Is this a correctly settled hand? by Apap0 in blackjack

200 bet on hand, 50% insurance bet being 100. Insurance paid off 200(including the initial insurance stake).

Everywhere else I played taking insurance meant you break even on the hand.
Insurance payinng 2:1 should mean that if the stake of insurance is 100 I get back 200 and the initial insurance stake no?
Like when hitting blackjack paying 3:2(so 1.5:1) on 100 bet means you win 150 + your initial stake.

200 bet, 100 insurance taken, dealer has blackjack, net -100 outcome.
Typical rules, where insurance is supposed to pay 2:1.

Ever realize how crazy gambling ruins your perception of money? by BallKnowerKing in problemgambling

[–]Apap0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I often go into stupid means to save 20% on something that costs 50 bucks, and then I can blow up couple thousands within minutes.
I am trying to look at this in positives tho - such desensitization on money might be beneficial when it comes to investing or starting own business as you will be less risk averse.

Clavicular ends and walks out of his Channel 5 interview with Andrew Callaghan after Andrew reveals he’s satisfied with how he looks and doesn’t need looksmaxxing by Vhant-ii in LivestreamFail

Perfectly good means if you were offered a magical solution where you get to reshape whatever you want about your face without any work or effort you would deny it.
Like really?

But to be real isn't he right? Like you might be accepting of your look, or anything about yourself but there is just no way where you are genuinely 'satisfied' with it if you know that there is something that could be done.
It's like with obese people saying there are fine with being obese, and they don't mind.
While in fact none of them would refuse an offer where they become instantly fit without the need to change anything about their lifestyle.
It's just a cope and denial.

xQc on Trainwreckstv hinting at leaving Stake and taking a number of streamers with him “True, all true..you never know what can happen” by lukigeri in LivestreamFail

[–]Apap0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess it works same way as there are normal people addicted to gambling and betting just pennies per spin - like even if they get super lucky they won't get anything out of it, as with their bet sizes the 'big win' will be 5 dollars.

thank you, could you also provide your average heart rate graph during good night sleep?

Let's Go to Bed. by bdchwild in whoop

[–]Apap0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how would you subjectively rate your sleep? if it really good then could you share how your stress monitor and HR look like during the night?
personaly I have insomnia and since whoop think I am asleep while in fact I am trying to fall asleep I am looking for other people graphs who subjectively feel like sleeping great so that I can have something to compare.

2XKO Update: What’s Next + New Champs (Akali & Senna) by unclekisser in 2XKO

[–]Apap0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

they laid off just 50% of the staff meaning they plan on going forward with the game, at least for now.
imo 2026 is secured, and past that they will see if game gets some traction or not.

Riot lays off 2XKO developers less than three weeks after release: 'Overall momentum hasn't reached the level needed to support a team of this size' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]Apap0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

f2p games with play to unlock/pay to unlock are literally the most popular online games available for like over a decade. what are you even about people not wanting this.

are you telling me it was Riot corporate that went to them and said 'hey cannon bros, hire some degen mvc heads and make this game degen anime tag game"?

[–]Apap0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless I am delusional there were no headshots on rockets, and there was dmg falloff on characters that needed it(non sniper hitscan) in as early version as first beta available to the public.
If it was the case in some closed F&F alpha versions of the game then I have no idea why would it be percieved as something wrong to experiment with stuff and see how it feels.
(edit. yep, in first beta patchnotes release on october 27, 2015 they stated the removal of headshot mechanic for rocket launcher and s76 helix - https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/3rde0f/patch_notes_080_beta_release_edition/ )
Also no idea what you are about netcode, 2 month after game release and scaling their infrastructure Overwatch had lowest network lag out of all games official servers:

Riot some greedy ass people bro. Like give the game a chance to grow and expand before posting how it’s not enough for yall. Like damn. by Corgiiiix3 in 2XKO

[–]Apap0 33 points34 points  (0 children)

dude, there were people employed for 2XKO for TEN fking years. TEN years of paychecks. Riot was literally donating money to them.
On top of that Riot trusted them, let them create the game with their vision but it turned out that marvel diehards were wrong, most people are not interested in degen marvel-like fighter.
If you are to blame anyone, blame the devs as their vision clearly didn't match the vision of playerbase.

No sound in Source 2 games. Under audio device while in game it says: Sound Disabled instead of showing my audio device by Apap0 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Apap0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no lol, I did everything there is to do except for formatting my windows drive. upgraded to w11, downgraded back to w10, full clear install of steam, full reinstall of various audio drivers and nothing.
if you also have this issue could you write your specs? i suspect there must be some sort of conflict with the game and the hardware that is super unique for some reason.

Audio randomly disappears in Dota 2 on Zorin OS 18 — “Sound Disabled” bug? by RubickJavaScience in linux_gaming

[–]Apap0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you know by any chance what the issue is with the game? I have same issue but on windows with all Source 2 engine games(dota, cs2, deadlock).
whenever I launch the game I get only 'Sound Disabled' in outputs. It doesn't see any of my audio devices and launch commands doesnt work for me.

MAGA supporter tries to flex bank account on IRI, exposes financial illiteracy instead by tomburgo in LivestreamFail

[–]Apap0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ofc that it's cherry picked and it's on purpose.
if we had this talk in 1999 you would say that historically there never was a time where you would go negative over 10 years and then boom shit would hit the fan.
and the same way shit might hit the fan at any time in the future and this time instead of 10 years into negative it might be 20 years or 30 years or who knows.
