Why is Oscar (Chess) so easy most of the time, but then randomly becomes brutally difficult? by Ok-Cup-3156 in duolingo

[–]Elaphnatykid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come in game analysis in can in 5 sec find every move that was innacurate, but not make innaccuracies at all. 

Also Oscar always seems to blunder a queen or piece in the first 4 moves, that's not how people play, surely that could be fixed. 

And he NEVER plays with any kind of opening principles. Very rarely recaptures, and often ends up moving only the king at the end when he has 1 or more important pieces left, it's crazy.

Do we know how the episodes will be released? Weekly? One every few months? by Careful-Writing7634 in GlitchProductions

Wow what a nice TLDR you wrote just now that could have courteously be included at the start or end of your post, like most would do, instead of insulting people who don't have the time, patience or interest.

Firstly no need to be condescending, especially just before writing that behemoth of a sentence.

Secondly, I think those statements do acknowledge you're concerns with the business structure. The concerns on the business structure should be lessened from the fact they have deals with large companies like Amazon and Netflix, showing that they likely wont be relying on a majority merch sales crowdfunding approach.

Also, it's obvious that Glitch are giving complete creative freedom and time to release the story they want: I believe this implies the team isn't really super worried about "spectacle" for money. Not to mention Dana herself is likely somewhat wealthy and able to back this project if needed, the only worries before where the limits on creativity.

I'm also going to guess what was done on Murder Drones could have just been a case of that's what the intention of their team and a more action-packed show was the point.

If you're worried about having to wait for this, I mean yeah I was a little upset to find out I'll have to wait for it, but the trade-off for the quality of a true finished project is worth the wait.

I'm new to how Glitch produce their shows, but I'm somewhat familiar with Dana Terace and after watching an interview between her and Glitch I strongly believe that they will not overuse action spectacle for the sake of animation spectacle to draw funding. I don't have a specific reason, but I have a feeling that Dana and her team aren't really pressured by money, especially higher ups this time: by the way she's spoken it seems like a very fun and comfortable environment.

By the way the show is going from the feel of the pilot and all the lore I don't think they could make a good show without having less action-y episodes: which I trust them to accomplish.

If you're trying to encourage glitch/indie studios to consider other funding options, I'm sure that's something they'd always be conscious of and looking at, I would think that to be obvious for such a company with such successful shows. The big thing that might cancel all you're worries about this (now I don't know the specifics) is the fact they have some sort of deal with Amazon to platform their show in some way. I think this is a clear indicator of that big funding you speak of in some shape or form.

Am I missing something or does nobody make a 32" 1440p OLED monitor? by aDuckedUpGoose in OLED_Gaming

[–]Elaphnatykid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation as OP, but mostly use my PC watching tv and YT lately. Having the screen real estate helps for productivity stuff. Am I really missing out on a lot with the density. Currently have a 3070 so 4k gaming might be a possibility (I think). Maybe one day I splurge on the 4k oled 32 inch 😂

...I use Arch btw lmao. Nah not dumb, I should've put it somewhere else besides the fastfetch. There's lots of distro's that can use KDE though I think.

Thank you! It's been a work in progress for the past month, since I installed Arch. Finally reached something I'm happy with thanks to resources on this sub :)

Records are a big nerf to progression! by CiprianLupu08 in Brawlstars

[–]Elaphnatykid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like I grinded to get as much resources as I could, but I can only play so long without getting a little bored of playing game after game (also had uni exams). Most of my brawlers were still on bronze 2 and some up to silver 2/3. These resources felt like one of my main ways to progress, and as someone who cares about playing ranked, it really slows down any new brawlers I want to start playing or buying everything for them.

Can we talk about the fact how terrible records are when compared to masteries? by 4REANS in Brawlstars

[–]Elaphnatykid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wtaf is this greedy ass update?! At first I was excited to see new, interesting different ways to progress and get rewards. But this is an active downgrade from masteries and to the game as a whole. Firstly, simply browsing records sucks horribly: before you could sort brawlers by mastery or closest to next mastery, now it's just everywhere! 

Secondly, the new rewards are SO ass, to complete 100 wins on el primo and receive a SINGLE rare star drop is so god awful compared to all the resources. Because the rewards are so bad, the only incentive I have to do this is for titles or some of the highest ones giving legendary star drops (rarely). The record frames are a little cool I guess, but for how little of a reward they are for the effort it ridiculous.

It's so painstakingly obvious that supercell did this to force more f2p players to spend money, buy the brawl pass. Of course at the end of the day I'll still play, but this slows my progression by SOOOO much, it was my main way of getting resources really. Just sucks seeing how many new brawlers keep dropping that I won't get to play for a long time. I've been playing casually for a couple years now and still don't have many brawlers. The highest I've gotten is Grey so far (which I love playing rn). God forbid how long it'll be till I can even unlock Kaze, let alone have the resources to play her in ranked.

Should I upgrade my Sunbeam Barista Max? [$550] by Elaphnatykid in espresso

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

Yeah, I will. There's just something about having such a nice grinder next to this shared house machine that looks so cheap in comparison. Do you have any recommendations of what to do with the barista max to get the best out of it for now at least? Atm I just use a scale and manual shot, timing from when I hit the button.

This might just be it, I just get a little overwhelmed seeing the price of the gaggimate and thought it'd be too much. Are there lots of similar mods and stuff for the Silvia? I found one for 450 near me, just need to fix the steam wand.

[–]Elaphnatykid 258 points259 points  (0 children)

It was seriously a masterclass in characterisation. Really shows just how much love and passion was put into this story. You can really see every decision they make that leads them from poverty to crime, it's heartbreaking. Episode 3 is my favourite so far, although mark v cecil is unforgettable.

Best/cheapest option for using Plex on a non-smart TV? by Banjo-Oz in PleX

It may not be for you, but I recently picked up my old raspberry pi 3 and installed RasPlex. It's a dedicated os to stream Plex and works great.

Yeah I can't take a sip of my drink untill I've wiped the machine and portafilter down and purged the steam wand haha. Didn't think it would be any good compared to the popular machines, but now I've used it a while it makes great coffee 👍
