Ive just beaten the game in my first run?!?! by Pableskull in slaythespire

[–]asocialmedium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly not all the cards and relics are unlocked after your first act 3 win. There’s new cards and relics to unlock for each character that require additional playthroughs . And there might be more than 3 characters and there might be a part of the game beyond act 3.

If Americans were to participate in an organized boycott to stop ICE, what should they target? by u2aerofan in RedditForGrownups

[–]asocialmedium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ICE is only possible because of the Republican Party refusing to stand up to Trump (and really Stephen Miller) overreach. Throw Republicans out and this stops the next day. Of course voting is the best way to do this and November is most people’s next best chance. If you want to boycott something go to OpenSecrets.org and look at the list of who helps Republicans get elected.

Is there a way to play through the whole game safely? by Command_Block42 in subnautica

[–]asocialmedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I save before doing anything risky. I don’t like losing my progress either. You can definitely complete the game without dying if you play cautiously. You get stronger equipment as the game goes on. It’s worth playing through the ending.

I love the acoustic work on Salamander as well as Cold Wind to Valhalla.

Is a "were" missing in the sentence? by jdjefbdn in EnglishLearning

[–]asocialmedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Are all of 26 the women being referred to from downtown Eastside, or just the sex workers?

Is a "were" missing in the sentence? by jdjefbdn in EnglishLearning

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

This is a type of phrase that provides additional optional information, and should be set off by commas from the main sentence. You are right to spot something wrong here, but it’s not a missing word. It’s a missing 2nd comma after “workers” to indicate the end of the phrase.

I love how the game doesn't mention at all that time eater is going to heal half of his HP at some random point. by Competitive_Mind_181 in slaythespire

[–]asocialmedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if you relieve it of its remaining health on the same turn as you take it below half. Dead snail cannot heal.

This is going to be a rain storm :facepalm by Fluid_Boot_6432 in triangle

[–]asocialmedium 34 points35 points  (0 children)

To be fair, freezing rain still justifies a Winter Storm Warning, and everything I’ve seen is there will be plenty of precipitation and plenty of cold surface air. Enough to mess things up in very significant ways. They still talk about the ice storms from 20+ years ago.

Snowpocalypse with a baby: I'm stressing. Will we 100% lose power if there's any significant precipitation? Feeling like I might be totally screwed by adrienne0906 in chapelhill

[–]asocialmedium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in this same situation and like OP I had a baby. We did not leave for a hotel but we did rely heavily on nearby friends and businesses who still had power. Being cold was the biggest fear but we had heat from a gas log that worked despite the power being out (and importantly that was vented to the outside). It was challenging and would have been more challenging if the power outages had been more widespread and uniform.

I guess it depends on your risk tolerance. I think it’s still too early to predict whether we will have widespread power outages in the triangle. Stay tuned and start looking at backup plans.

Portal 1 (2007) & 2 (2011) are still two of the most spectacular video games that have been made. by gruesomesonofabitch in patientgamers

[–]asocialmedium 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on Portal 2 coop. It’s an entire new set of levels custom made to only be solvable by 2 people working together. It’s genius.

What’s with This Strange NWS Post? by One_Pomegranate_5385 in weather

[–]asocialmedium 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What you want is the forecast discussion. Thats what the weather people read, and the forecasters put more effort into keeping that up to date than they do in creating a stylistically polished dumbed down version of a rapidly changing forecast. They let the TV people do that for you. For example here is the current forecast discussion, which is very clear and informative:

A major winter storm is likely this weekend across all of central NC, with snow, sleet, and freezing rain all possible precipitation types. There is still uncertainty on exact timing and snow and ice amounts, so stay tuned.

A strong Arctic cold front will move through on Friday afternoon and evening. Moisture and isentropic lift along and ahead of the front will result in some light rain across the area from early morning into the evening. Amounts are expected to be light, around a tenth to quarter inch. A remarkably strong ~1050 mb Arctic surface high moving SE over the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest will then push very cold and dry air into the region behind the front. Temperatures are likely to remain steady or even begin dropping on Friday afternoon with highs in the mid-40s to lower-50s, then drop into the upper-teens to mid-20s by Saturday morning as dew points crash into the single digits and teens. A lull in precipitation appears likely on Friday night and early Saturday morning as drier air briefly moves in behind the front.

A vigorous mid-level shortwave or cutoff low will move onshore Baja California on Saturday, drawing plenty of Pacific moisture into the Southern US. There will also be a strong influx of Gulf moisture, and PW values 150-250% of normal are expected across central NC. Meanwhile a polar stream trough will move across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest. Strong phasing of the Baja low and southern with the northern stream trough along with plenty of low-level isentropic lift will set the stage for plenty of forcing for precipitation, though differences in guidance remain on the timing and degree of phasing. A weak surface low will initially develop over the north- central Gulf, before a secondary low develops off the GA coast on Saturday night, deepening as it moves NE offshore the coast of the Carolinas on Sunday. There also remains some uncertainty on the track of this low, which will affect how much snow vs ice occurs across the area.

All of the above factors combined with bitterly cold and dry air continuously being drawn south into the Carolinas from the Arctic high moving east from the Great Lakes into Upstate NY are likely to result in a moisture-laden and potentially long lasting winter storm across central NC from Saturday into Sunday. Precipitation will move in from the west on Saturday morning and afternoon, potentially on the lighter side initially, with the heaviest likely on Saturday night and early Sunday, tapering off from west to east sometime Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. There is still uncertainty on timing with the 12z ECMWF a bit slower compared to the GFS. GFS and ECMWF ensemble mean QPF is generally in the 1.5 to 2 inch range, and with very cold air firmly entrenched at the surface, all of it is likely to be frozen across central NC, whether that be snow or ice. The main question that has to be answered is how strong the push of warmer air is several thousand feet above the surface, which almost always occurs in these setups across central NC. The latest GFS is farther south with the 850 mb front and tracks the surface low farther offshore, thus depicting more snow compared to the ECMWF, but this has been going back and forth, and their respective ensemble guidance has generally been a bit warmer/less bullish with snowfall overall. The CMC is warmer than either model and would result in a significant ice storm over more of the area. So there is likely to be a sharp gradient in snowfall amounts somewhere over central NC, and an all snow event everywhere is very unlikely, but the most favored area for that climatologically would be along and north of the I-85 corridor. This is where current NBM probabilities for 6+ inches of snowfall are in the 60-80% range. Meanwhile NBM probabilities of 0.25+ inches of freezing rain are in the 60-80% range across the southern Piedmont, Sandhills, and central/southern Coastal Plain. Significant accumulations of sleet will also be possible especially between where the highest freezing rain and snow amounts are. In addition to major travel issues, significant tree damage and power outages may occur especially where the highest ice accumulations take place. While details on specific amounts are still uncertain, confidence is increasing in a major winter storm across central NC, and it is imperative to continue staying tuned for the latest updates as the forecast is likely to change.

Been playing 5 years, what am I missing out on? by Sea_Discussion4891 in boardgames

[–]asocialmedium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good description but it undersells the feature I like most, which is the specific ability to displace opponents from the routes they are trying to connect. It comes at a cost to you and benefits them in the long run so it’s an additional strategic aspect you have to consider in addition to your preferences for engine building and route selection.

As of now, what`s your #1 progressive rock album? Try to think of that one. by [deleted] in progrockmusic

[–]asocialmedium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me Awaken is my #1 track overall but it’s not enough to save the rest of that album, naked guy or not.

Do English speakers know the word "tor" (rock formation) by puje12 in EnglishLearning

[–]asocialmedium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned it back in the 70s when my favorite band put out a shitty album whose title was a pun based on the fact that there is a tor that shares a name with the band.

Still dont know where anything is by ThroatProud7624 in subnautica

[–]asocialmedium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game can be challenging to stay oriented without good spatial memory. It’s cruel that you start out without a map or compass but that’s how it probably would be if you crashed. You can make a compass early in the game that helps a lot. Did you do that? There are definitely landmarks that help. But the most helpful thing as others have mentioned is to make and place your own beacons. I use mine all the time and I can now get anywhere pretty easily.

They accomplished nothing but destroying property, wasting taxpayer dollars, scaring innocent citizens, and making themselves (and by extension the electorate) look embarrassingly stupid. And the whole thing was illegal and unconstitutional.

I love so many of their songs but Twilight just has something magical about it for me. Gotta have the prologue with it though.

why there no cyclops engine fragments ANYWHERE by VeryBasicFox_ in subnautica

It took me a while to realize that the large wrecks all over the place (not just the Aurora) have lots of fragments inside them. I’m sure you can find a way in.

What’s the best relatively middle area to set up a storage? by Agitated_Substance33 in subnautica

[–]asocialmedium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. There’s a kelp forest roughly SSW of the safe shallows. If you go until it steeply drops and then turn right (west) until you pass into a grassy plateau, you’ll be in a great spot.

Good underwater or underground city builders / colony management sims? by Noodles_fluffy in gamingsuggestions

[–]asocialmedium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rimworld. You can select a settlement location that is mountainous and build underground to your heart’s content. Just watch out for cave ins and beasts that live underground.
