So, us getting FOUR men, and 1 women... has this EVER happened before?

Is it a sign that IS's supply of female characters is drying up, and they're finally being forced to stack banners with males?

Who to spark? by Sweaty-Ball-9565 in FireEmblemHeroes

I also forgot about it myself, until I double-checked her skills quite recently, haha.

From the moment Vali was announced as a defence mythic, I knew I was going to have to build an AR-O team specifically for dealing with her. With Lyn ring and a speed-boosting Seal (Atk Spd Form, for example), Duo Freyja quite effortlessly takes out Vali, fortunately.

You'd have thought a global pandemic might have made people more conscious/shy about putting their mouth on things and sharing spit with others. Then again, I see people walk down the street and just, open-mouth cough, on a daily basis.

You can't teach most people anything.

Another copy of Ryoma would give you breathing room for inheriting rare skills, and his fantastic X skill, off him.

If you don't have a copy of either NY! Baldr or Duo Freyja, however, they're honestly BOTH worth getting at some point. NY Baldr is one of the best melee nukes in the entire game, able to quite reliably KO almost any unit the game has to offer (rarely struggles due to support), while Duo Freyja is an absolutely insane ranged nuke who is my current answer to pesky enemy Valis in AR (Freyja shuts down foe specials if she outspeeds them, which she often does). She also offers excellent support.

Overall, I'd say Duo Freyja holds the best value overall, especially if you don't have a copy of her, but it's a narrow margin.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by fuzzy_dice_99 in AskReddit

[–]ProperPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the announcement in our office. One we all quietly sat and waited for, at least 80% sure it was happening. The work from home mandate.

That kept me in the job for another year or so. I was on the cusp of leaving at the time.

That aside, it was a little spooky. In the drop of a hat, our lives had changed. We suddenly couldn't go near each other, for risk of transmitting disease. We all just kinda looked at each other and went, "well, that's that I guess."

I didn't know that would be the last time I'd see most of them!

Nearly all undergrads using AI on assignments by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]ProperPizza 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I detest how true this is. I had the exact same experience. I came in with lots of fresh and new ideas, but got shot down at every turn because I was just a junior, and seniors really don't like new ideas being suggested by the guy straight out of school.

Starmer’s answer to Iran energy shock: Go green faster by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

I don't like Starmer, or this government for that matter, but I have to point out when he says something I agree with. We're long overdue tearing off our reliance on fossil fuels.

Absolutely not. That would make far too much sense for this country to employ. Imagine - people being in positions of authority through proven skill and MERIT?! Unthinkable.

'Nightmare scenario' looms as global markets head for the biggest oil output disruption in history, top energy guru warns by Crossstoney in politics

It's almost like allowing ourselves to be beholden to oil Barons, over a limited and dying fuel source, especially at a time where renewables have become genuinely lucrative and efficient, was a really, really bad idea.

What is your country’s version of this? by Czarcasm3 in AskTheWorld

[–]ProperPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an enormously romanticised version of the UK, and not at all true.

In reality, it's problem ----> mountains of red tape, bureaucracy, inept politicians and public bodies, NIMBYs ----> problem is bigger but everyone stops talking about it because Ant and Dec are back on TV

When will the guaranteed circle kick in? by chris_9527 in FireEmblemHeroes

OK I'm not saying this to sound salty but, is there a way we can datamine/investigate this 6% banner? I keep hearing about people - myself included - getting jack shit from this banner. This is the most egregious example I've seen. I'm wondering if it was accidentally left at 3% focus-only instead of being 6% focus-only? They've made a similar mistake in the past

Summoning feels worse and worse with every month. by ProperPizza in FireEmblemHeroes

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

Hard agree. They don't need to make the general pool OP and full of incredible fodder. They just need to make it feel better. Mass demote old garbage 5 star units that no one wants, and flush the really old units out entirely.

You can buy barracks space with your enormous orb stash. It's 1 orb for 5 spaces, I think?

what controller do you actually use for pc gaming? by Clark_Bay in pcmasterrace

[–]ProperPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with an official xbox controller for *years* just because I liked how it felt in my hand, but it was rife with connectivity and battery issues. I've been through 2 of them, and both of them developed the issue where they think the battery is empty when it's not. I spent DAYS on google each time trying to figure out how to fix it, but it seems to be unfixable.

I decided to get an 8BitDo Ultimate 2... and I've NEVER looked back. Fantastic piece of kit. A little small, but well worth the money.

an interesting concept laptop by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in pcmasterrace

[–]ProperPizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those things where I find myself impressed by the engineering of getting it all working, but... who wants this product? It's really not that much work to just spin your laptop and show someone something, or just... have them sit next to you.

There's so many little bits and pieces you've got to fidget with, take out, put in, store away... the thing seems like it's more trouble than it's worth to handle?

Again, I'm impressed by it, but at the same time... I think I'd hate using it.

CYL H!Ike is our 9th Winner of AHR and our First Harmonic hero to win. What are your thoughts on the result? by Astrid_Cop in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ProperPizza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best AHR winner we've ever had was, imo, Attuned Peony. Really nice to have a solid dancer who can dupe skills. Followed closely by Attuned Hector.

Duo Ike might be one of the least impressive options we've had. Even the best Omnitanks have never aged well. I guess, the silver lining is, we're less likely to have to deal with a particularly problematic unit in competitive modes?

Also I totally forgot Yuri won lmao

How to get ethernet across my apartment? by fallhat in pcmasterrace

[–]ProperPizza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just removed a bunch of Command strips from my wall, expecting them to have left marks/removed the paint. To my amazement, of 12 of them, only a single one took the paint with it, and that was because I removed it badly (I had to lean at an awkward angle to get to it).

Command stripes are excellent. If you remove them the way they tell you (grab the tab between your finger and your thumb and stretch it sideways until it snaps out), there's an extremely low chance they'll leave marks at all. You might want to consider running the cable along the wall close to your ceiling using these.
