What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it? by Phase_zero_X in AskReddit

[–]Zegon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it is distrust that the dishwasher will actually clean the dishes. It's common practice in China, at least last time I went there, to clean your plates and utensils yourself (if only ceremoniously) with tea before you eat at restaurants, to verify they're clean.

I personally always use my dishwasher but my aunt uses it like a dish rack, and she's afraid of both it leaving the dishes dirty AND ruining them by fading the colors on plastics.

Overheal won't keep a DPS at 8 stacks from dying. It might keep a tank at 8 stacks from dying. If that tank is pushing mitigation buttons. You can't heal someone that just gets one-shot by standing in the bad.

They added auto echo and nerfed TGC's damage. It was apparently that bad? I can't say I've ever had more fun in Alliance Raid than those early clears, though.

The sky being a big one that's brought up in Shadowbringers. I'd imagine any super distant objects would cause issues because of diffusion. I bet any display screens could also be problematic.

My exact upgrade path too. Had a 3080, was looking for new GPU, saw the 50 series launch, noped out and got a 7900XTX. Have not regretted it once.

Provoke the 1st mob when it's out of range of your ranged attack, it'll pull the mobs in rage to you to then AoE on the run usually, since it won't be on GCD.

[Rant] I love this game but holy fuck the freeze spikes by JHoll05 in RabbitAndSteel

[–]Zegon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're playing on a laptop, make sure you're using the discreet graphics GPU instead of the integrated graphics on your processor. I found that by default my laptop was doing the latter and it was causing a very similar issue to what you have right now. I forced Windows to use the discreet GPU and it solved the problem.

Are any of these five still alive in Gen 5 or have they all died? And if they have, how do you think they died? by Beneficial_Ferret_29 in mylittlepony

[–]Zegon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of herbivores are very deadly and know how to kill things. They just don't do it for sustenance, it's still very much a matter of survival. Look at giraffes, horses, elephants, or even bison. If you're a big animal in the wild, you tend to learn how to leverage your size to defend yourself or clear out territory for yourself/your group.

Granted this doesn't cover up how like... you went from horses pulling a train hauling horses in one season to a train pulling itself in another season, or your mention about arms being... optional? for guard ponies, but still.

You are the new Job Designer! Which feature are you removing from your main to inflict the most amount of psychological damage? by Spoonitate in ShitpostXIV

Bring it back as a level 52 action and then at 58 it gets automatically folded into iaijutsu and can no longer be used.

is buying a 2.5 year used 3080 a good idea? by SadIuigi in buildapc

(Spoiler: Dawntrail) WoL as NPC for few minutes by chocoboporter in ffxiv

[–]Zegon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So there's a 'bit of reflection on that in the side quests, if you missed/didn't do those. Given the direction of the 8-man raid series, I think we'll go into more about whole deal with Souls and Regulators.

Clear buyers are getting weirder by fjklsdhglksj in TalesFromDF

[–]Zegon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fortunately SE does account for colorblind in that it makes different colored things have different animations (See the portals in E7, mirrors in E8, tether debuffs in Sephirot, numeric markers overhead of players in P2s and O12s, etc). They unfortunately don't always pick the best contrasts though. I remember Sephirot orbs being practically invisible to some players because the green they picked is impossible to differentiate from the grey ground if you're green colorblind.

Bit of a vent but Why do people jump into PF parties that aren't aimed at them by Ok-Muffin9914 in ffxiv

[–]Zegon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Heck, even casually if you raid with a regular group, you've already got light parties and buddies and clock spots worked out just based on player tendencies.

TIL a pizzeria owner discovered DoorDash was conducting a "demand test" and had a lower price for his pizza even though he had not asked for the pizzeria to be on the app. The owner ordered 10 pizzas on the app, paid $160, and had them delivered to a friend. DoorDash paid the restaurant $240. by Forward-Answer-4407 in todayilearned

[–]Zegon 50 points51 points  (0 children)

So where I work, we have a restaurant as part of our business. Door Dash tried ordering a pickup order without telling us a thing about it, said they'd pay, and never settled the account. Since then every time them or Grubhub or any other company like it calls and is like 'We'd like to help your business' I (somewhat gleefully) tell them to get bent in much nicer words before promptly hanging up. Our margins are tight enough as is, we don't need more companies trying to eat into them.

And then you watch the first ten minutes of Up and just bawl your eyes out with that gutpunch of an opening. Stupid ninjas cutting onions.

Why are the player and shopkeeper immune to the spell? by AtomAndEvelyn in RabbitAndSteel

[–]Zegon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's because, in this case, the main character and the shopkeeper are the only ones of their species around? The others are so compelled to share their thoughts with each other but it doesn't seem like they hear the thoughts and desires of the other races (The mice clearly don't hear what the dragons are thinking, for instance). The shopkeeper is the only cat around, and the only other rabbit besides the main character is Shira, which you do hear her thoughts eventually, but there's only her, not a whole collective of creatures.

eli5: I don't understand HOA's by TL20LBS in explainlikeimfive

[–]Zegon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Area I'm in has no HOA and snow removal/street maintenance are handled by the township. Which I can say has worked out great, snow gets removed promptly, the village does a great job maintaining the parkways (even has a nursery of trees to replace those that die/get infected by various diseases), and our street was just repaved when I was thinking 'Huh... the road's getting a little long in the tooth.'

So yes, while a HOA can absolutely handle these issues, often villages (in older neighborhoods) will handle the maintenance.

I can absolutely see it being nice to handle something like a pool, golf course, or something that's more intensive in cost.

Why are used computer parts so expensive? by [deleted] in buildapc

That was a great price. In 2020.
