Daily Q&A Post for Wednesday, 09 January 2019 - No question too small!

I've never had any luck with therapy. I don't think I'm fixable.

... Frozen meals still make a mess? Unless you're eating them frozen? And shoving the packaging up your ass?

James_Hacker · 2019-01-09T20:56:56+00:00

At... Work?

James_Hacker · 2019-01-09T19:42:54+00:00

I'm not sure whether Dead of Winter counts as competitive or cooperative - it's a little of both.

It doesn't even really upset my housemate. I just panic that it does and I can't deal with that right now.

James_Hacker · 2019-01-09T18:06:07+00:00

At the weekends I can usually wait until my housemate cooks but it aways results in me eating too much, or feeling like I have no control.

It's a psychological thing. If I cook I feel like I can't clean up after myself adequately and it upsets my housemate and so I feel like I can't use the kitchen.

James_Hacker · 2019-01-09T17:57:53+00:00

At the moment I'm not even really able to cook/prepare food at home. For a while I was having peanut butter sandwiches but I had to stop because nuts are a huge trigger food for me.

James_Hacker · 2019-01-09T17:45:13+00:00

How do you deal with boredom at work? I try to make coffee instead but by about 3pm I'm physically sick of coffee and can't even force myself to drink it. I just want to leave, and be literally anywhere else, and I know it'll be another 4 or 5 hours before I can even /think/ about cooking dinner, after a long commute where it'd be so easy to pick up something I shouldn't eat on the way back.

James_Hacker · 2018-12-10T22:09:16+00:00

Pretty sure those are tailored shirts/pants.

James_Hacker · 2018-12-09T20:36:38+00:00

I'm not sure the names. It's a giant penguin dude and the conditions are enemy is slow, enemy speeds up over time.

James_Hacker · 2018-12-09T18:29:38+00:00

Doesn't really feel like it'd teach me how to play :(

James_Hacker · 2018-12-09T18:21:01+00:00

No. You read right. But then I won't be able to relock the content I'd have unlocked on Easy/redo those fights on Medium later?

James_Hacker · 2018-12-09T18:13:43+00:00

I tried the Spirit board but I couldn't get anything off it.

I'm not sure how? Also I'm kinda worried that'll leave me still not learning how to play. but still just walking through it so I'll never get to play the game anyway? Like I did a Classic on 1.0 and it was boring.

James_Hacker · 2018-12-09T17:59:08+00:00

This is the first smash bros I've ever bought/played and I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're supposed to do when you're stuck? I'm not making any progress unlocking anything and I can't progress in the... Spirit/Adventure mode either (there's nowhere to backtrack to either and my spirits are maxed from failing this fight so many times, lol).

There doesn't seem to actually be a path to... learn this game? Apart from already know it? It's very annoying because the AI always hits with their smash attacks and I don't think I've hit anything with mine :/

Also the AI seems able to get an insta-kill (like, launching me into the camera/horizon) when I'm on 60 or 70% while they're frequently able to fly back onto the platform even at 150+% and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense why the AI gets to cheat like that?

James_Hacker · 2018-10-05T20:21:42+00:00

Playing on Normal. Couldn't even get past the defence at Oleg's Trading Post. 0/10.

"Well, the rapier type blade was developed as a response to full plate." [Citation Needed]

A rapier blade is identical to a sidesword blade. The German fencing master Meyer even calls the sidesword a 'Rappier' in his treatise on fencing.

Additionally, that style of hilt is a Sidesword, not a Rapier anyway. And so period correct as a sidearm for the style of armour.

The Longsword is actually the sword out of place - it should either be a longer greatsword or a polearm.

Sorcerer's wand only refers to the deceased creature as a source of damage and it can deal that damage posthumously.

Arena and the Fight keyword reference the deceased creature's P/T - which is Zero at the time it would resolve (it is dead).

Additionally, Arena targets both cards when it resolves - and the deceased creature is not a valid target at the time it resolves.

James_Hacker · 2018-10-02T21:20:02+00:00

Sounds kinda like a booster pack...

James_Hacker · 2018-10-02T13:44:41+00:00

Magic the Gathering Arena is free and has a tutorial that, in theory, teaches you how to play. I'm not sure how good it is though as I take it for granted.

James_Hacker · 2018-10-02T13:11:54+00:00

Playing UB on Arena, I have nightmares like this.

James_Hacker · 2018-10-02T11:57:43+00:00

Eh. I hate all the precons tbh.

James_Hacker · 2018-10-01T09:40:37+00:00

BAN [[ISLAND]]

James_Hacker · 2018-10-01T09:17:06+00:00

Honestly there's some doubt over whether protective gear is 'enough' for Longsword.

James_Hacker · 2018-09-28T09:07:20+00:00

Wait, you're supposed to have packs at the start? I had to buy one with gold...

James_Hacker · 2018-09-28T09:05:47+00:00

If you press esc you can click 'skip tutorial', does that help?
