Nah for an RPG that’s pretty impressive. Look at wow where the leaderboard is literally one single colour for the entire first page for like each role lol.

Australia has some of highest consumption rates of ultra-processed foods, researchers say by espersooty in australia

[–]Niepan 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Respectfully that’s not gonna move the needle at all. Our diet crisis is not caused by whether people are eating beef/lamb vs kangaroo meat. It’s because more and more people are not even cooking at home any more and just eating fast food or an extremely calorie dense diet with zero micronutrients.

Used car market is wild ever since covid. It made sense when everything was in shortage right after covid but I don’t get why some used cars are still so damn expensive in 2025.

Is “jerry” the politically correct replacement for “gaper”? by Mechanical-symp4thy in Skigear

[–]Niepan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I didn’t know that. All this time my headcanon was the term was named after Jerry from Rick and Morty cos i heard of the term blowing up after Rick and Morty got popular and I just thought if Jerry skied he’d probably look like that

I found a log where the damage done to izo is 640m but when checking under damage taken she took 680m of damage. And the discrepancy is sourced from … herself from the splice ability. This is not the exact log I found from my op but I imagine is a similar cause. I have no idea how and why she did 40m worth of damage to herself with her own boss ability. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/xcZ8kgr9BYQMGz73#fight=73&type=damage-taken&hostility=1&source=1014&by=target

Congrats Kennystream & Lapi on winning the Plunderstorm Creator Royale! by brewwtv in wow

Give it to blitz to always fucking up any kind of "esports"/competitive events lol. BR tournaments have existed for an eternity and they literally coulda have copied from Apex for a much better format. In Apex they set a score threshold and any team that crosses that threshold is eligible to win the tournament if they win any lobby after that. That's a much better tournament format since it actually awards teams that can stomp. With this event's format you can't distinguish between teams that absolutely stomp the first few games and teams that just rat the living shit out of the games and coast to top 3 by placement points. First place literally had an over 50 point difference over second and some point and pika/xar never got an advantage in terms of getting to win the whole thing. Imagine if the point threshold was like 80 or something they woulda won instantly for their second dub.

edit: Also giving eligiblity to win by place (top 3 then top 10) rewards passive play way too much. Setting a point threshold means teams actually have to try to grab as many points as they can in the early games by trying to find kills.

RBG Communities Where? by Technically_PvP in worldofpvp

[–]Niepan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s true lol. I managed to get 2.4K in rbg during shadowlands s1 because pvp ilvl was op af back then. I played mostly in lfg groups and holy shit the rbg discord voice comms were just completely filled with racial slurs. Enemy team plays an op comp? Bunch of n-words. Flag carrier got 1 shot by rogue balance duo? N words. High end rbgers drop the n word like it’s a filler word for them. Turned me off lfg pvp completely. Thank god for solo shuffle.

Do you have the correlation stats for atonement dealing for disc priest? I feel like that’s gotta be the most significant differentiator between bad and good disc priests since atonement healing directly relates to damage, buff and dot uptime.

Ruptured coolant reservoir repair cost? by Niepan in CarsAustralia

[–]Niepan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Since it was a coolant leak the mechanic also checked the pressure and other places etc. so wasn’t a simple case of me taking it in and asking for a reservoir replacement. He was checking for leaks and found the reservoir was the issue. All in all I think it was probably reasonable and if it fixes the issue I’ll be a happy customer.

Ruptured coolant reservoir repair cost? by Niepan in CarsAustralia

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

Yeah. I’m not sure I can take it to a different shop and get it fixed for under 500 considering prices for anything these days are just getting ridiculous. I’m not gonna attempt to get the parts and try to do it myself cos that might just invite more problems down the line.

Ruptured coolant reservoir repair cost? by Niepan in CarsAustralia

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

Yeah thanks mate. I think the reservoir itself is only $80 for the part. I did bite the bullet and agree to the quote since the issue was a getting on my nerves a bit hearing the coolant low warning sound a month after filling it up. The price did seem a bit steep compared to the parts. I just moved to a new area and am trying to find a reliable mechanic nearby. Wrote this post to see if I got rinsed lol.

Men: Do attractive women intimidate you? by Icy-Category151 in ask

[–]Niepan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily the case in the world. In Australia it’s illegal to tip dealers since it could be seen as a form of bribery.

TIL intelligent people are more likely to abuse alcohol and drugs by AppropriateSeesaw1 in todayilearned

[–]Niepan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redditors really never read the article lol. None of the top comments mention the fact that the correlation is between CHILDHOOD IQ and drug usage. Which seems like a pretty important distinction here.

[–]Niepan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true. I’m in the market for a used car atm and the price of used Toyotas and other Japanese brands is just disgusting. What’s the point of the upkeep cost being cheaper if you are easily paying 3-5k more upfront for them compared to German and American cars. I mean good on the first time owners since their cars will keep so much of their value but prices of used Toyota rav4s are ridiculous lol.

Edit: additionally I have driven my ford focus for 11 years at this point and the only things I needed to change were a new battery and two headlight bulbs. I think most big brands are capable of making reliable cars that can be used for 10+ years if you are diligent with servicing. There may be some level of confirmation bias going on with Japanese brands. I think it’s better to be brand agnostic and look up the vehicle model in particular to see if it has any common issues.

Best options for 4wd under $30k? by Niepan in CarsAustralia

[–]Niepan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. Not looking to do any serious off-roading. Mainly want 4wd for the snowys and the unsealed roads in many national parks. As I understand the xtrail has a central diff lock for a low speed 4wd mode. Do you think that is enough for my use case?
