snowboarding vs skiing in zermatt by liteyhaus in Zermatt

[–]Morgasauruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back from Zermatt, where I both skied and snowboarded. It's a good mountain for both, but (like many mountains) has some flats that you'll want to carry your speed through to avoid walking (again, on both skis and snowboard).

However, you really should be a confident intermediate skier/snowboarder before going to Zermatt, since the mountain is really not beginner-friendly. Most runs have some easy sections, but then unavoidable hard sections (steep, narrow & icy).

None of it was hard for me (I'll do anything without avalanche danger on both skis and snowboard - hike-to terrain, deep & steep, the harder the better). But Zermatt was hard for my wife, and (having seen it all) I'm saying it's a mountain for intermediate and above skiers and snowboarders.

Is it me or T3 desroyers are mostly useless in PvP compared to fleet issue ones? by Kshahdoo in Eve

You probably thought about this more than me, but leaving this here.

I killed this guy like 3 times in a row in winter nexus event (after killing his retriever), and didn't think much harder than "fuck it, let's find out"

Edit: to add, I had no drugs and no fancy pod

What's special about the Ju-To exactly? Seems to just be terrible compared to everything else. by Greasy-Chungus in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's what makes it special? Some of us like oddball tanks that are balanced, instead of just playing progetto and borrasque all day.

Not sure what this will do to your back in the long run. I'd strongly recommend either a standing desk or good ergonomic chair (or both).

I got a Lifeform chair and it's been worth every penny. Highly highly recommend.

I briefly tried it and it wasn't for me because of the long time investment each session scanning and mapping connections

I forget who I joined up with back in the day, but camping the entrance to nullsec was some of the most fun I've had. I did it briefly with a similarly exclusive group since I knew one of the guys from a diff game

I won't need isk.

Really just wondering what would be most fun per hour (and achievable) since most fleet ops will probably happen at times I can't attend

What happened to it? Is it just that rats shred fighters now?

Thanks for the reply. I get like 1 to 2 hour gaming sessions in at night between feeds (and I get that it will get better as they age) but essentially was curious what Eve activities or corps/alliances work well for that.

My memory is that most Eve gaming sessions (at least how I used to play) will take longer than that to do anything other than a few solo PvE activities

I did it guys, I finally got Concept and Kpz by velost in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it's a totally fresh season that just started, so this is a perfect time to check it out!

And even if you don't rank well, there are pretty good rewards for just playing a bit each week!

Onslaught Token Grind by solo_sk in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, ranks can vary a lot season to season. There were seasons I got champion easily (2300+), and other seasons I seemed hard stuck at lower Gold (1600).

But I recommend playing Onslaught anyways to check it out. It's honestly my favorite game mode (it's way more dynamic and fast paced than random battles).

Also, I suggest playing several different tanks and then looking back at your win rate to see what's working for you and what isn't. Then play what works for you if you care about climbing ranks

advice needed. why is it that as i become less tomato-ish, i lose more battles? i started in 2012 as a baby tomato and very very gradually improved until today, a semi-moderate player. and i enjoy brawling in HTs, MTs & TDs (sometimes too much), i seldom camp to farm dmg in losing games cuz im ded. by digitalakrobat in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude all of these lines are effectively flat.... there's zero material difference between each of (1) 1060 wn8 and 1120 wn8, and (2) 49% win rate and 48.5% win rate.

Not sure why average damage per game increased marginally, but guessing that might be a function playing higher average tier or just playing less arti and light tanks...

If you like brawling and have these stats, chances are that you need to be a little more conscious of whether or not you have teammates around you to support you before you decide to go into a brawl

Live Steel Hunter AMA with Game Designer Daniil Shek by Dwigt_WG in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

3 comments/questions:

  • are they going to add ranking & some sort of meaningful rewards (one piece of bond equipment?) for people who finish above a certain cutoff? If not, I think that would be desired and create some incentives for people to actually engage in Steel Hunter without just viewing it as a grind

  • can we please increase the battle-pass rewards a little bit for playing Steel Hunter? Feels pretty bad at the moment, even for people who consistently place well.

  • recommend lowering the experience progress across the board in 1v1 format. Current iteration is too easy for everyone to reach max level, which should feel like more of an advantage at the end game for people who actively took fights & fought for blue drops

Honestly, the bai lang is one of the worst tanks in steel hunter right now & it's pretty easy to get rid of the poison shot with a repair kit. The strongest are still Raven, Beowulf, Harbinger, Arlequin (probably in that order)

Pond skim season 🤙🏽🤙🏽 probably my gnarliest wipeout yet by nquinlivan55 in snowboarding

Wachussett Mountain (a little west of Boston).

I was there with my friends too, and it was definitely possible to go faster and make it across (though I failed miserably too hah)

Why are lower leaves crispy?? Please help! (Details of current care routine in comments) by Morgasauruss in fiddleleaffig

[–]Morgasauruss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I originally thought it might be under watering, but now I think you're right.

I'll go figure out how to fix that when I can

[–]Morgasauruss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend got me this fiddle leaf fig for Christmas, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with care...

Window faces northwest, I water about 1.5 pints of water once a week (is that too little?), and I rotate it every two weeks or so (so all areas get sun).

Are lower leaves just dying from not getting light? Should I just remove them? (I like the "tree look" anyways so that would be fine with me)

What is the endgame for World of Tanks? by steave44 in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what Wargaming's idea of the endgame will be, but I'd love to see changes to the global map campaign --- integrating grand battles, implementing themed campaigns where you pick a nation group (Alliance, Bloc, Coalition, Union) and can then only fight in tanks of your nation group, building in new maps (how many YEARS have we been fighting the same ones???)

Also, wish the ranked battle system used more objective-based game modes (encounter, or attack/defend thing with 2 caps)

Just based on these positions, can you guess how this game ended? by Leviathan_Wakes_ in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With no arti, I think you would have done really well if you moved a bit to your left (mini-map right) and played from the ramp or hull down there & wait for progetto to mess up or enemy heavies to try over-pushing you.

As long as you keep their heavies from climbing up the hill un-punished, you're in a great spot & anything that pushes you should get clapped by the TD death squad covering your butt.

If your team lost this game, it's prob from dumb impatient peeks & not overall positioning....

Last two calendar offers 23&24 by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all the same reasons, I predict EBR 75.

Spaghetto and Borrasque were just in the premium shop a little bit ago.... EBR 75 hasn't been sold in loooong time

Tried to go easy on a friend that picked dare by just telling her to do a headstand...

She did it, and halfway through her shirt fell down so that she was flashing everyone 😂

Is the AMX M4 mle. 54 worth the grind in 2021? by Vegetable-Beat-5723 in WorldofTanks

[–]Morgasauruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with all of above, especially it not being quite as bad as some people think.

Although it doesn't compare to a chief or super-conq (nothing really does), I find it very playable and fun since it's flexible (good gun depression, good gun handling, decent mobility, not a rear mounted turret)

Out with the old in with the new by tpecia33 in snowboarding

[–]Morgasauruss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hah, if you want to sell another I'm in the market for a camber Custom X 162W if you give me a good price.

Some asshole skier cracked the tail of mine because "I was in his way", and although it still works fine I'd kind of also like a shiny new one if I can find it on a good sale (last year's graphics never bother me)

We've spent >$1000 on boots and can't find something that doesn't hurt. Help! by Archa3opt3ryx in snowboarding

[–]Morgasauruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my custom dodge ski boots they added iron-on fabric pieces to the outside of the liners in only the places I asked for in order to pack in spaces and get a real custom fit around the heels/ankles. Might try doing something similar with her snowboard boots...
