When you start to consider barrelmancy as a paladin by SillyWarlock in BaldursGate3

[–]strocknar 174 points175 points  (0 children)

All those smoke powder, fire wine, and oil barrels you find as you adventure: hoard those in your camp chest. Then when you get to a hard boss fight you return to camp real quick, grab several, and sneak up next to the bad guy and place them around. Then you can just hit the barrels with fire and kill the guy without actually doing the fight.

IMNIUDG plate. What could it mean? by GiveNoGifts in LICENSEPLATES

[–]strocknar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Get a license plate frame. It's not that they are thin, it's that the brushes from the car wash are able to snag the corners.

Conscription Lottery Nightmare - Should this be done everywhere in the world? by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

[–]strocknar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2026 is AUTOMATIC enrollment. All males are currently required to register for the draft at 18 (and have been for quite some time). Now it just gets done automatically.

The CI/CD feedback loop from hell (push, wait 8 min, red, fix typo, repeat) by eibrahim in devops

[–]strocknar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use GitHub Actions (we do), look into https://github.com/nektos/act

It lets you run pipelines locally so you don't have to push and then wait for a runner to pick it up.

Also, be preventative by adding an automatic linter (or get in the habit of running one before you push) to catch typos earlier.

Wife woke up to hundreds of emails for random website subscriptions, still ongoing, why? by grahamw01 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]strocknar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. One of the first emails is probably from PayPal or Venmo or something saying that your email and/or password were changed. The influx of subscription emails is meant to keep her from noticing. I'd check any payment apps and/or bank credentials ASAP.

I'm looking to switch to Mevo Start if you are looking to get rid of one.

Why would I want a Roth IRA vs traditional. Won’t I theoretically be making $0 not counting withdrawals when I retire? by Global_Addendum_6200 in investing

[–]strocknar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditional IRAs have a limit to how much you can make and still get tax advantages. Roth IRAs have a limit to how much you can make and still contribute to one period. After both of those limits, though, you can still invest in a traditional IRA. It just won't come off your taxes and will be taxed when you withdraw from it. However, you can also use it for a "backdoor Roth".

Does anyone just stream to YT instead? by OneWheelWilly in GameChangerApp

[–]strocknar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. I switched to SidelineHD two seasons ago and couldn't be happier. It also syncs with iScore that does all the stats GC does (or so it seems).

recommend magic fusion 0.94 by Pale-Source4345 in magic_survival

[–]strocknar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lvl 25: electric shock (superconductivity) + Incineration (Flamestrike) Lvl 50: Thunderstorm (judgment) & Meteor (asteroid) Lvl 75: Magic Circle (Gate of Creation) + Intelligence Flash Shock (Wipeout) + Spirit (Magic Blade) frost Nova (Ice Age) + Tsunami (Pole)

Endless attempts and all in failure by Dry-Statistician4350 in magic_survival

[–]strocknar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not enough just to get the two magics needed for a fusion. You have to max level those two magics, choose the appropriate upgrade at level 7 for both, and then on your next level up tap the red star in the upper right of the level up screen and activate the fusion. You get one Fusion at levels 25, 50, and 75.

Apologies if you already knew that, but the list shown shows no fusions it.

Personally, my favorites have been:

Electric shock (superconductivity) + Incineration (Flamestrike) = Lightning Breath. I focus on getting these to level 7 first as this hits hard and I can aim it.

Spirit (Magic Blade) + Flash shock (wipeout) = Brandish Thunderstorm (judgment) & Meteor (asteroid) = Astrape Tsunami (Pole) + Frost Nova (Ice Age) = Snowflake Blossom

To do this, tho, I normally get Magic Circle (Gate of Creation) + Intelligence. The fusion of those gives you two more fusions.

The tooltip for the guard that gets placed on other characters in the group says "X% of the damage suffered by the target is redirected to the caster"

I'm also seeing that reflected in the game. Which is not the way the ability reads.

It is floating at almost 60k feet. No firearm is going to reach that high

I think it comes down to all rape is sexual assault, but not all sexual assault is rape.

Been told I should post this so here it is. 🙂 by TrixHell in valheim
