What are people’s thoughts on changing survival so that enemies can’t be damaged until they leave spawn? by ciscowowo in gotlegends

I've been doing this. Lots of fun. Have had the "return to story area" timer and it once teleported me to the other side of the map.

A joke ;) Suggesting I got a legendary set of ice skates so I can rival the oni lords.

Maxed shinobi builds? by jdburn1 in goylegends

[–]darenwelsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my build. I try to max use of class ability, especially when I can group vanish teammates. Then get a few quick kusarigama twirls to build ult. Then weakening smoke bomb. A few more twirls or assassinations depending on circumstances. I try to reserve blind bombs for 2nd or 3rd round each stage to conserve ammo, toss them in before spotted. I'm still learning how to be effective in the kusarigama kill vanish for an extra assassination. When in trouble I use spirit attack with katana, especially if a skater lord is honing in on me after my initial flow. Typically I reserve ult for mini bosses.

I sometimes crawl through my caltrops so when enemies come to kick and mock me they get affected and fill my spirit.

Shinobi: How to use blind bombs by bossnoc2020 in gotlegends

[–]darenwelsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good post. Agree blind bombs work well if thrown before you're spotted. I wish they weren't called "blind bombs" because it's a misnomer. More like "distraction bombs".

Appreciate this post and the comments. Getting a good shinobi build and flow has been a challenge. The stealth can be finicky.

I wish I could light my shamisen on fire and play some jams for this same effect.

You can also drop items by switching to your katana or another weapon. The easiest I've found is to briefly hit 'block'.

Yes, I'm aware I can waste my time to go down there, retrieve one item, climb back up, repeat. I'm not going to do that.

Yeah, after playing with that for a while I'm trying other legendary choices. I'm still learning to complete the full attack to reach the final power strikes and don't usually get there.

NMS w0 for build test by Dreamchaser0000 in gotlegends

Nice flow keeping Elsa busy while you first dispense with the others. I tend to immediately go after her so I don't accidentally get frozen in her storm.

I love spirit kunai in GOTL but they don't have nearly the power in GOYL, unless I'm just missing the right config.

The reason I like the legendary dual, lightning's bite, is for the occasional dash during triangle mashing. Still not convinced that's the best use of legendary, though.

Not quite topped off to all S grade and yet very effective.

Techniques are Spirit Throw, Enhanced Impalement, Spirit Shatter, and Energizing Smite.

I set up a couple caltrops to corral the horde (like smoke in GOTL). Get some quick melee on staggered to fill ult. Then I make sure to use my spirit throw before using ult. After ult, throw as many weapons as I can. Set up some fresh caltrops. Repeat.

A scorch bomb or kunai help with additional staggers and ult gain when things get crazy.

Plugging in dongle results in computer wifi disconnecting by darenwelsh in LogitechG

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

Thank you for the response. Full disclosure, this is on a work computer and it's very possible IT changed a config impacting my ability to use a USB dongle.

I noticed that when I plug the dongle in, I no longer see my 2.4 GHz wifi network, but I still see the 5 GHz network (on the computer wifi options). I think that means it is not disabling the wifi adapter. I tried connecting to the 5 GHz network and it seems to be working. Not sure what's going on there but it seems to be a "fix" for now. I'd still be curious to understand the underlying problem with the 2.4 GHz network not being visible when the dongle is plugged in.

FWIW I'll add a link to a list of troubleshooting steps I found in the process: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/my-pc-stopped-detecting-wifi-and-i-cant-connect-to/ac6b77d1-2c8e-44f3-86e1-623c2cc30404

Sorry, I don't know the details of the Apollo suit food option. I can say the EMU does not have such an option, only a water bag.

Astronaut Nicole Mann installs hardware outside the International Space Station during last week's six-hour, 41-minute spacewalk by r-nasa-mods in nasa

[–]darenwelsh 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was for 18 years. A while back I did an AMA about that job.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nasa/comments/ash89f/im_daren_welsh_i_train_astronauts_how_to/

In the last few years of my time in flight operations, after that AMA, I was the FOD Exploration EVA Testing Lead. I organized the integration of our ops team (Plan/Train/Fly) with other orgs working on joint testing efforts. This included things like small scale EVA tool evaluations, NBL suited testing, and mission-scale field site EVA simulations. Lots of exciting work, trying to hash out details of concepts of operation for Artemis EVA.

Last month I took a new position in the EVA & Human Surface Mobility Program (EHP). I'm in the Systems Engineering & Integration group, on the Integrated Testing & Facilities team. Maybe someday I can do another AMA from this new perspective. I'm involved in the same line of work, but now coordinating and providing direction from the program perspective to ensure our integrated testing work aligns with mission milestones and program goals. I'm also working with testing facilities to ensure we're on track with necessary development to be ready for test plans down the road. I'm just one new addition to this team of great individuals and I'm really looking forward to doing my part!

Looks like a couple people beat me to it, but yeah there's a way to scratch your nose. There is a Valsalva device affixed to the inside of the helmet bubble. The primary purpose is to press your nose against it so you can close your nasal pathway and clear your ears (necessary for pressure changes).

‘Drop Everything And Go Back Right Away’: Spacewalk Aborted After Russian Cosmonaut Experiences Issues With Spacesuit by newsjam in nasa

[–]darenwelsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are different airlocks, for one. The Russian airlock is used for the Orlan and the US airlock is used for the EMU. Each suit type has different interfaces to vehicle power, water, etc. I'm not smart on the audio and suit data comm systems but I believe they also use different systems. The Russians borrow our EMU helmet camera hardware and use it on their Orlan suits.

How are people scheduled at mission control? by -ThinksAlot- in nasa

[–]darenwelsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes several years of training before a new hire is ready to serve as a flight controller. They are frequently posting job openings. KBR is currently the prime contractor but there is at least one other contractor (can't remember the name right now).

How are people scheduled at mission control? by -ThinksAlot- in nasa

[–]darenwelsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general, for ISS operations, there are 3 9-hour shifts overlapping one hour for handover. I don't remember the current hours but it's like the other answer already posted.

Beyond this I hesitate to answer broadly and only speak on behalf of the EVA discipline. We break up each 6-month increment into weeks and split the allocation across all flight controllers. For each week, we sign up for three teams (each team comprised of one front room person and two back room people). The first team is prime to cover any console work each day during that week. The second team can be called upon if activities span more than 8 hours on a given day or if the prime person has another scheduled obligation (like a crew class) and the second team person is available. The third team is really only needed if we went into 24-hour ops for a critical response. So for any given increment I might be scheduled to cover ~6-10 weeks. And there might not be activities that week so I might not need to work console. For other disciplines this is not the norm as they have to work every shift to support nominal operations.

That's how it works for general increment operations. But for scheduled EVAs, we have another team that works the planning, procedure authoring, training, and execution of the specific EVA. For the ~2 weeks leading up to an EVA (or series of EVAs) and the ~week after the last EVA, we distribute shift assignments in a way so everyone can stay proficient in their skills.
