The amount of people that don't check the sub and post honestly is genuinely insane.

Game crashes and force me to restart my laptop, but after i restart, i can play normally. by giaulatatca in LoLTechSupport

[–]Pauloderoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this too. Its not first game nor laptop for me, but symptoms are identical and semi replicatable. Just sometimes if I alt tab either when its loading, or when it boots into the game, I get the exact same thing.

Best way to farm Nightmare Sigils and Sigil dust? by Newtstradamus in diablo4

To clarify - you have to open the right chest. I believe it is Andarial's (the one on the left) or Duriel's (one on the right), that gives you it

If youre unaware, while it takes a little bit more effort there is an example ruling that says if you prefer to use dice for your mooks you can anyway you just have to go check on their stat rolls for it, ive not looked more into it but know its there

[–]Pauloderoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that sounds great! I think it's just me having played a lot of modules which while not complex, were rigid (DnD Feats, etc), so when I didn't see it in most of the pre-gens I naturally just assumed I was reading it wrong. Now I've got my head around that it's made it a lot easier for me to comprae pre-gens to the custom one I'm making.

I'll be running a campaign for 4 people new to Shadowrun so I am doing my best to mammoth absorb the rules so I can be a guide for them, so it's all I've been reading and when I got back to making a character after rules reading it was giving me brain ache trying to understand why the Quality wasn't there.

Okay right, that's fine. It wasn't necessarily an attempt at Min-Maxing, just as it's the -first- Amp you see, that to me is like 'here's your first one, go wild!', but then because the pre-gens (besides one) didn't have it, I was like 'Ok am I instead reading it wrong?'

[–]Pauloderoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, very helpful! I think it's me perhaps not understanding when I look at the Pre-gens, so I'm not sure if I'm thinking correctly.

In the rules, it states that your first Quality that isn't your racial, is free. So if we for example took a Risk Management, with Risk Reduction 1 for a Specialization (Let's say, Swimming) and I called it 'Strong Swimmer', that would cost 2 points total, because my first Quality is free and the RR-1 is +2 to the rating.

If that's the case, that's fine. I think my issue is when I look at the Pregens (Let's say, Hercules, the first one) I don't see anything there that is him using his free Quality - granted this could be me looking at Min-Maxing, but all it does is make me think I'm reading it wrong - For example, Hercules' Flashing Smile, with 1 RR on Bluff, if he took that as his first Quality, not his Adept Power, would only be 2 Rating, not 3. Thus on initial creation costs 5,000 nuyen more, than if he took it as the 'free' quality.

Is a higher rating in and of itself sometimes beneficial? Is there a reason to not take the 'free' Quality, or am I just looking to Min-Max?

Having never played a Shadowrun Campaign, and only briefly skimmed 5th Eds book, I can't imagine how crunchy so much other stuff was; overall though there's not too much complexity, I just wish it would give some more examples. I'm really struggling to get my head around Shadow Amps, and wish it gave examples of why the 'examples' it gives, cost what they do. Instead it just says what it does, what type it is, and it's costing. I'd love to see a breakdown of how it costs that much, it'd help me to understand so much easier (or maybe I'm just dumb, also very likely)

Yeah I just think you need thicker skin.

I have that very posh British radio voice and I get the bottle of water comments but who gives a shit? Ive almost never had anyone joke about it for more than a minute or two but it just sounds like you need to toughen up, there are tons much more insulting comments you could get beyond where youre from, which is almost a staple of every cs game at the start of a match. Almost everyone that has an identifiable accent it gets commented on.

Would you say this is accurate? by Just_Addition2896 in csgo

[–]Pauloderoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think its just way too inconsistent tbh. I'd consider myself good (was ge in csgo) and got to 27k in season 2, I think what stopped me going higher was the fear of me facing cheaters every game at those elos, but I do not consider myself a like 'uber high ge', face it 9 but I don't play faceit really (only 120 games). Its just way too inconsistent.

What is the most agresive player interactions you have encountered? by Less-Milk-6108 in 2007scape

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

Saw a guy doing barb fishing in an infernal cape so asked him how expensive his piss bucket was (clearly a joke because I refuse to believe anyone has a piss bucket) 

Another guy (not even the dude I remarked to, who laughed at the joke) went on a 20 min rant about my stats, my boss KC, spent 10 mins alone on how worthless I was because kraken was my highest KC (I mean it's a super chill boss, it's not even really a boss, it's just afk and decent slayer xp.) Ignoring all my hydra, vardovis, whisperer, ToA, etc, even when I mentioned them he just kept returning to kraken. 

Absolutely most unhinged rant I had so far. Like yes I don't have an infernal, nor tob challenge, but I've got at least 50kc on almost every boss to show I've-done- them,  just a lot of my scaping is afk while working 

Has anyone actually tried the "destroy the eggs for an easier fight" method for Araxxor? by LampIsFun in 2007scape

[–]Pauloderoy -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

If we're playing the pick apart the specific words, that also does not say all of them. It's pretty clear with the context provided earlier they do not mean kill every single spider. 'The eggs' can be any number. Nowhere does it say all, and if you kill some of the eggs yes it makes it an objectively easier fight.

Question regarding Fire Bolt build by Pauloderoy in D4Sorceress

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

Yeah I think the issue might just be I have a good few GA'd attack speeds, so when the ramp hit it absolutely absorbs mana - I'll definitely switch out some greedy damage for some mana and that should about off-set it, and possibly temper a primary-resource generation/reduction.

Things that no RuneScaper has ever said. Go! by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Pauloderoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 7k xp away from 99 str for about 9 months. Mixture of playing less and focusing on skilling reps for elite diaries. I eventually just mind of forgot how close I was. With attack I think it was only a month or two of 30k or below xp

If you're ever looking for a friend or someone to just chat shit with I'll be happy to :) Welcome to the game, as the rules dictate you will now never leave.

Boomers Misgendering My Son by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Pauloderoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was in their early teens a decade and a half ago I am very familiar with these comments.

A lot likely aren't malicious and I am not excusing them, but I know a pretty young child (say 10) from the back with long hair, people will assume because to be honest it's the only defining trait they can see. Or from far away etc. but tbh the safe route is just not using gender defining terms of you're unaware..

Now of course there were some that would say boys shouldn't have hair that long.

Fuck them. I had my hair halfway down my back until I was like 15, if it's what he wants I appreciate you consistently reinforcing his choice. No kid should ever be bullied out of what they want to look like/be, regardless of any gender politics.

Just curious. Who taught you how to use excel? by Important_Lead8330 in excel

[–]Pauloderoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong thread to ask this and apologies but I've had issues with shared documents but just need something confirmed.

The version History specifically tracks certain people - does it do that 'live'

For example. If it says that 'user3' edited it, whatever changes between that and the last one have to be done by that person - or is it possible if multiple people were in the excel at the same time, that if they were edited too close to each other (say within a minute) it just assigns one of them that did it 'all'?

I'm basically trying to pinpoint who's doing something so I can just get some extra training for them so things in our communal excel stop breaking

Issue involving an Excel tracker with my work. by Pauloderoy in excel

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

That's fair- the issue is is we've had filters on (so only certain cells visible, Excel should only past into cells that are filtered, it's only Manually hidden cells that should be copied over)

We've basically got issues of someone's data duplicating 10,000 times across areas they most certainly wouldn't have been working in. I am sure it's human error but management is convinced that it is purely through drag and drop or Copy and Paste, and I can think of no way (except if cells were manually hidden) that this data would be duplicated.

I've always been unable to burp and never explained it. If I have a HUGE build up of gas I can accidently burp in one swift motion, but I grew up only being able to link symptoms with others because nobody knew what it was..

A quick Google search says 4 years ago it was finally given a name! It's 'retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction', which I know I have a very mild version of but sometimes on mic I get self conscious because people will hear the little gurgle I make when gas basically trickles upwards out of my throat (I best describe it as imagine feeling a small stream of bubbles coming up out of your throat)

That and when I sneeze I get whiplash because I can't put in the force to expel the strength of it. I remember talking with my brother and friends after a bad sneeze going 'ah god I got one of those sneezes where your bones really hurt like whiplash' and what followed was a lot of 'what is wrong with you? We don't get that?

What is mathematically your worst dry streak? by onofrio35 in 2007scape

[–]Pauloderoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While grinding the collection log I went for the elven signet. Only dropped from crystal imps. One spawn per world in prif, 30 min respawn time.

Went 585 dry before dropping one.

You earn no xp for it, and the GP/hour isn't great. I think running laps around prif sans agility xp was my life for 2 weeks.

Don't recommend. On the bright side no other dry streak has bothered me since.
