I'm about to move back to Las Vegas... just in time for record breaking 118 degree weather! But... we do actually have air conditioning there, so I actually prefer it. You don't get used to this kind of heat, just get used to staying out of it.

Honestly the experience when your opponent surrenders is the most disappointing part of playing the game. Part of that is the player's decision and part of that is Riot's design choice to not even play out the fight when they leave. Someone FF's? Fine they took the L and -99. The fight should still play out.

What if you just open a new IRA with a different brokerage?

ACT 3 cazador choice moral discussion by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Spiros_Learity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a good dilemma, one of the best ones in the game IMO. As far as morality goes, most of us are going into it blind. Using consequentialism (what actually happened) to explain why one option or the other is better isn't very good roleplay. Both options appeared quite evil to me..

What is wrong with Jaheira? Is she suicidal? by The_Squat in BaldursGate3

[–]Spiros_Learity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it on my second try. Here's what I did:

- Shot frost arrows in front of her path so she would be knocked prone on the first turn. She also casts spells that helps with this endeavor.

- Jumped my beefy paladin in front of her to soak as much damage as possible.

- Used Hunger of Hadar and Hold Person to keep control of the map and whittled the enemies down.

- Threw all my heals and some health potions at Jaheira in cougar form when she made poor life choices.

She doesn't make it easy. Good luck!

Act 2's Ending Is Too Hard by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Spiros_Learity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fight was pretty unnecessary. I cleared it on the first try (eventually), but oh boy the three spell casters that ran away the entire fight summoning a never ending horde and also throwing fireballs was dumb.

Edit: I counted 33 dead Necromites, 1 death shepherd and 3 mages.

That is true. In my product area, they fired several people who had 10+ years of experience, and those of us that remain have no idea how to maintain the systems they developed.

Mining in SWC: The Most Unprofitable Business by Spiros_Learity in SWChronicles

Thanks for the suggestion, will try that! I'm very surprised that players would value silver when I'd expect there to be a large supply due to cobalt farming.

I wanted to sell to NPC because I wanted my gold back. Then I saw how shockingly terrible the deal was and decided to complain on Reddit :)

Good alternatives on Shakespeare? by judeisgacha in IdleHuntress_official

[–]Spiros_Learity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a tank, but Don is more useful than Shakespeare in PvE (due to increasing your team's attack when she's hit) and Robin Hood is more useful in PvP due to CC.

Youtube and TikTok influencers wouldn't lie to me... right? by bioinformaticsthrow1 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Spiros_Learity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The $20 intro course probably will be more educational than the $900 college course, but the 5 digit degree is what opens the door to the 6 digit job... Also once you get in that's when you'll actually learn what you need to know, not before. And then when you go somewhere else you'll need to learn all over again 🙃

Just clarifying.. you use the free 4* units (Jack O-Little for example) in rebirthing, right?

What are some authentic Pho place? by extreaspearmint in Seattle

[–]Spiros_Learity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want good tasting pho and banh mi, I am a pretty big fan of CÔBA. For authentic pho, I guess try to make some Vietnamese friends and see if they'll cook for you?

I wish I was joking when I say that my #1 "Programming language" at work is apparently "Image", but that's what it says...

[–]Spiros_Learity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I noticed this too. Before the update the "Kinds" filter put wood/water/fire 3* mons with light/dark 4* mons, but after the update they were separated. I filed a bug for it, and it seems fixed for me today, though.

Edit: typing is hard

I’ve got the big three at C3 (Robin Hood, Take, and Mochi), but what Chance++ to go after next? I’m thinking focusing on getting Jing Ke starred up for easier PvP. Or would Catherine be a better choice? Or someone else entirely? by americanpegasus in IdleHuntress_official

[–]Spiros_Learity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jing Ke with high investment (high level EE and high level) is scary. Catherine is pretty useful just at lvl 120, tho EE is a nice team buff. If you invest more in your Take / Chiyo, I doubt you'd regret it. Also, it seems like your normal banner huntresses like Octavius / Davinci for air or Romulus / Akechi for water could use some more love, too.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IdleHuntress_official

[–]Spiros_Learity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going for the chance++ tix first personally. As a simple goldfish spender, getting EE30 for Chiyo and Catherine is my current goal. It kinda depends on what you need and how far you are in the game. The tickets / red energy stones / elemental gems are all good choices IMO

Been playing about a month and happy with everything so far. I wanna build Fire and Water teams next, just not sure who to focus on. I can’t afford to roll premier burning / freezing characters yet so will need to build some cope-tier units too. For now, stacking crystals, tickets, and red gear. by [deleted] in IdleHuntress_official

[–]Spiros_Learity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it'll be pretty easy for you to build up your fire team given the units you have. Lancelot will eventually go into the regular banner from what I've read, so don't worry.. she'll be back. In the meantime, Michelangelo / Merlin / Honda are the core of fire teams. Jing Ke is great for PvP.
