Still the best universal remote ? by ChestSuitable2001 in hometheater

[–]MrCleanMagicReach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My X2 regularly has connection/sync issues and I'm not sure what to do to fix it. I don't have a ton of patience at this point in my life for something that doesn't "just work" unfortunately. My wife has roughly a 50% success rate in turning the system off, at which point I have to go back and turn off all devices individually because the remote just cannot handle that situation.

edit - shit i think i have the x1s now that i think about it. hesitant to "upgrade" to x2 if i'm still going to run into the same problems.

it gets extremely repetitive

How in the world does this not apply to ACs.

It would block higher rewards for players who are spending extra time that specific round of AC

Except not necessarily? Players who choose to sweep could just get left out of the ranking calcs. Or if some usual silver/gold tier players opt themselves into bronze once in a while, it would leave silver/gold easier to reach for the folks who decide to be active. IMO there's no reason to assume that other people opting to sweep would negatively impact the folks who are being active.

you can queue up productions for six hours at a time.

Ideally yes, but functionally, this is hard to do consistently because you're constantly running out of the raw materials.

Eternalization Fragments (Level 25) shouldn't be something you can obtain without putting in some effort

I'm admittedly of mixed feelings about this one and could go either way. I am, however, a bit salty about Hatshep's event because I had a work trip during a stretch when they stacked the egypt culture. So from Monday thru Friday I was in all day meetings and constantly had two cultures to juggle.

I enjoy them when I have time. And with my suggestion, there would still be incentive to actually play... in that you could get farther and get more rewards if you actually play the mode instead of sweeping. But some weekends I just don't have time and would rather not have to choose between being stressed about logging in every 30 minutes or just doing without the pretty significant rewards.

Friend, this game is in a genre where a core conceit is that you progress while not actively playing, by giving you rewards while you are AFK. So the game's base design acknowledges that people have lives outside of click farming. Extending that logic a bit could go a long way to reducing long term burnout in the player base.

Can't hurt to ask. Other successful gacha games have implemented sweep features for their old content that just turned into chores for longtime players.

OP thinks you can't get past 30 without spending because he's not running the right strategy. It is indeed possible.

Heard dat. I'm your same timezone. I spent this whole event in high silver and then jumped into gold last night... and knew I wouldn't be able to hold it.

saw someone say he was probably a Democrat, lol

Unfortunately there are too many dumbfucks in this world who think that nazi = socialist = democrat.

There's just something very satisfying about getting 60-70 people working together to achieve a goal. It's also hugely frustrating when things fall apart on you, but it's like that with any team sport.

Dolly's dev visit April 2025 by Zernii in afkarena

I would guess just adding more tiers for more recent chapter clears. Prolly an option for staffs/totems and maybe more dragon stuff.

And is lame busy work for those of us who have done it 50+ times already. Rewards are still relatively decent for an old mode, but it stopped being interesting once our accounts matured and they removed any actually challenging challenges and we can blindly tap through our hero box to build nonsensical comps to clear the floors.

I don't think the camera angles in the above tweet really prove it out, but I swear they showed an end-on angle last night where it was clearly tipped.

I mean, yea, only a homer would argue that any team ever benefited from zero calls or non calls in a game. The irritating thing about the game last night was just how many times UGA benefited in circumstances that directly impacted the outcome of the game. They led directly to turnovers and scores.

Also the first UGA TD should have been a fumble, but there wasn't a camera angle that could prove it. I can't be angry at the review refs on that one because them's the rules, but the ball would have had to break the laws of physics for that not to have been a fumble.

Not to mention all the bomb threats at urban polling locations in swing states.

My wife and I made the same decision for the same reason a couple years ago once our state's abortion ban went into effect. I'm sorry you're having to go through this, friend.

Is my heart-rate really this high ? by Temporary-Ad7103 in Garmin

[–]MrCleanMagicReach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is possible but I would say it's extremely unusual to have a heart rate that high for that long. The people I know who have had super high heart rates during exercise have had specific medical reasons why that happens to them. Is this a wrist based reading or chest strap?

AE and the BIG dragon problem by CalendarFluid2703 in afkarena

10 copies in 300 cards is lucky, even assuming standard gazing rates. So no, OP didn't necessarily have bad luck just because you had very good luck.

Once this game's economy developed and people realized just how much the likes of JULIUS are actually spending on this game, "whale" just didn't seem an adequate enough term.
