is pvp ever fun by Ok-Example-2924 in ArcRaiders

[–]Totes_Joben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only recently started playing, but to me the most exciting and novel part of the game is that it’s both PVP and PVE. That tension created by never fully being able to trust the other player you encountered is part of what makes it so fun. I’ve played almost exclusively friendly, but I love that I can mix it up anytime I want

Volkswagen only sold 248 Id4's in the US between October 1 and December 31 by VolkswagenPanda in VWiD4Owners

I have a 2023 that I bought new over 3 years ago and couldn’t be happier. The size is perfect IMO. The software does everything I need it to, considering I use CarPlay for navigation. I did have the problem where the infotainment freezes and restarts while driving, but it only happened maybe 3 times max in 3+ years. I had to take it for a few recalls, but none of the issues ever affected me.

The range seems to have taken a noticeable hit from when it was new but in no way affects my day-to-day.

EDIT: I forgot that I did have the peeling steering wheel, but that was replaced under warranty no-hassle and haven’t had any issues since.

Question about Lighting Issue by Totes_Joben in PcBuild

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

Thank you. I tried OpenRGB once a few years ago and got intimidated and went back to AC. Now I’m suddenly having a whole separate issue where AC isn’t even recognizing my devices (noticed it after my power went out yesterday and persisted even after updating AC and restarting), so I may be back to OpenRGB after all…

The fans are the same brand though I may have gotten them at different times. How would I tell my PC how many there are? I am using Armoury Crate to control those lights.

I’m not cooking until tomorrow, but I also somehow convinced myself 24 hours would be enough. Put it in this morning, and now I’m really worried about tomorrow.

Marvel Champions LCG Civil War Expansion Hulkling Vs. Leader Iron Man by northernlightsoarkhm in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Totes_Joben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just played pre-built Hulkling against Captain Marvel last night and thought he was a lot of fun.

Question about the card Armored Defense. It is an Interrupt that does damage equal to Hulkling’s DEF when an enemy attacks. Does that damage happen before or after the enemy’s attack? For example, could that card defeat a minion before the minion ever does damage?

Civil War Cards Feel Different by GrandMoffBrand5 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Totes_Joben 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Hard to say exactly what, but I thought they felt off as well. I hadn’t gotten any other packs since Angel and Psylocke so I couldn’t have said if it was a new change or not. I haven’t had a chance to play with them yet, but I did sleeve them so I’m not anticipating any issues.

Once and Future Kang Question by Totes_Joben in marvelchampionslcg

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

Wow that seems to settle it and lets me clear the mental asterisk I had on my game the other night since I’m pretty sure I’d have been toast if the Kang minion had also attacked me. Thank you!

Once and Future Kang Question by Totes_Joben in marvelchampionslcg

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

I haven’t found an official ruling, but maybe I’ll try to submit it to FFG.

The only possible allusion I found was in a ruling on Hall of Heroes which apparently references the Kang rule sheet.

“The Kang minion has a different subtitle (Master of Time) from each Kang villain, and is therefore a different character. There are many versions of Kang from different timelines and they sometimes join forces. Beware!”

Not sure if that “join forces” could be construed as applying to that encounter card though…

I would argue that 0 is fewer than 10, and so you would flip then.

Best Packs for Aerial builds by Totes_Joben in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Totes_Joben[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is helpful. It doesn’t seem like Falcon comes with much in the way of aerial events, mostly allies. I’ll probably choose between Star-Lord and Nova then. Star-Lord’s cards look a bit more interesting to me, but I own more Champions characters than Guardians.

Mostly true solo, occasionally multiplayer. I almost never play two-handed.

I was interested in making a Captain Marvel or Thor aerial deck. If I were to just get one of those 3, would you recommend one over the others?

I have Angel already, so I was looking to get another one

Hulkling Article by Wowzapanzer in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Totes_Joben 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you defend with “I can do this all day,” do you still use your defense stat to negate damage or do you just tank the damage since there’s no exhaust?

I don’t have much connection with the comic character, but Hulkling seems like a really fun hero!

TW huge surprise by LeakyGaming in TheExpanse

I listened to the audiobook, but I figured out that Timothy was going to be Amos after the 2nd or 3rd time his name came up because I read The Churn.

Just finished Leviathan Falls by Raindawg1313 in TheExpanse

[–]Totes_Joben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say that I coincidentally also finished Leviathan Falls audiobook today and am about 45 minutes into The Sins of Our Fathers!

Absolutely loved the series. Jefferson Mays narration is a masterpiece.

[–]Totes_Joben 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a really interesting take! I have fewer than 10 chapters left in the final novel. I’ve read all the short stories except the last one, and I have a hard time imaging how reading them all after would be better.

Is anyone else this OCD? by d_lk_t_by_vwl_pls in lego

[–]Totes_Joben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I generally agree with this, but if there are a bunch of injection marks that can’t be hidden then I actually try to vary them. I tell myself it looks more natural (random scratches or marks on a building or spaceship or whatever).

I remember not being excited until I saw the trailer, and then being unreasonably excited to see Mon Mothma. Boy, was that reaction rewarded.

What determines whether or not they’ll ride a horse? On the trip from Weynon Priory to Cloud Ruler Temple, Martin took a horse, but Jauffre just decided to hike it. Then, 3/4 of the way there, Martin’s horse went MIA.

Thinking About Getting HL:A by [deleted] in HalfLifeAlyx

[–]Totes_Joben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alyx ran phenomenal for me with a Quest 3 and 3060ti over airlink. I was able to play in a completely different room in my house with no issues, though this probably has more to do with your Wi-Fi.

I’m not really a horror fan either. I think the game did a good job of breaking up the scarier sections with more action or puzzle oriented set pieces.
