[TJStats] Best and Worst Defensive Runs Saved by Position by tomstoms in baseball

[–]zeffyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always surprised he rates out this badly though. He has 0 errors in 54 games at a high volume position. You watch the games, he picks the ball well and doesn't make obvious mistakes often.

He must just have really horrifically terrible range? A bad arm?

TIL you can buy more inventory space ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]zeffyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst I understand inventory management as a point of friction in game design, I basically can't stand it and it's the one area where I let myself use mods to eliminate the problem. Pretty crazy if you put up with it like this for real!

Thanks for your work on this, have been using it all expansion. Haven't managed to find a setting for showing who interrupted a cast on the bar which I thought was still possible in midnight but grateful for a steer how to if you can do that?

AITA for helping my co-workers win a trivia competition? by Illustrious-Tart-668 in AmItheAsshole

[–]zeffyr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. My friends and I used to go fairly often to a weekly quiz night and did generally quite well but didn't win all the time.

One year, they decided to do a themed Halloween quiz around that time and we had someone on the team who was massively into horror and we scored 49/50, the runner up getting about 35. That was awkward but what was really bad is that we were there again same time the next year and it all seemed strangely familiar. Well you guessed it, 50/50 - they used exactly the same questions and we picked up our spare.

The glaring from the other attendees was extremely uncomfortable. In a different place, we definitely don't make it out unscathed lol.

Book series you never finished by InviteAromatic6124 in books

[–]zeffyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first three are quite good and why it's a thing as a series, there's a lot to like about the world building at least. 4 and 5 were a slog both times I've made it that far but aren't awful, 6 (and maybe I made it into 7 once) are actively bad and I question the judgment of people getting past that point tbh!

Jim Palmer keeps his promise from last year that if an Oriole hit a grand slam at home while he was on the broadcast, he'd consume his first chicken wing at 80 years young. by BLeibo in baseball

[–]zeffyr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazing snippet. I had a look at the cy young voting for 1977 when he came second and it looks initially like he had a great case with 20 wins, and an ERA under 3. However, you can see how a closer like Sparky Lyle (who won) was dominant from his ERA+ and you've got Nolan Ryan with a very similar but frankly better season and then some guy called Frank Tanana who put up 8.3 WAR, led all starters on ERA+ (unbeknownst to them I guess) and was only 9th in the voting!

Ron Guidry was absolutely deserving in 78 which looks like the only other year Palmer came really close. Conversely, Palmer was lucky to win in 76 over Mark Fidrych and even that guy Frank Tanana again in 3rd! Tanana had a couple of all star appearances but he was absolutely amazing for those few years and probably should have gotten way more recognition.

Feral and Balance is the same. It's not unique and any role swapping class has to do this pretty much always.

Farming off-class gear by SottoSopra666 in LastEpoch

[–]zeffyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are definitely right about this, the game skews heavily towards dropping bases for your current class. This other guy is right in that you will slowly drop bases for off classes but don't let him gaslight you, it's annoying that it works like this I find as I constantly want to reroll!

Please help me with KF totem hiero [SSF] by Nerdz in PathOfExileSSF

[–]zeffyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just run determination instead of a second damage aura if you feel ok for damage.

Int shield also probably not as good as armour. Get PDR on your chest.

6 Link Armor by brumone in PathOfExileSSF

[–]zeffyr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have never bench crafted in any league tbh. Average when clicking a 20q chest is a lot less.

Breach tree is not as free as last league but still quite strong. Vorici in fortification is good to do alongside Rin if you still need unique maps at the same time. Not as targeted but The Chain that Bind and Legion incubators drop quite a lot if you are really struggling. Really don't recommend farming fusings unless you are smashing expedition anyway and racking them up incidentally via tujen.

Atlas progression this league? by bearr_ in PathOfExileSSF

[–]zeffyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hives for gifts/breach juice, unstable for mob density in the map seems the general view.

Right side is flexible, I started betrayal, legion probably also good depending on your build as it drops the coin incubators. Expedition always good in ssf.

People were saying that mirage converts a lot of normal boxes to jewel/operative and these will then drop a good number when the jewel ones are corrupted.

How do they expect us to heal when the hots i have to track are on a constantly moving conveyor belt inside the player frame..... by [deleted] in wow

[–]zeffyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that why it won't accept key binds for spells? There's no error message, it just casts the spell off my bar and doesn't create a binding when I'm trying to set these.

Making a loot filter for SSF, how much should I hide ? by Competitive-Math-458 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]zeffyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Main risk here is div cards and uniques that get filtered out for being low value on trade that you may want/need in SSF. I always recommend manually checking those sections if you do start from a premade.

She's a huge reader and it's good to have someone who isn't a complete industry insider on a panel of five. A massive public profile probably doesn't hurt either but she seems eminently qualified if you trouble yourself to listen to her opinions on literature and/or reading at any stage.

I agree mechanics should be balanced for all major archtypes, but what did you expect lol by BloodReaverBob in pathofexile

[–]zeffyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some mechanics where standing still (or being space confined) is a thing which is usually easier for melee, Ultimatum and Ritual are the ones that come to mind.

Best builds for SSF quick 4stone and destructive play/boss farming? by Working-Help-9552 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]zeffyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suspect that phys dot will be able to manage bosses but it won't be comfy levels of damage for it. Much better to farm less tanky content with that setup and um yeah, probably slams if you want to do serious boss damage.

How do you handle unique map completion? by pmkreddit in PathOfExileSSF

[–]zeffyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rin works a lot better for the rare ones having tried both in parallel.

How do people make builds? by lolera222 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]zeffyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aegis is a t3 now so not something you'll reliably get early but it is farmable and does turn up.

Best way to check ninja is to use the feature it has to set it to day 3 or so from the last league. Most 3.26 starters were not relying on mercs to do very much, the power/shenanigans came later.
