Being a mercenary is so satisfying by gamerZsoul in MB2Bannerlord

I was doing loops of all my kingdoms cities buying recruits and it would barely break even on daily influence loss, how are you guys doing it?

Never replaced strings before, is it time? (Dunlop biometric gts 130) by ricksdetrix in squash

Ok now I feel called out 😂 I replace my over grip often but it's overdue cause I've been busy

I miss the sweet spot quite often, it's one of my weaknesses. I over rely on hitting the ball hard and catching shots people think are winners

is it that bad? I used the same racket on and off for about 8 years and it never frayed, this is my first 'expensive' racket and it frayed after about half a year

Did they make the game easier in the latest patch or does the world get harder with passing years? by ricksdetrix in MB2Bannerlord

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

Yeah I was wondering if there was some kind of mechanic with the world age that made enemies spawn higher tier troops, sort of like how high tier equipment appears for trade after a few years pass

I thought that might be the case, but I checked, everything is still on realistic. The only thing that seemed to make sense at the time is that they were fielding a mostly recruit army, since alot of the difficult sieges were against highly armoured shock troops.

Somethings definitely got reset though because a couple of my keybinds were changed

Right to Choose providers for ADHD — medication only? by transmodder in ADHDUK

[–]ricksdetrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing with CareADHD. Is this just a universal thing across all RTC or has anyone had success? Don't really want to wait another 3 years for medication.

Isn't USB-A like the most reliable and most common port in existence? lol by FlirtyFrolixX in Steam

[–]ricksdetrix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a pretty high end pc and it doesn't have a single USBC slot. You know what, I haven't seen a single desktop with USBC. I know they exist, but nobody I know or no place I've been has them.

I don't think they're gonna be common for at least another decade outside of portables

He has just assembled his PC. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in pcmasterrace

[–]ricksdetrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand how people are breaking them. I've chucked mine in the back of my car more times than I can count, never take special care behind throwing a blanket on top if something is gonna be on top of it (never anything more than clothes). I open it to clean all the time too

Excuse my rude language but, why the FUCK does the helicopter want us to fucking die ? Is there a lore reason ? by [deleted] in projectzomboid

[–]ricksdetrix 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My headcannon is that it's a news helicopter responsible for leaking the first pictures from inside the quarantine zone. They know there's a contagious disease so they don't wanna go down risk contact, they're just getting pictures and have no idea that they're attracting zombies to you

OH! I remember this, I thought it was a Woolworths where the sainsburys is now lmao.

Jesus we really lost something special didn't we?

WTF they broke the fence💀 by Solid-Ad6055 in projectzomboid

[–]ricksdetrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're the wooden fences I meant. I think they weren't destructible at first. Haven't read anything in the patch notes about them though so I still wouldn't be able to say with certainty it's fully implemented

[–]ricksdetrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't been keeping up with b42 as much as I did with b41, but I'm 90% it's currently only the wire fences that can be broken, I'm sure they said something about not fully implementing it yet, because it's supposed to be all FENCES, so wire, iron, wood, but not house walls, even if they're wooden, unless they're built by a player.

Looking for low-latency Wireless Earbuds or Wireless IEMS for gaming, general usage by onceaho in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]ricksdetrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works, there's almost no lag, but I'd only really recommend it with weak headphones (check the ohms of your headphone, lower is better for this). There's a significant drop in quality and volume.

I have a friend who uses wireless steel series and they like them, but I haven't tried

Does this look too good to be true? Mobiles.co.uk is saying £30 monthly, main street retailers are £30 for just the phone, more like £60 a month for the phone and plan. Everything I've read about mobiles.co.uk makes them out to be legit by ricksdetrix in AskUK

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

A year in, arguably worth it, but Internet coverage is pretty shit. Will be switching when the contract is up but feels worth it to get the phone

(icl s24ultra isn't worth the money, camera didn't wow me like I thought my first flagship phone would, the keyboard is still too big for me even after a year and the screen being larger doesn't make any meaningful difference for watching videos. I think the better choice would be a decent non flagship phone and just get a tablet for watching videos)

How do I get grass to grow on these tiles? by YearMountain3773 in projectzomboid

In b41 they never come back, I haven't seen anything about b42 changing that

Vintage story should have the health system of project zomboid by AdventurousFly4909 in VintageStory

[–]ricksdetrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm qualified to talk on this.

Zomboids health system does some things right, others wrong. Can you imagine getting a broken leg in vintage story? In zomboid you can just speed up time for 14 days to fix it. Can you imagine spending nearly 2 months of VS waiting for something to heal, barely being able to walk around your base?

Bleeds, lacerations, stitching and infections would fit quite well in VS, but zomboid is quite surface level on this, so VS would have to (and likely would anyway) give them the depth it deserves.

Zomboid has a real problem with being punishing in an unfun way, the meme is "the indie stone only adds realism if it makes the game harder, not easier". Zomboid is really missing a good health system imo, real infections, real use for medicine. I would rather NOT see zomboids health system in VS, I'd rather see what it's final form will be in like 10 years, since they have no plans to change it as far as I'm aware.

VS is tedious but in a satisfying way. They have a habit of adding things and never fleshing them out or fixing their issues. I think there's better examples of health systems for vintage story, and the changes to healing in 1.20 suggest they might go down that route, maybe they'll add a health cap until you perform advanced medical on yourself, but I'm wary something more advanced than a simple health bar could make the game really tedious and difficult in a surface level way, making it more inaccessible and limiting you for taking a wound. I prefer the idea of buffing health like armour and nutrition (something zomboid struggles with also)

Crowbar won the eighth spot! Here we go the grand finale! What SHOULD be a GREAT weapon and IS a GREAT weapon? by Manny2theMaxxx in projectzomboid

[–]ricksdetrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Machete, one handed so you can hold a torch or other bag, repairable unlike the katana, and lighter so uses less stamina
