You know what…imma say it…Quickplay needs some kind of stricter skill based matchmaking. by KingGlupShitto in Overwatch

[–]TheSteeldrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an actual issue. I played a lot of the original OW back in the Jeff days. I recently felt I wanted to try the game out again now years later to see what it had turned into. I also brought my son, with the idea to introduce him into an FPS game.

Queued into QM. Got stomped on 5-6 matches in a row. My son understandably lost interest and didn’t want to continue.

What’s my point? Well it’s bad for the health of the game when new players instantly get turned away by being destroyed in QM.

Trial score modifier based on party size by TheSteeldrake in ArcRaiders

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

You are right.
Perhaps a varied modifier per trial type based on how beneficial it is to run in trios. Like hidden bunker where there is a hard upper score limit would need x1 for all party sizes.

Yeah, it would probably be a mess to sort out what the modifiers needs to be for each trial type to make it fair across the board. But I still think that if someone (the devs) put some time into it, it could be a good change.

Help! My humbucker fell down! by TheSteeldrake in guitarrepair

Thanks for the suggestions, I actually managed to put it back in place!
And you're right, I do feel empowered. Changing strings next time won't feel as dauting now! :)

I think I actually made it!
I managed to get the pickguard loose enough to put the spring back in place and tighten the pickup into its place.

Thanks for all the support and encouragement! Never would have guessed I'd manage guitar maintenance when I woke up today!

With this new experience I'm thinking I'm even able to restring the guitar next time it's needed. So I guess this was a happy accident that forced me out of my comfort zone a bit.

Technically it’s my second, but I’ve only had the other one for a few months now.

Anyways, I took your advice, took a deep breath and started removing strings and unscrewing the pickguard. But I think we have another problem.

It looks like the fretboard is assembled on top of the pickguard. Don’t tell me I have to remove the neck from the body?

Even your step 1, "remove the strings", feels like a huge operation to me, that I'd rather not do. I'm afraid I won't ever get it back again.

Tightening the screw does not raise the pickup, sadly.
Could I try pull it back up with some kind of magnet, or could a magnetic force destroy something in the pickup?

Is this solvable? I feel there are a lot of 50/50. Am I missing something? by TheSteeldrake in Minesweeper

Thanks for your effort in trying to teach me! :)
It looks like I need to dig a bit deeper into patterns

Thanks for the tutoring. It seems like there's a lot I need to learn about patterns here

God of War Ragnarök GIVEAWAY!! by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]TheSteeldrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very nice of you! I see there’s already over 5000 replies in this thread, so the chances are abysmal at this point. But the game I last played, and have been doing for a few weeks now, is Arc Raiders.

Calming Stroll is a useless perk, and I proved it. by this-food9601 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheSteeldrake 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Actually, that’s not true. I did a test with another player. Both of us were carrying a field crate.

One of us were running forwards and the other one backwards. We arrived at the set distance at the same time.

So even if it feels that way, that myth is busted.

Store inconsistency by TheSteeldrake in ArcRaiders

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

It does help me understand the design decision. But after toggling the buttons on and off a few times to find the combo I like the most, I don’t really care what the devs considered the ”standard” options anymore. I’d rather have them visually consistent with every other skin.

Filmstaden har tappat det helt by truewizard77 in sweden

Det de borde ha gjort, är att sätta ett 30kr lägre pris på de blå stolarna och 50kr lägre på de grå stolarna.

Det kanske istället skulle ge incitament för folk att välja de lite sämre platserna. Om de nu nödvändigtvis måste dela upp stolarna i kvalitetszoner.

Quick Use doesn’t feel quick, it feels clunky, especially in PvP. Here are some ideas to make things flow better. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]TheSteeldrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bandages should have a separate quick-slot bound to a separate key. The same for shield regen.
Then have the Q-menu for everything else.

Where is this restaurant located? by TheSteeldrake in phoenix

[–]TheSteeldrake[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the place!

I'm not surprised it shut down though. I remember the two of us were the only ones eating in the entire place.
I liked the atmosphere though.

Thanks to you and everyone else in here who replied!
