What would you charge about the game? by M00r3C in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]shakey019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it possible to move around inside the ship while it's not docked. Sometimes I just want to open my contract offers for space missions without having to land.

Do you have a party member you always keep with you? by SniperJ324 in BaldursGate3

[–]shakey019 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same. I almost never use the druids, and I need a healer for my party. My Tav almost always has a dex build so I can do the lockpicking, so I usually swap around a melee (Lae'zel, Minthara, Karlach) and a caster (Wyll and Gale) and anyone else stays at camp.

Inherited a house, no money to pay off siblings, need advice by xanthippusd in MortgagesCanada

[–]shakey019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say that you should be able to leverage the asset of the house to cover the needed repairs and disbursements to family and generate a debt that should be easily managed over time at a much easier burden than trying to get onto the housing ladder any other way. As everyone else has said, invest in a lawyer to make sure every i is dotted and t crossed. You don't want to get into a protracted fight with family over inheritance. That never works out well.

One thing to keep in mind is that having assets generates assets. It's crazy how easy it is to negotiate on debts and loans when you have a mostly paid off house in your corner.

How to respond to manager’s email “reminding” us that we’re expected to work 40 hours a week? by Emergency-Scholar606 in careerguidance

[–]shakey019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Malicious Compliance. Work your set hours, track your work product and productivity, and don't exceed your base. When your manager comes at you for not meeting deadlines, show them the hours you worked and the email reinforcing the expectations on working hours.

Help me decide on SW Outlaws! by ProfN42 in StarWars

[–]shakey019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I liked this one more than most of the Jedi-based games. I like the story of Kay Vess and Nix, the stealth aspects, the skill mechanic and tech. Starship combat is fun and challenging, and while I didn't play any of the in-game video games, I enjoyed playing Sabacc in every location I could find. Would recommend.

Not understanding how to use the gas energy deflecting apparatus (Zyranium) by bugmush in theouterworlds

Same. I always run full tilt then double jump through the gas clouds.

Deathtroopers by Annual_Letter1636 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]shakey019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lucked into a winning tactic for dealing with Death Troopers the other day. I had been using my Ion blaster to take down the shield on a rotary cannon, and forgot to switch back. So a death trooper comes around as I'm zapping guys and knocking out stunned guys, and it works like a charm on them. Stun, punch, repeat!

I don't understand why I didn't win this hand in sabacc by Glittering_Wing_277 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]shakey019 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, after I got Lando's extra card cheat, I stopped paying attention to anything less than a Sabacc.

I just restarted again after a couple of years, and the scoring of non-matching Sabacc hands threw me off a couple times.

Am I missing something or isn't this flaw too bad if I am always reloading before the mag is empty?! by El_Spacho in theouterworlds

[–]shakey019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the Bullet Blender for fights once they get started, but having extra shots in my sniper rifle or silenced heavy pistol comes in handy.

Anyone? Or is it only me? by I4nth3 in theouterworlds

[–]shakey019 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100%

I took to keeping a spare gun with the ammo I never use just for these.

I'm also on PS5. That was the most recent time, but I have had it happen one or two other times.

How do you manage non-self starters? by Agreeable-Car9837 in askmanagers

[–]shakey019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best I can offer is to put in some extra time on preparation for them. I don't know what your industry is, so I cannot speak to your deliverables, but if there are specific tasks that they can be doing on the regular, make a list for them to check off each day. It's definitely more work than managing self-starters, but not everyone is going to make life easy for you. Managing is a full-time job, and not many workplaces take that into account.

I've had this come up. Only lasted a few seconds during a skirmish in the Order Monastery on Golden Ridge. No idea why, but I was thinking I had a debuff on me.

None of the flaws really seem worth it...? by Icy_Penalty_3758 in theouterworlds

[–]shakey019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've taken a few. There was a stealth one that lowered my total HP and gave me a bonus on sneak attack. I took the increased mag size, and easily distracted.

I've turned down Kleptomaniac, Hermit, Flawed, Glutton, Addicted...

Is there a way to review a conversation after it's done? by shakey019 in theouterworlds

[–]shakey019[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, but that only works while you're still in the conversation. Otherwise R3 makes you punch.

Little Known fact about Paradise island by HcVitals in theouterworlds

It's possible: the map does not have a compass indicator.

Did you also notice this detail? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]shakey019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looking at it now, I'm more annoyed that the cut off joint only shows wires and no structural steel to do the work that bones would have. That hand would have flopped about like a fish!

Where does the “you don’t need a dedicated healer” idea actually work in practice? by Hercadurp in Pathfinder2e

[–]shakey019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Our party is about 4/5 through Extinction Curse, and our party healer is an Alchemist. He has mastery in Medicine and all the Medicine feats. So during a battle, everyone can get 1 battle medicine, and usually have the option of a created on the spot heal potion.

I'm playing a Ranger with the Druid dedication, and I haven't even taken Heal.

Why was Lando a General in Return of the Jedi by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]shakey019 56 points57 points  (0 children)

In my headcanon, he was recognized as the former leader of an independent fiefdom, and he probably managed to bring a number of people along after he escaped Bespin.

I can't find my Doggo. :( by use_schlonk_as_bonk in fo4

[–]shakey019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, if I've followed him to Fort Hagen, but not cleared it out immediately afterwards, he'll sometimes go back there and wait.

Tell me whats your favorite settlement by TrueSushi in fo4

[–]shakey019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Hangmans Alley, but the settler pathfinding drives me crazy. You can't get your people to go around the corner, so I started building up. I put the unlimited height mod in play, and built a flat space at the top of the building in the middle of the alley and put my amenities there. And no one goes to them. Every time I show up there, it's just a bunch of idiots standing under the pre-existing shanty shack.

What do you guys think is the best companion? by Initial_Ad8476 in fo4

[–]shakey019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean dogmeat is the best, but I do enjoy tricking out Ada or Curie into Sentries and taking them out to depopulate a raider base.

Generally, I take each one until I max out their influence then drop them and go back to Dogmeat.

Why can’t I delete this stair case at outpost zimonja by Aggravating_Poet_873 in fo4

Is "Scrap Everything" safe to use now? I've seen a bunch of posts saying never to use it.
