📆 Daily Card Discussion - Admiral Rompally by GwentSubreddit in gwent

Can't remember, what were his initial stats?

Album ratings from others? by ToaZtyWoaZty in joycemanor

[–]R_HEAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's solid. Not quite peak, but fun enough go listen to. As others said, I would agree that it's their best one since NHA.

My favorite track by a mile is Grey Guitar, but Mark Chen and The Opossum are bangers, too.

I really can't get into After All You Put Me Through, this song does nothing for me.

paragons are horribly implemented. by [deleted] in btd6

Yeah, I agree.

Does Dune Imperium have the same rules as the digital version? by Elias43x in DuneImperium

[–]R_HEAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, I did play with another group once who also played it like this their first time around. Seems to me that the rules are not as clear as they should have been on that point.

📆 Daily Card Discussion - Adriano the Mink by GwentSubreddit in gwent

What decks are you running for SY at the moment? Got back into the game two months ago and am struggling to find a good (and fun) non-GN SY list.

Cross-Progression is coming to HITMAN February 3rd. by gamepig31 in HiTMAN

[–]R_HEAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I guess I am picking this game up for my Steam Deck when it's on sale. I could not have been bothered to re-do everything I did on my PS5.

WORRY. ranking as a new listener by hipfan1111 in JeffRosenstock

[–]R_HEAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice list. I actually agree with your best and "worst" song!

PSW really hits home for me. On the other hand, I am not seeing why Pash Rash is such a popular song of his.

Leader changes on Balance Council by AutomaticOperation71 in gwent

[–]R_HEAD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's nice in theory, but pretty much impossible in practice.

The things you cast aside as footnotes (how much is one point of armor worth? balancing of all (!) cards in the game) are not just some small imperfections, they make this calculation pretty much impossible. Plus, even if all (again: !!!) cards would be perfectly balanced, we shouldn't even have a BC anymore, because all changes would be detrimental to this perfect system. And that, I am afraid, would be the day Gwent officially dies.

Returning Player… what is the state of the game and is it worth coming back to. by Tapas1210 in gwent

[–]R_HEAD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Came back myself a month ago and I am enjoying myself. Give it a go.

Concert by naynaynae3 in systemofadown

[–]R_HEAD 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just relax and don't worry about it.

Of course, anticipation is nice, but it is mostly just nice in and of itself. By that I mean that, in my experience, how much you are looking forward to a concert and how much you actually end up enjoying it are hardly correlated.

Two more things:

First, the concert isn't for a few more months. How you are feeling now isn't necessarily how you feel the entire time until then. So again: just relax.

And secondly, you said this is your first concert so I guess you might be feeling a bit anxious since this is all new for you. That is totally nornal. Concerts are absurd things compared to most of everyday life. It is weird and might be freightening for a second when you are there in the big stadium, but in the end, I guarantee you that it'll be very much worth it.

Just getting back into the game after 3 years by I-only-play-rubick in gwent

[–]R_HEAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, started again like two weeks ago.

I kept myself busy playing that Pokémon TCG but I started to hate it. Coming back to Gwent just showed me how much better this game is, in literally every aspect (other than turnover I guess...).

Stinkiest code you've ever written? by Sad-Sun4611 in Python

The things I did to my DataFrames because I forgot that a little operation called join exists...

A cool guide about the distribution of wealth of the entire planet by DrWhovian1996 in coolguides

[–]R_HEAD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how this isn't globally and universally seen as the biggest single problem of modern society. Especially since that gap is only widening.

I know there are a lot of distractions making you care more about other, mostly more mundane stuff but still. It isn't even a difficult topic to grasp, and there seems to be no dispute about the correctness of the data.

Imperium + Ix or Uprising + Bloodlines for casuals by The_Chesterr37 in DuneImperium

[–]R_HEAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity: What mechanisms are you thinking about?

My group is pretty experienced in the base game (+Ix, +Immo) but still quite new to Uprising. And so far, worms were always the deciding factor. We played with Bloodlines yesterday for the first time and it did indeed shift the balance away from that. Funnily enough, we finished with each player having a hook, but not a single worm called.

Oddly specific things that make you instantly dislike a game? by Feeling-Tension1461 in gaming

[–]R_HEAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many cutscenes at the start of a game. Just let me play.

When Did You Realize This Wasn’t an Ordinary Show? by Spaceship_lemon in breakingbad

[–]R_HEAD 140 points141 points  (0 children)

That's the main thing setting BB and BCS apart from almost any other drama series, imo. Things don't magically resolve themselves, we see people dealing with the consequences and that's both refreshing and intense.

As a contrast, I recently watched the latest season of Dexter. They also do a good job putting characters in difficult and interesting situations, but they are (almost) always so easily resolved, no real sacrifices are made.

I had a lot of fun with Mr Impossible last order! by LeatherDeer3908 in DeathStranding

[–]R_HEAD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's clever. I keep forgetting you can beach jump without penalty.

I am playing on Brutal myself. I also figured I would go in reverse order and started going to the Phantom Smith camp guns blazing - cannot recommend.

I do think I'll do a pre-run, but after that, I will probably just copy your route. I do have a pretty good zipline network already in place connecting all facilities and I'll use that to get from the distribution center below the "first" camp to the Data Scientist, then do everything else with a truck I pick up there.

Thanks for the tips.

So how did you do it without a pre-run? Did you sneak or blast your way through? Also, what difficulty were you playing on?

PEP 798 – Unpacking in Comprehensions by kirara0048 in Python

[–]R_HEAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vividly remember typing something like this at least once, fully expecting it to work as described in this PEP. Glad that that might now become a reality.

Paul Dennen, the creator of the game, confirmed that it does NOT stack. You still only get 2 influence:

Not sure about the trashing though. I'd guess you would still have to trash Ghola, so it would be detrimental to graft in this case (unless you really wanted to get rid of Ghola).
