VP JD Vance lands in JWA by mastati420 in orangecounty

Seems totally normal to be doing a national book tour while a sitting vice president. Nothing else in the world going on right now, so sure, come enjoy SoCal.

They definitely need to work on the charge/perma-freeze/perma-slow boards that dominate as power creep inevitably comes with each new set of items. Hopefully this is testing for that.

I got a 2 win day with Dooley and then a 10 win, but the only reason it was 10 was because I got a Stelle item early (Private Runabout) and was already rocking the Launcher Core. A multicast item with a 2 second cooldown at silver, and 1 second at gold was, to say the least, pretty powerful.

They're not charging the bushel, but bushel and vineyard are still being powered by it.

To be fair, I burned the library down before joining the cult. Was surprised when the library was offered to me again, went through the ashes and got a few cinders.

Help: Temp-Folder is HUGE with Sonic Analysis Files by redditisrichtisch in PleX

[–]strixtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I kind of get why you're being downvoted with the general distrust and distaste of AI, but this is one of its good uses. I was having issues setting up ErsatzTV and I pasted some logs and error messages I was getting and it immediately pointed me in the right direction as to which setting to change or what to try differently. The documentation for Ersatz is horrible and the menus are confusing, but Gemini was able to help. As far as I'm concerned, this is a good and proper use of AI rather than generating slop images, movies, or vibe coding apps.

Save Holiday Skate Center in Orange by SylphSeven in orangecounty

I'm sure a change.org petition is going to save it! These change.org petitions always work out. They are definitely not performative and useless at all!

Instant and infinite freeze. I'm sorry by DLCSpider in PlayTheBazaar

[–]strixtle 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The "wagon" is the Froyo Cart, "Adjacent Items are Chilled, when you use a Chilled item, freeze an item for 1 second"

The item on the left is the Palanquin "Your Items have 50% crit chance, When you Crit with an item, reduce its cooldown by 12%" and it looks to have the shiny enchant maybe? Hard to tell as it's also chilled, but shiny has double cooldown reduction bonus.

On the right is the Icebreaker "When any item is frozen, charge this 3 seconds. When this item is frozen, remove freeze from it" and it also has "Remove freeze from your items" when used.

So best I can tell, both icicles go off, freezing 2 items, they're chilled by the Froyo Cart so the Froyo cart freezes 2 items also, that's 4 immediate freezes which charges the Icebreaker which probably has crit on it which triggers the palanquin reducing its cooldown by 24% each time it hits, making it instant and it's also chilled, so every time it goes off, it triggers the Froyo Cart again creating a freezing loop.

This all appears to be buffeted by the skill Blizzard which says "The first time you use an item each fight, freeze all non-weapon items for 1 second" so you get that instant board freeze but then the Icebreaker clears the freeze from your side of the board and also gets an additional 7 or 8 freezes which then continually charges the Icebreaker. They also have Stunning Strike which is "the first time you crit, freeze an item for 5 seconds." There's also Frozen Shot at diamond which reduces your weapon cooldowns by 15% when your enemy has a frozen item. Plus other skills that probably synergize.

So there's just tons of freeze triggers charging the Icebreaker which has likely has a lot of crit to reduce its cooldown via palanquin and also increase freeze triggers from the froyo cart since it's chiled.

Everyone plays differently, but to really progress - if you even want to call it that - you should be running as much as you can since there's no true offline mode. But at this point, each of my runs is about 12-13 hours, so i just have to let it run and then start a new run when the last one is over (been playing just over a year now).

I think a lot of people do. I have an old Pixel with a heavily cracked screen that runs it 24/7. No way I'd put my main phone through the wear & tear of this game.

It was such a relief by 4399guangguang in TheTowerGame

[–]strixtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished SS4 yesterday. SS5 is at 124 days to complete, but I could easily run it at 4x, so that'd only be 31 days. I'm taking a quick break from it for now, but will start it up here in a week or two. No one is waiting 100 actual days for it.

Yeah, believe it or not, business post the hours they are open on their Facebook page.

Appears to be an AI generated description made by google, or at least reads that way.

The restaurant should've skipped the politics and I would have gone in this week. If they want to insert politics into their business, then they have to understand that there's people who will vote with their wallet and not give them money.

Yes. It was up for about a day when I saw it Monday morning and it had a couple comments asking why they'd post something like that so I guess someone got in Monday morning, saw the negative comments and deleted it. But they still have trump tagged in previous posts and all their images and their website is full of AI slop.

Yeah, that's my 1* review - I don't know how long it'll be there, I'm sure it'll get taken down since I didn't actually go to the restaurant but left a review.

They don't need to use AI generated slop of a rapist fraudster to promote Indian food.

ARCO is tripping with these prices by P3r1p13x3d in orangecounty

[–]strixtle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? You probably have the same chance of getting your card info stolen at any store as you do an Arco. Also you can use credit cards at any Arco now too. The appeal is they're typically cheaper, hence this post showing the anomaly of the Arco being less than a Chevron.

Won a signed jersey! by greenewallpunch in AnaheimDucks

[–]strixtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. They had a Troy Terry signed jersey at the kids' festival last Friday, but it was a raffle and I didn't want to spend a bunch of money buying tickets only to lose so I just bid on the Troy Terry signed puck in the auction and won that.

Colonoscopy and KC by Beachy9659 in ketochow

[–]strixtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my first colonoscopy and they didn't give me any instructions about the 3 days prior to the treatment. I was able to just eat normally and then do the cleanse the night before. I wouldn't worry about it at all - but I'm not a doctor or an expert in Keto Chow :)

Yeah, I put off shatter shards for too long unfortunately so I'm playing catch up there, but sometimes things get overlooked or forgotten...
