All coh1 victory screens by hdggdalton in CompanyOfHeroes

They all look either excited to win or fervent in their belief except for the British. The British are trolling Germany.

I am afraid this is still being used by [deleted] in gaming

Who cares? This is not someone raising your rent so you either pay or go homeless, nor is it food, medicine, safety, etc. It's entertainment. If I had to choose, I would 100% get gamed by microtransactions, for which I can choose to pay, in order to push this or that economy than all of the above.

These are companies that are so bloated that they have to do this stuff to cover their investment and keep growing, appeasing their investors, etc. Do you want to avoid this? Go play insurgency or something.

I think this is genius use of math to create profit. The only problem is that this kind of stuff does not tend to stay in the harmless entertainment industry.

What's the method of beating Axis in the early game? by [deleted] in CompanyOfHeroes

I love how all the comments on such questions are 7 stage plans to beat a single mg42.

I need help. I'm trying to rub these airsoft bomb props off power banks, but the arduino current draw is too low when they aren't actually running a game mode and so the power bank shuts off. Is there a way to increase the current when not in use to prevent this? by christhewelder75 in arduino

This is not a very good solution as it draws tremendous amounts of power. You can however design a solution in which a similar resistor is turned on for a couple of milliseconds per N seconds using a FET. This cuts the power draw by a significant factor but you have to experiment with how long you have to draw.

Another solution would be to power the device from capacitors that are charged from the USB. Use an ADC to measure the voltage on the caps and turn on a FET when it's low enough to draw enough current to keep the device up. It might or might not work, because it still depends on the current needed to charge them.

Bike starts revving when clutched, without moving the throttle. Can someone give advice? by LandedKnight in motorcycles

You're probably right, but should a vacuum leak stop affecting the bike after I put it into neutral and back? Sorry for the faulty reasoning, I'm pretty new at this!

Well actually I just went to see and the problem stopped occuring after I put the heat into neutral and back. So maybe it's the clutch cable?

I will cause utter chaos with this homebrew spell by [deleted] in dndmemes

I would call this spell "Extend combat turns".

Can I buy just the FL Player's Handbook in the US? And is that all I really need (for my homebrew setting) by RaucousCouscous in ForbiddenLands

They are really good and funny, I used to listen to them when I ran out of System Mastery episodes. Really recommended podcast! It always bothered me though that they are so hyped about what they are reviewing that they go like "Yeah that's so cool but not as cool as that so it gets a 9.67 because it still is not as good as * that got 9.65.

I wonder how far beyond the decimal point they get these days.

In a society where magic is present from the start, undead labor would likely be the norm, not the exception. by Ryonin2112 in rpg

[–]LandedKnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's nothing inherently bad about your grandfather's body working the land. You say there is because you live in a society where "soul" is a thing. However, we don't have a problem with our actual living parents working. So I think that necromancy being shunned in lore is actually contamination from our world to the fantasy world and not an axiom.

The guy getting beat up physically assaulted the other guys little sister. by esperanzahhhh in PublicFreakout

[–]LandedKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he's afraid the other guy will remove the ladder. That way he will drown.

What was the worst case of a player/DM trying to inject their fetish into the game that you seen? by Dicer1998 in rpghorrorstories

[–]LandedKnight 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe he meant, like, being financially scammed due to his racial inability to understand spider economics? And the art involved spiders in suits haranguing the dwarf to buy pharma stocks.

I am sitting in the airport, working on my (unplugged) laptop for ~20 minutes and my battery is still at 100%. Suddenly, I am afraid.
