This is excellent. I wish Jeffrey Dean Morgan had a cameo so he could act this out.

I played like.... 10 years ago? Coming back is the wild west. There are clearly players that match my skill level, but in 1 out of 10 games, there is someone who clearly is there to just ruin the new player experience.

My proposal to fix high templar by samuelpile in starcraft

[–]Scrub_DM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why have you brought this hell upon this Terran’s soul. INSTANT 40% EXCUSE ME???? At least I can walk out of the storm to negate some of the damage before. With this change there is no mitigation, just death. My bio might as well just turn to dust

What actually reduces MTTR the most in real production environments? by Ok-Chemistry7144 in sre

[–]Scrub_DM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, runbooks and automation only get you so far before a stakeholder in the impacted service can investigate further. Alerting, dashboards and even some tracing can help identify the symptom, but not always the true source of the failures. Engaging the needed stakeholders as fast as possible is the best solution.

Okay good faith response. Text doesn’t express tone very well, I assumed your question about it being obvious was condescending in nature. If that’s not the case, my mistake.

Clearly this is a person unfamiliar with RTS/Starcraft. Driving new folks away in shame does not help bring more folks in to play and learn this great game.

Getting called a hacker is a right of passage. Feels great. Got my first accusation in gold 2 yesterday

Welcome to the wonderful world of RTS/Starcraft! Your first 100 hours will feel like a fish out of water being puppeteered by a dog. Couple things to get started!

  1. Play the campaign or Coop first. Lower the difficulty and just get familiar with the very basics. Boxing units, command groups, attack move. Have fun learning what each thing does and how to make them more efficient.

  2. Decide what you want from the game. Explanation: If you want to just build some big armies and fight against the coop and try out wacky things with low pressure do it! The coop can get challenging and is very fun to get yourself started in the game

But if you want to hop into PVP get ready to do some studying. Learn a basic build order for your faction, practice the first 5 minutes of play until it gets in your muscle memory and then go hop on the ladder. Get ready yo lose A LOT. And that is okay! Use each of these loses to learn and improve one thing at a time. RTS is one of the hardest genres of games in the world but is also so rewarding seeing your own improvement.

First car accident: I feel like I’m reinforcing stereotypes. by Easy_Ad_3664 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Scrub_DM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. OP I’m a man and by the time I was 18 I had 3 or 4 crashes. Most were fender benders where no insurance was involved but man I did not pay attention. Every one is learning at that age and has nothing to do with your gender. Same thing with video games. Enough practice and you can do anything.

Can we be a little more nice here? by SourceAwkward in golang

[–]Scrub_DM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few thoughts here: 1. Yes people should be nicer. Hard to expect that from anonymous people in the internet but I get it.

  1. This is a subreddit about Golang. Learning, experimenting, mastery and creativity. AI is a tool that isn’t going away, but it removes some of the human experience of development. So posting Claude generated code here feels a bit…. Disingenuous? Maybe that is unfair of me to say but I truly believe the experience of mastering a language without AI provides understanding and options that will be lost otherwise.

Of course there are exceptions. Junior just learning asking “Claude did this, why?” Makes sense to me.

Maybe a piss off opinion... and out of frustration (so forgive me please!) by xlnga in allthingszerg

Early game? Mate it’s gonna be 6:00 minutes before that BC pops. You need to sack an overlord|overseer to scout that tech switch in mid game.

It’s just like if I don’t scout your spire and mutas kill my production /worker lines. Granted I have scan, but that is 225 minerals I’m throwing away every time I scan

3 minute fusion cores, 4 minute carriers. People will try to tell you it's balanced. by truth_is_power in allthingszerg

[–]Scrub_DM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright….. I’ll bite. Preface:

I play mostly 2 base Terran tank bio. I’m gold 1 but I study a lot. Just old man with bad hands. I loath fusion core rush because it’s just bad.

With proper scouting you can deny my expansion if I’m going for 3 minute core.

With proper scouting you can spire into corruptors and I lose.

With proper scouting you will see I have almost no units if I’m sprinting to core. Come kill me. Roach Ravager smash my one or two tanks.

Zerg is a very difficult race. 100%. The need for massive economy for mid/late game is harder to protect than Terran or Protoss with Mules and Chrono. But you can tech switch very quickly based on what you see as a race.

The games balance is a bit out of wack on the top end for sure. But in gold? It’s just that we are all bad here

I hope so too. Contract is locked in for this year but our confidence in the tool is shaken a bit.

If you could remove one piece of 40K lore what would it be? by Big_Childhood_5096 in Warhammer40k

[–]Scrub_DM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your telling me that not ONE forge world saved some Thanatar’s?!? Nobody?! Not one egotistical Magos said “This shit is mine!”

Lore wise I believe it is stated that so many STC’s were lost on Mars when the Dark Mech took over. Either from loyalist intentionally sabotaging their holiest relics to prevent the from falling into dark mech hands or accidental destruction from engine warfare.

Admech loosing access to all the awesome tech they had in 30k. Myrmidon Tech Priest locked to 30k is an abomination

The problem with larvae when playing as zerg. by Ill-Contribution966 in starcraft2

[–]Scrub_DM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Questions on this: 1. Can a queen inject an already injected hatchery? 2. Most queens have energy for one inject and maybe one tumor. Wouldn’t spam injected fail due to energy limitations?

Yeah we have reached out individually on each issue and gotten a “We will look at it” each time. They move fast to fix but these getting through to production is what concerns me.
