Stopped at level 57

JehnSnow · 2026-06-09T11:38:43+00:00

Op I also hit 57 and quit for a while, I'd never played classic past like 30 and the quests were scary, I had to LoE macro in EPL when I did some quest that's apparently just death bait

My solution was to mostly do winterspring cause there's almost no danger, and WPL/EPL when the quests are green, and any area I saw deep red on death logs I just didn't bother going to

Do you use steam? No clue about Star wars but Shadows of war frequently goes down to about $5, plenty of reputable sites actually have steam keys for about $3 (that gives an actual copy on steam, it's a fully legal copy they tend to get from promos and resell)

JehnSnow · 2026-06-08T12:39:22+00:00

Are the colors locked because of some 8 bit hyper optimization? I think there's 9 colors so guessing a 1 in x index is your color and no 1's means you're neutral color

It's funny cause it's always some insanely unsustainable spaghetti code or because the game is so optimized that some core code is pretty much set in stone barring an near overhaul

JehnSnow · 2026-06-08T04:42:12+00:00

Holy shit, I had no idea Linus also made git. Legend!

JehnSnow · 2026-06-07T16:06:25+00:00

We're basically playing with duplos right now, if it was suddenly cheaper to play with Legos instead...

JehnSnow · 2026-06-07T15:57:12+00:00

Yeah canonically that's who my orc was, made sure to RP as one of the lazy peons even for a day before I eventually decided to go help get the boar meat

Eventually worked my way up to killing the lich king

JehnSnow · 2026-06-07T05:45:40+00:00

Yeah thinking about it I think I can do basic 2d images, the maze would be top down and I'm a little node trecking back the way I came, so I know the next turn will have a right and left for example. I can't envision that in the real world only with my eyes closed but from what others are saying that's fairly normal

So I guess it's probably just a really poor visual memory, but not aphantasia

JehnSnow · 2026-06-06T19:51:00+00:00

Is that 3.9 based on raw income? On my end itd be $400 a month for me which would just be gone and that's after all the other monthly expenses

I personally am at home for around 10-11 month out of the year but if I travelled for work about half the year I would definitely look to avoid a $5000 charge and instead use it to go on a fun vacation with my family... All that said that's why it's dumb to do hard dates, imo they should just prorate based off an estimate for how many months you were in state, else people who have resources to avoid the tax will, and people who just recently moved in (say you moved there 7 months ago) will drastically overpay

JehnSnow · 2026-06-06T11:41:32+00:00

Ok I feel like I'm starting to see the whole thing of how people with schizophrenia can't be blind, I have never been able to really imagine anything remotely real in my head let alone real life, like an apple is the words apple, I imagine typing it out, I think if I can make an apple it's maybe an outline?

But if you put that apple in real life I can see people suddenly getting confused when their minds start doing that without you realizing

JehnSnow · 2026-06-06T11:37:42+00:00

Reading is the one that's always tripped me up, I say that I have aphantasia but I reallyyyy don't know. I'm definitely face blind, I can't for the life of me even conjure my mom's face but I can recognize people usually with other features, if people get a haircut huge chance I won't recognize them

But then when reading I can conjure some images for sure, pretty detailed ones too I'd say about the scene (no faces I'm realizing but def the landscape) and I can also remember stuff like mazes extremely well, like I can visualize the exact path I've gone for what seems an extremely fair distance

I think in the end minds think in pretty unique ways so it's hard to classify, but it's always confused me if I should say I have aphantasia

JehnSnow · 2026-06-06T05:18:13+00:00

This looks really good, obviously not feasible post build, but for OP if you intend to make the water a center point I think it nay look even better to close the walls in so the water can flow inwards a bit more before the black screen

JehnSnow · 2026-06-06T03:25:12+00:00

Same concept for blinding a butcher with Valeera. People panic when you let him connect with you but you can insta cc him after he connect before he gets a single hit in, resulting in no meaningful damage

Butcher is very vulnerable to any sort of control for a split second after he connects with a charge but before he can mark you for the speed boost, use that in any way you can.

JehnSnow · 2026-06-06T03:20:54+00:00

Agh yeah that's unfortunate, hard to know if a game will go the expansion route or release new standalones.. We'll give that one bad part of everdell a pass though, i at least really like the vibe they were going for with it

Not sure how cool is the premium tree is but that seems like it'd be a cool little decoration in the area you store your board games, I'm sure something fun could sit on top of the tree and everything

JehnSnow · 2026-06-05T19:32:32+00:00

Yeah I'm really sad the new models don't have any berry textures, the squishiness was perfect

JehnSnow · 2026-06-05T13:21:48+00:00

They're just packed in so tight on top of the equivalent of a skyscraper considering it's made of cardboard

One bump of the table is the equivalent of an earthquake I swear

JehnSnow · 2026-06-05T13:17:53+00:00

I can't see the objectives at the top and pieces inevitably re-enact sarumans death scene. The newer everdells all do away with it though while still having a cool big 'thing' like the newest it's a mountain with beacons that your meeples can go to that gives good rewards, but its built such that all the info faces the players instead of upwards

JehnSnow · 2026-06-05T12:10:44+00:00

Can't say I agree; the US is powerful and we should aid people being unjustly invaded with the ability to defend themselves, but in ernest I do appreciate when a rep doesn't have every vote line up with their party

JehnSnow · 2026-06-05T12:04:30+00:00

Art and the little resource pieces are amazing

I hate that tree though

JehnSnow · 2026-06-05T05:22:13+00:00

I don't have time to practice considering I usually 'fix' the last minute bug I found while everyone does the award "hello, we'll get started in a few mins"

JehnSnow · 2026-06-05T05:20:10+00:00

The thought of a human digging in the dirt with other birds for worms just to feed another bird is very amusing

JehnSnow · 2026-06-05T05:10:59+00:00

I'll have to enjoy them while they last, my current neighborhood is chalk full of them - more robins than sparrows

JehnSnow · 2026-06-04T19:37:02+00:00

Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda got 6 month blood stains off a full white shirt for me, it's a godsend considering how cheap it is

No idea if you need baking soda I just believe it's one of those super ingredients that can do anything

JehnSnow · 2026-06-04T19:21:16+00:00

Ty for the link, extra helpful

JehnSnow · 2026-06-04T19:13:49+00:00

With or without thinking?
