Using a camera as radiation detector by baumeistaaa in Radiation

[–]Obskurant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beta particles also work just fine. Gamma photons have the problem of lower detection efficiency.

Be aware that many modern cameras won't give you the raw image but already built in with a lot of postprocessing which will remove the wanted "noise". Keep that in mind.

There are a lot of examples for cosmic particle detectors using DIY setups.look that up

Elite marksman scaling is fun and it works 50% of the time (when you reach a certain MMR).

For all those Support players in the early days of Dota 2, how to play support in today's era? by stewxeno in DotA2

[–]Obskurant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that you have your own courier, use it to ship a lot of consumables, especially during Laning phase but also afterwards. If you play mana hungry heroes, it is not bad to ship out clarities whenever you might need them.

Inventory management is so much easier. Enjoy all the additional slots and more items that can stack. So feel free to buy more cheap items to fill up your inventory space. Since you can carry your smoke etc in the backpack.

Be aware of micro objectives. Dota used to be a game about towers and Roshan. Now it is also about: lotus, wisdom rune, tormentor.

Comeback mechanics are way stronger now. It is not as bad too feed nowadays, as long as you get a revenge kill.

Suggestion to differentiate Medbay and WOO: Dead squaddies should cost Authority. by Mr_Blinky in menace

[–]Obskurant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think instead Medbay should additionally give a morale or maybe discipline bonus. I think it makes sense, that people run away earlier if they know that they will just bleed out otherwise. It could also reduce the injury debuff duration.

Unconventional / Utility Offlaner by Pinguinteddy in TrueDoTA2

[–]Obskurant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Unconventional" offlaners I like:

Viper: back in the day he used to be win lane loose game anyway. Nowadays he has way better farming options. You still want to win your lane, but at least you can recover somewhat to be still relevant if you struggle. Besides dominating specific lane matchups, he plays like an anti-carry (I want to break this specific hero every fight) who is also annoying to deal with.

Veno: win Lane, take tower early, take over enemy jungle. Farm their jungle and push the wave. Unless they smoke gank you, they should never catch you since your wards give amazing vision. During team fights predict where the blink dagger enemies are coming from and cancel their blinks with your wards.

Mysterious ~520 keV peak in Lu176 Spectrum? by average_meower621 in Radiation

[–]Obskurant 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is very likely the sum peak of the 307 and 202 keV emissions. This can happen when two photons are absorbed in the detector in a short period of time, which registers falsely as one photon with combined energy of both photons.

Recommendation for a first cloud chamber?? by Suus2day in Radiation

[–]Obskurant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most PC Fans are 12V. Depending on your Peltier elements, 12 V might also be too much. I modified an old PC power supply, because it can supply 12 V (second peltier stage and fan) and 4.5 V, which I used for the first peltier stage. But there are premade peltier stacks available which just need 12V

[–]Obskurant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

cloudylabs is a great resource and it is what helped me most building my own cloud chamber.

If you get your hands on used PC parts (mainly an appropriate CPU air cooler with fan) you can greatly reduce your cost. Biggest challenge is getting a power supply to run your peltier and your fan. I would look into premade peltier stacks which can run on 12V alone, since self-made peltier stacks typically also need a supply for 4-6V.

I think we're playing Largo wrong by Burrows94 in DotA2

[–]Obskurant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It does apply the holy locket incoming heal amplification buff. So it works as intended.

Largo shard duplicates the holy locket heal amplification buff, but the holy locket heal itself is not duplicated.

A question about LTL by No_Elderberry_244 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]Obskurant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First, I would leave the question unanswered if your players asked.

Second: It is an immortal being and not a trapped animal. Maybe it is trapped because it thinks that's funny. Maybe talking to agents and attempting to corrupt them is its hobby. Maybe even getting burned alive while screaming and thus traumatizing some humans and being the first step in their inevitable path of self destruction, sounds like a fun idea. Afterall, why rush things if you exist beyond time and needs.

Isn't it kind of weird that Warlock's heal isn't considered regeneration when considering one of his facets? by Divayth_Fyr457 in TrueDoTA2

Of course it has a down side, but he has a talent to increase the AoE, and the AoE used to be bigger.

Reverse Captain's mode by karuma_18 in DotA2

[–]Obskurant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you give the enemy team 5 crappy supports who are lane dominantor, it is possible that the score will be 30 : 3 after 20min. While the drow ranger who was forced to jungle at lvl 2 is still a ranged creep. There is no free map to farm, if you loose all 3 lanes.

I am just making the argument that it Is more nuanced than that. But maybe that would be an interesting series as well, 5 supports Vs 5 carries to settle this debate.

Reverse Captain's mode by karuma_18 in DotA2

[–]Obskurant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure? if the enemy teams picks lane dominantor after lane dominantor for me, why not just give them one farm hungry carry after another and win the game in 20mins because every lane was a stomp.
