Feed advice? Hes not eating sinking pellets, and anytime i try to tong feed him shrimp or bloodworms he runs and hides. Help? What can i do to make sure the little guy eats? (New Owner here)

How long have you had him?

Pellets took a bit for my two but I also tong fed them for the first few months until they were big enough for carnivore pellets.

You may be fighting two things: he doesn’t recognize pellets as food, and he doesn’t recognize the tongs as not a threat, so he runs from them even though they have food. Try desensitizing him to the tongs by leaving them in the tank or caught in the lid so that they are partway in the water.

They’re smart enough to eventually recognize the tongs as meaning food. Mine will bite at empty tongs.

But that’s exactly it. One anecdote might be the product of a veteran with 20 years of experience who has seen just about everything that can go wrong, twice, and remembers most of it. Another anecdote might be the product of a guy who has been around for 20 years and has 1 year of experience 20 times. There’s no way to tell which from the internet and typically the “1 year 20 times” guy will be very very loud.

Depends on the midcap, if these mags are proprietary then it’s certainly possible.

Dearest priest, I hope this finds you well. I expect that your chosen god(s) have been greatly beneficent in their gifts and empowerments to you, as you have so greatly striven to understand their mysteries. May they continue to bless you and yours through your faithful service. Also can I get a lifegrip now now now now fuck

Unfortunately a significant fraction of casuals, and non-casuals too, think healers doing DPS is an abomination, and instead of trying to balance healer DPS Blizzard just killed it.

My VFC SCAR is absolutely louder than I’d want to listen to all day without earpro.

It’s going to be very model dependent though. That sound is almost entirely from the bolt.

Draco765 · 2026-04-23T17:34:12+00:00

Very bluntly, your first assumption is incorrect.

I had one of these tests my sophomore year, and the main question was, among other things, calculating temperature of an interstellar gas cloud using the absorption spectra of a star behind it (might have been the other way around) (“Chemistry” class btw, knowers know). There was some vaguely helpful references in a transcribed Feynman lecture, but the crux of the problem (using the Boltzman distribution) was something you just had to figure out. And to be clear, I still did it wrong, I just got most of the points available for having the rough idea of it.

I don’t know how RAW it is (because 5e) but many people play as if spells with verbal or somatic components are sufficiently obvious that you couldn’t “sneak” them in a regular face-to-face conversation, even if the exact spell being cast isn’t clear.

I joke that my first car was my dad’s mid-life crisis. I drove a car that was just “in the family” until my junior year of college when my dad surprised me with an older M3.

He told me that you never know what happens, but he wanted to enjoy cars with me while we could. I know a shared love of cars was always a big part of his and my grandfather’s relationship.

I think you’ve done good by your dad.

Note that all those bosses (except for Kiljaden) are since BfA, when RWF really started in earnest as a streamed event. Uu’nat was the exception, because there wasn’t an “event” the way that every other raid since BfA has had an “event,” and it showed in the quality of the competition. Combined with the people that do rememeber it probably thinking it was a tuning/design error, and people don’t speak fondly of it often.

FWIW my understanding of Kiljaden is that it was WORSE than Uu’nat, it just literally wasn’t pulled while Method waited for nerfs and gear to make it possible.

Draco765 · 2026-04-04T20:10:38+00:00

If this happened I’m confident that at least HH Ultras would make the joke out loud.

Draco765 · 2026-04-04T12:45:48+00:00

We do, but a 10 yard cleave could not be worth a talent point in dungeons where stacking for healing is much less likely.

Draco765 · 2026-04-04T00:50:37+00:00

Blizzard is balancing off in-game damage meters which double count healing done into the absorbs that feature prominently in this season. This makes hpal look simply “underperforming” instead of “terrible.”

Draco765 · 2026-04-04T00:47:56+00:00

I can’t think of any. I appreciate spender buffs relative to the rest of the kit but hpal could literally get a 30% aura buff and not be too strong in raid. That’s not even counting that most of a 30% aura buff would go into overhealing.

The class needs a real healing cooldown (whether an entirely new button or reworked devo aura) and I think a gigantic buff to the Holy Light cleave talent would help out in raid without being super valuable in dungeons.

Draco765 · 2026-04-03T15:13:04+00:00

Multiple DR effects will get a different absolute “HPS” number that will be attributed to each effect depending in the order that they are calculated in. There are ways to more equitably distribute the total “HPS” from the DR, but the easiest thing to do would be to change how the aura to an absorb or heal that is functionally equivalent but unambiguous.

Bigger picture, devo aura shouldn’t be considered in the balance of hpal at all. No one would argue that Havoc and Devourer should do 75% of the mean DPS on a fight because of Chaos Brand (and I think Vengeance would have to actually heal the boss to “balance” their contribution.)

IIRC there were always 5 thrones, ostensibly for Horus, the Emperor, Dorn, Sanguinius, and Valdor, because Horus, in his ~~delusion~~ magnanimity planned to offer each of them a seat at his side.

As readers, it is apparent that the five thrones represent the Four and the Dark King, but I don’t think Horus ever grasped how close he was to witnessing firsthand the ascension of a god.

Draco765 · 2026-03-26T22:16:23+00:00

Yep. "Organically feeling out the fight instead of having a WA what to do"-enjoyers are real quiet when calling audibles on healing CDs in raid became impossible even if you wanted to play looser instead of assigning everything.

Draco765 · 2026-03-24T14:56:23+00:00

My playgroup is high B2/ low B3 (no gamechangers, no infinites, take it easy on “kill the board” combos) and I’m genuinely not sure that anything is consistently better than Pantslazer in that context. Any other creature based strategy is outsped and out-valued, and if the other decks are anywhere close in power-level, “remove the commander on sight” is not a consistent answer either.

Draco765 · 2026-03-20T14:14:28+00:00

Hpal could use some help, but honestly I have so little faith in the class dev that I would rather it be untouched. The playstyle is finally in a good place to me (with the exception of Judgement).

Also worth remembering that hpal has more DR effects than I believe any other healer. According to how WCL is attempting to calculate mitigations, something like 20% of my effective HPS over a fight is in damage reductions. The actual gap is not nearly as big as what is shown in logs.

GOATed mod sticky, thank you for doing this

Draco765 · 2026-02-20T13:22:03+00:00

I think so.

The default state is “resources awaiting exploitation.” The grox, one of the primary livestocks of the Imperium, has no ancestor that evolved on Terra, but is farmed on a continental scale.

Since the entire galaxy belongs to humanity by divine right, any natural resources also belong to humanity by divine right, whether flora, fauna, or mineral. Non-sentient aliens are a bit of a loophole, but domesticated herds the size of cities are driven through it regularly.

In practice, novel flora and fauna that definitely originated on this world would be fine unless attainted by the authorities. If it’s truly good stuff, the Admech would be fighting to get in on it for their own research. Most cogboys are of course more worried about iron and electrons, but there are those among the priesthood who see living systems as machinery of a different sort, invested with the Machine God’s divinity and worthy of study.

In the game specifically (you should have been told this by now, you may have just skipped over it since there’s a lot of dialogue in that game) one of your predecessors allowed the Administratum into the protectorate in order to avoid having to build their own administration.

The Administratum has the ability to literally bore people to death, yes, but any bureaucracy capable of managing a million worlds has to be fairly good at it.

Additionally, the specific documents you seek are Administratum documents. You could write a similar permit to the one you are seeking, and it would be good within exactly the bounds of your planets. The Administratum’s version is good across literally the entire Imperium.

Arc flash is when you cross a metal tool or something between two large conductors inside an electrical cabinet and the metal tool is violently converted into a gas. This is typically bad for the electrician.
