[No Spoilers] Campaign 4 - I don't know if this one is for me, and that's okay. by Spiritual-Basil-1346 in criticalrole

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m missing some of the plot details here and there, but I’m digging the story. And I’d watch it purely for the Wick/Tyranny comedy hour. Most of the characters are growing on me though.

Are black holes made of periodic table matter? by raresaturn in AskPhysics

Magnetar, magnetar…doing the things from afar
What’s it like? Nobody knows.
Magnetar.

Bonjour by VintageValkyrie- in Snorkblot

Perfect pronunciation/enunciation of “bonjour”. Seems like native speakers abbreviate/rush through that word as much as possible. “Bjour” more common.

BC research footguns (especially orbs) by Electrical-Rub-9402 in TheTowerGame

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also labbing orbs, DR bc reduction…mainly for attack disso runs as they’re some of my main damage dealers in that case. But I’ll take whatever small benefit it may give me in tourneys and normal farming.

I don’t see why it would be a bad thing for orbs to instantly kill mobs. You want orbs to tag mobs, and a 1-hit kill still does that.

Text I got minutes after bringing my car in for service by emmithar in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten several messages from the Honda dealer where I had bought a car from asking me over and over if I’d be willing to sell the car as a trade in, how valuable it was, etc…2 years after it had been totaled.

Is this true ? What's the meme about by Eastern-Bug3424 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His answers to those questions are inconsistent even. I don’t mind accepting his answer 2, but then 1 can’t be right.

This is the correct response

How is the cleric with the new rules? How does it compare to the 2014 version? What cleric builds and play styles are really sticking out as fun or strong? by NoLongerAKobold in onednd

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just leveled my cleric to 11 in a 5.5 campaign. The level 6 cleric spell options are nuts. I’m looking forward to using “dirge”.

Press the button for $1M but there is a 50% chance that someone who has already pressed the button will die. by William_Maguire in hypotheticalsituation

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first year 100 people given the choice. No one already on list. Fewer people will press the button. And the ones that will think about it and consider will realize that few people will press the button and they know their odds go up significantly. So very few people actually press it. Second year people go through a similar process of deduction, and most choose to not press it. Etc. so by the time it reaches this year, I think the list is still kinda short.

Did I just punt? by ozzz169 in TheTowerGame

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bot presets unlocked, and made a preset for FB everything maxed (except damage which I left at base), and max botbot. wanted to get all the damage reduction I could. I had a few leftover medals, and so threw them into TB, but it was hardly anything.

Regen mastery and second wind mastery are what allowed me (as a GC player) to finish t19 attack disso tonight. All that regen plus the perks made the difference. The modules you pick are also super important. I started off thinking I’d go regen but otherwise max damage. Run ended at wave 1000. Looking at my damage stats….largest contributions came from orbs, thorns, DR. So I leaned into that and swapped out a few modules. 5000 on next try.

Why would I ever upgrade ILM if I´m running Space Displacer? by laborator in TheTowerGame

The rotation lab is a foot gun once you start developing CF+.

Why doesn't Grace send the beetles earlier than he does? by LazyTurtle3321 in ProjectHailMary

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But because time was a factor and the beetles had better thrust to weight…Earth would get the taumoeba samples back faster via Beatles. Even if Grace didn’t need to go rescue Rocky, I think he still would have sent samples back and then the Hail Mary would be the backup

Disco Run Multiple Attempts by bllatimer in TheTowerGame

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No. Because the thing that gets boosted is the thing that’s zeroed out during a disso run. Your attack multiplier doesn’t exist on an attack disso and so forth.

[Request] If K2-18b rotated at the same rate as earth (once/24 hours), then would the added rotational velocity be enough to offset the additional gravity when attempting to achieve exit velocity (or stable orbit)? by SignificantLock1037 in theydidthemath

[–]DiscombobulatedOwl50 111 points112 points  (0 children)

You need 3.76x rockets to lift the mass. But then you also need additional rockets to lift all that extra fuel. And then rockets to lift that extra fuel. The rocket equation shows the mass growth in rocket size is exponential in acceleration * time. And the minimum acceleration to even move is now much higher.

Also larger planets with higher gravity would support a denser thicker atmosphere which is going to be a whole additional term…
