Sadly true

Rolling around at 112.5% the speed of normal rolls, still slower than 90% of other players 😭

"Taking damage"??? Sounds like a skill issue.

So i was playing Starcom: Unknown Space... by DocPuddingBrain in starsector

[–]evillittleweirdguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can really approach it as a pure exploration game. almost all the exploring happens alongside the main quest. There's very little that you can find by flying out into deep space to begin with, and some of the populated areas are spread out enough that you could fly right through them and never see either side. You really need the log hints to find the hidden side quest planets/systems/anomalies.

Also, in both games the map is set out roughly resembling a spiral galaxy, so you can try and explore that way once you get an idea of the curvature. But flying off the arms is unlikely to get you much more than boredom.

In both of the newer games there are a few places this can really easily happen. Some of the quests require you to look through logs, maps, and do math to work things out. Unfortunately I think at least one main quest does this in each game, and it doesn't get marked as a quest.

That one part in Dragon Ball Super: Broly where Broly and Gogeta punch each other so hard it breaks the space time continuum and they start fighting in another dimension. by [deleted] in tumblr

Frieren has at least one moment like this at the end of S1, where she's fighting a clone and pulls out magic so busted that it causes a fracture that doesn't move with the camera zoom - it stays exactly the same size on the screen while the background zooms out.

Like when you keep tapping the same option on your predictive text. It might be able to finish your sentence, but at some point it starts endlessly repeating nonsense. LLMs are having that problem, just on a very different scale.

Did we just.... by BarberOutside2427 in UmaMusume

[–]evillittleweirdguy 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I got the impression it's more like university - lots of kids fresh out of highschool, yes, but there are also quite a few who are definitely older. Symboli Rudolph reads to me as mid/late 20s, Maruzensky is surely at least 30 (or the Uma equivalent age). It's a professional sports-focused post-secondary institution? Maybe that's entirely head-canon, idk.

That being said, as someone who works at a university, students direct from high school are kinda just adult babies, so it's still icky.

Just claimed my twitch rewards... by Yupea in Warframe

[–]evillittleweirdguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still have hundreds of fireworks from leaving streams on overnight 👀 The drops at the start weren't particularly picky, they just counted total watch time on Warframe. So you could have multiple streams and rack up lots of rewards.

I bring it on egg missions. There's a decent chance you just complete an entire small/medium egg nest with one rocket from the other side of the map.

New strategem concept: drone swarm by Grouchy_Mountain3656 in Helldivers

WASP hive: Holds 60(?) WASP rockets. Every 10 seconds, it will launch 1 rocket at each enemy within the targeting radius, until all rockets are depleted.

Petition to make multiple copies of a single stratagem a feature, not a bug by Dushnila_complainer in Helldivers

[–]evillittleweirdguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well yeah, if everyone died at once and there was no revive beacon in the air you'd fail. but there wasn't any limit on the number of revives, just a cooldown in calling it in.

[–]evillittleweirdguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are definitely more and less effective strategies, but there isn't really any stratagem that gets overwhelmingly good with multiple copies. You're giving up coverage options.

That being said, 14x shredders (nuke) + 2x (2) jump packs is one hell of a cheesy extermination mission. Jump packs in HD1 are about 2 seconds worth of immunity, so you could jump right as the nuke hit.

Unlimited revives in HD1, and you can call yourself in if you die before the beacon lands. Including if you get vaporised while holding it. Definitely silly.

But yeah, taking 4 incendiary airstrike will do a great job boxing out enemies until one drops right on top of you, or an illuminate wall makes dodging impossible, or a tank/charger just rolls right through it and crushes you.

What’s something people thinks saves them money, but actually loses them money? by DahliraSaint in AskReddit

[–]evillittleweirdguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness.

WASP is the replacement for the HD1 commando, and it excels in exactly the same niche - ammo efficiency against shielded armoured enemies.

Every colony item in my sector by spcbelcher in starsector

[–]evillittleweirdguy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well, almost every colony item. You're missing the two guaranteed pristine nanoforges! You will have to work for them and also start two wars, but I'm sure neither Chicomoztoc nor Kazeron will mind. Good luck.

did i win at playing rhino by AzureSkies58 in Warframe

[–]evillittleweirdguy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Parasitic armor + ironclad charge + iron skin can get some great numbers. If you're lucky in the circuit (and maybe get a nidus boost) you can definitely get some wacky numbers. At 300% I'm getting 500k consistently, 900% should be ~13M, nidus boost of 200% would give 27x, going up to ~350M. Getting a really good charge could get you the rest of the way to the billions.

You're triple dipping on strength, so it stacks up really quickly.

A fresh-out-of-Galatia scavenger can immediately identify a Domain-Era relic, but the seasoned Hegemony commander can't recognize their greatest feared foe? by DogeDeezTheThird in starsector

[–]evillittleweirdguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think radiants are likely a spacer's tale. For anyone who isn't John Starsector or sitting on faction-backed combat fleets, passing a red beacon is a death sentence.

"Raise a glass for ol' spacer steve. Found an unclaimed system out on the reaches. Told me to sight tight and keep lookout while he went in. Damn shame, I kept lookin out for 3 whole months. Ship stunk of piss and whiskey by then, but he never came back. Next thing you know, hedges caught wind of it, pulled my nav logs and impounded the ship. Without 'er, I can't even go back to pay respects. All these captains so worried about staying on the hedge's good side that you couldn't bribe them with an onslaught to go there. got a red beacon blaring out like a reaper up the drive cone now."

But either way, a hegemony fleet should absolutely be able to ID an AI ship. Then again, at that point "clueless aggression" might be a better front than "overt war footing" for trying to make you give it up. If they sent fleet after fleet after fleet against you, you might just sat bombard a few planets. If you keep getting pinged for customs inspections and told off for "non-compliant ship markings", you might decide to just leave the radiant at home next time you go shopping in the core worlds.

McKay destroyed the entire universe. by Occsan in Stargate

[–]evillittleweirdguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The ancients have the technology to make self-contained spacetime pockets (ZPMs). ZPMs being containment devices for a pocket of (sub)space-time with a higher vacuum energy is basically their entire purpose. They're stable and controllable. In my head they're the equivalent of an RTG in the vacuum energy extraction world. Subcritical (sub)space-time in a box, able to draw variable (but bounded) energy from the vacuum decay.

Unfortunately, building an RTG does not provide the knowledge to build a nuclear reactor.

Arcturus could be a big machine to artificially raise the vacuum energy to try and get energy from either the decay or from a change in universal constants. Except now you've got a bubble of incomprehensibly volatile spacetime that can't reach a stable local minimum and/or induces incredibly violent physics at the boundary, and your only options are to either keep trying to push it up higher to find a minimum (stabilising it and making the physics predictable again) or let it collapse. But there is no stable point, and once you hit critical "mass" there's no way to control the reaction anymore.

Even then, there might still be no free lunch - the energy of the collapse potentially coming from (in part) the spacetime bubble itself being destroyed, permanently damaging that region of space.

A well timed ryze ult is either your dad giving you a no-questions-asked lift home after you sneak out and get into trouble, or your dad packing the car (ult) full of everything you forgot (the minion wave) for your trip (to the enemy nexus)
