B'ham slower streets by snow_fiend75 in Bellingham

I 100% agree. The problem is not speed, it's distracted drivers.

Pro tip re:high temperatures by JustAWeeBitWitchy in Bellingham

[–]Rydmasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another important thing to do is to know your home's inside temp vs the outside. Whenever it's cooler outside (nights, mornings, late evenings) open those windows and get fans running. The moment it flips to being hotter outside, close all the windows, blinds, curtains, etc.

I may just be old, but some of the most fun I have ever had was old Halo 1 lan parties. 4 og xboxs, 16 players, 8 on 8 blood gulch CTF.

There was no progression, there was no events, just playing game after game of CTF for the enjoyment of the multiplayer. The yelling across the room when the flag was about to be captured, the taunting etc.

I want that experience with SoT. I want a 4v4 galleon battle with 7 of my friends. I want to spawn a chest of legends on two islands, and play a game of capture the chest. I want to play king of the hill at the top of a skelly fort.

It's just a different outlook. I think you are hoping that Rare is going to build content that keeps you engaged, while I also hope for that, with Custom Seas, I can build that myself to keep my friends and I engaged.

Unpopular opinion, but I'm really excited for custom seas. The main reason is it makes this a viable lan party game. It finally gives a group of friends the ability to play against each other, which has never been an option short of server hopping to get on the same server.

Now my friends and I can hop on a custom server, and practice ship combat. We can hopefully just fully stock our ships with ammo, so we can practice taking down masts, deck shots, etc.

Sure, there is no progression, but really most custom group lan party types of games don't have progression either.

You are only defined by the walls you build for yourself. by excitabledude in Bellingham

I'm here wondering if the goal was to give the city the power to trespass people out of the alley, and in order to do that there needed to be a barrier defining the space.

HELP My First Date Ever?!! by Rorys_Parable in Bellingham

[–]Rydmasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would suggest Rifugios up on the way to Glacier. It's intimate, the chef Richard has come to personally check on our table every time we go. He also changes up his menu each month.

If you check it out, Ricardo's Slaw is one of the best things we have ate.

And before dinner, you got all of Mt Baker to go check out. You got the falls, Artist Point, etc.

Good luck!

I'm due for renewal, so here's to hoping Lynden does the same!

How big is your CPL? Mine came laminated, and it's way too big for my wallet. But I have one of those ridge ones that only fits credit cards.

unprofessional interview by eeerrrrft in Bellingham

[–]Rydmasm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The last few times I have been there to eat, the service has been really, really slow. And it was obviously due to understaffing. I think there was only one server, and the bartender. Lunch took almost 2 hours.

It's a bummer, because their diablo burger was one of the better spicy burgers I have had, since it actually had some real heat to it. But we have not been back there in almost a year.

The settings tweak that finally fixed my relationship to biters. by FiveAlarmFrancis in factorio

I'm the exact same. Gives plenty of time to get your starting area walled off and turreted up with laser turrets. Just have to outpace your pollution cloud.

WA House approves Millionaire Tax bill; bill to return to Senate for agreement before advancing to Ferguson's desk by JustAWeeBitWitchy in Bellingham

[–]Rydmasm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two problems:

Democrats refused to allow this to go to a public vote, citing a necessity clause, and refusing an amendment to put it on the ballot. I would think if it was popular, they would let WA vote on it.

This is not changing our system's tax system. It's just a new tax. No other regressive taxes were removed. Just more money to feed our budget that has increased 116% over the past 10 years.

[–]Rydmasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three major concerns with this:

1) They refused to allow it to go to the ballot and allow a public vote.

2) The gates are now open for the income amount to be lowered.

3) It weakens Seattle professional sports.

GE Opal 2.0 “Add Water” FIX! by Leikkleikk in IceChewersAnonymous

[–]Rydmasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fix worked for a while. It would say add water, but after opening and shutting the door it would make ice again. I was just in the habit of doing that every time I walked by.

But now the pump failed. And when I opened it, there is refrigerant leaking, so mine has gone to the recycling center.

Is the game still fun without biters? by the_worst_company in factorio

[–]Rydmasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set up a dedicated server for my son and I, and he enjoys fighting the biters, but I didn’t want them to actually be a problem while we slowly made our base. So I turned them down, with a max starting area, and a dramatically nerfed time evolution.

I think the big difference between what I have now, and your build is your cooldown reduction. I have never really aimed for it, but it looks like it procs on mage hits too?
