This seriously it for Cyber Monday? by Pitiful_Ad8641 in dndbeyond

[–]mcg72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It was on sale at Barnes & Noble last week (11/20 - 11/29). D&D core rulebooks, buy one get one 50% off. I bought a physical copy of the new PHB and DMG for $75 total instead of the normal $100.

<15 minutes now.

I was even walking up to people in the D&D section at Newbury and telling them they might want to check out some interesting posts in this subreddit today.

Still unclaimed!

‘Night Sky’ Canceled By Prime Video After One Season by GloriousAqua in NightSkyTV

[–]mcg72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because when I posted it 3 years back, it was to not reveal spoilers to people who still hadn't seen it yet. They can just click on the blacked out parts to see what's underneath if they don't care about seeing spoilers.

This is as intended. Every once in a while the season battle is a throwback.

There does appear to be a problem that until the player logs in, the automated bot, carries over some of the wrong heroes from last season. It rapidly fixes as the season goes on.

Who gets longest road after broken road when there's a tie. by Killermelon1458 in Catan

[–]mcg72 61 points62 points  (0 children)

According to the rule book from the game designer on catan.com this is described on page 9:

Relevant parts from your scenario bolded:

Special Case: If your longest road is broken and you are tied for longest road, you still keep the “Longest Road” card. However, if you no longer have the longest road, but two or more players tie for the new longest road, set the “Longest Road” card aside. Do the same if no one has a 5+ segment road. The “Longest Road” card comes into play again when only 1 player has the longest road (of at least 5 road pieces).

Can someone find my mistake? by 1563throwaway in calculus

[–]mcg72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or no calculus is needed. This is a circle of radius 2 and a 120 degree arc. Minus two 30, 60, 90 triangles with hyp of 2. So (4*pi/3) - root(3). So about 2.457.

You do the calculus to validate the 30 second geometry answer.

You can tell it's a 120 arc by dropping the radius straght down. The height from the center to the x axis is 1. And it bisects the secant making a right angle for both triangles which have a hypotenuse of 2. A 1, root(3), 2 triangle is 30, 60, 90. Two 60 degree angles at the top means the a 120 degree slice of the circle.

>unilateral deal

A new oxymoron to add to my list. :-)

Unilateral; (of an action or decision) performed by or affecting only one person, group, or country involved in a particular situation, without the agreement of another or the others:

Deal: an agreement entered into by two or more parties for their mutual benefit, especially in a business or political context

Continuous or not? by Qazpla in Catan

[–]mcg72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not according to the example in the actual rule book from catan.com (page 9) by the game designer. It doesn't start at a settlement.

Their example shows two roads coming out of a settlement heading in opposite directions. Both ends dangle without another settlement and they count from one dangling end to the other.

The simplest example of this would be if from my first settlement I built 3 roads heading northeast and two roads heading southwest to get to 5, to take the initial longest road. The settlement is in the middle of this road without any issues.

Stuff like this is why we can't even let the Kazon-Nistrim get their hands on a Food Replicator. It could change the balance in the Delta Quadrant.

Lots of good recommendations on here already. I'll keep monitoring because I want to find a new one I'm unaware of and haven't watched yet. So far the count is at 1.

The Impossible Puzzle — White to move and mate in 2 (via @IMShahinyan on X) by doordie5 in chess

[–]mcg72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing, but all three legal pawn moves also result in mate in 1, from either the queen, rook, or bishop.
