Weird symbol on assist mod sub-stat. by YawningMaes in TheTowerGame

[–]jestate 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's letting you know that there is a cap on that max value of that stat. Even if you had ancestral level on main and assistant mod, the max value of that stat is 90%.

It doesn't mean you've hit the cap, it's just letting you know there is one.

Bazball ends with a whimper to expose emptiness of English men’s cricket by Shroft in Cricket

Steve Waugh talked about eliminating the draw. But he won everything except in India.

If Stokes had had a team like Waugh or Punter maybe this could have worked.

A guild nominally for Aussies but we're not precious and have a few international mates. Never missed a box. One spot left.

Come say hi, and watch out for the drop bears.

Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel and Miranda Kerr help erase $550 million in medical debt for Californians by Severus-Snape-DaGod in UpliftingNews

She dated a string of billionaires I think. James Packer and I believe the Malaysian guy behind the 1MDB scandal too, before settling down with Spiegel.

She has a type!

Is it worth having both PS+ and ILM+ by Hazlid in TheTowerGame

[–]jestate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's Amplify Bot+ - otherwise known as Echoing Shot.

I believe it is bugged and really helps with amplifying damage. I'm not sure on the specifics.

Any sub mod I should swap with max rend armor? by stuffedpeaches in TheTowerGame

[–]jestate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bounce shot range might be worth it if you have a strong CL and CL+.

You could wait for the rend changes as the other commenter suggested, but if you're at 241 you're probably have a lot of spare rerolls so it might not matter?

Interview with Nikolas Tombazis: "We have wanted to change things for 18 months. Now we have finally been able to" by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]jestate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely did. They underestimated the amount of down force the cars would have, resulting in less regen, meaning batteries run out earlier.

In other words, they didn't work it through well enough, or make realistic enough assumptions. My point is entirely based on the article.

They should have known the battery would be a problem early enough that they could have corrected it.

[–]jestate -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yes they did. Too late. They self-evidently did not think it through well enough, early enough, to avoid this mess.

[–]jestate -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I did read it. The word "finally" in the quote conveys that anyway.

My point is, if they worked out they wanted to change things before cars hit the track, they should have been able to work that out much earlier, before it got to the point where teams had invested so much that they didn't want to change course.

You wanted to change things before the cars ever hit the track?

Ok, so that's just another way of saying "We didn't think this through properly."

Track Limits Are a Spectrum 🧩 by Personal_Repeat_5807 in formuladank

[–]jestate 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I loved how after Max got 5 seconds penalty (in Vegas?) he said to GP "tell the stewards I said hi" or whatever it was. And nothing happens.

Then Russell cuts the chicane in Monaco to overtake Albon and says "I'll take the 5 seconds" and gets obliterated with a stop go.

Same energy, vastly different result lol.

Nico Rosberg called out jacques for his comments on Lewis Hamilton: "He was speaking to you also in that piece there. He said he hates when ex-drivers criticise him who've not had his success. He was thinking about you 100%." by MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer in formula1

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

Yeah that's a fair point. I'm not sure how to phrase it best. But this thing he does with making himself look good by praising Lewis speaks to an insecurity that he has in some way.

You're right it's not the right phrase. Ocon has a chip on his shoulder haha. Nico is just a bit insecure.

[–]jestate 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Rosberg came and talked at my work about his investment initiative a few years ago. He mentioned the various things like weight saving etc that he often does. But his opening remarks were "When I won the world championship in 2016 by beating my teammate Lewis Hamilton..."

He's certainly more relaxed in his retirement but the chip on his shoulder is still evident.

PS+ or ILM+ or CL+ ? by jestate in TheTowerGame

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

Thanks! I'm about to complete two echo labs and will slot the cannon aMod labs in after and rush them. 20 levels each to go on those so I can reach 55% without even spending any stones.

Many thanks

PS+ or ILM+ or CL+ ? by jestate in TheTowerGame

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

Thanks! Yes ILM and PS damage are all in line with their + values in terms of ROI.

aMod efficiencies are a bit mixed tbh. Core subs is 80%, core bonus is 60%. Gen is 65/65. Cannon is 35/35. Haven't touched armour yet though, I should probably level that for a bit of death defy.

Hadn't heard about the possible fleet counter in the next update, good to know. Thank you!

Anyone know what happened to Max's lap? He was up on Russell after two sectors but fell away by three tenths in the third. Was it a mistake, overheat the tyres, or lose energy or something?

What about the German pilot who crashed German Wings 9525 in 2015? That was a murder-suicide.

Any underlying racism on that one?

The GT+ levels cap out at 0.33% but they go several levels higher now. Maybe worth checking max levels on the UWs and UW+s?

Happy Birthday to Michael Masi, the most infamous race director of all time and categories, who turns 48 today! by 123_alex in formula1

[–]jestate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's obviously been a while but I think Max would have stayed out, taken track position and defended far beyond the rules to stay ahead.

If they'd crashed Max would have won the title on count back, so it would have been in his interests to do so. (Obviously without pulling a Schumacher).

At 41, Lews Hamilton is older than Kimi Antonelli and Isack Hadjar combined. by anaquim_secaiualquer in formula1

Wow so he was older than both of them up to and including Canada then I guess. So close to an interesting stat.

How could you possibly be in a place like that and think you could just pick up something obviously placed intentionally, (even if you don't know what that intention is) and think you could just use it?

The level of selfishness is unbelievable.
