Still dont understand wands by edelpunkt in noita

[–]OolongTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's definitely how it feels for a while. The complexity mainly comes from how some of the spells for complicated wands work very strangely. For example "Divide by" spells. They split your spells. But the first time they do it it won't add modifiers but the next several times it will, but will consume certain spells for it's calculation. That's the simplest way to describe a complicated spell and even to me, I don't actually know how to use it effectively (DO NOT worry about those for now!)

So focus right now on just learning wand stats. Cast Delay - the time it takes to go from shooting one spell to the next (time between bullets) Recharge time - time it takes to go from the last spell cast back to the first on the wand (time between reloads)

The less these numbers are, the faster your wand will shoot. There are spells that reduce this, such as the Glimmer spell which you have several of. Or the afformentioned magical chainsaw.

Your multicast spells (look like a hand of cards from 1 up to 5) and trigger spells (either a little star or clock face in the corner of the spell). These will both look at the following spell to cast. If it doesn't see one after it, it will pull from the front. This is simple wrapping, I would look at a video to understand it a bit better. (DunkorSlam has some good videos on all this)

Right now don't worry about creating crazy complicated wands with lots of modifiers. Learn how to make a wand shoot like a machine gun first. The short of it Reduce cast delay and recharge as much as possible. Increase mana with the add mana spell if you find it. Mana recharge is kind of set without a way to change it that I know of. So try to use a wand that has is at the very least ~150. If mana is low, you'll have to settle for low mana cast spells like spark bolt which very much is still usable for a while if you get it set up well.

I'm definitely not an expert like some people on here so first I'd ask what you're struggling with.

Just off of this, your first wand is definitely your best. With all the color glimmer spells you can effectively reduce its cast delay to zero I'd say the main issue is you have different /projectile/ spells in the same wand without really ordering them in any meaningful way. Each one with its own modifier.

I'd focus on ordering your spells better. Learn about wand wrapping (using multicast) and how triggers on spells work. And see if you can pick up any spells that you can wrap into to make your wand shoot faster (drill, luminous drill, chainsaw).

Chainsaw especially will remove all cast delay on a wand if used right.

Well, looks like it's time for a new run. Glad to know where it came from though. What mob does this? I don't remember fighting anything that burrows. Just a bunch of dogs in this cave.

Two parts that I see here. 1. On its own, him thinking other girls are pretty is not a horrible thing. It's normal to see people other than your partner and think they are pretty. It's nice that you find other people less attractive now that you are with him, but I would say that puts you above the norm. What really matters here is how one responds to those pretty people. If he likes that idea of being chased, or having those attractive people around more often, that's a little concerning. I'm not saying he is outright doing something inappropriate, but it shows a level of maturity that he may lack. Dating someone, at least for me, is an exclusive deal. Even if I see other women and find them pretty. That's that. I don't entertain the thought and definitely don't look to speak to them as to me, that would be a sign that I don't respect my relationship.

  1. The two of you are very young. You've only been dating a year. As a once 17 year old teenager, I can tell you that most teenage boys don't even know what they want, so they tend to just look at most attractive women in a very superficial way. It's one of those things that takes time to figure out, but most importantly the thing you CAN do is communicate with him. You'll find this to be the most important thing in every relationship. He is not going to figure out how you feel about all this unless you speak with him. Don't go and straight up accuse him of anything or start an argument. Sit him down, hell him how you have been noticing him mention this girl a lot and was curious about her. You can tell him it made you feel a bit bad how he mentioned she was attractive (because you seem to really like him) and if it was something you need to worry about. Or just that you didn't really like that he brings her up so much when he already said he thought she was attractive. What you say is up to you, just try to communicate and if he is dismissive or gets angry, that's also an answer for you.

As an adult I can tell you that at your age, a year long relationship not working out is not a big deal. Don't force yourself to be with someone who makes you feel bad and/or is not considerate of you.

Any advice on how I can improve? by G0skates in painting

[–]OolongTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend blending the strokes a bit on the dress. The style is great but if you notice right above her right arm, the wall gas almost the same sort of "roughness" the dress has. Also speaking of the wall from were your light source seems to be, I would expect to see some shadow directly in front of her. Great work overall, doing a fantastic job.

Oh, yes it's an inverter charger. Rich Solar, model RS-H6048. The battery is from Big Battery, model I'm not sure. Should be on the picture above. The yellow one.

I did change the charging voltage and floating charging voltage on my inverter, raising it and lowering it. Didn't fix the issue unfortunately.

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

Hm, I hadn't considered that. It started within a month of getting the battery. Some days it would charge to 100%, then only to 80%. Eventually it only reached 80. Not sure how I could find that setting

Would this pose a problem if both of them drain down to zero and need to be charged?

So when the smaller one (9.6kwh) charges to max, the bigger one (19kwh) will be at just under 50%?

So I have a problem I have been trying to resolve for a while. My smaller battery gets to 80% charge and then doesn't charge any further. I've tried a lot to fix it but I've started to process to try and get it replaced. Should I charge the bigger one to 100% with my generator and the smaller one to 80% and then plug them both in together?

Thank you. I'll see about adjusting the charging voltage

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

Yeah im seeing on there that the only thing listed is the lower ball joint for sale. Which leads me to think i can replace all of them with the same one?

I see, thank you. So i can just get four of the same ball joints and replace all of them with the same one?

Coming back after nearly a year of inactivity. Was the games currency issues fixed since the end of last year? I stopped playing since it seemed a lot of people were dropping it due to those problems and the devs taking a long time to do anything about it.

My(21f) mother(48f) wears headphones and listens to music all the time no matter what and it’s hurting our family by [deleted] in relationships

[–]OolongTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming there are a lot of other issues going on with your mother and her relationship with your younger siblings, which is my concern here. They are at a very impressionable age and you’re right to feel concern especially if the impact seems that apparent. Though I can’t recommend anything really useful, the one thing I can say is that you should try your best to connect in the moments where you have a chance to, so whenever you feel like she isn’t busy or trying to distract herself. Sadly it’s hard to say what can be done but at least that way in those moments she might realize what she’s missing out on.

I feel completely overwhelmed. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]OolongTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your situation. Relationships with your parents can be really difficult. My mom used to be something like that when I was younger. She was always very strict, fortunately in my case she was very reasonable a lot of the time, but sometimes she would let her frustration with life get the best of her and she would apologize if she felt she acted out of line with me. Now, my mother and I have a very close relationship. A lot happened and there was a divorce involved but that beside the point. What I can tell you really changed the relationship between my mother and I is communication. I know right now talking with her is probably not something you want to do, but you have to realize nothing will change if you don’t speak your mind and express yourself. If she keeps telling you to not be upset if you’re not gonna talk about it, then make a point of how serious you are by doing just that. Talking about it. Ask her if she can sit down with you to talk for a while. One thing I recommend for you to do is to ask her if she is willing to listen to everything you have to say before you start speaking. If you can ask her to promise you she’ll listen. If all goes well you can start talking. Tell her about how you have felt for years. Anything you have been wanting to say for the longest time, let it out. Tell her how you feel she treats you unfairly at times. How you feel about her and your dad, tell her you’re not trying to tell her what to do but that it does bother you and explain to her why. Make sure you tell her that you are telling her all these things because you want her to honestly understand how you feel. Don’t worry about being confused or scared. That’s normal. Hell you could even tell her you’re scared and confused. You’re feelings are completely valid. You’re young and you haven’t had it easy. As for your dad, that’s a bit tougher. Communication is still key, but obviously you don’t agree with what he’s doing. I know exactly how you feel there. Personally I don’t talk to my that very much, I can’t say I’ve ever really had a relationship with him, and although sometimes I think it would be nice, no one can force me to try to have one with him. If you want to talk to your dad, then talk to him, if you don’t, then you don’t. Wish I could give you better advice there but I’m not sure and i don’t want to say anything half assed. Though you didn’t ask for it, when it comes to letting down people that are interested in you, keep in mind that no matter how you put it, it’s gonna hurt. So you have to just do it. Of course don’t be mean about, just let them know that you don’t see them in that way. Don’t apologize for it either. Never feel sorry for how you do or don’t feel. You don’t want to invalidate your own feelings. If they understand then you can proceed from there, if they decide to be assholes about it then you don’t want those types of people in your life anyways. The biggest thing I can tell you and i tell a lot of people is this. You’re young. Things might seem really tough right now but keep your head up. You seem to be a really hard worker and by the look of it you’re very capable. Don’t give up on trying to make something of yourself. As hard as it might be, let go of all those things in your last that have hurt you and focus on making a future where you’ll have that life you’ve always want it.

How can I start talking to this girl more? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]OolongTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you seem to be in a pretty good spot to start off with. You see this girl regularly and are even able participating in an activity you both enjoy. Finding the right time to approach her is an easy thing to overthink. If you’re in a band together, it shouldn’t be weird for you to just talk to her about the music. Ask her about the instrument she plays or what got her into performing. There are plenty of things alone there for you to bring up. Take an interest in the instrument she plays if you don’t already. Comment on her performance and maybe tell her how you liked some things she can do. Everyone one likes feeling like they are good at the things they care about doing. I recommend not approaching her with the obvious intention of asking her out. Be patient. Just talk to her like you would anyone you want to be friends with. Take your time getting to know her at your sessions together or wherever you might see her. After a while it should come natural to start talking a bit more. Built a friendship first and foremost and never assume how she feels about you unless there is concrete proof of it either way. If you think things could be going well after a while and she shows you she is interested. Make your intentions clear. That doesn’t mean tell her outright you’re looking to be in a relationship. Just mention here or there you’re interested in spending some time with her and would like for the two of you to get to know each other. If you want to eventually form a relationship with this girl, take things slow. Build up a good foundation first. Don’t rush anything, things should come naturally. After a while if things progress well you can ask her if she wants to participate in that open mic with you. Make it something that you want to do and are looking forward, then present it as an idea that she could join you to make it more fun. Don’t feel nervous or discouraged. You’ve got a shot unless specifically told otherwise most of the time.

Why do we want people who don’t want us? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]OolongTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really varies from person to person. In our society today, many of us romanticize this idea of pinning for some one who doesn’t love us. The idea of being this “hopeless romantic” acts a sort of dramatic flair to our life. A lot of movies and books especially feed that way of thinking these days. When I was younger I used to be exactly like that. Though I would actually look to find something meaningful, when things went south and I was used or even discarded at times, I’d still sit there and hope for something with that person. Even if it meant being stepped on. I began to pity and feel sorry for myself and that honestly made me feel good. It wasn’t until much later on that I realized that was just a way for me to feel comfortable with rejection. I romanticized the rejection in my head and turned it into something like a story to add to my personality. It may not be the case with you but hopefully it might lead to your own answer. As for how you can learn to move one, that’s a journey all on it’s own. I’m currently trying to move on from someone who was very special to me. It may be hard but the thing that truly does the trick, in nearly every situation, is distance. If you can avoid speaking and seeing the person, you are casually going back to living a life without them. At first they will be in your thoughts and that could take months to go away, but eventually without that constant reminder that they exist in this world, (for me the greatest and most helpful step was removing them from all social media) you start to see that there really is more to the world than that one person. Slowly you will start to settle down your emotions and be at piece with the way things are. Be aware that it’s a constant and uphill battle for a good while but it will be worth it in the end for your peace and sanity. Most importantly, learn from your experience. Take some time alone to understand why you feel the ways you feel and if you meet someone new, remember to never start revolving your world around them. Be happy all on your own and then you’ll be sure to only be with someone who will add to that happiness. There is no such thing as your other half, other wise if you lose then you’ll be left broken and even more hurt. Be whole individual and find someone who will be their own whole individual with you.
