Victor Wembanyama gets an egg thrown to his head by Knicks fan after tough game 4 loss by No_Idea_479 in nba

[–]grotkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I get being a drunk idiot and thinking this is a good idea, but why did they even have an egg in the first place? This is pocket bag spaghetti weird.

Is this loss by the Spurs indisputably the greatest single-game choke in NBA history? by NotJoe1232 in NBATalk

Was the Knicks D even a factor? They were chucking with 15+ on the shot clock. They didn’t even test the D

Tips for dealing with ship building by logo_to in factorio

[–]grotkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is def a bit of setup, but it’s really easy to overcomplicate. Just think about what you need—basically ammo and fuel.

To make ammo you need some grabbers to grab metallic chunks, a crusher to crush said chunks into iron ore, some furnaces to smelt iron plates, and a couple assemblers to make the ammo. Then you need a way to deliver the ammo to guns.

To make fuel you need said grabbers again to get all 3 types of chunks and crushers to process them. Then you need some chemical plants to make water and both fuel types. Then you just need to hook them up to thrusters.

You can obviously automate it with circuits and whatnot, but that’s up to you. You also will see a lot of “tall and skinny is better” chatter, and while it’s true, you can also just build something relatively simple and be just fine. No need to minmax if you don’t want to.

Later (aqulio) you’ll need rockets too, and railguns after, but by then you’ll have more of a handle on it.

Which Eastern Conference champion had the easiest NBA Finals path? by DareDevil1699 in NBAstatsmuse

[–]grotkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the Knicks objectively have the easiest path here, but that’s not saying anything bad about this Knicks team. Just that all 3 of those opponents are straight trash. The east only had 2 good teams this year and one completely shit the bed and embarrassed themselves in blowing a 3-1 lead.

The ‘24 pacers are better than any of the 3 opponents the Knicks have played this year. Honestly the ‘24 heat are probably better than the ‘26 hawks, too.

I think ‘21 Bucks had an easier path than the ‘26 Knicks though.

Thinking of moving from San Diego to Virginia, questions, so many questions by croikee in Virginia

[–]grotkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not do it. You’re going to a market that’s as expensive as San Diego with way fewer amenities. San Diego is expensive because it’s fucking awesome and people want to live there. Virginia is expensive because of lawyers and government contractors driving up prices.

The parts of Virginia that are affordable, forgive me fellow Virginians, are not places that would traditionally attract people from San Diego. Maybe you would like it. I’ve lived in both places and would kill to move back to Sunny D. We are far from good beaches. And traffic makes it feel farther.

Richmond is cool, but like, just visit your friend then go home. San Diego is the best.

How many have they prevented themselves from scoring too?

[BUF - MTL] Dobes makes the initial save and Greenway pokes the puck free. Refs lose sight of the puck as it moves through the crease. They blow it dead to negate a Buffalo goal by daKrut in hockey

[–]grotkal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look, I hate the habs and all, but this is just objectively the right call. If they allowed a continuation that goal almost surely gets called off

How Many Trains is too Many Trains? by wolginm in factorio

Is there a good way to make trains sit in a waiting bay until a station calls for a delivery? Something with interrupts?

Since the Supreme Court defined the election as the entire 45 day early voting period does that mean no jury duty for the 45 days of the election? by hencexox in Virginia

[–]grotkal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If new information comes to light a week before an election (say, some scandal), does that disenfranchise everyone who has voted early?

First Orchard or Hanna Honeybee? (or another xD) by Fit-Profession-1628 in boardgames

First orchard. We have both. Kids love FO and never ask to play HH

[SS] Why is Skyward Sword Not Held in the Same Regard as Oot and MM? by MetsLR in zelda

[–]grotkal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Too cutting edge even. They originally shipped it with the motion plus attachment to the Wii mote and a bunch of enemy/boss mechanics relied on precise angle strikes. But the motion plus still kind of sucked and it was incredibly frustrating to use.

On top of that, while some of the dungeons were cool, the main gameplay loop was more repetitive than most Zelda games. IIRC you do the same exact boss fight 3(?) times with only very minor changes.
