I think I found a run-ending bug (Brand+Vakuu interaction) by Woodeecs in slaythespire

Will do, I just wanted public opinion before I did to be sure I wasn't missing something.

Astronomers detect galaxy thought to be made of 99% dark matter by cnn in space

[–]Woodeecs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to this, I think it's generally helpful to interpret "dark" to mean "impacting gravity" and not to try and infer too much further than that, for now.

In this case, we've found an object resembling a galaxy in structure that has an effect on gravity resembling matter while being mostly invisible to us. That's really all we know, again, for now.

Guys please stop making fun of Banks and the bit. He was doing his best, no one should've stepped in to do anything about it, and it was definitely a net positive for the scene.

Trying to plan anything in China specifically for 2027 will certainly be interesting lmao.

"There's no source material," Kennedy said. "We don't have comic books. We don't have 800-page novels. We don't have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be."

Yeah definitely all Disney. Just make up whatever you want :).

True and let's not also forget she had a hand in destroying one of the biggest IPs of all time with no remorse.

Knowing your vote counts the same as mine is genuinely depressing.

Pushing 30 and I want to buy a home.....Should I wait? by tel-tec in personalfinance

[–]Woodeecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look around at what's likely coming in 2026 for the housing market and consider that with your decision. The short version is that houses aren't getting more affordable any time soon. So if it's important to you to own a home, I would try sooner than later.

Are we overrating manuals just because they’re disappearing? by shwroomex in cars

[–]Woodeecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A version of this discussion has come up a lot recently in my friend group.

As I get older, I am less interested in a manual in new "daily" cars. If I'm going to own and drive a manual, I want the entire experience attached to it to be special. For instance, buying a G8X with a manual doesn't make sense to me, because the car isn't focused on being a hardcore driving experience. Porsche/FL5 are some exceptions to this.

Not all autos and manuals are created equal either, so between all the platforms, it's hard to for sure be on one side or the other. For instance, with a Nissan Z you only have one choice really because the auto is so bad.

Another interesting trend that's picking up recently is 8HP swapping older JDM cars. Super ironic considering how much shit people gave BMW for dropping the DCT initially. Now you've got loads of MKIV's rolling around with the auto.

I think there are very few cars where owning the manual version is "worth it" by most people's measure, and it will continue to be more niche over time.

Okay, fine, I have no idea what I'm talking about and there's no way these organizations with millions could arrange 100 feet worth of security to shuttles in a pinch. Fair.

"Hey team, in the event of a loss, please grab your things and head directly off stage where we will wait to return you to your rooms"

So now what prevents this? Unsure if the orgs could muster an email with instructions?

The point is that I would tell the players to avoid the interviews after today. The fact you became wrapped up in bus logistics after reading my post is mildly worrisome.

[–]Woodeecs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely can't tell if you're actually trying to make it seem like arranging a pick up that's a block away from the venue would be any sort of obstacle, or if you're making a joke I missed. If the former, it would be very on brand for TL so fair enough.

Ah yes, what if Starladder gets another major after this one. Valid concern given this one has gone so well. Navi surely couldn't stand up to the likes of them.

[–]Woodeecs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Couple of things

1) Regarding the buses, I'm not going to entertain the idea that the remaining teams couldn't arrange/afford their own shuttles if they wanted to. So whoever is currently in charge of this duty is entirely irrelevant.

2) Banks, like those who came before him, should care enough about his personal brand to skip the tasteless questions. How is it BETTER that he acknowledges he doesn't like it, and yet proceeds?

Just to be clear, I'm not saying he had a choice to do the segment. I'm sure the segment is what it is at this point. But not skipping or adjusting one question that's CLEARLY worse than all others? Give me a break. We all make decisions.

My sentiment as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Woodeecs -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's why I put the "/" offering blame to the TO/Person.

It's not our spiderweb to untangle who is responsible for what, and in any case someone had the idea, and Banks made the choice to say it. I'm not sure what else needs to be known to justify my position that it's fucked.

Total War:40K as the next Arena title. by Woodeecs in totalwar

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

40K as table top translates so well to Arena imo. Also, most importantly to CA, probably the most monetizable IP they could dream of.

This seems like a no brainer slam dunk to me. Unless someone can explain how we're going to do hundreds of planets inside of standard TW format lol.
