Life Advice / Toilet unclogging trick I wanted to share
« on: January 15, 2019, 09:38:04 pm »
I havent seen this one around but I've used it in the past with great success. Obviously works better with partial obstructions as you'll see.

Fill a buclet with water, lift bucket over your head, aim water trajectory towards toilet.
If I've done my math correctly, you're aiming 20kpa of water pressure at the obstruction, which will deal with most problems.  If there is a complete obstruction you can still try, but be cautious with the amount of water as you dont want to overflow

Other Games / Grim Dawn Theorycrafting & impressions
« on: December 27, 2018, 07:55:04 am »
Hello, I think we HAD a dedicated GD thread back in the day, but since it's not within living memory I've decided to start one anew. Mostly to discuss and muse about char builds.


My main character right now is a summoner Apostate. Currently level 35, the main idea  and core build is to use word of renewal and inquisitor seal to provide more damage and survivability to skeletons.
( I was going to post a link to the build but grimtools is down)
Anyways, this is what I'm doing, in this order
- Max skeletons and undead legion
- Max Word of renewal and steel resolve
- Max Inquisitor seal and arcane empowerment (roughly at the same time as the above) 
- Max will of the crypt *** I'M HERE CURRENTLY: From now on planned features
- Max call of the grave, master of death.
- Max spectral blinding
from here things get blurrier: I was planning to invest the remainder points in a combination of spectral wrath and blight fiend. Given that I plan to use BF only as a decoy and that my skellies might benefit from spectral wrath lowered vit resistance (and my spectres from the lowered aether resistance) I might go with that and leave points in BF at a minimal level (as it's damage doesnt really synergy with my other damage bonus skills


I'm finding that inquisitor seal reeeallly boosts your skelly survivability, so I'm looking a lot into that. I've not completely thought through what devotions I'm picking, for now I have panther and fiend (for skeletons)


Other shit I'm trying at the same time

- Cabalist (I'm struggling a bit mostly because there are too many things I like  to take. I think in the end I'm going to need to make sacrifices and either downscale the necro part of cabalist drastically, or downscale the familiar and use it only for the aura)

- Gunslinger apostate: fooling around with this one. Idea is aether damage build with a crypt fiend as a tanky decoy.

- Electric raven warlock: possibly combined with a tanky hellhound.

- Purifier (nuff said. cookie cutter though I have to think the devotions through)

- Summoner ritualist (as with cabalist... I have to think through what I want to do with this one)

Life Advice / Why is my samsung galaxy tab 8' T713randomly playing an alarm?
« on: December 15, 2018, 04:52:09 am »
Ok, so this has been driving me nuts for months, but my tablet randomly plays a weird melody. I've checked all the alarms and none are set. I've checked the calendar and there is nothing there either. I have run malwarebytes in case of troll hacker and no cigar.

Any clue as to what might be causing this?

Other Games / Depths of Extinction
« on: September 29, 2018, 07:41:37 pm »
I've been playing this today and it's quite good. It's a FTL/NewCom hybrid: you select an adventure, select a sub, and select a team. Within said adventure you move through points like in FTL and go through events and/or combat, which is very xcommish. There is a levelup class system for characters (likewise vaguely similar to newcom, although a bit more detailed with stat allocation) and inventory.  Graphics are pixelstyle, and not bad at all.

My biggest criticism is that, as it stands now, it doesnt feel like you have much control over the sub and sub vs sub combat its just random events.  Nonetheless it's a fast fun addictive game

Other Games / All praises to Freeablo, Open Source remake, survivor of the classic games
« on: July 31, 2018, 09:08:31 am »
Sooo after I heard in this forum about Diablo 1 becoming open source, I began to look into things, and found three very interesting projects
This one is already working, and it is a mod. Adds a couple of new classes, and features, and HD !!!
https://mod.diablo.noktis.pl/


This one is a more long term project, aims to be a full remake a la open xcom

https://freeablo.org/

Devilution is another remake, but less ambitious, as it seems to preserve everything, good and bad, verbatim

DF General Discussion / Downsizing DF for performance purposes
« on: July 26, 2018, 09:40:43 pm »
Hello, I have searched for this to no avail, even though I´m sure others have asked for it (and I´m pretty sure I asked this myself in the past for previous versions): is there any way to stop migration altogether, be it through game mechanics or through modding?

The main point is to prevent FPS death, of course. I really want to try the new version, but I groan at the thought of getting invested and then suffering FPS death.

Likewise, if there IS a way, I´d appretiate a reminder on how you lower the pop reqs for invasions and megabeast attacks...

Hello, given my unwise kickstarting of Battletech (I say unwise because I find the final game rather boring), I´ve found myself in possesion of a spare Stellaris Key. Anyone interested?

I've seen it for sale and I'm considering it as a "modernized minecraft in space". But given how badly No Man Sky went, I want to ask before rushing in to buy.

Some light-hearted strategy game to break the grimdark trend: You play a group of goodhearted robot pirates who have to fight evil pirates in procedurally generated ships. You have all sort of guns and different characters. All in all an interesting and cool game :)

Life Advice / Help locating a song from a commercial? (HARD MODE)
« on: January 19, 2017, 07:45:17 am »
Its hard mode because I dont know either the name of the song or what was being advertised. I recall the slogan was "share something more", and it might have been about booze. The line had been worked into the song as well but it might be an advert specific modification. The advert might be anything from 5 to 15 years old.
