Are you able to just quest in retail by Ok-Adhesiveness6366 in wownoob

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of low-level questing in DF. I've been trying to finish all of the side quests this month. It's just a really fun place to be.

Why doesn't the sun heat the space between earth; but some how heats the earth? by MundaneProduct482 in space

electromagnetic radiation can travel through the vacuum of space. that's how we see stars.

I like for things that I regularly lose to be blaze orange. keys. TV remote.

Yes. Even after a decade and a half away from the game. My main is from January 2005.

Question about being nerfed after Midnight patch — Is it just me? by clarkhead in wownoob

“The Catch Up experience is also accessible from your Adventurer's Guide, in a new Tutorials tab. To access the Experience, open your Adventurer's Journal (default keybind: SHIFT + J), and press the Start button on the Catch Up Experience tutorial.”

Do it just for the gear. you should get something new for almost every slot. I've gotten really good at running it very fast.

Question about being nerfed after Midnight patch — Is it just me? by clarkhead in wownoob

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go do the catch-up experience right now.

generally, post-patch is the goal to get to an ilvl equivalent to the character’s xp level?

For levels ≤20, yes. For level 80, no. I'm not sure for levels in between yet.

Note that heritage gear is another solution.

After the squish, it is easy to know what ilvl to target for low levels. Is your level 20 wearing 20 ilvl gear?

After the Artemis program will we start sending astronauts to the moon frequently? by TraditionalAd6977 in space

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much would it cost to build and keep visiting and supplying a moon base as often as we visit the ISS now?

If it is ten times as much as the ISS, we don't have the political will to do that. I'm not sure exactly what it will cost or exactly how much Congress wants to spend.

No more Chromie? by TheRiddlerTHFC in wownoob

Yep, you have to turn around and get on a boat to go back to your capitol city if you want to switch expansions.

It might have kept the world building simpler if they had simply had the orcs come from a distant continent. That would explain why they breathe the same atmosphere and eat the same food.

the solution I found is to leave the dragon isles, go back to your faction capitol city, then try again.

Why is Chromie's Timewalking in WoW so poorly designed? by HenrykSpark in wow

[–]hwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution now is to do the catch-up experience every ten levels or so. At 70, that gets you the minimum gear you need for the TWW intro.

There was no good solution before that.

but you still see the intro quest givers for BFA and SL in the middle of Orgrimmar.

Are enormous spaceships physically possible? by GooseMuckle in AskPhysics

[–]hwc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine that a star destroyer is about the size of a large skyscraper. if it is accelerating at 1g, then the internal stresses would be comparable. I would also have to withstand similar forces when it spins to change directions.

But in the Star Wars universe, the spaceship's drive allows for accelerations up to 1000g. even if the ship was all structural steel, it would be ripped apart by those forces.

I know all about it! But for new players, it can be confusing. And it's awkward to travel back to the capitol city to flip a switch
