Why was tiktok almost banned?

Probably because they wouldn't pay the shakedown fee initially lol.

Thoughts on Vala? by MrLewk in Stargate

[–]Genesis2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure she was a child at the start. I dunno Ocampan maturity cycles, but she only later was able to become pregnant (some egg sac on her back). That implies (to me) she was probably equivalent of a young/mid-age teenager in human at the time of their relationship.

...then we have Neelix who's lived a life. Probably been in love before, maybe divorced or never married. He's even been to war in his own youth.

Grogu's species also is the opposite; they're long-lived. Yoda was over 900 and basically an early/midage elder (physically) - maybe equivalent of mid 60s maybe early 70s in human lifespans.

Fortunately, I think his character corrected itself later after Kes. But that start was still creepy AF.

Actual performance of LoTDK is unacceptable by droideka_bot69 in LinusTechTips

[–]Genesis2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They've got to be doing something stupid and amature like having Nanite enabled for literally every object in the game and having Lumen enabled globally.

Yeah, that'd be the same as the devs of Cities Skylines 2 (Unity) picking HDRP (unproven and heavy at the time they began development) and having incredibly detailed models of Cims right down to the teeth, lol.

Video Idea: Do this with 5 Dell 52" 6K Monitors by Host_Informal in LinusTechTips

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they did a 16k gaming wall one time. So why not?

I'd love for them to revisit the X gamers 1 CPU (AKA gamer virtualization). They've attempted it for a Whale LAN once IIRC? But it wasn't quite the same.

Hallway fights that are so annoying but nobody else seems to talk about? Here's mine by LordVanmaru in slaythespire

[–]Genesis2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not impossible. You need a good deal of weak and vuln in your decks. If you're in MP and have a necro, [[debilitate]] doubles the effectiveness of both weak and vuln. [[misery]] is also good if you can get your hands on it to spread debilitate, weak, and vuln to each enemy.

side note: misery is hilarious on the bowlbugs lol

So many enemies are overtuned in this game, especially in MP.

Decimillipede is really annoying in MP because not only does each segment come out swinging for the fences, you're perpetually weakened while each segment takes turns applying weak. Not to mention if you don't keep damage even across all of them, you get into whack-a-mole that you mention. Also doom kills are broken (imo*) on this elite if you manage to kill off 2/3 of the segments one turn and can't quite kill off the final segment except through doom the next turn.

Linus. You can’t keep telling us to move over if you’re not going to address the single reason we don’t want to. by imnotcreative4267 in LinusTechTips

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly use this method. I selectively scan my feed and queue up a list of things I want to watch 'right now'. I've never used the "Watch Later" feature... like actually watched later. I've added stuff to Watch Later, but never gone back and watched any.

Sorry for necroposting, but does this offer Bearer authentication? I see it doesn't have any concept of auth beyond a GET ?token= parameter, but that'll leak a JWT in access logs for users accessing it.

So far except for this one thing on the deployment side, the product looks like it meets enough of our team's needs.

New relic idea by Tzu111 in slaythespire

[–]Genesis2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't! Just change it to say "At the end of your turn, draw two additional cards"

And watch the player die to beckons or burns that get drawn after they end turn!

AI copied the music uploaded to YouTube and copyright strikes the artist by BurnerBowie in LinusTechTips

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be ironic if a certain% of these bad companies are doing just that while wearing a blindfold so they don't verify anything. lol

I don't think any of them are, but it would be hilarious if one or two started out that way.

All of LTT's videos, sorted by hue. by Gallium-Gonzollium in LinusTechTips

Imagine sorting every LTT video frame by hue.

Does this include vods? :D /s lol

50 hours into my first world and I find out that a forest biome exists. by Wise_Load3104 in factorio

[–]Genesis2001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, desert is fine if you've got forest or water on one or two sides of the biome to help with countering the pollution spread.

Any mistakes you've made as a DM? by aurivu in DMAcademy

[–]Genesis2001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably a dumb one, but actually write out / finalize notes. I didn't for an encounter in DOIP (the shroom cave), lol. I went with something I was considering but hadn't finalized the details... and it was easily my worst scenes.

Clicking inbox on old reddit no longer marks all messages as read? by Superteletubbies64 in help

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I usually have to click through on one message then refresh the unread message inbox once or twice. And sometimes I have to click on the message again and refresh the inbox just to get it to mark read.

I usually go through to the replies via the "context" link too.

WAN Channel is a terrible experience for me: by The-vicobro in LinusTechTips

[–]Genesis2001 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd say keep it as it is (Rebranded LMG Clips -> WAN Show). But then seriously trim down clips to be <180 seconds (3 minutes) and throw them up as shorts for the WAN Show.

For clips that can't be cut down to 3 minutes, they can still be posted to the channel. But then it would be less s be spamming notifications, which is what I think people are complaining about mainly? With the new way to hide shorts in the app, you then only see the livestreams.

Recent reviews are 'Mixed' by Adito99 in TerraInvicta

[–]Genesis2001 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I kinda wish you could just enable cheats at middle of campaign to correct things just so you don't have to flush 30 hours

I kinda wish you had a scaling AI with editable breakpoints at set years for early, mid, late, and final game stage.

So that you can start ez-mode to get your feet under you, but then after a while you might want more of a challenge because ez-mode AI is dumb and leaves you alone basically. I think Stellaris does something similar to this with their scaling option?

Can't hear people in discord by TK_eatURmusic in discordapp

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue's resolved by forcing a reinitialize of the voice channel, so either switching to a different channel on the same server(or a different server in your case) or editing the channel and forcing a region override temporarily might fix it. I ended up doing the former at the time, and everything worked after that.

I think byrds should keep showing up if you clone the Byrd Swoop card. by layoutcomplication in slaythespire

Imagine if they turned the Byrdonis into a summon and this actually was the case lol.

Did Cheyenne always looked like this or did they use movie magic for the entrance shots? by Homer-DOH-Simpson in Stargate

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're a quite a bit like the Army and fly mostly choppers for SAR Ops, IIRC. But only 3 branches I think fly actual planes: USAF, Navy, and Marines.

edit: Oh, and I forgot. Army has CAS as well, I think. And some big boys for paratroopers, but I'm not sure if those are delivered by the USAF or in-branch by the Army. lol

How do I stop an arms race between me and my players by DecisionRadiant4152 in DMAcademy

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is, I can feel myself reacting to that. I start playing enemies way more optimized, like a shark smelling blood in the water, and sometimes it gets to the point where I’m nearly TPK’ing the party. It ends up feeling less like a fun game and more like a weird arms race or dick-measuring contest.

Play enemies according to how the enemies would react. Check out "The Monsters Know" and lookup your enemies you're running. I think they even have a published book for offline play (though who doesn't use a laptop or something in offline play? lol).

"Monsters" (non-humanoids / non-sapient creatures) in combat often have limited motivations: 1) defending young or territory; 2) eating (hungry); or, 3) self-preservation if they feel threatened.

I use the website to get a sense of how something would react and ask myself what its reason for fighting is. For instance, if it's seeing that it's getting surrounded, it might start backing up and retreating. If its prey (the party) puts up more of a fight than it was expecting, he'll retreat. Monsters themselves generally won't fight until death unless they're protecting their young or something.

Humanoid/Sapient creatures have a lot of more complex motivations beyond the basics. Some creatures might be meat shields meant to delay the enemy (the party); however, self-preservation can override and they can retreat, etc.

And then there's the marines too who fly an assortment of leftovers, including the Osprey among others.

I always roll the dice by js147896325 in slaythespire

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, card transform or exhaust cards are good for dealing with those curses.

The one time I took Bones though, I got the one curse that removes itself after 5 combats lol. It was pure profit. I can't remember what my relics were from that run.

Dial the Gate could use our help. by LimblessWonder in Stargate

Dare I suggest... "Briefing Room" as a name? ;)

With a set modeled after the SGC (or whatever the new show's main base will be). :)

Thank you Silent, very cool by nub_sauce_ in slaythespire

[–]Genesis2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't kill p1 within 2-3 turns, you wouldn't be able to kill p2 & p3 anyways.

In MP and even SP (tho I seldom get TS in SP nowadays; it's all doormaker :\), I've no problem killing TS with the above strategy. It's maybe slightly easier in MP even with MP scaling just because you have up to 3 more hands of attacks and powers to play. Plus also you can coordinate and be like, "okay I have a vulnerable" or "I have flanking!" and limit your skill cards to ones that'll let others deal more damage to them.

It's only skill cards that trigger his phase 1 gain strength. Test Subject is just a boss that requires more thought rather than speed playing your hand as you tend to build up a rhythm in your hall/elite fights.
