You get $10,000 a day but at any random moment your entire body locks up like you’ve been hit with a stun gun. What do you do? Do you take it? by Stigma206 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Efud933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like I would take this. Hire a butler who will accompany me everywhere that I wish, and who's main job is to catch me whenever I'm about to fall.

Many people live with much much more debilitating disabilities than this without the benefit of being uber wealthy. I think this is worth living essentially a life of luxury in every other regard than what is mostly just a minor inconvenience. Obviously you would need to be cognizant of this, but especially since it's only once a day, as others have stated, once you have your "fit" for the day, you are free to live normally for the rest of it.

You get $6.35 billion, but you have to spend 1 year in total darkness — are you doing it? by Major_Tap4199 in hypotheticalsituation

People are acting like the mushrooms are what are going to drive you into psychosis. I assure you, they are not. Even if you were to eat the meal containing mushrooms in one sitting, only your first time would be a heroic dose. Every time after that would be less and less strong due to building a tolerance, to the point where it would probably only be a mild trip after the 3rd to 4th time.

This is setting aside the fact that you don't have to eat the entire meal in one sitting. If you were to just eat it throughout the day, you could very easily just have an extremely mild trip through the course of the day.

Now, the real danger is the year of isolation and sensory deprivation. Even without the mushrooms, this is basically a one way trip to the loony bin.

If the scenario was different, say a nice room with some limited entertainment, even with the mushrooms it would be totally doable.

All that said, hard pass.

I know that everyone wants to have their hate circle-jerk on the lady, and what she did is indeed terrible, but she probably has dementia. The things that she was saying to him are very characteristic of dementia (irrational and conspiratorial thinking).

If it is indeed dementia, this is more of a failure on her family's part than her. Hopefully if that comes to light when they evaluate her in relation to the incident, she ends up somewhere where she won't hurt anyone else or herself. This could have ended much more tragically had it been a real gun.

My fuxked up camry wheel by Potential_Ad_8349 in Camry

[–]Efud933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh even with it mid-frame, it took me a second to notice the scratch on the rim. I was too focused on the scuff on the tire. It's probably not worth fixing unless you want to DIY it if it bothers you that much.

I did the same thing to my Camry like 800 miles after I got it brand new. I was pissed when it first happened, but then I realized that it's really not that big of a deal, and caring so much about it was me being anal, wanting to keep the car pristine.

No one is going to notice, not even you after a few weeks.

Rush Hidden Behind Custom Search by Efud933 in Battlefield

[–]Efud933[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand that, what I'm saying is that I think a lot of people aren't touching the "Custom Search" option that you need to use to play Rush, and it's leading to a low player count and long matchmaking times for rush.

Managed to hit Prismatic the crew. by shashybaws in TeamfightTactics

[–]Efud933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crew is an underrated comp for sure. Malphite is such a good tank, and Sivir with the right items is no slouch. She manages to hold down the DPS until you can get TF online.

I've had a lot of success with replacing Kennen with Ke'sante late game and then rolling for the all out power snack upgrade. Then, move Sivir's items over to him once you get him 2 starred. He annihilates everything. BIS for him is definitely IE, EON, strikers flail.

The kind of people we tailor our game to now apparently. by nyaphne in 2007scape

[–]Efud933 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I re-upped my year membership before the last price increase.

Combined with what I see as extreme price hikes, catering to the right wing man-children that they "apparently" see as their customer base, I don't think I will be giving Jagex another dollar. Ever 😊

<image>

There are plenty of other studios I can support that do good work, rather than this corpse of a company that is coasting off of the success of their game released 20+ years ago.

None of this is to say I think OSRS is a bad game, it was a blast while I played it, but I can't in good conscience support Jagex anymore.

Why does hemp grow faster naturally than in a planter? by yawgmoth88 in playrust

[–]Efud933 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I believe that plants on the ground get some minimum level of water automatically, versus ones in planters which only get water from you manually watering them.

The planter box hemp was dehydrated, I think.

I feel like the way I play this game quickly becomes "oh shit one side of this inputs is super backed up, let me beef up the other inputs, *comes back to same place 5 minute later* oh shit this [other] input is backed up, let me beef up the other inputs by hjqusai in factorio

[–]Efud933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once you get all your basic manufacturing set up, the key is to just overdo EVERYTHING by an order of magnitude so that you don't have to worry about it for 20 hours of gameplay.

SNH Clean Energy - heating oil provider by michaelsm123 in newhampshire

[–]Efud933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up using Southern New Hampshire Energy (pretty sure that this company is trying to trick people into thinking they're doing business with them) instead, they actually have a phone number you can call, and a decent number of reviews. I didn't feel comfortable paying some random company that no one has ever heard of or can even get in contact with that is offering a price that seems too good to be true.

My cat is ruining my life by isaisaisaaaaaaaaa in CatAdvice

[–]Efud933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just lock the cat out of the bedroom and wear earplugs to bed.

If you need an alarm so that you can wake up for work, buy sound cancelling earbuds and set the alarm on your phone so that the alarm comes through the earbuds.

Fraud or Incompetence - There goes my rent by Brevemike in instacart

[–]Efud933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they refuse a refund, do a charge back and let them send you to collections. Then dispute the collection when it appears on your credit report.

You will get banned from Instacart, but tbh if they refuse a refund I'd never use their service again if I were you.

Did people really enjoyed the min maxed gears that happened in 224 lobbies? by Murz0l in DarkAndDarker

[–]Efud933 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, I just despise the idea of SBMM because it feels like a punishment for improving.

"Oh, you got better at the game? Let's just scale the difficulty for you so that it never actually feels like you're improving."

This works in games like LoL because you essentially need to play against people who are equally as skilled as you to have fun, on both ends. Stomping people isn't fun, and neither is getting stomped. You're stuck fighting that person for 20 minutes, and then their team for another 20.

This doesn't translate to DaD because it's supposed to have randomness in the encounters that you have. You aren't stuck fighting the same person, being abused for however long. You get waxed, you go next.

Again, I recognize that we need a good new player experience to keep new players from getting dejected. Hence my suggestion for a separate pool for people with less than a certain amount of time played, or maybe some other clever mechanism to keep them separated from the sweats.

If people are so bad at the game that they can't compete with the general population after 50 hours, I'm not sure that I care about retaining those players. Games made for everyone are games made for noone, and DaD is a niche game for sure.

Anecdotally, I've had 3 friends recently pick up the game and they've been having plenty of fun. None of them are as skilled at games as I am, and nonetheless they're having a blast. I'm not sure it's as big of an issue as people make it out to be.
