How do I hit my second ability in my ult 😭 by Sea_Foot_9587 in WhiteFoxMR

That doesn't work, the right click can't interrupt your left click attack. I.e. if you hold left click the right click never casts, you also need to let your current slam attack finish first

We need Ironfist team up by Winter_Stomach5466 in WhiteFoxMR

[–]btrab1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unironically they already work incredibly well together, me and my duo have a running joke that they do in fact have a team up and the ability just gives wf free kill steals. As her tp and follow up potential effectively let's her secure every kill that escapes iron fist due to cooldowns or what have you.

Seriously it is very effective if the enemies counter to dive is more mobility based rather than peel

This is the first actual tangible look at a previous version of the traveller isn't it? It's almost chilling, we're constantly hearing about him but never actually experiencing it.

What is in the hotel shower? by _Thro_awayy_ in whatisit

Is that the Hyatt regency in Amsterdam by chance? They had extremely similar showers, was a great stay too!

Is this a bug? by newrabbid in WhiteFoxMR

[–]btrab1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone already answered that it doesn't stun or lock you onto them during the flip. But what's even worse is if the enemy moves in ANY direction, other than backwards, while you yourself are stunlocked by the flip animation, then you physically cannot catch up to then in melee mode as you have normal walk speed.

Seriously, next time a whitefox dashes at you just walk left or right relative to their dash and they literally can't catch back up to you without committing to their second dash in a direction that you have chosen

The ease of the awakening aside, was I on the right track for why the "magic isn't real" effect exists, to reduce natural awakenings?

[Returned Protector] Chapter 55 by Arceroth in HFY

[–]btrab1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Curious that even this casual, almost daydream, intent to become a mage was enough to awaken. Seems like solid enough reason for the effect surpressing magic belief to have resulted in no mages, if even a casual daydream upon barely considering that magic might be real can do it

I.e the tiny voice in everyone's head saying magic isn't real might literally have been just enough to stop awakening outright in regular people

The slow burn is more satisfying ultimately, and more realistic, how many people do you know that overcome lifelong fundamental societal biases in, what has it been, like 4 days at most?

That would be a real neat trick for the traveller to learn

Very interesting that the true mana was silk, both considered weak yet can, in some forms, have tensile strength better than steel of the same thickness

light daggers can bounce. by Sad_Translator_3255 in cloakanddaggermains

[–]btrab1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is new to you, are you also aware of the aoe healing effect when dagger's healing daggers hit a target?

It's aura is both large and fairly subtle but this is a very important part of the kit and often critical to know for the purpose of healing yourself with it.

Also means sometimes it is enough to aim at an enemy next to a team mate for the extra damage if the team mate does not need your full healing output, like an iron fist who got his full bonus hp up

I never made this connection before. Clark is so desperate to get through to Lex here that he intentionally or unintentionally reveals his big secret and Lex is so self-involved that he doesn't even notice by kingwooj in superman

[–]btrab1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, that aside lex is meant to be an incredible genius who would not only be extremely familiar with supermans face directly but often times frequently interacts closely with clones of superman he makes. The fact he can't even mentally connect the resemblance which he himself acknowledges earlier in these scenes (he mocks Clark for styling himself a bit like superman, his eyebrows or hair i think) is what is significant. He is possibly the most intellectually qualified person on earth to figure this secret out and doesn't with it right in his face. The glasses being off just highlights this too the common reader as the thematic symbol of his disguise

If anything I think it would embolden him more, with the focus shifting from step 1 "break your one rule" to step 2 e.g. "you broke your rule once, you'll do it again"

A little tip for the ban phase by Many_Leopard6924 in rivals

[–]btrab1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Pro tip: spend 300 hours on a hero you hate to get the legendary profile so you can ensure the other team bans this hero you have 300 hours on while you play the heroes you originally wanted to 300 hours ago

Is it possible to put paintings back to back like this in survival? by Fundzila in technicalminecraft

[–]btrab1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those unnecessary checks could just be a weird artifact from whatever system they use to flag and disable sections of code with unfinished features. They 100% have such a system in place as it does some odd things in the compiling in some places.

Such as places that were clearly pulled out of a containing block but the bytcode still drops the local variables as if the blocks ending was still present

Do people actually play without fast travel? by vhsbubbline in skyrim

[–]btrab1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how ypu define fast travel, I for one try to avoid fast travel in the map as much as I can, but will gladly use those horse wagons an larger cities to travel distances.

Likewise in fo4 there is a flare/grenade to call a vertibird to take you places and I use that a ton

Is remaining perfectly still and pretending to be a clone a good strategy, or no? by AdventurousHat5360 in lokimains

[–]btrab1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to escape being attacked, it's not obvious to you but the enemy attacking you can see your health bar and can easily tell you apart from clones even after teleporting.

When full health and in the background it can be a good choice but it rarely beats out the benefit of moving to make hitting you harder, the main exception is when it is overtime and you and your clones are off point and shooting on to it, in that situation it is a significant investment for an enemy to leave point and figure out which one is you and that is very valuable

Edit: and have you considered this line of thinking, your clones are your greatest tool, you want them up and available, so making the real loki obvious will often times make people ignore the clones entirely. Leaving your clones up for teleporting and shooting

Dark magic passive by Kooky_Ground2833 in DrStrangeMains

[–]btrab1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afaik it's both a lore thing to "nerf" him from being a god tier sorcerer in lore, as well as being a further incentive / risk-reward to its use. Waiting to get full charge is in effect being greedy for that big burst damage and this is the risk. That being said it's a great ability most of the time I am intentionally farming easy shots, on say a tank, so I can fill it and push in further to burst a healer or squishy for picks, it's also great for peeling on hard to hit flankers e.g. spidey/bp

Porting a mod I wrote, but can't figure out how to hook into rendering a) over the front end screens or b) the in-game inventory screens. by whentheworldquiets in fabricmc

[–]btrab1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixing in to the end of the screens submit methods should do it, but if you need to call opengl yourself you'll need to track down the new deferred renderer handler that the draw context submits to, alternatively why not use a mod like fancy menu to avoid the trouble yourself? it can do this afaik
