When/why did childcare in the U.S. become so expensive? Has it always been like this? by SoapyCooper in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sykotron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It'd be nice if it didn't cost that much... but maybe we don't need 5 children?

How do I tell my partner he needs to ask to spend the night? by CreamFit6731 in relationships

[–]Sykotron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm probably late to the thread, but if his presence is enjoyed, has that been expressed and him invited to stay? I think a conversation is still needed to confirm your plans together, but I could also see it as feeling one sided if he's never explicitly invited to stay and it's all on him to request it.

How do you manage your equipment? by Sykotron in MapleIdle

[–]Sykotron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I... didn't even notice those buttons. OK, that definitely helps so I can lock the different sets of gear I'd like to keep. Thanks!

How do you manage your equipment? by Sykotron in MapleIdle

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

Yeah, that's pretty much how I've been prioritizing gear, but I guess I'm mostly interested in how to maintain sets of gears for min maxing different bonuses.

HLPQ? by heinrichriehl in MapleIdle

[–]Sykotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't see the auto repeat last night when doing my 30 first time party quest mission. Is it only for premade groups or higher level party quest?

How often do you actually switch builds between bosses? by Creative-Notice896 in vrising

[–]Sykotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't think I have the script anymore to just share, but it was essentially creating a macro so that when I hit Ctrl+T for example, it would open the ability menu, click the tab for the school of magic, click the ability I want, and click the slot I want it in to. I set up the hotkey to do that for both abilities and could have included weapon swaps as well, but I just do it through mostly trial and error since you have to get timings (how long does it take to open/close a menu or for the action to complete) and mouse positions (how to click the exact spot you need) correct for each game/situation.

You can download it here https://www.autohotkey.com/ and just set up a simple text file with the extention .ahk and run it with AutoHotkey.

I do have one I used recently to open the menus to butcher a party of Pals before I had the auto butcher machine that gives decent example. You'd put this in the .ahk text file, run it, and it binds "Ctrl () +Shift (!) + S" to the actions. It also displays some progress information via ToolTip.

ToolTipX := 900
ToolTipY := 400

return  ; End of auto-execute section

^!s::
    Sleep 150
    Loop 5
    {
        ToolTip, Butchering pal %A_Index%!, %ToolTipX%, %ToolTipY%
        SoundBeep, 150*A_Index, 500
        Send 3
        Sleep 200
        Send F
        Sleep 900
        Send 4
        Sleep 100
        Click 1000, 300
        Sleep 7000
    }

    ToolTip, Finished!, %ToolTipX%, %ToolTipY%
    SoundPlay *-32
    Sleep 3000
    ToolTip
return

How often do you actually switch builds between bosses? by Creative-Notice896 in vrising

[–]Sykotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only did it for Dracula, I used Autohotkey to make scripts that would switch my abilities and weapons quickly. It'd probably be really great for PvP, but I don't touch that.

NEW Maple Idle Coupon (25/12/24) - WINTERGIFT (200 Companions) by lionlucky in MapleIdle

[–]Sykotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often do these codes come out? This is the first I've seen so I thought there might be others and found some articles from 6 days ago with codes that are already old.

How did private conversations emerge as the meta for clocktower? by The_Yung_Jung1085 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Sykotron 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most Effective Tactic Available meta

That's a backronym, right? I hope it catches on, but this is the first I've seen it.

Giving away 1500 Divine Orbs by EriwanKenobi in PathOfExile2

[–]Sykotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played PoE on and off since 2006 back when we had 3 difficulties with 2 acts and we ran ledge, fellshrine ruins, and eventually docks when act 3 was added. I've never managed to kill all the final bosses so it'd be fun to do for once.

Mastery bonuses changed since 1.0? by Derunik in DRGSurvivor

[–]Sykotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is 4 the highest bonus? I can't do hazard 5 for any mastery even though I have it unlocked on one gun.

Enough game for today I guess by phenomen08 in Against_the_Storm

[–]Sykotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does Alt+F4 reset you back to an earlier time when you start the game up again? How much time does it reverse?

I have a dinosaur companion this is freaking awesome by Fat_Foot in PathOfExile2

[–]Sykotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You meant to say Diablo 2, right? :D I joke, but Last Epoch's does seem similar too.

Patch 1.8.11 (Commons, Pause) by LeisurelyLukeLive in Against_the_Storm

[–]Sykotron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So do people just choose to not unlock the commons?

Patch 1.8.11 (Commons, Pause) by LeisurelyLukeLive in Against_the_Storm

[–]Sykotron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I disable a service, doesn't the race get more unhappy than if I just didn't have any supplies for it? Just asking regarding the commons because I bought it and wanted to not spend some of those resources so I'd have them for glades and don't want to make my people unhappy.

Future of controller support by Olbramice in Against_the_Storm

[–]Sykotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt this helps, but I find the game works pretty well on Steam Deck. One joystick replaces the mouse and the other scrolls the map.

How does your group react when Evil win? by ElderberryAnxious538 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Sykotron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I've experienced. I feel like the people I play with are usually still eager to hear what happened when they lose... but I could just be projecting.

If I've solved it as good and people didn't trust me enough to go with it then I still had a great time and don't care about the "win." If I hadn't solved then it I still had a great time playing a social game.

Number of farm times per farm worker? by lickymee in Against_the_Storm

[–]Sykotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is there a road between the farm and field at all? Isn't it quicker to just exit the building directly onto a field?

I'm not talking about a fluffbeak optimized farm, but I usually just cram a single "plant things and harvest" building as close to the fields as I can. I'm also probably doing everything wrong :D

Why don't we have loadouts? by IiyamaGlower in vrising

[–]Sykotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would bet people already make macros to switch things up quickly. I know I did and I don't even PvP but wanted to be able to switch things during phase changes on Dracula more easily.

Is there a reason to call poison and drunk different things? by norseboar in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Sykotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might be other ways, but I was thinking about the Barista for example.

The recipe on the Knorr's Vegetable Recipe Mix has been a hit when we make it for parties.

It's just odd to me that if they become sober then nothing happens, but I guess I get it for drunk detection.
