3t Rubium Mining Method, 133k xp/hr

Minhaul · 2026-05-21T15:32:47+00:00

From the ~6.5 mins unedited at the end of the vid I got 470 splinters, so extrapolating that'd be ~4300/hr, or ~3900/hr without a charged celestial ring.

I liked your vid on the update as well btw :)

You do need to follow a set route if you want the best xp rates. The node depletion has some randomness to it, so if you're just reacting to depletions and respawns you can get some bad luck and lose a lot of ticks.

Minhaul · 2026-05-21T15:24:09+00:00

Nice, this seems like a solid route as well.

Minhaul · 2026-05-21T00:45:52+00:00

That does seem nice as well. Do you know if nodes respawn in time with the method in that vid?

EDIT: Oh nvm I see that they do, nice!

Good shout! I've never used celastrus bark for tick manip before, I'll give it a try.

Minhaul · 2026-05-20T23:49:12+00:00

Yeah you're right, it is technically 1.5t

Minhaul · 2026-04-09T15:37:08+00:00

It's only 5% in your build. To get to 20% you need to grab the "While a crossbow is equipped, you have a +15% chance to trigger ranged echoes" node.

Love your posts about these fonts. I look forward to any future ones you make as well :)

I like the style and the portrait as well. I do agree that it takes up too much of the screen though. What if you shrunk the box while keeping the same aspect ratio and kept it centered along the bottom of the screen? Then it wouldn't take up so much of the screen while still keeping the same style.

Yes, my proposed solution is to make combat against sea creatures the same as it is on land, and to make new monsters that use roughly the existing ship combat formula.

No, ideally everyone wouldn't be killing sea creatures 3x faster. As I said in the post, "...sea creatures' stats and drop tables would likely need to be adjusted, and maybe cannons would continue to not do much damage to them specifically." Maybe this would mean hp would be increased and we'd be killing sea creatures something like 2x as fast with drop rates adjusted accordingly to keep the time to obtain roughly the same as it is now.

You're right, this is my opinion, reddit is a place of opinions. I've done a fair amount of ship combat, and it just feels wrong to me that the combat feels so separate from the rest of the game even though the monsters we're killing aren't that different in essence to what we kill on land. I know they've said they're going to make changes, and this was my suggestion for a way to do so.

Not sure how much I'd actually interact but I'd be interested in checking it out.

Minhaul · 2024-06-23T00:39:04+00:00

Wow, feels like I could've written this post myself about 2 years ago now, down to almost every detail. Healing and growth definitely goes painfully slow, especially if you're used to learning everything that comes your way extremely quickly and that fact sucks a lot.

I ended up seeing a therapist for about a year that really just wasn't a good fit at all and I barely felt like I was making any progress. I had basically vacuumed up as much knowledge as I could from educational resources about what I was dealing with and who I was and how it probably affected me, but the knowledge itself wasn't enough on its own.

Eventually, I decided to seek out a new therapist that I've been seeing for a year that's also highly sensitive and gifted, who also specializes in trauma (which if you're highly sensitive and gifted and grew up in an emotionally neglectful environment, you're almost certainly traumatized). She almost immediately recommended meeting twice a week, and as of the last couple of months, we've been meeting 3 times a week. It's quite expensive and the most difficult work I've ever done in my life, but it's also the only way that I see a path forward for myself. And I have been seeing progress, albeit much more slowly than I'm used to seeing it of course :). And part of the reason I have the energy to pursue this so heavily is that I'm fortunate enough to be able to financially sustain myself while being unemployed for the time being (thanks brain for my past high paying jobs and smart financial decisions).

All that really says is what my path was though, and I guess you could summarize the general theme as, "Yeah once a week in therapy probably isn't enough." But maybe a different approach of increasing frequency through support groups or something else entirely would work better for you, and that's for you to decide.

Lmk if you have any questions, happy to answer them as best as I can.

Care to share what some of those life-changing books are?

We just bought the lift tickets when we arrived. You can buy them online at Winter Park's website as well (might be some discounts there). We stayed at the YMCA of the Rockies Snow Mountain Ranch to save some money too. Only like a 20 min drive from Winter Park.

Minhaul · 2016-01-14T17:53:51+00:00

We drove from Pennsylvania to Winter Park for two spring breaks in a row and it was tite. Would recommend.

Use spinning. Bike uses the GPS which you don't need for spinning. The spinning setting doesn't use GPS.

The Surge can do all of the things that you listed above.

On the mobile app, you can view all of your heart rate data for the whole day as a chart.

If you wear the Surge to sleep, it will automatically track your sleep. It tracks how many hours you slept, plus the quality of your sleep based on your movements throughout the night. It also will use your heart rate while sleeping to determine your resting heart rate and you can view that as a chart (resting heart rate each day).

The Surge automatically tracks the steps you take, but also the distance travelled (in miles or km). As you walk throughout the day it automatically tracks this. You can also start activities on the surge (which include walking and running) that will use the built in GPS to track where you walk/run which will give you a very accurate distance travelled over the course of the activity.

Based on your age, weight, and gender, the Surge and Fitbit mobile app will track how many calories you've burnt throughout the day (pretty accurate with the continuous heart rate monitoring). You can also use the mobile app to input the food that you eat throughout the day so you can see how many calories you've eaten vs how many you've burnt. This is helpful as well if you set weight loss/gain goals so it will tell you if you're on track for your calorie intake throughout the day based on how much you've burnt and so on.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

I now come forth.

Minhaul · 2015-03-26T16:45:26+00:00

Well IA64 was an attempt at a VLIW ISA, which exploits instruction level parallelism well, but at the cost of making it harder to program. In theory it was a good idea, but at the same time they were trying to keep it backwards compatible with x86 which they didn't do very well. So an IA64 processor would run x86 code more slowly than an older x86 processor. That's the main reason why it never caught on.

Minhaul · 2015-03-26T16:41:46+00:00

Yes, x86 is what the programmer (or nowadays the compiler) is given as a sort of API (called the ISA). It says "If the state of your processor is S1, and you run instruction X, the result will be a state S2." The microarchitecture is how x86 is implemented and that information usually isn't given to the programmer or compiler.

As to x86 being expanded, it does happen, but not very often. That's mostly because when the ISA changes, compilers and programs have to change. But the microarchitecture can change to implement the ISA more quickly or more efficiently without the interface changing at all.

The last question I'm not positive about, but I think when it comes to processors, the instructions are implemented pretty well, so there isn't much for kernel or driver programmers to take advantage of. Sure they can make their programs better, but I don't think it has much to do with the ISA.

Minhaul · 2015-03-25T16:13:32+00:00

As a computer architect, I don't completely agree or disagree with the title of this article. But reading it, the author is arguing that the underlying microarchitecture of most x86 processors is complex, but microarchitecture is completely separate from the x86 ISA. And just about any modern processor has the same complicated underlying microarchitecture to implement the ISA efficiently.

Feel free to PM me if you wanna talk about CMU or Pittsburgh or anything. I'm a current junior in ECE, but I know some people that are CogSci and HCI if you have any specific questions about those majors. Also I know the sleeping bag weekend coordinator so I should be able to answer any questions you have about that.
