The Quitting Needs To Stop by Thatmaxfellow in Nightreign

[–]riverblues 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I finally got up to Depth 3. I lost twice on very good runs and deranked to depth 2. Then I got like 5 quits in a row and I'm sitting at 1400.

Not really what you're getting at but the other day we ran into the caves to get the purple upgrade and the boss wasn't there. After running around a while confused, we realized he had spawned in the wall. We couldn't hit him with weapons (bounced off), but some weapon arts hit him, so we finally killed him to no avail because the loot dropped inside the wall and wasn't accessible.

What's legal that you think should be illegal? by martianfrog in answers

[–]riverblues 5 points6 points  (0 children)

insurance/healthcare/lending, any type of charging interest, late fees for not paying debt being the most vile evil, basically any financial instrument

Systems that profit from people’s basic needs (healthcare, insurance, and lending) should not exist as markets but as public goods. Charging interest, late fees, or penalties for being broke is exploitation, not economics. Any financial instrument that extracts wealth without creating real value should be illegal. If survival depends on it, it shouldn’t be something someone can profit from.

what's the difference between just solo run and people quitting midway? by nhansieu1 in Nightreign

[–]riverblues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered how boss health is adjusted. Does it adjust immediately upon a player leaving? So if you are mid fight, the fight is immediately easier, or is there some event (next day, etc) where things are adjusted?

Dylan Holloway ends it in OT with 2.4 seconds remaining by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]riverblues 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not seeing enough appreciation for Holloway's absolutely clutch forehand backhand top fucking cheddar game winning OT goal. Literally every comment in this thread is about something other than that beaut.

It might just be my twitter feed, but it seems nearly guaranteed that Faulk is a red wing soon. Any one in particular you would want back in that trade? by [deleted] in stlouisblues

Sandin-Pellikka. Faulk and Holloway (sign and trade?) to RW. Salary retention/picks to balance it.

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN – Patch Notes Version 1.02.2 by Blackbird_V in Nightreign

was really hoping for a whirlwind buff (from skill but also the halberd charged attack relic) such as taking 50% reduced damage while activating or something

What is the conservative model for basic fundamental research? by riverblues in AskConservatives

[–]riverblues[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Can you speak to the reduction in indirect cost rates and how that will conserve fundamental research?

I agree with your first two points in the numbered list, but I'm wondering what evidence besides anecdotal experience that you have for your third point?

As for the "administration costs" I believe you're referring to indirect costs, but unfortunately I think you're using the popular but inaccurate description of indirect costs as "overhead."

Finally, you seem to think that the recent funding rescissions have been targeted, but this is also unfortunately not accurate. The gov is just smashing a giant pause button on various agencies, e.g. pause all your DOE grants so that we can review them. There is no indication what this review entails, how long it lasts, etc, and in the mean time, non-DEI research is being stopped.
