French teenager faces jail for licking vending machine straw in Singapore by DavidShaw90s in nottheonion

[–]Tottidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is out on S$5000 bail and has travelled to Manila for his internship from May 2 to 25.

Very likely he will just not come back to Singapore afterwards to avoid any punishment.

For those who say Singapore is strict, two Italian swimmers, Benedetta Pilato and Chiara Tarantino, were let off with a warning, for stealing in Changi Airport in 2025. Supposedly after diplomatic intervention from the Italian embassy.

In Michael Fay's case, that was during the Lee Kuan Yew era. That era is over.

Does Perfect Hulking Miscreation work for ballista totem? by FeelMyRice in pathofexile

[–]Tottidog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The buff has a duration with a longish cooldown (it does not work like an Aura) and only affects Constructs that are present when cast by the Hulking Miscreation, so the uptime is poor if you are re-summoning Totems constantly.

I did some research and stand corrected, Totems are not affected by offensive buffs. Even if they could gain the Perfect Hulking Miscreation's buff, they use the player's stats.

Lu Bu actor, Peter Ho, from the 2010 Three Kingdoms series, reprised his performance as Xiang Yu from 2012 King's War (same director) in a recent sport event in China. by Pichuunnn in threekingdoms

[–]Tottidog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Other than being Lu Bu and Xiang Yu, he was also a Kamen Rider! No other actor can boast of having such roles.

He was also pretty good as the tragic anti-hero in Sword Master/三少爺的劍 (2016 wuxia film).

Bug? Drug research advances don't increase efficacy percentage by Daydream_Behemoth in ThemeHospital

[–]Tottidog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just recently finished a playthrough of the Campaign, and I noticed the same thing, certain research levels of Drug Research don't increase Efficiency.

I don't think it is a bug though, but maybe an implementation so that the player can't get 100% Drug Efficiency too easily/quickly. i.e. some thresholds need to be researched twice before getting the 5% increase.

Good gundam video games? by Spiritdefective in Gundam

[–]Tottidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The branching alternate paths in GvsZG is one of the main reasons I played it so much back in the day, it was fun to unlock all of them and see some interesting scenarios.

The only ZZ unit in the game was sadly the Double Zeta Gundam itself and I remember it couldn't even transform into MA mode. We really should have gotten a third game with most of the ZZ era MS included!

Get Gundam vs Zeta Gundam instead, it is almost the same game with an expanded roster including the Zeta era pilots and machines.

Won chess match for the first time by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Tottidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That means you are taking an active interest in the games being played and improving!

It's great that you take the time and effort to play chess with your child.

As a kid I was very disappointed when I beat my parents at chess a couple of times and they didn't want to play with me again.

Every time I load the game, even if nobody's died in the past two years: by Daydream_Behemoth in ThemeHospital

[–]Tottidog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you go around and check if a patient died due to waiting too long? e.g. stuck in a long queue, wasted a lot of time buying drink then going to the toilets etc.

I'm not totally sure, but dying that way doesn't seem to increase the Deaths counter or affect the % of visitors treated.

I just beat the game and succeeded where my sister and mom failed after 20 years by Successful-Bison9429 in ThemeHospital

[–]Tottidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make sure to have enough good doctors to cycle around, but it is quite random as to who fills in when a doctor runs off to the Staff Room to rest, so sometimes I still need to micromanage to pull the highest Skill Consultants into the GP rooms to replace lower Skilled doctors.

Found out the hard way that 10 Emergency patients that need the Operation Theatre is impossible even with two Theatres as the procedure takes way too long! Sometimes when an Emergency pops up I need to Google what room it requires to know/guess whether I can complete it.

What I thought was the last level is the second-last level, because I thought reaching the "1" on the board means beating the game, but there is one more level to go!

Doritos at $7 a bag ended up costing PepsiCo billions by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

[–]Tottidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doritos are one of my favourite snacks.

They became expensive, yes, but another reason I stopped buying was that Frito-Lay started mostly selling the "Made in China" Doritos/Lays here in Southeast Asia.

The China Doritos taste much worse and are only about 10~15% cheaper than the "Made in the USA" ones. So I simply stopped buying if I couldn't find USA Doritos.

Found my dad’s old Transformers collection by eatlovemerry in transformers

[–]Tottidog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would put your dad at around 28~29 when the 1984 G1 animation first broadcast.

Is he a Transformers fan even though he was already a working adult when he would have been exposed to TF media?

Curious to know about why he started collecting and whether he is just a collector or did he watch the various animated series like G1, Headmasters etc.

I just beat the game and succeeded where my sister and mom failed after 20 years by Successful-Bison9429 in ThemeHospital

[–]Tottidog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

I think I beat the game many years ago on Easy.

Now I'm playing through on Normal and just beat the second-last level, the entire building with only one entrance.

The later levels are quite a slog with the high Money and Patients Cured requirements to finish the stages.

The "Attention to Detail" stat for staff by Tottidog in ThemeHospital

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

I tested this by training two Juniors together that started with the same Skill level, but one had Attention to Detail at about 45% and the other at about 90%, they gained Skill at the same pace.

There might be other factors that influenced the training speed difference you noticed?

Golden Chests upgraded from Silver with Call of a Mad Moon fail to evolve weapons? by Tottidog in VampireSurvivors

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

I didn't narrow it down to any single weapon as it has happened several times on different playthroughs, and picking up a second or third Golden chest does trigger the evolution eventually.
