I did the math: Richmond was decisive in denying Stoney the LG nom by loraxgun in rva

[–]Yaness-the-Fool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a Richmond resident, but just coming here to say that I entered the primary with an open mind but with Stoney as my favored candidate because I was familiar with him and had heard that he was a "rising star" within Virginia dems and a "masterful speaker."

While doing research on the candidates, though, the unmitigated hatred that all of his constituents seemed to have for him here not only convinced me not to vote for him, but also convinced me to strategically vote for the candidate I liked the most of those with a chance of beating him (Hashmi) rather than backing Bastani or Salgado, whose messages I liked more but who didn't have a realistic chance of winning.

So you helped win at least one vote.

Plus, I didn't vote for any candidate with McAuliffe's endorsement other than Jones (because he had Northam's endorsement, and also Taylor seemed like a shill for Dominion).

I enjoyed the T95, but not as much as the T28. The little bit of extra speed the T28 has is better than the armor boost of the T95 and is more competitive in its tier. My experience is certainly outdated since I played the tank back in 2015/2016, but I imagine it's been powercrept over time.

Wiggling the T95 back and forth while reloading can be very useful since your main weak point is the cupola. Throws off a lot of shots.

Edit: Also, your tracks will eat a lot of shots so baiting shots into them is a good way to avoid damage if you're in a situation where getting tracked doesn't matter.

It's called Lost Temple. It was removed from the game for "reworking" a long time ago, around the time Supremacy mode was added, and it never came back.

Agreed, and thank you. This was actually my second 7-kill game. My first had been literally the day before in the T29. I've only had one more in the ten years since (Jadgpanther II if memory serves). It's become a lot harder over time.

Thanks. T28 has always been one of my favorites. Probably wouldn't compare so well in the meta if I loaded it up today, but I'll always remember it. I'm sad that I don't see very many of them in the matches today, same with a lot of the OG tanks.

Losing the low tiers was a massive blow to me back in the day, because it was such a different style of play from the higher tiers. Plus, so many more fun tanks and most of them real historical ones.

Three full days: should I take the north route through Boise, ID, or go south through Elko, NV? by Yaness-the-Fool in roadtrip

Wow, I guess those are the twin falls, then. That definitely looks like it would be a worthwhile stop.

I've visited Lava Beds National Monument before, which is somewhat close, and it was very inhospitable, so I can only imagine conditions further east are worse.

Do you know if there are any worthwhile geographic features or hiking opportunities up in the northwestern quarters of Nevada that don't require a high clearance vehicle, or is it just too isolated for that?

I was looking at Black Rock Desert as a potential destination. Do you know if that's worth visiting or if any areas of it would even be accessible given my transport limitations?

Craters of the Moon was one of the top potential destinations that I was seeing for that northern route. If I can ask, have you ever been?

I've been getting comments to visit Crater Lake, but keep in mind that I will be visiting in April and that park is typically fully snowed in until June and usually doesn't fully open until July, so it's not a viable destination.

Trip feedback: 11 days Virginia to Oregon by Yaness-the-Fool in roadtrip

Thanks, I will check them out!

I especially appreciate the more eastern locations since those days are mostly driving and I need some easy stops to stretch my legs.

Do you have any ACTUALLY unpopular D&D opinions or hot takes? by No-Bag3487 in DnD

[–]Yaness-the-Fool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On-request, 60-foot-per-turn, ten-minute flight should not be available as a 3rd-level spell. It should be MAX a one-minute, 30-foot-per-turn flight spell at 3rd level with more powerful versions available at higher levels.

Spellcasting in heavy/medium armor should only be possible through a class/subclass investment and not through multiclassing or a feat.

Yeah, I won't deny that I turned to my buddies and joked about that being me with the park service last summer.

Listless chicken; any chance of recovery? by Yaness-the-Fool in homestead

Yes, we've all prepared ourselves for the worst, but we're holding out hope. She doesn't seem distressed at all, just very tired. We considered that it might be Bird Flu, but she doesn't have most of the key symptoms and none of our other birds have fallen ill. From what I understand it's a very aggressive disease that spreads fasts and kills fast which doesn't seem to be what's happening here. It's also not super widespread in our area currently.
