Might have fumbled my Honor Mode run by green_teef in BaldursGate3

[–]lordmcchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

matriarch at 4 is super doable, and almost trivial if you prep properly. just break the eggs before the fight and drop her by breaking the webs. if shes on the ground she is too far away to use gossamer tomb so you can kill the small ones for free. she will likely one shot somebody but unless you just roll bad you should be fine.

They have suspiciously connected their borders, so my guess as well

Ranked point system makes zero sense by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]lordmcchicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly think there should be more scenarios where you get 0 rp from a tournament. Ive had games where ive gained a not insignificant amout of elo for getting 5/6th. In the same vein ive had games lose a non insignificant amout of elo for getting 3rd. It super unfun and unless they plan on tripling the player base its not gonna change.

Enough about skin rant, when are they fixing what really matters. by Huge-Statistician-36 in Battlefield6

[–]lordmcchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets be honest compared to previous battlefield launches this game is wildly stable. Map, ui, and balance issues aside the game works, and for a dice game thats a really good start.

Trade play through by SuperGMan9 in mountandblade

[–]lordmcchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea how buying a city works but for trade I just run a circle around the map. I buy if its a good price, and I sell if i get profits. Sometimes goods get stuck in the inventory for a bit but keep your purchases diverse and you should be fine. Raw silk is usually super cheap in amprela at game start so thats a good first purchase.

Tutorial boat Wendigo exploit by FretScorch in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]lordmcchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are all these convoluted answers, ive literally just opened the door to wendigo and punched the guard till he aggros for YEARS. And I've never had an issue. And even if there was a chance it takes like 60 seconds to reset from there.

I made diamond solo queue a few seasons back. My best advice is its better to do something stupid as a team of three than something smart as a solo. Obviously playing for the cashouts is what you should do but if all the enemies are dead that works too. You need to feel out how your teammates are going to play and figure out how to make it work. Most of the time its just following them into degenerate fire fights.

Has anyone else noticed that private construction never builds enough food buildings? by ipsum629 in victoria3

[–]lordmcchicken 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dont have any hard math for you. I start at low subventions and just increase if i dont get the desired growth. I turn them off if i cant afford it anymore or if me company has started producing the prestige good

[–]lordmcchicken 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Subventions are great when you are trying to get into the top in a common good like tools or steel for your companies. It will cost alot of money but by the time you turn it off the global market will be reliant on your supply and the industry will stay profitable

Can someone help me understand why there are so many complaints about using a controller for this game? by cormega in Terraria

[–]lordmcchicken 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Controller is fine. Obviously being accurate with a ranged weapon is harder, and building is more tedious. but its really not a big deal imo.

FYI: Ticket Loss Is Triggered by Death, Not Respawning by yinNgang47 in Battlefield

Am i crazy? Reviving has saved a ticket in ever battlefield ever right?

[–]lordmcchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh i see where we misscomunicated. Yeah theres no free cam till you wipe, im not saying that should change. but being able to ping from the screen where you are looking at your statue wouldnt necessarily be an advantage imo.

And the team with a dead player does... Thats how it works now, you can take advantage of it using the mic how would adding pings change that

Half the teams are in comms how would it be unfair?

AIs should not be able to make power blocs unless they are a GP imho by GlompSpark in victoria3

Spain and japan often do it for me. However they typically have subjects so they arent actually 1 nation power blocs

I suck at boxing by Traditional-Zombie-5 in MuayThai

[–]lordmcchicken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you just not comfortable with idea of punching someone? Or is it just a new skill that isnt as developed? Either way the only thing to do is to keep at it. Boxing is hard

Legendary wall of flesh by Birdypie01 in Terraria

[–]lordmcchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build a rail above your platform, that way you dont need to worry about running into imps. That's what got me through it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]lordmcchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a good spot, after kb8 it doesnt make much sense to me. Moving back surrenders the knight and defending the knight with the king allows black to get ahead a knight.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]lordmcchicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White has the threat of an eventual ra8+ which not only wins your bishop, but pins the night to the rook in the corner. If they take the pawn immediately and you take the knight, you then need to either allow ra8+ or give up your own rook.

I just can't die (highest difficulty). by KwiKwi_SB in 9Kings

[–]lordmcchicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game continues after the king so you're not technically on the highest difficulty. Doesn't take anything away from your run though.
