Sting Shard trap also works great, I just threw one of those at every minion spawn and then they die in one Needle hit after. If you stack poison on it then you probably don’t even need the follow up hit but I don’t remember if you can have the Pollip Pouch before this fight or not.
Sting Shard is great in general though. Does 2x Needle damage in a trap you can place in midair, can be poisoned with Pollip Pouch for even more extended DPS, is AoE-capable and can hit multiple enemies, and is cheap enough to refill at 7 shell shards. It’s been my primary red tool so far all game, though I just got to Act 2 recently and I’m hoping to find something better here.

Last Judge was the only boss so far that almost completely filtered me from the game and I think the reason why was because of how very little warning you get before the big spin. I think like an extra quarter of a second on that startup animation would go a huge way toward making her way less annoying. Took me two days to complete the fight because I kept getting so tilted by getting hit with the spin.
The runback wasn’t difficult at all but it was very annoying. You can avoid all enemies on the route except for a single drill fly, but it takes a whole 30 seconds or more to make the run back to the boss fight. Don’t fuck up your platforming though, the sand worms do two damage, so missing a landing means you’re stuck spending the first 10 seconds of the fight trying to Bind with your cocoon silk if you want to survive more than one single hit (two, if you found all the act 1 mask shards).
To be honest I ended up finally defeating Judge by strapping on the Pollip Pouch and sticking her full of poison straight pins. I regret nothing and I do not consider this to be dishonorable.

There’s a super easy way to solve this. Especially for corporations.
“The company’s operations will be suspended during the suit, until such time as the court can determine whether the company is operating illegally.”
You want to flood the zone with shit to draw out your court case for 18 months until everyone loses interest? You can still do that. But you won’t be making any money while you do, and I expect your employees still need paychecks if you want them to still be there when this wraps up.
This isn’t a silver bullet for every sort of court case, but I think this is a very sensible and obvious solution to corporate crimes.

This is good advice.
I didn’t figure 90PSI to be all that dangerous, we use a cheetah tank at my job sometimes for seating tires and that fires at 120PSI, but it’s through a much larger orifice - so it wouldn’t be as loud as through the valve stem. Losing the valve core is also a real possibility.
I, a professional dumbass and mechanic, would probably pull the cores at any pressure up to but definitely not exceeding 100, and may very well regret my decision to do so. Any normal people who value their safety and don’t deal with tires on a daily basis, and don’t have a stash of a thousand spare valve stems 20 feet away, should exercise more caution.
Thanks for calling me out on that, I probably don’t respect lowish high pressures as much as I should. I’ll try to keep an eye on that (from behind my safety glasses).

If it were up to me to do so, I’d remove the valve core to let the tire vent some pressure. Might still recommend some safety glasses for it though because if you don’t have a good grip on that core it’s going to fire itself out of the valve stem like an air rifle pellet.
If you don’t have a valve core removal tool then you can also just press down on the tip of the valve core with a small screwdriver or something, but you might be risking some damage to the core doing that, and you’re going to be sitting there an awful long time listening to it psssshhhh it’s way back down to 30. Even if you do damage the core it’s nothing that isn’t fixable at a tire shop though.

If it blows itself off the car during travel because you hit a pothole the wrong way, it is definitely a dire risk to life and limb. It’s less about the impact of the tire itself at that point and more about the fact that you’re basically guaranteed to suddenly swerve off the road.
- Comment on Just a little bit more 1 week ago:
For the non car-folks in this thread :
Normal tire pressure is about 30-40 PSI and a bad rupture can kill you or break your bones even at that pressure if you’re standing next to the tire.
This person has just installed four bombs on their vehicle that will go off at the slightest inconvenience. A 90 PSI car tire is an imminent risk of death to the driver and everyone around them. Do not let your friends or family do this.

- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 3 weeks ago:
In my left hand, I have a manfile, written by the very same people who wrote the tool or language that I’m trying to use. It is concise, contains true information, and won’t change if I look up the same thing again later.
In my right hand, I have a pathological liar, who also kinda sorta read the manfile and then smooshed it together with 20 other manuals.
I wonder which of these options is a more reliable reference tool for me? Hmm. It’s difficult to tell.

Yep. I didn’t have a huge issue with them charging for new DLC. If the DLC is good then fine, devs gotta eat.
When they sunset content that I paid for and tell me it’s no longer accessible, that’s when I dropped the game like a hot potato. Should have requested a refund, actually.
- Comment on Pandering to conservative Americans 3 weeks ago:
monochromatic flag referred to as a “no quarter” flag
Intent or not, that’s what it is, the black flag or no quarter flag is one that states I will kill you dead even if you surrender.
Chuds think this means they’re tough manly men, what it really means is a declaration that they cannot be trusted with anything for any reason. It’s broadcasting to the world that you don’t intend to abide by any rules of engagement so it’s best to just blow you off the map pre-emptively. Flying this flag, even if you don’t even engage with an enemy, is itself a war crime according to the Hague conventions.

Florida (and twelve other states besides, but of course Florida is on this list) straight up just doesn’t have inspections. If you can bolt a license plate to it, it’s legal to drive, road safety be damned.
Georgia somehow does require inspections and yet still allows this trash on the road, which might be worse somehow, I can’t decide.
- Comment on Cyclist injuries dropped by half after “hated” cycle lane installed, but mayor still claims scrapped lane largely used as “bike run” for drug dealers to “get through traffic" 4 weeks ago:
Oil and petrol companies are some of the richest and most politically connected industries in the world. Each person who rides a bike is a person who does not spend money on fueling a car.
I just assume that Exxon/BP/et al have thrown blanket bribes at every politician in every country to be generally against bike lanes for whatever reason they can pull out of their ass, so long as they don’t come right out and say “BP has paid me directly to decry bike lanes”.

- Comment on The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another way 5 weeks ago:
I feel like that’s a little disingenuous because all those things actually serve a purpose. You need that computing power to keep up with modern software. But in 99% of cases, plugging KB+M into a USB2 vs USB3 makes no difference whatsoever. Excluding edge cases where say, your keyboard has its own USB port that you’re then trying to put a splitter on, or charge your phone on, it otherwise just legitimately doesn’t need the extra power of USB3. The basic input processes of the keyboard and mouse haven’t changed in 40 years and that’s why such a comparatively ancient piece of tech is still usable. Even just USB2 already has enough power and bandwidth on a keyboard to run your RGB backlights while still taking input with no additional latency.
I think if the manufacturer cared more about their customers and their brand image, then yeah, they’d just go ahead and make all the ports USB3 regardless. But if you’re cranking out 10,000 shitty PCs a week that you want to sell for under $500, and you can save 3 cents a unit by making two USB ports USB2, that’s still a technically viable product that can be sold and used without issue (at least, without issue pertaining to these USB ports, anyway). It makes the manufacturer a bit skeezy, but it’s not like they’re selling you something you can’t use, the things work just fine. You just don’t want to be doing mass file transfer or power transfer through them because they’re bad at both, that’s what your 3.0 port is for, which you have been provided.
This is a Minimum Viable Product sort of thing, this isn’t going to win any awards or any glowing customer praise, but for the market it was intended for (likely business) it’s a cheap ass PC tower that works well enough.

On one hand yes, on the other hand though USB3 is wildly overkill for driving your keyboard.
I can really see both sides of this argument to be honest.
