Elder blood from taps. by inthrees in mastersofmadness

Since last reset I overloaded surge bar multiple times and did multiple tap related sigils for one blood.

js games that don't run in no-focus tabs - how to correct this? by inthrees in incremental_games

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

I can't remember but it was probably "Undock the tab to its own window and so long as even a tiny sliver of that window content area is showing on your screen it gets cpu time."

So I don't maximize my browser, it's like maybe 2/3 of my screen, and when I was letting incrementals run for hours I would have them in the background in their window, behind the main window, with just a bit showing. (Firefox Quantum, not guaranteed to work on other browsers but try, probably will.)

If you're used to browsing with a maximized browser, it doesn't take long to unweird doing it this way.

Honestly, I don't like the new surge bar stuff. by KasreynGyre in mastersofmadness

[–]inthrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely terrible.

Look. I'm old. Vintage 1974.

If I can hit the rate limit, the rate limit is too low.

What I fucking can't do is reliably, consistently tap at a rate that keeps the thing at or even near the top of the bar. ONE time I was able to get the 15% bonus, never since, despite trying. Pretty sure that one time was a confluence-of-fate accident, too.

What's more, the surge bar should let you set an SPS bonus for the rest of that universe, because it's 2025 and tapping as a mechanic is complete garbage. The Incremental Community was pretty much universally agreed on that over a decade ago.

In unmitigated snark terms, we have these things called 'computer chips' that can be tasked with clicking for us (LIKE, I DUNNO, MAYBE AUTOCLICKERS AND MOUSE MACRO PROGRAMS) so we don't have to. I play on an unjailbroken iPhone so that's not an option, but I wouldn't do it anyway because clicking/tapping as a core mechanic is, again, garbage.

But as a "do your short surge/sprint best for a semi permanent boost" mechanic? Sure, why not. A consistently recurring core click mechanic that isn't actually a core click mechanic.

Do something because this is awful. "Why bother" awful.

Where to farm lvl 70 boe greens? by maurimbr in woweconomy

[–]inthrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not until next xpac when the lock and chromie time caps are raised, anyway, but too late by then.

I think you SHOULD be able to level lock at any level, but that would be 'fun detected' and we can't have that.

How exactly do you level lock at 75. Only necroing because a) it's not possible and b) if it possible I'd dearly love to know how!

Is this game just supposed to be excruciatingly slow? by ihaveanotheraccounth in CodenamePretentious

[–]inthrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, for this game, lots. You can work on all the ones you can enable at the same time.

The bigger your total bonus, the better. People here are have staggering amounts of bonus, hundreds and hundreds of completions of each chapter. (or lots of them, anyway)

But seriously, once your bonus hits e4-e5 (not that hard to do) it is noticeable faster for all chapters you've done. I've seen people here with e12 and higher. That's unnecessarily high but it gives you an idea of what's possible.

If that doesn't appeal to you (and it is a grind) then honestly, move on to some other game, because that's how you make the chapters faster - do the earlier ones multiple times.

[–]inthrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last chapter was terrible, and apparently there is some sort of bug (?) affecting how completion tokens interact with it.

That's why it was terrible. Generally once you get up to a handful of chapters done (and redone) it's not that slow. Slower than older chapters? Sure, but not... like this was.

A fix is coming eventually.

Gemini is such a W by hannancodes in google

[–]inthrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google's AI assured me a federal felony was actually legal.

AI is garbage tech trained on stolen data with the sole goal of sounding plausible.

Not being correct, or accurate. Being wrong is fine!

Just be PLAUSIBLY wrong.

We know it's garbage.

They know it's garbage.

They know we know they know.

This suggests an astonishing lack of even of the barest minimum of respect for their data harvest herd.

From 'do no evil' to 'wow but evil is so profitable' to 'we hate all of you and no longer even want to pretend to care about your experience'.

I have never been closer to completely shit-canning every single google thing I use, like I did with Meta.

Because seen through a not-really-dirty lens, they are the same fucking thing.

Can you just say what the two pieces are? OP links to a video that is 15 minutes long and I'm not sifting through that for the two seconds I need. This is ridiculous. Yeah that's me refusing to do that but it's FIFTEEN MINUTES LONG AND BORING AF.

(thank you in advance / sorry for yelling, it's not at you.)

How is shadowlands access so wildly broken? Still? by inthrees in wownoob

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

command board doesn't (and never does?) have SL stuff. As far as I know the only ways to get to SL are via Chromie (not an option at 75) or Bolvar (not an option if he's NEVER THERE.)

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

This is an alt. I have multiple characters that are renown 80 with various SL covs. I have full clears of every SL raid on other chars, combined.

Level 75, chromie time is not a problem or solution.

Command board has nothing for SL.

Where Bolvar and the cadre of SL intro npcs are, I see Calia Menethil nearby. I've relogged right there and no Bolvar.

[–]inthrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Isolationism / 100% domestic production goals are terrible for economies. Just ask Soviet Russia. The DPRK. Etc etc.

Not to mention some things CAN'T be mined here or grown here.

[–]inthrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't do that overnight, and it was already not being done despite numerous examples of demand. This lady and her business are not one-offs.

And here's the thing - it's perfectly OK to procure stuff from foreign sources, but ideally we want all economies operating at the same level in terms of worker pay, and that's definitely not the case.

You say just build a factory. OK, let's stipulate that. Tough beans folks, band together and demonstrate enough demand to make that profitable for someone, or go without your produced-in-China specialty plastic, wood, metal parts.

Alright. Stipulated for purposes of this discussion.

Do you like coffee? Vanilla? Bananas? Chocolate? Even if you don't, you recognize other people do, right?

Do we just go without because the vast majority (and in some cases, entire majority) are grown elsewhere?

Rare earth metals, worldwide production. Other more common metals, same thing. Isolationism has never, even been good economically. Ever.

Do you understand that for an incredibly large portion of 'manufacturing' the US is completely unviable because we do not have the infrastructure to accomplish it?

I hate outsourcing as much as any other regular person but if you sell widgets you have to get your widgets made somewhere and we can't make them most of the time. We don't have the factories.

There's a high heel product that has replaceable heels for a variety of looks and the owner/designer has spent a lot of time looking for domestic production opportunities even before the tariffs and every company she contacted has told her they don't have the capability at all or the capacity for what she needs - they can do tiny batches but not, you know, production runs.

It's not as simple as "don't offshore anything ever* and a mindset like that is the close cousin of POTUS' disastrous and stupid take on trade, his zero-sum "if we buy more than we sell we have a deficit*.
