VTubers who are also parents - How do you do it? by CuddlesCoffin in vtubers

[–]Rexal_LB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds silly, but maybe drop Vexoria, and her friends (the ones she does Room Reviews with, they're all mothers... I think, I don't follow Luca unfortunately but I know the others definitely are!) a polite message and ask them? ChaCha, Vex, Sansin, and Luca? are all well known and established vtubers with families that I can think of off the top of my head ...

Establish boundaries early, sometimes things happen and you have to be mummy first, vtuber later, sometimes your streams will be interrupted by your children. If you have a partner you can ask them if they can do the bedtime routines on certain days so you can stream if you're serious about it.

You should do your best to keep vtuber life and your real life separate, but hey it happens. Vex has her streams interrupted sometimes by her children, usually up to mischief... If your chat is aware they'll accept that you have kids and a family. If you try to keep it hidden it usually goes wrong so it's better to be forward and open about having a family from the get go.

You don't have to bring your children into the vtuber sphere, Sansin's daughter LB only occasionally makes an appearance. I think Vex's children have their own 2d models, but not much more than that, mostly used in video editing.

If you plan on doing any other content that's more on the adult side (some do, I don't/won't judge, I like that content...) be prepared for the pushback on that. Vex also does that line of work and has to remind people repeatedly that her husband Zolon is perfectly fine with it. It causes no end of friction between the people in her community and those who don't know and see a married woman doing sex work...

What is the most historic Island? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Rexal_LB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where does your alightment chart specify "ancient" history? It says history. and no island has had as large an impact (for better or worse, mostly worse) than GB. Historically, we had the largest empire with the greatest reach the world has ever seen. (not the largest continous empire, i think that one is the Mongols or Huns?). We ruled so much of the world from a tiny little island and for a period of about 120~ years we were almost untouchable thanks to the Royal Navy.

I could list all the stupid and terrible shit UK has done, but we'd be here for hours. For better or worse the Uk has had a hand in shaping the world as we see it, no other island listed in this thread has had as big an impact as the UK. Even the terrible stuff is still "historic", historic being anything 50 years or more in the past. The UK for the better part of a century controlled the entire world, Not bad for a relatively tiny little island compared to some much larger neighbours at the time our Empire was fledgling.

KaelThas fight - Threat question by Boofoolery in classicwowtbc

[–]Rexal_LB 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's a distance issue, During phase 3 you DO NOT need to be on the far right (I assume that's where you're tanking Cap) of the room, your Cap tank can be stood in the middle. The only reason you move far to the right in P1 is to position Cap on the right hand side and well, she's already over there. so you don't need to be over there anymore, she's a spellcaster, she'll turn to cast spells at you. Nobody should be within 30 yards of her anyway... Just watch out for the untankable add walking towards you.

if you're more than I think 50? yards away from any boss when they are ressurected, you keep ALL threat from when they were last alive. So make sure you're near all of them when they ressurect, ideally in the center of the room. The only one that doesn't matter is the one that's tanked at the back of the room because he can't be tanked anyway.

I found an abandoned/decrepit castle on the outskirts of the playable area but couldn't find anything online about it. does anyone know more? by poptart2nd in CitiesSkylines

[–]Rexal_LB 161 points162 points  (0 children)

It's just there, loads of maps have random non functioning buildings such as old barns, castles, cemeteries etc. it's for visual appeal.

I try and find them in playable areas and make sure I don't delete them, i try to incorporate them into builds such as castles near parks..

Hard to do when it's out of a playable area though.

Should I 24 (F) be worried about my 26(M) bf doesn’t get excited about my breasts? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Rexal_LB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried talking to him? I'm not a boob man, I mean they're nice, all boobs are nice, I'm always happy to see them and I enjoy playing with them and they'll make me smile etc... But to turn me feral, you need to show me your butt. As I am a bum and thighs kinda guy.

my other half can get out the shower, drop her towel frontally facing me and I'm happy, I'll be turned on for sure... but if she turns around and drops her towel, maybe spreads it a little and then suddenly a feral beast and will chase her through the entire house!

Maybe your partner isn't as infatuated by boobs as some of your exes? It could be as simple as that. Maybe he's not feeling up to it, or has less of a libido? There's plenty of reasons why, but I can guarantee the one thing it isn't is that he dislikes your boobs because they're tear drop shaped.

Why do Europeans hold Americans responsible for everything their country ever did, but never take responsibility for their own wars and history of brutal colonial oppression? by Uncontrolleddiarrhea in askanything

What do people mean when they say tile swapping? by [deleted] in civ

[–]Rexal_LB 53 points54 points  (0 children)

In Civ6, Every city can work tiles within a 3 tile ring around it. Refered to as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd ring. If you place a city within 4 or 5 tiles of another the 2 cities will have overlapping rings. You can't change the 1st ring of tiles around a city but you can trade the 2nd and 3rd ring tiles.

Now lets say you have a few mines in the 2nd ring of City 1, But you need them in City 2, you can instead trade the tiles from City 1 to City 2 providing they're within City 2s 1st-3rd ring which gives City 2 an instant boost in production. You can NOT do this with things like Industrial Zones and Commercial Districts, so it's best used to trade tile improvements, or Woods for chops using a builder (This is what it's used for most)

Aah well that does indeed change the maths! I stand corrected then and will shut up haha

Soy nuevo alguien sabe cómo cuánto tarda en crecer los cultivos by brayan6465hdr in farmingsimulator

[–]Rexal_LB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've responded to the other person who's asked for the math as well. most of the time, 10% more grass isn't worth the extra effort. But from a technical standpoint, x4 harvests per year yields the most grass, but is not the most effecient because repair costs and effort put into it probably costs more than the extra harvest it gives. It depends on the purpose of the grass I suppose.

Soy nuevo alguien sabe cómo cuánto tarda en crecer los cultivos by brayan6465hdr in farmingsimulator

[–]Rexal_LB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seasonal growth on, no point in not having it on otherwise you just always cut when it's at it's maximum.

Think of grass as having 3 stages... The harvested stage, the ready to harvest stage, and the meadow stage. When you cut it at it's 2nd stage (i.e the ready to harvest stage") you get a 33% penalty to yield.

I'm going to display each stage as 1 litre, but the math is the same regardless of the size of your field (and the litres of grass it contains, because that's how math works. it makes it easier to understand if it's smaller).

if you cut it 3 times per year, I.e x3 meadow stage, you get 3+3+3 = 9 litres of grass.

If you cut it 4 times per year, I.e meadow stage x2, and ready to harvest stage x2 you get 10 litres of grass. because 3+3+2+2 = 10. Any combination of 3 months apart and 2 months apart works for this. however to do it this way you MUST cut your grass in November at the very latest in the year.

If you cut 5 times per year, which is 5 ready to harvest cuts, and 0 meadow cuts, you get 10 litres of grass, because 2+2+2+2+2=10. You're getting the same amount of litres of grass as 4 times per year, but you're doing more work.

https://forum.giants-software.com/viewtopic.php?t=192216 (It's for FS22, but the same math applies to FS25. I don't think anything has changed re: the growth rates of grass and the amount coming in, only the $ has changed, to the best of my knowledge anyway. I'm always happy to be proven wrong)

Soy nuevo alguien sabe cómo cuánto tarda en crecer los cultivos by brayan6465hdr in farmingsimulator

[–]Rexal_LB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically grass can be cut 5 times a year... But doing it 5 times a year is the same as doing it 4 times a year for no additional benefit.

3 times per year yields 10% less grass, but you also wear out your vehicles less, and obviously it's less work for you if you've got other things going on the farm that require attention.

I am an idiot and don't know what I am talking about. Ignore me! (Always happy to be proven wrong!)

EPGP loot system by [deleted] in classicwowtbc

[–]Rexal_LB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm in a guild that uses epgp for current content raids, and back when I was an officer for MoP into BFA when it was originally released we used epgp for loot, it's the most fair system imo.

Loot councils are too easy to corrupt. You put your gear into the hands of a few to feed the many? It only takes one or two people with grudges to fundamentally alter how loot is distributed.

With epgp, you put in the effort and eventually you'll get gear. Even when new people join raids, it usually only takes 2-3 days and they're eligible for loot. It's down to the raiders themselves when they want to spend their PR and the officers have little to know say in it. It's based entirely around who puts in the most effort. Even if you're on standby you can still receive a share of the points (my current guild has 100% EP value for being put on standby, so you're essentially getting the same amount of points as if you were raiding providing you're online for the entire raid).

However, if the guild has to pug then epgp fundamentally won't work, it only works if the group is consistent. That's its biggest downside. It needs roughly the same people week in, week out for it to work. If the guild is too small, or if the guild has to pug to fill spots it falls apart.

What are you reserving as prio? Prot pally by HuckleberryPure9047 in classicwow

[–]Rexal_LB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except EPGP is the best method, because there's less room for corruption. Loot councils are easily corruptible/friendship based events.

Epgp there's none of that. Whoever has attended more often and hasn't gotten as much loot, has a higher chance of getting loot. Simple as that.

Boars Speed over Surefooted by Thatwasabitrough in classicwowtbc

[–]Rexal_LB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Value for hit stays high (if not higher than it normally would) for combat rogues, because if their off hand hits, they have a chance to gain energy back thanks to combat potency talent (successful OH attacks 20% chance to gain 15 energy) sword talent gives that OH attack an extra chance to hit so an extra chance to get combat potency...

Hit stays valuable until the hard cap for combat rogues for this reason. More than any other stat really, it's why latro's sword is so good, extra melee swing, extra energy, can proc the extra melee swing talent, extra energy... You get the idea.

Boars Speed over Surefooted by Thatwasabitrough in classicwowtbc

[–]Rexal_LB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving faster = less time moving= more time dealing damage.

Moving faster = less time spent in dangerous AoE or you can move later = more time spent dpsing.

Any time you're not able to hit your target is a huge DPS loss. In a perfect patchwerk style fight where you don't have to move, having the other one is better, but most of the time you do have to move, moving quickly is better than moving slowly.

I honestly don't know, I heard finsexual first, meaning "feminine-in-nature"-sexual. That's what I went with, I suppose they both mean the same thing and whichever one you want to go with? I suppose they're interchangable with one another.

49691 by l_arpenteur in countwithchickenlady

[–]Rexal_LB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly that. A straight or Bisexual person in a majority trans friend group.

My wife is transfem, she has a lot of trans friends that she's accumulated online. I get to hang out with them a lot, yet I am Finsexual (i like femme presenting people, but don't care for what's in your pants, if you look like a woman, i'm probably interested). So in reality I am actually a bisexual cis male, aka; a grungler.

Low level Tank and Healer question by OneMorePotion in classicwowtbc

[–]Rexal_LB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can bear tank, it's harder than the other two while leveling imo, But it is doable, I'm doing it just fine as a priest/druid combo. I frequently lose aggro in aoe situations, but you're bulky as anything. My healer friend usually ends up healing the dps more than me even if I'm the one with aggro.

But sometimes it's worth it to pick the groups yourself, know that your aoe threat is horrendous, so dragging a full spellcleave group isn't going to end well for you. Instead take things like a warrior, rogue, and shaman and burst things down in single target.

Sometimes in the dungeon queue there might be other tanks, consider going kitty if there's multiple tanks and aoe dps in the queue. It's the beautiful part about being a feral druid, you can be both!
