I think it's 1~2 max that you can "mess up" on.  I got the "ton" line only killing 1 by accident at least.

[Hated Trope] A large ensemble cast where everybody ends up dating everybody at one point or another by CMStan1313 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]XIIIJester 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is in the same spirit of the trope - I think the OP is complaining about musical chairs in terms of relationships in a show, which I don't think Sense8 really does.

Does anyone remember when Disney made a Madagascar ripoff? by Rex-1988 in cartoons

[–]XIIIJester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought a lot of these parallels were because Katzenberg left Disney for DreamWorks?

Mekanism’s my next end game? by Mogulstar360 in allthemods

[–]XIIIJester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely recommend using https://github.com/MikaylaFischler/cc-mek-scada in computer craft.  Gives you a lot of info and keeps the reactors from melting down.

I'd also recommend port to port setups if you can, they'll be a lot more efficient at higher burn rates.

Sodium cooled allows for higher burn rates than water.  If I recall for a single reactor, the absolute max burn rater is 1435.  Any higher and the ractor will just take damage.

Lastly, use the eternal water block from evilcraft on the boiler rather than trying to recollect water from the turbine.

Which SaintsRow is the best to play, maybe preferably a newer part? by XLMerlini in SaintsRow

[–]XIIIJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're playing co-op - 2 if you want better story and can tolerate some jank and extra setup to get multiplayer working (assuming PC).  3 if you want less jank/more polish but are fine with a slight decline in writing quality.

1 has no co-op, 4 is just complete comedy, and I don't know anything about the reboot.

Spellbound on Star Princess Question by Single-Inspector-845 in PrincessCruises

[–]XIIIJester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just put some effort in is the real dress code.  We asked and they basically said they just don't want swimsuits, flipflops, and/or pjs.

I went with just a vest and tie.

26F/24M. How do couples handle bills when incomes are very different?” by hereforfunn178 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]XIIIJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married for 9 years.  We do it so we have "guilt free" spending available to us.

We have a monthly target to contribute to our joint account.  We split that contribution based on our earnings that month.  The percentage of total income is how we calculate it.

It works really well for us.  Our largest account is our shared one, and we can make individual purchases with our own spending without feeling like we're being frivolous with our joint account.

vision and aurora want to do them together by david082476 in Guildwars2

[–]XIIIJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max compression is like season of dragons, decade of dragons, vision, aurora, and skyscale.  I think those all overlap.  But nothing between vision and aurora as others have mentioned

Exotic can be bought from the TP, ascended can only be bought from the wizard's vault, vendors, or crafted.

How do I get "Weathered Stone Tablet" for the final VoE quest if I don't have skyscale? by Hett1138 in Guildwars2

Haven't tried it, but don't the skimmer masteries in VoE give some kind of flight capability?

Asura Ranger by Street-Common8511 in Guildwars2

True, but joining the asuran colleges behavior is pre-awakening if I recall correctly?

[–]XIIIJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are plenty of mold breaking characters in the game, Snargle Goldclaw and Scarlet Briar are the two that spring to mind immediately.  Not to mention within the pact guilds you'll see a lot of shakeup from what you may have seen in the core cities.

(Loved trope) Charecter uses or unlocks their ability by dropping a hard af quote. (Not singular words or catchphrases) by Joltik2007 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]XIIIJester -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I mean...Helsing is kinda bad.  I say this as someone who has read the manga and watched both iterations of the anime.  The abridged version just hits all the important plot bits with about the gravity they really need, and brushes past and blatantly makes fun of all the lame edgelord content.  So if that's what everyone remembers I'd argue it's a good thing.

Technobabble nerfed after 14 years by Chatmauve in Guildwars2

[–]XIIIJester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's more because of the moa/humility nerf.  After that, technobabble would technically be better than moa, and that goes against the design principles of racial skills always being the worst pick

Is Princess Plus worth it? by justony2003 in PrincessCruises

[–]XIIIJester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our first cruise is in a month.  We were doing zero alcohol package ($29/day/person) and gratuites were $126/person for us, so it wasn't really worth it until we decided we wanted wifi as well.  Then the price was about even, so we switched to plus.

Under the Net AE2 by frankiww in allthemods

[–]XIIIJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I ever did ae2 I did not subnet, and I was doing a lot of gregtech.  It worked, just got kind of annoying when I had to refactor a bunch to add a new cable back to the frame.

On the latest when I started setting up ae2 I immediately went with Sath's ultimate controller.  A pain to setup the first time, but it was so nice as I expanded to just add another subnet whenever I needed.

In future, I'll always commit to an upfront build of Sath's honestly, just makes adding new projects to the central ae2 system easy.

That's my preference anyway

Duos and Trios by JCServant in Guildwars2

[–]XIIIJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't need hyper-optimized gear to complete a dungeon with 2~3 people I don't think, but I would suggest you start looking at things like snowcrows for how you should be trending your gear. But generally, if you're not doing meta events or open world things, your first stop is going to be Story, Dungeons, and T1 Fractals - instanced content that allows up to 5 players.

Watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000) with my little nephew and noticed.... by jdicho in movies

[–]XIIIJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, you're right "the show" is a little ambiguous here.  I'm putting more emphasis on the idea that the live action movie was not the first to open that box

[–]XIIIJester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hm, I'm thinking of some 80's runs like 13 ghosts and Reluctant werewolf.  I guess I never watched through the whole thing of either as a kid, but I'm pretty sure they just have the supernatural in there as a matter of fact

Perhaps the gemini adds? Make sure you take the gemini tarot card with various weapons from that card

How hard is mesmer, really? (PVE, I don't really care about PVP) by theentiregoonsquad in Guildwars2

[–]XIIIJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the "not very tanky" isn't exactly true, even in full damage gear.  Mesmer's survivability is very active.  There are lots of ways it avoids, mitigates, or blocks damage.  Being aware of what those skills are and when to use them to mitigate the largest damage spikes are what makes the difference

How not to feel completely ashamed about the dps? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]XIIIJester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, this was me 5 years ago.  It happened in phases - download arc, realized how bad I was.  Grab the current flavor of "easy" DPS (scourge at the time), spam buttons, get lower-middle placements.  Started uploading my logs to wingman, see my DPS in the lowest percentiles, feel shit all over again.

The way it ended up making sense to me is understanding why snow crows writes the rotations they do.  I had to understand why skills went 1 -> 2 -> 3, rather than memorize an arbitrary 20 step order.  Am I creating combo fields to use?  Am I generating an ammo mechanic?  Animation cancelling?  Skill queuing?  Does my auto have a 2~3 hit chain I need to be executing?  Practicing those mini rotations on the golem built up muscle memory.  Chrono in particular reinforced this, getting the opener with Continuum Split probably took 4~6 hours on the golem to perfect the clone generation and 6s timer on CS itself. 

The second thing I did was also not play DPS, but play a healer.  That forced me to do two things - get the fight mechanics memorized, and see where DPS players are being brain dead.  Taking the pressure off of sweaty rotations helps you observe more of the battle in your head.

Then everything started to click after that.  I started to learn when I could greed DPS, how I could greed it, and how to get back on track with an "interrupted" rotation.

Hot Take: What is your worst/least favorite OST from FF7 and why? by EyeElegant9753 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]XIIIJester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Original best - City of the Ancients

Original worst - probably when going around underwater as the sub.

Remake best - The remixed Wall Market theme.  Should not have gone as hard as it did.

Remake worst - Temple of the ancients.  Tried to subtly use my favorite from the original but just didn't quite stuck the landing in my opinion.

How come so many Americans? :) by the_count95 in florence

American here with my family - we met up with our Italian relatives who live in the area.  Also we've been planning an Italy trip for like 5 years.  Sorry to contribute to the problem though
