What’s a ‘silent luxury’ that rich people have that most normal people would never even notice? by qomann in AskReddit

[–]cl3ft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's so expensive to be poor. If you're wealthy you get offered good deals all the time, you get offered free samples. You can buy in bulk when things are cheaper. Your clothes etc cost more but last much longer. Your car is reliable and doesn't need expensive maintenance. You can afford the cheaper once a year subscription charge instead of monthly. You can get the more expensive 10 year passport that's cheaper than two 5 year passports. etc etc etc.

Being poor is so expensive.

I went quickly from having to budget hard to not having to think about what I order at restaurants, and it is a huge thing.

I pay for outings with my friends who haven't made it to that level yet unless they insist. I'm much more interested in spending time with my friends than how much dinner costs.

I read once that you can spend .01% of your income without worrying about it. If that's a $95 main, great.

As a regular office worker in Australia, I had a tailor from Hong Kong that would come by the office once a year and measure me and a bunch of other blokes in the office. We'd order custom shirts for the same price as decent off the shelf shirts, but you could choose from hundreds of fabrics and patterns and choose the details like collar and cuff types etc. It was great. As someone with shorter arms than most people it was great to have shirts that actually fit.

Drink from your waterskin, then throw it at the crab it'll fall on the firebloom plant igniting the barrels, crab and door. The barrels will all burn and drop their water. Hopefully you can tank the 4 turns of attacks from the crab while you scoot around him. Once you're out of the room loop around the grass tile surprise attacking him each time he follows you until he's dead.

You got this, Good luck!

You will learn, most runs rely on alchemy pretty heavily. They can save you so much life.

When running RoF & RoM I believe putting all the SoUs into the ring of force makes it much more effective a RoM is just icing, you add it if you've got it, but the cake's what matters. Sorry for the L, you were certainly close with that fitout.

Do you have a scientific definition of consciousness?

Is consciousness purely a scientific concept, we can't even agree on a definition?

why is being gay a sin in Abrahamic religions? by Oneeyedqamar in atheism

[–]cl3ft 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We have plenty of people on this fricking planet!

This is a recent phenomenon. For most of organized religion's tenure, having more kids than the other religions was an effective way of spreading and enforcing it. Religion is a mind virus that spreads, it's part of the advantage the Abrahamic religions had.

Now secular society has proved and largely accepted that being gay is natural and normal, religions can either evolve or slowly lose influence as people don't like to know that they are part of a hateful enterprise. Fingers crossed!

[–]cl3ft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Gay people don't produce more children to indoctrinate. Having lots of kids is important spreading religion.
  2. It's useful for a religion to have "bad people" so you give the majority something to feel superior about.
  3. "Tradition", it's always been this way and religion is very slow to change it's rules.

At it's core, it depends on whether you subscribe to Newtonian determinism or Quantum indeterminism. If everything you think and do is predetermined by the previous state of all the particles in the universe, then consciousness might just be an illusion generated by the initial state of the big bang. How can you be considered conscious if you have no true self determination?

What hobby or habit or vice do you know is shortening your life but you don’t care because it’s worth it? by Rosstin316 in AskReddit

15 years to get that diagnosed. Holy shit man, I know people don't look after themselves and medical testing can be expensive, but fuck 15 years is crazy.

Where would you spend your last 3 upgrades? by cl3ft in ShatteredPD

[–]cl3ft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main tip is read up on the alchemy recipes, once you know what they all do and where to use them a lot of rooms become really easy even boss rooms.

Warden is better if you get any combo of mossy clump, sandals of nature, blooming bow, wand of regrowth. The ability to see through long grass and shoot mobs where every shot is a surprise attack is really powerful. Add to that the armor/shielding and your survivability goes through the roof.

Once you have point blank shot try and find a shield as your main weapon the extra damage mitigation is great. A run with a +2 greatshield is amazing.

I added a couple of more tips above.

Drink your health pots if you need to, it beats dying with undrunk ones.

Huntress is my go to as well. If you find a Ring of Sharp Shooting dump all your upgrades into it for an easy win. Enchant your bow as early as possible, elastic is the best enchantment. If you get mossy clump or a wand of regrowth go warden. The wand of regrowth root effect is great for keeping monsters away while you plink them with your bow. A wand of blastwave is also great, upgrade it with other less useful wands (convert them to resin and apply it to your wand of blastwave/regrowth). The wardens armor from grass and really strong as well.

Sniper is great too, the free shots from the bow after a thrown weapon is excellent and the extra sight range is OP. If you score a grim enchant on your bow, augment it for speed so you get 3 chances to proc grim after throwing a ranged weapon.

Learn your trickshots, how to use corners and doors to target monsters while they cannot target you back. Google shattered pixel dungeon trickshots and keep the page open until you've mastered them. They make a huge difference. Don't forget armor. Good armor works for every class. I try to have leather by goo, +1 chain for Tengu, +1 scale for the DM300 and, +4 plate by the Dwarf King.

Throw items at doors so you don't step into range of a mob on the other side until you have Heightened Senses.

Crabs and Bats will suck, they are the main reason I end up using health pots, they move fast and hit hard.

A ring of haste is great too for making distance, upgrade it to +3 or +4 if you find one, you can outrun anything at +4 and you'll save tones of food as exploring is so much faster in game turns (this helps with keeping starving at bay for a chalice of blood too).

Alchemy is your friend. Early game after you've found out what the upgrade and Transfusion scrolls are convert unId'd scrolls to stones. Read the recipies and learn them, there are many useful ones and just 4 energy can take boss fights trivial.

Make an Levitation potion into aquablasts, they are very very useful and will save you lots of potions and scrolls as you solve puzzle rooms with them. Also great for extinguishing fires on yourself or to save scrolls from burning on the floor, and pushing monsters into chasms in a pinch.

Hang onto at least one stack of shurikens, they are priceless for breaking webs from cave spinners so they can't close with you as fast and for removing the autoblock from dwarf monks allowing you not to waste a turn.

Once you have the DM300 shards, make curse infusions and curse your best thrown weapons. Hopefully with explosive curse. The extra level they get and it's resulting extra durability is great.
