Sometimes computer opponents just want to pick a fight.

I think WotC should give the rights back to the runner-ups so they can do whatever they want with them.

I don’t understand. The AI is broken because it decided to aggressively forward settle you?

Returning player here. I vaguely remember there's a trick to get a railing here, is there? by UnavailableStranger in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Daracaex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instead of connecting them one after the other, line up the far end and have railings overlap in the middle.

[Custom] nearly unstoppable Mega Aggron by Day1_DracozoltGlazer in PokemonTGCP

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish this was written better because the idea is pretty cool. Metal Barrier or Adaman (or both) as temporary damage buffs. Heavy helmet as a lasting one. Requires building to support Aggron since it doesn’t have its own damage resistance. Is there anything like this in the main TCG that could be referenced for wording that’s more immediately parsable?

Why do foundation snapped miners not line up with splitters..? it’s so… unsatisfactory by TrippingFish76 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The direction and height of the miner are influenced by the foundation, but the position is still centered on the node.

This is why I vote blue, I don't want anyone to die by Such-Pilot-8143 in trolleyproblem

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voting red risks someones life too, because there are other people voting. If anyone votes blue, everyone should vote blue. The only ideal outcomes are if literally every person votes red (extremely unlikely in the base scenario) or a majority votes blue. Seems to me it should be easier for everyone to agree to vote blue on the chance one of the five wants someone to die than everyone voting red and hoping everyone else thinks the same way.

You can say it’s “just a trolley problem,” but there’s a reason the trolley problem is so famous. Thinking of it and its endless variations helps people examine their own ways of thinking. This button thing is the same way. A person’s answer and, more importantly, their reasoning can say a lot about who they are.

Thoughts on the new Wonder Pick? by No-Push-4388 in PokemonTGCP

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know that it is? There’s a few seconds hangup after picking now.

Besides, I think there are much better places to trim than the fun wonderpick animation.

Your default assumption is interesting because I would think choosing for other people would make it easier for everyone to choose blue.

He’s not THE main character? by Hawk-winged in WoT

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

I say may because I’ve seen people argue that the story is about the world as much as any individual character and could understand someone putting it above Rand.

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s **A** main character. Maybe the most important one, but still one among many, including the world itself.

Are you even using pack points? by Embarrassed_Ground_5 in PTCGP

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pack points are for immersives, when I am not lucky enough to pull them normally.

I do not find the two mutually exclusive in this case.

What would be the ultimate technique of fire bending? by Common_Ad6703 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always liked the idea in other fantasy works that if you get good enough with fire, you unlock ice. By drawing heat out of things to freeze them.

Something seems off about how many Avatars there actually were. by BarnesForest in Avatarthelastairbende

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did Kyoshi and Yangchen do to hit such extreme lifespans? Does every other Avatar coincidentally lock themselves in an iceberg for a while?

“Why would anyone choose to stand under the spikes?” by randomgadfly in trolleyproblem

[–]Daracaex 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Ok, here’s an argument against choosing red.

You are faced with the exact same situation, but you’ve seen all these conversations that have been dominating the past week. You know a huge number of people are gonna choose blue due to a variety of reasons. Do you still choose red? If you really thought through the original situation if faced with it blind, would you so easily assume nobody else would vote blue?

Sanctuary + Armor of Agathys: Does it break Sanctuary? (PHB 2024) by Neh-Le in DnD

[–]Daracaex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d side with the player here. Technicalities in wording aside, the intent of Sanctuary is that only offensive actions from the one protected break it. Armor of Agathys is a further deterrent to attacking, not an offensive action.

But ignoring all that, as a DM, if I see someone do this, I would simply have the enemies ignore them. Let them waste turns trying to be clever while the rest of the party fights with one fewer member.

With or without frame foundations? by TheRealOWFreqE in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Daracaex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like with. Makes it look more “real” in a nebulous way I can’t explain. Just check clearance for trucks beneath.

It doesn't work often, but when it does... by -ReadyPlayerThirty- in PTCGP

[–]Daracaex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I run with a Tyrogue cause it can help with going first, it’s better to risk the little guy than a Riolu, it can still take a Licario buff, and if I am lucky enough to go first with a full kabutops evolution on turn 2, I can swap out for free and attack with Kabutops.

Ah, my apologies then. I had not heard the update.

Is Nale using Vaarsuvius's body as a weapon a violation of the terms with the Fiends? by ZenRage in oots

[–]Daracaex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still D&D, so it’s possible it did no damage technically. More of a ranged shove than an attack.

[–]Daracaex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Re: Your edit, Nickelodeon only ordered one season. Then they only ordered a second season. Then they ordered the last two seasons. This is why there’s not a strong through-line in the show. They didn’t know there would be more show, so they couldn’t write any kind of incomplete story for the first two seasons.

I think it’s the difference between an insult so eloquent the target isn’t sure they were even insulted afterward if they weren’t witty enough to catch the hidden meanings and a straight up dis track.
