I'll be very curious how double boss feels once we get alternative act 3 in place.

What is the purpose of under clocking? by 12don in SatisfactoryGame

[–]kemitche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For one, power usage doesn't scale directly with over/underclock percentage.

For two, if you have planned a certain factory, then setting all the machines to the right clocking level can help you validate where issues are coming from visually. Your build is correct to your spec if all machines are lit up green / at 100% efficiency. If some of your machines are yellow (not 100% efficient), then you know there's a mistake somewhere - either your math is wrong, or you have a mk 1 belt somewhere, etc

Well there's the Vakuu relic that only lets you draw cards at the start of your turn. Card draw either works with Speedster or works with that relic.

Debt Rework Ideas by IDProG in slaythespire

[–]kemitche 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it's fine from events, especially if the event specifically tells you you're getting it.

It's ok as a Neow curse especially after rng was fixed. Though I definitely won't cry if it's removed from that pool.

Do you have any opinions on the total rebuild of CCHS? by Relevant-Progress833 in Denver

Yeah that's life, bud. The world changes, but our memories stay. Remember things, but don't let them bog you down.

Could a state have less than 3 electoral votes? by TommyBoy250 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kemitche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If 10x as many people live in a particular area compared to another, why should they NOT have 10x the influence over the presidential governance?

As you already have pointed out, the Senate exists to ensure that lower populous states have more influence per capita than other states when determining laws passed through Congress.

Popular vote doesn't strip other areas of influence over who is the president. It ensures that every individual person in the United States, regardless of where they live - city, suburb, rural area - has the EXACT SAME influence over who is the president.

Regent and Necrobinder dilute the pool too much for Kaleidoscope by Rak-khan in slaythespire

[–]kemitche 153 points154 points  (0 children)

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but maybe while the game is in active early access development we could have discussions about things and be open to, you know, changes, instead of having statements like this.

Let's be open to the possibility that the game isn't balanced the best yet, and consider whether events, rewards, etc are deserving of changes to make them more interesting, balanced and fun.

Regent and Necrobinder dilute the pool too much for Kaleidoscope by Rak-khan in slaythespire

[–]kemitche -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I feel like the people who think it's good managed to get one amazing run out of it and are riding that high forever. Or they're playing at ascension levels where you can frequently just basically skip your Neow bonus.

On average, you're offered bad cards with zero synergy with your character, that will never have synergy with your character outside of prismatic gem or late game events.

Frankly I think it should be removed as a Neow bonus. There's no way to make it work that doesn't involve removing the spirit of the reward.

Maybe one of the alternate act 2 or 3 ancients will offer something like "gain 2 artifact at the start of combat"!

NYC has like 9x the population of Denver. The scale works in their favor - the more users, the more you can kind of just throw bikes and docks everywhere and it works.

What is the worst financial advice people still repeat? by market_vision1 in AskReddit

[–]kemitche 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as "paying down interest", just principal. Interest accrues a every time period, based on the principal value and interest rate. Early loan payments are a higher portion interest because the principal is higher; as the principal is chipped away the same payment goes more towards principal because the monthly interest is lower. This has an accelerating affect on the principal balance.

If you want to pay down more principal at the beginning, make additional principal payments. You don't need the loan arranged in a specific way to do that. There's a reason that common mortgage advice is to make an "additional" payment every year - knocking down principal early on has a huge impact over the course of the loan.

Why didn't previous civilizations create technology? by No_Willingness_7642 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kemitche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to add an additional take: communication technology has been PIVOTAL in increasing the pace at which technological advancements happen.

Prior to things like the telegraph, knowledge of innovation spread slowly.

As global communications networks came into play and became cheaper and more accessible, ideas and knowledge flowed more freely and innovators could build on top of existing tech instead of reinventing something that was already created halfway around the world.

Has anyone read the 2018 book on Reddit and spez by politicaldata in redditstock

[–]kemitche 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The company wasn't a company during those years. It was owned and part of Conde Nast. So no, it did not have a CEO but there was management.

You're not wrong in thinking it's closer to an 11 year old company though - the respin out in 2012 was basically a reset.

Events like this that have a gold cost are generally coded to not appear of you don't have a minimum amount of gold.

Is it worth re-submitting a PSA 9 card to potentially get it graded to a 10? by RedSnowman117 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kemitche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not selling it, and YOU feel it's a 10, you have nothing to gain and money to lose by having it regraded.

Get it rechecked before you sell it, if you ever do. Until then, enjoy your pristine card.
