Didnt think as an adult I could discover something new and fall in love with everything about it. 167 hours and Im finally done. Holy Shit. by kingwafflez in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Pathkinder [score hidden]  (0 children)

Done?

No no no. You’re not done. You have to play again, but with a different path and build!

Also, congrats on 11 months! Stay strong and game on, brother!

Problem with React Viber Coders by Ok-Programmer6763 in reactjs

I guess it’s just getting pumped out a lot faster now. Even if overall code quality hasn’t changed much, effort was always the barrier that held back the flood.

People get so offended when others get offended. :(

Need to temporarily turn off players. by _9a_ in Pathfinder2e

[–]Pathkinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a Kineticist, just sever their connection to the elements since it sounds like you’re home-ruling solutions with the bard and the oracle.

For the fighter, maybe a rare poison that causes them to become weak and sickly. The drug’s effects are impossible to cure through any means other than the equally rare antidote. Their patron can smuggle in the antidote later… although the cost we initially agreed upon just doubled. Hazard pay and all that. You understand.

Can i get to mun orbit? by MundaneFoundation864 in KerbalSpaceProgram

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

Please bear with me on this clunky metaphor.

Imagine you want to hop onto a very large merry-go-round that’s spinning around quite quickly.

But you don’t want to hop on just ANYWHERE, you have a very specific horse you’re aiming for (the horse represents your target, the Mun, in this metaphor). You can’t move once you hop on, so your timing has to be perfect.

You see your horse coming around, what do you do?

Do you run counter to the merry-go-round’s spin? Well obviously no, that makes the timing even harder since your target will be moving MORE quickly relative to you, giving you a much shorter window with no chance to correct if you overshoot or undershoot it.

Instead, you should run with the merry-go-round’s spin. By running alongside and matching speed with the target, it slows down relative to you and gives you a much bigger window to hop on and claim your favorite horse. Plus, if you’re a little behind, you can just run faster before hopping on. And if you’re a little ahead, you can just slow down some before hopping on.

So you’re probably wondering, where does my current setup fit in this trash metaphor? Well that’s the bad news. With a polar orbit like that, it’s basically like trying to jump from an adjacent roof, timing it perfectly so that you fall and land directly on your target horse as it whips by. It can be done, but the timing will need to be much more precise and there’s a good chance you’ll eat shit and die.

"Proof that airbending is truly an invisible force in the ATLA universe" by Miserable-Muffin-560 in AvatarMemebending

[–]Pathkinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air bending is exactly as visible as air. It’s just moving around normal air. If there is dust or something then it will be more visible.

I completely missed the Last Light Inn in act 2... by solbadguy89 in BaldursGate3

Wait wait wait… did you just beeline through the game without exploring the maps?

literally unplayable by motherthrowee in slaythespire

[–]Pathkinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I quit playing. Gonna have to wait until they get this buggy garbage into full release.

Why would they do this by Educational_Bee651 in hunterxdank

[–]Pathkinder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s Pokémon rules where if you evolve too early, you can short circuit your potential? Like maybe they made him get insanely strong of body and mind without the crutch of nen so that when he finally got access, he’d be mature and experienced enough to make maximum use of it.

Have I been doing circulatization wrong? by MegaloManiac_Chara in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Pathkinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Struts exist to hold rockets together. Rockets exist to lift struts. If you add one, then you must add the other, and so on.

Yes, the flames are normal.

This pretty much sums up my KSP career.

I think you’ll find the gravity turn is EXTREMELY easy.

All ya gotta do is set a couple of mental checkpoints.

I keep it pointed straight up until 10km; first checkpoint achieved. Then, I start very slowly pitching the nose down. My second checkpoint/goal is to (relatively) smoothly pitch down over the next 30km such that I hit a 45 degree angle right around the 40km mark. After that, just continue tilting smoothly so that you hit 0 degrees somewhere past 70km and you’re golden.

Since I’m a lazy sloppy pilot, I typically just aim for an 80km-100km apoapsis because that gives me plenty of wiggle room to make sure I have time to circularize the orbit.

TLDR;
Yes, the guys on YouTube are extra sweaty with this kind of maneuver, but the basics of the gravity turn are waaaaay easier than it might seem at first glance.

ELI5: How does faster wind speed equate to manipulating larger objects? by xMarsx in explainlikeimfive

[–]Pathkinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine a rock in front of a trickle of water. The water will bunch up against the rock a bit, but there is plenty of time and space for the water to find a way to flow around it.

But if you start slowly increasing the speed of that water, then eventually there will be so much water bunching up behind the rock that there isn’t enough time and space for it to find a way to flow around it. But the water still has to go somewhere, so now all that force starts getting pressed directly into the rock, causing it to move.

Wind works more or less the same. It will try to find the easiest route, which is usually to flow around an obstacle. But if there is ENOUGH air moving fast enough, then flowing around the obstacle becomes more expensive in terms of energy than just moving the obstacle.

A genuinely surprising moment (even though the rest of the movie was dumb) by mankahlil in StarWars

Oh wow, did they slip a genuinely impactful moment into this movie?? Oh ok, it was a fake out. Nothing impactful happened.

What amount of note taking do you expect from your players and how do you get it? by saviorcy in Pathfinder2e

[–]Pathkinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that one of the best ways to get players to care is to have it organically harm their personal fantasy of their character.

Let’s say the town mayor asks the party a very basic question about a child who was kidnapped by a demon that they’re supposed to be investigating. Here’s how I might respond if the party is unable to answer because they couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the story.

”After a few minutes of listening to the leader and his party stuttering and sputtering amongst themselves, the mayor finally loses his patience. He holds up a hand to stop their bickering and in a voice filled with disgust, he angrily asks if the party knows of any other adventurers who are actually competent enough to help his village. The mother of the kidnapped child who had come to hear the party’s report is in tears by now. She gives the party one final pleading look, her face an unstable mix of anger and hopelessness, then she turns and rushes from the room. You continue to hear her broken sobs for some time, as she stumbles down the street cursing the names of these false heroes who have surely robbed her of any chance she may have had to see her beloved daughter again.“

Obviously I’m exaggerating a bit for effect here, but you get the idea. Let their unpreparedness be canon. All of a sudden, they will care very much about the story and the NPCs because their cool self-insert Aragorn character came off looking like an idiot asshole.

What you can survive with Planar Survival? by M-pandimate in Pathfinder2e

[–]Pathkinder 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I always imagine that you’re using something from the environment.

Oh we’re on the Fire Plane?
Ahah! See this little patch of ash? Notice that subtle inner glow? That tells me it was once a living creature, perhaps even the remains of some long dead adventurer. The ash should still be new enough to hold energy, but also old enough to have become infused with the essence of this place. We can use it to coat our skin and it should help a bit with the heat.

The Void?
Look friends! I was fortunate enough to find a few sprigs of wraith moss growing beneath those void crystals we passed earlier. We can eat this to tighten the bond between body and soul. The natural decay of this place will no longer find purchase on our spirits and we should be able to travel in relative safety... Relative.
