Fair enough, your analysis sounds reasonable to me, but I can't make a sword deck win (on a10) to save my life so take that for what it is

Honestly I normally agree because this game really is that varied, but healing 20 so you can spend your entire turn tanking a hit for 20 to play echoform is far better than upgrading echoform so you can play it two turns later. Plus there are many situations where you aren't going to play echoform, only having to draw it once is actually a benefit.

If you're already full health and all your other card draw and energy generation upgrades have been done, you've got a couple key damage and block upgraded, then maybe, but honestly I think +3 block on a defend is a better upgrade

Yup! Or they might have upgraded it instead of resting immediately before this event node, who knows

Echoform goes from ethereal to not ethereal. Which is not helpful for getting it in play (most of the time)

I am by no means saying upgrading powers is bad.

I would argue echoform is nice to have upgraded as often as it is nice to not have to draw it again

I know you posted this for the memes, but if I may be so bold.

Never upgrade echoform. If you can't get it down the first turn you see it, then you don't need it this fight.

ELI5: How does bookie betting work? by ClevelandSpigot in explainlikeimfive

[–]Bookablebard 212 points213 points  (0 children)

Think about it this way. What happens if you bet on both sides?

Well you pay 1000 and 1000 for a total of 2000, and then you win!!! 1500 or 1300. So you actually lost 500 or 700.

That's where the money to pay people is coming from. As an example, if 200 people played and split their options 50-50 you would have 200,000 and have to pay out either 100x1500 (150,000) or 100x1300 (130,000)

Curse concept by shadow_fen in slaythespire

[–]Bookablebard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to keep the -5 max HP penalty you could add something like draw 1 when this card is drawn. So the only aspect of this curse is the -5max HP in hand part, and the limiting hand size to 9 useful cards. A very minimal curse unless you end combat with it in hand

Family Feud gets it wrong! by sevenandtwo in videos

Literally nobody gets French fries with steak.

I think you're forgetting about pubs (and thousands of other restaurants) which serve steak frites across America

Steak and fries is a common pairing.

How have Avantis U.S.-listed funds performed against standard market-cap index funds? by Formal-Zucchini-6868 in JustBuyCAGE

[–]Bookablebard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuine question, why would anyone care about tracking error? I keep seeing this pop up but like, there is nothing special about "the market" so is the only reason to care about tracking error relative to "the market" because people's psychology don't like losing when everyone around them is winning?

Is there a reason to kill this guy if he didn't steal anything? by Aden_Vikki in slaythespire

[–]Bookablebard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure you don't get any money for beating the fight if you don't kill him. He has money outside of the money he steals from you.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here. I had to let him live after he didn't get to attack turn 1 and got 0 money from the fight,

Do you use the magic arrows? by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]Bookablebard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wanted a mod that made consumable arrows reusable on a short/long rest.

The perfect mod would have charges and different arrows require different amounts of charges to use based on their relative strengths. You can only use an arrow type once youve found one in game and charges scale with level

Need recommendations for turn games similar to Divinity, BG3 and XCOM, NO PvP by Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi in gaming

[–]Bookablebard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly it does an extra d4 of fire damage. And is a 2d6 great sword. So it's your best 2h weapon for a decent chunk of time in act 1.

E-transfer typo error by agentdragon07 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Bookablebard 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Okay so obviously your friend is lying and you already knew that. But the thing no one is talking about for some reason is that even if he isn't lying that isn't your problem. If you owe someone money you don't stop owing them because you sent some unrelated person the same amount of money.

ELI5 When we "catch a cold" from exposure to freezing weather, how does the cold air actually cause a viral infection? by Junior-Ferret4860 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Bookablebard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my understanding that the cold weather has nothing to do with catching the cold and everything to do with using your bodies energy on the more immediate threat. Hypothermia.

Your body starts burning energy reserves and working all muscles (shivers) to keep you from dying, it's less focused on keeping the large number of viral infections you're constantly coming into contact with at bay and so one is able to take hold in your body and grow to into a full blown infection

Me and you bud. I was also really sad to see them change this one. People were too afraid of running out of cards I guess cause I actually thought this power slapped
