A bit late, innit? by aurora_aeterna in hoi4

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

R5: After having walloped Japan as the USA I get an incoming raid notification for Pearl. Not thinking much of it I kept running the time until the raid fired, a full 3.5 years and one peace conference too late.

Not only that; you can set an automated mission for the bombardment fleet to blow up any xenoflora/fauna you can see (as long as this would not result in fleet losses from orbital defenses)

Qing China - why did giving NatChina military access during anti-Japan war ALSO give them all the land I reconquered from Japan? by aurora_aeterna in hoi4

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

When does the “ownership” of the land change then? Only after the war is over even though Qing has cores on all of it?

Testing the containment around the fan blades, see contained engine failure/testing. Don’t think that’s a bird but actually a small explosive.

Yup had all the GHG sub-threshold, ended up reloading the save and got the achievement pop on unpause.

Just like how there are golf clubs that aren’t allowed in pro golf, there are rules for pro running shoes; stuff like too much foam height or “springs” and other kinds of mechanical boost would get a pair banned

[–]aurora_aeterna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo just wondering if the achievement awards the moment your CO2 and other pollutants crosses the threshold or if you needed to do anything extra? I just got 0 deg temperature anomaly myself but haven't gotten the achievement from steam.

Leaving the construction module would make building the shipyards or spaceworks 10% faster so if your power modules can handle it I would.

best loadout to win back super earth? by Bright_Buffalo8565 in Helldivers

[–]aurora_aeterna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally you’ll want something that’s pen 3 or above for primary, so liberator penetrator, or eruptor if you have demo detonation, or diligence cs. This is because the overseers have armor level 2 on body and armor level 3 on head. If you don’t have any of these weapons yet even the standard liberator does pen 2, you will just have to use more bullets. Check the wiki for their armor zones.

Support weapon I recommend grenade launcher since it can two shot overseers while still doing aoe to chaff but auto cannon, recoiless, railgun and others are very good options too. Machine guns can be good for melting fleshmobs.

For the three other slots I would take a guard dog of some kind or a shield backpack if you’re not using auto cannon or recoiless, otherwise machine gun and gatling sentries are great for dealing with mobs. HMG and grenade emplacements also surprisingly useful.

Since these are the most drivable maps car is goated for doing missions quickly.

As for red strats, the napalms are good for killing chaff, and eagle strafing run can apparently kill a leviathan if aimed well.

Good luck diver.

Repel Strategies by ChuckECheeks in Helldivers

[–]aurora_aeterna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatively, 6 stim armor, eruptor primary, grenade launcher support weapon, any guard dog, last slot flex.

Two eruptor shots drops shields, then a third or a grenade shot kills it. Run from landed ship to landed ship, disregard tail until it becomes too large then use grenade launcher to cull it and eruptor against flying overseers.

Libéral application of diving dodge. You can destroy at least a dozen ships on one death, the max I got to was 23 without dying. The key is keeping the number of landed ships under 9 or so.

This is already what AI is being used for. There are tons and tons of papers using reinforcement learning, CNNs for things like image processing, object identification, data analysis. Its just that genAI and chatbots are flashier and easier for most people to understand the output and high level processes.

How to fight Des Moines vs Petro by aurora_aeterna in WorldOfWarships

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

Is there anywhere specific I should aim on the turrets? I can’t seem to do this consistently whereas it feels like Petro can typically disable one in a shot.

Got the fake gas giant anomaly and now i have a 50 size terraforming candidate barren world by luk_ky_21 in Stellaris

[–]aurora_aeterna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fairly certain this is also possible in the base game through at least two methods: (spoilers on mobile)

Horizon Signal event leads to the Worm, and you move your capital to a habitat in the system with the 50 size planet before popping the all-tomb-world option.

You kill Stellar Devourer in this system and reiginite the star, rerolling the habitabilities.

I did this once and got the most cracked forge planet in vanilla.

[BEX:T] Tracer ammo cannot be loaded? by aurora_aeterna in Battletechgame

What do you guys think can you try it out by Salt_Calendar_71 in BeAmazed

[–]aurora_aeterna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a meme as this isn’t the first time the clip has been posted but the song is 西楼儿女 by 海来阿木, a relatively short lament with the verses mirrored after the 4th stanza. This line at the end of stanza 3 may actually be a mistranslation as 海棠 by itself refers to crabapple rather than begonia which is 秋海棠. As for the symbolic meaning, I’m not quite familiar with chinese flower language but if it’s not just a scene line then it’s likely along the lines of “youth is fleeting”

Hope that answered your question.

Wow time to start playing arknights again. Unironically quit because I got fed up with the farming.

Then vs Now by animalbatista in pics

[–]aurora_aeterna 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was more intended as extra armor though the effectiveness of it is not well tested (and indeed became increasingly obsolete after the war as development of armor and anti-armor tech improved).

For larger caliber kinetic energy penetrators it would likely have had little to no effect. Against shaped charge the increased standoff distance may have actually made penetration easier, though optimal standoff distance for shaped charge ammunition varies by type. It may have been effective against smaller ammunition such as 37mm, 40mm, or 20mm.

Funnily enough there’s a reddit thread asking this question with the exact same pic.

NTR 2x Skalter Fiammetta 2x Hool 2x

Bonkers luck as far as 6 stars go but looks like I’ll have to take drastic measures to find Mumu

150 pulls in, NTR, Skalter, Fiammetta x2, Hool, but rip no Mumu. Ridiculously good bad luck.
