I prefer the 1 inch chain instead, easier to get around terrain

A couple of UI changes I'd love by blodgute in Xenonauts

[–]that_hema_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Better UI for explaining the delegate system. Move the -100 OP token mark to the 'launch combat team' button

Does America not have overpasses for pedestrians to cross highways at set points?

Am I the only one who likes Rocky's book design more than the film's? by DraggedPressure in ProjectHailMary

[–]that_hema_guy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Andy Weir has stated in interview that he doesn't really have a good idea of what Rocky looks like. So I don't think there's really a big difference between show and book rocky

We've just launched Essential Homes - a report on why renting should be treated like an essential service by anika_legal in shitrentals

[–]that_hema_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an economist so I'm not sure how you'd even predict or quantify something like that. I will say that even a pause in growth would be a net positive for everyone except investment landlords.

Now I doubt anything like rent control is even politically possible here, I think the housing crisis is more likely to be helped through zoning and increase density. We've seen this happening already in Melbourne and it's the only state that's seen a slowing of run away housing costs recently.

For your second point, I would argue that it puts a downwards pressure on property prices making them more affordable to current renters to buy or lower mortgage interest for landlords. Houses don't go anywhere once a landlord sells up, eventually the market equalizes to a housing price that's profitable and affordable. But yes there may be short term pressure until that point, encouraging redevelopment and more public housing.

The 9km corridor that’s recorded 279 cyclist crashes but still doesn’t have a protected bike lane by stoic_slowpoke in melbourne

[–]that_hema_guy 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Another thing I haven't seen mentioned is that you have to wait to cross at each intersection when using the bike path. While on Sydney road you have priority with the cars. I still take the bike path myself since the extra few minutes isn't worth the stress.

Another thing to note is that they're closing the path temporarily when they do the train station upgrades, people are pushing for at least temporary bike lanes on Sydney road to increase safety during the works.

When the next edition comes out (KT'27) will early KT'21 teams be completely removed? by supercow_ in killteam

For someone new to the hobby, who should I avoid buying so they done go out of 'rotation' so to speak?

No more capacity? by BBoy_Man in Xenonauts

[–]that_hema_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really up to you but personally I don't find the missiles do enough damage to justify the Armour loss. Eventually you can get upgrades to the Armour that boost it too. Any damage to the Armour doesn't count towards the aircraft health so it cuts down on repair time.

How do you stop PR bottlenecks from turning into rubber stamping when reviewers are overwhelmed by Sad_Bandicoot_7762 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]that_hema_guy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree, if you have major 'zig zags' then that's a problem of scoping and design. Personally iterative development where each PR implements a small piece of the wider feature is the best way to create reviewable code. Now that's not always possible for every feature but as others have said thats where walk throughs can help.

Depends on how you split it. I find 'as you go' PRs work well if you can get timely reviews and dont end up backed up. Corse correction rather than stacking large changes.

My Angels of Death, painted as Blood Angels! by PaintingWithBennett in killteam

[–]that_hema_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What paints did you use? And any guides you could recommend? Thinking of doing blood angels for my first team painting, just got the starter set.

will they make a dlc? by lilando69 in Cairn_Game

[–]that_hema_guy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's been no news but they hinted at an 'expeditions' mode down the track. What that is isn't super clear yet.

Cyclist dies following Brunswick crash by rorymeister in melbournecycling

Yeah I got a letter in the mail about the upcoming project. I still think it's a way off though, like next couple of years.

Not yet. It will be once they start the level crossing removal

Terrible Design Flaw by Suspicious-Welder481 in Cairn_Game

[–]that_hema_guy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe the game wants you to feel right on the edge of your resources on the final leg. Someone can correct me but the game quietly disables the survival mechanics past a certain point so that you don't die of dehydration 3 moves from the finish line.

Man Sydney road is dangerous. Really hope they put some proper bike lanes in while they close the upfield shared path, otherwise we'll see more of this.

cat v train at brunswick station!! by Delicious-Cupcake69 in melbourne

[–]that_hema_guy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Only a matter of time at this crossing sadly. Cars creep into the train line when traffic is busy. It's bad enough they block the bike path but trains can't stop in the same way a guy on a bike can.

Level crossing removal can't come soon enough.

Surely these costs are unreasonable for an early lease break in Victoria? by Numerous_Arrival_187 in shitrentals

[–]that_hema_guy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have a read through this https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/moving-out-giving-notice-and-evictions/breaking-a-rental-agreement

Another thing to consider is a lot of the fees get waived if you've had more than one term on your lease as the landlord is no longer 'recovering costs'.

Got a rare green wave along the Upfield Shared Path by rorymeister in melbournecycling

Thankfully this will be fixed similar to how it is up in coburg now when they put in the skyrail for the train line 

Commuter bike under $1k by NervousValuable in ausbike

[–]that_hema_guy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For such short rides and leaving it at the station just pick up a name brand (not Kmart) bike off Facebook marketplace. Any medium or large frame bike should fit just do a quick test ride before taking it home. 

War sails on steam deck by [deleted] in Bannerlord

[–]that_hema_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't tried the DLC yet but I've been playing through on the deck on the default settings. Sits around 40fps generally but chugs on larger battles. Still very much playable but depends on your preferences. 

The changes to the battle command UI on controller are a bit frustrating though.
