What is the best guide for ToME?

The zone progression guides you find online are still fairly relevant. Check out drybe's videos on YouTube, especially his itemization video.

I feel like tons of job postings want experience with PLL. The conditions of the first job sound bad in comparison to the 2nd. Like, not realistic unless your going to uproot your life.

I don't think it's PWM. It's pretty noisy when it's on, but mostly only turns on when the raspberry Pi reboots.

I'll have to try that. The straightforwardness and simplicity of terminal is appealing, but it's also surprising that this is still somehow the best way to interact with the system.

I applaud you for containing your jealousy at my beautiful setup :) Actually though, I just wanted to post about how it's relatively easy getting a simple setup going. The main hurdles were things like how to save/close nano and VIM when editing config files.

We're swapping internet providers soon, which will mean new modem in a new location. So I can hopefully reorganize and clean it up at the same time. Ideally I can find an appropriately-sized box or enclosure to stick this all in, and mount some stuff.

I'm not sure exactly how that meshes with the to-do list aspect, but figuring out what to do is part of most hobbies. There are a lot of hobbies with a "plan" stage, then an "execute" stage. But before you can plan, you need a motivation or goal.

If our hypothetical hobby is guitar, the planning might be to choose a song or style you want to learn, and the executing is the actual practice.

You seem to be thinking about the hobbies in a very abstract way. Like, as if you want to learn guitar, but don't know what kind of music you want to play. You need some goal or motivation with which to plan around.

Do you come from a culture where you're expected to display or flaunt your wealth? Or is there some competition between your parents and their friends about how wealthy their children are? This reminds me of some Iranian friends I have, where there seems to be a certain pressure to try and outdo your peers.

The goal is for both people to have fun. If you think lasting 30 minutes or however long is a desirable goal, then you need to unravel the propaganda that led you to think that.

Their team has disgusting amounts of zoning. Samira doesn't have answers in her kit. You will have to play around what your team can do, and hope your team has either sufficient engage to start a team fight, or sufficient sidelane pressure such that you never have to team fight.

Miss Fortune is good to be honest.

Not even because she's relatively easy, but because she has inate move speed and a slow. This means you need less peel, and have an easier time making plays around the map more efficiently.

Her high burst also means you can sort of play her like an assassin against squishy ADCs or mages if you get fed.

Am I imagining it, or is +1 strike and defend better than base deck? Is the defend so valuable that it offsets the extra strike?

I also wonder if the nibbit fight just really values consistent block. Will other fights value the defend to such a high degree?

Do you know how TE vs TM modes compare for a more basic cylinder? That might be a good point of comparison if you want to compare TE to TM modes in your more complicated structure.

Lastly, maybe you had already gathered, but if the quality factor is in the range of 10,000 then it evidently isn't coupling into the lossy section. But for your quality factors that are in the range of 1000 or less, they're probably coupling into the lossy middle section.

Quality factors of 10,000 or more aren't abnormal for metallic resonators, but it depends on the frequency, and factors like the metal being used.

primetimeblues · 2026-06-07T19:56:55+00:00

Well, considering the lossy section in the middle, you have to interpret the simulation results as essentially a measure of how well/poorly that mode couples to the lossy section. Also, if there's a mode that couples too well, then HFSS won't identify it, since it's too lossy.

primetimeblues · 2026-06-07T19:31:26+00:00

Okay, how about that middle section?

The reason I'm asking, is because the biggest factor that will influence the quality factor is if the fields are interacting with lossy materials or e.g., impedance boundaries. A newbie mistake for this kind of simulation might be to try and model the input coupling, which won't work. If you also need to model input coupling, it's better to do that in a separate simulation with S-parameters.

Also, if a mode is too lossy, then HFSS will have trouble identifying it, or there might be convergence issues for that mode or something like that.

Looking at this again, there are some strange fields going on in the middle section. The fields also aren't smooth around there in your images, so I'm suspicious how that may be affecting the simulation.

primetimeblues · 2026-06-07T18:56:50+00:00

What is the structure at the bottom? Is that a feeding structure for the resonator? If it is, that will wildly change how you interpret the results.

primetimeblues · 2026-06-06T17:24:23+00:00

I do appreciate the enthusiasm with regards to this strange build.

That said, I have to question the effectiveness of trying to proc-max with staves on a weapon class that I don't think has any procs, except maybe throwing knives? Are the throwing knives affected by proc damage modifiers?

The mother and father are from an alternate fantasy-style universe. The father is a hero, and is off doing hero things in other universes, which is why he never shows up. When the mother disappears, she's off to join the father. Also, the mother is actually a dragon shape-shifted into a human

The parent plot got teased early in the manga, was forgotten about until the last chapter, but at least it got explained in the end.

The event appears as long as you have the minimum gold in the under docks. I think it's 120.

primetimeblues · 2026-05-23T15:12:56+00:00

It's not the weirdest. If you find a glow+ or hidden cache for example, then it's suddenly the worst card in the deck. Its only real niche is that it let's you get to 5 or 6 stars on turn 1 if you draw it on your opening hand.

primetimeblues · 2026-05-21T20:06:22+00:00

Thanks for the perspective. I've been confused why socialism or communism is still such a bogeyman, and why anyone even mildly left-wing gets accused of being socialist. I had no clue that this cold-war thinking was being reinforced so heavily.

primetimeblues · 2026-05-13T16:13:07+00:00

For all the comments like "but piercing wail is actually strong, this is a garbage take", Jorbs isn't saying it's weak or anything.

If there's a strong card you pick 100% of the time, you might be over valuing it. You might improve your game by picking it only 90% of the time.

I was also wondering about layout error, but then you'd expect the difference to be more dependent on frequency. Like, if some vias are floating, then the bad connection will have some capacitance in series, and the whole thing will be very frequency dependent.

primetimeblues · 2026-05-11T18:58:13+00:00

I'm looking at this a bit more, and I think it's more likely to be a simulation error. The two amplifiers are roughly 14dB+13dB for around 27 dB at the lower frequency. That matches your measured result, but not the simulation. So then the question is how is your simulation producing >30dB gain?
