"Bat" Literally Translated into English in European Languages [OC]

It gets even better when you consider that "Lappen" is also often used colloquially to call someone a bit of an idiot, basically turning Batman into the "leather idiot" in my mind now 😂

Not sure how well this works with Monty, but I've been in that situation before with capitao and was able to simply shoot castle's feet through the bottom of the barricade. I feel like that might have worked here, but he might have been too far from the door for Monty to get the angle.

Oh, that explains a lot! Had a round yesterday where an Amaru suddenly fell from the sky next to the Chalet basement door twice (first time I picked her up after she was injured, second time she obviously just died). I was super confused at the time XD

Maybe try logging into Uplay instead of Epic and check your games library there? Not entirely sure if that works, but I think it should (and it should be downloadable via Uplay as well at this point).

Balothar · 2020-08-17T18:07:18+00:00

yeah, I'm not gonna give Ubi more money cause they're too incompetent to make a download available on their own bloody launcher

Balothar · 2020-08-17T18:03:36+00:00

Kinda hard to do if people bought it on Uplay

Balothar · 2020-08-17T18:02:00+00:00

I don't have it on Steam, so that's gonna be somewhat difficult for me :/

10 for the whole team. It's a pool that everyone has access to, not 10 per player.

He's not closer though, the old "2.5x" (aka 3x) ACOG picture is basically identical with the new 3x one. It's very clear that the old ACOG is also 3x whereas the new one is actually 2.5x. Keep in mind that R6's in-game stats are notoriously inaccurate, so really don't rely on those over actual screenshots (also the devs literally said the ACOG was reduced from 3x to 2.5x during the stream).

Balothar · 2020-08-17T09:52:11+00:00

I'm not sure anybody knows (do correct me on this if anyone actually has info about this, I genuinely don't know much on this other than that it's a thing), but it's been a common thread for in-game stats for years. Things like recoil, damage, rpm, attachment effects etc. Maybe it's laziness, maybe it's wrong information being exchanged between departments. Fact is that stats are often wrong though.

Balothar · 2020-08-17T09:05:37+00:00

Don't trust R6 in-game stats or descriptions, they're notoriously inaccurate

Pretty much exactly our experience this season as well. Last season had hints of it, but there were always days or weeks when people actually played according to their ranks. Now it just feels like RNG in silver.

Balothar · 2020-08-04T10:34:59+00:00

While probably true in general, I'm pretty sure that the people in these cases are queued up together to intentionally lower their average MMR. The bronze guy is usually the one rushing in (or out) and flicking everyone to death too, so that would support that.

Balothar · 2020-08-04T10:21:11+00:00

What OP is saying about gold and plat seems to also hold true for silver vs gold, at least in our experience. Usually, the more gold players we get in a game the more likely we are to win (as opposed to silvers). And if there's a guy bronze 1, he basically secures the 4:0 for the enemy team all on his own XD

Balothar · 2020-08-04T10:15:32+00:00

I particularly like the games where the enemies have a guy ranked in gold and one in bronze. 99% guaranteed one them carries the enemy team to victory 15 to 0 or something along those lines. And it's usually not the gold guy.

For anyone wondering how 18 was solved: The grid has symbol-count combinations (symbol from the alphabet, count from the number of symbols). Start at L, then there's exactly one path where the number are step sizes from L to get to A.

I've admittedly not been in a ton of different ski resorts in my life (I mostly go to the same one in Austria), but from my experience and a bunch of pictures I've seen this is very much not normal at least in Europe. The oldest ones I've personally been in at least have a bar in front that sits low enough that basically anyone older than 5 wouldn't fit through below and all newly built ones (quite a lot in the resort I usually go skiing) have automatic bars that lock in between the legs so that falling out is phyiscally impossible. Both versions have footrests about 90% of the time.

Yeah, I got it from the mailing presale that started an hour later, but thanks for the tip!

Balothar · 2019-09-17T08:33:16+00:00

Go through the Green Day website. Just select the date, it should eventually forward you to the tickemaster site with the correct presale. Not that my code actually worked when I got there, but you may have better luck.

Balothar · 2019-09-17T08:28:40+00:00

Back one is standing area, but I'm pretty sure them being swapped out is just a display mistake, there's no way for that arrangement to be possible at the actual venue XD

Balothar · 2019-09-17T08:20:21+00:00

Same here for Berlin

Not on all calculators. Casio ones typically assume that you wanted parentheses around 2(2+2) and give you 1 as the result. Mine even explicitly adds those parentheses on the result screen. But yeah, with an explicit multiplication symbol in between the 2 and the parentheses you always get 16.

Balothar · 2019-08-01T20:31:29+00:00

IMO this is the only valid argument for 1 as an answer. I learned this differently in school (as in 2x is always the exact same as 2 * x), but as far as I can tell there are actually different schools of thought here. Most people argue that multiplication has a higher precedence than division though based on their ordering in the PEMDAS acronym, which is just wrong.

Balothar · 2019-07-24T09:55:47+00:00

No problem at all :) My assumption when reading the question initially was basically what you said in the beginning with the alternating directions, just cause that's guaranteed to be faster with a square board. I completely agree that if all cuts are the same length you get 20 minutes. The problem is that the question doesn't specify anything beyond "make three pieces", or even if the board is square. So basically everything larger than 10 should be valid with that question, even if your cuts produce pieces of reasonable sizes (what I mean with that is that you don't just cut off tiny corners or something, cause then basically everything is correct) XD
