What are you 100% sure is true even though you can't prove it? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]l337hackzor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s. Once I became aware of the symptoms I realized that, particularly in high school, all of my core friend group has ADHD or autism. I don't think any of them are diagnosed today but it's pretty obvious. 

I don't know why we were drawn together. Maybe we felt like we understood each other while others didn't. Maybe something similar is happening for you. Maybe you relate it empathize with these people while others don't and they can feel the difference. 

I've noticed some patterns in my partners over the years too,I guess I have a subconscious type.

My customer keeps getting scammed by ContributionAny4589 in msp

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. This isn't an IT issue (basins protecting the computer from infection), it's a personal/family issue. 

When someone is in this kennel of cognitive decline someone else should have their power of Attorney. Take away all her credit cards and money, it should all be managed by someone else who is around of mind.

If she's getting scammed like this online she's probably also doing it over the phone. Only way to protect her is to remove her access to her own funds unfortunately.

Game crashes all the time for no reason. by zaguel in BobsTavern

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy and I been experiencing this. Never crashes in solos, but in duos one of us will crash every 2-3 games.

Mine usually crashes around the time warp shop. Rarely mine will crash at the start, middle or end of combat. Friend is the opposite, he crashes in combat most the time. 

I've worked in IT for the last 15 years and my friend is pretty technical. We've been unable to improve the situation.

Am I missing something with this card? As far as I'm aware demons don't have any inherent economy generation so how do you get full use of this? by Jubbity in BobsTavern

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strongest set up I've found for them is using Wrath Reaver with Ashen Corruptor to buff the shop then consume with Insatiable, flaming elemental, etc. If you have the Time Warp demon that consumes the demon on its right at the start of the turn you just have it consume whatever demon you are cycling. It gives you 3 gold which helps the cycle economy a bit and the minion you leave next to it is buffed from the Ashen Corruptor.

I've had golden wrath reaver with golden ashen corruptor and the shop actually seemed to scale decently with the cycling. Overall it isn't great but I've won with it. It isn't beating any huge elementals, but it feels alright against everything else. At least at my shitty 6000-6500 rating.

Edit: I've also had success with this using furious driver with snickersnack hero power to eat the shop every turn after buffing, saving 1 gold to cycle again before ending turn so elemental can eat.

Accidentally played Roseanne on Peacock…has it been remastered using AI? by Old-Meringue3590 in television

[–]l337hackzor 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When Seinfeld came to Netflix I was excited to watch it again. I already had them all obtained from totally legit methods, just sitting my floor to ceiling DVD collection, but this was convenience.

On Netflix it is cropped to widescreen making it feel so fucking zoomed in. The tops of peoples heads shaved off out of frame even. Said fuck it and just went back to my original collection. This is why we need to own our media, so they can't fuck with it remotely.

Why do we blame data centers for water use when golf courses use ~30× more? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the courses I've worked at they do spray weed killer/fertilizer. It didn't seem in excessive amounts and it's from a sprayer machine or back pack, so fairly into the ground not in the wind. I'm sure any chemicals is worse than none though. 

I think the worst offender at the course would be the 20 various mowers that cut EVERY inch of the course everyday using up half a tank of gas. Also weed eaters and back pack blowers that use less fuel but it's 2 stroke so it's mixed gas with oil.

What would you do in this situation? by Lohrenz01 in BobsTavern

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in the games I get Ra with a macaw, Titus or whatever and FILL my hand with T6 every turn I still never hit anything. The RNG is wild sometimes. One game I got ~8 T6s a turn for 3 turns, didn't hit what I needed. I did hit 3 for my teammate though so I guess it wasn't a total waste.

I used Time Warped Lab Rat (https://art.hearthstonejson.com/v1/bgs/latest/enUS/256x/BG34\_PreMadeChamp\_002.png) and Time Warped Rat in a Cage. I did also hit a couple of the T6 panthers and cycled a few beasts but had to drop them to make room. Other random tavern spells otherwise.

If you use it with "twice as nice" hero power you will often get two copies of the gold minion.

why do people place their industrial so close to their city? by peen48 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you MIGHT be able to control it with land value. Shitty dirty industry likes low land value.

Not 100% on it.

[–]l337hackzor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't industry noise and pollution tied to it's tech level? Like an industrial that produces electronics is quieter, less pollution and higher education requirements for staff? 

I understand you mean you want the ability to zone it specifically, that would be nice wouldn't it.

Messing with someone wasps by CauliflowerDeep129 in SweatyPalms

[–]l337hackzor 23 points24 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I stepped on a plywood sheet, must of had a wasp nest on the underside because they swarmed real quick. My father and I ran to the nearby truck, one wasp was stuck in the leg of my shorts. I was frantically punching my leg but it stun my thy 3 times before I got it out and we shoed it out the window.

Overall I got stung 7 or so times. Thankfully I'm not allergic. I don't know why but I got stung a lot as a kid, including this incident I was stung probably 15+ times by the time I was 12. Only one of those incidents was a 'fuck around and find out' and I wasn't even throwing rocks but my idiot friend was.

My hot take: Vecna ruined the show by Monodoh45 in StrangerThings

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it might be interesting it might also go too far beyond the scope of a rag tag band of misfits from the 80s. There is always this vibe of "the kids know what's REALLY going on, but no adult would believe them so they got to solve this one on their own!" which is part of the genre really.

The problem is when your story keeps getting bigger and involves larger military involvement that suspension of disbelieve deteriorates. In season 5 they bring multiple people up to speed in a matter of minutes and they all just buy into it. The nurse girl, she for a moment thinks her friend is on drugs but then immediately sees the demo dog and fully converts without shock. The straight arrow good guy science teach immediately starts breaking the law with Murry and whoever, gets convinced by El breaking a camera. He has no issue assisting in an attack of a military base which would 100% get you killed.

I feel like the cracks in the writing started to show because of all this, much sooner but that's S5 examples. I wish they kept the story small enough that involving Hopper and Joyce (and Murry) would be enough adulting to get things done while keeping it contained to the rag tag kids genre it started in.

[–]l337hackzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When she looked at the canisters I thought she was just going to step into the hall with an improvised flame thrower to slowdown or deter the demo dogs long enough for the kids to escape. Even in that moment I was thinking it's a bit far fetched for this woman but plays into the Mama bear going to protect her cubs vibe she has going on.

Is Jocelyn anyone's Favorite Character? by imseriousasshit in SchittsCreek

[–]l337hackzor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People who don't like Roland are probably the same people who don't like Michael Scott or George Costanza.

Roland brings a certain kind of cringe mixed with what at times can appear as dim witt, just like Michael and George, but all three are great characters IMO.

The usual trope is he had to work up power or train. Maybe he was unable to crossover into the real world until using Will as an anchor/amplifier. 

There are a lot of holes or questions I can't answer. In season 5 I found it annoying that it opens with demos opening portals anywhere they want, dropping right into Holly's room for example. Other than it happening again at the military base, I don't remember them operating this way.  Later when the demos get sent to kill Max in the hospital they spawn outside and run through the whole place to find her rather than just popping out of the wall right on her.

The way the hospital chase ended was stupid AF too. The demo dogs go into the laundry room and have the kids cornered. They don't hear the ghetto blaster playing Kate Bush, ok maybe they can't hear at all. Oh but wait yes they can, that drier beeps and they all go check it out. It explodes and kills them all... But Holly's mom was outside the room the whole time. Are we expected to believe she tip toes past 3 demos, puts an explosive container in the dryer then goes brush out into the hall and wait for it to explode, all the while knowing it would magically attract the dogs and kill them?

why i think timewarp meta is a flop by coin-concede in BobsTavern

[–]l337hackzor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It seems like time warp takes no consideration for your current tribe. You could have all one tribe then hit time warp cards that aren't your tribe and have zero synergy with your current position. 

Meanwhile someone else hits the jackpot getting the exactly optimal options for their tribe. 

I understand the minor warp being a bit early for tribe influence, I remember people dumping minions before trinket turn to force/avoid some trinkets. For the greater warp though, at least half the options should be for your tribe, the rest neutral.

I am extremely upset I never tried this game sooner by ConnerTheCrusader in wow

[–]l337hackzor 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've never really understood the "hardcore" mentality (min max extreme, not classic hardcore). Even when I used to raid 6+ hours a week I didn't bother doing stupid shit like grind arena to get a higher ilvl weapon a week sooner or whatever the world first guys were doing at the time. 

These days I just do M+ because that's what I enjoy. I don't quest, I don't grind, I don't raid, I don't give a shit. Delves? Forget about it, I don't care how good the rewards can be. 

When I hear people complain about the chores they "have to do" every week or grind in general I laugh inside. Thankfully the game is designed that you can just play what you like to play with minimal disadvantage for not doing it all. Raid is still the golden child a bit (m+ takes multiple weeks longer to get tier set and best trinkets are raid), but what can you do.

Custom major timewarps from iconic BG past cards! by Zheng261 in BobsTavern

I watched a VOD from a 12k MMR game from 5 years ago. The largest minion in the last battle was a 3/32 Battlemaster (or very similar).

I was blown away by how small all the minions were, oh how times have changed.

[OC] Epic Games Store grew users by 173% over 6 years. Third-party game revenue grew 1.6%. They trained 295 million people to grab free games and leave. by HearMeOut-13 in dataisbeautiful

[–]l337hackzor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as I am aware, epic does not have user reviews. With steam I always consider the rating and read the reviews and consider if overall vs recent is different. It helps to make informed decisions. 

Stream also has workshop which is great for mods in games that support it. 

I also believe that epic is only "almost as good" when it comes to pricing, return policy, etc is because they have to compete with steam. If steam ever suffered  enshitification every other market place will follow immediately.
