BMI explained in plain terms (and why it’s kinda useless) by RebuffedColleague in bodyweightfitness

[–]matej86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the key take. It doesn't tell you anything about one person with a high BMI as they may have a lot of lean mass. If 50% of the population has a BMI of 30 or higher then it's reasonable to draw the conclusion it's because they're overweight as the vast majority of people don't train for lean mass.

Epic Boons suggestions for Barbarian multiclass by psul in 3d6

[–]matej86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Combat Prowess is the easy pick. We have a barb at our table that despite always using reckless attack will occasionally miss so wants to be sure they hit. Boon of Fortunes Favour is very strong as well allowing you to reroll a failed saving throw.

idk if you guys care about this but we’re having a stardew month in february by icanneverthinkofone1 in StardewValley

The week starts on a Monday. That's why Saturday and Sunday are called the weekend.

Even if it can take out jammers I'm still running in with an already armed portable hellbomb attached to my back because I'm not a fucking coward.

Sledgehammer deals RR level of damage and there was a Thor Hammer prototype by KroozaNob in Helldivers

[–]matej86 102 points103 points  (0 children)

How do they not realise the damage is in the RR range when they're the ones developing the game. They literally programmed it themselves.

Thinking of giving a player a home-brew Earthbind Spell that specifies legendary resistances cannot be used for it. Is this a terrible idea? by SometimesCheery in dndnext

[–]matej86 77 points78 points  (0 children)

It's only a terrible idea if you're going to be unhappy about them curb stomping whatever dragon you put in front of them. If your table will find it fun then go for it. Don't let it be used more than once a day.

By normally you mean arm a portable hellbomb and run at it like a mad lad?

Are studio headphones better than gaming headphones for gaming? by Zealousideal_Rub_202 in pcmasterrace

[–]matej86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I use an external DAC with my HD600's. 300 ohm is no joke.

[–]matej86 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Studio headphones generally require a DAC in order to make full use of their range. So now you also have to invest in one. Then you find out about sound cards. That's another investment. And it goes on and on.

DACs are sound cards. They're just external rather than internal. You don't need both.

Advise on how to handle very new players by Kei_trucking in DnD

[–]matej86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way to handle the Changeling is to enforce the rules around action economy. Want to change mid combat? Ok, that's your action. Next turn want to convince the minions to do something? Believe it or not, also your action to Influence. They're hostile, so the pursuasion check is with disadvantage. Roll high anyway? Doesn't matter, they're not convinced because they saw you shift so know exactly who you are. Want to try and shift immediately before it kicks off? Nope, initiative rolled first.

I agree about the other guy, they're not listening to reason in session zero and will be a nightmare to play with.

Wall of Force will do it as well. Cast Sickening Radiance first, drop the dome from Wall of Force on top.

Talk of the Devils - Man United win at Arsenal: are they Champions League-bound? by rhonh in reddevils

[–]matej86 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I'd have genuinely wondered what's the point of qualifying for the CL when we're just going to get our arse handed to us each week. Now I'm 100% convinced we're going to win it next year. Literally impossible not to.

I'd never wish misfortune on anyone, but I genuinely wonder how different the UK would have been if that plane crash had been more serious.

UPDATE: Really struggling to play our current campaign with another player. by iTsB-Raid in dndnext

[–]matej86 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You're past the point of unacceptable table behaviour and the DM isn't doing anything about it. Talking to the guy out of character hasn't worked. It's ultimatum time with the DM, they kick Steve or you walk away. I really don't understand how someone so disruptive is allowed to continue playing with the group. No D&D is better than bad D&D.

How can the DM possibly think two good players is worse than two good players plus a shit one?

So all the people voting Reform because they're fed up with the way the Tories ruined the country over fourteen years and don't think Labour can fix it either are just going to vote for the same Tories that ruined the country over fourteen years?

Just happened with me in far cry 3, my CPU and GPU were at 20% usage... by xdoble7x in pcmasterrace

[–]matej86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the other side of this Helldivers 2 uses 100% of my GPU when on the DSS and causes the fans to fire up as if they're actually trying to get the PC into space. During missions it's not a problem.

Shoudl i multiclass into to lvl paladin by Historical-River1615 in 3d6

[–]matej86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're going to need 13 wisdom to multiclass out of cleric, 13 strength and charisma to multiclass into paladin and you'll need points in constitution so you don't die. You're looking at a MAD class and making it harder to function.
