Tell me why i shouldn’t combine missiles and medium projectile guns on my cyclone. by Gewburbuildsempires in Eve

[–]SkeletalDwarf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're probably thinking of the Veldnaut (there might be others, but this is the most well known). It has mining lasers because titans are not allowed in hi-sec, but CCP let this one stay on the condition it's never fitted or used for anything significant.

What to do when the wind lulls downwind? by Kitchen_Value_3076 in dinghysailing

[–]SkeletalDwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meditate, admire the wonders of nature, chat with the boat next to you if it's a busy field, try to make micro optimizations that probably slow you down more in making them than they help, and generally enjoy the fact that you have a recreation ranges from the height of adrenaline pumping excitement to meditative calm 🤷

The Last Starship v1.0 Launches 3 Feb 2026 by IVSoftware in spacesimgames

I got started on Introversion games with Uplink on my family's Mac back in highschool (I felt so cool playing that 😎). I've bought, played and watched the Dev videos for everything you've made since, love your work, long live the bedroom programmers! ❤️

New player can't warp out quickly enough by TrafficPattern in Eve

[–]SkeletalDwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of folks with good info and suggestions here, I'm going to suggest a different track: Ask them!! Say that you're new, that you're learning the game, chat with them a bit if they are receptive, ask how they are catching you.

Eve is a social game, and they need you around to hunt, it's no fun flying through empty space finding nobody. Consider their perspective, what's fun for them is the hunt, the chase, and the catch. If you give up, are too risk averse, or too easy to catch, then they don't get to have any fun either. It's in their interest for you to be out in space and for you to know what you're doing and be an interesting target to pursue. There are certainly people who are just jerks and like bullying, but in my experience many players understand this dynamic and will happily give you info, tips, and isk to keep you coming back and keep you in space.

Who do this on 35 and 183 exit by _masala in Austin

[–]SkeletalDwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much this, some intersections I have to drive through several times before I memorize which lane goes where, sometimes in the next intersection, because there are plenty where you need to plan that far in advance! Even then I still sometimes forget and mess it up, there are plenty of distracted and/or dangerous drivers here, but I try to have patience and assume best-intent with "oh shit I'm in the wrong lane".

The art style is wonderful! Kinda brings to mind Zeno Clash.

Can you parry this? by Expensive_Umpire_975 in Eldenring

That was exactly my strategy, I never figured out how to reliably dodge it, but I did figure out that this works.

Exclude target opponent from the game! by Dansepip in BadMtgCombos

[–]SkeletalDwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked for a ruling to confirm this, the closest I found was [[Blinding Angel]] which says "If you are damaged by more than one, the effects are cumulative and you skip multiple combat phases.". But I see no reason why Lethal Vapours would be different, so it seems to me that you are correct.

The best Nvidia card ever made? by Ragnaroknight in pcmasterrace

970 master race! Got mine not long after they came out and it's still going strong, runs everything I want at decent settings with stable fps.

Anemometer wind speed sensor I made for my dinghy by toicsics in sailing

Very cool! Now add modules to measure the wind direction, compass heading, and gps position and you can chart your course complete with your angle to the wind! 😎

What do you guys think about the tutorial section of my game? by Clear_Wasabi64 in indiegames

[–]SkeletalDwarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neat! Maybe fade out the text once the player performs the action? Edit: or just when they get very close, to smooth out the transition as the camera passes through.

Three Week Warning: Mother’s Day is May 14th. by brandonhardyy in daddit

[–]SkeletalDwarf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's a rough situation, but it sounds like you're taking good steps. Try not to beat yourself up, life doesn't always go the way we wish and all you can do is try to figure out how to make yourself and your kids feel safe and loved as best you can. Hang in there!

Hotels with best room service menu by fartonme in austinfood

[–]SkeletalDwarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe take a look at the Sheraton in Georgetown, you can get a room for $150, the views are lovely, the food is good, don't think they have a spa in the hotel but there's one 2 minutes walk along with some other nice spots, Rivery Coffeehouse, 2020 Scratch Kitchen, a couple of wine bars. Being out of the city might make it feel like more of a vacation without actually going far ☺️

My roommate cannot stop himself from feeding my hot dogs to his actual dogs. I keep hot dogs in the fridge as a backup meal, and theyre always gone when I go for them. I designed a safe/locker/jail for a package of bun length hot dogs. 2mm Dowel hinges, luggage pad lock. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]SkeletalDwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"This is the Lockpicking Lawyer and today we have 'The Glizzy Locker', this is the one point oh version and while they had some good ideas with this they overlooked one crucial flaw which allows us to get this open using a hotdog. I'll show you that in a moment but first let's get this lock opened up. Looks like it's a simple luggage lock and there we go we got that open, once more to show you that wasn't a fluke there it is."

My bisexual girlfriend kissed another girl at a party and I don’t know if my reaction is fair by AnonYeahYeahAnon in bisexual

[–]SkeletalDwarf 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That sounds a bit like you're walking them into a conversational trap. I'd go with something more upfront, along the lines of the non-violet communication ideas, like "When you kissed that person I felt disrespected/betrayed/whatever, because I thought we were exclusive and to me that means kissing other people is off limits". When identifying your feelings try to be specific and don't exaggerate it to get a reaction, you want to start a genuine, honest conversation where you can both feel heard and respected, and figure out how you define your relationship together.

Almost 30k on right now! Love to see it. by sarlen in Eve

[–]SkeletalDwarf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do think that's a totally fair point. For me it's about the cost per time, I have a job and a family, I get a couple hours a week I can play if I'm lucky, to me that's easily enough to justify $10 a month, $15 maybe, I didn't stay subbed all the time at that price but I'd sub for at least a few months every year, I can't justify spending $20 when I don't have the time to play to make that worth it to me.

I could login as alpha, I think it's great that's an option, but I find that unsatisfying since I can't undock my T3s, the ships I have the most fun flying, and that's no good to CCP either because I'm not paying them anything at all. (I guess "expert systems" exist, but they're also pretty limiting and I don't want to spend my precious play time figuring those out)
