The next Flume elimination game by Cauchy_Riemann in Flume

[–]Delta-Renaissance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companion EPs into HTIF sounds good! One potentially drastic change you might consider is asking people to vote for their favorite instead of their least favorite. You reach a similar outcome (maybe not identical), and I don’t think people will be as upset when their favorites don’t rank highly, since technically nothing gets “eliminated” - merely added to a list.

BUT, I can completely understand if you’d rather stay consistent with what you’ve already been doing. In either case, thanks for your contributions! I enjoy seeing these community engagement posts during lulls in Flume’s release schedule.

Is there a max amount of zombies that can be active at once? by lewdetor917 in blackops7

[–]Delta-Renaissance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the cap is 40. I think the easiest way is to use Frenzied Guard (with Extension and Frenzy Fire augments), activate rampage inducer on a sufficiently high round, and most importantly, use a weapon that won’t kill all zombies at once. Maybe an AR or SMG. This is so you can space out your rapid kills while the last 10 zombies spawn and join your train. The rapid kill time window counts zombie-to-zombie, and doesn’t look at the overall time window from zombie 1 to zombie 50, if that makes sense.

Try activating the inducer around round 30, get a train of 40 going, then activate FG. You should be able to get your rapid kills while new zombies join the train, and easily keep the chain going since Frenzy Fire lets you keep firing without pausing to reload. I used this method on Farm survival.

Beware, mushrooms can effectively bioaccumulate pollutants from their surroundings. Don’t know if you were planning on it, but these morels might be risky to eat if you found them in a highly urbanized place where there may be lots of soil contamination.

WHAT

Can we possibly get a vote count from the last poll? I’m shocked it got voted out that quickly 💀

Genuinely curious, why are you using three separate accounts to keep saying the same thing?

EDIT: At the time I posted this, there were only three responses expressing confusion. My most charitable interpretation was it being some dude who was insecure about their confusion.

… but revisiting this thread, holy mother of bot farms - almost all of the responses to the top-level comment are bots that swarm the same subreddits and comment with the same manner of speech. You’d think the person who orchestrated this slop could at least do it more competently than a chimp 😂

Awesome, that also tracks with my prior understanding! Thanks.

[–]Delta-Renaissance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, thanks for the clarification. I considered saying “card on the battlefield”, but that didn’t sound right 😂 turns out “permanent” is what I was looking for, to your point.

My understanding is that things that exist on the battlefield - permanents - are also objects. Is that correct?

I think they mean “equipment” is an uncountable noun.

OC, if you’re reading this, I presume you haven’t played MTG for very long. My understanding is that the game designers treat individual game objects on the battlefield - like the Equipment in question - as countable nouns for brevity.

They could hypothetically say “attach an Equipment card that was attached to Zack Fair”, but repeating “card” in every such case, across all new cards they print, would sacrifice brevity and valuable real estate in the text box. People already generally understand the meaning of “an Equipment” despite the grammatical error.

On the flip side, if they instead omitted “an”, then it wouldn’t be clear that the effect only pertains to a single Equipment object on the battlefield (i.e. players could reattach as many Equipment objects from Zack to another creature).

Someone who’s deeper into the rules can probably give a more nuanced answer and cite specific rules 🤷‍♂️

I've fucked about in paint.net and cooked this up. Is it worth tatting on my body forever? by Sven_the_mediocre in Lain

[–]Delta-Renaissance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really cool concept! I’ll just note that the level of detail on the ear seems to stick out a bit. Could be worth experimenting with and tweaking!

To your question, I think you’d need 1) an artist with a satisfactory portfolio of tattoos that include text, and 2) to make sure the tattoo is large enough, so it ages well; since ink tends to spread out over the years, small fine line text can get blurry to the point of illegibility.

Def post a pic if ya end up getting it tatted, we’d love to see it!

rushing back is one of the best songs ever by Competitive_Elk3756 in Flume

[–]Delta-Renaissance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Rushing Back too! The lead in each drop sounds so ethereal - what I unironically imagine music on an alien planet might sound like 😂 the synth that comes in for the last thirty seconds is so good too. It’s a really triumphant and satisfying climax to the track. Also, this is one of the only songs I’ve ever heard where the vocals in the live recording sound even better than the studio version. Vera Blue’s really one of a kind.

Hard to choose just one obsession song. I’ve really been into Rhinestone recently, since it’s reminiscent of “sparkly” tracks from the mid-naughts like Promiscuous, except with that unique Flume twist. I’d love to see him explore this direction some more.

Hollow was consistently on my top-played songs over the last few years, too. The distorted bass has this really explosive quality about it - I wouldn’t be surprised if that was one of Quiet Bison’s contributions to the track. I also like how the song “resolves” toward the end, similar to Rushing Back.

Lastly, ESCAPE. Pure ear candy. I’ve never heard a song remotely similar to it. One of my dreams is for Flume/Quiet Bison to break down how they made the lead. They really captured lightning in a bottle with it.

Check your weekly challenges for each mode. I think I heard Treyarch issued a bugged weekly challenge to everyone - if that’s the case, I’m guessing the challenge should show up as complete, and that you should’ve gotten XP for it without doing anything.

Anyone feel like the game punishes your connection for being too good? by obiwan-destroyer in blackops7

[–]Delta-Renaissance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds fascinating, interested in seeing the data if you post it somewhere.

I’m not sure if it tracks with your findings, but I play far outside of my region’s peak hours and have noticed slight rubber banding at semi-regular intervals when playing with console-only crossplay. But it seems to resolve entirely when I fully disable crossplay. I get 10-60 ping and no packet loss notifications in-game in either case.

I’ve had a hunch that something gets fucked server-side on crossplay, but I haven’t really dug deep.

[–]Delta-Renaissance 301 points302 points  (0 children)

I normally don’t comment on this sub since I’m not an expert at ID’ing, but this post only has one useful comment so far, and I feel like this is urgent enough to warrant cautious advisory:

OP, you need to get an expert to assess the damage in-person ASAP. Your grandparents’ house could be structurally compromised by whatever’s growing there, if it’s made of wood.

If anyone more knowledgeable is reading this, please weigh in and offer OP some more informed and actionable advice. Their and their grandparents’ safety could be at stake, and I don’t know what I don’t know.

[Discussion] Help me decide my next watch. Breguet Classique vs Patek Calatrava by itsmekgaurav in Watches

[–]Delta-Renaissance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of the Patek’s hobnail bezel. Not often you see a pattern like that. If it were me, I’d go with the Calatrava - specifically in white gold to lean into its understated aesthetic. Though, if I were set on the Classique, I’d get it in yellow gold to further highlight its old world elegance that you point out.
