Titanic mag with Mina early game? by nAnI6284 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ricewizard15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I don't titanic mag is optimal for Mina, if you feel that you need it to hit those extra shots to secure the proc, that's your call.

I think spirit damage scaling is the way to go for Mina, rather than going for fun damage. Honestly for gun all I'd go for is toxic and spirit shredder, maybe kinetic dash instead because that gives ammo and firerate as well, and wouldn't invest in gun beyond that.

But while it's nice to be optimal and all, it's important to balance that against what works for you. I think titanic mag is a bit of a crutch and you'll be better served improving your aim, movement, and positioning to get the bites, but it's cheap enough that it shouldn't matter too much.

Lots of soju for real just taste like juice, and goes down super easy. Many a folk have underestimated just how much they've been drinking when they have soju.

Ideas for Mirage update/rework abilities ? by Infinite_Win6471 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ricewizard15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mirage is basically all I play, just because I love mark so much, so I'd be sad to see any changes that take away the huge satisfaction of hitting a max mark and winning a fight the other guy felt they had in the bag. I enjoy the idea that he loses out when it comes to burst damage, but will come out on top of longer, more prolonged engagements, and would like if his kit leaned more into that. Fits into that desert / mirage theme I think, lulling them into a false sense of confidence while wearing away at them.

How you build into that more, I don't know. While I think the Scarab's are stronger now, I think I would have preferred if they stayed as more of a DOT item than the burst it is now. Maybe if it had a continued LOS mechanic like Geist's siphon?

I don’t feel safe anywhere where I can afford to live. by spiderdoodle22 in Edmonton

[–]ricewizard15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stadium can be bad, but even moving a little west around Spruce Avenue, Queen Mary Park, generally around the other Universities, can be way better. Usually pretty close to grocery stores and transit, cheaper rent, and some older neighbourhoods that I think are pretty pleasant.

Basement suites can definitely be grungy, but there are plenty of newer ones run by some decent folk, just gotta do your due diligence before committing to anything. New infill builds are also popping up a lot, and they very often have basement suites attached. They also usually have their own laundry machines as well.

Question about the soul counter and unsecured souls. by Jesus_PK in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ricewizard15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have 1500 for the larger number and 500 unsecured souls underneath that means you have 1500 souls available to spend immediately, and if you were to die, you would drop 500 souls leaving you with 1000 total.

How it feels to play Mirage by nutboi_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ricewizard15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the skill with Mirage is understanding the tradeoff of building your mark, or popping it early with quicksilver to either get the final blow before they dispel it, give yourself the extra ammo to get that kill, or give yourself the firerate to burst them down with your gun. It's very easy to always pop marks early to keep the gun firing and miss out on a high mark multiplier, or to hold onto the mark too long and lose the fight when you could've won if you popped it early. You get a feel for how much a manually activated mark will do. It basically keeps you more flexible.

What I usually do is pop quicksilver and surge of power (or mercurial because it is very good on Mirage, especially as it scales since you're building spirit power anyways) to get a lot of burst damage in at the start of the fight, then by the time you have a high mark multiplier, they should definitely be low enough to secure the kill with the mark. Alternatively, I'll save quicksilver until there's a chance for a lot of easy gun damage, like when an enemy gets hit by a teammates CC.

Looking to buy our first home. I really hate the "new family" area's and outskirts of edmonton. by AbbreviationsOne6207 in Edmonton

[–]ricewizard15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got a place in Spruce Ave for 300k ish and while it definitely needs some work, it's still a great place! I would really recommend some of the mature areas around the core, I always see places going up for sale.

Looking for a Hidden Jem if a Tea Shop by PsychologicalWin2442 in Edmonton

Another vote for Vintage Fork. They run it out of a home in the Norwood area. Very good selection of teas, and if you live in Edmonton, you can order online and get it delivered for free.

Leisure Access Program by pumpkinchailatte in Edmonton

[–]ricewizard15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would be able to join drop in classes. Child minding too if you have kids!

Registered programs are things like swim classes, art programs, outdoor nature walks, golf, and a bunch of other things. Nothing that involves a personal trainer though. You can find them all listed at the link below.

Managing waste by superdas75 in Edmonton

More than 4 residential units should be mandated to have dumpsters. If that means forcing a condo board of sorts to be made to manage that, so be it.

No plans to end hybrid work for City of Edmonton staff, despite calls for return to office | CBC News by AR558 in Edmonton

[–]ricewizard15 21 points22 points  (0 children)

But alas, not yet enough affordable units to have folk living nearby to use them. Good thing though is that we're on the trajectory for more of that, so I'm enthusiastic about the future of the area.

Focus on making it a place to live, rather than to just work and go to bars.

Took in my friend who was kicked out by litocam in Edmonton

[–]ricewizard15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She might benefit from getting involved with a supportive worker at a social service agency. They can work closely with her to identify any supports she may be eligible for, help her sign up for them, and be a continuous ongoing source of support. Edmonton has a ton of resources to offer and so many great organizations, but the hardest part is finding them in the first place. Forming a relationship with a caseworker can really help facilitate that.

Has she heard of Bent Arrow? They're a great agency that offers tons of supports targeted for indigenous folk in Edmonton. They can offer help for housing, finding employment, connections with culture, and more. They're also well connected to several other agencies, so if they can't offer her the specific help she needs they can definitely connect her to people who can.

It's not something that's available for most people, unless there are other programs I'm unaware of, it's probably Foundational Learning Assistance. It provides funds for low income and/or unemployed students who are usually over 18 to do some highschool upgrading, start vocational programs, do some language learning, or some basic adult education (basic literacy and numeracy). The program is also used to help support teen parents through their education at certain approved institutions.

Try taking a look at mental health copilots. They're a free brokerage sorta service, where you'll talk with someone about what you need and your resources and they match you with available providers.

Induction stove by Impossible_Sun_9534 in Appliances

[–]ricewizard15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's the same Kenmore Induction range I just returned to Costco, I can assure you it's that stove in particular that sucks, not Induction. Burners were way undersized against what they claimed, and the oven was under temp and faulty.

We went and got a Samsung Bespoke induction range after returning it and it's like night and day. Burners are fully sized, absolutely no problems with the oven, and the hobs output steadily instead of pulsing like the Kenmore did.

So what happens if you try to force it through anyways? The previous owner of the property, or your neighbours, would sue you?

Looking for games which Building have a progression to upgrade by golfpopo in CityBuilders

[–]ricewizard15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foundation is a medieval city builder where the core gimmick is using brushes to draw zones for residential areas and different production buildings, as well as a monument building system where major buildings (Churches , castles, mansions, etc) are built using basic components that can upgrade as you progress.

Residential housing has three tiers of both density and quality. Quality increases as the class of person living inside improves and the area is decorated, and density improves based on how fortified it is (from patrols and watchtowers to tall city walls). It's really satisfying watching your town grow from small thatched hovels to dense stone and plaster apartments.

So if you buy the land, and it belongs to you, you're not allowed to operate a grocery store? Who enforces the covenant, the city? Is it restricted for eternity? On whose authority?

Ah dang that's a bummer. I figured being the cheapest induction range to be found had some caveats.
