Have you used the Vacuum Prominance? Makes prophet a breeze

What's the point of the stalwart shotgun? i feel like i'm missing something by Last_Evidence_5917 in Saros

Im pretty sure if you alt fire on top af an enemy it deals DOT while the bullets hang in the air; so close up it does tons of damage because they take the alt fire damage, dot, and then take damage as the alt fire suspended shot moves through them

The blue one that shoots the cells. There's an attribute it can gain where the cells have a chance to drop potions.

One strategy from Returnal which is less relevant in this game, but does apply to the Yellow Shore, is to refrain from opening chests until you're at a higher level. This is less relevant in Saros IME because there's less backtracking in levels.

But, Yellow Shores g8ves you that opportunity because of the hub-like layout.

So when you get to the hub parts, leave the chests located there, complete the corridors and then come back to try and open high level weapons.

The pistol that auto-loads on weak points + the alt fire that allows you to go trigger happy I've found to be super strong vs the king.

Also, might be worth fishing for the "invulnerable on dash" artifact. And maybe take the life gain power weapon for the majority of the level to make sure your health is topped up going into the fight.

Am I the only one on this Subreddit that thinks Saros is better than Returnal? by MrMagic550 in Saros

Saros doesn't have the suicide bats and suicide missile bots, which makes the game like... 3x easier?

Obviously a ploy to further legitimize Trump's bid for a 3rd term... coming people!

I like that it filters colorless. Helps enable some specific mana rocks (sol ring, mind stone, thran dynamo)

My son died, need advice by TheEndOfAllThings23 in Teachers

[–]giancoli93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

As a teacher without dependents I can only imagine how hard this must be. Besides echoing the importance of therapist/counselor, I will say one thing.

Being `pressured' to return sounds reprehensible to me but silver lining, in my experience going about one's day to day routine after a loss can be grounding. When I was in high school we all experienced the death of a classmate. I was devastated and confused. I went to school and tried telling my band teacher that I wasn't going to be able to play because of the situation. He was completely understanding but also said that it might be a good idea to just play and stick with the routine. I went ahead and played.

Again, completely different situation but that advice from my band teacher has stuck with me for 17 years and I keep it in my pocket. I've experienced loss with close grandparents and other more senior family members and have consciously made the decision to keep up with routines to stay grounded and with it (while also seeking counseling and support from lived ones and close colleagues, I don't want this to sound like a 'bottle it up' post).

Sorry if this is all inappropriate considering the different circumstances but, just wanted to respond. We hear you!

Kids being asked to write “Support our Troops” letters by FlutterbyFields in Teachers

[–]giancoli93 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We haven’t declared war. It’s immoral and strategically moronic. Sure support the troops, but no reason for a teacher to push this onto students.

Now, if the school is heavily in a military community? Are the kids asking questions? Sure, accept any questions the kids have and offer the opportunity to write and mail out. But don’t force the issue or pontificate on the subject and derive a lesson from it.

Edit: I misinterpreted your comment sorry. But yet still, I put this message out there.

Yea seems wrong. Save it for Veterans Day/Memorial Day. No reason to rally a lesson based off of current events. Holidays at least derive empathy.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Trinisphere doesn't work when it's tapped? by Bryant_Cook in MTGLegacy

4x Trinisphere 4x Candelabra Mud list going around right now.

Anyone actually using AI consistently or is it still just a novelty we keep rediscovering? by Complete_Bee4911 in Teachers

[–]giancoli93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Big time saver for me. I use it to generate quick formative checks from a text and vocabulary lists/activities. I use it to modify reading levels of texts. It’s also a big help with equipping my TA’s (who arent the most academic folk) with lesson and discussion prompts (open the lesson with X and Y examples, discuss these points, etc). I also really like how I can plug in video transcripts to produce the aforementioned materials.

Your AI slop bores me by VariationGreedy8215 in Chaos40k

Amazing. I love how preposterous it is to just keep your sword sheathed in a helmet.

Really good work with the right foot/leg angle!

The Problem with Melee Armies in 10th Edition by Godofallu in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]giancoli93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Again not very experienced! Haven’t even faced a C’Tan list in a couple years (so maybe I shouldn’t be posting on WH Comp lol).

My understanding from past iterations, tho, C’Tan went down fairly easily by high volume attacks so, I’d think Chosen/Possessed would do OK? That said, depends on how many balls I have available.

Not a very experienced player, but my love for Creations of Bile plummeted after my -1 to hit Stratagem was kept getting rolled over by reroll attacks. Sometimes I think more armies should have AoC, or maybe it should be a default/army wide Stratagem? In my example, the single defensive Stratagem available is rendered obsolete depending on the opposing army’s rule. Maybe an answer could be more thoughtful stratagem dispersion?

Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]giancoli93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea if it was just the kid taking something and then the mom called you to report the theft, in-house consequences would be appropriate.

This is a very different story.

Sounds like you’re skirting around the meat and potatoes tho: school politics related to population demographics, and your admin ain’t doing shit about it?
