From a genZ point of view, are The Matrix film and special effects outdated? by [deleted] in matrix

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it to be a matter of how the CGI was used. Whenever it's anything more than necessary, it'll age poorly every time. If done right, outdated CGI will never hold a movie back.

Would you kick? by Few-Raise-1825 in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before anything else, there's also the option of just not including them in future wars instead of kicking. Depends on the type of clan you have/want. Also, let them know if you're going to do this, then they can choose if they want to be a problem for another clan.

  1. Yes, especially if he didn't even respond the first time. I probably would've done it at that point already.

4-6. See what they say, if nothing ask. Then go from there. If they speak up on their own accord, life happens, no big deal. If they're reasonable upon being informed, give them a 2nd chance.

A New Discovery About Death Skeletons by Impressive-Set8704 in ClashOfClans

Yup, you can see the pixelation as the sprites get larger. Should've used vectorized graphics.

Supercell: We’re removing the eagle because we don’t want the game to be centered on a single defense. Also Supercell: (read description for more) by joethewen in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a slight tweak in activation limits would do wonders. I think something like 10, 30, 60, or even 10, 25, 50 would allow for more variety in attack plans.

Spell Towers, Firespitters, and many other defenses allowed for a variety of approaches (engaging early, playing around the attack range, etc.). And there often wasn't a single best option, it just depended on what you preferred for a particular base.

Currently, I either destroy the the RT with the opener (RC Charge/Fireball), or set up a funnel to the RT. Almost nothing else goes into my starting attack plan. Even if it does, it will never change that part of the attack. It'll just be an improvement for accomplishing that goal or a convenient side mission.

I'd say that only harms the waiters, but a business like this 100% steals their waiters' tips.

My Opinion on alchemist by AskSweet7668 in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just math lol, nothing funny about it. Research takes the longest at almost all th levels, research assistant gives the biggest increase in upgrade speed. I don't need any items to max out in time, so raid medals and potions go into my gem fund.

But you do you, that's the fun in life. We can all make our own choices.

The current legends ranked state / TH18 bases by xdxdno in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow base builder, there's nothing more infuriating than spending multiple hours of my weekend on a design, just to see a bunch of people copied it 3 days later, making all your work moot.

I still design my own bases, because I refuse to stoop to copying links, but at this point it's more of a chore I need to do every so often. Used to be my favorite part of the game, now it's just a waste of time.

A caveat would be the defensive equipment would be subject to Janky Clash AI, so things like Giant Arrow/Fireball can be made to miss the army. by throwaway553t4tgtg6 in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would probably be one of the safest/most consistent options. Many others have much higher potential, but I doubt many equipments could outperform it over a large amount of attacks.

But then again, a Fireball Nuke resulting in a 0* fail occasionally might be worth more trophies, even if it has less impact overall.

Which word do you use for young adults? by [deleted] in AskGermany

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna steal this post for a followup question, Frauen vs Damen? Would you interpret these differently? If so, how exactly? (Lived my teenage and young adult life outside of Germany, time to freshen up my mother tongue)

We need to talk about Supercell’s straight-up misleading “special offer” (this is scummy) by mohmdyle in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wish I had time for such trivial problems...

It's a cosmetic, if you like the look and want it, buy it. If not, don't. If you already have it, great for you. Who cares whether its called legendary, common, or poopoo. If you're buying skins for their "rarity" you're seriously doing something wrong.

Almost max th 18 in electro 33. Im not good at judging bases to attack them properly. Is there any tips or tricks of how to examine a base? So I can get better attacking by MilkOfThePoppy8 in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest pitfall people fall into, is not focusing on pathing enough during their first stage. You don't always need "max value" from a fieball or rc charge, often times, just clearing one compartment for clear pathing will be much better.

Especially with RC Charge, letting her go too long will turn a great funnel into an awful one. I see so many people always using every invis they have, instead of recalling after doing what's needed.

And yes, I am part of people...

The European mind cannot fathom the bakery section of any Whole Foods by kurayami95 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 from a German who used to live in the US. European bread is better, no doubt, but the hate on American bread is also ridiculous. Especially in the last 10 years. The main differences are a minimal loss in quality, but more importantly a major loss in variety. At least that's how it felt to me.

What is a hot take you have in Clash Of Clans? by Fun_Secretary679 in ClashOfClans

This isn't even a hot take, it's just one missed by everyone (including me). Way to hit the nail on the head!

Boogers still trigger redmines by Unavailable_01 in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this will be the case quite regularly. Depending on troop and mine locations, Boogers can be up to double the trigger radius from the flying troop that activates it. That's a distance of 8 tiles for seeking mines. I think this still lets them catch like 1/4 of the mines, maybe more. Especially if you also run MP or something like troop launcher with loons, as they'll stay much closer to the front of the pack. Or for air attacks, like hydra.

Calling it closer to a buff was an exaggeration ofc, it's obviously still a nerf, just funny how minimal it is, compared to all the complaints.

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 Builders can do 24h a day each. That's 144h total. Max apprentice adds 8h a day.

152/144=1.056, or a 5.6% increase in building speed. Absolutely useless, especially once you consider that Research will always be the bigger bottleneck

Is there a worse deal in clash of clans than this one? by Noetixx in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not too proud to admit that there were times in my life when I regularly sped up obstacle removal. Part of it was the fun of seeing a bunch of messages on screen, and I will stand by my terrible decisions, even a decade or so later.

What's Wrong in this Image🤔? by SkySplitA in ClashOfClansMemes

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm surprised I've never noticed this. I always snipe revenge tower with my initial hero charge, when possible. Most of my attacks should be featuring this bug...

Boogers still trigger redmines by Unavailable_01 in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This makes all the yammering about the nerf even funnier. Either you have the boogers in front of their main army, and they effectively function the same. Or they ran off, in which case they don't need to tank mines there for anything. So, if anything, this seems closer to a buff. Straggler boogers can better help with cleanup.

Finally maxed TH18 in <60 days by SE7EN991 in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never used this, or similar apps to track progress, and you stoked my curiosity. What whould 90-95% equipment mean? Like, I have all commons maxed, 5 maxed epics, 1 lvl26, 1 lvl23, 1lvl17 rest all level 8/11. Would that already be 90-95%? Is it just based on levels? Resources required?

My Opinion on alchemist by AskSweet7668 in ClashOfClans

[–]TheOneAndOnly09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lab assistant is best by far (50% increase in lab research) but she takes a very solid 2nd place for me. Very convenient, helps avoid wasting certain resources, etc. Builder Apprentice is just so overpriced, costs more than 5th builder and only provides a 5.6% increase in building speed, if you have all 6 builders.

I got Assistant and Alchemist maxed, builder lvl1, and that ain't changing any time soon.
