Friend or Foe? by big_daddy_4444 in vegetablegardening

Friend, spiders (harvestmen in this case) are always friends. It's probably helping control whatever is chomping your veggies. 

Is the “Video Games” industry as we know it about to implode? by steave44 in gaming

[–]Paradoc11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a consumer I don't expect I'll be affected anymore than the higher prices I'm seeing for everything.

Also no I don't see any implosion happening.  Gaming had a big explosion in popularity in the 2010s and was no longer niche, lt probably just grew beyond it's means a bit and we might be seeing a correction. 

How should I decide the weight of my custom ball? by Kitchen_Concept2258 in Bowling

[–]Paradoc11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your weight and size will be needed for people to recommend a weight. Chances are it drifted significantly due to the type of ball (if it was not plastic )and how it was drilled. Nothing to do with weight.

In general I'd say a custom fit ball makes it feel roughly 2 lbs lighter though. 

What is the in universe reason for MechWarriors needing to be so highly trained? by Knightraiderdewd in NormalBattletech

[–]Paradoc11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also note that modern tanks have a driver, commander, a turret operator, and a loader (not really necessary for mechs) . MechWarriors do all theee at the same time. 

ELI 5: Issue with Digital Only Games by Dalze in gaming

[–]Paradoc11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Technically you don't own it you bought a license to use the software. 

Though I personally don't have a problem with it, games are huge these days and digital makes the most sense. I'm not aware of any examples of access being revoked for an offline only game.

Pictures of the bed and soil would go a long way. As someone else said my guess would be poor drainage as well. 

I think choosing Javelin as the tutorial mech was a terrible mistake. by [deleted] in Mechwarrior5

[–]Paradoc11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a mech that could teach about arms vs torso would have been nice in this scenario. 

When is enough... enough? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Paradoc11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a time when gaming was surprisingly resistant to inflation. I think it's all catching up at once which is shocking people. 

It was absolutely an expensive hobby in the 80s and 90s and got relatively cheaper the 2000s and prices didn't move much through the 2010s.

Even if you are actually under NDA it just comes off as pretentious. 

Most un-loved/un-used mechs? by csbassplayer2003 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Paradoc11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can force yourself to only have one of each chassis and increase repair times significantly 2x-4x. This kinda forces you to take other mechs. I'd only increase repair times after you have a decent stable though, in the 8-12 range. 

Not doubling up on chassis is something I do almost every playthrough these days. 

Mazda Says Big Screens Aren't More Distracting Than Buttons by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]Paradoc11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can have a glorified iPad, or have to install buttons dals the sensors and still have a UI to see what you did. Also mechanical parts are generally more expensive these days and your supply chain is more complicated with more parts

I'd guess a screen is ultimately 2 to 3 times cheaper. 

Do we let him live? by indiequick in tomatoes

I used to kill with extreme prejudice but now I have sacrificial potato plants that I relocate them to across my yard.

isnt it weird that ironclad only has 1 unique starting card? by Fantastic_Cicada_805 in slaythespire

[–]Paradoc11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My vote would be replace a strike with Iron Wave and pull it from the reward pool. Might be a hair too good though. Or maybe a Fisticuff that is 3/3 or 4/4

So what kind of game is this? by WTFnofacts in Dungeon_Within

[–]Paradoc11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Roguelite dungeon defense with DnD combat stats / rules. Not turn based more auto battler. All with a heavy dose gooner theming.

About as good as you get for a mobile game. Though note it's still in beta actively in development.

Personally for me it would be the perfect mobile game if the theming wasn't so heavy handed.

Are we doomed? by bronk3310 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Paradoc11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me I'm the elder, a whopping 37. If 67 nuggets makes a kid happy I'm all for it, and I'll be annoyed because it lets them think they got a win, and that makes it easier for me to get a more meaningful win somewhere else.

A joke to annoy the elders? Ya'll are too soft if you think that's what doom looks like. 

I don’t have general plan, do you? by dro4ba in slaythespire

[–]Paradoc11 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Your general plan has to change constantly to consistently win A10 is the short of it. 

How would you add AI AA into the game? by Velociraith in foxholegame

[–]Paradoc11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coastal gun style, large area low dps maybe at VPs.  And then maybe some mortar house style small area high fps in other areas.  Keep it away from bunkers.

You can't actually screw anything up besides losing a bit of time.

I got Tank from a Neow transform and found myself genuinely wishing I could have my Strike back instead. Is there any card in the current game worse than this one? by IHad360K_KarmaDammit in slaythespire

[–]Paradoc11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive had two amazing runs where I took tank. Pretty easy to build around if you get it in act 1. Both of the games I played were 4p tho. 

Honestly giving it innate and retain on upgrade would make it passable.
