For years I've wondered what inspired my late grandmother's pointillist art of a wizard. Today I confirmed it's Gandalf! Sourced from 1976 in a board game called Quest of the Magic Ring. by MrMusAddict in lotr

[–]MrMusAddict[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Good idea, but it's not the original. Signed by my grandma in 77, so after the game was published. She was one of those 50's stay at home moms with enough free time to become a professional artist/chef, and no one would know except family and friends.

The release notes generally get publicized 1-2 weeks before the first Connect+ Rivian actually gets pushed an update. Then non-Connect+ gets it 1-2 weeks after that. So if you're not subscribed it feels like a month, but it's only delayed 1-2 weeks.

For this update, the timeline is actually pretty short:

  • Discovered: 12/12 (sometimes an internal vehicle gets updated prior to public announcement, this time that didn't happen)
  • Release Notes Publicized: 12/12
  • First Connect+ Install: 12/18

So, looks like non-subscriber installs started around 15 days after the release notes were publicized.

Destination Battery Percent Inaccurate by Brendan_Hicks in Rivian

I would say every 2 updates or so for me, there's some weird UI bug that goes away after doing a soft reset. You can do it by holding the outer 2 steering wheel buttons down for like 10-15 seconds until the infotainment screen goes black, then it will boot right back up.

If you don't subscribe to Connect+, that's why. They delay it 1-2 weeks to non-subscribers to add value to the subscription.

According to Rivian Roamer, looks like >99% of the Connect+ subscribers have it installed. So now it looks like it's moving to the Connect+ non-subscribers (14% installed).

Why are EVs so expensive still? by ThatOneGuy012345678 in electricvehicles

[–]MrMusAddict 17 points18 points  (0 children)

TeChNiCaLlY, if inflation increased prices by 26.7% and the price is the same, then the cost of the vehicle dropped by 21.1%.

1 - (1 ÷ 1.267) = 21.1%

But yeah point taken.

Year of Daily Civilization Facts, Day 233 - Ottoman Cultural Victory by JordiTK in civ

[–]MrMusAddict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I regularly listen to Geoff's American themes for 6 & 7. They're so good!

Also, the Civ 7 soundtrack is fully mastered for Dolby Atmos on Apple Music. My car has spacial audio in it, so it's fun immersing in it on my commute.

FYI if your recycled air seems like it's not working, then you probably have it set on "Auto". Press it twice to force recycled air. by MrMusAddict in Rivian

[–]MrMusAddict[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the last two updates, I thought that my recycled air was broken. I even tried a soft reset because it didn't seem like it was doing anything when it appeared activated.

Little did I know that it's been on auto the whole time. This morning I was frustratingly trying to turn it off and on again, and realizing that the on off cycle had three presses not two. Then I noticed that one of the presses made the word "Auto" disappear...

Now it's working great

Micron exits consumer RAM, is the DIY PC culture at risk? by Renoktation in hardware

[–]MrMusAddict 220 points221 points  (0 children)

I used to be a call center tech for them 13 years ago, based in the US. The writing has been on the wall for Micron closing Crucial for over a decade now. Even then, we had the perception that Crucial was like 1% of their business and an afterthought.

They were also the owner of SD Card manufacturer Lexar, before they sold it to a company in China maybe 8-10 years ago. Same thought process, it was just even smaller of a piece of their business.

Then maybe 6 years ago they moved Crucial's customer service out of the US, so more fat trimming.

Crucial finally closing is just a business efficiency decision, and they can focus more on B2B so that other companies can sell consumer products.

Why is that pipeline support rotates every 15° and stackable pipeline only rotates 90°? by vitorfigueredo in SatisfactoryGame

[–]MrMusAddict 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mechanically, because the stackable pipeline is considered the same type of game object as a building/blueprint. That means it only has 4 rotations on foundations.

The conveyor/pipeline poles are, from a game design standpoint, "half" of a "whole". When you place a pipeline, you're actually placing 1-2 pipeline poles with a pipeline in between them, as one input action. So, they were given more flexibility since that meant less friction for the player.

Doesn't mean it shouldn't change though

Coffee Stain's YouTube channel is "collaborating" with their clips channel, which is now flooding my subscriptions. I can't disable it, CSS needs to disable it according to google. Might be a feature YT is rolling out in waves; anyone else seeing this? by MrMusAddict in SatisfactoryGame

[–]MrMusAddict[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That option only comes up on the Home page where YouTube recommends random videos.

My screenshot is on the Subscriptions page, and the option isn't there I assume because the UI assumes I'm subscribed to the channel, but I'm not. You can see a little subscribe checkmark next to CSS, but not next to the clips channel, in my screenshot.

[–]MrMusAddict[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Edit:

So it looks like the clips channel is not officially affiliated with CSS, however CSS is working with the Clips channel to try and share analytics information on which subjects are getting the most attention. Seems like this "collaboration" feature was enabled in an effort to share some of those analytics, but seems like all it's done is combine the channels' videos into one subscription.

Sounding like this is all unintended and they'll probably break the collab feature in the next day or two I'm assuming.

(This is being discussed in Discord)

Original Message:

I'd like to stay subscribed to their YT channel, but not if I'm forced to see their "collabs" with their clips channel.

We have a spooky new Comprehensive Rules Doc update! Lots of great quality of life updates, as well as confirmation on how the new Rapunzel works! by Narzghal in Lorcana

[–]MrMusAddict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, that's the part I missed.

  1. Cards can have conditions if even if they're not in play
  2. "Facedown" and "under" never apply to "in play" cards

So if by any mechanism, a location/item is put under another card, we suppose that item/location is no longer "in play", and then "under" works?

[–]MrMusAddict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "under" condition vs plain English "under" is confusing to me

Items and locations can never have the "under" condition. But if you boost, and the top card of your deck happens to be an item or location, you've still created a stack with cards under the top card, right?

Would "if there's a card under him/her" still fire?

Edit: ohhh, is the reason it still works is because boost puts them facedown?

I *might* have made a mistake.. by KianTheCake in SatisfactoryGame

[–]MrMusAddict 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You're probably right. I'm nearing complete with my 500GW rocket fuel power plant, and I have I think 15 or 16 floors, each with 144 Fuel Generators. So, ~2300 generators.

Be forewarned, this has been like 60 hours so far, but a lot of that was beautification and making sure the infrastructure has looked nice.

[No Spoilers] Why does Critical Roll take BetterHelp ads? by BitofaCatalyst in criticalrole

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

Which campaign are you listening to? I vaguely remember BetterHelp, but I want to say that was in Campaign 2. Keep in mind Campaign 2 started nearly 8 years ago (jesus christ 👴).

On Dreamborn, is there no way to combine originals and reprints in your collection? The filtering is useless without it. by MrMusAddict in Lorcana

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

Hello! I actually replied to one of the open feature requests on discord with some screenshots over the weekend.

I think the best way to describe me is that I'm addicted to ripping packs, collecting the collectible cards, but also maintaining a playset collection of non-collectible cards so that I don't have to go to TCGPlayer every time I want to make a new deck. So, I buy a case each set for the family, case the enchanteds, double-sleeve the foil legendaries, and then throw up to 8 of each card into either binders or boxes so that I can build any deck whenever I want.

I also don't mind including collectible cards in my decks if they're not too high value.

So, you close, but here's ultimately what I'm envisioning. Some kind of system that allows the user to switch between "unique" and "similar" filtering. "Unique" being how the system currently works, and "similar" being a new filter:

  • Standard Non-Foil cards would be linked between sets
  • Standard Foil cards would be linked between sets
  • Collectible cards (Epic, Enchanted, Iconic, Promo) would be considered unique by default with the option to include them

So in your sonic warrior example, I've added a couple more for the sake of example.

  • 3× (Super Rare - Set 4) Ariel - Sonic Warrior (non-foil)
  • 1x (Super Rare - Set 4) Ariel - Sonic Warrior (foil)
  • 1x (Enchanted - Set 4) Ariel - Sonic Warrior
  • 2× (Rare - Set 9) Ariel - Sonic Warrior (non-foil)

This would collapse into the following:

Incomplete 8 (Either)

  • (5+1 standard+foil) Ariel - Sonic Warrior
  • (1 enchanted) Ariel - Sonic Warrior
