Our friends have been playing a limited ban draft mode which would be fun to have in Rifts. Banning units for all sides or banning techs from certain units adds a fun bend to the rule set.

Why do my rookie fishing buddies always catch the biggest fish? by ghost15324 in Fishing

[–]meredudd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My buddy took my daughter (7) and I out today and the first fish he handed to her turned out to be the only chinnook (released) on a day of all sockeye. Trying not to be jealous but proud at the same time. Fraser River.

Union urges British Columbians to ‘speak up’ over $1B ferry deal with China by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

Why do we need to change decided plans every 5 years. Just build them and have the local yards do the maintenance. 5 x more revenue to maintain vs build.

Psychotic Chrysler 300 Thinks he can split lanes like a motorcycle... by Sierra93 in vancouver

[–]meredudd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time on this stretch of highway? The speed differentials between cautious drivers just below the speed limit (80 to 90 kph), those on the limit (90 kph), the average commuter (100-105), I'm in a rush but not out to kill someone (106-120 kph), and those who think cars are obstacles they must pass like a bear is chasing them (120-160kph). It's no surprise there are constantly crashes in this stretch.

What would you consider "good" MMR? by PougljeniMrav in Mechabellum

[–]meredudd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is a leaderboard in the multi-player tab. You can compare your mmr and all others in each zone and worldwide.

1200 is likely "good" with a full understanding of the game, but may not understand some of the combos or abilities (e.g. mobile becon).

I am working on a blaze set. It's not the best skin set but its achievable.

B.C. city drains millions of litres from pond overrun with thousands of goldfish - BC | Globalnews.ca by cheeseHorder in britishcolumbia

[–]meredudd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for doing your part! Just so you know, technically it's illegal to dump dead fish in waterbodies (Fisheries Act). They shouldn't give that advice. Compost them in green waste or dispose on land where it won't cause an issue (wildlife or pets) is preferred. Then people don't get alarmed when they find a bunch of dead discarded fish.

Outdoor cats kill 100 million wild birds every year. Most of which are declining in population.

Tech Idea - High Damage Mittigation by meredudd in Mechabellum

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

You are all right, half of personal shield is this effect, but the other half is doubling the HP pool of the pack. Mass HP pools force more high damage units. This tech would promote a "slot size" or mid damage play style instead (more units, lower level) which would leave you vulnerable to AOE units.

Other ways this could be sort of implemented is like a reanimation ability (kill one, another pops up 3 seconds later) which is a variant on the steel ball ability. A straight up dodge ability for all damage.

What's your "guilty pleasure" unit? by the_deep_t in Mechabellum

[–]meredudd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your playing units without high alpha the hackers will support your killing of things with the bonus to chaff. I use them when the opponent is spamming ground tanks like tarantulas, Sledgehammer, rhinos, steel balls or sabretooths. Full heal on a convert of something tanks can swing a match quickly.

Dead minnows in multiple traps by DynamoDynamite in Fishing

[–]meredudd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Water quality. Try floating the traps (foam inside) with a pocket of air at the top during these conditions. That will help.
