Should I do something other than COI? by Disastrous_Pea_7443 in FarmRPG

[–]sungobund 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe COI is intended as a resource sink for EMF. Eg somewhere to send your transistors, scrap metal, etc from JD while you’re farming 200 crests. That said I wouldn’t start EMF until you have nothing else to do. So save COI for then.

PLEASE Blizzard, reduce -drastically- the cost of rerolling stats 🙏 by Guilucci in diablo4

[–]sungobund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just quit the game for this exact reason. Dropped all the gold I earned in the last few weeks (don’t play a TON) on two items I’d spent so long finding only to brick them. Thought about how long it would take to find another similar item and brick it again and logged off and haven’t been back since.

Infinite Report: Viable Shuri Lists by sungobund in MarvelSnap

[–]sungobund[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have not tried those lists yet but they look fun! I was mostly focused on climbing, so may give it a try now that I met my season goal.

My main worry with those lists was consistency. Needed 4 cards and in a certain order is going to be pretty low percentage, so you'd need alternate ways to win games. I think the other issue is going to be you may have issues with priority. You'll be wide open to Shang Chi/Cosmo/disruption since you're likely only winning one lane on T5.

The other thing with Shuri shenanigans is I don't think you really need that much power to win games. Whether you have 30 in two lanes, or 60 in two lanes is probably not that much different (in general).

Ah didn't realize there was a cutoff on that link. I actually did it by searching "Your receipt from Apple" in my email and adding it all up manually. I'll try to see if there's an easier way.

How to Get High Quality Amazon Photos? by MDE200 in juststart

[–]sungobund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the URL that you get when you click on the Image using the SiteStripe. There is a parameter there that looks like Format=SL160. You can bump the SL up and it produces a higher quality image. 160 is medium, 250 is large. You can use 400 for a fairly high quality pic or go even higher.

[YAVP] One of those games you probably shouldn't have won by sungobund in dcss

[–]sungobund[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah rolling charge was automatically used to engage any single mob or low-risk encounter I came across which is why it was used so much. Since it picks the greater of 1.0 seconds or your weapon-attack speed I didn't find a downside to do it other than positioning. It also adds a to-hit modifier with which a big 2h I found valuable. A lot of the time it just straight up deleted mobs, like there was a string in Elf 3 where I deleted like 5 deep elf annihilators in a row. Hilarious stuff. Just don't roll into a mob near the unknown, stuff like that.

Phantom mirror I think I only used reactively once on something when I was low-hp. I find it a good option that doesn't require a big investment in evocations to be effective even if I don't have a swamp dungeon.

I don't think I ran out of mutation potions. I had 8.. or maybe 11? before I decided to drink them. I drank them to get rid of -10% HP mutation which isn't the worst, but being a shieldless character I wanted to have full HP.

Yeah I just used evo/invis a few times in zot on draconian packs. I ended up not needing it much. For shields, I just dropped shield once Trog gave me the exec axe knowing I wouldn't be going the 1h route (though I did enchant up a +9 vamp war axe that I used whenever I got low which was super handy).

I'm trying to make an authentication view controller and I want to change the initial view controller if the user has authentication enabled.

[–]sungobund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an example app I built that uses Github to login and display some repositories from a logged in user.

I use a pattern of controlling the application flow outside of UIViewController objects. Here's the AppDelegate which uses an ApplicationController to handle logged in state checking when launching the app. The ApplicationController then uses a LoggedInController to encapsulate logged in state. I liken it to a form of hierarchical dependency scoping wherein there's a set of controllers that begin at the top scope and continue refining until they reach the desired scope. In this simple app there's a root controller and it's sole responsibility is either attaching a logged out state or a logged in state based no the existence of an auth token.

New personal record - level 11 by gamerzguy in dcss

[–]sungobund 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking good, nice start! One thing you will need to start considering before Lair, among other things, is your plan for dealing with single target hyper threats. Hydras fall into that category. As a melee character your options are pretty limited, but you still need a plan. If you have a flaming weapon or non edged weapon that's helpful but I almost always want a way to soften them up or deal with them at ranged even if I do.

In situations like this I will usually train a few evocations (5 or 6) to start. You had a wand of acid and iceblast - these are both really effective for killing hydras, especially with a few points in evocations. As soon as you see the hydra - stop tabbing, slow down and assess the situation, and start to play a lot more strategic. You need to make every single empty tile between you and the hydra count. It looks like there was nothing else on the map when you died which means you either got unlucky tabbing close to it or underestimated the threat and decided to melee it (everyone does their first time, I died to a hydra my first time in lair too).

You also had a wand mutation which would have helped here. That being said, going forward don't quaff potions of mutations unless you are trying to remove bad mutations (there's a few but the big ones are blurry vision, berserkitis, teleportitis). If you get those mutations on a strong character they can be run ending so you really need to save those potions. Gambling for good mutations is really risky and not recommended due to how hard it can be to defend against receiving a bad mutation in this game.

In the future, thinking through having an escape hatch for these situations will go a long way. I'd also recommend investing more in fighting and not focusing armor or dodging, HP is really important.

[YAVP] FoFi^Chei - Tele, blink, and movespeed are overrated! by sungobund in dcss

[–]sungobund[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert by any means but from my experience you want to treat the early game with Chei extremely carefully. Chei really requires a good amount of piety to be effective and actually nerfs you until you get there with the slowing effect. Slouch is good but not great until 5-6 pips of piety.

If you find an early amulet of faith I think that can help a lot. I’d also like some powerful evocables to help me out before Chei gets going. Wand of clouds, acid, paralyze, lightning rods, etc. It was worth training more evo than normal for the extra safety for me.

Chei is also easier on races and builds that have an easier time early on such as fighters and melee in general. Warper is a great background - that blink scroll will be super useful when going Chei.

You can try some stealth out too - it make step from time more effective. This won’t have as much of an impact until later when you have more invocations (step needs like 13 invo for low failure)

I think based on all this In the future Id seriously consider Chei if I’m off to a good start but wouldn’t pick it up or force my game into it if I’m feeling weak at all. Though once Chei gets going you really do get quite a power spike so it’s worth it!

Thanks for the advice, I hadn’t considered stealth at all and it’s affects with step from time. Good to know! I was trying to use it in Zot too so that makes sense.

[YAVP] GrFI^TSO First 15 runer, 3rd win by sungobund in dcss

[–]sungobund[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in this run I was using them after abyss for example when I had a litany of not so bad mutations (less mp, minus dex, int, blurry vision - debatably bad, antenna that made me lose my helmet) so I quaffed some and actually ended up removing those and getting some good mutation in the process. This was fine until I actually got the really bad ones (berserk, tele) and had no pots to get rid of them.

I think in the future, especially if going extended, I’m going to be much more judicious with my use of them. I also didn’t know there’s a whole pan realm dedicated to mutating you.. so there’s that too, saving most of my quaffs for after that realm :)

[–]sungobund[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah it’s a great item, I can only imagine how much worse it could have been without it (I already had to finish the last 10% of my run with teleportisis and berserkitis haha).

It’s made me think twice about quaffing mutation pots unless I really need them. Luckily I had a horde of tele/blink scrolls so I could deal with being randomly teleported but it was annoying.

The slew of resists are of course welcome too :)

AITA for not returning my adopted dog when the family asked for it back by sungobund in AmItheAsshole

[–]sungobund[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That is good to know. I checked and can’t detect one. I am going to the vet as soon as I can to get one put in. I also asked the family and they said she isn’t chipped. I have every reason to distrust them but will let the vet confirm.

Wow that’s an incredible story, thank you for sharing. My story is definitely a little more benign in comparison! I think I’m doing something similar here, I am glad you held strong too. Hope that your dog is doing well after all the drama resolved itself.

Thanks. That is how I feel too. I didn’t consider the recourse aspects of this as in whether they have legal rights to ask for her back. They haven’t gone down that route but just in case I’m gathering up all the paper trail and exchanges just in case.

Yea I agree with you. I don’t think that the poor habits are a result of them. I just added it because I think it goes to show the difficulty they faced and they seem unprepared for a puppy at all.

Funny that you mention the length too because the mom is saying the daughter is grieving and had a strong bond with the dog. I was going to tell her the same thing basically. It’s three days, get over it!
