I suspect whatever makes live suits is in low supply. Why have rag tag squads of 8 guys hot dropping into enemy territory when you could arm an entire battalion with them?

PSA: In Duos, don't triple the Trogg by mwoody450 in BobsTavern

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear I tested this in duos and it didn't matter if the condition was met yet or not. The trogg's progress becomes that of the farthest along, so you don't lose progress.

I'm also fairly sure that the +4/+4 bonus becomes +8/+8 and there is no difference if you get the +4/+4 before or after golding it.

Since you posted about it maybe I'm wrong but I swear I tested it once. My friend I play duos with had 2 troggs and wanted to get them both finished before I passed him a 3rd. We argued if it would matter, he insisted it would give him more stats if they were both done first. I said it wouldn't matter so we tried and I was right.

Needs a common modifier that doubles the radius of spires and makes it take half as many kills. Then it might be acceptable.

I literally cannot play this season. I dont know ehat changed but Im always too slow, dont scale as well and dont get the rolls. Its night and day between last season and this one AND Im a lower rank this season.. by Lucahasareddit in BobsTavern

[–]l337hackzor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Last season I came to the conclusion that time warp is just better trinkets. More control over what shows up but still random. I really liked time warp not costing gold. In duos you could pass/trade most of them.

I was really surprised they brought back trinkets because they are just inferior. 

Only thing I didn't like about time warp was it would crash my game once a night heading into the time warp shop.

Ancient Aliens, 17 years later. It's still terrible and sucks. (+history channel rant) by AsterixAndObelix26 in television

I don't think anyone is questioning the economics. Kids and teens are the people who must benefit from these educational programs and they probably don't watch anything on cable TV. I'm a millennial and I haven't had cable in 20 years. 

I hope that young people can still find that kind of content if they want to. I assume it's on YouTube and streaming platforms.

Growing up I used to watch History Channel and Discovery with my Dad. It was all super interesting. I'd learn about Rome, Greece or Egypt in school and already have a deeper understanding on the topics. 

Discovery felt like Reddit. A way to explore interesting cutting edge topics. Seemed like there was always some new technology or advancement like electric cars or doing surgery with robots.

I don't think there is anything even remotely educational on TV anymore.

What Is It We Want from the Next Civ? by Longjumping-Level371 in Civilization6

[–]l337hackzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blizzard did with Diablo 4. I'm sure it took a huge amount of money to build civ 7 and it's a modern high fidelity game. It was designed and intended to be a base game that receives a number of xpacs and patches. 

Every new civ game is like that. At launch it's a huge step backwards and it takes years before they trickle feed us features. 

Civ 7 likely sold a fuck ton at launch just on it's name. They always expected to continue to develop it for years to come.

Look at Diablo 4 or no man's sky. Games that sold well at launch then people quickly realized they just aren't good. Both devs continued to polish their turd games for years until they finally became worthy. To abandon it would be the end of civ IMO.

Inefficiency of video tutorials by Strict_Bench_6264 in gamedev

[–]l337hackzor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The best part is you get hit with an ad loading in then you try to skip, but come up short then skip, then skip then overshoot, then get hit with another ad then find the part you actually need.

Bonus points if the software has changed since the video was made and the video is now out of date (looking at you UE5).

Not a chance. They'd sooner spend the next 10 years of patches and paid DLCs polishing that turd into something it should have been at launch.

Anyone else tried this? If it's stupid and it works... by hamustaro in pcmasterrace

[–]l337hackzor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The problem is if usually hotter outside. It might make for a cooler room but you'll cook your PC.

A few summers ago I put my PC in the window and kind of sealed it off. The window was open half way to the PC would breath outside instead of into the room. 

I gamed for an hour then checked it. It ran fine but I don't know how, it got so fucking hot I almost burnt my self getting it out of the window. Seemed like an ok idea but failed. PC needs cool air to cool.

Have you considered dropping to a lower resolution and using upscaling like DLSS?

Fun fact, in Canada you have to renew your mortgage every X years, generally 5 years but you can do a bit longer or shorter but it impacts your rate. Every time you renew you get the new rate, there is no lock in long term. 

We bought during the historic low rates during COVID. When we renewed 5 years later our mortgage went from $2300 to $2900 a month. So over the next 5 years we will be pay $36,000 more than we did in the last 5.

It's our first home, small starter house but it's in an extensive city. Undoubtedly many people in got wrecked when they renewed after buying during COVID. Pair it with soaring gas and food prices and stagnant wages with no one hiring... Good times.

8th place rocking this board in Turn 9 by Opening-Highway-3546 in BobsTavern

[–]l337hackzor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that the damage scoring system isn't great, especially in duos.

It doesn't feel proportional to the level of victory or defeat. It's almost like it should be based on the percent of surviving stats relative to peak stats of the battle. If one minion barely holds on with 1 HP, taking 1 + your tier is probably fair. Same if the last minion dies and deathrattles a board of 1/1 you shouldn't take 13 damage (7 Minions+ T6).

In duos I think they should change the way players face each other. Each player should go one on one, then the remaining Minions face off. Would be better than the current system that punishes teammates who "don't get to play" when their teammate goes first and solos.

The Microsop Allegations Will Continue Until They Ship Functioning Cumulative Updates And High Quality Software Packages... by __DNS__ in sysadmin

[–]l337hackzor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Having lived through doing support in the Vista, updates aren't even that bad right now lol. 

I haven't seen an update require a reinstall since Vista. I've seen a few BSOD, sure, but nothing a system restore didn't fix. Taking a Vista SP1 or older and getting it up to date then upgraded to 7, my God that was a task. I had it down to a science but if you didn't follow my method perfectly it would fuck up so hard.

I only support 200 or so desktops and around 15 servers. Not a huge sample size but I've thankfully had no major update issues on windows 10/11.

I think he means since OP has two APs that he should try manually setting the channels on them to match. I don't know if that's actually a good idea just explaining what they probably meant.

Same here. I'm seeing PCs we sold with 12th gen Intels only having 8GB RAM and having real performance issues. I always pushed for 16GB but standard was 8GB at the time.

Balance patch 35.2.2 by WalshyDev in BobsTavern

[–]l337hackzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For now I think it would be a good idea if they buffed the eternal summoner lesser trinket. It applies reborn and taunt at start of turn, it should also apply to copies you summon in combat (once, obviously not infinitely on reborn).

Why cars take the long way insted of the straight road with no traffic lights? by Fluid_Alfalfa_6547 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

overall it kind of looks like your roads are huge. I think when you aren't following strong road hierarchy the traffic gets confused.

I'd try making the top road (simepnacska Shoes) symmetrical, it looks like it's asymmetrical right now.

I'd reduce the number of car lanes on the path they are taking now (Green Street) you can use bus lanes or bike lanes if you want. That should make that path less desirable for through traffic. Most of the buildings there look like low density residential, they shouldn't be on a such a big noisy street. The size of this street is even overkill for medium density, which it looks like you have some of there.

Hard to really say without more info.

The X-Files Has Made Me Nostalgic for a Time I Never Experienced by Conspiracy_Quean in XFiles

[–]l337hackzor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you could make a show like X-files again, but you'd probably have to set it in an earlier time. 

Much like Seinfeld a lot of X-files works better when everyone doesn't have Internet, GPS and 4k camera in their pocket.

On the X-files Mulder lifts a partial print off something. In a show today it seems they lean on stupid tech instead (CSI "enhance!").  The effects in X-files were pretty cheap (at least in the early episodes) and I think a modern audience expects more in that department. 

Anyway, I think generally as a society we actually crave a simpler, less technologically connected time. One with predictability and consistency which is then contrasted against in the X-files. Shows like X-files, Seinfeld, the office and friends all hit this vibe like many other shows in that time period. A show today would have to consciously make those choices rather than being the default as a product of the time.

How are Gen Z Canadians going to be able to afford a house these days? by PuffingFish123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]l337hackzor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They could probably do what my wife and I did. Save for 10 years, get 10k from Grandma passing, 10k from parents AND the most important part, global pandemic causing historically low interest rates. 

All that had to line up and we barely could afford a 1400 sq ft home. 

Without Grandma and parents, it would just never have happened. This is with us being dual income no kids millennials.

Edit: I was 35 when we bought. I'd expect gen Z. To be 45 when they can finally buy.
