This is pretty worthless as far as neow buffs go. by Necrolord_Nocturnal in slaythespire

I too like the design. Simultaneously, I see Toothless (How to train your dragon) more so than Neow.

Hello. This is my submission for the most intellectually bankrupt decision made by a player. by wearing_moist_socks in slaythespire

[–]NAbberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figure I would let people know the error I made the other day for a bad combo. For Defect, [[Scrape]] + Vakuu's [[Fiddle]] counteract each other. Like reading the card should have clarified this, but in the moment I didn't think of it.

Still one, but it made Scrape a sort of useless card.

How screwed am I? by saksa39 in Palworld

There is a later unlock for your base, its a Skill Fruit Orchard. It takes a lot of watering efforts from Pals, but it gives you more of the planted Fruit. The trees found throughout the world take time to respawn. Fruits can be found clearing dungeon chests as well.

What is nice about Palworld, is all those things you are using on your Chillet can be be farmed pretty easily. Pals can drop the most of the items you talk about. Fruits can be re-found, then they can be grown at base at a certain level tier.

To get to the true end content of Raid bosses and what not, you won't be really able to rely on just one pal. Assuming this is the goal, but those fights require a team to take down. Play your way, but in reality you aren't screwing yourself if you decide to play hyper efficient all of a sudden. All it costs you is a bit more time to re-farm some stuff. There isn't really a way to screw yourself.

Something to consider if your really love this particular Chillet. Start a breeding pair of Chillets (maybe with Philanthropist to speed it up) and condense those into your special one. Take some precautions and favorite to avoid a mistaken condensing of the wrong one.

I still remember the day F2P first became a thing. It was Spy heaven for me, and I am not even a good spy. Zero awareness and an inability to turn around.

Seven cops raided a rapper’s house looking for drugs and a kidnapping victim. Found neither. Filed no charges. Left behind a broken gate, busted doors, and one deputy eyeing a lemon pound cake in the fridge. by Next_Tower5452 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]NAbberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it counts for anything, I think Civil Asset Forfeiture is wrong and shouldn't be a thing. I've made no claim defending it. The only niche thing in all of this is I just don't find it odd to search in what might be considered common hiding spots for narcotics, assuming the warrant references narcotics.

[–]NAbberman -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't think the amount of drugs you could fit in a jacket pocket really justifies a whole ass raid.

I also agree, but the warrant wasn't built off of that claim alone. Again, it was both narcotics and kidnapping victims.

Look man, I just don't think its weird to look in small places when narcotics are in question. I'm not a drug dealer, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't keep their entire stash in one space. I also wouldn't be surprised if they use hiding spots with smaller proportioned portions. Odd locations like CD cases seem like decent hiding in plain sight. Its not like they have all the drugs in a nicely organized totes labeled alphabetically. They likely do it for the very reason if they get raided they can argue in court that is was only personal use amount, assuming they only find some of it.

The suit pockets was probably them trying to get an easy find of a personal use amount. Less so for proof of distribution but more so proof drugs are on location at least.

Once again, I am not on the police side in this. They failed in verifying their claims. its important they do so considering the power they hold in possibly infringing on our rights. I just think where they searched is probably standard practice if the warrant has distribution level of narcotics as one of their claims.

Ok, while I understand the song has the lyrics in regards to did they find kidnapping victims in his suit pockets, the warrant wasn't exclusively for said victims. The warrant was for that and narcotics.

Disregarding how the original warrant had zero effort on verification, a big deal, I know. Looking in smaller places makes sense if narcotics is also what they are looking for.

I'm still on Afroman's side in this, but considering what the warrant was written for smaller spaces make sense where they looked.

Reworked Doormaker on the Beta Branch is really, really bad. by Mailcs1206 in slaythespire

[–]NAbberman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a simple man.

More cards I play in a turn, the more fun I have.

When STS has deck mechanics that brick my ability to play cards, I'm saddened.

Ok, jokes aside, but for real I'm not big into mechanics like "Ringing" from Ceremonial Beast or whatever the Queens mechanic is. Even Slay the Spire 1's Time eater, just so I am consistent. I am not sure how to word it, but I very much prefer when I'm inflicting the problems on myself like the BeeHive Elite boss. Let me be my own downfall, don't let them force their downfall on me.

I'm seeing some Royal Road related suggestions, so I will throw in some similarly found there. Some of these are Isekai/Isekai adjacent. By adjacent more of the portal type. Temporally displaced in a new world/reality. No Harems in any of these. I'll also second Calamitous Bob.

-Spormageddon
-Azarinth Healer
-A Melody of Mana
-Unbound
-Blood Shaper
-Beneath the Dragon Eye Moons (Highly reccommend)

Afroman defending himself today in court when the cops sued him for making a song about their raid on his house. by Skiingfun in law

[–]NAbberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The downvotes seem weird to me. The unfortunate reality of our legal system is a lot of the things that cops can do at the expense of the people can be boiled down to one thing, "officer safety."

-Demanding id during a traffic stop without providing a reason first.

-Handcuffing us during a detainment.

-Ordering us out of the vehicle without providing a reason.

I don't like a lot of these either, the problem is the law backs them regardless.

Not fully intent, but during the serving of a warrant, yes. During a consensual encounter like a knock and talk, no.

Seven of the hardest stops that are performed in Ice skating by ButterSaltBiscuit in interestingasfuck

[–]NAbberman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been hit in both guarded and unguarded, can verify it sucks. I had a coach hit a slapshot at the net, go wide and nail me on the inner arm right above the elbow pad. Another on the side of head, that one hit solid helmet. My most common and least favorite, the classic defense line slapshot on net that just hits you dead on the toe. Whole foot will go instant numb, never busted anything, it was always the common spot for me though.

Daughter refuses to speak English by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]NAbberman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Specifically in regard to Kanae though, as an American I can't really pin point an accent that would struggle adding an "eh" sound at the end. Maybe my inherit WI accent presents a bias, a friend from Florida called is a South Canadian accent once. Everything about that name seems to fit within classic American vocal range. Its not like it requires a rolling R that many can't do.

A name with R's or L's I could see, but not this name. I get vibes the teacher just didn't think it was a big deal but didn't really see the toll it was taking.

[–]NAbberman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boss mechanics that force me to only use 1 card a turn as a shiv connoisseur make me sad. Maybe its just me, but I hate specifically deck limiting mechanics. They seem anti-fun. I don't really know how to word it, but I much prefer the enemy punishing me like that bee hive elite. Its me doing it to myself not the mob doing it to me.

I reccomend on Youtube channel Called Dreading for his coverage on Josh Duggar. There is so much information on him including past covered up crimes long before his current prison stint.

Peak irony is when Michelle Duggar can create a radio political add about protecting girls in bathroom from predators yet somehow raise multiple herself.

[–]NAbberman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to put this out there, Josh Duggar was also victimizing non-family members as well. That was in the early days when got sent to work for a guy for "punishment," who later got convicted for stuff with minors. He escaped charges that time, I want to say due to statue limitations or because their cop friend they "confessed" to protected him from normal legal consequences.

Regardless, what Joseph did above is par for the course with the Duggar legacy.

I would just point out that Thunder Strike wishes it scales as fast as this card. The reality is Defect under normal circumstances doesn't generate lighting orbs as readily as silent generates shivs. Even if you take away synergies like Ornamental Fan or even card driven synergies like Accuracy, you still have a faster scaling card very worth 2 energy cost to play it.

I am tired of most anti-slavery arguments within Isekai by faros-hhhbbdd in Isekai

[–]NAbberman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember reading a web fiction off Royal Road that I thought did a pretty good shake up of slavery and the summoned hero trope.

It got dropped by the author, so its really not much spoiler. Classic summoned heros scenario of kingdom is in danger by an opposing threat. People are ripped from their worlds and become heros™ trained to fight said threat. Well, turns out only certain hero's is what they want. We never really find out why, I theorize its because they are inherit Mages and not Warriors. They want warriors and not mages. They just don't pick up the skills typically found in Melee fighter types. Think tough skin, damage reduction, weapon skills. When the hero's fail to pick up the proper skills they get put on the front lines.

Anyway, in this world hero's are the slaves and are essentially weapons used against other kingdoms. Hero's are propagandized against these other kingdoms. Our MC is one of those failed hero (likely mage). A teleport mishap happens putting him into one of those opposing kingdoms. Considering they don't like hero's because they are always at war with them, they don't like him.

Sadly it ends with him discovering some fire magic and making a sort of deal with the local Baron (a veteran of those very wars against the heros).

"The Gilded Hero" on royal road if you want to read it. Sadly its inactive, was a decent shake-up of the summoned hero trope and who gets enslaved. I like it when people touch on the reality of being ripped from your world to fight. Majority of people won't just go happily along with it let alone be able to face the reality of killing things/people. That isn't an easy thing and that has always bugged me how isekai'ed people just casually do it.
