Hey everyone. I played this game the other day and I thought some of you may enjoy it. It was a interesting game where both of us started with some overused builds. We then transitioned straight into losing our bases, with an interesting outcome of where we ended up. Enjoy!

Oh, and about the profanity in the replay name, I hope you get the reference. :p

funny, these guys make it sound much worse then i believed you have played. when i watched the replay i thought it was rather good but with all those negative comments from the commentators it sounds like the worst game ever.

I have to agree with you Accname. Although there were several points in the game where I would've prioritized my attacks differently, I still think you did a great job.

One thing you definitely did better than I would have is keeping calm. That is one of the greatest counters to cheese and you did a great job at it(I am sure you were really scared while playing(I know I am when I'm getting cheesed) but you didn't let it affect your play style that much)

Nice job Whitesock.

Those commentators are pretty hilarious. I love the way they talked shit to Dub. :p He deserved it for the cheese.

Well keep in mind they were doing a trollcast. The fact that they said so little about me tells me they had trouble with finding much to really get me on. I can see at the end I was playing very cautious, but when you have a lead there's no reason to jump to the end. :p

Haha. Well actually when I left the drone at his natural I was going to block his expo (since most toss fast expo on that map due to the small ramp and easy to guard natural). When I saw the cannons I decided to "proxy hatch" him back cause I knew he wouldn't expect a backdoor hit from there so early. :D

Depends on cheese- 2 gate/6 pool -> just do the right BO to counter it.
Cannon rush however, FUCKING PANIC AS FUCKING HELL.

i am curious why the cannon rush ended that fast. the waygate was completely unused, and only 2 cannons were built. wasnt that a total waste of money? i mean in a pro game no zerg would have been stopped by that i guess.

    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
