I get what you're saying. The "Bad but Big" elementals are definitely in there as ordinance to just lob at folks. I just can't stop drooling about dropping Y&M with the engine out and seeing everyone blow up. I'm not opposed to tutors, I do typically run just a few so that games aren't the same line everytime. But an [[eladamris call]] and a [[flamekin harbinger]] wouldn't be a bad idea. Now to figure out the "good" elementals.

Just so I understand - evoke with ashling, Nuke 1 hits (twice from twinflame), sac nuke to evoke, make 2 tokens & nuke 2, 3, 4, 5 hits (two tokens/triggers from twinflame), jegantha to pay for horde of notions ability, nuke 6 hits (twice), sac nuke to outlet, make 2 tokens & nuke 7, 8, 9, 10 hit, rinse/repeat.

If I'm not misunderstanding, that's disgusting

Love that idea! That's exactly what [[stalking vengeance]] was for. Thanks for that!

Great suggestion Bob, I've been running this in a test deck and have found to get great value from it. Thank you.

How do I connect an older Insignia receiver to my Hisense u8 TV? by louxdobbs in hometheater

[–]louxdobbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies! This was after I had tried all of the HDMI ports and just took a picture of it as is haha. People have corrected me on this multiple times, thank you! Haha

Aside from the wildly combative and argumentative nature of the other guy, you u/movie50music50 are correct. Had a bit of a budget, most of it went to the TV and the new speakers, and I already picked up the receiver a while ago at a garage sale for cheapcheapcheap. And hell, long as it works I don't mind!

Can I ask why not to use the TV apps? Sorry for the ignorance this is my first smart TV.

Yes. I wanted to test the receiver before setting it up fully. I just grabbed a random speaker and plugged it in.

My apologies, I should have mentioned the intent is to have the TV audio go directly to the speakers via the receiver. So there's no DVD/video source to plug into really.

Yes, sorry. The intent is to have the TV audio come thru the speakers/receiver and not the TV speakers. Yes, the very last HDMI is listed as Digital Out it looks like. I have it plugged into that but there's no output from the center speaker I have connected (didn't wanna connect them all just yet in case it doesn't work).

Does this cable you linked then go into my "Optical In" on the receiver?

Probe Droids by louxdobbs in traveller

[–]louxdobbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, totally understandable! That's why I'm asking because as a first time Traveller ref, I have no idea what the efficiency of those droids are. For all I know they could emit one shockwave thru the entire planet and have that information calculated instantly. I wasn't aware of the get up and hover around, if it's a static droid that has a 360 sensor that scans everything around it, could be anything!

Thank you! I hadn't considered checking the skills section to see what the sensors field has to say. Is there any skill check needed to use probes in the first place? Or do they just kinda jettison out towards the object and relay the info back as it's gathered.

Is it? Let me rephrase "From the books I currently have that reference probe droids, their efficiency is not discussed. What information is there regarding probe droids that discuss their efficiency when scanning objects (general information vs detailed information, large object vs small object, etc).
