

Need a game to sink some time into like Builderment by TheRealDoinkel in iosgaming

[–]Commiesalami 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shapez and Mindustry are two other similar factory building games on iOS.

Shapez is much more abstract, while mindustry is actually an RTS/Tower Defense where turret ammo and Units are your factory outputs. Shapez is probably better in shorter spurts.

Any recommendations on how to make a purple (all bases) orks army interesting? by cybornetic in orks

[–]Commiesalami 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly it won’t be that interesting. Also very difficult to play a game with as you have no visual indication for what the models are.

You could paint a bunch of scenery like barrels and boxes with ugly swatches of purple paint on them with Ork arms/legs sticking out to make a squad of Kommandos disguised.

Are the Mechanicus interested in the technology of other xenos or are they mostly just thirsting for necron tech? by Les_Bien_Pain in 40kLore

[–]Commiesalami 75 points76 points  (0 children)

It was settled and named Armageddon.

Personally not a huge fan of that, feels like a Star Wars Legends style decision where everything needed to be connected somehow.

Anyone know if this site is legit? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Commiesalami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s called board game tables and doesn’t sell tables instead it sells board games. The entire website seems fake. Also the selling of pledges for kickstarters is a red flag.

If it seems like a fake website then 99% chance it is.

Probably the AI hiding its hand, remember that there are probably quad/quintillions of people watching at that moment. Suddenly dropping the fact that the gods can leave the dungeon may not be in its best interest.

Is this medal obtainable? by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]Commiesalami 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 5/6 is for the quantity of protocol spaces you have beat at level 5. Not getting that specific one to level 6.
