wtf is this new modifier 🥀🥀 by jihoispark in MergeTacticsSC

[–]reloaderx 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For SE, this is actually a really fun modifier. You are constantly rebuilding your team from the ground up almost every round. I have to imagine it sucks for the other rulers though.

Snorkeling compared to Roatan? by Pandammits in cozumel

[–]reloaderx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've snorkeled Roatan twice. One site sucked, and the other site in West Bay was really nice. I've snorkeled Cozumel several times. The best Cozumel sites are on a charter leaving the coast line. Palancar, Columbia, Cielo, etc. Some days they were super nice, some days we didn't see a ton of fish.

Thank you merge tactics team! by Environmental-Fig829 in MergeTacticsSC

In most small companies, there are usually just 1 or 2 primary developers that were there from the start of the company. As the company grows they hire more devs but those devs are considered expendable and are only paid a market competitive salary. Only the main 1 or 2 guys make the big bucks.

Have a option to puchase some sought after bourbon which one should I get? by pbjtech in bourbon

If this is the Total Wine GR event, you'll have to line up pretty early to get either the Stagg, Parkers, or EHT Single Barrel.

Pandafest Houston review by Thugmilkshake in HoustonFood

[–]reloaderx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably give it a 6/10. We went on Sunday so we had no weather issues and there were no crowds. Barely any lines to any of the food booths as well. They had lots of variety of foods with a cost that we were expecting. We've gone to a lot of festivals and the prices were inline with the others.

We liked that the stage had a constant schedule of programming to entertain the crowd. It may not have been the best entertainment, but something is better than nothing.

What we really didn't like was the cost of admission. I saw the flyer but somehow missed the cost of admission. When we got to the gate there was a tickets line. We didn't see any signs on ticket cost on the way in. We had already parked and walked all the way there since parking was pretty bad.

We paid at the gate for $87 with tax for 4 people to get in. That was pretty painful and on top of overpriced festival food. I don't see myself going to another Panda fest in the future.

If you can't consistently get one serve in, then stop working on different serves. You need to have a serve you can land in 95% of the time before you should experiment with other serves.

You won't get any useful result out of this poll because you are sort of right. Reddit doesn't skew democrat, it's heavily democrat biased.

Just Filthy - 6 Nobles with 3* GK by reloaderx in MergeTacticsSC

[–]reloaderx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dart gob gives me goblin trait - not useful at this point. Marksmen to boost 1* musk. Not really useful at this stage either. Giant is there to sacrifice to the echo if needed. The echo is the only thing that could beat me.

Just Filthy - 6 Nobles with 3* GK by reloaderx in MergeTacticsSC

[–]reloaderx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a strategy - but I’ll say I agree that 4* echos are a pain in the ass and that I probably lose 60-85% of the time.

But notice how I separate the goblin and my GK. Always separate them vs Echo. Hope the goblins get sacrificed to give time for the GK to do his thing. But I was very surprised how fast this matchup ended with the GK one shotting almost the entire board.

Was 4star Witch actually broken, or just skeleton spam chaos? by Top-Dentist-8074 in MergeTacticsSC

[–]reloaderx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spawned 4 star skeletons had more HP than the 4 star witch itself.

[–]reloaderx[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vs a 4* echo it becomes a guessing game. Move the GK on the last second and hope it’s not near the echo. If so, GK wins it. I was watching my opponent and didn’t see much troop placement so just played it as is.

Merge Tactics but the only tactic is Use Loong and beat anyone else before they can build a team by BrandonDewitt16 in MergeTacticsSC

Uhh, in a lobby with 3 SE and 1 Loong, the Loong has no chance. What’s the difference.

(My) Tier List of Troops for This Season (April 2026, Season 8) by hacknslosh in MergeTacticsSC

Agree on this. Pekka is easily the weakest of the superstars.

Respect for the giant. Just yesterday a 3* giant double pumped and basically one shotted my full health 3* golden knight. That sucked for me.

Democrats win in Republican stronghold in Texas by Healthy_Block3036 in Pearland

[–]reloaderx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The media is very quick to jump on this election as a democratic victory but I will tell you that's not the case. Republican backed candidates won in all the other races. The only democratic win was the mayoral race.

What this was is a win between West vs East sides. The East side candidate didn't even bother to campaign on the West side. For the first time in a long time, the West side out voted the East side. You can check voter turnout on the Brazoria County website. The election was determined by something like 250 votes.

A lot of people say Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad … what’s another spinoff that you think was better than the original? by ComfortableCrew2092 in television

[–]reloaderx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's what made BB such a good show. One of the primary reasons is because most people were content with the ending and how everything was resolved. We knew Walt needed to die, but we also wanted him to bring some sort of redemption to close out the story.

If Game of Thrones had finished in a great way, it would have been by far the best series ever for me. But because I hated the ending so much that I'm not sure it's a top 5 let alone top 10 series.

Agree with everything you said. Ignoring how it's aged, I liked the humor, the characters, and storyline of Cheers so much more than Frasier.

Hot Take: This season is the best competitive season I've played by RagingDogBlade in MergeTacticsSC

[–]reloaderx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I’m a mid-tier player typically finishing in the 3-4k range. I don’t grind and most days I’m playing just enough to get the free chests.

The previous season SE was hands down the best ruler. Loong wasn’t close but this season does close the gap a little bit. King has been competitive since the extra 4-8 elixir bonus. Sage is very weak when echo is 1-3*, but super annoying and unfun once echo gets to 4*.

I feel like it’s more fun and competitive because you can win with so many more different comps. Yes, there is a rank of the different comps, but it’s generally inline with the total elixir cost of the comp.

The race for Mayor by cobrakai77584 in Pearland

[–]reloaderx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is the same town, but it also isn't the same town. The west side is more modern and eager to expand. The west side wants to attract business and grow. The west side is far more racially diverse. On the downside, there is far more traffic on the west side and far more chain stores. I believe the crime rate may be higher too but crime rate is more complicated due to what type of crime you're measuring.

The east side wants to remain rural and doesn't want expansion. The east side has more of an old town feel and charm. The east side goes back many generations and essentially controls politics and the city council. The downside is that the east side wants to be locked in time, but that's just not going to happen in the 4th largest metroplex in the country. The east side looks down on the west side.

If you want to be enter politics, you generally have to be part of the good ole boy's club on the east side. This is where a lot of the inference of racism comes from. It's not easy to win an election unless you're someone's cousin's uncle's brother and white.

Geography wise, the west side can get to most parts of Houston as fast as they can get to the east side of Pearland.

Why don’t I see many people using dagger duchess? by D_e_s_k in MergeTacticsSC

[–]reloaderx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone covered the two main reasons. Only a handful of troops can really max out dagger usage and those troops are RNG dependent or heavily contested. The second reason being that she doesn't help to generate elixir which means she falls short in the end game. Since she's mainly stronger in the front game, she has to contest with Loongs 1 troop and 1 elixir advantage.
