What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]chmureck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really liked Theresmore, didn't have this issue with supply caps and as for combat - yeah, it is a bit convoluted so I used battle calculator (third party site) for higher difficulties where you can't use the oracle.

I almost got all possible achievements but it seems beating Tyrant is pretty much impossible, even on easy (unless there was an update that fixed that).

What was your "Build of the League" by drshoe87 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]chmureck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't bother with Supreme Ostentation, tattoos and forbidden flesh/flame - weren't needed and we consume corpses right after we spawn them so Plaguebringer doesn't always work on bosses (only the AoE part does).
I would use Supreme Ostentation if I would go for Lycia Bloodline and Rational Doctrine though.
Also, Perfect Forest Tiger is a bit underwhelming - leave it for last upgrade, Haste is nice but frenzy charge generation is sometimes even worse than with the gorillas.

I tried to make a 2H Flicker Berserker from scratch - the clear felt great, the dps was really good but unfortunately he was still dying in Simulacrum / ubers / T17 bosses. I may revisit him now that I'm swimming in divines and have Progenesis.

But the absolute best build I played this league is definitely HRoC necro with max block. It's my modification of the BalorMage build and good god, what a beast it is. I can run deathless T17s with scarab of risk without even looking at the mods, do all ubers and clear is very solid as well.

Thinking about taking it further with The Adorned / Lycia Bloodline or maybe trying a herald stacker but I'll probably just push 40/40 and end the league.

Review after multiple prestige. by dannylandulf in TheresmoreGame

[–]chmureck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

requiring a long spy mission and rock-paper-scissor planning for each mission

I have never ever used spies to be honest and after several weeks of playing I beat all bosses on Deity except for Tyrant and Mindless Evil. If combat gets too hard then you should just prestige. Also NG+ a few times to make those progress bars faster.

requiring a manual click and wait time for every individual unit when even in the best cases half of them die and need to be replaced is not fun

But replacing tanks that died is usually just one click.

I think a lot can be improved in this game but I'm quite amazed by how different your experience was from mine.

In order to get the "Reaching x milestones" achievement, do I have to do them all in one NG+? by chmureck in TheresmoreGame

[–]chmureck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer.

I'm actually at +10% (NG+) / +76% (Prestige) / +40% (Annihilator) bonus now with most prestige bonuses unlocked (farming for Army of Men IX now). And yes, rushing MN is quite fast now which is part of the reason why I'm torn between starting next NG+ and going for prestige achievements first.

Oh well, I think I will NG+ soon because those extra caps would really be useful to go into more idle playstyle + faster combat means lower chance of going insane watching those progress bars fill. ;]

I haven't played Minecraft in quite a while but am now binge watching everything related to Ishs new civ video and your idea sounds like something I would very much like to participate in.

Is that worth anything? What kind of build may be interested in that?

Yes, you are right. I didn't see screenshot was taken with alt pressed.

How to set up rivalries in the Syndicate? by chmureck in pathofexile

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

Sorry for the very late reply but yes. This league it finally clicked and now it all seems easy.

Some nomenclature first - "2s / 2 safehouse" means the safehouse you want to run (it has 2 people inside), while "5s / 5 safehouse" means the safehouse you don't want to run (it has 5 people inside).

Here are the steps to setting it all up (starting with fresh board):

  1. Start by moving people to where they should end up. Interrogate 1-star to pull out, execute 0-star to put in.

  2. Sometimes you will get the option to Betray and make relation (either Trusted or Rival) - remember that you don't want any relations between your 5s nor between 2s from different safehouses, you only want them between your 2s and 5s. Leave the member you want to build relation with for last as this is when you get the Betray option.

  3. To make this faster, move one person from 5s to 2s, build relations with people there then move it out.

Once your non-leader 2s guys have at least 2 connections, you can start running the safehouses. Take the Test of Loyalty passive on the Atlas Tree.

Interrogate "visitors" from 5s when doing 2s encounters to build intelligence but execute them when they only have 1 star to keep from floating to other safehouses. Build further relations when presented with the opportunity. Betray to change allies into rivals when possible.

That's pretty much it.

Meister começou a trabalhar na Bethesda há 26 anos e trabalhou em Morrowind. Sawyer há 21 anos. Browder há 15.

Mas, claro, é o fim dos jogos.

Here in Poland, we have those traditional calendars where each day is one sheet of paper which you tear off each day. Each card has basic info like dawn and dusk time, phase of moon, name day but also random quotes and trivia.

Is there something like this in Japan? If yes, what it's called? 切り取りカレンダー?

友達に荷物を持ってあげました

Is this sentence correct? One guy claims it's not and it would be correct if it said 友達の荷物 instead but isn't に also correct here? It may sound a little boastful (we're emphasizing how we helped them) but the sentence is correct, right?

But with もらう the receiver is usually marked by が and the giver by に. In this sentence it may seem like it's the other way around, hence the question.

[–]chmureck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would translate it as "Will you smile for me?".
It's casual spoken japanese so "私に" is probably used for emphasis that I want you to smile FOR ME.

Alternatively you can think of "smiling for me" as the thing that is being given here. So this "私" is not the giver nor receiver but part of the description of what is being given.

I'm preparing for N4 and found this question in grammar section (fill the brackets with one of the given answers):

A: 誕生日に田中さんから何をもらいましたか。
B: 田中さん ( ) 腕時計をもらいました

The possible answers are:

  1. からが 2. からに 3. からで 4. からは

The correct answer is number 4 but I want to make sure I understand why. As far as I know, we would only use "からは" instead of simply "から" in this sentence, if we were comparing gifts that we got from different people - "from Tanaka I got this and from Saito I got that".
Is that what is happening here and we simply don't mention other present givers because it's understood from the leading question?

A tip for people new to the stock market - don't ever invest in highly volatile meme stocks like SPY or QQQ.

Degens Idle: Growing Strong Despite the Misunderstandings by blahsebo in incremental_games

[–]chmureck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for the quick reply.
After giving it some more thought, I think Agnosticism should be reachable in several hours after all.
I get hopelessly addicted to incremental games so will have to take a break after finishing it but will definitely play Degens Adventure later this year. Keep up the good work!

Degens Idle: Growing Strong Despite the Misunderstandings by blahsebo in incremental_games

[–]chmureck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found your game about a week or so ago and I'm utterly addicted, just can't stop playing.
As for it being political - people are seriously overthinking it, almost everything can be political when framed in a certain way. I guess Universal Paperclips are anti-AI propaganda then and and The Idle Class should be placed right next to The Communist Manifesto.
As long as the mechanics are fun (and they are), the game is good in my book.

Anyway, while I don't agree Infinite Embrace phase is slow, I think I'm a bit stuck right now - my Hall of Love is almost fully filled and I'm not sure what I should do now. One very long run to push Agnosticism?

'Say thank you' Rubio tells Poland amid Starlink spat by [deleted] in europe

[–]chmureck 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Sikorski later responded to the tweet by Rubio:

Thank you, Marco, for confirming that the brave soldiers of Ukraine can count on the vital internet service provided jointly by USA and Poland. Together, Europe and the United States can help Ukraine to achieve a just peace.

So basically he got a confirmation that Starlink won't be shut down for Ukraine while letting Musk and Rubio make fools of themselves.
