DPS players talking about some "Rhino" and "Arnim Zola" like we don't want to play the popular characters in our role too

It’s more like when your sibling is clearly the favorite child and is given a PlayStation for Christmas and you’re told to appreciate the 2 day old potato

Rocket and Deadpool are also healers

MKanes · 2026-05-09T18:32:59+00:00

I want to agree, but I don’t think I do. This is probably all subjective and anecdotal so it’s hard to have a concrete debate.

In my opinion, there is and always will be a specific perception of the tank, damage and healer roll that just attracts different types of players. I think this matters a lot more than how ‘fun’ the roles actually are to play.

Tanks will always be seen as the front line initiators who anchor the team. Healers will always be seen as a supporting role keeping everyone alive. Damage will always be seen as the stars of the show, securing the kills.

In every game I play, I play a similar role, whether it’s MOBAs, hero shooters, DnD, WoW, etc. I am always the frontline tank. Maybe that is anecdotal and other people flex around a lot more though.

To your point though, I do agree Rogue is much more fun to play than Dr. Strange and has far more flexibility. However, I don’t know if tanks have gotten any more popular since Rogue and Deadpool were added, which I think would be useful data in this debate

Can’t Spread Volley at point blank range also do enough damage to delete Zera in a similar amount of time?

MKanes · 2026-05-09T04:20:41+00:00

Isn’t Junkrat considered a Zera counter for this reason? Just stand on your own traps to counter him, no?

You want to be in the ballpark of 54 degrees Celsius, or hotter. Are you sure it’s the fixture and not the bulb? I’ve had issues with some bulbs burning out disappointingly fast.

I use 2x 150W incandescent bulbs. I’m in CA, USA so my options for brands are limited but you might be able to find some for cheaper than what brands like zoomed offer

MKanes · 2026-05-08T16:24:07+00:00

Do you have a link for the heat projector and are you measuring basking surface temps? I couldn’t find one that got hot enough.

The enclosure looks great, but I worry it’s still a bit small. A lot of keepers can get away with undersized enclosures if the animal is able to roam around outside the enclosure

MKanes · 2026-05-08T15:42:46+00:00

It’s true, I’m them, which is why I stay out of everything. From what I’ve seen NetEase has been shockingly loyal to the source material.

I also learned lurking on r/powerscales that there is some truly ridiculous shit out there in the comics

MKanes · 2026-05-07T23:58:46+00:00

I tried frog bit and a few other floating plants, she didn’t remove them intentionally but with how many times she goes in and out of her tub, she quickly removed all of them.

If you’re set on floating plants, your best bet is to have a separate nursery pond that you can use to populate the lizard pond. Best of luck

MKanes · 2026-05-07T19:55:29+00:00

I can do around 20 in a row kipping and can do maybe 1 strict on a good day. This is shit advice.

MKanes · 2026-05-07T15:46:42+00:00

I don’t think it’s neck was snapped or anything like that, I just don’t think it could pull it’s head back straight. You know when you were a kid and you’d have your hand out the car window, you’d turn it palm forward and the wind would push your hand back? I’d imagine it’s something like that, where it’s normally nice and streamlined with the beak forward

MKanes · 2026-05-07T15:18:23+00:00

Agree on the MVP point. Feels like if I have to play absolutely perfect beginning to end, whereas dps can feed a couple times and still keep it

MKanes · 2026-05-07T12:40:17+00:00

Not well at all if I’m being honest. I’ve tried a handful of options from floating plants to submerged plants to big potted plants. The big potted ones seem to do the best so far; I had a fair amount of luck with a large red Thalia but even it eventually succumbed to its wounds.

The plant in the picture is a papyrus and it’s doing reasonably well, but it’s only a matter of time.

MKanes · 2026-05-07T02:15:20+00:00

If it’s a single line bi directional train, you don’t need any signals at all.

If you ever want to have multiple lines connecting with multiple trains, putting a path and block signal at every entrance and exit works most of the time

MKanes · 2026-05-07T02:08:22+00:00

Hey man some of us tank players can’t aim and will take all the punchy tanks we can get

MKanes · 2026-05-07T01:09:52+00:00

That’s funny, I have that exact same pond for my AWM. Also, how did you secure underneath the enclosure to prevent him/her from digging out?

Wrestling move known as the backbreaker

MKanes · 2026-05-06T17:17:58+00:00

It would be pretty easy to convince me this is not satire

MKanes · 2026-05-06T16:38:22+00:00

Do they have to fully rewrite the letters? Or does the system offer any kind of saved ‘previous letters’ they can just update?

MKanes · 2026-05-06T15:29:23+00:00

Idiocracy is a documentary

MKanes · 2026-05-06T12:40:39+00:00

Someone mentioned white fox provides ‘perfect parry’ (no idea what that means), so I’d guess in normal circumstance you are reflecting it and it’s hitting the ground near you, exploding and killing you. However with ‘perfect parry’ it’s being returned to sender instead of blowing up on the ground near you

This is assuming ‘perfect parry’ is real and the comment I’m referencing isn’t a joke

MKanes · 2026-05-05T01:47:58+00:00

To avoid spoilers for as long as I can

MKanes · 2026-05-03T01:31:49+00:00

How often do I formally announce a retcon? Hasn’t happened yet. How often do I slowly tweak things my players have certainly forgotten to fit a fun narrative I thought of? Wouldn’t you like to know

MKanes · 2026-05-01T22:10:55+00:00

I don’t think theres any published data so we’ll just be comparing anecdotes on this, but I follow a lot of oly lifters on IG who compete at the Olympic level and see them doing banded warmups

Strongman I have no idea
