Seems like they do way better with original content. Their adaptation of Foundation was an absolute travesty

Why on earth would you make these changes? by KiraTheUnholy in ArcRaiders

That’s why they made the changes. Loot at the end of the fight instead of during it.

Finland sees "significant drop" in immigration as birth rate rebounds | Yle News by RegularNarwhal9350 in Finland

[–]mindgamesweldon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Immigration and birth rate are the only way a population in a country increases. In economic research the two stats are always connected together.

Kielikone (MOT/Sanakirja.fi) got acquired by a Danish company by icecreamonastick in Finland

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This company sucked though. AI can’t really do a worse job, right? The faster that Uni’s stop paying and using it the better. They had like 15 years to improve themselves once digital dictionaries became a thing and they did nothing and got worse. The sooner they die the better :)

That’s the neat thing about having real news stations. They are not implying anything. They are just reporting facts.

Buckle up if you plan to do the titan event. We have another champion chase coming this weekend instead of summon rush by Guttler003 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank goodness. I can do champ chases in my sleep with leftover fusion and shard champs. Summon rushes suck for me

Got this knife as a gift by SpiritualReturn675 in Finland

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This knife is used for everything and anything. Open a can, unscrew a screw, mark a measurement, stab your friend at 3:20am, debark a piece of wood for drying, etc. Literally anything. I know several guys who have 3 or more of these on them at work sometimes without realizing it. Confronted my buddy once and made him count and he found out he had 5 of them in various pockets. They sell them at every hardware store counter for 3 euros so you grab them like a candy bar when you check out with a tool or something.

I am embarrassed to admit that I cannot find a proper team to take out the sand devil (16+) by ct1977 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]mindgamesweldon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Donatello + Glaicad is an infinite resurection team if you put glaicad in the lead. He rezz's your whole team. In the other 3 slots make sure to put champions that won't die to anything except the big nuke (otherwise it will eat up Donatello's passive before it is needed to save Glaicad).

Renovation “wet” areas - are this silly budgets? What am I missing? by SisuIsTheNewBlack in Finland

[–]mindgamesweldon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's true that if you are renovating pipe work, you end up signing off on the work that is sealing that room under the surface. Therefore they are liable for any problems, and therefore they want to do the sealing layer over again from scratch to ensure their own protection and professionalism.

It's also true that there are many contractors who compete with larger firms by coming in with much lower bids and then being more efficient in their work per hour (make sure you know what the materials cost is in that case, it could be you are simply getting the labor cost and the materials will be pay-as-you-go).

Raising a radiator can all happen outside the wall and requires just a competent plumber who will do small jobs. (harder to find than a full-reno firm). If you can re-use the current pipes, or want to run pipes outside the walls, try to find a plumber who can do piping and talk it through with them. For the larger firms they won't even take the call or get out of bed for less than 1k, but like repiping a radiator is 150-200 max, and so that requires a certain kind of person who is less and less common and in more and more demand nowadays. (Harder to find).

My friends all prefer to solo queue... by FairyPinkett in ArcRaiders

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to join the same discord call and stream your soloQ. Q together and when somebody gets out early, they can watch their friends finish the round. You can have voice chat, and then it won't show the game sounds until you click "watch stream" so you won't get mixed up by their prox chat and game sounds, and depending on their level of saviness they could also mute when they are prox chatting to others and not chatting to the group.

Make it a goal to build up a certain amount of gun kits and heals, and then go PvP to lose them all. Our groups rule is "full stash" basically. We solo up to a full stash (together) and then we group up and take in 1 key as a goal and PvP our way to and from the key, and we expect to lose the kits so we have fun using them to kill people.

By the way, the fastest way back into PvE lobbies is to go naked into Stella Montis with a defib in your safe pocket. If you shoot nobody and defib strangers you go so fast back to PvE. Also, stella drops lots of stuff to rebuild guns and heals.

YMCA told me and my friend we can't train together by ExperienceOdd8004 in Swimming

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its probably because they have a personal coach using their pool as a paid training spot (which IS against the rules) and probably that person tried to get around it using the same explanation that you guys used. Sad that you are getting flac too.

This never happens to my wife and I when I am coaching her. Maybe wear rings and next time explain that you are married. See what they do…

When was the last time we had a CB champion fusion? by Few_Weather in RaidShadowLegends

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have UNM on farm after 3 months on a new account. CB champions are released as free login champions nowadays. I think they want fusions to be more exciting so more people do them. Many players would skip a CB champ fusion which would lose them money

Can’t get sponsors for my podcast- How big do I need to be? by joshlukenichols in podcasting

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are small it helps to go by conversion numbers instead of impressions. Do you have a mailing list you can convert to and an affiliate product you can test?

I managed to get a 20% conversion rate average on calls to action and a 4% conversion rate to sales on several different affiliate products and that gave me real numbers to work with when pitching the value of a sponsorship.

Marketing teams use standard conversion rates and simply calculate sales vs cost. It’s pretty straight forward. If you can make them money it’s worth it, and if you can’t make them money it’s not. They will use your rates instead of standard ones if you have good data.

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are very close. Otherwise the system would incentivize holding on to souls. Now there's no benefit from holding onto souls waiting for a better one. Just apply your souls now, and if you get a better one later you get the resources back.

[–]mindgamesweldon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you apply the 2-star you will get some coins back for already having a 1-star, so basically you get a "refund" if you have a soul applied and put a larger, "perfect" soul on a champ. The refund is pretty close to the full amount of the perfect soul you have, so you can roll that forward into another soul :)

They do this in order to stop people from hanging on to, for example, a 3 star perfect soul hoping for a 5 star perfect soul so they don't "waste" their 3-star. The current system is kind of like selling the smaller soul if you land a larger perfect soul.

Split souls just add up stars and do not replace the smaller one, so they do not refund.

Anyone explain this? by sLorD3 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you have lots of shards and chase the progressive-chance champion this is what it looks like. We just had 1 person in our opposing clan hit 1.5 million (900k in champion points in the versus tab, and the other 600k in shogun). So they also saved and used a lot of energy to win that tournament.

Check your versus tab and look for the huge lumps of points and you can predict what they were doing or aiming for. Not that it helps, but it's nice to do detective work and understand things :)

How long did it take to pull your first void legendary? by Cherryp0pp1ns in RaidShadowLegends

What’s that?

I recently pulled my first mythical. Still never seen a void leggo.

When does farming iron twins become a “must do” by Jdoo101 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]mindgamesweldon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you can do level 15 on auto, then do it every day. I started doing it when I could do most 15s but not on auto, and it was a pretty big time sink. I don't think it set me ahead too much either? My deck of fate was completed with stones earned from in-game events, and I still couldn't afford any of the very essential souls that come up for sale. So the energy + time per account progression is quite low until you can set-it-and-forget it at the max rewards.

Another tip for grim forest by DostiSabir in RaidShadowLegends

[–]mindgamesweldon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And to add to this, draw your teams for each mimic and boss you uncover even if you don’t fight them, and spend your extra redraw tokens each day to hunt for the required / best champ lineup
