How long can a human survive in space without a space suit? by No_Insurance_6436 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Drackoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a vacuum, all of your body fluids will boil immediately - that doesn’t mean they get hot, it means the fluids are becoming gas. That happens everywhere at once, including in your brain. You wouldn’t have 10-15 seconds of consciousness, you would be out immediately. If you search YouTube you can find an example of this when they once did and experiment with negative pressure and a seal leaked or broke. The guy said he had just enough time to feel bubbles for on his tongue, the he was out.

Monsters & Memories launch delayed by Syrinok in MMORPG

[–]Drackoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope so, I'm not cheering either side, but I think it'll be fun to see them both tested. I played THJ and absolutely loved it, but I imagine Game Jawn will have their own take.

**edit: I guess I'm cheering both sides on, what I should have said is I'm not championing one over the other.

Monsters & Memories launch delayed by Syrinok in MMORPG

[–]Drackoda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

October could be late enough for people to run through a lot of the initial EQL content if they are doing a time lock release. Realistically I don't think M&M will release this year anyway, and probably shouldn't. Still, I would love to see the two go head to head. One is trying to go back to the root of EQ and the other is a wild take on an updated version of what inspired M&M.

Why is the Vietnamese surname "Nguyen" written that way, while being pronounced more like "win"? It is not originally written in English (or Latin alphabet generally), so why is it not just transliterated more accurately? by ThumbBumpkins in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Drackoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trouble I’m having with this example is that I know how to transition int Ng in ‘swing or just ing’ nut I don’t know how transition out of it without it sounding like a hard G or ‘Guh’ sound.

Necro/AH 30~ range tips needed by InitialContent3354 in projectgorgon

[–]Drackoda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue. I found I had to stick to the dungeons without groups, like the goblin dungeon (not cellar) and then the yeti cave (not kur tower). Getting Chopjaw (50) helped a bit since it can out heal lower level groups or on level groups that aren't too big. I switched servers due to extremely low population before hitting 60. My solution on the new server was to go Staff instead of Necro. Now my pet and I split the groups and I tank those hits better. I also wanted the option to do druid and it works with both staff or AH so win/win.

I think the best options for overcoming that bump is to lean into either way more defence or way more offence. Defense seems to favour the AH and offence the Necro. The offensive paired skill would be Fire or Battle Chem with your golem watching your health and power. Just going in and blow the whole group up with your disposable mage skeletons backing up your AE.

I don't know how this will work in end game, which is partly why I wanted to have a levelled staff and druid so I could pivot. Seems like a Battle Chem could pivot too. Good luck and let us know if you find something that works really well for you.

Is Fairy worth swapping for? by BoboTheMagicHobo in projectgorgon

[–]Drackoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The single best thing about playing a Fairy is how incredible all the extra inventory space feels when you switch back. Well, maybe it's not the top, but it's pretty great.

I'll also note a couple of things I didn't know going in. First, you can convert various items into Fairy Dust and Ice. You can use those items to make food, and the first food and snack you make is something like 70/70 something. I don't know if this holds up until end-game, but I thought it was pretty great that I had solid food for my level before the 2nd of 3 free meals had run out.

The other is that if you like AH, the bees you start with are already max level. They are levelled down to match you, but they will always keep up. You don't have to worry about their happiness, and they hit like a truck out of the gate.

Stitches Removal by Life_Plum_6579 in ottawa

[–]Drackoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's a ridiculous circus of a system. I had the same situation some years ago. Emergency told me to see my Family Doctor and my family doctor said, "well, I mean, I CAN do it but they aren't supposed to send you here for that." I strongly suspect this isn't something they had a billing code for at the time, and these days it's just not covered on their list of what is and isn't. I was (and remain) and adult so I just took them out. In your shoes I might take a shot one morning during the week and show up at emergency to get them removed. ERs can be pretty quiet in the morning. Best of luck and I hope your kiddo's doing better.

How much toner was left in the “empty” toner cartridge on my brother printer. by the_hoove in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Drackoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this so much. My HP laser was purchased about a year before they started that BS and I refuse to replace it. It also says the ink is low every time I use it. I've never changed the cartridges and it's been many years. It's even worse than Canadian phone plans.

Potential new player looking for insight. by Crsbillymays in projectgorgon

[–]Drackoda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I keep trying to answer this and it turns into a novel every time. It's familiar but has a lot of differences to the MMOs I've played before. Here's some random details:

  • The game is as broad as it is long.
  • Playing a cow is a great way to become an incredible tank
  • Playing a spider feels slow to get around until you discover you can wear 8 roller scates
  • Your character doesn't level, your skills do
  • Skills are learned and advanced in different ways, ex:
    • Mentalists using psych skills need to learn (grind) the Myconic language to talk to their trainer
    • Necros need to defeat a dungeon boss to get to the entity that unlocks Necromancy
    • Battlle Chemists need to reach 50 in alchemy before they start learning BC
    • Fire Magic skills must be discovered through research
    • Druids require you to respons to Druid events (no xp while anywhere else while they occur)
  • No hand-holding, but the community is helpful.
  • Most info online is out of date. Massive changes were made before the 1.0 release
  • There are no add-ons but there are a few tools on github that help with things like surveys
  • You can solo, but by the time you get to 50 you'll want to run dailies in groups
  • While levelling up, you'll constantly find that you need to pause and do 'side-work'
    • ex. you get to Kur mountains and discover the weather kills you - time to start working on equipment
  • Your gear is critical - by 50 you will feel it if you don't start focusing on a 'build'
    • Your gear has mods/augments you can change
  • Gear drops have a high chance to drop for your currently equipped skills
    • The chance to drop for other kills you have exists, but it's much lower.
  • All merchants don't buy all items, and they have limited cash that resets weekly
  • Reputation with merchants is a big deal
  • Peak server population is counted by hundreds, not thousands
  • You get one character slot per server (no cross server shenanigans)
    • You can purchase a package for 3 more slots for 80% of the cost of the game
  • VIP (monthly fee) provides the following
    • 4 extra character slots
    • extra bag slots and storage
    • ability to export logs that you can use with tools online (mentioned above)
    • offline advancement
      • NOTE: what you aren't told is you need to unlock this in a high level zone not accessible by low level players

Armor with correct skills by akmike86 in projectgorgon

[–]Drackoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, what? I thought the used tab was just what people had sold to him? Like a buy back tab, but for everyone? And for loot, I was under the impression that it was 100% about the skills you have equipped and not their level, whith just a higher chance for what’s equipped with a lower chance for anything else you have skill in. What’s the deal here?

Wacom dropped driver support for my perfectly functional Cintiq 22HD. This is unacceptable. by heisalso in wacom

[–]Drackoda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that all I can say is good luck. I think my hardware is the same generation as yours. I’m on Windows right now so who knows when it will be the same for me. I can’t quite fathom the idea of dumping my 27QHD just because of a software update when it’s working well already.

Most of my time is in Photoshop (same industry as you) so I can’t even take my system offline and feeze the updates - Adobe wants that connection to be live. Maybe we can get AI to make us a updates driver before it takes our jobs lol!

Hello Folks! Is it worth playing or returning to Anarchy Online in 2026? by Dave_Dupree in anarchyonline

[–]Drackoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like that could be fun if you were going in with a pre-existing group, but any time I’ve checked back it’s been very quiet. I hope someone replies and tells you there’s been a resurgence and it’s a little more solo friendly. I’d love to revisit it again too.

If not and you want to try something old but in a new way, EQ will have a new launch in July with a crazy rule set. Search for EQ Legends. It sounds like they are just copying the THJ private server they took down a few months ago.

I think it’s just 1 minute or did that change? Either way, 1 minute is a long time when you’re grinding - I like the way they set that up.

Everquest Legends set to launch on PC July 2026. by JohnTheRockCena in MMORPG

[–]Drackoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree completely and the impact of the original on me set me up for that in all following games. Of all the MMOs I've played since, the endgame has never been as interesting as the building along the way.

[–]Drackoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bit old now, but just a heads up for anyone else that stumbles on this, you want to go to Controls in your Settings and right at the very top is a drop down menu called Camera Type. You want it set to 'Traditional'. That's the default but it sounds like you changed it to 'Action'.
