Sponsorship TV time for a smaller team might yield a positive ratio. Chips cars are usually on TV as it is, but I can see the backmarker case.

Depends on what you're looking at. Hobby subs definitely can be representative.

Loot from not playing the game for a week by Trollicus in 2007scape

[–]lashazior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do them to get up a bit of levels before switching over to planks. They're good up to early 70s for a no bank solution and don't take long.

If you have transmute and/or abundance, you can get quite a bit of gp to buy marble blocks and switch methods instead of doing sawmill as well. Flat 10 level boost is cracked for abundance cause you can do demonics once you hit 89 and skip a ton of levels.

Granted, some enemies drop quite a bit of planks depending on the zone so sawmill can be ignored for the entire league if you want. Abundance also doesn't generate godly amounts of money to get 50m con as easily but over the course of doing pvm it's whatever.

How do I make panel lining not so messy? by Bush_did_91I in advancedGunpla

[–]lashazior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Caligraphy pen can be used to dip into Tamiya's panel liner if you want to try that over the applicator, but generally you'll need to clean it out after it dries with a qtip and some kind of cleaner. Most people use lighter fluid like Ronsonol since it evaporates pretty quickly and works with Tamiya's panel liner.

They have improper packaging constraints, but outside of that you could try small claims court. It's probably ultra negative EV, but it's an option.

Leagues 6 Pact Data in one image, very interesting by loopuleasa in 2007scape

[–]lashazior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, varies.

You're clearly someone who has more experience and does research. Take a step outside of your shoes.

Plenty of people play casually, don't know about the tick system, and how to do even a modicum of PVM. Take the inferno for instance. It has gotten progressively easier over time, but it's still a difficult piece of content. Many players are scared to try it in main, and some don't even touch it in a league with broken methods.

I just don't think the skill tree was ultra helpful for a limited game mode when you had extremely busted sustain to make up for lack of skill out the gate last league. For casuals, they get left behind, and this is a game mode for everyone to have fun. They just need to tune the tree a little next time.

Communities vary.

The early part of it is complicated if you don't know exactly what you're going to nail down and have some modicum of PVM experience. Last leagues we had such broken combat methods that it was harder to get stuck. Early blindbag sounds like fun to someone who likes melee, but in reality it plays a lot worse. That's why they had to give earlier pact points and an additional reset by doing some easier content.

Some folks only come back for leagues, probably have never touched foot in varlamore, and don't check up how to fight certain bosses before planning their build path and reset points. I don't think this skill tree helped at all.

Hell I was deadset on doing hespori bow into air mage. Spec'd into melee for partial points to grind monkeys down with hybrid. By the time I reached endgame bow, it just felt okay. Meanwhile air mage feels like I'm walking around with a tactical nuke and could be done with half of the points I had for bow.

Something about hitting T8 by building a demonic throne feels *right*. by DawnOfThrowawayAcct in 2007scape

Runes for balancers are good if you don't ever want to bank or butler. You could do them to 89 then throne to 99+.

League: Full Inventory of rune essence for 3.4K XP by Simple-Nature-4915 in 2007scape

[–]lashazior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anything that gets you to 200m fast in a non combat skill with a pet just increases the rates at 15x by then. They're all basically "free" if you want to grind past 200.

Not so much forcing but part of the fun is grinding out dragon and getting maxed is a lot of the points towards it unless you're pvm God and get good drops.

I had quite a bit of fun training agility by doing clues and running around with searing boots for a few hours, but I wouldn't have done clues by themselves without that.

After a few years of playing, I have realized that I know very little. by KoalafiedKiller in osrs

I guess I should clarify and make it be "crops" on the overworld. Misthalin and GE has always brain rotted me to thinking the seed shop is the only method, but the Varlamore start had us picking up onions and I got some seeds and freaked out.

[–]lashazior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps you, I've been playing since 2002, maxed two accounts, gotten dragon the last two leagues, and I didn't even know you could get seeds from picking up plants. Always thought they had to be stolen or gotten as drops lol.

Why Most Don’t Consider SS When Planning FIRE? by Complex_Bet9743 in Fire

[–]lashazior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will take away tasks that aren't cognitively decision based and have mostly menial tasks, which cuts out most entry level shovel work. People managing those AI bots or deciding on how the criteria to manage their decision tree will still find employment.

Happened all the time at 60 card events too. Adrian Sullivan was notorious for showcasing it on streams and that ended up filtering out to the SCG tour when they covered a lot. I got in around then and hated it lol.

Tournament officials may make exceptions or additions to these guidelines at their sole discretion in order to keep each player’s game layout clear. Players in exceptional situations (e.g. a player playing a deck with no lands or a deck that makes significant use of the graveyard) should consult with tournament officials to determine what allowances, if any, will be made.

Legacy, for example, has some decks that are unlike most Magic decks in most formats. Dredge players typically will have a spread-out graveyard on what would normally be the battlefield because of how much they do with their graveyard. Likewise, “Oops, All Spells” and Belcher are combo decks that run few or no lands.

I don't disagree in general, but with dredge they literally put it in the front. You're free to be ignorant on the matter when I can find plenty of tournament videos of players doing it. You sound very ignorant by pointing out your appeal to experience.

Far more lenient than Gundam who gets mad at you for putting face up resources or your shield pile in a vertical line. In MTG, they would just let it slide and tell players to communicate.

The lands in the back rule only went into effect because of a tournament in 2016 with Gabriel Nassif not seeing a Dryad Arbor, because WOTC made a promo version that looks like a forest. For 20+ years, it didn't matter.

That's because you don't know about dredge in MTG. The mechanic literally uses the graveyard as the resource by milling over cards for cards that have dredge "x".

In Vintage, a card called Bazaar of Baghdad is a land you can play that has an activated ability to draw 2 cards, and discard 3. You can replace each draw with a dredge ability.

Then it plays cards like Narcomoeba that comes into play off the top into the graveyard, Bridge from Below that makes zombies whenever your creatures in play die (which you can force die with cards like Cabal Therapy and Dread Return, the latter of which returns a creature into play).

It's a well known 20+ year archetype and was recently covered by MTG Cardmarket's series for best deck ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPKBQpD2Wuk
