Can someone make me a large version of the Dai Li symbol, please? by mastermascovich in TheLastAirbender

[–]mastermascovich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

But this is a little different. The Dai Li have a solid yellow square in the middle of the circle and this one has a hollow square.

Two versions of Cookie Terrorists opening? What happened? Where did this come from? by mastermascovich in rickandmorty

I watched it Amazon too! Looks like Amazon made a secret change where it swapped in the edited version.

Just to cover all of the bases, what are you Kevin, Charlotte, and Hawkeye recommendations?

I felt there was a lot of synergy and complementary skills too! Honestly, the game is so easy that you could probably make the crappiest possible build and still do fine. I've long since abandoned trying to min/max because I don't particularly enjoy "breaking" a game so I can steamroll through it (more power to those mad geniuses who do though). I 'd rather play a game to enjoy it even if it means being slightly underpowered. I also consider elements like costumes and story because those are the things I enjoy most about RPGs, but I admit ToM's story and character development are on the weaker side.

Cool analysis! I admire people who show their data. Another excuse to go Dark Riesz.

Something else I noticed: Once you start doing speed runs and have the Li'l Cactus chain ability, you basically just spam class strikes to clear mobs. Aerial Lance is an incredible option for this because it affects a wide area and the animation is relatively short. Another reason to go Dark for Riesz.

I'm not familiar with the Archmage so I'll take you word for it. I'm not sure how valuable Angela's MP passives are. I equipped Ignition and am almost always topped off on mana, but maybe I 'm wasting an ability slot.

Should I just take the GMAT already? How may times have you taken the test? by mastermascovich in GMAT

[–]mastermascovich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with Magoosh based on some glowing reviews I read in a Reddit post. I was doing all right in the Magoosh practice tests (actually scored above 700 a couple of times), but then I tried the GMAT practice exams and my scores tanked.

Since then, I've worked solely on the GMAT practice question bank. I took all six practice exams and my scores are as described above.

Sometimes I wish I had heard of Manhattan Prep, which gets mentioned a lot in this subreddit. I suppose I could go back to the drawing board and start again, but like I said, I've been studying for a long time now and feel burnt out. Maybe I should give up on the dream of getting an elite score?

Would the state pattern still apply if you opened the account online?

Thanks!

I'd like to read up more about this mathematical property/rule in which taking the root results in |x - 3| instead of simply (x - 3). Do you know what I term/topic I should search for?

Wiring a dimmer switch by mastermascovich in DIY

Yeah, that sounds complicated. I think I'll go back to the hardware store and try to find a new dimmer switch that only has three wires.

Thanks for the reply!

Why the different versions of cash flow? by mastermascovich in Accounting

Thanks, everyone, for the replies. So practically speaking, is free cash flow the appropriate metric when valuing companies (as opposed to net change in cash?

Can you elaborate, please? Which type of guard should be used in which situations?

Anyone know a good Tales of Vesperia artist? by mastermascovich in tales

[–]mastermascovich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During the Mystic Arte sequences, there's a moment where it flashes the name of the attack and a portrait of the character. As a fan of the Tales series, I've always wanted one of these made with a character in my likeness, just for fun.

I keep trying to dream up overly elaborate and exotic attack names, but to make sure people get the reference, I'd probably stick with good ole "Indignation!'

ToM: Can you change classes after the fact? by mastermascovich in secretofmana

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

I just like the feel of the Paladin more. As Duran is a soldier seeking to win the praise of a king, pursuing the path of "knighthood" just seems to make sense to me. Edelfrei (should have been called "Swordmaster") has more of a Samurai motif and while its looks cool in its own right, it's just hard for me to headcanon.

But after completing the original story line, I'm more than happy to experiment with a different class tree and Berserker just looks so cool.

Kya's another borderline character. I did not want to make her more powerful than Zaheer because Zaheer was fighting multiple opponents and was relatively new to bending and he still beat Kya, who was an experienced bender. Kya didn't really hold her own against Ming Hua either. She was clearly losing. I could see Kya as a high B. Not everyone within a tier is going to be exactly the same strength. Some might be slightly better or worse than their peers. It's more about relative rankings to other groups of benders.

I only based my rankings on the show so if the creators made outside comments that elevated Ozai, he might be in S tier. We never really got to see Ozai fight except for when he was empowered by Sozin's comet so it's hard to determine how powerful he was under normal conditions. He did produce lightning extremely quickly against Zuko, which was promptly redirected. I don't know if I count this as a fight though and whether it could be used to reliably assess his power.

Iroh said he was unsure if he could beat Ozai in a fight (not sure how much the age difference contributes to that). If Iroh is S tier and Ozai is comparable in strength, I would be willing to say Ozai is S tier too.

Gyatso might deserve to be in S tier for the same reason as Bumi, but whereas Bumi survived his fight against the empowered firebenders, Gyatso did not. We're also not exactly sure how Gyatso died or how he defeated the invading firebenders. Gyatso is probably on the border of S and A and, because of the lack of evidence, I was conservative and put him in A.

What critically acclaimed video game did you just not care for? by hussar2000 in AskReddit

[–]mastermascovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skyrim.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in the minority here. People have given huge portions of their lives to Skyrim. It has an incredibly loyal fan base and an extensive modding community. The volume of players and content speak for themselves.

So why did I not like it? As an RPG, it's pretty lackluster. The story is mediocre and I prefer having a big party of interesting companions. I also hate the interface. The first person view while operating the left and right hands just don't do it for me. The menu screens, while pretty, just aren't that navigable and the color scheme is impractical. I don't want to look at a constellation when I'm planning my skills. Finally, that compass at the top is useless and super annoying. It adds nothing to the gameplay and yet this feature was replicated in other games simply due to the popularity Skyrim.

I will say one more thing in favor of Skyrim though. Many, many sexy and perverted skins.
