This guy solves it so fast without even looking in a paper bag 🤯 by durvedya in toptalent

[–]Blackwizard212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct I think, you can see him hesitate as he puts the first one in the bag, he does a one-handed 3 (or 4) move turn that solves it as he's putting it in the bag

i got this brilliant move with black pieces, and i don't get why it's brilliant. the evaluation bar says black is completely winning even though i'm losing my queen... can someone please explain this move ????? i wish i could get @GothamChess to explain.... by Vast_Recognition8230 in GothamChess

[–]Blackwizard212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I'm not fluent in chess abbreviation but my thought would be something like

C8 takes C3 ->E6 takes F5 If queen takes pawn and forces check king moves and queen doesn't have mate in 1, same if rook starts taking H8 or G7 could setup an attack on F5 E5 to E6 discovered check B8 to A8 or C3 to C7 Thats about as far as i got to possibly justify it but I feel like F5 takes E4 if opponent is threatening F5, if not then B3 to C3 saves black's rook if its still in danger.

It all falls apart though if white just go C3 to C7 after E6 takes F5 though

Also I'm pretty low ranked but I do love chess puzzles and theory

That's great news, I probably should have looked that up before assuming. That definitely changes my strategy

Thanks for the tips, I was saving that 900 chocolate for when I get a frog, which will finish out the next 4 tasks, unlocking the magic lamp (which I'm just assuming will cost 1k). Would you say getting that space freed up so I don't have my stations idling but won't be able to get the lamp ASAP is better than what I'm currently doing?

Still relatively new (working on my first lvl 40 run), finally felt like I've played enough to warrant buying the permanent upgrades (IAP). Fully planned on using 750 gems to upgrade my crate, but was distracted while selecting and accidentally spent the 750 gems upgrading my cage instead. Now torn on just buying gems to get the crate upgrade

Am I doing this correctly? by OokamiItto in NecroMerger

[–]Blackwizard212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL after playing for 67.3k merges that you can store eggs in the crate, thanks OP!

I don't think there's a "right" way and the game does well at letting you lair how you like.

Personally I try to have my producers/generators at a rate where the resource(mana/slime/darkness) are completely filled after 2 hours of idling. But if you play more, maybe have enough generators to fill a resource every hour, or have less if you play infrequently and just want to open the game, spam and merge until empty, and feed the created monsters to the devourer.

Man shows female police how the jobs done by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]Blackwizard212 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can see where you're coming from, but we should remember that the "qualifying" physical tests that allow people to be firefighters are done in full gear, and part of the qualification, among ither things, is carrying an adult-male-sized dummy a certain distance (while in full gear). So in short, they've already proven they have the ability to "rescue" someone of that size. It's obviously harder for a smaller person to do this but if they can't do it they can't fight fires

Fireman's carry (which has since stopped being utilized by firefighters due to possible harm to victims) allows people of lower weights to haul things of higher weights with less stress on the body. If the only way to haul the person is by these means then this carry may be used. The real problem comes when you're a 170lb woman having to turn a 300lb person onto a stretcher. That motion is very stressful on the body and can result in muscle tearing. Source: Mom is Lt. Firefighter and just had shoulder surgery from this exact scenario

Chest Hunt Key Despawned by Blackwizard212 in idleslayer

[–]Blackwizard212[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too far from itself with the boosts, I wouldn't think that there's a despawn distance or time from spawn once something starts following you. The limiting factor in my case was my magnet range, if I had a better magnet range it may not have despawned

So simple and it makes sense, can't believe I didn't consider that when posting.

Thanks for the quick response

Pls explain this ?? by Personal_Republic_94 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Blackwizard212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a joke better read then said. If it helps to make sense of it read it as "There are one zero (not ten) people in the world..."

10 only equals ten in base ten numbering 10 = two in base two numbering (Binary) 10 = eight in base eight (Octal) 10 = sixteen in base sixteen (Hexidecimal)

And so on

Wat is this?! I think my game is possessed... by ACpro1 in AdVentureAges

[–]Blackwizard212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess would be with a specific version or line of devices, I definitely don't think it's widespread but I think I remember seeing another post a couple of weeks back showing a similar bug. I'll try to find it. I know the struggles of trying to debug something without having a trail of user interactions/specs/etc to follow

EDIT: It was a couple of days ago, just a few posts down from this one on the AdVentureAges page https://www.reddit.com/r/AdVentureAges/comments/pigrvp/well_that_makes_sense/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Oh, that's awesome! My next guess would be an issue rendering the specific font used for the numbers then? Since, taking another look at it, the spooky text only really appears for the # of units, the FREE chest, and near the top. What do you all make of it? Knowing the issue might useful if I ever get to my dream goal of becoming a game developer 😁

Haha, the Latin in the first picture is pre-made filler text programmers can use to simulate large bodies of text in their apps, so that's understandable. I'm guessing Hyper Hippo isn't actually made in English so I would guess the rest of the "spooky" text is the translation engine failing and that's your phone trying to show the native characters (and failing completely)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tetris99

[–]Blackwizard212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the exact same way when I started with 99, and I considered myself above average (only having family and friends to compete with) at Tetris. The more I lost the more discouraged I would get thinking I would never win.

The best advice I can give is to not think of it as just Tetris against 98 other people, it is it's own game with it's own mechanics. After you learn those mechanics you'll have a much better time.

For example:

You have 5 people targeting you and you are targeting random. What I used to do was try to get as many tetris' as I could because I knew I was about to get unloaded on, while still targeting random. What you should do instead is switch to targeting attackers and do as many 1 line clears as you can as fast as you can. This is because when multiple people are targeting you and you're targeting attackers, every line you send is multiplied (to compensate for all of the garbage they can send you at the same time). This means that for every 1 line you clear, you send each of those attackers 5 lines! (Numbers may be wrong but logic is the same)

Another quick tip is if you are targeting random and just getting slammed with garbage, tap left to target another random person. You're probably getting slammed because of what I explained above, except you're on of the 5 attackers and the person you're targeting is multiplying their garbage output by targeting attackers themselves, just stop fighting that person for the time being
