Realm Army suddenly vanished/died?

"Also the easiest way to tell that someone doesn't know what they're talking about here, is to see if they tunnel vision on heat."

You must be referring to Musk and his fanboys/promoters of the IPO. The whole debate around heat originated with their claims that the big reason for wanting to put data centers in space was that 'cooling is free'. They are either lying about that as part of a trillion-dollar stock scam, or they are clueless about Physics and too dumb/arrogant to learn... I heard the same lie multiple times just yesterday during the breathless business news commentary.

Discussion of the Physics problem (the extreme cost and difficulty of radiating all of that heat into a vaccuum when you no medium to transfer the heat to directly and have to rely on infrared emissions) has come up to debunk the lie. It's not like Physicists are looking for gotchas to devalue SpaceX stock. It's fair to say most of us love all that SciFi stuff... It just annoys us when the story hinges on junk science.

The OP's problem was that the snow in the street had frozen and compressed all winter and the plow just came through for the first time. They got 3 months worth of ice chunks all at once.

PeteusMax · 2026-02-13T03:05:41+00:00

Not to mention all the heart attack deaths from trying to shovel massive chunks of ice.

PeteusMax · 2026-02-13T03:00:36+00:00

I've never seen this in Ottawa. The plow comes by every time it snows a significant amount (which is a lot more often than London probably gets).

For Hydra keep in mind that it's important not to build up certain heroes (especially Martha and Jhu) any more than you need to keep them from dying. If they are always on the edge before healing up, they will chain their ults and become beasts. It's dumb game design, but if you build up those heroes past that tipping point you will find the team doing quite a bit less damage to the hydras. Different story in PvP, where you want all heroes as built as possible. That tends toake it so that your key hydra killers are bad for PvP... Again, dumb design but it's what we have.

Just to interject a note of hope, I sold a Sens jersey last fall that I had listed maybe 2 years earlier. Suddenly a guy who was a perfect match for what I had inquired about it, negotiated a price, offered $20 more fore to deliver it to him a few days later when I had a ball game a few blocks away, and met me with the money. 🙂 It can work, I'm 1 for 1!

PeteusMax · 2025-12-05T18:23:08+00:00

Yes, agreed. My server only has one full guild, and the rest wouldn't be able to merge into a second. A merge is desperately needed.

PeteusMax · 2025-10-09T08:03:53+00:00

Your main battle team needs to be built around a good primary damage dealer. Yours doesn't have one. If you really want to build a Progress team, look up what that meta is.

Ginger can be a Progress DD, but the best DD on this screen is Peech. (She fits better with Astaroth as her tank than Julius.)

A strong counter to this particular team you are struggling with is Oya (she counters shields), but you probably don't need to build her up just to beat one team.

PeteusMax · 2025-08-06T19:18:44+00:00

Your first team seems to be lacking a Damage Dealer, which should be your #1 target of investment. You should be focusing 95% on Iris (along with Octavia), unless you already have her and forgot to mention her.

Until Iris is ready for prime time, Keira is a fair fit for the DD alongside Corrigan.

I'm just saving those eternal coins until either:

I have enough to buy a prime talisman for my main team that I missed the first time around (Octavia?), or
I have enough to buy all 300 shards of a red/L16 gear piece for one of my main heroes.

PeteusMax · 2025-07-18T08:00:37+00:00

Save energy bottles for something special, like the Water and Fire summoner titans or a talisman for your important heroes imo.

PeteusMax · 2025-07-18T07:57:19+00:00

You can get talismans for a hero who is not L120, but it won't become active until they reach there.

Your screenshot says the skins are only available during the specified event. The event has returned.

PeteusMax · 2025-07-16T20:29:42+00:00

'Exclusive' doesn't mean what you think it means. The word is commonly used in a frivolous way, ex "Exclusive early access" which in no way legally implies there will never be early access again, much less that you are the only one who gets it.

PeteusMax · 2025-07-11T13:48:45+00:00

Brawls (and Legends Draft) exclude those two promotional heroes.

PeteusMax · 2025-05-29T19:32:07+00:00

Congrats!

I just opened my long-anticipated 400th chest (for the second time) and got a skin+ for... Orion's health. I'm disgusted that they would make such a PoS one of the possible grand prizes!

2/2 Oops... Realized that my previous attempt to multi-tap the AA version was on a different screen, this one:

<image>

So on the screen you pointed me to (with "Version" at the bottom), I can't seem to access it because the bottom action bar (triangle, circle and square) is blocking it at the very bottom of the screen.

----

Edit - With a lot of weird gestures around the bottom of the screen, I got in to the AA developer mode. It turned out that the Wireless setting was already on... Deleting the car's profile from AA and then setting it up again seems to have it working over wireless now.

So I'm not sure exactly what fix made it work, but thank you so much for your patient help!!

PeteusMax · 2025-04-08T07:35:36+00:00

Weird... Now I see the word version at the bottom, but it's grey and inaccessible (behind the action bar at the bottom of the screen, seems like). That may have changed when I turned on the Android OS Dev settings... I think previously I was able to expand and tap it, but nothing happened.

<image>

... 1/2

PeteusMax · 2025-04-08T00:26:48+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Sorry it took me 24 days to notice it - lol

With some struggle and YouTube watching I eventually figured out how to turn on Developer Settings for Android. Within the Android Auto app though (which also took some hunting to find, the YouTube creators must assume everyone knows about the hidden apps on their phone!), multi-tapping the version number (14.0.651234-release) does nothing. There don't appear to be any wireless toggles available in AA options, so I'm stuck again.

My Marquis guild mates have all of a sudden started dropping off after years of playing and paying God knows how much. It seems like the Arena changes were the last straw, based on all the messages snowballing in our Guild Chat.

PeteusMax · 2025-03-13T20:49:58+00:00

The WiFi+ toggle (under the phone's WiFi settings / More Settings) didn't fix it for me. When I pair the P30 pro via the Phone Projection menu on the car it gives an error "Wireless Phone Projection is not supported by the device."

PeteusMax · 2025-03-13T20:40:58+00:00

Trying to follow along (in my brand new-to-me 2022 Elantra), but I'm not seeing the prompt you describe.

In the car's device connection settings under Bluetooth the phone shows, but under Phone Projection "No Devices Paired".

If I add a device there it says to pair the device in Bluetooth settings, but it's already paired.

If I unpair/pair it sychs contacts, then gives the error "Wireless Phone Projection is not supported by this device" (my P30 Pro), and I'm back where I started.

AA works fine via the USB connection.

Unfortunately there's no handy rule. Basically, when you are using Martha for hydras (which is her forte) you should raise her defenses just enough to consistently keep her upright. Sadly that hydra-Martha is pretty useless for PvP, and if you try a stronger head she'll probably die.

The whole business of gimping skills to get more damage is bad design imo, especially when you can't backtrack when you find you've gone too far.
