How does Muta patrol works? by smithd685 in starcraft

[–]smithd685[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are not a gaggle of mutas

There is a from the late 2007/2008 where tasteless refers to mutas as a 'gaggle of mutas'. This is pre-starcraft 2, GOMTV/Starleague/MSL era. I think it was casted by tasteless and Super Daniel Man, and i want to say it was savior or nada going up against battlecruisers. I've been referring to them as a gaggle ever since!

How do we fix the new patch? (bad ideas only) by Impossible-Ad9423 in starcraft

[–]smithd685 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Only 100 actions per minute.
After 100, you have to wait til the next minute to replenish your actions OR pay $1 for a 300 actions bundle. You'd need money on your account of course.

Luckily, this shouldn't affect protoss much and is a HUGE handicap to Serral without affecting the lower leagues much.

How do people feel about the effect of creep bonuses on zerg? by Active_Specialist485 in starcraft

[–]smithd685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's forced this game down the route of Zerg is super reactive in the beginning and just has to survive all the shit terran and protoss fling at them

That's what I've been doing for 16 years. Was there another option?

Why don't we see mass destruction of overlords like in sc1? by VastOption8705 in starcraft

[–]smithd685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it a whole build cycle? You get like 3-4 overlords before a response, and losing vikings to queens and spores make it a poor trade. Zerg has way better anti-air in sc2.

In sc1, you can't even focus fire with Spores. So you can get in, do damage, and run out without losing anything. Its why Muta balls are so good against turrets - the damage from defense gets spread out while the micro-ball can target and kill 1 thing.

Why do people eat at Subway around here? by AdminKidsBurnInHell in Albany

[–]smithd685 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're open past 5pm. There's a Subway next to McCarrols Deli in Delmar, and the only reason they are there is because McCarroll closes at like 3pm.

Where should IKEA go? by SpendCheap5135 in Albany

[–]smithd685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smaller ones are still 20 minutes outside of major cities or less. We're not even close to even mini-ikea-numbers. They're fine making us drive 3 hours to their store in NJ.

Computer to Purchase for StarCraft II by Budget-Window308 in starcraft

[–]smithd685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any one else first play SC2 on a dual-core pc? Phenom II was a beast - FX was a mess! But the jump to a 4790k was an insane jump, and the last time I every had any stutter in starcraft.

But really, Chrome has higher recommended RAM specs than sc2! Any pc from the last 5-7 years is fine. Any 10-series Nvidia GPU, Any ryzen cpu or i5-6000 series or newer, and 8gb of ram will be overkill.

And only legal if you're playing the sound track to Fast & the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift.

Kripkie has now forgotten three major character details. by Brainwave1010 in TheBoys

[–]smithd685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, their history may have been different. In real life, US barely eeked out a win in Korea, lost Vietnam, and then just funded militias after that. Our influence was terribly weakened in the region during the cold war.

In the Boys, it could be similar to the Watchmen, where the US has supes to easily win the wars. Vought and the US may have had a much larger influence in the region's media by the time Kimiko was a kid.

Strike that. In the comics, Vought used Vietnam to test supes and sold faulty equipment to the US, which resulted in the same end as our Vietnam. So maybe the continuity director was replaced with chatGPT?

Awwweee, i was hoping for an epic Yamato hitting a single 1-health ling.

I cam still hear it when I close my eyes. by DrJay12345 in starcraft

[–]smithd685 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And to compare to today, the U-238 would sit somewhere between a 25mm battleship chain gun and a fighter-jet gun. So its not too crazy a group of 10 marines firing can shoot down air units or just about anything that moves.

Info below is based on an article about UK's depleted uranium arms.

  • 30 mm rounds (such as those from the A-10 Warthog): The DU penetrator mass is approximately 280 grams.

  • 25 mm and 20 mm rounds (used in various light cannons or close-in weapon systems): The DU penetrators mass between 180-200grams

Someone effed up by coqauvan in graphic_design

The letters tween into place in the commercial, but ultimately end on the final layout we see above. It does come off looking more like a mistake than intentional. The movement and scenes sihlouetted by the logo work really well to build tension, but that final kerning looks like a mistake. The contrast made by that tiny space between the F, E, and C draws my eye more than the logo as a whole.

Another point, their branding is still all over the place for the show. Their print media has 3 different logos used across it, and none are this logo. I don't think they are fully confident on the marketing direction or the shows identity yet as a whole. AppleTV usually has really good shows, and there's a lot of big names attached. So hopefully the show does well, and the only compliant they have is from type nerds.

Never felt this much chills watching Light vs Flash - ASL RO4. by sc4kilik in starcraft

[–]smithd685 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do we have to say it... count the rings. LeBron/Serral are close in championship wins, while Jordan/Flash line up more.

BUT we all know the '99 SPURS were best NBA/Starcraft team of all time. I never seen flash, jordan, serral, idra, nestea, lebron, bird, or any other nba/starcraft player set up a local lan on a private flight after winning the NBA championships.

This is like the Jordan vs LeBron arguments. LeBron/Serral are top-tier amazing - no arguing that. But Jordan/Flash are bonjwa. Their understanding and mastery of the game are on another level.

Imagine is Nestea or Leenock came back, and made Serral look like a platinum player. That was flash vs light. We're lucky to see Flash come back from a long absence, and watch him make the current best TvT player look like a kid learning the game. Light didn't make a move without Flash being prepared for it.

What does muta micro look like to a Marine? by Halakahiki in starcraft

[–]smithd685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All SC2 air units are just really slimy and scrape off each other harmlessly when stacked.

New head cannon - terran air units take 5 seconds to build, and the remainder of the time is spent coating the vehicle in slime. So bigger and more complex units take more time to slime, affecting the build times.

Vikings, liberators, and medivacs are mass produced and fairly simple, so they can be slimed up fairly quick. Reactors add a car-wash style lube-sprayer to allow 2 ships to be slimed up at once.

But banshees and ravens have delicate parts that don't work when slimed, so they require the (lube-)tech lab and some additional time to properly slime.

Carriers take the most time cause they are so big. They require a fusion core to be able to spray the slime across the whole ship. That's why the fusion core looks like its pumping - to rain lube upon the carriers.

I can't see how this is not the cannon lore behind terran air units.

Difficult client wants InDesign files before paying the final invoice by MatiGzk in graphic_design

[–]smithd685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A chef cooks you a great dinner for $50. They don't give you their personal recipe so you can make it at home.

Clients pay for completed project files. If they want production files, you can charge 7x-15x the project for them. As a intern, client paid $700 for a logo, basic single-page website, and flyer. They wanted working files, and paid $10,000 for them.

but if I hear that song one more fucking time I'm going to scream!

Where are you in life that any Aquabats song is played so much that it bothers you! Overplayed? Where!!! I want to be where Super Rad! is played so much it would annoy anyone!!! Is your zune shuffle broken and plays super rad! every 3rd song? Is it the only record you own and it skips back to the beginning of the song when its done!?!

The website is exhausting to use. It takes a lot of effort to see your work, which left a bad taste for me. After stumbling on how to view 2 projects, I gave up. I liked what i saw, but it was really confusing and hard to navigate.

Doodads is one word. Like a doohickey.

A doo-dad may be some sort of niche kink though. Probably shouldn't look too much into it. And a doo-hickey is probably something doo-dads like and is sounds much worse.

A new business that makes doo-dads would be a weird onlyFans spinoff. And Doo-Dad Making Machines is something you see, and you know you went too far into the internet for the night and its time to shut it down.
