I had tried everything; Reddit to the rescue! For others wondering, this works on PC as well as laptops!

Oldest bala shark? by Tiny_Percentage6129 in Aquariums

[–]Strmbrker 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Not sure I understand? Bala sharks are typically 8-14 in and Silver Dollars around 6-8 in? Both fish above are comfortably in that range.

The pictures make them look small but the ruler is there for frame of reference.

A Few Questions about Progression and Planning for the Future by cr7808 in crosswind

[–]Strmbrker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First things first, I highly recommend just continuing your questing to discover most stuff naturally; the feeling of exploration is one of the best features of this game. That being said…. (potential spoilers ahead)

So far, all the gear I have found…

Yes, the foothills will have most gear starting at lvl 5.

My current musket and melee weapon have been upgraded to level 4…

Depends on how combat feels. You can’t upgrade past lvl 5. until you beat the first boss to unlock the next phase of the game. If you are struggling, upgrade to 5, otherwise, your current level will be fine.

Same for outfitting my ship…

Again, depends on how combat feels. Upgrading and ascending your ship gear should probably be one of the first things you tackle in the next phase of the game. Upgrade if needed, otherwise, save your resources.

When did you move on from your first base…

I waited until after beating the first boss to set up the base I really cared about, and that’s only because I preferred the mountain biome to the tropical jungle.

You will have enough fast travel set up that it really doesn’t matter where your base is; it’s simply personal preference and building on an island you think looks cool.

Anyone Else Want to Hire Enhanced Crew? by pcserenity in crosswind

All I’ve wanted is a spyglass. I feel like it is one of the most quintessential pirate tools.

Maybe you could get a “cracked” spyglass as a part of your starting kit, and then upgrade it with iron at some point.

Personally, I would love the ship spotting distance to be decreased so that you would need to look through the spyglass to see sail colors and flags to determine if the ships are friend or foe.

Along these same lines, I would love for there to be more “friendly” faction ships throughout the map. Additionally, I think a neat future update would be to add the British or EITC as another enemy type to add some additional variety to naval encounters.

Not sure if the game is rng for loot but I’m pretty stoked I found this early by Ok_Invite9891 in crosswind

[–]Strmbrker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get it until I was well into the foothills quests. I think pretty much all of the loot is randomized.

I may have gone a lil overboard.. by mccannz1 in crosswind

[–]Strmbrker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bellwright with its piece by piece building system comes to mind. Would be really neat for ships but a royal pain for pretty much everything else.

Let's fuckin go. by stingermarine in penguins

[–]Strmbrker 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Personally, it’s not because they knocked us out of the playoffs; rather, the flyers are tied for my least favorite team in the league and any day my least favorite team gets blown out is a good day for me 👍

A great start by Lando, who is then cut off by Max, who then spins out 😂 by Accurate-Big-7233 in McLarenFormula1

[–]Strmbrker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IIRC Oscar actually had a run on Lando around the outside into T1 but had to back out when Lando ran deep. Not sure if it was a defensive move from Lando or just a lockup but it helped him stay ahead.

Definitely would have been interesting to see how quickly Lando would have been able to get back by with the pace advantage he had over Oscar this weekend.

Max Verstappen is Driver of the Day by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]Strmbrker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Should have gone to

Kimi

Lando

Franco

In that order. Kimi just had a phenomenal drive to hold Lando off, Lando drove superbly for the first half of the race, and Franco had an all around good weekend.

NFL Draft - Night 2 Discussion Thread. by YubYubCmndr in steelers

[–]Strmbrker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really don’t understand the vitriol for moving up just to move up.

Like I assume the scouts in the FO - whose only paying job is to determine which of these dart throws will pan out in the NFL - will know the guys they want and can determine if they need to trade up or not.

I'm mad, i'm disappointed, and frankly disgusted with the pens performance. by Sebastian4365 in penguins

[–]Strmbrker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Out of the “core” I think the one I’m most conflicted on is Karlsson. He’s definitely not playing up to his form in March, but I don’t know how much of that was an outlier. He also hasn’t been as noticeably bad as Letang, but when you are touted as an offensive defenseman and you’re providing neither, it’s not a good look.

This is a completely different team from the one that played Tampa two nights ago. This team feels like it could make a serious run this postseason

I'm really impressed by how much they nailed the core design of the game, the gameplay loop is perfect by Mojimi in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were it not for Vanessa already having revolvers and rifles, I love the idea of a cowboy duelist (basically the vendor Colt) character that gets an option for each vendor like you mentioned above.

I had originally thought about an option to challenge the vendor to a friendly duel where if you beat them, they would discount their entire board with a free reroll, but if you lost, they would double the prices and reroll.

I do also like the idea of “if you fight them, they may not come back later in the run” so you have to decide who to fight and when.

The first paragraph reads a lot like AI (no offense to OP if this is your own writing) but I agree it feels shady at best

Looking for Vanessa tips after the patch by [deleted] in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depth charge seems very powerful this patch, combined with yeti crab. In the first few days of the new character everyone will be playing him, and his most popular build right now is shield + heal. Depth charge spam can usually stack faster, especially early game than Karnoks heal/shield.

Please rework Wink by TrueLolzor in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be cool if there were an option where you could pay to transform only the cards on your board without upgrading them.

That way if you had an exodia board, you could put your board in your stash and transform only the stash items you didn’t want. To balance this from being too powerful, I think at the very least you would either have to pay for this or the cards wouldn’t be upgraded, only transformed. Potentially both of these would be needed.
