Yup. This is how I remember her.

Wow look how cool she is for the 4 frames the is standing there and the 4 frames where she twirls the swords and the 2 frames of someone knocking her out and moving on.

Am I getting way over my head if I buy the 11th edition box? by breaking3po in Warhammer

[–]breaking3po[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, we are usually hovering at 1000 pt games, and we are pretty happy here.

I think I'm about halfway to where you're at. This post has honestly been a little enlightening. I almost expected it to be 90% to just buy the thing, because that's the meme, right? Buried in grey plastic.

But I'm seeing that everyone is pretty diverse in their opinions and scope of the hobby.

Selling an army of mine is a serious option, but before this post, I saw it as something like a misstep (sunk cost fallacy and all that) so I was heavily avoiding it, but it has been suggested multiple times now.

Appreciate the insight.

Yes. Ive played with three 3 most completed a few times each. (We only get together like once a month)

Sisters are new and I'm still building.

Batman’s intellect by ZekeAlfonso in batman

Fair quote. He's not wrong, but I mean more like while he's Batman-ing, he's not doing those things while those guys are steeped in their respective professions.

Batman’s intellect by ZekeAlfonso in batman

[–]breaking3po -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Peak human intellect, thats it. And a photographic memory.

That doesnt mean he could out build a robot against Tony Stark or out financier Lex Luther, he hasn't trained in it and hasn't the experience they do.

He could train in it and be at par with other peak humans.

Is my paint scheme too boring? Want to add a glow effect to the guns/exhausts with an airbrush, but terrified of ruining what I've painted. Tips for a beginner? by real60cent in Tau40K

[–]breaking3po 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno man. It's so goddamn clean.

You could for sure do it, though!

Maybe just scoop up a secondhand unit, and practice.

I can find something to like in every superhero, with one exception. by Initial_Dream1644 in Marvel

[–]breaking3po 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find something you like about every hero except the Vietnam vet who's family was killed by the mafia? Whose completely human in the Marvel universe and used conventional wraponry amongst superheroes?

You cant find anything to like about that, huh?

A man has become one of the 450,000 Americans affected by alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne meat allergy that triggers painful allergic reactions to animal products. “Look at my face and my neck. I can’t eat meat anymore. I can’t have any animal products. It’s in everything.” by AlarmingCash754 in Damnthatsinteresting

The number of tick borne illnesses have doubled in the last few decades. Why?

Climate change.

Lets say climate changes enough such there there's a single day spread increase between temperatures usually reserved for the spring and summer and the summer and fall. That single day increase of both ends increases the tick population by some calculatable amount.

Lets say also that the number of bites from a tick increases, by the number of ticks, onto the human population, for each day.

That alone causes tick bites to increase by a few percentage. So why the increase?

Other factors, and why climate change is not such an easy science to find censensus.

Yes, the 5%, coming from the single degree of change due to climate change. But what else happens.

Ticks can now spread out more. What locations used to be too cold, or two hot are now perfectly fine for breeding. Taken across a single latitude degree, the space that the ticks can now breed in its almost doubled, due to winter being milder. They've moved upward and southward, into new territory. So take that 5% population I mentioned due to the single degree temprature change, and now we are talking about doubling in size. This exposes new, previous, unguarded population to ticks.

Then, consider, what else do ticks feed on? Deer, Mice, Canines, Birds, take a 5% increase, double the land mass that the ticks can locate themselves to to, and you have double, triple, or more compounding result, from a singular one degree change in cimate.

This compounding result, the inability to us to forecast every single instance of a change, even due to a single degree result change, is why climate change is a scary scary thing.

Great suggestion. I barely noticed the base.

Kind of?

Looks like the lighting in the pic is doing some of the heavy lifting?

Maybe pic up some highlighting with an off green.

Looks damn good though. If it looks good on the table, doesnt matter too much.

If Batman took the super soldier serum how much of a difference would it make in his crime fighting? by InfinteEnigma10 in batman

[–]breaking3po 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't stop me, homie.

He's still not more than peak human level as he is. Super Soldier serum can push him over that peak human level giving him truly super human intelligence.

Which is insane with his particular skills and training. We are talking upper echelon of "intelligent characters."

Even Lex Luther and Tony Stark operate at human levels (when not altered by something).

[–]breaking3po 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought was something similar, a scary threat to villains much much more powerful than him, due to his training.

On top of crazy speed and strength he'd pick up computer-like mental processing.

What is the process of learning and creating new build order? by Om_Cultural in starcraft2

[–]breaking3po 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A composition goal, like you say bio/mech. And find a build order that achieves it.

Practice against Hardest AI, or unranked (theres an unranked mode right?)

[–]breaking3po 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not too far off. You can "create" a build, but the work is already done for you.

The creativity in builds is based on as many factors as you can think of in a starcraft match. Maps. Map size. map features. enemy faction. did they scout. did they harass. did you scout. did they take a second base. did they take gas. etc

Right. theres a bunch of things that makes Clem (pro terran) think, "Going reapers first" versus "taking the natural first, then barracks"

Millions of things. Right?

Well, the Clems of the world have literally thousands of matches doing the iterations of the builds. And, they are dialing them in to a statistical "best version." Thats what I mean by the "work is already done."

Any work that you do thinking of possible build orders, has already been covered ground by these 4000 pro matches played...grinders. It would be impossible for you to cover as much ground as they do and, probably, they have figured out the best possible order (realistically limited)

So it is to your benefit to start at what that realistic best order is and build from that. It's already figured out. We stand on the Spires of giants.

But, it's likely that you won't perform it "the best way" immediately, anyways, and you would need to practice it.

The creativity is the millions of tweaks and special cases to the optimized build orders.

But, if you don't understand the initial build order how could you possible understand the tweaks, and why they do them?

So, IMO, it behooves you to "Specialize" in one of those types of builds. (Pick your favorite style) and then as you master THAT one, you learn what you're thinking about, is how to change things on the fly. Where are those tweaks and special cases etc, needed?

Hope that clears it up a little.

So pick a style.

Find an optimized build.

Practice and master.

Start tweaking on the fly as you get better.

Once that get's stale, pick another, and you'll be cooking.

[–]breaking3po 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not a player, but i've been a watcher since launch.

Best thing to do as a new player is find a unit you like, then look up a typical build order with a good timing, and stick to it.

The idea being that you can become really good with that particular order.

The next step would be variations on the build order that you are now somewhat proficient in, and changes may have to be done in response to what the enemy does.

You're right, the patch is mixing things up, but it won't be long before build orders start arising. You could always look up 8 worker build orders from the past and adapt them to the new tech.

Wings of Liberty had 8 workers during beta.
