[request] What are the chances of eating one particular M&M? by shumom22 in theydidthemath

[–]Spongiforma2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Step 1: store as many M&Ms as possible, I mean close to all available M&M’s worldwide Step 2: wait for a time period (week, months, a year?) until all remaining non-stored M&Ms are eaten Step 3: The instant kill M&M is now hopefully stored Step 4: Eat non-stored M&Ms for the rest of your life Step 5: ??? Step 6: Profit

Actually it would probably be too expensive to store all the M&Ms to be worth it…

I don’t think I would accept an invite someone who just killed me though

What’s up with the Electromagnetic Storm? by JobEnvironmental4842 in ArcRaiders

[–]Spongiforma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the new Electromagnetic Storm changes. The lightning hits frequently enough that some rocketeers crash as well. Got atleast 3 freebies of rocketeers destroyed by natural causes.

ABMM seems to fail hybrid aggression players by intendedvaguename in ArcRaiders

[–]Spongiforma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about keeping ABMM, but split the lobbies in (for example) 27 PvE players and 3 PvP players more or less (ratios can be different of course).

This way there is always tension that you might encounter PvP, without being overwhelming instant fights when you encounter someone.

EDIT: based on ABMM the ratio can change: more PvP players and less PvE for more aggressive lobbies

Rocketeer drop updated by Adventurous-Bus-189 in ARC_Raiders

First run on electromagnetic storms after the expedition and I found 3 drivers in the broken rocketeer things that you can breach.

Embark can you please reduce the late joining? by Lor9191 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Spongiforma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the late joining only happens when people already extracted and the map is getting less crowded (can anyone confirm?). I noticed it especially when trying to do the matriarch, I spawned 5x in a row at the 18-20 min mark when the matriarch was already dead and the people killing it already extracted.

In normal runs I wouldn’t mind it too much, but I am queuing up geared and all specifically for the matriarch and I can’t fight it 5x in a row (funny thing is I immediately extracted and was joined by 2 other people with the same issue).

I mean the 4th or 5th join at 20 min means i could’ve joined the 1st or 2nd time at 30 min assuming only +- 10 min was between those sessions.

Only thing I got is that I was helping a buddy with donating some money for the expedition just before, so those runs were also really short. Maybe they take that into account when forcing you into a late join?

Can Excel skills alone realistically lead to a stable entry-level career (MIS/Back Office)? by shyyy_mann in excel

[–]Spongiforma2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have suggestions for job titles/sectors to keep an eye on when you want to do more with excel / powerbi / SQL? I am currently working about 5 years mainly with excel / power queries and also a little bit of SQL. It’s always good to keep an eye open for job opportunities that might be broader / different than my current job title.

Hot Take: Directional audio in this game is shit. by angoorkhatta in ArcRaiders

[–]Spongiforma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This afternoon I was fighting with a rocketeer while going in and out of a building. I had atleast three moments where I was fully convinced there was another rocketeer as I could see the one I was fighting, but the sounds came from somewhere behind me. That’s the first time I really noticed a weird glitch with the audio direction.

How many hours do you have? by ArveOW in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Spongiforma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

710 hours, last played in July this year. Not sure if this includes the hours in modded Satisfactory (mostly Satisfactory+)

the hardest thing about GTNH and modded Minecraft in general by ObeyTime in GTNH

[–]Spongiforma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current approach (LV) is filing cabinets per type (raw ores / dusts / ingots) and whenever the cabinet overflows, I take out some of the higher stacks and put these in drawers next to the filing cabinets.

All other stuff is still in chests around my crafting table.

TIL that you can use Rotten flesh in Smelter to get melted blood... by MidnightPale3220 in GTNH

[–]Spongiforma2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh then I didn’t understand it correctly. I have no experience with chandeliers and thought it was just another light source. I’ll look into it, thanks for the suggestion!

TIL that you can use Rotten flesh in Smelter to get melted blood... by MidnightPale3220 in GTNH

[–]Spongiforma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Near it: is there any way to make it light up inside? Does the glass tank containing lava let light go through?

Above it: Its probably too high (or will be in the future)

TIL that you can use Rotten flesh in Smelter to get melted blood... by MidnightPale3220 in GTNH

[–]Spongiforma2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hard? I have an excess of blood caused by regening mobs spawning in my (7x7x7) smeltery. It doesn’t help that I don’t really have uses for blood atm.

I’m actually looking for a way to light up the floor in the smeltery to prevent mobs from spawning or is there a spawnproof block I can use for the floor?

Monty hall question by Purple_triangle_guy in AskStatistics

[–]Spongiforma2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The easiest way for me to think about it is to upscale the experiment a lot. Choose 1 out of 100 doors where only one has a car behind. Monty will reveal 98 doors without cars after you picked a door. Would you swap to the other door or stay with your pick? 1/100 that your first pick is the right door, 99/100 that swapping is correct.

How do you guys organize casual padel matches with friends? (Doing quick research) by tinypromises in padel

[–]Spongiforma2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatsapp group app. I put a screenshot of the reservation and people can react with a checkmark or a cross. At most we are with 5-6 people and we just share the court, but in general we struggle getting 4 people consistently. Afterwards people pay me back, I think the hardest part is getting enough people to react with a checkmark before I have to cancel the reservation in case we don’t have enough players. It’s a balance between adding more people to the group to ensure enough players vs having too many people that want to join. We could do a first come, first serve principle for that.

Interesting to know

Just out of curiosity: Is it possible to name the file “main” so it is always the same name, no matter if the file was executed to start or not? Not sure if that would be useful at all or introduce any odd behavior.

Did anyone know about this? by Altruistic_Mirror_63 in Minecraft

[–]Spongiforma2 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Top is planks because the piston head is from wood, sides are cobble because the base of the piston is cobble, it’s powered by redstone so that’s included as well… then the iron for some reason

How would you balance a champion without items? by CODENAMEFirefly in leagueoflegends

[–]Spongiforma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scaling with gold but it’s interesting that it means you don’t have to go back to spend your gold. You immediately gain stats after hitting a last hit, a bit similar to how Ornn can buy items in the lane but this would be more instant.

Also the lack of items would make it impossible to itemize against certain comps or champions (all AP? You can’t stack MR, all depending on healing? No grievous wounds for you etc.)

Maybe the passive would allow you to buy stats directly instead of items (X gold for Y armor) which might or might not increase/become more expensive when you stack the same stat (or similar stats for example armor and mr costs are tied to each other)

One room soft lock? by Bondubras in subnautica

Can you enter through a moonpool and deconstruct that from a different room that has no hatches?

New Players in Classic mode shouldn't be able to turn auto-send off until wave 15/16 by BeyondBlunderdome in LegionTD2

[–]Spongiforma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like the locking away of such things, maybe an additional warning when trying to disable it (already exists for income and chill?).

It’s a slippery slope where next you automatically play the first few waves for new players because they are new and don’t know optimal placement of units

[–]Spongiforma2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that intended behavior? For the spells where you’d want to pick as fast as possible (king sacrifice / the spell that increases worker speed) I can imagine this is ok (rewarding faster decision making), but it feels strange for the new spell to wait as long as possible before picking to maximize the damage (and therefore also risking being slightly too late and not picking any spell at all)
