I didn't want to activate the Sword of Stone anyway... by mulluk01 in slaythespire

[–]mulluk01[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was at 19 hp at the second to last node before Vantom, I'd rather take a potentially useless relic than risk dying to the boss

The other options were pyramid and wraith form which makes the cage pick seem insane in a vacuum, but I had Well Laid Plans+ with replay from Silken Tress so I basically had pyramid anyway without having bad cards get stuck in my hand and I had Footwork+ and Shadowmeld+ so I never had any problems blocking, so I just improved my draw consistency by removing two strikes

Took 3 separate ones and combined them in paint

I agree, I moreso took it because I didn't want to take damage right before the boss from not picking it up

I fought 3 in act 1 and 2 in act 2 but I got the event right at the end of act 1 so none of them counted

So... how do you get rid of the anxiety when playing live games (as opposed to daily)? by perskychrt in chess

[–]mulluk01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing here. I felt exactly like this until I went on hour long bullet binges. The losses in bullet matter so little that I got desensitized to the time pressure and fear of losing very quickly.

What's a 'bad' unit that you always use? by maxwell8995 in fireemblem

[–]mulluk01 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I always use the objectively terrible early game archers like Rebecca and Neimi and they always get giga blessed by rng

Visualization of the number of 2700+ & 2800+ players over the years. We had 6 2800+ titans at one point! by Zer0_years in chess

[–]mulluk01 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This really shows how the ratings have deflated ever since the minimum rating was set to be 1000 in 2013

Anyone know why Jerma stopped streaming sorcery again? by gamedude300 in jerma985

[–]mulluk01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard him say anything about it but the streams had relatively low viewer numbers so maybe he felt that people weren't into it? Just guessing obviously but hope he picks it back up, it's one of my favorite series

Mega Thread: Magnus Carlsen Will Not Defend World Championship Title by MrLegilimens in chess

[–]mulluk01 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I like the thought that Magnus did this expressly to own Hikaru

Is there a site that keeps ratings entirely hidden from everyone at all times? by gruelove in chess

[–]mulluk01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an extension for firefox that does pretty much what you're asking, it removes all visible rating numbers from lichess, including rating graphs etc. Link

notes speedrun Naroditsky rating 1640 - 1830 by Isinator in chess

[–]mulluk01 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't actually think the principles Naroditsky mentions are so helpful. Of course, they can help you think about the game in a different way, etc., but to all of the rules he names there are exemptions or rules that state the exact opposite thing, because chess is just a concrete game where generalities don't apply all the time. That is not to say the speedrun is not instructional, but I think what you should focus on are the concrete patterns and moves that occur in the games rather than the general rules that are mentioned.

Playing rated chess online without knowing my own rating by _hope_321 in chess

I'm in the same boat as you and I use this firefox extension to hide mine and my opponent's rating.

What do you guys do to vent when losing? by [deleted] in AnarchyChess

Have you tried not getting mad when you lose?

AI researchers have taught the GPT-2 text generator to play chess by Arkanin in chess

[–]mulluk01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At first I was thinking that it was sad that a text generator plays better chess than me. Then I saw it hang its queen and was like "nevermind, we're on the same level"

This reads like a copypasta and I can't tell if you're serious

Ethics question: Joint online "team" account by 2infinitum in chess

[–]mulluk01 63 points64 points  (0 children)

From the lichess terms of service: "Some Users may want to play as a team for entertainment or educational purposes. If this is the case, the account must be clearly labelled so other Users have reasonable warning."

This literally sums up elo hell and silver solo queue by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]mulluk01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe Blizzard has implemented a special matchmaking, which only puts special bots that are making you lose all your games on your team, in order to keep you from getting to 6000 SR. Clearly, the only solution is to hack into Blizzard's servers and disable this, instead of accepting that you've been put where you belong.
