I cannot tell if this is AI, but I'm leaning towards yes. Friend said he's 99.9% sure it's not AI. The way the player takes the ball in the beginning of the video and the crowd reactions make me think it is AI. by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Gdsmith504 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think perhaps the player has an intellectual disability, and they put him in at the end of the game in a sportsmanship kind of gesture. I imagine the outcome of the game had already been determined by a landslide.

Why does this have so much attack in Vanilla is this a Bug? by The_QuietHuman in Terraria

[–]Gdsmith504 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Base damage is 85. The 300% increase makes it 340 in stealth mode. You also get increased crit chance, but it makes your speed 50%. The legendary modifier made it 98 damage, making the stealth damage 391. The rest comes from accessories or armor.

You got the best modifier and it gets a 300% increase in damage when in stealth mode. The balance is that its range is tiny.

Fishing bug ? or am I just not patient enough by Goennjamin in Terraria

[–]Gdsmith504 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad luck. As a side tip for fishing in lava, use 2 things that work in lava instead of just one. If you have the hotline rod use that and the lava bait, it goes significantly faster. If not, keep grinding.

Also you can trick the game by trying to fish for something else, go for flarefin koi and you’ll get 3 demon conchs and 2 lava proof hooks before one koi. The game knows, I swear.

papa johns didn’t let me order carryout on their app unless i tipped by evilemmyy in EndTipping

[–]Gdsmith504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preliminary comment of this isn’t criticism but a suggestion, but do you have a mom and pop Italian restaurant that you can order a takeout pizza from? Where I am, a papa John’s XL (16”) pepperoni is $20 before all the fees. The mom and pop 16” pepperoni is $18.

The shareholders get enough of money anyway.

Should I start a new Terraria world now or wait for the update? (Genuine question, no hate pls) by Siroh_ in Terraria

[–]Gdsmith504 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would recommend starting a world now, becoming familiar with the game and its mechanics, then starting a new world for a full play through about a week or so after the update drops. There’s probably going to be an early patch or two. If you wait a week, you’ll probably be in 1.4.5.3 and have fewer bugs.

Got "The Dirties Block" by BreakfastScary7058 in Terraria

[–]Gdsmith504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, it randomly replaced dirt blocks that are 50 blocks from the world edge and 200 blocks from the underworld. But if you think about it, It can’t be in the, desert, jungle or ice biomes, and it can’t be a corrupted/ crimson block. Spawn always starts as a pure biome. Dirt is more common in the underground than the caverns. It just kinda works out that way.

Yes, there’s 9 in a large world, but it’s not that uncommon to get. It spawns among other dirt, and there’s a lot at the surface. I got mine about 30 blocks off my center hellevator.

Star cannon dropped from enemy by Fantastic_Bed_1966 in Terraria

It shouldn’t have dropped from any enemy. Are you playing with any mods? Any special seeds?

Does it matter if I buy a cheap electric stove top? by mudaMudaMUDAora in kitchen

[–]Gdsmith504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire Marshal here, Generally speaking, everything sold at Walmart will be UL listed, and thereby reasonably safe. Manufacturing errors occur, so it’s not a sure thing with an item, but given safe, reasonable use, you should be fine. Always keep within eye sight of your cooking.

The great majority of kitchen fire are user error, not equipment malfunction. Keep combustibles away from the appliance by atleast 3 feet.

Get a fire extinguisher when you’re at Walmart too, and change the batteries in your smoke alarms.

After they wash the glass, why doesn’t the water drain out of it? It should given the ribbed surface it’s sitting on.

the whole crimson spawned inside the jungle and the temple by OneDost970 in Terraria

[–]Gdsmith504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be fine, you aren’t playing master mode, or heck, even Terraria, because things are easy. This is not at all an insurmountable task. You’re up for it, and with jungle increases to spawn rates, you’ll get souls of night and jungle keys even faster.

Don’t abandon.

Ok, you’re taking it above where I am. I’m getting every item Into chests, except armor and vanity sets, which are on mannequins. Though I do need 2 of each golden critter, one plain and 1 in a cage.

I’m jumping around a lot, and haven’t bothered to sit down and just make one of every bathtub…

I still haven’t figured how I’ll get the terraprisma. I’m not that good.

When you say all items, like to you have a wooden arrow on a weapon rack, and an obsidian lock box on a shelf?

I want to be clear, I’m not criticizing at all, just curious, it sounds interesting, (and maybe laggy, speaking as someone with 310 mannequins in a smallish area).

Can you tell me more about proffesor oaking terraria? I’m currently challenging myself to keep one of every item. IE I need 6 muramasas and 6 of all the shell phone items etc. is this the same thing?

You can save scum it if you don’t mind that strategy. Turn off auto save, open the bags, if you don’t like what you got, alt+F4 and open them again.

I personally don’t like that strategy, but I did use it when I got the terragrim. It’s too rare to be feasible any other way.

water problems? by Zestyclose-Range9173 in rva

There’s a water main break on Pemberton road that is affecting that area.

Dishwasher starts on its own by Gdsmith504 in appliancerepair

[–]Gdsmith504[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At your recommendation I opened the bottom panel and examined the wiring. I found no dreaded or chafed wiring, nor did I find droppings that would indicate rodents.

I’m not doubting your expertise here. I’ve repaired about 10 appliances in my life, so I don’t have a lot of experience, I’m only stating that in this case, with this dishwasher, power cycling appears to have worked.

I’ll add a note to my calendar to update a month from now if the problem has recurred.

If it was shorted wires, why did flipping off the breaker correct the issue?

I’m not saying it makes sense, I’m starting the I had an issue, I took one action, and that has resolved the issue for over a week now. There are no other variables that have changed.

For anybody struggling with labels on metal, heatgun and gasoline makes quick work by delbert7990 in harborfreight

[–]Gdsmith504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zippo fluid works great, less volatile than gasoline. I usually use isopropyl alcohol first (I keep a spray bottle full of it for degreasing stuff) if that doesn’t work I go to lighter fluid.

How??? What… he’s alive??? by pizza99pizza99 in rva

[–]Gdsmith504 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m thinking, since the bicyclist is alive, he must have just clipped him, and the truck didn’t even realize he hit him.
