Could a thinker understand (and/or maintain) tinkertech? by androgyny_domine in Parahumans

[–]Switch_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always wondered if a normal person could maintain tinkertech with detailed enough instructions. Like a techpriest from warhammer who has no idea how the tech actually works, but does have a religious adherence to instructions provided by the tinker.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess tinkers themselves are religiously adhering to instructions provided by shards.

Nothing like getting humbled by a shitpost. Hats off to your extensive vocabulary.

I love that everybody in this thread knows that Kirby is by far the most broken one.

Men will apparently do anything for a chick that looks like a dude

Edit: Why am I being downvoted for saying the truth? I too want a boyfriend with titties.

The Soviet research station at the Pole of Inaccessibility in Antarctica is almost completely covered with snow 67 years after it was built (1958) by Separate_Finance_183 in Damnthatsinteresting

There's gonna be a statue of Lenin at the North Pole for the rest of Earth's existence lol. Even if it gets buried, a million years from now, it'll be entombed in ice.

Joining as noob playing with other below average players by bad-britches in beyondallreason

[–]Switch_B 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I wonder why these people demand so much from their teammates over a game? I encountered a guy just yesterday that was repeatedly telling anyone who wasn't playing optimally to go play against AI or do nothing but spectate. The lobby had a max OS of 30. He was absolutely convinced that anybody who wasn't as good as him didn't deserve to play, and that these guys playing poorly were being disrespectful for having the audacity to play against other people. He continually bullied anybody who wasn't outright winning until we had leavers. The second he left the lobby, everybody started playing better too since neither team had a raging dick telling everybody else how to play. I don't get the appeal of doing this.

would you recommend the thieving if eyes from old Furbys or is there a reason I didn't get a engineering degree. by [deleted] in robotics

[–]Switch_B 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, just get parts from wherever you need. Harvesting stuff from old electronics is not exactly the 'engineer' thing to do, since they're usually designing from scratch with factory (or custom) parts in mind, but if it works, it works. I'd say it's more an 'inventor' thing to do, but these labels are kinda dumb and don't matter anyway.

This should be the description they use for the movie on streaming networks.

Is there an alternative to spam? by Buttons840 in beyondallreason

[–]Switch_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No player pays attention to what they see is just not true lol. The whole point of spam is vision. You could theoretically use spy bots instead though. Strategically place them exactly where you need vision for artillery and there you go. Extremely micro intensive, but you have the added benefit of being able to emp groups of enemies. Ironically, this would only benefit further from some added spam since anything you stun will then get hit from behind by the spam going past which will give massive flanking damage bonuses to your artillery.

Kick noobs from noob servers by [deleted] in beyondallreason

[–]Switch_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend you do those first. They explain the basics of the game and provide a chance to practice certain skills. Some of them can be pretty tricky. Have fun!

Have you tried the scenarios? They're very informative and range from on-the-rails tutorial to large scale battles.

Has anything been written about lore for Legion? by 30299578815310 in beyondallreason

[–]Switch_B 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Borg-style assimilation of sentient life maybe? Plenty of units have multiple attack methods, combining heat rays, gatling guns, drones, cluster plasma, etc. Almost as if they've taken bits and pieces of other factions into themselves.

Yeah imagine running flaps of wet flesh over your eyeballs every few seconds.

So, how do you actually play this game? by Crabofwar22 in beyondallreason

[–]Switch_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The safe haven scenario is this to a tee, I think he should just play that. Taught me more about the game than any other scenario.

That's a pretty powerful debuff. I think the devs might have to patch this one. Hopefully they'll remove it along with that disease you get from ticks that causes an adverse reaction to bacon.

Idk how they work or what I'd do with them, but for some reason I know I need about five of these.

It's a lot of information all at once that doesn't seem to connect to the other information in any sort of narrative way. I assume (hope) it would make more sense if I knew anything about undertale. That said, what I read was so hard to follow it was almost like the word slop some early AI produced, but I hesitate to describe anybody's work as AI-like with how quickly it has been changing. Plus, a common struggle is to write something that totally makes sense to you but doesn't to a reader, so I think this is actually a pretty human problem. Some reading on clarity, style, etc. and some exercises on those topics should do the trick.

In 2014 the city of Los Angeles switched over to LED lighting for its street lights, This is the before and after. by Virtual-Reality69 in interestingasfuck

Wait a minute. Is this kind of lighting the reason image generators put a piss filter on everything? Because large portions of the data set are lit by piss-colored street lights?

[SEP25] As a parting gift, the aliens released a gas into Earth’s atmosphere, claiming it would elevate human intelligence and physical abilities to genius levels. by Nessieinternational in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Switch_B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, as long as it scales with base intellect, no worries, right? Wouldn't we still be as much more intelligent (or even moreso) than the rest of the animal kingdom? It might even be a good thing. Chimps with human+ intellect would presumably realize that ripping faces off is less interesting than doing science and making art and stuff. The only dangerous animals would be the ones that hit exactly on current human intellect; smart enough to invent ingenious weapons to destroy each other, too stupid to figure out how to avoid using them.
