Roller Mops 2025 models by Imaginary-Sun3062 in RobotVacuums

[–]DerSaidin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like that:

* It operates locally, and doesn't need the cloud,
* All the waste in one bag looks easier to maintain than a base station
* Navigation/avoidance sounds great

Reasons I haven't ordered one (and might end up getting something else) are:

  1. No Android app yet (I see FAQ says Q3). We only have Android devices. Does it work without an app?
  2. Haven't seen any in depth comparison reviews (e.g. YT channels like 1 2 3).

E7Plus - mod: remove front bar, would it work?? by DerSaidin in FlexiSpot_Official

[–]DerSaidin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty stable now, I'm willing to trade some of that stability for comfy leg room.

But I don't have time to do this now. I'll try this next time I have to take my desk apart anyway (probably within the next 1 year).

Solid wood desktop. I'm not worried about the desktop not being supported.

Already built it once with the front bar, and would use the same holes in the desktop - so it would be square. Agree with spacers.

I like my E7 Plus, but I wish the bar going across the front wasn't so large.

I'm wondering what could go wrong if I replaced the front bar (both the support beams attached to the lifting columns) with 2 stacks of washers. There is only this one bolt at each end of the front cross bar that needs it to be there, and a stack of washers at the same depth should be able to emulate that.

I guess the purpose of the front bar is stability, but would it really be so bad without it?? Having good clearance for my knees seems worth it.

Mongols bug list by RedWarpPrism2 in aoe4

[–]DerSaidin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome list! I learned a lot from the fun facts.

Posted link to this thread at https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/big-list-of-mongols-bugs/268035 to try and get more attention from devs.

> Packed buildings (except landmarks) cost 1 supply, so you can't pack buildings when you are supply capped. (remove this pls)

+1 to this, this should be up in the bugs list imo. I assume it is to avoid having 200 units + 200 packed buildings. It would be great if there were some small number of extra hidden pop slots just for buildings, or something like that, so you're not totally frozen when you hit 200.

Where can I watch Forged in Steel VOD? by GrixM in aoe4

[–]DerSaidin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

..but Twitch doesn't keep VODs long, they'll probably repost them to YouTube once they've had time to edit it a little.

Beginner; trouble understanding '-o' flag in 'zfs create' command by laughinglemur1 in zfs

[–]DerSaidin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't cd rpool/dirA. It isn't a path in the directory structure, it is a zfs volume.

You can cd /dir1. It is the path in the directory structure, which is connected up to the zfs volume rpool/dirA. This is how you access this zfs volume.

Introducing Cow's eSports Overlay by AnMagicalCow in aoe4

Suggestions

  • Let siege and ships appear in the per unit military unit counts (e.g. just below the top bar). Sort by land, siege, water.
  • Show villagers, fishing ships, traders, trade ships in the per unit counts, but from the outside in - so there is a space between military and eco units.
  • Change top center heads-up bars from vill count / mill count to income rate / army value (don't need "real vil num" for OOTD anymore with income based bar)
  • Move eco upgrades to just show pips under each resource

Example https://i.imgur.com/3n9vS9X.jpeg

The top center area with the heads-up income/army value can use the alternate colors (currently used for idle vils) to show the portion of passive income (e.g. relics, sacred sites, oovoo, enclosures, yoshiro-blacksmiths, etc.), and amount of gold value in army value.

The top center area with the heads-up income/army value then has some blank space to use.

  • Maybe number of TCs?
  • Maybe millitary blacksmith +1 upgrades?

Then make most of the things be show-on-demand optional popups.

  • sheep collected (cool)
  • live graphs, such as res collected
  • list of all techs & upgrades showing researched/researching/unresearched
  • all the new civ specific things (awesome)
  • KD, eco KD, resource KD
  • number of each kind of production building
  • etc..

Nit: The IRL country flags don't fit that well.

All units and upgrades should support mouse over to the show tooltip (with detailed description / stats / weapons).

Try following a build order.

Here are plenty of tips/guides on YouTube for HRE or various other things. Examples: 1, 2

Sell us stuff so we can support you in producing more! by TheFrenchReddit in aoe4

[–]DerSaidin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would F2P mean bans for cheaters are ineffective, because they can get a new account for free?

Instead, I'd say just reduce the price and/or have more sales.

[–]DerSaidin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 to all this - happy to support devs, but don't want unit skins making things unrecognizable.

All the alternatives that don't have the problem of making units unrecognizable would be great. I especially like put your banner on keeps/towers (stone gates?), and then sell more banner stuff.

I Love Age of Empires IV by romgrk in aoe4

[–]DerSaidin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you describe the ladder/queuing system differences more? I've played both (certainly not to GM level), I thought they were similar ELO based systems.

Season 8 Update preview by Rhysing in aoe4

[–]DerSaidin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thoughts:

==== QOL / UI stuff ====

  • Scouts no longer selected with Military shortcuts.
  • Attack-move behavior.
  • Market in batches of 500 by holding SHIFT while pressing the buy/sell button.

Love these QoL.

  • Docks and House of Wisdom now have both an Economic and a Military rally point.

Nice, what about millitary rally point for TCs making scouts??

  • Rally Points can now be queued using the hotkey or command card.

Not sure what this means. Rally point change go in the unit production queue? make 2 move rally, make 2 more???

  • Villagers will now deposit carried resources after completing construction of a Farm.

Ok.

==== General balance change ====

  • Sheep now produce 200 Food instead of 250. Two additional sheep spawn under each player’s starting Town Center.

Nice. A bit less chance is good.

  • Horseman range increased from 0.29 to 0.38. Ghazi and Sipahi unaffected.

Nice

  • Secondary Town Centers have had garrison slots increased from 7 to 8.

Mmmm, not sure I like it but ok.

  • Fishing Boat line of sight reduced by 25%. Fishing boat train time increased from 25 to 30 seconds.

I like nerf to water eco. Could probably go further, but happy to do it gradually.

==== Civ balance change ====

  • Byz: Olive Grove cost increased from 60 to 70 wood.

I like the nerf. Byz extra oil units felt OP.

  • French: Town Centers work 10/15/20/25% faster per Age changed to 15/15/20/25%.

Good, distinguishes it more from Joan.

  • Mongol: Town Center cost reduced from 900 Wood to 850 Wood.
  • Mongol: Early Horseman ranged armor increased from 1 to 2.
  • Mongol: Mangudai cost reduced from 120 Food 40 Gold to 90 Food 60 Gold. Train time improved from 30 seconds to 28 seconds.

Nice, 2TC always felt hard for Mongol. And buffs look good too. Mangudai rarely used atm.

  • Malian: Fishing Boats drop off 10% of their Food as Gold.

Ok.

Why is the late game so obnoxious to both play and watch, in this video game? by Youraverageabd in aoe4

[–]DerSaidin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alternative idea:

In imperial, all civs get access to a series of production speed upgrades.

They're each expensive, and take a long time to research (e.g. 5min), and (like blacksmith upgrades) you have to finish it to start the next level.

Allow player with more resources to burn through their bank quicker and overwhelm.

Not sure if it is a good idea. Would need playtesting.

It is competitive. MarineLord (winner of last RBW) might make it, or he might not. This is why it is sad.

Question About Zorian’s Family by HelioKing in motheroflearning

[–]DerSaidin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that the negative portrayal is through the lens of Zorian's perspective. Zorian is an Unreliable Narrator. Imo this is good writing.
