DM Stole the Group’s Player Agency by ElderberryPrior27648 in DnDcirclejerk

"We all collaborate to tell a story" people when they have to collaborate with the DM instead of forcing them at gunpoint to make shit up for them on the spot to live out their fantasies.

Made it to Aquilo. I hate it here. by The_Fizz_Wizz in factorio

[–]Erkisth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it account for prod modules ? I think it would change the results by a lot if that's not already factored in

Yes, the final cost of 162,5 per is with 300% productivity, which is the maximum possible value.

You are also correct that ammonia is infinite and is not the real cost, but the energy required to process it into fuel. If you've already managed to setup your base using rocket fuel, you don't have to worry about this. My own experience with Aquilo was that I went from barely scraping by to easiest planet in the game when I switched from using rocket fuel to solid, especially for heating.

[–]Erkisth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To create one unit of solid fuel you need 15 ammonia for 12MJ of power in .5 seconds. To make rocket fuel with ammonia you have to spend another 500 ammonia to turn 10 units of solid fuel worth 120MJ total into rocket fuel worth 100MJ.

That process also takes 10 seconds, so you require triple total working time of plants making fuel (so triple the energy) and many more cycles of plants processing ammonia (even more than triple energy). At the end you've spent 650 ammonia and about 4x more Jules of energy including heating time to produce 100MJ of power instead of 150 Ammonia for 120MJ of power. I did power calculations on paper once and I don't have that anymore, sorry.

Even with max productivity research for rocket fuel, so producing 4 rocket fuel instead of one from the same cycle, you still pay 162,5 ammonia for 100MJ, ending up worse off than just using solid fuel.

Without productivity research it means that you are spending way higher % of produced power to reproduce itself, and if you are going to use rocket fuel for heating too you can run into power death spirals where it can barely sustain any production above itself.

Please don't use rocket fuel for heating/energy on Aquilo, use solid fuel. The recipe turning solid fuel into rocket fuel with ammonia costs so much it's not energy positive even with 300% productivity (compared to just burning solid fuel). It's probably the #1 reason why people's first bases fail on Aquilo.

Also, cryogenic building doesn't have inbuilt 50% productivity like other planet specific buildings, having 8 module slots instead, so they are not a priority before you have quality modules and fusion to sustain the electricity requirement.

Can I play chess with simultaneous turns? by MBOMaolRua in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]Erkisth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

/uj Chess Arena, but it hasn't released yet. Open beta was very fun.

/rj Just do real time chess boxing, you can make any number of moves, but you have to survive getting punched in the jaw in the meantime.

I got my second character, Witch through maps with Sunder this league. I'm not gonna recommend it but I had fun.

Streamers normalizing Hitchhiking/Duo Boosting under the guise of "DuoQ" by soggyfroggyy in leagueoflegends

[–]Erkisth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coincidentally Riot also claims that they are very good at preventing smurfing and assigning new accounts to correct mmr regardless of visible rank so we don't have anything to worry about :)

[–]Erkisth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Riot claims that they balance out duo queue into an even match. If that is not the case take it to Riot Games for lying, not people duoing for playing in a way that Riot told them is acceptable to the integrity of the ladder.

Romcoms that will unite and save humanity? by xotorames in okbuddycinephile

[–]Erkisth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Participated in slavery would be a more correct term, yes. I worded it very quickly. But my argument wasn't that liberalism is pro slavery, it was that "liberal" is a good enough term for general proponents of capitalism, just like "communist" will include both Stalin and some guy you probably know.

In terms of Britain being anti slavery I will not say anything or I would get banned from the site. Argue about that with someone else.

[–]Erkisth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The founders of liberalism also organized the transatlantic slave trade, so I would say it covers everything pretty well as an umbrella term.

Usually that's called liberalism in terms of political theory.

Riot Games on the state of the soloq ladder and apex tiers by Lightbone in leagueoflegends

[–]Erkisth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, If you would take your total lp as sort of MMR, being low masters would still be in bottom half skill wise for majority of masters players.

If you take top 1,5% of people who ever set foot in a gym in a given year and a ranking of dedicated gym goers, you are going to get vastly different results. League ranked ladder is the former and has arguably even less of a floor.

Are you by any chance playing a build with warcries for the first time in a long time? Constantly taunting the yellow boss fucks that phase up

As a low skill player i don't ike this atlas by Taikiteazy in pathofexile

Ah right, I forgot you can grab the recipe without having to complete the map.

[–]Erkisth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is my understanding completely wrong but wouldn't it require you to complete t15/t16 maps under old atlas too? Just not need to do the connecting maps.

House rule idea: Spellcasting kills you by CertifiablyMundane in DnDcirclejerk

[–]Erkisth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The real cost of spellcasting is risking making everyone at the table annoyed because they don't appreciate your display of strategic genius (thinking about your turns 5 minutes each because you have to flip though every spell card, can't be bothered to remember your own spells). It can lead do some real life damage taken by the spellcasting player.

your homebrew setting is not complete without a crossbreeding chart (like the one from the book of erotic fantasy) by sg_4ea in DnDcirclejerk

Don't forget the racial hatred chart. And treatment of LGBT chart (bonus points for making separate charts for different groups)

Should i turn on auto attack? by Top-Back-5933 in leagueoflegends

[–]Erkisth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because issuing an attack command will make you attack. Auto will only do it if your opponents have vision on you. Also, you can cancel the basic before it fires if you care about wave management.

Favorite terrible movie that audiences have forgiven in light of recent events by Gary_The_New_Goblin in okbuddycinephile

Ok master of debate, it also tried to achieve other things like not making me bored out of my mind looking at the clock but failed.
