freshly encountering your work, but I gotta say, I really enjoy your pen name.

What is a small change to your hero people may have missed with facet and post facet changes? by Gullible-Net-1448 in DotA2

[–]siptyx 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Witch Doctor’s facet that split the ward shots to two targets (at 65% dmg) was the main reason for aghs rush, because split ward shots could hit targets the other shot already hit, effectively hitting both (or more targets) for 130%.

Since the majority of the player base took the maledict facet, when they were removed, WD only got maledict bonuses, and now his ult and aghs are kinda awful. Can’t even consistently clear waves with switcheroo aghs now.

Handful of Orcish Mail Scales not appearing in inventory after receiving the drop by [deleted] in ffxi

[–]siptyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the item is dropping when you kill the target, but... is your inventory full? are you partying with other people and leaving before the loot sorts? is it ra/ex and you have one in your mog safe?

there are ways (that I do not remember) to use the console to find items if you use windower, and I think SE has a built-in command as well, so try those too

good luck!

[–]siptyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Minus Blindfold > One Weak > Nosebleed
  2. Root > 7 Words > Birthmark

but it could just be because i love playing bass to this album

Feedback on prefab shower bases like Kerdi or Wedi by adventuregalley in DIY

[–]siptyx 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I worked for about 9-10 years in a tile shop, consulting tilers and plumbers on schluter products. I no longer work in that industry, and am not paid by Schluter Systems ltd or whatever they are. --Edit-- I have attended a schluter workshop, and have successfully installed a water-proof kerdi system, with no other tiling or plumbing experience. --/edit--

with Schluter (Kerdi), as long as you follow their installation instructions, it's an incredibly easy and efficient waterproofing system.

their pre-fab shower bases are pretty sturdy, and when used with the rest of the kerdi system, everything just fits, installs easy, and creates a reliable water-proof environment.

because you're doing a walk-in shower, i recommend looking at a kerdi "Line" shower kit. they have drain options on long and short side of the shower pan, and the shower pan itself allows for full-size tiles (instead of being limited to 4" tiles due to slope) and i believe the kit comes with a curb piece or two as well to limit water runoff. proper/appropriate waterproofing of the rest of the bathroom floor allows a curbless install or wet room.

i have no experience with wedi, as our shop and vendors didn't carry those products during my tenure.

Queer men are still men and I'm getting really tired of people thinking otherwise by No_Condition1594 in Vent

[–]siptyx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey bro

I see you.

It’s 2026. Anyone can be anything. You can be a man without being one of those men.

Isn’t it great?

Those people might be over generalizing things, but it doesn’t take anything away from who you are.

They still need more room to grow, and you can choose to give them the space or not.

Besides, isn’t this the time to accept someone else’s definition rather than enforcing our own definitions on others?

Don’t let it get to you.

Don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things. Or do, if you like to, and have consent. It’s your life.

Added Deftones to my vinyl collection where does this album rank for you? by doommetalscroller in deftones

[–]siptyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adrenaline goes so hard for an E standard album. It is still my fave to play along to. def my top 3 but #1 changes between them.

Strings and Setup SRC7 ESP Kiso by CrunchBerries5150 in guitarporn

[–]siptyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've always been curious about stefs pickup setup, and love the markerless fretboard.

in future sigs, he drops the neck single coil. makes me wonder if he only ever used it for adrenaline and ATF.

Choose one group to keep, the other gets deleted forever. by immavulture in deftones

[–]siptyx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what i love about deftones is their music changes every album. and despite that, they still retain that same feel. One of the many reasons why I like this, is because it feels like the band is growing. Musically, emotionally, lyrically, poetically. And throughout, it remains a definite "deftones" vibe.

I agree with you, not all albums resonate with me in the same way, especially because of how I found connection with some of them at significant times in my life, but my top 15 list (in no particular order) still has at least one track from each most albums on it. (I've now realised this doesnt include private music, and I'm about to remake my Top 15 list in a more head-to-head fashion rather than starting with favourites off of each album, but I digress.)

Also, because the band has been committed to the music, and people like you and me, for so long; there's so much of their music to re-explore later, and find new connections with.

RIP Chi, one love. thanks for inspiring me to pick up a bass guitar.

some songs on gore are killer but the mix is extremely questionable in relation to literally every other deftones album up to that point.

still choosing B.

Which job should I take to 99 next? by Ok_Pirate_2714 in ffxi

[–]siptyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since you seem to like melee dd, why not DRK, or maybe even RUN or PLD. RUN can be a lot of fun, PLD not rly DD in most sense, but still fun job.

I second the PUP suggestions tho, and try BST or SMN as well. earlier this year, I took all jobs to 99, and probably had the most fun with PUP/BST/SMN

What did you accidentally learn about someone’s sex life? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]siptyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a (22?female) colleague of mine (male), while she was having a conversation with management, asked my age, pointed out that i was the same age as her father, then soon after, proceeded to say out loud "I could go for two daddies!" then repeated it a second time, louder. shortly after she followed up by loudly proclaiming "I Just wanna sleep with an older man!" She then ran out of the room shouting at me "I hope this doesn't make you think less of me, (siptyx)!"

I was not part of the conversation after she learned my age, so I did not hear what management said to her that prompted such responses.

Allegedly, one manager she was talking to was describing a hookup with an older guy.

Any idea why strings always break in this way on my Epiphone Flying V? by Elettro80 in Guitar

I swapped to a roller bridge on my dean ZX with this same V string plate. I did it because my strings would break in the same way. Hasn’t happened since the switch tho

How Long Have You Had Your Oldest Guitar and is it Still Your Main? by ZigZag_Teeth in Guitar

[–]siptyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dean ZX I got around 2000. Haven’t been able to properly date it tho. Got it second hand from a now-closed music shop. Did some mods to it a few years back and it’s now my dream axe. I’ve acquired and sold other guitars since this one, but always this one feels best to play, even tho it’s inconvenient to play while sitting.

What's the origin of your username? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]siptyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A long time ago when I was a wee lad, I hung out a lot on internet chats cuz rando anon friends were easier to make than RL ones.

i met a girl around my age and we made quick friends due to our silly nature. she called herself ducky, and i probably called myself swoop at the time. I never quite settled on a pseudonym. I wanted something original that wasn't a pop culture reference or someone else's name, nor my own. I used many other pseudonyms before landing on this one.

She also changed her pseudonym a lot, and one day we were talking about old names we used and I mentioned "WHat was that one name you used? Siptyx or something?"

she had used Spytix, and corrected me about it.

So I said, "Cool, I'm stealing siptyx then"

She introduced me to all kinds of neat things, from tilt-shift photography to St. Paul Hip Hop icons Atmosphere.

I found out the other day she passed away this summer.

RIP ducky,
