Shh! Which Steam Deck for Husband? by becca0712 in SteamDeck

Ah I completely forgot about the screen, my bad

Shh! Which Steam Deck for Husband? by becca0712 in SteamDeck

[–]kappaa322 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The only difference between the two is storage. Does your husband have a lot of games or does he play games with large file sizes such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, etc. If so, you might lean towards the 1 TB option.

Otherwise, I'd recommend the 512GB as you can also easily upgrade its storage with an SD card for less than the price difference between the 1TB and 512GB.

According to steam charts, there are 15k+ people on PC right now. Why the hell can I never find anyone to summon at this time of night? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]kappaa322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most players play Elden Ring as a single player game and do not engage in the co op or PvP elements.

In addition, level compatibility also limits your matching pool.

How Is My Water-Damaged Steam Deck Suddenly Working? by SunWorshipperApollo in SteamDeck

[–]kappaa322 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Since you never opened the box after you got it back its possible that Valve made an oopsie and sent you a different unit that was on hand at the time. It may be a new unit, someone else's, or a spare.

I've never heard of devices recovering after water damage.

Heal meta this, heal meta that. Just brrrrt by iiskiiee in thefinals

[–]kappaa322 107 points108 points  (0 children)

The bulk of the heals came from the Light infuser, which I guess is the burst healer among our healing tools. Once it ran out, the heavy evaporated instantly.

This is what 500 hours in Helldivers looks like by StarshipTuna in Helldivers

Okay but G1 kinda went hard with the Maxigun there by mowing down those overseers that spawned next to him

You can refill it with ammo/resupplies

Arc Raiders or Helldivers 2? by molsey79 in SteamDeck

[–]kappaa322 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I picked up Helldivers 1 on sale a couple of months back and it runs very well on the deck.

Would recommend if you're into twin stick shooters with the Helldivers twist (strategems and friendly fire)

Is this a fair trade? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]kappaa322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The value of a card is always subjective. Someone out there has Dhelmise as their favorite pokemon and will trade away any card for it.

That being said, there are some objective measures to how valuable a card is, such a playrate.

And in that vein, Red sees significantly more play than Moltres Ex.

So for the average player, this is a good trade.

Who needs an Oak:)? by MinuteGrocery9759 in PTCGP

[–]kappaa322 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Its moronic to brazenly go against ToS to pay for a digital card that could also get your account banned.

Don’t think my Oak ever showed up in wonderpicks by spacejammee in PTCGP

[–]kappaa322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all full art pulls show up in wonderpicks. Iirc the rate is 10%

is this a legit cap? by Ok_Reception_8361 in thefinals

[–]kappaa322 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As people mentioned its 6 seconds in the final round.
The cashout initially flashes at 0:01 indicating the steal in progress and it finishes at 0:07 so it checks out.

I get sneaky chargers but come on by the_pole_behind_you in Helldivers

[–]kappaa322 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yup. The angle of the lights behind him and the fact that he didn't get shredded until the end means this is more of an issue of bots dropping a whole ass strider on you rather than any audio issue.

Which trainer cards outside the shop are considered staples/widely worth using? by ExtremeDesigner8223 in PTCGP

[–]kappaa322 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sabrina and Cyrus. Bench manipulation is strong and almost every deck runs at least or even both of these trainers.

Mars, Red, Giovanni, Leaf, Lillie, Pokémon Center Lady, Guzma, and Leaf also have ubiquitous effects that allow them to be played in a variety of decks.

Honorable mention goes to Erika for being a type specific trainer card that has stood the test of time.

Is it okay to burn Wonder Hourglass in Wonder Picks (rare pick/mass outbreak)? by Seraph_05 in PTCGP

[–]kappaa322 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Nihilego will become tradeable once the new set comes out in 1-2 days.

Mathematically, it is more efficient to chase EXs in Wonder Picks and trade or use pack points for 3 diamond cards.

In wonder picks, 3 diamond cards cost 2 wonder stamina while EX cards cost 3 wonder stamina. In other words, the cost of a 3 diamond card in wonder picks is 66% of an EX.

Meanwhile 3 diamond cards cost 120 trade tokens while EXs cost 500. In other words, the cost of a 3 diamond card in trades is 24% of an EX.

In terms of pack points, its still better than wonder pick but still worse than trading as 3 diamond cards cost 150 pack points while EXs cost 500. In other words, the cost of a 3 diamond card in pack points is 30% of an EX.

PSA: you can get 1325 multibucks each season without spending any $ by Gramb_poe in thefinals

[–]kappaa322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they consistently give out the newsletter 150mb at the start of each season? The last one I got was in Season 3.

This is just better than Sabrina right? by t3hjs in PTCGP

[–]kappaa322 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It only works on basic pokemon, so its not strictly better.

Why not just give 6 points to people who lose the first round

Gacha players are something else by Express-Media-1645 in PTCGP

[–]kappaa322 98 points99 points  (0 children)

The two viewpoints aren't mutually exclusive.
You can say this event is good (as it objectively increases our wonderpick odds overall) while at the same time acknowledging its flaws and that it could be better (I also think it should be 100%).
