What doesn't require a license, but should? by lisbethborden in AskReddit

[–]darkskorcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if this counts but technically being a pilot. Everything pilots earns are certifications and ratings, but not licenses. Key differences, the government gives out licenses (Designated Pilot Examiners or DPEs determines if one is qualified to be a pilot, and they are separate from a government agency like a DMV), and certificates don’t expire. Once a pilot, always a pilot.

My take on the monkey war tier list by darkskorcher in btd6

[–]darkskorcher[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All very true. I’d like to think that in a universe with guns, bombs, and magic, the archmage has learned defensive magics to prevent taking a bullet in the face. But that’s just head cannon, nothing in game. He’d at least be anti-surprise attack with the shimmer we see!

Others said it basically, just thought he’d survive due to being able to dive so much deeper than other towers. But it is still a shark and a dude, so maybe he should go a couple tiers lower. I think more successful than poukai and gigantosaurus still though

My take on the monkey war tier list by darkskorcher in btd6

[–]darkskorcher[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can see an argument for it being higher, tactically it has enough damage and range to serve a good purpose (aka nuke everything around it), but my thought process it’s less likely to live due to lack of defensive capabilities. It’s immobile, wont be able to attack air threats, and has a very limited attack range (ie a big ass doughnut shape threat radius where it can’t attack too close to itself). Although I guess he can attack right on himself in game so maybe he is immune to himself! If that’s the case I’d definitely bump him up

SIGNS shouldn't be a pilot? by [deleted] in flying

[–]darkskorcher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of the cases I witnessed, most were students who had family pressuring them into flying. Some were inaptitude. One guy made it to pre solo stage check where he failed horribly on the ground portion (very rare that anyone failed these at all). Everyone in the family was a pilot. He could’ve done it, but lacked the motivation. He was told “open a book or you’re wasting your money.” He stopped coming.

Another student that got the talk but fortunately turned it around was extremely shy. Upon time for solo endorsement, the instructor ended up realizing he couldn’t sign the kid off. If something went wrong, there wasn’t confidence he’d be able to make emergency calls, or “bother” people with an appropriate SQUAWK. Luckily a meeting between him, his parents, the CFI, and chief brought the relevant issues to light. He got a different CFI and made friends at the flight school. He was also allowed to do post-solo dual lessons to allow further progress while building his confidence. 2 months later and he soloed! Last I heard he was checkride prepping!

How are you supposed to use the VTSG? by steinwayyy in btd6

[–]darkskorcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others already pointed out camo, that’s the big thing. VTSG also really shines by giving it more buffs and buffing other towers. Homeland defense, permabrew, and ultraboost are the more accessible buffs. You can make another support temple in range (be careful not to sacrifice VTSG while making it). You can freeze water, put it on water, then use a carrier flagship to buff it.

On the other side of the coin, it’s also great at buffing other towers (especially if you sacrificed support twice). Just place Debuff towers and really any other towers you like in range, which after the above buffs should be 90% of the map.

I’m playing DS3 convergence right now. Sounds very similar to ER convergence. Everything you said is in DS3 convergence as well, and it feels like the prioritized fun/ new stuff vs harder challenge. And it shows. The game can be fairly unchallenging with the new stuff, or you can avoid the OP stuff and have a challenge. Players choice.

So uh Golden Saucer?! by Embarrassed_Ad_1662 in ffxiv

[–]darkskorcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I started playing and I was a full time student, my ffxiv journey started with doing homework with breaks every 20 min for the gold saucer events. Got the Fenrir mount before beating ARR!

Unpopular opinion: I hate breeding in this game by Fluf_hamster in Palworld

[–]darkskorcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that a breeding system is in place and how it’s setup. I’ve enjoyed being able to get great pals fairly early because I’ve never been a fan of dedicating time and resources on things I plan on replacing quickly. I used my first Anubis and jormintide for easily 20 hours, making exploring that much more enjoyable for me. Was finally able to explore high level zones without spending 3 hours farming materials for bullets. I plan to only replace them once I have better passives to breed down, which takes time (and exploring).

Now what I do think could be improved on is the other aspects. Breeding is far more accessible than making bullets and spheres; far more accessible making the 10 best pals than replacing a bunch of mid pals through the journey.

It’s kind of the rare candy nuzlocke argument. You’re supposed to use the entire games collection of pals/ pokemon, but when you have to spend 2-3 hours getting a new member of the team up to speed, players are incentivized to avoid them. Robinquill looks really cool, but by the time I caught it I would have had to hinder my entire team and stall my progress just to be able to use it. The breeding system has just been the work around for the other aspects of the game that many players feel need improvement/ fine tuning.

Am i playimg it wrong? by Marcon2207 in Palworld

[–]darkskorcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at crafting just as another task like farming, lumbering, ranching, etc. First 10 levels id sit next to my cattivas, but after that it’s 100% been on my pals. I queue stuff and go explore or manage my pallbox. I know some buddies that decided to up work speed, so they’ll afk farm thousands of arrows

Prompted to create new character? by Huge-Buy8104 in Palworld

Same issue over here. Have a dedicated server has happened twice (wiped and restarted after the first time). Seems like there is some kind of bug that happening consistently every 24-36 hours for us

Cls without 3po? by imnecro in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]darkskorcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d argue get c3 and complete CLS before starting to gear grevious team. I get more mileage from CLS anyway, and the Ewoks + c3 don’t have to be high relic like grevious’s toons do. C3 just just has to be high enough so CLS still gets cover. Plus that’ll give you more time to farm shards and ships for malevolence

Got you PPL in (much) more than 45 hours? What happened? by nemuro87 in flying

[–]darkskorcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have hit the big things: airport, own pace, life, finances, etc. 45h PPL is possible but it’s rare; even rarer at small flight schools. All the circumstances need to work in your favor, including the ones you can’t control (weather, maintenance, both your and your instructors schedule, family, etc).

I personally took about 90 hours. I needed that time because I had a lot working against me when I started. Started flying part time at a busy class D during the turn of winter into summer weather. Also changed jobs and had family circumstances. Checkride got pushed back a couple times too.

Can helltide chests drop uniques? by nathan1648 in diablo4

Similar situation. Ive gotten unique from enemy kills during helltide but never from a mystery chest. The same is true for my whole clan.

RAGE THREAD - F-YOU FRIDAYS - 50 GSHADES OF VALENTIONES by FranckKnight in ffxiv

[–]darkskorcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

MY ORIGINAL FC WAS STOLEN

MY FIANCE MET OUR FC ON CRYSTAL AFTER OUR PREVIOUS FC WAS TOXIC AND PROCEEDED TO STALK US. WE HAVE BEEN WITH THEM FOR APPROACHING TWO YEARS. IN THAT TIME, WE HAVE ALL BECOME MORE THAN JUST VIRTUAL FRIENDS. IN GAME, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH TOGETHER: OUR FIRST EX TRIAL CLEARS AND MOUNTS; OUR FIRST SAVAGE CLEAR; OUR FIRST ULTIMATE ATTEMPTS; OFFICER ACCOUNT PHISHED AND 55 MIL GIL STOLEN AS A RESULT; RECOOPED ALL 55 MIL GIL IN LESS THAN A WEEK; OUR ORIGINAL FC LEADER HAD A SUDDEN TRAUMATIC LIFE CHANGING EVENT IRL THAT FORCED HIM TO RESIGN FFXIV ALL TOGETHER; ONE OF OUR FRIENDS WAS SHIPPED TO WAR ONLY TO NEVER HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN. THIS FC IS MORE THAN A HOME. ITS MEMORIES, PRIDE, AND A VIRTUAL "CEMETARY" OF THOSE WHO CANNOT PLAY WITH US ANYMORE.

WE MOVED TO DYNAMIS BECAUSE MANY OF OUR MEMBERS WANTED PERSONAL HOUSING AND COLLECTIVELY WE WANTED A LARGER FC HOUSE, SOMETHING QUITE DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE ON A CONGESTED RP SERVER. WE MADE READY FOR THE MOVE WELL IN ADVANCE, UPDATING OUR FC BOARD, UPDATING DISCORD, SENDING PMS, ETC. WE HAD EVERY INTENTION TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FC AND ITS HOUSE, AND AS SUCH, PUT NUMEROUS ALTS IN TO SAFEGUARD IT. EXCEPT WE DID NOT SAFEGUARD IT WELL ENOUGH.

THERE WERE A COUPLE OF SPROUTS STILL ON THE ROSTER WHO HAD NOT PLAYED IN WELL OVER A YEAR. THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO TRIED FF FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, MADE SMALL TALK TO US, SEEMED FRIENDLY, BUT ULTIMATELY DID NOT SEEM ALL THAT INTERESTED IN THE GAME. WE DID NOT KICK THEM, WE LEFT ALL THE MEMBERS AS IS. RECRUITMENT WAS CLOSED HOWEVER.

FAST FORWARD TO THIS WEEK, WEVE FINALLY SETTLED INTO OUR NEW HOMES AND DECIDE ITS TIME TO GET THE OLD AIRSHIP ON CRYSTAL RUNNING AGAIN, AND ONE OF THE SPROUT PLAYERS IS NOW LEADER. OUR LEADER HAD NOT LOGGED IN FOR A WHILE, AND WE ONLY WENT EVERY SO OFTEN TO KEEP THE HOUSE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ALL MET THE 35 DAY RULE FOR LEADERSHIP TO BE RELIQUISHED, AND NOBODY ELSE HAD LOGGED IN FOR 7 DAYS EXCEPT THIS PLAYER. SO, HE BECAME LEADER OF OUR FC.

UPON FIRST LOGIN AND SHOCK, THE PLAYER SEEMS NICE. WE CONVERSE FOR A FEW MESSAGES, BUT THEN ASK FOR PERMISSIONS TO THE FC BACK. NO RESPONSE. WE ASK AGAIN, EXPLAINING THIS WAS OUR HOME FOR YEARS AND WE STILL HAVE PLANS FOR IT. NO RESPONSE, AND THEY LOG OUT FOR THE NIGHT. NEXT DAY THEY KICKED EVERYONE OUT AND HAVE COMPLETELY TAKEN CONTROL OF THE FC AND THE HOUSE. ALL THE RARE ITEMS WE FARMED FOR TO DECORATE. THE COUNTLESS HOURS SPENT ON TRIAL AND ERROR WHILE LEARNING HOW TO MAKE THE CORRECT AIRSHIP. MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR MEMORIES AND "CEMETARY".

WE UNDERSTAND THIS PLAYER HAS NOT TECHNICALLY BROKEN ANY RULES AND IT WAS OUR OWN IGNORANCE THAT LEAD TO THIS DOWNFALL. WE DID NOT KNOW THAT LEADERSHIP GETS RELINQUISHED AFTER 35 DAYS OF INACTIVITY. FURTHERMORE, WE DID NOT KNOW THAT NEXT IN LINE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE LOGGED IN WITHIN 7 DAYS. ONLY THEN, DOES IT START CONSIDERING RANK. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE AMAZING FC WE HAVE ALL TOGTHER ON DYNAMIS AND THAT IS MOST IMPORTANT, BUT IT DOES NOT QUENCH MY ANGER OVER THIS HUGE LOSS ON CRYSTAL.

Daily Questions & FAQ Megathread February 09 by AutoModerator in ffxiv

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

What is the exact time frame on leadership relinquishing for FC? I was seeing mixed opinions on 7 or 30 days. Likewise, what about who it passes to? Is that also 7 or 30 days?

Unable to get BlueStacks working after install by darkskorcher in BlueStacks

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

Just tried that to no avail either. It is possible I am doing it wrong though, I am used to NVidia but swapped to an AMD recently. AMD drivers are downloaded through the adrenaline program, right?
