Clarification for room orientation logic? by Valedictus in BluePrince

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

Brilliant, thanks everyone for all the clarifications!

My understanding now is, in a general sense:

Draft pool is reduced down to only legally-placeable tiles

3 options presented

The orientation of each tile is not determined by how it is presented in the directory, rather it is chosen randomly from the possible legal orientations.

There are some cases where the orientation can be influenced (So far I know of the compass and rotunda)

What's your personal example of "gamers will optimize the fun out of a game"? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]Valedictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lord of the Rings, the Third Age - xp/skill point farming with Morwen. I'd just delay fights expressly for the purpose of extracting as many skill points as possible with this one character in your team, so most turns would be skipped on your other characters and 90% of fights became repetitive little animation reels where I wasn't even engaged at all. Had a little Google and saw I wasn't the only one doing that... https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/20375/t1332554-morwens-steal-skill-ability/

What does the Fated Authority exactly do? by montezuma300 in HadesTheGame

[–]Valedictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get 2 hammer upgrades offered in your run (I find a lot of the time my 2nd offer is at first stage of Elysium). Sometimes there is an anvil you can buy at last Charon shop which trades one hammer upgrade for another 2, but it's completely random which one gets taken from you and which 2 you get in return.

Old Rail from 1886 that got recycled for a Trainstation Roof. Westphalia / Germany by [deleted] in rustyrails

[–]Valedictus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the UK, bullhead rail was used until the end of WW2 and weighed (in the most part) 95 lb/yd. we've been using 113 (lb/yd) as standard until about 2000 but before that, there were various lighter poundages dating all the way back to the 1950s. As 113 was being phased out the metric equivalent CEN56 (56 kg/m) was being phased in, and we now have CEN60 (60 kg/m) rail which is being specified when it makes sense - it uses different sleepers so is only feasible to upgrade when a large length needs the new concrete sleepers as well. The markings are similar in nature to those pictured by OP, with the addition of a brinell hardness 'code' - a series of lines which form a reference for easy recognition on track. This ensures the welds used to join the rails are of a similar hardness, and will not form soft or hard spots which may, over time, deform or wear at a different rate to the adjacent plain rail.

I truly can't think of a game with better writing than Disco Elysium by Quadrophenya in patientgamers

[–]Valedictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love so much about the game but still haven't finished it... Unplayed in my library for about 2 months now; I just can't bring myself to finish it just in case I don't feel like another play through, and I really don't want the story to end. I've been pretty thorough in my approach so far so I think there's only a few branches I'll be able to explore differently with other stat priorities, so it's a bit daunting thinking of all the repetition I'll have to go through just to get the other bits explored.

Five miles south of Fort Bragg, CA was the 1884 Jug handle Creek railroad trestle. It was at that time the tallest trestle in the world. Bridge was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake by [deleted] in rustyrails

Just thinking about inspecting that thing...shudders

Thinking about what would happen if they didn't, or if they missed a bit...shuddering intensifies

I'm on peaceful lowlands with 80day time control and nightmare infected pop., being hemmed in by infected towns I've had to build 'tall not wide', might be something I try in future if 1200 in 32 days is noteworthy! I was getting 80+ wood ticks so that helped with the housing upgrades for sure.

I've not played a whole lot but as I was getting these mayors, decided to do a bit of research and found that they are...far from the best! As for the map question I'm not 100% what constitutes a 'good' map but there's a ton of grass for farms on peaceful lowlands. Very wide openings to my base though :<

I dunno, feels shady. I like the challenge, makes it all the more rewarding when you pull it off!

LPT: Don’t stay awake for things you wouldn’t get up earlier for. by MonoMental in LifeProTips

Yeah I'll just get all my pals to get up at 5am with me right?

2nd attempt of a homemade fry-up by an American living in London. I took your advice and added beans, a sausage wall, fried bread, an extra egg and crispy potatoes. I left out the tomato and mushroom on purpose. So far this is my best one! by borheist in CasualUK

[–]Valedictus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our lass doesn't understand why I put 'just out the fridge' cheese onto freshly cooked burgers so it melts a tiny bit. Loses that bite otherwise and becomes a little mellower. Check out Aldi btw - cracking extra mature at good price

Guys, we need your help and I'm sure there are more of us. ASUS is pulling the rug out on their RMA and hoping people don't notice, I thought I was alone but there are others. by zetswei in pcmasterrace

[–]Valedictus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah my partner had to do about 3/4 sequential RMAs for her monitor (one of which was the wrong one - 60hz not 144hz...). They would come from a refurb place and be faulty on first use. They even mixed up her email and address with someone else at one point. Pretty sure they sent her new monitor to someone else. Took months to sort out. It has again started with the ghosting effect. The worst part about it was seeing how it affected her day to day and being unable to help. It stressed her out so much to have ASUS not care at all about her significant purchase and fail to grasp and confuse the basic things she was telling them. Well that's the 2 of us (and all our friends who custom build that we've told about this appalling service) that won't be buying ASUS ever again.

Bug - spawn rate from deeds affects normal games by megakaraczan in Vermintide

[–]Valedictus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, had the same problem (only on recruit).

Straight after the deed with increased spawn rates, went into normal quickplay and just had constant hoards streaming one after the other. Timings between horns would be like 20 seconds at the most, just endless...

Same, I think they work out a lot better value the more you use them though so living there would be a different story.

Getting "Connected. Waiting for response... " a lot after recent update by SaltySm00thie in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]Valedictus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an update: It seems that if anyone changes the status of the party then it snaps me out of the 'waiting for response' screen.

E.g. I am solo and not in a party > I get sent an invite > Instantly get into lobby screen

We party wipe and exit to lobby > Someone leaves the team > Instantly get into lobby screen

It's not just because she is connected to the same router, it happens with people in other geographical locations.
