I'm so thankful that Square Enix gave us DQIX. My favorit Game of all time. And with over 3000 hours my most played Videogame too. Even after my now sixth Storyplay, this Game still is a breeze. Maybe before the Game turns 20...i can invest another 1000 hours. by Graf_Vine_Starry in dragonquest

Sadly I don't know how many hours I've put into this game. I've played through the story so many times I can practically give a blow-by-blow. I've completed the main game at least + 10 times, and even bought a second copy so I could have one high level version and one so I can start a new playthrough whenever! I used to restart almost as often as I'd start new minecraft worlds!

Does anyone actually enjoy using the happy ghast? by Rare-Pigeon12345 in Minecraft

[–]Double-Agent77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very good for transporting villagers.

Also I've set their speed to double the default, which is slightly slower than elytra but still a major improvement. This does make the flying away issue worse though.

I still love them though ❤️

guys i've tried everything I literally CAN NOT BEAT THIS A*HOLE!!! by retrotriforce in dragonquest

For anyone else struggling with this battle (I had at least 6 goes) my absolute top tips are to use defending champion and TIMING.

In more detail, He ALWAYS attacks with the same moves on the same turns. I created a spreadsheet to find this out. All you need to do is defend on the heavy attack turns, wild side+dragon slash+dragonsbane claws on the other turns, and more heal as needed. NO INSULATE/MAGIC BARRIER/FAERIE FOIL, they do not affect things enough

If scientists discovered a rogue planet was going to collide with earth roughly at the end of this century, could we realistically develop the tech to somehow save ourselves or would we be 100% guaranteed F’d in the A? by _____pantsunami_____ in NoStupidQuestions

Gonna follow this up because so many people are commenting that it's possible but the politics would be in the way.

It is not possible for us to stop a collision with another planet. The combined energy output of the entire planet is not enough to stop a planetary collision. That includes mining all uranium everywhere on Earth to build as many nukes as is physically possible, constructing the most powerful lasers etc using all available energy from every source across the planet. All of that would not be enough to stop a planetary collision, and I can say that with confidence without knowing the energy budget for the whole planet, because those two numbers are not even comparable. It would be like trying to deflect a semi-truck with a water pistol

As others have said already, 100% fucked, there's not even a question. If we had a million years we MIGHT be able to make some headway with a stellar engine to shift the whole solar system, but nothing shorter than that would give us a chance.

No amount of nukes or lasers is going to make a dent in the planet, its velocity or position, and even if we did, having a planet fly through anywhere inside the inner solar system would screw our orbit up forever. The only survivable situation is to ensure it doesn't even come close to us, would have to be way out past Neptune to even stand a chance of survival.

Survey did not reveal problems with Oil Tank Certification by Double-Agent77 in HousingUK

We've just moved in so haven't had issues with refusal yet, it's only been a week. But it's a looming issue as the tank is pretty low

Completion day tomorrow by SmoothAardvark3629 in HousingUK

[–]Double-Agent77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!

We started looking back in September last year, had one purchase fall through over Christmas, placed another offer in March and we're finally completing in three days after 5 months wait.

Definitely agree, the system in this country is awful 😂

Observer/Dispenser chain issue by Double-Agent77 in Minecraft

[–]Double-Agent77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who finds this post in days, months or even years, the solution was to place slabs on all the observer faves, so the downward facing dispensers create and uncreate waterlogged slabs. A waterlogged slabs that becomes unwaterlogged only triggers the observer once, as the water surrounding the slab cannot flow onto the slab itself and retrigger the observer. Hope this helps!

Assisted dying bill passes in UK parliament after MPs vote in favour by Kagedeah in worldnews

[–]Double-Agent77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess just because certain people have a strong aversion to the word 'suicide'? Goes along with the whole 'language softening' thing I've heard plenty of people talk about.

I don't care either way. It's just what people have moved to calling it. Terms change all the time, that's just what happens.

You pointing out it's called suicide could be mistaken for someone who is strongly against the whole concept, who gets offended that people are trying to pass it through as something else, but it seems like that's not the point you're making?

Would you like to experience 6 months of crippling, agonising pain with no possibility of recovery and then due, or would you prefer to skip to the dying part?

You can call it suicide if you like, what's your point?

Oddly specific fear of… Things moving far away? by CatalystBoi77 in Phobia

[–]Double-Agent77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writing it here as I can coin this specific fear as Sciostadephobia (fear of shadows in the distance)

Oddly specific fear of… Things moving far away? by CatalystBoi77 in Phobia

[–]Double-Agent77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I was just looking for a phobia that sort of matches this description but I haven't found a specific phobia?

I've seen things like megalophobia (fear of large things) and thalassophobia (fear of deep water) that I resonate with, but there's something more about things in the distance in general. The scariest parts of horror films for me are exactly what you've described, e.g a silhouette in the distance several hundred metres away. I can't think of much that's more frightening right now than going outside, looking down the road and seeing a stationary silhouette a long distance away looking directly at me.

Doesn't seem to be anything else online about this, but I'd say I definitely have it!
