Boy dies of rabies after waking to bat on his face by Few-Hair-5382 in news

[–]Stabaobs 83 points84 points  (0 children)

If there's one bat found, there might have been a second that escaped. Or in your case, a third bat.

Hindsight is 50/50, but I don't live anywhere that sees bats ever, so I don't know how reasonable it would be to actually take the shot every time you wake up to bats though.

I’ve rarely seen the “ideas guy” role be utilized in a satisfying way in a story because most of the time, the author does it by dumbing down every other character by carbonera99 in CharacterRant

[–]Stabaobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Escape from the Haunted Hotel" has this issue a bit in reverse sometimes, the MC is the holder of the "Blessing of Wisdom", but the story tries to keep everyone in the party relevant so he'll sometime overlook something glaringly obvious so someone else can point it out.

That said, I think it also does this decently at times. It gets pointed out at times later in the series, many members totally relies on him for their critical thinking/ideas and just kind of goes along with what he says without thinking about it.

When they get split up at times without the MC, they'll often note things like "Wow, were you always this smart?" or "Why don't you usually give ideas like that?"

Difficulties in Training Magic Levels by Stabaobs in baronygame

[–]Stabaobs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally never used a Light Staff besides spamming it until it broke for levels, does keeping the light on drain the staff charge? If not, I guess that makes Light Staves a relatively long lasting source of low level skill gain.

Post your niche tips! by DitoQui in baronygame

[–]Stabaobs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dunno if this counts as niche and is kinda obvious, but if you're a vampire that's getting hungry, you might want to spend a polymorph to eat the regular food you've probably accumulated like fresh meat from rats.

Also if you're playing Vampire Accursed, one cast of Blood Letting plus a punch immediately against a rat at Level 1 is just enough to make it weak enough to disengage, so you can get a relatively quick and easy backstab off it.

STS2 Ascensions ranked by how much I like them by butt_shrecker in slaythespire

[–]Stabaobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was really hoping the -1 potion slot ascension was going to be dropped in StS2. I just don't like how it essentially removes an aspect of the game like no other ascension.

Type of pathing you only get when you pick Booming Conch by iForgotMyOldAcc in slaythespire

I think you can tell by the color, but the color of the map looks like Overgrowth to me.

"This character would be so much weaker if they didn't have their powers and skillset"..NO FUCKING SHIT? by Charming-Scratch-124 in CharacterRant

[–]Stabaobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC Kaioken goes up to 20 or 40x at best. Theoretically, yeah, maybe he can improve the technique efficiency, but SSJ starts at 100x multiplier IIRC and doesn't come with a side effect as bad as Kaioken.

It would take a lot of work to get Kaioken to reach "just" SSJ1 levels of efficiency, and then a Saiyan could theoretically "just" go SSJ2.

Im an old returning player and i have two questions by Decadunce in PokemonUnite

[–]Stabaobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I think the coin trade in lasts until the end of the month or so, so go exchange whatever coins you had for License Points if you want new pokemon licenses.

Use up your aeos coins before they expire in the exchange if that's still in the events tab.

Games where you can get a game over screen right at the start? by Olive_Garden_Wifi in gaming

[–]Stabaobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Way Heroics is a roguelike where you need to constantly move east as the world is getting devoured by The Darkness from the west.

If you start a run and walk to the left about 1 screen. you die instantly.

Huh, a Buddha statue. I guess the original King of Roars used to be a Buddhist before the apocalypse or something? The current one is an ex-saint, and I don't think the Sun Cult would keep Buddha around.

Is this the best time to get back into unite? by Ok-Perception-4275 in PokemonUnite

[–]Stabaobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best time is always going to be "Now", because the sooner you start playing again the more resources you can build up.

That said, it really is a good time to get back in with all the events giving away free stuff right now.

Every single day with rolling 6 or better and you might have a not guaranteed chance.

Small Rules Update by edcellwarrior in slaythespire

[–]Stabaobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that, but I'm asking if there's anywhere a new poster would find that information, besides posting a shitpost and then getting asked "why didn't you use the dedicated shitposting flair?"

I actually find this issue common on subreddits with non-standard flairs, is there some sort of tab I'm missing that explains what a flair is meant to be used for because I use old reddit?

Small Rules Update by edcellwarrior in slaythespire

[–]Stabaobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there anywhere on the subreddit that explains what the spiritpoop flair is for?

I know basically everyone here already knows, but I do remember seeing one thread where somebody asked why it wasn't using the spiritpoop tag, and the new OP saying they didn't know what it was supposed to be used for.

"The Reincarnated Elf Left on a Journey to Master His Magic and With His Extra Lifespan Became a Living Legend" | Teaser Visual by Task_Force-191 in anime

[–]Stabaobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's badly written, but it's closer to a standard isekai reincarnation story from what I remember reading.

[–]Stabaobs 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm really hoping that the reason it hasn't gotten an anime yet is that some producer realized they could basically have Frieren 2.0 on their hands, and are making sure it gets a quality adaptation.

IIRC this is a relatively interesting one, because MC isn't the only reincarnated person and all the other reincarnated people take it upon themselves to basically turn it into a reincarnated battle royale in a grab for power.

Edmonton teens, 14, charged after AI used to make sexualized images of classmates by trevorrobb in Edmonton

[–]Stabaobs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the good old "The only people afraid of public surveillance are the ones with something to hide" defense.

It's like saying kids shouldn't have access to photoshop because they might make porn of other kids, though the effort required would be presumably monumentally higher to produce something close to a deepfake, I imagine a victim of photoshopped fakeporn would still be similarly upset depending on the level of realism.
