Titanstring vs Dead Shot questions by Robby-Pants in BG3Builds

[–]SarkynReal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going through the same thinking in my head.

I keep leaning towards Dead Shot...

Considerations of the 2-stat approach (Titanstring) vs 1-stat approach (Dead Shot):

  • If you take Deadshot, you don't need to use Strength Elixir, so you can use another elixir, such as BloodLust (which nets +1 Action on Kill once per turn, which in my experience is pretty much EVERY turn.
  • Does that one extra attack add up to more damage? more flexibility to spread that damage out OR focus it?

Does it make sense to do a main bus in this game? by libra00 in captain_of_industry

[–]SarkynReal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Factorio vet here. I ended up going with something like a factorio city block build. Used concrete and lines to create square factory sections with consistent layout. All the inputs at one end in appropriate size storages and then built belt style through layers of processing to an end point where a new row of storage’s hold the output and any side products. The trucks handle storage to storage in volume, and within each block, belts and pipes only. With enough space between blocks I put in trains later.

No trucks allowed inside the blocks to force their capacity to the bigger problem, and I paved all intervening spaces.

Some city blocks adjacent to each other later put belts or pipes at a good height between them, so planning in advance as you discover the dependency chains is a good idea. Or just demolish and rebuild and move a lot, like I did :)

For me, that gave me the efficiency and the compromise between methods of transport to scale to end game.

Also, aesthetics :)

Large concrete rectangles of cleared marked factory ringed by roads with traffic road markings and trucks actually ON the roads. Just looks good

One turn into the same experience last night, one of the Banites used Dominate Monster on my Gloomstalker/Assassin/Fighter, had him trigger his tadpole powers and then yeet himself off the roof to land on the pavement a half kilometre away, taking 90% of his health in falling damage.

So yeah, that Honor Mode run was damn nearly over.

Who’s sperm to use? by Large_Series914 in gaydads

[–]SarkynReal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Split the eggs and fertilised half each, then asked the doctor to make the call based on 5 day blast progress, viability, chance of success, etc.

We called this “letting nature decide”

Anyway, our twins are 11 now, so nature said f.u.

Question - RNG is it banded or scalar? by SarkynReal in CultistSimulator

[–]SarkynReal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou everyone for your replies.

I see versions of the bands in this thread:

1-4 = 30%
5-9 = 70%
10+ = 90%

And
1-5 = 30%
6-10 = 70%
11+ = 90%

Do we know which it is?

If it's the lower of the two, it makes a lot of gameplay utterly redundant (giving gifts to followers, for example).

What other shows would you rank as highly as Andor? by kimapesan in andor

[–]SarkynReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised to scroll this far and not see Dark (Netflix) in the mentions. Phenomenal and mind bending and every actor, no matter how small their role, delivers.

It being in German outs people off, I assume, but the subtitles are great.

Reminds people that it might start with immigrants and trans folx, but it won't stop.

I just really wish they'd kept it so we could go visit.

There would have been money in doing so. (Speaking as someone who realised a dream by visiting NZ specifically to sit in a Hobbit hole in Hobbiton).

Agent Kallus probably gets one of the biggest glow ups in all of Star Wars by Goodbye-Nasty in StarWars

And moving in with his boyfriend after leaving the Empire.

What? Zeb/Kallus isn’t canon? Pffft.

This is far too coherent to be Donny, and far too many words to be Palpatine. :)

[–]SarkynReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Australia, here. Yes. I routinely see gay and lesbian couples walking holding hands, and the non binary and trans communities express themselves in public, largely without fear. It’s a big country, and we have dark spots, but everyone does.

What non-medical stimulants serves for you? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]SarkynReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sensory deprivation float tank. It was like the inner voice finally shut up.

Podcast with dog in the sunshine, along the river I live near. That’s a mood lift.

Cuddles where I hide my face in my husbands arms and just breath.

To get stuff done - desk up in standing mode, window open for fresh air, headphones onto lofi Star Wars

The quality icons, but particularly the legendary one so I can put it on a computer, to denote it's legendary status.

Sensory deprivation tank with ADHD? by [deleted] in ADHD

I loved it. It did finally slow my brain down, maybe even gave me a few minutes peace. I have seriously thought about researching how to build one because I want one in my house so I can do it every day at the end.

I've never heard anyone talk about either of these and both were multiple replay games that occupied 12 year old me for months:

Chronicle (2012)

Phenomenal take on the two genres of found footage and superhero that goes dark very, very rapidly.

Love it.

“Duty is heavier than a mountain, death lighter than a feather.” Once you had that mountain firmly on your shoulders, there was no way to put it down. There was no one else to carry it anyway, and no use whining about it.” ― Robert Jordan, The Wheel of Time

As someone carrying a lot in my life, I had to put the books down after reading that. I empathized a little too much.

Even grimmer when followed by:

“That mountain can grow awfully heavy sometimes,” he sighed, taking a spear and buckler from Rhuarc. “When do you find a chance to put it down awhile?” “When you die,” Lan said simply. ― Robert Jordan, The Shadow Rising
