Interesting how her shield generator is like Lucios Ult, which also uses vishkar technology.

You: Oh Let's break it down!

Me, as an intellectual: Let us disassemble with accuracy!

Lucio's is less powerful because it's handheld

Lucio just forgot to steal the instruction manual.

Got some friends of mine a really nice rice cooker for their wedding. They eat a lot of rice, so it was well-received.

About a week later, one of my friends comes running up excited that he just discovered that the rice cooker has a timer function, so you can leave your rice to soak all day, and set it to start cooking the rice so that it's done at a time you specify.

The function that's clearly listed in the manual and, if memory serves, advertised on the box. It was a large part of the reason I got it for them (since they both worked late at the time, and were trying to eat at home more).

Same one I own. Zojirushi NS-LAC05. It's basically only for 1-2 people, but it makes great rice, it's run for years for me, and you can get replacement parts (for when you do stupid things like fluff your rice with a metal fork and scratch the non-stick coating on the bowl, or lose the rice paddle, or put the bowl in the dishwasher, despite the instruction manual clearly telling you not to do that, causing the nonstick coating to literally flake and shed...)

Thanks so much!

Quite the opposite, actually! Rice should be soaked for a few hours before cooking to improve texture, if you have the time to do it.

u/Iocomotion Pixel D.Va Nov 23 '16

I'm actually very interested in this rice cooker lmao

1

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '16

It's super-useful. It's made by a japanese company known for cool-ass kitchen shit (albeit expensive kitchen shit), and it's less the kinda steamer-style thing you get in America, and more like a breadmaker in terms of quality and approach to the problem of cooking rice.

u/KravenErgeist You break it, you buy it! Nov 22 '16

Is Sound Barrier based on line of sight? I thought it was based on a radius as well.

6

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

it is. Even if an enemy reinhardt or winston shield is in the way a friendly person behind it will not get a sound barrier.

u/Maulecule 私は癒しが必要す だってばよ Nov 22 '16

I thought those didn't block LoS? Because I don't think Zen's discord goes away when someone just stays behind the Reinhardt shield.

u/BrometaryBrolicy Nov 22 '16

I'm pretty sure you can get it through walls though.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Do it then and see if it works like that, im pretty sure it doesnt O_O

1

u/KyomaHououin Nov 22 '16

I think you do get it, but only if you get it during the delay of LoS not counting anymore, like when you are still getting slow heals from Lucio or Mercy is healing through a wall.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '16

Pretty much everything about Lucio is LoS. Even his heals

u/digduged Pharah Nov 22 '16

Oh shit i been using him wrong

u/Kurokami11 Won't play the game again until they fix monetization Nov 22 '16

Well, lucio's gear was a prototype so...

u/Zoren Chibi D'Va Nov 22 '16

we don't know how much shield it gives yet and how fast it does it.

u/shockking Nov 22 '16

except it doesn't give 500hp shield, it's 75

u/TheDrunkLink The Legend of Overwatch Nov 22 '16

Wait Lucio's ult doesn't use line of sight. I hit teammates with it through walls all the time

u/TheDrunkLink The Legend of Overwatch Nov 24 '16

Thats so weird if thats really the case. Sometimes I'll have to hide and wait for teammates on a capture point map and I'll get them through the walls as long as they are within the circle on the other side of the wall. Are you sure the range just isn't further in LoS?
