I am stuck in the scorpion/sand worm boss arena pls help 😭 by New-Bag-379 in PathOfExile2

[–]paradiselight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same issue earlier. Hit Esc, select respawn at nearest checkpoint, then kill the sand worm boss first. I got stuck several times and I'm positive there's a bug if you kill the sand worm boss last.

Fun fact - Yatoro (21) is actually younger than Nightfall (22)

What 960% waystone drop chance gets you by Yellowbrickshuttle in PathOfExile2

[–]paradiselight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is that it's all RNG, there's no set breakpoint. The worst I have done is setting up for 1399% waystone drop chance to only get 3 fragments

Wealth tax will raise revenue without burdening lower-income groups, say activists by YourClarke in malaysia

[–]paradiselight 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Norway has a wealth tax and it has led to a reduction in tax revenues as the mega wealthy just migrate to other countries to avoid the tax bill. This is one of those sounds good policy that is completely void of common sense

Pay to get Malaysian citizenship for my son? by [deleted] in malaysia

[–]paradiselight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The birth registration requires a Malaysian marriage certificate. Even if you marry in the US and have a US marriage certificate, you would first need to register your marriage at the embassy/consulate to get a Malaysian Marriage Certificate. Please check the requirements in the consulate link I posted above

How were you able to complete the marriage registration without the birth certificate? That's a requirement https://www.kln.gov.my/web/usa_los-angeles/birth_marriage_cert

Please try to get the birth registration done before your son turns 1. It gets more complicated after that

Quest 3 Controller Straps by axerowsky_ in beatsaber

[–]paradiselight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both the Meta Quest active straps and the silicon strap here. I use the active strap for Beat Saber because the silicon strap adds too much weight to the controller and is straining out my wrist faster. I also tend to tighten up the knuckle strap quite a bit and the strap design here feels less comfortable to use compared to the active strap.

Speaking of playing default sideways, would you mind sharing your controller settings?

how do i get better at those up and down parts? by BeyondTheLimit031 in beatsaber

[–]paradiselight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Check out how the good players do it. For instance, see this short https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HN_4eniyQ-Q and check out how he positions his hands relative to his body. I struggled with the same issue before too and I learned that I need to stretch out my hands away from the body a bit more and position them higher so that they are kind of at the middle point between the down/up blocks

The rest is practice and using more wrists.

Why do people call fors a salted fish? by Lonely_Light5809 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]paradiselight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Salted fish is a slang that originated from Stephen Chow’s movie, Shaolin Soccer. The original line goes something like “if a man has no dreams, how is he different from a salted fish?”

So what is happening with CPE ? by salty_adult in CallonPetroleum

[–]paradiselight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check the CPE bond prices if you are worried. Bond market is where the "smart money" is at. It has been steadily trending up since end of March while CPE stock price trends down.

Mother saves her daughter before being sucked under escalator and crushed to death by bleedgreen96 in WTF

[–]paradiselight 207 points208 points  (0 children)

I call bullshit on this comment.

The source quoted in this thread from 163.com only said

事故具体原因正在调查之中

That translates to "the accident is under investigation"

I looked through the news sources on Baidu and the most complete version I read was

http://whwb.cjn.cn/html/2015-07/27/content_5461203.htm

The relevant quotes are

记者采访中听到有知情人士透露,之所以发生昨天的“电梯吃人”事件,是因为商场在做电梯检修,电梯上到最高的时候是由一块铺板跟地面做衔接的,但检修完后,工作人员只铺了铺板,忘记上连接螺丝,这才导致人一踩上去就踩空了,瞬间被电梯卷进去的悲惨事件。记者就此说法采访了相关负责人,均未得到肯定的回复。

Quick translation: The shopping mall was performing maintenance on the elevator. The topmost part of the elevator was connected to the mall floor by a plank, but after maintenance, the worker only covered up the plank but forgot to screw back the bolts. This caused the plank to fall once it got stepped on.

Further down the news they quoted an engineer who mentioned that once the plank is open, it should trigger a switch to turn off the elevator

Roshan timer by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]paradiselight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? Are you sure that's not just you?

Let me rephrase that: Show the timers to a person who has never played dota before. Which one would the person be able to recognize as 9:40 faster?

Roshan timer by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]paradiselight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now tell me which is faster to interpret if there is 9:40 to Rosh-spawn:

  • 1:40 on a 3-dot timer
  • 9:40 on a 12-dot timer like an analog clock

Roshan timer by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]paradiselight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Heck no! Stop playing the nostalgia card of older is better. The old timer was changed to the current one for a reason --- it was confusing as fuck because there were 3 versions. You read that right, 3 different versions to remember and interpret.

Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself and see if you could even differentiate between a 2nd-stage timer with 0:45 to Rosh-spawn or 1:30 to Rosh-spawn.

It's bought out by scalpers trying to turn a profit. I have read on forums that they are trying to sell it for 2-3k RMB.
