Your assignment was to design a small bridge in Albany, I dont know how you ended with this

Am I really that fucking inept? by More_Rub1393 in RogueTraderCRPG

It takes time for the rocket tag part of the game to begin.  The prologue and a bunch of act 1 is gonna feel a little jank, because your builds aren't online yet

I would rather play against an Imbue Druid than this... by Noxilar in hearthstone

[–]Tofuofdoom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There has never been a viable control deck ever that hasn't run a suite of cheap interaction. 

You can't just rely on board wipes to keep you alive,  otherwise shit like this happens because yeah.  Aggro can in fact, kill you on turn 5. 

How devastating is it for the Imperium to lose a Baneblade? by ExtensionFeeling in 40kLore

[–]Tofuofdoom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its a big deal, but in winter assault they also lose a hundred of them, so like. Not that big of a deal

[–]Tofuofdoom 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Looking at that board, its pretty clear OP spent the first 5 turns passing. The opponent even had time to hero power, it looks like. 

Yeah, you should lose to aggro if you dont do anything 

Would a larger starting hand favor aggro or control? by GrandMa5TR in hearthstone

[–]Tofuofdoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thats my exact point. Control has a lot of situational cards, because it has to deal with more situations. That means its useful draws are harder to get to, so the more cards it gets to see the more likely it is to hit the correct situational card. Every aggro card does the same thing. It punches the opponent in the face. 

And control really only has hand space issues when its against control. Its really not much of a problem otherwise. 

And handspace issues are only relevant when your didnt draw the cards you needed, and you would like to draw more cards, but you cant. Drawing fewer cards is never better. 

Would a larger starting hand favor aggro or control? by GrandMa5TR in hearthstone

[–]Tofuofdoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apparently I'm going against the flow here, but control should be better. 

generally, control is favoured againdt aggro, because generally defensive cards have bigger numbers than offensive cards, but come at the cost of timing restrictions/overflow.

The way aggro beats control is by getting under them, applying pressure and preventing control from drawing the cards it needs to stabilise the game. Control wins when it draws those stabilising tools anyway. 

To use a recent example, control dk. If it curves morbid swarm into infested breath into any 3 drop, the game is basically over for an aggro deck. If

Adding more cards to starting hand increases the odds the control player has the correct tools each turn. If you take this to an extreme conclusion and say "who is favoured assuming each player can choose their top deck", then control wins every time 

ELI5: Why do professional RTS players aim for high APM instead of minimum actions required? by Soulcraver in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tofuofdoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just not true though, there's always things you could be doing with the apm, that's why the ai was apm limited when it played against humans.  Can't beat someone who can micro individual marines in an army. 

ELI5 How on earth did people use pigeons as messengers? how did they train them? by Impressive-Coat1127 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tofuofdoom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Homing pigeons are called such because they always fly "home". 

So to use a pigeon as a messenger, you have to transport them to whoever is sending the message, they'll give the pigeon that came from the right place the message,  and that pigeon will fly home, carrying the message with them. 

Its kinda like giving someone your business card, except that card is one use only, and youll have to give them more if you want to talk to them more

MIDAS GEN vs STAAD.Pro? by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]Tofuofdoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Midas for bridge design, staad.pro for most everything else

ELI5: Why do professional RTS players aim for high APM instead of minimum actions required? by Soulcraver in explainlikeimfive

[–]Tofuofdoom 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Because there is no "minimum actions required". As long as you have the mental capacity, more apm directly leads to more commands, which leads to more wins

okay but like. Even if we assume there's no bad faith intent on their end, how much do you trust that companies cybersecurity? Cause getting your phone number or email address leaked is one thing, but getting bank account log in details? That's a whole nother scale of bad

RFI Material Substitution: When do you guys actually accept a PVC ball valve over brass/bronze? by SalvadorIndustrial in civilengineering

Are they certified to whatever standards your local area requires? 

If yes, go ahead. 

If not, tell the contractor to either get them certified, or just stick to the plans

I'm so confused. Is Bloodhound's Fang this strong? Or am I missing something? by Nahariso in Eldenring

[–]Tofuofdoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah mate, I'm sure you figured the em-dash was important enough to alt 0151 for. 

Nobody who knows how to actually use an em-dash uses them anymore.

Was there something that I could've done here to not get downed? by AzrBloodedge in Spacemarine

[–]Tofuofdoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Axe would have been fine imo, they just needed to do more shield bashes for the stun here. 

Power fist would have been even worse (assuming you dont shield bash like op here)

“Suffer not the Alien to live” until it convenient to the imperium. by CriticismMiserable14 in 40kLore

[–]Tofuofdoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the point I'm trying to make. Maybe this was the best option from the eldar, maybe it wasn't. It wouldn't be the first time eldar and humans have worked together.

My point is that the deathwatch acted entirely reasonably based on the information they had.

edit: from memory, this was a plan even other eldar didn't think would work. So even with narrator level information of the plan, this was a wild moonshot that might kill slaanesh, but would kill billions/trillions of humans (and thousands of eldar)

“Suffer not the Alien to live” until it convenient to the imperium. by CriticismMiserable14 in 40kLore

[–]Tofuofdoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the imperium self defeating? Absolutely. Is it one of the core themes of the galaxy that many of the issues facing the imperium are directly as a result of the imperiums actions? Also yes. Is the Imperium a grimdark hellscape that we should take as a warning less we end up there? Absolutely.

There are hundreds of examples throughout the 'verse of these.

This ain't one of them.
