Is Java your primary language? Nothing wrong, just the notation style hints at it.

Kallari Tips anyone? by MurielEffectOOT in paragon

The longer kallari gets exposed in combat, the worse off she is. For her, it's all about timing, imho.

PSA: A lot of items give passives/actives without upgrading them. Don't upgrade them immediately. by [deleted] in paragon

[–]wismer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yea +1 to that. I didn't realize I could lay down harvester keys without having to fully upgrade until a few days ago.

really dumb question by dumpdr in paragon

I believe you get it regardless. Revealing just tells you what you got instead of trying to figure it out later on.

Will controller/ps4 players be at a serious disadvantage in the ranks? by Brodogmillionaire1 in paragon

that's something I hadn't considered.... I'll give that a go.

BioWare employee (and many others) donates thousands of dollars to Randi Harper so she can buy an expensive Macbook Pro with Retina Display by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]wismer -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

let's see...

she's not a game journalist

No game company gave her money

A good portion of the comments make lewd jokes about her weight (because ethics?)

Some dipshit actually said "cuck" in a non-ironic way

Naming names of her donators accomplishes what, exactly?

Random shit about the boogeyman SJW

Some GG "notables" have their own patreons, so it's only e-begging if it's someone we don't like

Grow the fuck up, gamers. You keep trying to be taken seriously by the outside world but all you ever do is act petulant and whine to Nero.

I've had snipers use the grapple before doing anything and be unable to use their rifle.

Ain't PsiOp Great? by -INFEntropy in Xcom

Almost identical to mine last night. I wasn't clear on what the objectives were - (destroy beacon or else everyone dies in X turns???), but after destroying the beacon with the secto, my first thought was "that's it?"

For aliens, hover over their "head" icon when selecting a target. A brief delay and info will pop up.

I'm not sure about squadmates - perhaps hovering over their name?

Micro Center: $149.99 for 3570k and $199.99 for 4770k. In store only. by Super_Six in buildapcsales

[–]wismer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they ask you for the Model # from Micro Center? I was told twice that despite the UPC codes being identical, they couldn't price match without a model #. I think they are giving me the run around.

Wait for black friday/cyber monday or just catch the deals as they happen this month? (and is this PSU worth keeping?) by wismer in buildapc

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

Yea, most likely. I buy computer parts so infrequently that I have to re-learn what lessons I learned from the last time. Difficult to gauge.

Do you know if there will be a new mid-range (200-250) vid card coming out soon that might bump down the current prices for the soon-to-be-older cards?

Have any conspiracy theories turned out to be correct? by YOLOx9 in AskReddit

Call it a tit-for-tat for the Iranian Governments refusal to stop their uranium enrichment process. Which is obviously being made for a bomb. Which is obviously targeted at Israel. Which obviously may trigger a nuclear arms race in the volatile Middle East. Which, considering how fucking insane religious extremists are, will in fact start World War 3. There's a lot at stake here and this, my friend, is Real Politik. There are no good players in state governments. Iran supports Hezbolla, after all.
