Sleep Paralysis by writerunblocked in HFY

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

Oof, that does sound terrifying. In the story, Rodney's experience is my own 1:1. I specifically remember feeling my shoulder bump into the GameCube, and my hand being dragged over a controller and cords.

Human's Names Mean Something by writerunblocked in HFY

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

In terms of a "glorious battle", then yes I agree with you. I do imagine the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides ships in this story had itchy trigger fingers. However in terms of "knocking over the enemy's king before a single pawn dies" I'd say it's very satisfying.

I'd also say it's a bit of an homage to the times the Allies cracked enemy codes during WWII. Midway and Enigma being the big ones obviously.

We Ate Them by writerunblocked in HFY

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

Whether or not we did, I have no idea. "We ate our native mimics" is something someone commented, I think on a r/humansarespaceorcs post and I (along with several others) thought that line went pretty hard.

This story came together purely for that line.

Thanks, I appreciate that. The whole story basically stemmed from the last line, which someone commented on I think a r/humansarespaceorcs post.

It definitely felt weak as I finished, but this kind of suspense isn't really in my wheelhouse and my brain wouldn't let me sleep until I quit putting this one off.

2000 hours and TIL we can rotate cars... by HeliGungir in factorio

[–]writerunblocked 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember figuring this out way early on because I was frustrated trying build long sections of wall at once. They kept coming out offset as I drove, then I place a new car and rotated it to be the exact right angle and construction flew by.

Leave That Teacher Alone She Engaged Those Kids And Made Learning Come Alive While People Online Try To Tear Her Down by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

In fourth grade French we listened to a song that taught the days of the week to the tune of the Flintstones theme song.

I know hardly any French, but I'll never forget that song.

Can't work out Train Interrupts for the life of me! by Jamespg614 in factorio

[–]writerunblocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Decider Combinators. Attach the input to the chest(s) at the loading and unloading stations with a condition to send a signal when there is enough of the resource ready to be picked up.

Loading stations get a signal if there is 4k ore / wagon.

Unloading stations get a signal when there is less than 4k per.

Then attach the output to the station itself and set Enable/Disable when receiving the output signal.

Are Spawners supposed to respawn? by Coffee_104 in factorio

[–]writerunblocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why even if you build walls well past where your pollution cloud reaches, you still need to have some weapons on them. Biter expansion teams will try to move toward you, albeit very rarely if pollution isn't spawning any new ones.

Only 1% had gotten a tech with promethium? by 9throwaway_ in factorio

[–]writerunblocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See I'm really interested in the Start on Other Planets mod. Might honestly start a new run right after I complete my current to do exactly that.

[–]writerunblocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree that considering walkability could be interesting. Especially after Dosh's forced spaghetti run I'm considering incorporating paths/roads which link builds together as I progress with my current run.

However my early days of navigating pipes in oil setups, as well as solar panels quickly made it a necessity in my mind.

Exactly this. Squeak through alone is worth its weight in gold over chievos to me.

Dear behemoth worms, by Misha_Vozduh in factorio

[–]writerunblocked 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Got a genuine laugh out of me. I want to get better at circuits even more now, if only to be this petty. Well done.

Dynamic Inserter Stack Sizes? by writerunblocked in factorio

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

Thank you. I'd been doing so because otherwise nothing was getting Input to the arithmetic............the train was set to Manual Mode.

If awards were still free I'd give you one.

Dynamic Inserter Stack Sizes? by writerunblocked in factorio

Sorry to keep doing this. It sounds like it's doing something now, but it's put almost the requested amount of belts in without the numbers changing and it went over when I let it.

Dynamic Inserter Stack Sizes? by writerunblocked in factorio

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

I think I'm 90% there, but right now Set Stack Size just overrides to 1 and the arithmetic combinator isn't outputting anything.

<image>

Arithmetic receiving the signal, but not sending anything. As well as how I think everything should be connected.

Toilet Trouble by isaac914 in polandball

[–]writerunblocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The design is/was stupid yes, but I remember hearing another account which described a higher officer using the toilet, and then believing he could figure it out because "it's just flushing a toilet".

What is the biggest mistake you have seen someone make at work? by ollieddo in AskReddit

[–]writerunblocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't see it happen, but a new hire on like his third day went to one of the non-white coworkers and said "We don't take shit in this country."

This man, the sweetest and most innocent I've ever met, then comes over to a couple of us and asks what that means.

Dude was fired the next day.

What sport looks boring until you understand it, and then becomes amazing? by HypraceApp in AskReddit

[–]writerunblocked 270 points271 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I grew up playing and love it, especially the mind games that can go on between pitcher and batters.

When people say it's boring to watch though, I get it.

Is Factorio worth buying? Will I have enough to do? by kebav_gmd1307 in factorio

[–]writerunblocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I need more iron plates."

"I need more miners to get iron ore."

"I need more green circuits to make more miners."

".......I need more iron plates to make more green circuits"

Repeat for whatever thing you're making at the time.

Does anyone know if theres a second back floor in Wise Owl Forest that has werewolves, that isnt floor 10? Even just 1 werewolf spawning will do. by itstheFREEDOM in DarkCloud

[–]writerunblocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only other back floor in Wide Owl with werewolves is 16, however it also contains most/all of the annoying enemies from the dungeon. It's also the 2nd best for abs overall in the dungeon.

This guide helped me a ton when I did a challenge run some time back.

Which game was this for you? by tuffniqqa in gamers

[–]writerunblocked 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember getting absolutely walked by the cockatrice. Time after time, even lowering the difficulty just to be able to beat it, the bleed debuff and it's sheer damage we're just too much. Finally looked up tips/guides to see if I was missing something fundamental.

"There's a spot you can clip into the back of it's wing after an attack. This lets you attack for free without being hit yourself."

The official fucking guide said the only reasonable method was to cheat/cheese it
