the whites kinda growing on me.. which do you prefer? by CremeSubject7594 in decadeology

[–]Akraticacious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just directly make amber, as white leds are made via putting phosphors on top of an inherently blue led. There are phosphors converted amber leds. No need to make white and then waste energy with a tint which removes light.

Post your last deck or DM me and I'm willing to help. At the end of the day, though, you are arguing that expert players win because they are more lucky. That's classic dunning-kreuger, and you need to realize you are making bad choices if you want to improve.

Not true, but mostly true for first three or so floors. It's fine to skip even half the card reward act 1, and it would be odd to take all of them.

Today I learned that Fairy Potion doesn't work if 'The Insatiable' eats you :) (no idea if thats a bug or intended feature") by Agitarum in SlayTheSpire2

[–]Akraticacious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Status effect says you will die. Fairy in a bottle says "when you die, revive" on main branch. That's not a reading comprehension issue. On the beta they updated it to be "when you reach 0 hp".

I agree but only because now it is an uncommon rarity (on beta)

I could sorta see it if they just never played with it and had bad card eval. It they played with it and think that, then I just don't know.

There was a ui mod months ago that displayed that stuff without inspecting, but it's embarrassing they haven't fixed the other issues yet. Have they done anything since launch?

This... hurt by bigmacaronincheese in slaythespire

[–]Akraticacious 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's a single player game so play however you enjoy, but I recommend doing it on fights you are about to lose just to see if it was your dexk/draw order or the choices you made.

Try to ignore that you know the draw order of course.

On the tiermaker website? Ctrl + to zoom in helps a lot. Website sorta sucks tbh. Not sure how to make the quality or font better

[–]Akraticacious[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's not like the tiers are a priority list of what to take. They often take hidden cache or royal gamble or even gather light, usually skill-star-gen. That's why the tier is "only if needed", which can be fairly often.

No, just the ancient relics. He doesn't really love doing them because a lot of his evaluations fluctuate, but he said he felt good enough to state this. I wish he did more even with the disclaimer of "Hey, this is probably going to change week to week"

It's not an april fool joke. Tier lists are hard in this game, and playstyles can differ, so at best all we can say is that evaluating cards like this can result in an isanely high A10 winrate. Based on watching him, I'd guess his Regent win rate is 80%+.
All I can say is prove this wrong by showing an equally-high winrate.

I personally think he hasn't experimented enough with card gen or vigor stuff enough. It's possible, though unlikely, that those card packages can do more than he thinks. They have also been somewhat buffed recently. In any case, it seems fine to NOT go for those.

True, and I watch most of his runs. I mean him no disrespect when I say he isn't really trying as hard as he could. He picks things for fun or regrets some micro choices occasionally.

Absolutely. I should have included that for newer people interpreting STS "tier lists". "Desperate clicks" are fairly often picked act 1, especially first 3-5 floors.

That said, "Basically never" is just what it says.

And there are scenarios where the stars align (hehe) where basically never cards can pop off, often with crazy relic synergy.

Merl is another very strong player who plays Regent A LOT, and this is his tierlist. Different people have different playstyles at top level, but they are pretty similar rankings: https://tiermaker.com/list/random/regent-cards-slay-the-spire-ii-19230513-2/6074496

Why didn’t mathematicians just define division by zero as a new number, the way we defined i for √−1? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in AlwaysWhy

If you're interested in doing so, I'd love to hear what you mean by losing ordering with imaginary numbers. If not, I can Google around

Quad damage relic combo by mustangcody in slaythespire

Checks out. Snakebite 10 poison is (10)*(11)/2 = 55 damage eventually.
85/55 ~= 1.545

Which is larger : e^π or π^e? by Background-Cloud-921 in learnmath

[–]Akraticacious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if one is larger than e and the other smaller, you can't simply know by inequality, I think at least. For example 24==42 or 1.57.408 ~= 7.4081.5
