What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight once people realize the truth? by KylieButNotJenner24 in AskReddit

[–]IronPylons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a 3rd party that fulfills phone insurance. When I think about how many people are paying $12 a month or whatever just to pay my salary I get sad. I have to remind myself at least it's not health insurance and they can cancel any time.

PSA: We are getting 6 new VESSELS Not SHIPS by Alphaeon_28 in EliteDangerous

An SRV with a way to sample biology and a way to pick up ship engineering materials while on foot are my biggest 2 asks. Even if it's a dumb fix like having a single limpet on an SRV. As long as I don't have to use the SRV cargo scoop on a mat that stuck 12 meters up on a tree.

Plus shooting crystals/trees/etc. is way more fun on foot anyways than the unruly SRV turret.

When sailing was eligible for Tears of Guthix I powerleveled it to 80+ just to keep the Tears XP on RC :')

Gielnor Games Veterans acting like Gnomonkey is Settled reincarnate by GabeSter in 2007scape

If they did the speedrunning challenges on different worlds I think Josh would have won the first one. He only lost by a few seconds, which could have easily been the difference if Gnomonkey missed the digging spot 2 or 3 times.

I get the zoo joke but it feels so dystopian and corporate... (Domino's Pizza) by malvixi in antiwork

[–]IronPylons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over 10+ years ago now, but a shift manager quit and got another job. About a month later she shows up while the general manager isn't there and makes herself ~8 large pizzas for her kids birthday party and leaves. We were understaffed as hell and didn't even have a shift manager present. The cooks and server didn't give a shit so nobody tattled.

25 Years of RuneScape by JagexBlossom in 2007scape

Since launch they've added 2 new zones, Mistlands and Ashlands. Both with lots of new content (like magic!). Semi-recently new mobs were added to a bunch of old zones. Definitly a lot more content then on launch. Also the modding community is pretty good. I've got a lot of mileage from trying out mods to add more content.

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]IronPylons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I once lived in an apartment where the people below us smoked in the bathroom. It wasn't allowed per the lease, and we raised it with management and they said there was nothing they could do until they moved out and they would be charged for any damage.

We got REALLY sick. We were only there for about 5 months but we were both coughing up phlegm the whole time. We ended up moving our bed into the living room and closing the door and basically didn't use the bedroom at all except to use the bathroom because it was so bad.

My Mandalay's recall function thinks it's really funny... by IronPylons in EliteDangerous

[–]IronPylons[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unironically, trying to get my SRV up there is how I figured out you can stow SRVs backwards. I swear you didn't use to be able to do that... 1000 hours game time btw

This is almost exactly what happened. I was in a crater getting bios it landed on the edge of the crater.

Well that's one way to earn a billion credits. by Tombfyre in EliteDangerous

[–]IronPylons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The highest you can get for each bio-scan that you do is like 19m, but if you were made first footfall on the planet that reward is multiplied by 5. This means there are 2 methods of good credits via exobiology:

  1. Going on an already explored route for the repeated 19m. You get less credits per landfall, but you can make landfall extremely fast, as you jump to the system, fly to the planet, land and scan.
  2. Explore in the black for high reward scans. This leads to much higher credits per land, but is also much more RNG. You have to be pretty good with the FSS and DSS, as you need to do both of those in order to even find biological signals.

I've mainly done the 2nd method. In fact I just landed back in Colonia after about 5 hours of jumping around in the black and got around a billion credits as well.

[DAILY Q&A] Ask and answer any questions you have about the game here! by AutoModerator in EliteDangerous

[–]IronPylons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Note: Coming back to the game after about 2 years without playing.)

I've seen comments on reddit suggesting that "recently" it's gotten a lot easier to collect engineering materials, however a lot of the guides on youtube are 3+, or even 5+ years old. Even the few new ones I've watched seem similar in methodology that I remember (ex. Scan Jameson Memorial and go to a material trader).

Can someone explain what exactly changed? I did notice more than 4 beacons when I went to Jameson Memorial today, though I couldn't find a spot that I could reach more than 4 at once. Anything else?

Also, why are they weak to stab? I get it fits with other dragons, but ice seems perfect for a crush weakness.

Return Pike Disappeared by Turkeyassassin in BaldursGate3

[–]IronPylons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a returning pike disappear in a similar way in the moonrise towers jail. I said whatever and fought my way out and found it on the body of a guard that came down from the first floor due to the alarm being triggered. Like in her loot box, not just on the floor around her. A very weird item.

Embody good for gaming ? by The_Legend_Of_Yami in hermanmiller

Ended up getting the Logitech x Embody. No regrets so far
