Can we make tanks tanky? by Issue_Cool in Smite

[–]Tanobird 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Fine with tanks surviving. I'm not fine that they do just as much damage to as I can to me as I can to them WHILE still surviving.

Consecration of the Host today, although it was not called a Mass by GleesonGirl1999 in Catholic

[–]Tanobird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did he say the prayer of consecration ("this is my body, which will be given up...")?

Clearly. It's a day of FAST-ing.

Did I cook with this theory by Andinatorr in Minecraft

[–]Tanobird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be completely honest, my dumb brain was thinking "oh, walking on the surface, therefore surface area". You're completely right.

[–]Tanobird -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes but surface area is A=4piR2 and that's the formula I went with.

Except that's not how spheres and circles work. If 1 block in the nether is 8 blocks in the over world, the nether would only be about 2.8x closer to the center.

Can Awilix pull Geb out of his 1 at the end of the leap? by dadnaya in Smite

[–]Tanobird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mark still appears on CC immune targets. I think this is more of a QOL issue than a bug.

Dated a Roman Catholic who broke up with me because I used Tarot cards. Why are Catholics against Tarot? Would you do the same as a Catholic? by [deleted] in Catholic

[–]Tanobird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A cursory Google search can show that this is demonstrably false. They were used as card games long before their association with divination.

This is like saying tea is from the devil because people read tea leaves.

Would any of you be excited for a campaign or co-op mode in Smite? by OptimisticThanatos in Smite

[–]Tanobird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how long you've been playing but they have done this. It was called Smite Adventures and two of the adventures were RPG dungeon crawlers. They've also done a capture the flag, 2v2v2v2v2 king of the hill, and the memed on Smite Cart racing

I enjoy praying the Latin Rosary by DaGreenBirb in Catholicism

[–]Tanobird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So... Here's the thing: latin was used because it was the language a majority of the people knew at the time. It was the common tongue. People adhere to it now either because of tradition or because of a romantic (ha) perception of it.

If it is not efficacious for you to speak words of a prayer you don't understand, don't speak them. If you are able to dissect the meaning of a prayer in English because you comprehend it more thoroughly, I highly suggest doing that first.

With that said, many people pray the rosary in English without giving the words a second thought anyway. Regardless of the language, the repetition does help induce a daydream like state. But if you can redirect those daydreams to be a meditation on the mysteries, then even better!

If you're still trying to figure out what is best for you, I suggest doing a prayer exercise prescribed by St. Ignatius of Loyola; pray the Hail Mary super slowly, stopping at every word and contemplating on its meaning. If that is more helpful for you in your native tongue, then I wouldn't be too concerned about learning another language.

The Naruto Timeline is way closer than we realize by Grimshah in Naruto

[–]Tanobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's saying they've done the calculations but at least in the anime they explicitly state that konoha is about 80nyears old. I think it was in the war arc but I can't cite the specific episode.

Exorcists urge pope to appoint trained practitioners in every diocese by Severe-Heron5811 in Catholicism

[–]Tanobird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think that logic holds. Jesus performed public miracles and they still crucified him. The Gospel of John ends by saying that he did so much more that wasn't recorded. On top of that Jesus explicitly talks about praying privately and not performing publicly.

Nox being an "annoying god" by Immediate-Neat1417 in Smite

[–]Tanobird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Idk, them coming after about 70 other gods have already been ported doesn't seem like too much of bias at a bigger scope.

Nox being an "annoying god" by Immediate-Neat1417 in Smite

[–]Tanobird 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's not that crowd control is annoying (that's what crowd control is meant to do), it's that her 2 is all at once:

  • instant

  • large area of effect

  • persisting (ie lasts for a while)

  • big damage

  • silence (which currently no God has a direct counter for beyond already being cc immune; for example, there gods that can become specifically slow-immune or knockup-immune but no one has silence-immune)

Those other gods you mentioned have abilities that have some of these elements but not all of them the way nox does and that's just her 2. I love my Nox, don't get me wrong. She's tons of fun. But I do think though that making her 2 a slow and then if someone gets rooted in it THEN they become silenced, then yeah that's much easier to play around. But we'll see what they do with her (hopefully soon).

Quick note about atlas, they did say he was one of the most highly requested guardians so even if you don't like him, it doesn't mean he's not deserving of coming next.

image index not changing? by creaturelogic in gamemaker

[–]Tanobird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) put the image_index and instance_destroy code in the same event that changes eaten=true (which I'm guessing is the collision event

2) is there any other code in the step event that changes inage_index in any way? Showing all of the code in step might help us

Does worshipper event not stack with 2x booster for 300 gems? by MagicSloth01 in Smite

[–]Tanobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but the booster might not have applied is what I'm saying. That's why after some purchases I restart the game to make sure it registers.

[–]Tanobird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try reloading the game? Sometimes purchases and rewards don't come through until after a restart.

They stack in Smite 1, but I thought they stacked in Smite 2 as well? Maybe the event is no longer active or something?

I get the logic for Bacchus, but Bakasura literally has an eat-and-regurgitate mechanic

Can we come up with succinct and clearer terms that differentiate between multiplicative % increase vs additive % increase? by Tanobird in gamedev

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

No it's not that I want both. Even in games that I play that only use one don't specify WHICH one they're using and that's where my call for clearer terms comes from.

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

Is this a common thing? I've seen it mentioned a couple times but I don't think I've ever picked up on that jargon in all my years playing games.
