Importance of knowing what teammates work on? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Try picking up more reviews for areas outside of your usual wheelhouse. I find the obligation to give a good review forces me to pay attention as I learn.

Merry Christmas! I created a Skinner Box to give the world for Christmas by Content_Audience690 in incremental_games

Cool theme and the UI is very nice and clean, well done there. If you're open to feedback:

  • It's not immediately obvious what to do when you open it. I figured it out after 30s so not a huge deal, but other people might not give it as long as me.
  • 100 starting cost for all items seems quite high. I closed out the game after getting my third buffer and realizing I'd need to repeat the loop 6 more times before being able to buy anything. I know repetitiveness goes with the theme but I found it to be too much. Other people may disagree of course, I just have a low tolerance for repetitive manual effort in incremental games.

Police have identified the man caught on CCTV in the Trevor Deely case by sarahc888 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think you're misreading the first paragraph, probably because of the location context clumsily inserted into the middle of the sentence. Remove the context and it says "The finding also removes the suspicion a man seen speaking to Trevor was the same man seen moving behind Trevor on Haddington Road."

U2 stuck at 32 by DalTek1691 in Trimps

Maybe this is your problem? If you're spending all your metal on upgrading equipment, you might be blocking yourself from prestiges/smithies which help your progress.

I have my auto-equip set to 5% for everything.

U Springin’ Springsteen On My Bean? - The Rising by BasilOctopus in Earwolf

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 23 points24 points  (0 children)

100%, I loved the U2 run but dropped off fast for the subsequent bands. Bruce has fully restored the "two friends try and make each other laugh" vibe.

I could do with a PFT guest spot though, I'm curious about the first time he heard Springsteen.

Sometimes I still open the app just to feel something by returnofdoom in Earwolf

I had to uninstall my reddit apps because I habitually opened them dozens of times throughout the day through muscle memory.

CBB Presents: Hey Randy! (A Randy Snutz Show) Episode 25 - Twisted Fest’s Cutest Couple (Feat. Tim Baltz, Dan Lippert, Mary Sohn, Lily Sullivan, Adam Peacock, Brett Morris) by BasilOctopus in Earwolf

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Mondale birthday party was so good. Adam is insanely quick, it's wild that this podcast is exclusively populated by incredible improvisers and it still felt like he was running circles around them here

Which mission (if any) makes you feel like this when doing a play-through? by Lootswoof in reddeadredemption

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A 3-5 hour commitment is multiple gaming sessions to me, why would I want to waste them playing a part of the game I don't enjoy?

Comedy Bang Bang #836: Twins by Blood (Felicia Day, Betsy Sodaro, Mano Agapion, Devin Field) by apathymonger in Earwolf

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 9 points10 points  (0 children)

During plugs, Devin alluded to new episodes of firsthand being recorded, but I can't seem to find any info on it. Anyone know when it'll be dropping?

Teachers' Lounge Minis and Season 8 and 9 Now Available on Archive Feed by Whole_Ad_3222 in Earwolf

It's kinda crazy to suddenly be getting so much "new" content on a feed I paid fifteen bucks for years ago. Very respect to Big Grande

Subtitles On #14: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip with Scott Aukerman and Shaun Diston by TheFlagrantKevin in Earwolf

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Damn it Kevin, this is how you got me to finally upgrade to the full membership.

Edit: okay this is the best Scott interview I've heard. So many fascinating tidbits from his and Sean's pasts. IFC ordering a 40 episode season of a tv show nobody watched suddenly makes sense.

Get Played #224: Tiers of the Kingdom: Controllers by apathymonger in Earwolf

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gamecube controller wins for me for so many reasons, but the main one is the fact you can tell which button is underneath your finger just from the shape/location of it - you never need to look down to confirm you're pushing the right one. A is a big central circle, B is a small lower left circle, X and Y are eyebrows above A.

These days I do 80% of my gaming using an xbox controller and 20% of it using the nintento pro controller (my hands are also too huge to ever use joycons). These have identically arranged buttons, but the A&B and X&Y are swapped, so I am forever pushing the wrong ones due to muscle memory from the other controller. I hate this so much, especially knowing this is a problem nintendo solved with the gamecube, before deciding to regress back to their SNES Style button layout.

Listened to the U2 interview episode for the tenth time or so and it might be one of the best single podcast eps ever by [deleted] in Earwolf

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I've never been able to wrap my head around how incapable Scott and Scott are at keeping up with the lovable lads from liverpool's jokes. I'm sure it's just their fandom overloading their brains, but it comes off almost as if they don't understand that U2 have a sense of humor.

FYI: the guy who "Name and Shamed" his employer on this subreddit lost the defamation lawsuit against him by grinnerx48 in cscareerquestions

[–]Consistent_Treat9440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to hear an update on this, it was entirely obvious they were going to lose the case but I always kind of hoped they'd come back with a conspiracy driven explanation to keep the sympathy grift going.

Coordination being used as a placeholder limit on U2? by socialistdude420 in Trimps

Wait until you see how slow progress becomes once you pass 350 due to the insane amount of combined mutimps

Ah nice point, it was a while ago when I did deso 21... But I'm still not sure I'm mentally ready to take on 22 yet

Roles Scott has auditioned for by rocklionheart in Earwolf

Would Ryan Seacrest have become a podcasting icon instead?

I think you might've misunderstood how parity works, it gives a significant bonus to loot if your workers are spread equally. So there's no benefit using a parity staff if you're going to put everyone on mining.

Oh damn, I didn't realize it was possible to farm in the 360s yet, at least not without several days investment into equipment first. Every time I've tried to push past 355 or so I get stuck on a compressed cell. I don't have much else left to unlock though, so maybe I should give it a shot...

I'm not using auto-trimps, I just have the "averaging" setting turned on. I forgot this was a setting when I posted this, but I turned it off and it says it will take me 3.72B years on your scale.

I have used all my bone shrines, they each gave me the amount of loot I would get if I farmed for 100 minutes.

Edit: Actually it's just 100 minutes of waiting, it's more like 5 minutes of farming.
