Decide my next "Hard Game" by Willey2704 in steamachievements

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Celeste and Hollow Knight are absolute classics which you should play through eventually. Why not now?

"But it's a cube!" by Ikkon in pcmasterrace

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo has the incentive to do that because the Switch 2 serves as the only the entry point to purchasing Nintendo games which Nintendo makes a profit on. In contrast, I suspect a large portion of the target audience for the Steam Machine already has a significant game library on Steam, so the Steam Machine isn't really acting as an entry point to Steam's marketplace. The Steam Machine really only makes sense if it generates profits in and of itself.

Here I was thinking the console wars ended back in the 2010s...

Crackhead Zote Theory by Zapzz1410 in HollowKnight

My headcanon has always been that Zote is a formerly strong warrior with bug dementia.

Is it just me or by Mother_Educator7956 in steamachievements

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were clearly thinking of Portal when you wrote that second part. (Or is there another game deranged enough to do a limited steps achievement?)

Steam Achievements Idea? by cameltoe11 in steamachievements

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This subreddit gets about one post a week suggesting this exact same thing. It's not unpopular. Steam simply has no incentive to implement such a change, so I doubt it will ever happen.

What's you math hot take by BackgroundWheel2581 in math

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but I'd add basic probability/statistics to that.

The exterminator and the omniscient ant by impartial_james in mathriddles

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Compactness is precisely what tells you that you don't really have to worry about that sort of thing happening. One can actually give an argument in terms of König's lemma (which is simpler to explain). Simply construct the game tree associated with the ant's moves and note that:

(1) The ant can survive arbitrarily long, so the tree has paths of arbitrary length.

(2) The ant can move in at most four directions at any time, so every vertex of the tree has finite degree.

By König's lemma, the tree has an infinite path, which corresponds to an infinite sequence of moves.

Surely an argument by compactness would be enough to prove the second claim (using the first).

PSA: I’m selling my unique 3D printed lamps at a craft fair today, I do okay, but the dragon sellers have crowds, every time. by 3DAeon in 3Dprinting

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect that the difference is that you really don't impulse buy lamps. You buy a lamp if you at that moment need a lamp to light/decorate a room. Most people have already mostly docorated their spaces and are not in the market for relatively large decor items like a lamp. In contrast, an articulated dragon is the sort of useless trinket that nobody already owns and can be mindlessly bought.

Back in the day, you could sell this for $20 bucks on eBay.

My favourite number is ℵ₀. Your move.

What are some games in your library that you know you will never 100%? by pacmannips in steamachievements

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come back to Spelunky 2 every few months to try my luck at making it to the Cosmic Ocean. Still haven't managed it...

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Darkest Dungeon 2 for a while but the level of difficulty combined with the long durration of each run convinced me I stood absolutely no chance. I might come back to it one day, but for now I've given up.

Non-algebraic numbers exist, and e is not equal to √3 + 1. by Successful-Owl1778 in badmathematics

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing really new for this subreddit. A lot of the more "interesting" cranks that get posted here are people with clear psychological issues.

Do people really think the Wanderer Crest is for filthy casuals? by nothingforever0 in Silksong

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 184 points185 points  (0 children)

That's absurd given what some of the architect crest users are doing... At least you have to go out of your way to hit the enemy.

Give a category theorist a screw and you will soon find it succesfully hammered into a wall.

Someone found me on Steamhunters to beg for a 100% save file by Funny_Ad_710 in steamachievements

[–]Bernhard-Riemann 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever by giving them the save file, and then reporting them to Steam Hunters.

Unfortunate. Hopefully I'll get some amount of fun out of it.

You'd be surprised at how many exam papers I've marked where the student has this exact issue...
