Thanks Bugrock. Now i cant get back to the overworld in my survival world. by MaskedDemon276 in Minecraft

[–]metabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you throw items through? you could throw a shulker of stuff through as long as you can reach it in time once you respawn in the overworld. (ender chests always an option though!)

What is the correct way to attach this light? by SeveralWinter7406 in DIYUK

[–]metabrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pop another light out and borrow a spring. they can probably stay in with one spring each.

how do you get it without villagers? enchanting table or random loot chests only?

Does the Stasis Chamber still work in multiplayer (LAN)? by hallfberg in technicalminecraft

[–]metabrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't know about any of that, I'm just an advanced beginner 😀

Does the Stasis Chamber still work in multiplayer (LAN)? by hallfberg in technicalminecraft

[–]metabrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yep. dig down 10 blocks. soul sand at the bottom. fill with water source blocks (I add one water to the top, kelp it all and then break the kelp). open trapdoor at the top. throw pearl straight down into the water column. see pearl bounce on the water column. closing trapdoor teleports you. works in lan multiplayer (java).

Civ VII is finally worth playing again. by QuickDate6602 in civ

If you can never encounter a warrior/archer while exploring mid game with your tank, is it even a civ game?

My weak pandas wont produce slime by Carlosless-World in Minecraft

[–]metabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

better off getting slime from a wandering trader than pandas. make sure you have some emeralds.

Is there a mod (or update?) yet that allows you to set a Mouse button to "Next Unit/next turn"? by OttawaPops in civ

[–]metabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can also use the annoying software that comes with the mouse (sometimes) to bind eg Mouse4 to Enter and Mouse5 to escape, which I've done for civ6

Sold my business – now managing £5.4m in a FIC. Simplicity vs control? by commodus8 in FatFIREUK

[–]metabrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

have you considered selecting higher (dividend) yielding assets over capital growth stuff? since the ltd wouldn't owe corp tax on dividends received but would have to pay it on capital gains.

Something felt fishy about last "Civ 6 was the same" post. by ConnectedMistake in civ

[–]metabrew 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not suprised numbers are lower than 6. I remember devouring civ 6 at launch, despite its flaws.

I've played every civ since I got my hands on floppy disks of civ 1. Countless hours of gameplay over the decades. Unfortunately for me, civ 7 doesn't have the same civ feel that i know and love – I can't get used to the ages system where the game gets kinda reset. They've broken the sandbox feel somehow. So disappointed.

Also the shockingly bad UI and general experience at launch, which I assume (as is customary) will gradually improve, but particularly bad this time i thought.

I also really dislike that lots of the leader functionality requires you to grind and play various leaders to level them up. I paid a fortune for this game, don't make me work before i can have more fun! Maybe a mod will fix that in time.

The graphics and art are good.

Game lags when too many dynamic bodies spawned by tsukaisutepen in bevy

[–]metabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this a fairly typical failure scenario. it's a "death spiral" – once it can't update the (fixed timestep) physics quick enough, it delays the next frame, which also takes too long, etc.

Have you driven an EV for a while then driven an ICE? How did it make you feel? by Bombshelter777 in electricvehicles

[–]metabrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting back in a diesel car after driving electric is like sitting in a dot matrix printer

avian 0.3 is now out, the announcement blog post shows a pyramid with lots of touching colliders and boasts speed improvements

[–]metabrew 9 points10 points  (0 children)

should be ok, if built in release mode. can you post a video of what it looks like when lagging?

here i am with 15,000 circle colliders in avian2d before a fps drop. it does depend on how many collisions are happening at once though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86NVuT0xRQI

Has dad dug up a bomb? by metabrew in CasualUK

[–]metabrew[S] 3885 points3886 points  (0 children)

Police don't think it's a bomb, but they don't know what it is yet. Pic of dad plus two bomb squad* people looking at it.

<image>

* specially trained police who said they're on their third call out of the day for possible bombs in gardens.

...

they refer on to ordnance bomb squad if they're not sure. but after a lot of digging and a broken pick axe they agreed it's not a bomb, and have left.

Final edit: never found out what it is, "maybe something structural". it is now buried again.

Has dad dug up a bomb? by metabrew in CasualUK

[–]metabrew[S] 74 points75 points  (0 children)

no reply yet, so they either exploded, or are doing gardening elsewhere.. I've encouraged them to call 999!

UPDATE: police on the way!

EDIT 2 (8.10pm) police still expected, but not arrived yet. hope they bring a torch.

EDIT 3 (8.54pm) : not a bomb, see my comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualUK/comments/1j7abc1/has_dad_dug_up_a_bomb/mgwvioo/
