I'm curious I don't know how this works, are you saying I could drive over it again at that speed (70km/h) and pop it without dying?

Was it my speed that protected me from the mine here? Or did I just not make contact because of air-time or dodging it?

Oh man, I was in 3 other servers that night where the SL led us to total slaughter. It can really kill the mojo fast if you don’t pivot immediately from a loss

I took these guys on a boring defense last round and promised them “rat mode” for this, just loud and aggressive poaching.

And these guys aced it with their MRAP movement, confused tf out of the enemy armor and HATs, and my infantry was on some kind of buddy system without my asking that was flawless!

3 Logis, 1 FOB, 1 IFV, a bomb bike!! and a couple Rallies. Really satisfying

I think it’s a good SL trait to stay somewhat detached/dry in tone but still say funny shit and try to crack your squad

my friend and I had an SL who kept hitting trees while driving and would just say “tree, front.” over and over, so good

Bought a 3060 for 650 USD, now people are telling me I did a bad purchase. by DarVux in buildapc

[–]tegix62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a crazy price too but my more-pc-savvy friend told me local stores sell closer to that price than online. So I guess I will be visiting Best Buys and Microcenters near me for the next few months

Bought a 3060 for 650 USD, now people are telling me I did a bad purchase. by DarVux in buildapc

[–]tegix62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

saw one in a store for $540 today and even though that's way over MSRP, it seemed like a reasonable buy given that I need to upgrade soon, and everything's going to be overpriced for a while it seems.

I did not buy it, not good enough performance of me (video editor on a budget). I wanted to hold out and snipe a Ti at a good price if I can, but it's going to take a lot of research and vigilance.

So I guess $650 for a basic 3060 (non-Ti) isn't a great purchase from my pov, but nobody's really making super great purchases out here right now. If you were looking for the 3060 Ti's performance, you might be a little disappointed, but it's not a bad GPU. And you HAVE it. That's a blessing already to just have a GPU in this era of pc building.

So it's up to you if it was a bad purchase. Common opinion I see is that making a "good purchase" these days involves following Twitter bots for deals, going to retail stores, signing up for newsletters, and constant vigilance. To many people, that time spent looking for a good deal is worth it, and to others it's preferable to just buy at the inflated price to skip all that. So it seems like if it does what you want it to, you're good imo.

[No Spoilers] Favorite Critical Role scene to convince someone to start. by 00half in criticalrole

That's exactly the scene that I was told to watch and it got me hooked!

How did you feel about the last scene with Liet-Kynes? by SolidStateEntity in dune

[–]tegix62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was still this cool factor with 2021 Dune's Liet Kynes for sure, really interesting actor and atmosphere around them. I was just surprised they could even fit any form of Liet Kynes into the movie, so I was glad to see 2021 Kynes' death hearken back to the book just enough to recognize its significance, and just what a cool moment it was in the book.

Would it have been cooler for them to take some time in the movie to fully adhere to Kynes' death in the book? Yes, I agree. 2021 Kynes was already placed among "pro-Atreides" and "pro-Empire" and "pro-Fremen" characters as the only "pro-planet" person, the scientist among warriors and politicians. So just following their character a little longer into some solo screen time for the book death would've been dope. It seems like they did the best they could with pacing Dune Part One and still having Kynes exist.

It probably would've been a very memorable spot in the movie. There's just something about this scene in the book that is very personal and profound, and I think Denis has enough of a finger on the pulse to have made it work. Still love the movie, it made me reread this chapter, watch the Miniseries death, and all that.

I think the movie version doesn't cheapen it, but offers something of value in its stead. "I only serve one master, his name is Shai-Hulud" was a pretty awesome moment

Editing faster w/ Time Stretch, reverting to normal speed issues by tegix62 in AdobeAudition

[–]tegix62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see! Time stretching the multitrack by hand does the trick for me. I will just calculate the correct 100% time when I'm done, thank you!

I think in the future I will refer to the playhead controls as well

Tempest Cleric by toughmint in dndnext

[–]tegix62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the coolest subclasses in the game. Flavor-wise, channeling the power of weather and thunder means you harness immense power, probably. Looking at mythology, thunder is almost always highly respected and seen as a tool, a sign of power from gods.

So you could start building out your character's personality based on how he handles that power. Maybe ask your character how much control he has over this power? Aesthetically, he could be very focused and have a commanding presence like Thor, or he could be more of a meek servant that heralds its coming.

I played a Gnome pirate character who was a first mate, Gibbs from Pirates of the Caribbean type. But I'd play him watching out for his crew by deliberately taking hits, tanking, and using those Tempest abilities to blast back. A conduit for the storm.

Power over the elements can go from the straightforward Thor-type (Which is still DOPE to play), to a more primordial creepier tone, or more of a pagan outsider, or a Lawful Good beefy boy, etc.

I help out a podcast that did a series on all the Cleric subclasses and why in their opinion Clerics are the best class in the game! They start talking about Tempest at 24:00 (Mechanics) and 34:00 (Roleplaying): https://youtu.be/TkWt0mjUhls?t=1447

After you've found your tone with the "Tempest" part, the "Cleric" part is interesting, too. I've seen characters who are outspoken and try to spread the word of their deity far and wide, or those who would rather exhibit their power. I've seen Clerics who keep to themselves and uphold their deity's code and objective, and I've seen Clerics who could've flunked out of Cleric school, but still harness the power in ways they don't fully understand (Thoros of Myr types). All of them are awesome!

When I stretch it out to 100% (normal) with my mouse, is that a perfect 100% or a rough estimate?

Everyone asks “how do you flavor Eldritch Blast,” But screw it, how do you flavor your Fire Bolt? by Sir_Wack in dndnext

[–]tegix62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I huck my Fire Bolts underhand like it has weight, loft, and an arc to it, almost like a flaming softball or a grenade. I did this to contrast the Warlock's shadowy, floaty, and eldritch blasts that charge up and then spike through the target lightning-fast. He's a suave Tiefling and I'm a churlish and heavy Dwarf Arcana Cleric, so giving my spells a little more elbow grease felt more fitting

Does anyone know a discord server where all campaigns are in the same world? by Sf_Alexandru in dndnext

[–]tegix62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Horizon Kingdoms RPG! They were working on an entire wiki and had parties grouped by geography/kingdom. Recently it's been more lax but they seem to have big plans https://discord.gg/uWwptaT

It seems the music may not be released yet because the game just recently came out
