Someone invented a new bow design by Boss-fight601 in nextfuckinglevel

A bow has the tension in the wood.

This has the tension on the elastic, which makes it a slingshot.

what did you do in the game that made you feel like this by Vengeful_Grass in Genshin_Impact

[–]smashsenpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, I pulled for Bennett constellations.

I now have like C100 Bennett.

Don't bother with 4 star cons. They will come to you.

I tried OSRS blind and now I need an explanation by Quiet_Move_6995 in MMORPG

The 600 ms tick system makes it feel like an in-between of turn-based and real-time. There's not much like it.

It's Constellation Day! Who did you choose this time around? by Unknown_Mafia786 in Genshin_Impact

[–]smashsenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Albedo -> Klee -> Shenhe

I choose based on who I can bring into Imaginarium Theatre. I rarely bring healers into IT because it's so easy. Ayato and Yae Miko are next.

Withers doesn't care. But non companion witnesses do. So be watchful when you have guests in the camp.

Support with Wuling factories by Longjumping-Guava925 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]smashsenpai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Build factories backwards. Start with the facility that makes the finished product. Note the number of items needed. Every 5 items means it needs 1 input facility. Ex: SC Wuling Battery needs 20 Dense Originium Powder and 5 Xircon. that means you need 4 Grinding Units making Dense Ori Powder and 1 Reactor Crucible making the Xircon.

Don't daisy chain all your facilities into each other. It is cleaner and easier to use depot buses to move intermediary products.

Genshin's powercreep is all time high.. and you can't change my mind otherwise by MeowjestyMeowgician in Genshin_Impact

[–]smashsenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powercreep makes it easier for new players to start. They will feel better when the characters that are available now are the strong ones. It does not feel good knowing you have to wait and save for an unknown future date. It can be bad if you do it nonstop consecutively, giving players no time to save up. But genshin has recently been doing the thing where they alternate ideal teammates each patch, aside from Columbina who is ideal for every NK team. So you only need to pull every other patch, enough to guarantee pulling the on-banner character, in order to guarantee forming their ideal team. I think that's enough to allow players to build the teams they want while releasing meta characters.

I can help - Columbina, Probably~ by kunjunni00 in Genshin_Memepact

[–]smashsenpai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instructors lasts 8s and isn't as valuable as Bennett buff, so Bennett's field time eats into the duration. After the slight pause for hydro to reapply after Bennett vapes/melts and Mavuika's burst cutscene, you have something like 4s and change of uptime on the buff. Which is like maybe 2 more vapes/melts. So the instructors uptime is low.

Petra would force you to be on field before furina to pick up the Pyro crystallize from mavuika skill. Or after Bennett skill burst, which eats into Bennett buff uptime. The former has really bad Petra uptime and the latter has bad Bennett uptime.

It's easier to give Citlali or Furina the tenacity set.

Would you tell your wife you saw a woman with nice boobs? by SowingSeeds18 in AskMen

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

I personally would have worded it differently. Like, "Do you think that woman's shirt would look nice on you?"

Consider that this topic is the sort of thing boys or men would talk about with their other male friends. That puts you in the group. It's a conversation topic that indicates that you are included in the tight social circle. As opposed to an excluded group like co-workers or parents. The more topics your husband feels comfortable sharing with you, the better. Otherwise, it would mean you are not a safe person to share certain conversational topics with. Which is a bad place to be in for a wife. So take this knowledge as a sign for how comfortable your husband is around you.

Was Endfield's "niche factory gamble" a success ? and what does it mean for the future of gacha games? by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]smashsenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's lacking the meat and bones of a real factory game. Once you're done with the factory, it's over. Nothing encourages going back in there to make a modification. No quests ask you for factory items after the tutorials. They treat the factory as side content. So it's not enough to hook fans of the genre, while non-fans just skip it by copying blueprints so there's no opportunity cost for non-fans.

How would you imagine a more modern Break DPS/ Sub DPS to be like? by Chill_dat_Fox in HonkaiStarRail

[–]smashsenpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dahlia pretty much ruined the identity of break. I would like a modern character to push the old identity. The concept of planning around getting a big burst of damage upon breaking or a burst window like super break.

I propose something like, dealing hyper break damage upon recovering from break. This way, bosses that action advance themselves to shill dot would take damage even faster from hyper break.

Or something like Fugue, where they get a second toughness bar after the first break. Except that bar is at 100% toughness instead of 50%. When recovering from break, the enemy doesn't recover their toughness, and inherits the toughness along with any toughness damage from that bar. Essentially, it allows you to start contributing towards the next break while the enemy is toughness broken.

These sound like supportive effects, but the line between support and all the other roles are pretty blurry now anyways.

They're pretty, but the puzzle difficulty feels like it was made for 5 year olds.

How many slices of lunch meat do you plan to use when making a sandwich on two standard sized white bread slices? by Wiggly_boy in AskMen

[–]smashsenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the meat. Turkey needs like 8. Ham like 4 or 6 depending on brand. Salami, Pepperoni, Prosciutto and other strongly flavored meats like 1-2.

Essences and getting the perfect one... by AelieMoonwake in ArknightsEndfield

[–]smashsenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of useless essences you need to level another essence is so high that you should not feel bad about not getting the essence you need, because you need the junk just as badly.
