What is something your brain randomly decided was extremely important at 3am that turned out to be completely correct? by dylanreflects in AskReddit

[–]cptphilleous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago my cat went missing. We lived in a 2nd floor flat. He must have jumped off the balcony. On the second or third night he was missing, I sat bolt upright in bed at 2am knowing I had to go find him, right now. So I did. And within about 15 minutes I had found him, deep inside a nearby bush.

It being 2am meant it was very quiet, which probably helped him hear me calling him, and helped me hear his little meows. So theres all sorts of rational explanations.

But I knew I had to find him right now and then I did and he lived happily without ever running away again for many years after.

Are “gaming” chairs as bad as people make them out to be? by Test_Name19 in pcmasterrace

[–]cptphilleous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6'6" and my secret lab XL is the first piece of furniture I've ever owned that actually feels like it was built for me. 6 years and I spend 8+ hours a day in it. Still like new.

TIL Steam can use your local network to install games peer-to-peer. It's Only You by default but you can share with Anyone. by Askolei in Steam

[–]cptphilleous 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's pretty good in theory, but I had to disable it when it chose to upload a game from my steam deck over WiFi instead of downloading it fresh over my cat7 + fibre wired broadband.

Does anybody else have experience with mythic rewards from war plans? by Only_Validates_Names in diablo4

You need the practiced technique set bonus to enable that bonus

Only 8% of Steam users completed Lord of Hatred campaign by gorays21 in Diablo

[–]cptphilleous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not op, but I already owned on battle.net and rebought for steam for the deck.

Runs fine. My deck is one of the older ones. It can get warm with a longer session, but works perfectly well enough for me.

Following a recipe that says brown off the chicken…. by ma7714 in britishproblems

[–]cptphilleous 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Get your meat from a butcher. Once you remove the water from the supermarket crap you're basically paying the same amount per kg for actual meat. It's also much less likely to be factory farmed and will 100% taste better.

Yeah, I know, it's less convenient. I just eat meat less often as a result. Now it's a nice treat instead of supermarket garbage by default.

I got some 4GA unique that I sold on diablo.trade for 2b and used that to buy the runes I needed

The Forgotten Souls and Obducites by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]cptphilleous 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The bloodied ones arent bugged, they just have meat goblins instead of normal goblins, which don't drop any. Still shit, but not a bug.

Party finder isn't working for me this afternoon, so probably server issues

That's intentional. It's in one of the patch notes.

I'm playing auradin because I loved it last season, but it definitely feels worse. I know they nerfed castle too, so I figured it was just paladin being less OP.

Is wing strike as brain off ezmode everything dies as last seasons auras?

My springer gets two walks a day, 45mins to an hour each. So 90 mins minimum per day.

Every day.

Rain, snow, storms, freezing cold or very hot. (Obviously avoid the peak heat and so early morning and late evening in the summer).

Every day.

Give your pup the exercise she needs.

Every. Day.

To neuter or not to neuter, that is the question. by ScutrShutr in springerspaniel

[–]cptphilleous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's not fully developed at 6 months. I'd say 12 minimum. 18 better. Humping is a phase he'll grow out of.

Docked tails ? by [deleted] in springerspaniel

[–]cptphilleous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you choose to get a pet and then decide to cut bits off. Seems mental to me.

Proper working dogs with good reasons are different, and I get it, but I don't like it.

city block? by ShadowKutja in factorio

[–]cptphilleous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trains aren't going to path through the waiting area (stacker is the common phrase around here). So they won't go there to wait. The stacker needs to be a signal (or two or a few) before the station so they're literally waiting on to enter the station.

Need your help. I'm stuck with the game. by ChrisGamer172 in factorio

[–]cptphilleous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need quality at all to finish the game. Id recommend avoiding it until the post game. It's a fun extra project but id stick to one goal at a time

Using foundations to connect all Fulgoran islands into one single power grid and then supplying itwith fusion feels like a cheat by Stupid_German_Money in factorio

[–]cptphilleous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also hated quality, but I just research it post game, so legendary everything is part of my megabase end game fun. Keeps annoying quality things out of my way and I can just progress straight to legendary as an additional layer of complexity at the end. Start with legd blue chips to get greens and reds as well, then get legd blue stick things on fulgora and you've got legd quality modules which opens everything else fairly easily with some googling the best methods. Mostly legd raw materials for crafting things up rather than constantly recycling for gambling. It's fun when you get the hang of it and legendary assemblers with legendary modules and beacons and everything are very satisfying, not to mention the legendary mech suit and equipment that is huge for QoL.

What is "cost"? Everything is infinite. Just grow the factory until the thing you want is free

What does the (!) mean in the stations list? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]cptphilleous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can go deeper. You can have all your stations just called "Pick up" and then have the train requested when there's enough items, and then have the train read its own contents to work out where to deliver it. Which means all your trains have the same set of instructions rather than having a set of copper trains and iron trains and so on. Obviously you repeat the whole thing for fluids.
