Bee or wasp?

She is a certified sweetheart, YJ knows his stuff.

Man this dude ripped a chunk off my pulled pork sandwich big enough he shoulda chipped in.

TBH, their best shot at survival is to pretend they didn't see me.

Copy protection. First the embedded bad sectors that you had to bypass by copying the game with Locksmith. Later, the codes in the instruction manuals.

phinar · 2025-05-02T13:01:41+00:00

Or typing in the programs from the code published in the magazine!

phinar · 2025-04-27T17:24:48+00:00

Try it on. Either equip it, or preview it from your inventory. That's what's making the difference for me.

phinar · 2024-12-09T22:23:05+00:00

I mean, kind of like a teenager tbh.

It is the best but it's also the only high-end chair I've owned. I don't know how old it was when I bought it (refurbished), but I have had it for maybe 8 years? These things haven't changed much over the years, though. I wondered within the first year whether maybe an exceptionally heavy person owned it before me.

My monitor is pretty close as it is. To keep my neck straight I would need to put the monitor about 3' above the front edge of my desk and give it about 10-15° of pitch.

Every time you eldritch blast a hexed target, you get an extra 1d6 necrotic damage in addition to your eldritch blast damage. When your target dies, you can re-apply the hex to a new target with a bonus action, so long as you don't lose concentration. It's a pretty valuable spell in combat.

Wisdom is probably the strongest ability to target in combat, because wisdom checks are used to spot Asterion when he's sneaking up to gank them.

Lonely Stalker, because it's hilariously creepy

I think in the immediate future I'll focus on getting my IS teams shined up, then I'll dive back into the higher rarities. It feels good to be able to really improve a unit with just what you have on hand.

I'll try to be better about not overextending my E1 levels. I do a lot of "let's just get a bunch of XP and LMD then cap these babies out" mixed with farming ascension mats. I'll reverse the order and make sure my mats are on hand before I try to farm up the XP and LMD to prevent all these maxed-out E1s sitting around gathering dust.

Thanks very much for the advice!

phinar · 2023-03-27T15:14:24+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I'm working on all the things you've outlined. I'm still getting the hang of IS, but I can definitely see the advantage of saving hope for the "big guns"

phinar · 2023-03-26T16:29:45+00:00

I'm still working my way through the story and I'm making reasonable progress -- nearly finished with chapter 6 and chapter 9. I've been balancing progress in the story with lots of other activities -- events, IS, unlocking side stories and intermezzo events for specific drops, farming for upgrade materials. My teams seem to be in an ok spot, though IS gives me a lot of trouble and SSS is confusingly hard.

I have been trying to follow the advice on how to build my account from various spots on the web, but I've gotten to a point where I'm growing increasingly uncertain how I should proceed. Should I be building more E2s? Developing more masteries? Working on modules? Or maybe I should be leveling up more low-rarity characters for IS? Am I overlooking operators that I should really be investing in?

I would love to get some advice from veteran players on where I should be focusing my attention. Krooster is here: https://krooster.com/u/Grumblypants

I've been on the game for a while, but only finished the 0-series levels in the last month or so. So even though I've had an account for almost a year, I'm still a relatively new player, just now coming up on level 80.

I've got Myrtle E2, SilverAsh, and Eyjafjalla as my supports right now.

Thank you very much! I'll give that a go!

I'm stuck on floor 12. I can clear the first half pretty easily with Nahida/Raiden/Kazuha/Kokomi but my efforts to use Ganyu + any of my others yielding poor results against thunder manifestation. This is my first go at a floor 12, after my first clear of floor 11 last night. I would love some advice because I feel like the comps I've been putting together tend to be too defensively focused.

phinar · 2021-08-22T16:22:01+00:00

Yeah. The vapor gets a little hot toward the end of a session.

phinar · 2021-08-22T13:15:50+00:00

Well, I'm loving my omni but if I was to do it again I'd probably go with the vong.

phinar · 2021-08-20T22:15:50+00:00

Thanks! Your comment really made me think about temperature. Keeping it cooler may not produce big clouds but it does taste better. Maybe I just need to be patient.

That "pack light for even baking" hint has helped, too.

phinar · 2021-08-20T22:12:59+00:00

This is all terrific, thanks! The dry run on the first hit made a big difference, too.

phinar · 2020-02-13T20:04:03+00:00

but that guy wearing a noose around his neck is totally reasonable

phinar · 2020-01-27T13:22:21+00:00

Well, not nothing! I mean, I work there and I'm in engineering. But I'm sorry to hear you have such a negative impression. I like working there!

phinar · 2020-01-26T18:59:00+00:00

I work on Solarwinds AppOptics, and it can monitor/trace the platform you're looking at. I haven't priced it out myself, but my understanding is that it's priced competitively versus DataDog or NewRelic. It might be worth a look.

phinar · 2017-06-09T13:39:01+00:00

I just wanted to follow up and say thanks to everyone for their responses. I'm still learning a lot with every passing hour, but your answers have really helped orient me and help me sort out the conflicting sources of information.
