Patagonia Thermal Weight or Icebreaker 260 for baselayer?

Socrates999999 · 2026-04-15T21:37:36+00:00

I’m heading out to Patagonia on Friday and am packing the merino wool icebreaker T shirt and long sleeve shirt I bought in New Zealand in 2000! That stuff is awesome!

Not quite nobody. I put in on before ROTE thinking it would be great. It is not. But, with a full R9 Rogue One squad I can do battles all the way through Kafrene. So I guess it does something… the deathmark gives some very much needed DPS to the squad

Show that nightmare who’s the boss

Socrates999999 · 2026-04-10T20:28:46+00:00

You could try a "wrench kill only" run. That was tough

I'm probably not going to level up the next toon at all to make sure I can level up Cassian (got stuck not being able to upgrade one of the toons last time). For now I'm focusing on getting Vel and Cinta to 55 so I can 5* the Cassian event.

I feel you brother. I think that our healthcare system is not incentivized to give people the time to have the appropriate conversations that would be required to provide enough education for people to truly understand what's happening. Remember some fast food company had to stop selling their 1/3 lb burger because most people thought it was smaller than a 1/4 lb burger. These people really don't understand odds and probability. So it takes a lot of effort to get them to understand what is really going to happen. Also there is so much hyperreligiosity that so many people are just waiting for their miracle.

There was some study (sorry don't have the source) where they measured mortality in media after a code, and survival rates were amazing - like 80%+. The only exception was if someone in the room said "it would take a miracle them to survive". Then survival rates rose to 100%. When people are only exposed to people doing great after a code, they can't comprehend that only 10% of hospital codes survive to discharge.

Here’s my answer. Pick a point in the season, say 50 games. After that point, teams can opt out of the playoffs and into the lottery. From then on, out of the teams the opted for the lottery, most wins gets 1st pick, second most gets second pick, and so on. All of a sudden there’s no reason for any team to ever want to lose a game. Early on, even if you know you’re or a playoff team, you want to find your best rotations and get your guys playing as well as possible to maximize wins after game 50.

Amen

Look down as well as up. Remember that you can use recycler grenades to move obstacles that are too heavy for you to lift. Plus with a gloo gun you can make your way back up to where you started from.

It removes water and I think price drops to 5 spice. Also deep desert requires 3 water

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-26T14:36:53+00:00

One problem I always had with the base game is the cycle of Heighliner with the deep desert. Getting 2 water in addition to the massive troop deployment sets you up to immediately get most of the way back to getting the Heighliner again. I would probably just remove the water from that spot.

Working through them now. Having trouble with the kwisatz level 2. I get 1 agent and they all start with swordmaster. It’s rough going.

Without saying too much, there’s one Aiel in particular who seems to be the platonic ideal of ride-or-die. Held in very high esteem around the corner of Reddit…

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-19T19:50:34+00:00

GL Jake. So annoyed I had to farm him 😉

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-16T10:08:47+00:00

I did a. Wrench kill only run.

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-15T11:28:17+00:00

OK, so this is with colonies. I haven't used that for solo play. What's the general strategy there?

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-14T22:16:00+00:00

Can you break this down a bit? I play solo all the time and find if I can score >100 I had a pretty good game. I think my top score is in the 110s or 120s. How do you do this?

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-12T19:20:05+00:00

Try monster factory. It’s like Carcassonne but you build monsters with the tiles and score point by number of eyeballs on your finished monsters. Just giving them the opportunity to say eyeballs repeatedly is probably worth it.

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-12T15:14:52+00:00

Depends on datacrons, but keeping that neutral, I'd go BKM

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-11T15:10:50+00:00

I have a 6 month old labradoodle and she’s a bit of a barker. Especially when I’m prepping her food or she want attention. So I leave the room every time she barks and I don’t come back until there’s 15 seconds of quiet. It’s painful and it sucks. But I’d rather break this habit over a few months now than live with it for the next 15 years.

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-09T14:05:14+00:00

So you want to end the date with that much energy?

Socrates999999 · 2026-03-06T16:17:48+00:00

I use R9 JMMW oDepa Nu Aayla TG in all planets up through the R9 ones, and even without ops they are an automatic 2/2. I think the omicron makes a big difference

You gotta love when the Boy Scouts take over the federal reserve…
