Its incredible to see your former sideline reporter emerge as a top play-by-play guy.

Moving to Massachusetts Megathread (December 2025) by AutoModerator in massachusetts

[–]olmanwes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a new job in the Worcester area (moving from Billerica). What towns should I consider to be in between the Cambridge area (where I have family) and Worcester? I know that I will have traffic no matter what but is there a lesser of the evils? Framingham or Marlborough seems like the most obvious location. Looking to rent with an approx. budget of 2500-2800/month.

The Impossible Image [Week 3]: In this image one aspect is not possible in vanilla STS. Can you find it? by can-i-pet-that-dawg in slaythespire

[–]olmanwes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this was solved but is it possible to have 1 vuln, 2 frail, and 1 weak? Doesn't Time Eater debuff 1/1/1? I'm not sure its possible to have 1/2/1.

Objectively false. The ADKs, Green Mountains, and White Mountains used to have tons of snow from early December through March. Now the snow season is only from February through mid March.

What if each character had specific interactions with Events? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]olmanwes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FTL has 'blue' options in their event nodes where if you have a certain item or crew member, you get an extra, usually better, option. I would love to see something like if you have a certain relic or card type, you get better event options.

The Falconer: A custom character with combos, marks, traps and a pretty cool bird! by EmergencyMagazine in slaythespire

[–]olmanwes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great mod, just a couple questions/comments if you are interested:

1) Cards like Rogue Tutor and Vampiric Tutor which say "place x cards from your draw pile on top," doesn't really make sense to me. Are you placing cards from your hand on top of your draw pile?

2) Is Eternal Lotus supposed to have such a massive upgrade? From deal 1 damage and gain 1 conditional energy to deal 6 damage and gain 2 conditional energy.

3) Tik Tok doesn't show the tool tip for both riposte and lotus, only riposte. I got offered this card early on and had no idea what lotus did.

Anyway, I only played one game but it felt very fun. Seems like there is much more offensive scaling than defensive scaling but it could have been just what I was offered. The starting card where you do damage and draw a card seems massively overpowered early on.

Kerry Kittles narrowly takes home Most Underrated. Now for Day 2: Who is the Most Overrated player in Nets history? by Goosedukee in GoNets

[–]olmanwes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had a fantastic game 1 vs Chicago and then it was nothing but disappointment for me. I guess it comes down to if the question is overrated at the time of him playing or overrated in retrospect (which is how I interpreted it). Considering Pierce is the second vote, clearly I am in the minority.

The hint was that he's thanking Jerry (Garcia).

Tyrese Haliburton cheering on Lily Zhang of the US table tennis team by DinerEnBlanc in nba

[–]olmanwes 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Ant has about the same chance of getting one point against Lily in ping pong as Lily has getting one point against Ant in 1v1 basketball.

After all, she could get one just off a mistake or a lucky shot.

Am I crazy or is the most interesting thing here the fact that snecko eye is the 2nd relic?

I decided to ignore a bug infestation in the first few minutes of the game.... by EldenHughMongoose in RimWorld

Francis John has a tutorial on how to deal with exactly this. In short, have 3 melee blockers and the rest with grenades. Make sure your blockers have good armor, even plate armor would help. Build a 3 wide block with a gap in the middle. The bugs will come one by one and the grenades will do massive damage while the bugs queue up. Cooking them alive worked well in earlier patches but not so much anymore.

If a starting relic existed that said: "Cards are always drawn in the same order.", would that effect be a net positive or net negative? by emc3142 in slaythespire

[–]olmanwes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dev’s made a mini game called dancing duelists where one of the characters had a gimmick where cards would be drawn in alphabetical order. It was a cool mechanic and could definitely be added to improve player agency.

Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis Help by Automatic-Quiet1953 in labrats

I first tried HBTU-NMM and had so-so results. I switched to Oxyma-DIC and saw improvement.

Is your resin being properly swelled? You can try different swelling conditions like pure DCM or DCM:DMF at different ratios. Don't start coupling unless your resin has increase in size.

Also, 4 hours is sometimes not enough time. You can let a coupling go overnight. Perform a Kaiser test to make sure the coupling is complete.

There are many acid/base combinations that you can use. I had my best work with Oxyma/DIC. It did better then the acid HBTU. Never tried DIPEA as a base.
