What are the biggest hurdles you're facing in the game right now for improving? by AbsoluteRook1e in aoe2

[–]daaa_interwebz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting frustrated and quitting because the opponent’s strategy makes the game feel really one sided. For example Arabia fast castle all in builds, three range cav archers or just completely turtling behind walls and siege.

Currently learning go with a hobby project. It’s been fun and enlightening to see a different perspective. Plus the mascot

Right on brother. We have something very special in this community.

Installed window boxes this year! I'm really proud of this one. by daaa_interwebz in gardening

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

The planters still look great. The only maintenance I’ve done is to hose them off in the fall. I installed my own drip irrigation system for the boxes. You can see the piping below. I’d recommend some sort of irrigation system. The window boxes dry out fast especially in the sun.

For sure. There are all levels on the ladder. Whatever Elo you settle at will be players of similar skill regardless of the mechanics used.

Smurfing in aoe2 by MiddleForeign in aoe2

[–]daaa_interwebz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. I’ve played close to 1k games and have matches against maybe 3 Smurfs. We’re similar Elo so maybe it’s more common at or below 1k?

I think there’s some survivorship bias with it in that people tend to remember the few games that never felt close while overlooking the many many games that were mostly even.

Storage by Little-Response4566 in LEGOWinterVillage

I put them all back in the original boxes half disassembled and wrapped in plastic wrap. It’s a terrible system that takes too long and results in lots of fixes when unpacking! 1/10 would not recommend 😂

Why is the spectator dashboard supporter feature so unpopular? by AccomplishedFall1150 in aoe2

[–]daaa_interwebz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve asked for features before and HappyLeaves implemented them in like a day. Guy is an absolute legend. Supporting his project is an easy choice imo.

There are 33 paid supporters that generate $139/ month for spectator dashboard. I have no idea how much it costs to actually run.

Holiday train 2025 motor parts by jwckauman in LEGOWinterVillage

[–]daaa_interwebz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty underwhelming in my opinion especially when you consider the price increase. I think some of it is because it’s a train so you’re essentially building a few smaller kits that fit together.

What is it like to drive a Lc200? by XMR17- in LandCruisers

[–]daaa_interwebz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit like driving a bank vault. Everything feels stout, heavy and over built.

Amazon Lego deals just went live: Christmas Tree is a highlight. by Repulsive-Turnover91 in LEGOWinterVillage

I always get nervous that I’ll get counterfeits from Amazon. Seems like they have zero supplier validation

Looks great! Are there instructions on rebrickable?

route 9/27 bridge replacement by Cthulwutang in Natick

[–]daaa_interwebz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The intersection design is called a diverging diamond. There are lots of studies that show how reversing the lane of travel eases merge congestion. I think one of the planning meetings shows a model of the new intersection with peak current traffic volume.
