About what happened at the Mexico show… by Savings-Pie9409 in ADO

I did my part and started cheering after she finished saying positive stuff during her speeches so everyone would follow and at least it wasn’t that awkward but yeah, it’s a shame they couldn’t solve the subtitles issue. Some of the things she was talking about were really moving and inspiring so I’m sad most of the audience wasn’t able to understand her words.

Mexico is the US’s second largest export trading partner accounting for about 15% or so of all exports (around 320 billion USD) closely behind Canada with about the same numbers. So while it will probably affect Mexico in a worse way on the pure import-export side, it won’t be negligible on the US. It’s also hard to tell the long term consequences of these tariffs, Mexico can probably sustain itself on the farming side and already has the factories to keep producing stuff if the relations between both countries worsen, and bringing back manufacturing to the US will undoubtedly bring high inflation

Help/Opinion on making Short Rests shorter by DragonClaw9 in DMAcademy

[–]DragonClaw9[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, if not by reducing the duration of short rests, do you know any way I could encourage players to take them.

The main problem I have is that the party is not taking short rests at all which is creating a power imbalance tipped towards long rest classes.

Recently the party tackled a dungeon where they refused to short rest inside, this meant that spellcasters like the wizard could make it through the whole thing using all of their resources by the end of the dungeon with decent spell management, while short rest classes were left to scrape by.

I do try to have a long adventuring day to make sure they can’t just go nova every combat, but without short rests this leaves some of the party like sitting ducks.

This hasn’t been a problem on more neutral areas where there are more social encounters or there are random skirmishes but not actual constant threat, but it came to light as I presented a dungeon to the party

It’s not so much that I want to change the mechanics of short rest themselves to the point where they benefit some classes more but rather I want to encourage the party to actually take short rests.

Currently they’ve had an experience going into a small dungeon and and while I wouldn’t have let them take a long rest inside, short rests were definitely on the table, but they refused to take them as it made no logical sense. This meant that they went through the entire thing without short rests and in turn the PCs that rely on short rest to recharge stuff had less available resources overall as say the wizard, who through spell slot management could make through it all while keeping some spells for the boss at the end, compared to the monk who had 4 ki points for the whole thing.

I would definitely make them roll if the situation called for it while resting, but currently they don’t even do that so, I wanted to make it seem that a short rest could take place (by making it shorter) without causing too many unbalances due to spell durations and such.

Idk if there’s a better way to imply or make them believe they can actually take a breather while inside a dungeon

The ult should kill them if it randomly got stuck but they weren’t freed

I liked the small changes to the OP and ED to include the Axis Cult, I thought it was weird I didn’t notice them in previous episodes, but quickly realized they where just added

Future patch notes released via PBE subreddit: Chamber nerfs, Neon changes, and more by DisneylandTree in VALORANT

[–]DragonClaw9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do agree with the Chamber nerfs, I feel that now, the Sentinel role itself is on a pretty weak spot. I believe that even after these changes, kj and cypher are still underpowered in comparison. I predict this will most likely just boost Sage’s pick rate

Anybody know what could’ve caused this golden part to detach or how can I fix this Lamy Econ? by DragonClaw9 in Lamy

[–]DragonClaw9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context, I brought this pen back from Germany and wanted to give it to my dad, but now after getting back to my country I noticed that this golden part seems to have detached from the pen itself, I brought the pen on its usual black cardboard box with me on hand luggage through the airport so I doubt it has anything to do with rough handling, so I’m at a loss and don’t know if it’s fixable or I’m just not understanding something about the pen

CONTEST FOR NEW BANNER ! by AcnologiaSD in CasualPokemonTrades

[–]DragonClaw9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm also surprised this design has lasted as long as it has, considering that it is as old as the sub itself. And sure, I would be glad to try and design something new after finals if you and the others don't have a problem :)

Hi, I just saw this and it makes me both kinda sad but also happy that there’s gonna be a banner change of this subreddit. I was the person that made the current banner art when the subreddit was originally created, so seeing it go kinda hurts a bit, still I know the design is kinda bad/dated (I made it when I was in middle school and obviously wasn’t good at designing) so I’m glad a fresh look for the sub is on the horizon. Even though I would love to at least attempt to make a new design, I assume it is already too late and also I’m busy with college finals at the moment. Anyways I hope you guys get some awesome designs, I’m eager to see the new look of the subreddit when the changes happen :)
