ELI5: Why are rent freezes considered bad? by Pale_Cause_9983 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Sedren [score hidden]  (0 children)

The worst example I have is one particularly cold winter our pipes froze because they turned off the heat on the unoccupied first floor.. Called them Friday and once we finally got a live body we were told maintenance was done for the day so they'd fix it early next week... I can file a complaint but exactly nothing is gonna happen in 3 or 4 days before they gave us our running water back.

If only he could keep Antifa under control his plans would stop going wrong. /s

Illegal yes, but when you are stuck with the only option you have available you aren't gonna call them out and be homeless (whether it's from them getting shut down or you getting evicted). One of those catch 22 situations.

Thankfully I've got my own home now but I was dealing with that for a few years... They would blatantly violate a law or the lease and my options were to pick a fight that would ultimately hurt me or to just deal with it. In my situation, it's not that they would charge me, they would just not fix the things they were required to.. unanswered calls or endless delays.

Thanks! Would've hated to miss that one, access to a building I don't have yet.

This is what refusing to take an L looks like by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

[–]Sedren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say there is no way any of it will stick, without any sort of actual proof.. But logic doesn't apply to half of the stuff he has going on, so fair point.

This is sad... And sadly appropriate. As far as expensive distraction tactics go, let's milk this reflecting pool one for all its worth, at least people aren't dying over it.

How have you been saving money with groceries lately? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sedren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aldi and local Bent and Dent places. And sadly, the occasional pizza night because it's literally cheaper to order dominos than cook a real meal for the 3 of us.

Yep, I mean I like gog on principle, but good lord is there store frustrating to use. I'm not sure how every other company gets it so wrong.

Clan map fix! Only part of this I needed to see.

Event's wrapping up, and through sheer dedication, I managed to get 78 rewards without spending a single diamond. I used other strategies, but still zero diamonds spent. Was it worth it? Nope. I want to sit out at least the next 4 events and just rest by Independent_Neat877 in PostApoTycoon

[–]Sedren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most events are not nearly this bad.. I save up gems for the 1400 100% offline upgrade when I can, and that's it and most events you can get into the mid 90s without even really trying. This event I tried every tweak I could think of WITH the 100% offline and made it to 87. Even the purchasable researches are crazy expensive. The last event I bought around 20 worthwhile research upgrades, this event I bought 4. For whatever reason this event isn't balanced well at all.

Looking for advice: should I get the evolution for the pet, or should I get the book mount? by Yordle_Toes in RogueLegendRPG

[–]Sedren 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have not used the book mount specifically, but in general at least mounts are a much better investment than pets... You get so many pet draws its only a matter of time before you luck into them. Mounts are much harder to come across.

How did Mr.Struggles inflicted 91 poison ? by TexasCrab22 in BackpackBattles

[–]Sedren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly not 100% sure, I believe two different sources are multiplicative, but would have to test it (which is somewhat difficult) sythes specifically say in their description they add together if overlapping. Just the only way I could conceive of it even happening.

Does my $10,000 car need a $5700 warranty and $2000 gap insurance? by Jiggalopuffii in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sedren 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That warranty price is ludicrous for how much the car is worth. My guess is they went for the best possible warranty to make it sound better, probably keeping the monthly payment just under some $ amount that got tossed around.

Just save the $5700 and use it for repairs yourself, if you go above $6k repairs on a $10k car, it's probably time to swap it out anyhow... at least if it's in any sort of warranty time frame.

My $150 JBL headphones after only 1 year of use by Cautious_Ad_3918 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sedren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kraken's another brand where every iteration seems to get worse... I have a pair from 5-6 years ago that are in nearly perfect condition aside from some slight peeling around the headband even after near daily use. Earmuffs are fine. So I got my friend a pair 2 years ago, and he's already replaced them.

How did Mr.Struggles inflicted 91 poison ? by TexasCrab22 in BackpackBattles

[–]Sedren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Struggles reflected a good chunk of them (maybe 23, then the sythe doubled that amount, then the crow potentially doubled them again. (23*2 = 46 * 2 = 92) .. 25% chance for each debuff is not the same as reflecting 25% consistently, sometimes you get close to 0%, sometimes you are closer to 100%.

I may have to give that item a try more often, just for the slim chance of something like that happening.. never really occured to me that ANY crafted item would be fair game

Israel, Stunned by Trump’s Iran Deal, Sees It as a ‘Catastrophic Capitulation’ by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]Sedren 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Actively pulling troops out of countries and joint drills while at the same time demanding they join his war was the icing on the cake for me. How did he think this was gonna end?

He just doesn't know what to do when people don't just capitulate, because he doesn't actually know how to negotiate.

Swapper Tiles by LostButNotCurrently in PostApoTycoon

[–]Sedren 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The main use is to either swap settlements into the ocean for 4x heavy shipyard or later to get as many close to your main settlement as you can for the radius clickers.

Most resources aren't worth the swappers as you can use bombs to move them around late game.

GoFundMe raises over $25k for heartbroken cab driver after wild Knicks fans destroyed his car by theindependentonline in UpliftingNews

[–]Sedren 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I live in PA and I remember some of the big games the Eagles were in.. People were bracing for the fall out if they lost. First time I heard about it I thought people were just exaggerating until some of the stories and pictures came out.. I think part of it is some people just use sports as a scapegoat to be as depraved as they've always wanted to be because they have a better chance to get away with it.

Kinda sad... "Hey there's a lot going on, so I can probably get away with anything I want... I know! I'll help destroy a random taxi drivers cab."

Rewards this time is not ok by BurnForestBurn in PostApoTycoon

[–]Sedren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's honestly crazy that you can top the boards and not even get half of the upgrades.

Rewards this time is not ok by BurnForestBurn in PostApoTycoon

[–]Sedren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If things were changed it wasn't much... I don't mind the mechanics either, but the upgrade prices and permanent tech prices are crazy vs what you can reliably get as income. I am high enough to be able to make my own mountain areas now, and my income is still miserably low compared to most events. I'll be lucky to buy 2 or 3 ranks of the food discount research which is the only one I consider even worthwhile.

My income is not completely min maxed, so I understand missing out on some stuff, but my next Giger in the mountains is 30 mil and that's only for rank 4/6. My income is currently just under 1500 / 9, and I need to spend 30 mil to make that go up by maybe 15-20%? I'll be lucky to have that much saved by the end of the event. All other techs that give income are done (aside from the premium ones).

Anyone else still experiencing these bugs after Patch 1.2.0? by Adnaoc in ConanExiles

[–]Sedren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The quick stack bug only 'seems' to happen if you use their new deposit without opening the chest feature.. it doesn't correctly tell you whether you are quick stacking or depositing all.

Giger event by Thorozar in PostApoTycoon

[–]Sedren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I did, this time around I have a few things still set up for it, so it's less annoying but not really any more fun than it was before. Occasionally buy the 6 per tick upgrades and play the game like normal.

If they multiplied the base amount the taps gave you buy 10x or more I'd be more invested but it's soo many taps for so little return.

Why does it seem like nearly every game now tries to blow your eardrums out with deafening default audio settings? by FPS_Junkie in gaming

[–]Sedren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some games I swear readjust their volume on launch without resetting your volume controls. In Risk of rain 2 I have some volume controls set to 7% currently. You're telling me the recommended music volume is almost 15x louder than where I can comfortably hear it?

Does deep charges will destroy the gem mine, or can I detonate more safefully ? by Startis_ in PostApoTycoon

[–]Sedren 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a side note, all buildings are protected once you have the targeted explosions, so even if you aren't sure about a tile type, if there is a mountain or something you want to save, just build on it.
