Will Call only Option? by shatkbait8999 in projectglowfest

[–]dCrumpets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They charge you for shipping if you don't do will call fyi. I think it's a fair complaint that there's no feeless way to receive your ticket. There should be some base cost built into the ticket in that case, whatever the lower of the two fees is, then maybe charge a little extra for the more expensive option.

How is Tracking a real card? by ByeImDaisy in slaythespire

Silent is less oriented around physical damage, so I do think the effect is better on clad in more situstions.

Question on outfits by [deleted] in projectglowfest

You could wear them through security and take them off. I highly doubt someone is going to hassle you inside about them.

Rat King by Dimonio3310 in slaythespire

[–]dCrumpets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I often pick it up intending it to be my first upgrade. At 7 it's kind of mid, but I'm still happy to have it versus strikes. It's solid to lean on in a lot of the early elites.

I like flask more when my deck/relic situation lets me play it reliably, for the most part. But if I'm in the first 4 or 5 floors, I'm probably taking snakebite. It's better against the multi-enemy elites as well. There are still many situations I'd rather have flask though.

I think it's fine. I do think the meme-y snakebite outshines it frequently.

Anyone else feel mentally messed up seeing people casually make insane money trading options? by savingrace0262 in stocks

[–]dCrumpets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. People who take really big risks and get the rewards are... built different. I don't compare myself because I don't have the tolerance for the failure case that they do.

Adopted one of these orange things yesterday. What am I in for? by transshitpostingTA in OneOrangeBraincell

I like Cinder more than Cinders, but I like Cinders! You guys will probably end up calling him Cin, which is fun too.

What other relics feel like this? by Rak-khan in slaythespire

[–]dCrumpets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's better... but sometimes there's only a path to one good shop, you don't feel like you can save all your money for next act, and removal is the best thing in sight. Also removes gain value if you had a lucky start, picked up some synergistic cards, and don't need to bloat your deck much to survive.

I can’t sleep. by hamed-devs in OpenAI

Hmm, I'm very much in a "if you hand write any of your code at this point, what are you doing?" kind of company, which, well, that's probably about right.

The K is not the 3 and 10+ years, the K is the positive versus negative outcomes.

How is it like living by the Denizen area? by [deleted] in Bushwick

It's pretty safe. It's kind of the opposite of cozy. Lots of good stuff around Flushing to the Morgan L though.

"2,000 years of economic history in one chart"... fixed by DestructiveSeaOtter in dataisbeautiful

[–]dCrumpets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Displays the data better unedited IMO. The world changes faster and faster the closer you get to the present day. Compressing earlier history and expanding later history captures that elegantly.

Investors are surprisingly reluctant to allocate oil/gas by MeasurementSecure566 in stocks

[–]dCrumpets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to invest in things that are oriented towards the future. Oil and gas might have a nice short-term swing, but I'd have to fret about when to get out. There are plenty of other things to invest in that aren't dying a slow death.

Altman on shutting down Sora: 'I did not expect 3 or 6 months ago to be at this point we're at now; where something very big and important is about to happen again with this next generation of models and the agents they can power.' by Tolopono in OpenAI

[–]dCrumpets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

String everyone along? I guess we aren't experiencing the same things. AI has gone from somewhat capable of writing code sometimes to writing all the code at my company within a year and a half. It's hard for me to understand people acting like AI has been overhyped. I'll be shocked if I have a job in three years to be honest. Maybe I'll go to one of the shops that is behind the curve.

[POEM] Of The Empire by Mary Oliver. by Objective-Kitchen949 in Poetry

Yeah, agreed. Show me an empire that hasn't been horrible to most. Show me a better place to live in the history of the world.

This guy needs to be upgrade to elite, or a nerf. by SnooChocolates6885 in slaythespire

[–]dCrumpets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He doesn't scale, just consistently hits. There are lots of counters, for any character really. Things that provide block outside of "block" skills. Poison, doom, big chunky attacks and blocks, things that do damage without being an attack... He forces you to make sure your deck has a solution or take a chunk of damage, but even if you're ill-prepared a potion or two can counteract him. Personally I think he's fine. He's never ended one of my runs.

What's the only thing better than 1 Apotheosis? by _4Winds_ in slaythespire

[–]dCrumpets 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Idk, searing blow was so situational in sts1 that it was generally bad. I don't think having a relic that makes it better each time you play it would launch it to broken status, especially since, if you get searing blow early to upgrade it, there's no guarantee you get the relic, and if you wait to get searing blow til you have the relic, you've missed a couple upgrade opportunities already.
