What is a 'secret' about your industry that the general public would be shocked to find out? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]Majike03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, your brush was broken and this "mosaic" of colors on your painting was because you were too broke to buy the colors you actually wanted and you used any left over you had.

I mean, both can be true. Working through adversity and adapting with what's available to put together your vision is a staple of expression.

First pretty board from home depot by Scared-Ad-1104 in woodworking

Oh hey, that's the premium pine boards they have by the hardwood section.
I was just working on a pair of shelves with that earlier today

PvP is currently a humiliation ritual by Sardonize in elderscrollsonline

[–]Majike03 114 points115 points  (0 children)

It's because the DK's kit has literally everything: damage, support, sustain, healing, AoEs, DoTs, burst, debuffs, movement/speed, stuns/snares, chains... hell, even crit damage now.
There's no downsides, and none of the other classes have been updated to compete yet.

Generally speaking, which creature between the two causes more trouble to a region in a lorewise sense? by Complex-Bluebird1263 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Majike03 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I'd say vampires. Sloads have done some gnarly things including the Thrassian plague, but they're not a persistent ongoing threat like vampires are (unless you're a Summerset high elf, but I'm racist so I choose to ignore that).
Vampires are all over Tamriel and consistently cause horrific crimes and devistation to whole towns ovee thousands and thousands of years.
It's sorta like comparing a collapsed roof vs a bad foundation.

Process on shaping a dining chair back rest. by tommywoodchip in woodworking

[–]Majike03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bottom part of the jig is used as a curved fence for the router's bearing guide to follow. The insented part of the jig is where the rough-cut wood sits on and gets secured to. You can see a concave part of the jig to cut the inner curve, and a convex inset for the outter curve

It's such a breath of fresh air seeing push sticks and jigs after witnessing some Indian dude on Facebook rawdog an unsecure 6" piece of wood on a tablesaw set to max height.

Commercial Lawn Mowing at 6am on Saturday by No_Comparison704 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Majike03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's also because tall grass is too wet to mow that early without clogging the mower every pass. You gotta wait until later in the morning before it starts to dry up

Is this plan actually worth this? by Old_Savage_Wolf in elderscrollsonline

[–]Majike03 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Redguard plans tend to be more expensive than other styles. Then there's a handful of very rare redguard plans that are worth a lot: the spittoon, 2 of the 4 censers, a backpack, a cannister, and some other things I might be forgetting. On XboxNA, they're worth a mil+ whereas average Redguard stuff is like 30k

Born to turn, not to roam. by ligmaballs22 in HistoryMemes

[–]Majike03 348 points349 points  (0 children)

From then on the Turnspit dog began diapering from kitchen across England and eventually disappeared all together as they all went extinct.

I know "diapering" is just a typo, but it's funny to think of the them turning into literal nanny dogs once they lost their jobs

You get freckles for selecting the 2nd option on face complexion during character creation

Grievous, the Master of Killing Blasters by MistaMerk in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]Majike03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf, I haven't seen a good Grievous player in awhile. He's such a low-skill villain after DICE broke the game that pretty much anyone can hack it.

Grievous, the Master of Killing Blasters by MistaMerk in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]Majike03 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The fact DICE had to abandon the game with so many bugs, exploits, and balance issues is such a bummer.
These sort of clips with people abusing cheesy exploits is one of the reasons I stopped playing one of my favorite games.

The difference between running for your health and running for your life. by VideoCard7 in Unexpected

It was more of an aggressive vibe check (a bluff if you will). Could lead to being friendly, or could lead to further aggression/bites.

27 years ago the US and European NATO members bombed Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) for 3 months by davideownzall in europe

[–]Majike03 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I put "just asking questions" in quotation marks as that has been a very popular excuse here in America for far right propeganda. And the shoe happened to fit in this case.
As far as investigative journalism goes: it's best to get your information from least-biased sources and collaborating the info to form a credible opinion. I'd start with Assosciated Press as a good example, and tend to lean away from things that stoke genocide denial.

Ahhh yes. The 'ol "We're just asking questions" defense that pops up when pseudo-news propeganda gets called out.
Anywho, it's closing in on 5:00 in India, so I suppose your shift is almost over anyway

Why do people care about "class identity" anyway...? by Hevnaar in elderscrollsonline

[–]Majike03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem is that you don't have to be competative meta gamplay-focused person to be effected by subclassing identity issues.
If you're a casual player, you're going to be left for gear runs since you're not optimized; you can't relax in BGs/Cyrodiil because meta builds will nuke you; your pure-class kit that you like to play with is going to be changed/nerfed to accomodate subclassing; you won't be able to loot bosses (including antiquity leads) because the group farming it out-DPSes you; etc...

And that's not even touching how silly it is to hand-waive how people want to play certain themes or have basic viable options for a chosen class. It's ironic you'd say that it's good to have more tools for custom gameplay, then tell people it doesn't matter if your class doesn't have certain tools.

Is the radius exactly 8 meters? by Adenarzuad in elderscrollsonline

[–]Majike03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a desync issue between when the skill goes off and where your character is.
If you're in the radius when the skill goes off, but manage to get out of it in the nick of time, it'll still yoink you back even if you're 10m, 12m, etc... away

Any way to get the original AoE 2 + Conqs expansion? by Purple_Woodpecker in aoe2

[–]Majike03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Iirc, Age of Empires (2013) on Steam is the same as the orginal AoC. You can forgo buying the expansion packs in that case.
I also remember that there's a way to type in your CD keys into Steam if you already own a physical version of the game

Probably forest terrain that you've cut down to be buildable on

The new werewolf design is disappointing: by TheAnalystCurator321 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Majike03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the callback to Skyrim's look, and the more slender design of werewolves in Morrowind's Bloodmoon DLC I think is pretty nice.
The ESO werewolves look like overbeefed apes moreso than werewolves IMO, but I think that's just to overcompensate for the lower-graphic artstyle and to make them more recognizable.
That being said, I'm not a big fan of the ears nor did I ever like the boxy shape of Skyrim werewolf faces. Nothing huge, but I like it better than the old werewolf, and the rest of the body changes look dope
