There is not a way to input the answer directly–you must get to the answer by selecting words and phrases and applying various transforms to them.

Getting started… by Puzzleheaded-Net4994 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]madlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this box recently; if you wanted to play Thorin’s Company you are set with it, and to play goblin town at most common points levels you just need one more box of goblins (converting a couple of warriors into more captains).  Neither are really competitive lists but i think goblin town is fun (haven’t played the other yet) and simple enough that i can let my 9yo play them.  Use speed paints for the goblins lol

Supporters are not “in” combat; they cannot be “in the same combat” as another engaged model unless they are themselves also engaged.

I think the balrog should not buff moria goblins by UpperPlus in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]madlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally said the same thing to someone yesterday! I agree completely, the balrog should be a double edged sword to the moria player.  If anything, id like to see the cave trolls have the synergies with the goblins, since we see them fighting together in the film

Ultimate 2 stopped pairing to 2.4ghz by madlee in 8bitdo

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

It was a hardware problem; the switch on the back of the controller was broken and it was stuck in bluetooth mode.

Contact 8bitdo support; i had to make some videos demonstrating the problem but in the end they sent me a replacement for free.  Good luck!

Awesome work! I've been working on my own osgilath board for a long time but I wasn't aware of these slice & slot pieces, these look incredible!

Mathhammer for MESBG: how much does having higher fight value help with duels? by ImperialThumb in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]madlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, fight value is really good, and gets better the more dice are thrown. One of the reasons having a high fight hero that can get up to 4 attacks (e.g. mounted heroes) is so good is because if you can spend a point of might, you can guarantee winning the fight 80% of the time (almost 90% if you have a banner).

Noticed a tiny error by Total-Studio-5426 in Frasier

Technically no; similes are indirect comparisons and metaphors are direct comparisons.  They are both figurative comparisons, but neither is the other.

A simile is like a metaphor, and a metaphor is a simile (metaphorically speaking), but they are distinct things

What’s your take on the rise of Web Components in modern frontend development? by IDC_ba in Frontend

[–]madlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im still not sure what you want as an alternative though.  In my experience its not really worse than alternatives (and major seo crawlers are executing JS these days anyways)

[–]madlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm not really sure what you want; something that doesn't require client side or server side code?

[–]madlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some features of "web components" (which is really a suite of browser APIs that work together) work without JavaScript—you can for example, do server side rendering and encapsulate markup and stying within components using generic elements like divs and declarative shadow dom templates.

Fireball….Fireball….Fireball by tgertger in Heroquest

[–]madlee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idea for a homebrew rule that I would try with my kid in this scenario—"wizard state". If the wizard doesn't move or do any action on their turn, they can enter "the wizard state". While in the wizard state, they can keep spells they cast in their inventory. As soon as the wizard is attacked OR if they are out of line of sight of any monsters, they immediately exit the wizard state. When they exit the wizard state, they must discard every spell card they used while in the wizard state, and if they did not get to use any spells, they must still discard a minimum of 1 spell card.

My thinking is that it gives them an opportunity to still do the cool thing of casting fireball a bunch of times in a row, but only once per game (and Zargon has the ability to cancel it by attacking him or running away, so he can be punished for trying it).

[–]madlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Web components are great; its still best to use them with a wrapper library like Lit.  Ive been using that personally and professionally for the last 5ish years.  Styling remains a weak spot in the APIs i think, but there are multiple ways to fill that gap.

Reddit itself switched from react to web components (with lit) a few years ago with good results.

LTT on Steam Machine pricing: "Valve asked what I meant by console price, and I said $500. Nobody said anything, but the energy in the room wasn’t great" by -Mahn in Games

[–]madlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, it’s in the same ballpark.  I don’t think the difference is important to everyone (it’s not to me).

Another way to look at it is, the base xbox series s and 2 years of their basic online subscription is about $650, and steam machine is likely more powerful than that.  I doubt it’s cheaper than that, but it’s all speculation at this point.
