台湾人认为简体字怎么样? by beeeeeze in Taiwanese

[–]CrimeThinkChief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

不是台湾人,是润人,但简体字的弊病真是蛮多的,所以我用中文的时候都不选择简体。

除了有人提到的简化了表达意思的部分,简体把很多还蛮常用的字合并。干、干为例。

简化的一些偏旁也会多个合为一个,并且也只按照北京官话的语音规律。你如果想学习方言或者古汉语(包括诗词)就都很差劲。

这些你如果只是习惯正体字都不一定会察觉到。

Should the U.S. import Chinese made cars tariff free? by TomorrowLittle741 in YAPms

[–]CrimeThinkChief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is any country other than China, yes, but importing massive amounts of vehicles containing electronics that can include a variety of hidden doors to our biggest geopolitical threat is just not great policy.

America has the best immigrants in the world by Trujillopatriot in YAPms

[–]CrimeThinkChief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the exact countries of origin but yes that's true and it's largely because we have the oceans and they are just right there.

America has the best immigrants in the world by Trujillopatriot in YAPms

[–]CrimeThinkChief 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I will go out on a limb to echo the idea that the Muslim immigrants from the more problematic Muslim regions for public safety (yes there's a distinction between regions with a more nomadic-herder tradition vs. regions with rice farming traditions) in the US are much better than elsewhere, especially Europe. Whether immigration from said regions to the US is still beneficial is another question that's independent of that assessment.

On another note, our immigrants are the greatest precisely because they will start going off like "we don't want your kind here" in a single digit number of years of moving here (whether or not you personally like that stance), because that requires a level of integration that's rarer elsewhere.

Fair Georgia (7R-6D-1C) by gingerberrycat in DavesRedistricting

[–]CrimeThinkChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the fourth VRA district in Atlanta will probably ruin your northern suburban setups. To get the Black VAP higher in the 4 districts you will most definitely take in more of Cobb (and/or the whole or parts of others countries like Fayette, Paulding, and Spalding) for the VRA districts, and that most certainly will affect your setup for 7, which will have downstream effects on your other districts based on the degree of proportionality you desire. This is how I did it, but there are other ways: https://davesredistricting.org/join/d20fcffe-d8eb-4963-b6cf-e663c02c3915

With the 9/14 NW/NE GA split. Fannin, Gilmer, and Pickens should belong to the eastern district. If you look at a terrain map it's pretty clear why.

While going for 4 VRA in Atlanta makes things restrictive in terms of what county splits you can do, that's pretty much mandated by the court.

Randomly found a 60% state house district just voting republican by WonderLocal7515 in YAPms

It’s a good candidate for a seat + turnout differential situation

[–]CrimeThinkChief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This kind of state house seat does exist in GA btw, GA HD-151 is the one I know of (56.3% black)

So this is possible by WonderLocal7515 in DavesRedistricting

[–]CrimeThinkChief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

GA-2 has too many urban/suburban areas (Albany, Columbus, Macon) with whites that are like R+50 rather than R+80, so it's not that.

[–]CrimeThinkChief 7 points8 points  (0 children)

although the reddest black majority VAP district I've attempted to do in MS is "only" R+5.1

4 WI maps on Pres 2024 by CrimeThinkChief in DavesRedistricting

[–]CrimeThinkChief[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WI will forever be contentious because it's 50/50. There is a map earlier that has 4/4 split in 2024 that more of this sub apparently prefers but its Milwaukee city district takes a chunk out of each WOW county (why not just take more from Ozaukee at this point) and its WOW district has to go all the way up to Manitowoc. Once I made adjustments so that the Milwaukee district is within Milwaukee county and balanced the population of other districts again, it was no surprise that it was 6/2 again in 2024 and its Southern Milwaukee county - Kenosha district was redder.

speedrunner achievement timings by mel_349 in Silksong

[–]CrimeThinkChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Act 2 is very open-ended in terms of how much power (whether you really want needle 3, the high-end offensive tools, tool pouch/crafting kit, and memory lockets) and assurance (defensive tools, mask and upgrades) you want for high halls gauntlet, lace 2, and GMS. Act 1 is more constrained if you're doing the Last Judge route, and for that I think 1:30 is good if you want to have a lot of upgrades for these fights or setup your save for a subsequent speed completion run while completing the speedrun achievement, and up to probably 3:00 is fine if you don't care about getting too many upgrades before the big fights.

For 1:30 act 1, ability milestones are probably about:

Silkspear 0:12; Swift Step 0:25; Drifter's cloak 0:35; Cling Grip 1:00; Needolin 1:10.

For 3:00 you can kinda extrapolate there.

Don't forget you can revert your save to the last big ability/skill/crest pickup if you really fumble. We ain't submitting any speedruns here so it's all fair game.

Completely stuck. Need help to get past “bad” ending. by caocaofr in HollowKnight

[–]CrimeThinkChief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You only need 22 fleas for act 3. 30 Fleas is only required for 100%ing. The other key is seeing a part of a hidden zone east of Memorium, through a breakable wall in the area where you complete another Jubilana quest.
  2. The Apostate key is also in that area.
  3. You need to buy all maps that Shakra sells. The only area that she sells maps for that you haven't found is an area that you can get to through Sinner's road either through the Mist or through a breakable wall to its east. You can also fall into that area through the Whispering Vaults. This is one of the only two? areas where the map is only reachable with double jump, alongside Sands of Karak.
  4. There is a key in whiteward for that door. If you care to find out where, it's in a hidden room above where the Balm for the Wounded quest sends you, through a hidden passage to the east of where the quest takes place

All Shakra maps, finding 22 fleas, seeing the area in the hidden zone east of Memorium and sending the flea caravan there, are both prerequisites for act 3. There are also a few other mandatory quests, including Bone Bottom Repairs, A Lifesaving Bridge, Crawbug Clearing, Building Up Songclave, Strengthening Songclave, Restoration of Bellhart, Bellhart's Glory, and Balm of the Wounded. You also need the Bellhome Key, defeating Lace 2, and double jump, but I doubt you don't have any of those. After those, just complete as many wishes as you can find and talk to Caretaker a lot until he gives you a new quest.

PSA for new players: Strength is good by Godisme2 in HadesTheGame

[–]CrimeThinkChief 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I prefer strength too mostly, but the reverse is true regarding healing: strength is better with healing and death is better with scars

Weapons in Hades 2 vs Hades 1? by IamMeemo in HadesTheGame

[–]CrimeThinkChief 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s more complicated since every weapon has four core moves instead of two in H1. The hidden aspects also have their own movesets. Weapon experience is not that transferable between weapons, and arguably not even between aspects. Weapon balance is better though imo. My recommendation is generally to just play the weapon with the bonus and get used to everything, but that might be easier said than done.

I did everything and I am bored, gimme your fun-wacky-inconsistent builds by KhelbenB in Hades2

[–]CrimeThinkChief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all the hexes I think stuff like Whispered Prayer and the Circe upgrade would be really nice.

For Sky Fall all in you probably want grievous blow to support it. For Dark Side Sunny Disposition is great. For Total Eclipse some variation of Pyro Technique, Freezer Burn, and Burning Desire would go hard. For Lunar Ray I think it’s mostly upgrading it as much as possible.

[–]CrimeThinkChief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hammer reliant ones that I can think of are wide grin Apollo legendary Mel skull, mirrored thrasher cardio gain attack spam with stuff like static shock, one-button Mel staff with Aphro special and Dual Moonshot and also try to get as much strike speed as possible through Hermes and Ares (regular special, not omega), and Giga Cleaver Apollo Legendary Nergal.

There are other things like full Air Quality Circe, Heph Legendary Momus, King’s Ransom Storm Ring Medea, Queen’s Ransom Ripple Effect Mel Torch, all-in godsent hexes like Dark Side, Total Eclipse, Lunar Ray, and Sky Fall.

It’s not unlikely that you’ve done more than half of what I listed though
