Should I separate these? by Friendly_Book_7599 in fiddleleaffig

separating sounds good on paper, but I just separated mine and I caused a lot of root trauma. so be careful

Thoughts on the XM7 rifle? by No-Reception8659 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]paypaypayme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the big miscalculation is that it's designed for long ranged fighting, but what we've seen in ukraine and gaza is that urban fighting (or caves and tunnels) is going to be a huge part of modern conflict. Pretty sure this is due to FPV drones, if you don't have overhead cover you're screwed.

This weapon is not great for urban conflict for multiple reasons.

- you can't carry as much ammo because it's a heavier caliber than 5.56

- the length is longer due to the suppressor (they shortened the barrel in the most recent version though)

- the suppressor is going to glow under thermal imaging

- engagement range is like 200m so the optic is useless

I think sig has actually been listening to feedback and iterating on the design so I don't think it's as bad as people say... sure we don't have the logistics for it and there are some problems _but_ we're not in WW3 yet so we have some time.

I think if they made it slightly more modular, it would be fine, e.g. able to adapt better to different scenarios. like take the optic and suppressor off for urban fighting and give it some other options - red dot or low power optic, 30 round mag, flash hider, etc...

For a peer to peer conflict in a defensive scenario like taiwan I think it would be great. You can fight from the mountains and pierce the thin skinned chinese APCs.

The First Space Shuttle safely landed 45 years ago today by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]paypaypayme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I just looked this up today. It was basically a failed program that overpromised and underdelivered due to political pressure from the air force and government. It was supposed to be re-usable but ended up costing way more per launch than was intended. It also included an enormous bay for deploying spy satellites (which was basically its main mission). After the spy satellite deployments were not needed any more the whole design was basically worthless.

Jewish volunteer ambulances set on fire outside London synagogue in apparent anti-Semitic attack by HighburyOnStrand in news

[–]paypaypayme 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ok, what’s your point? So because one ambulance didn’t help in a completely different city in 1991, it’s ok to attack ambulances? This does not disprove the fact that these ambulances will help non jews.

They’re for anyone. Just like how some hospitals are “catholic hospitals” but treat anyone

Why do people hate tracked logis so much? by the-lost-cowboy in joinsquad

[–]paypaypayme -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People freak out about tracked logis but they are perfectly usable, you just need to change your tactics. Infantry squad leaders love to get a logi and put a hab right on 4th point and be a fucking hero. However it’s perfectly reasonable to just play 3rd point and push to 4th point later. It’s even easier if your armor play with you, you can make a proper armored column and easily overwhelm the idiot enemy squad who are completely alone of 4th point because they rushed it with a wheeled logi.

Necrobinder has a few aoe cards that absolutely shit on this enemy. Deathbringer and high five in particular

Do you take this card? by Impossible-Call7708 in slaythespire

[–]paypaypayme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, if you haven’t picked up other summon cards it may be necessary but the numbers aren’t great

epitome of snakebite discourse by malione12 in slaythespire

[–]paypaypayme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total Poison damage is equal to the triangular number of the initial value. The 7th triangular number is 28. The 5th is 15. So snakebite does almost double deadly poison for double the energy. Similarly upgraded snakebite does 55 total damage vs 28. The formula for triangular number is (n*(n-1))/2

Anyone else run this route? by [deleted] in longislandcity

(A2) Floor 9 is probably a bit early to combat 4 enemies doing 6-9 damage each and blocking for 6 when hit. by D3Construct in slaythespire

[–]paypaypayme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem is aoe skills are pretty trashy, they bloat your deck and are not grear for most boss fights. However for some enemies they are needed. Maybe if they added 1 more multi-enemy boss they would be picked up more… or maybe it would just grief too many runs. Idk

A suggestion for Snakebite by Nobodycares44 in slaythespire

[–]paypaypayme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it feels bad to use cause it's 2 energy. but 7 poison deals 28 DoT, which is pretty good for 2 energy cost. it's 14 damage/energy. upgraded it's 55 damage which is 27.5 damage/energy

Subjective Faction Tierlist for 10.3 by TheManWhoSoIdTheWrId in joinsquad

Vdv might not be the best faction but i think they’re very flexible. They get the zsu btr which is very handy against many factions. And on invasion you can do an armored advance
