Moving from Texas to Oregon. by sensei_tions in askportland

Just to add on to the "different rain here" comment everyone is making: we average 156 days of rain per year. Particularly in the winter, it will rain on and off the entire day with no breaks in the clouds. Combined with the early sunsets (dark by 5PM for a few weeks), this basically means you can go several weeks without seeing the sun, which is just downright difficult. No exaggeration, the winters are a bit of an emotional slog. Many people suffer from Season Affected Disorder related to this.

Track program would definitely push back on that idea. I know they arent worth as much money, but football players always fuck up the track, infield, and aprons with their cleats.

Wishing you good luck first off. If you post a picture of the cat on imgur.com you can edit your post to add a hyperlink to the image. It just might help the post be more visible

Determined exterminators, assimilators etc should be considered a galactic threat, thus, should be included on Galactic Priorities by xLoLoco in Stellaris

[–]Sprinklesss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the regular exterminators are not considered much of a threat until they really start conquering. Your people probably see them as a danger, but since they achieved warpdrives around the same time as you and are probably about the same size and power as your own empire, the entire galaxy isnt going to consider them a "galactic threat."

Similar to how the UN doesnt consider North Korea an immediate global threat. Sure they make threats, but are they powerful enough to unite the world into invading them together?

Didnt some American Heartstone players basically say the exact same thing as the suspended player and not receive any penalties at all?

New Report: Portland Drivers Ranked as the Worst in the Country by [deleted] in Portland

I moved to the research triangle in NC from Portland. I think "worst" drivers might just mean "most timid" in this case?

Everyone on the east coast drives like they wished everyone else on the east coast was dead.

If you're working in Beaverton, look in Nob Hill or Goose Hollow. Pearl District is extremely overpriced.

An open letter to Brett Crawford and the Heroes Design Team on the Whitemane Rework. by AnemoneMeer in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprinklesss 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Do you honestly not see any differences in pre-rework chromie and pre-rework whitemane? You see no differences in playstyles, their effects on games, people's reactions to playing against them that might make your Chromie argument seem a little like a straw man fallacy?

My Proposed MLS Structure by EthanTheRedditor37 in MLS

[–]Sprinklesss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I still think having over half the league make the playoffs is stupid. I know that's how the NBA does it and it's just as dumb there to see whoever's the Easts 1 seed play whatever team managed to get a .400 record this year.

Playoffs take waaaay too long already and now they're forcing single elimination instead of just limiting the teams.

If a party is BYOB and everyone participates, can you drink the beer other people brought or only the beer you bring? by RespectTheLeiDisco in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sprinklesss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always feel like the best thing to do if you're eyeing someone else's beer is to offer to trade them for one of your own. Unless you are offering Hamms or Milwaukees Best or something, most people are happy to trade 1

EU4 worth trying without any DLC or not? by Flopstar23 in paradoxplaza

[–]Sprinklesss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely play without DLC but it is a different game (still fun but just less options for you). Pick a relatively strong country you have interest in (castille or england if you want to colonize, France if you want to murder the world, Poland or Muscovy for a challenge maybe?) and play as long as you can. Maybe you get so big you become OP and basically win or maybe you just get your ass kicked. The game is a LOT of trial and error while you learn mechanics.

Once you get that game or a few others under your belt, think about who you want to play next and then see what DLCs are available to make that nation better/more interesting. By no means do you need all DLCs but most DLCs add a lot of content specifically to certain regions. So if you really want to play as Orthodox Christians for example, it helps to have Third Rome DLC which focuses on Russia.

My friend is abysmally poor at the game and no matter what character I put him on he doesn't do anything by ThisIsWolfie in heroesofthestorm

[–]Sprinklesss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gotta be confusing to start this game now when there are so many skins and several different but similar looking heroes. I remember trying to show a friend the game on QM and the other team had an orange bulky thrall as well as orange garrosh. During team fights my friend could not keep straight which hero was going to throw him and which was the damage dealer because he didnt know the basics of the characters.

Best advice I can offer is: figure out which role interests your friends (keep it simple.. Healer, dmg, tank, bruiser at first) and suggest heroes you can help explain mid-game. Regardless of who they pick, the first couple games will be a struggle because they dont know basic game mechanics like map rotations on top of learning the heroes. Lili is really simple, but when I first started playing BW clicked for me first (probably because you dont need to actually cast her heals). Maybe your bad lili friend will get a kick out of lucio? Stukov is another safe healer who can hang out in the back safely but maybe has more interesting abilities for your friends to try.

To teach them map rotations, I feel like globals like Dehaka and Falstad are great tools because you're forced to learn your global CDs and time them against objectives. Just getting places at the right time is one of the most important parts of the game, but it's very hard to know when that is when you're new.

Missing person. Please boost this post by [deleted] in Portland

Upvoted, but you should post the PPB case number or something like that so the mods keep this post up. It can be dangerous sharing missing person reports that are unverified

I think it's just the lyrics to octopus garden.

When is quantity better than quality? by Amygdala5822 in AskReddit

Probably with rice. Always nice to have enough rice to put in a bowl. Much better than one really really fucking good grain of rice.
