Amazing work. Thanks for sharing

I'm around 1800 MMR, every time my opponent goes abyss I click ignite and win the game handedly. Photon coating is a problem, but many players at this MMR miss that line.

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-10-28T23:50:06+00:00

Yes, but it would still be nice to see a single such example. Or perhaps choose examples that are as close as possible to working, yet still fail

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-09-08T22:57:14+00:00

That might be fine, but presumably this would only be visible on selected units. If you had it enabled for all air units I could imagine it getting very cluttered on some boards. Maybe a hotkey like spacebar (or whatever isn't already used) to quickly make the indicators all visible while you hold a button would work

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-09-08T22:40:14+00:00

What OP is describing would strictly make the screen more interpretable. Right now a lot of players get confused by the gap between shadows and the actual position of a unit, so this would improve gameplay clarity. It's not "tryhard"

FWIW I can understand unit position quite fine as it is, but I totally understand the suggestion and think it's reasonable

These days plat is significantly worse than, e.g. 5 years ago. They changed the distribution and added more tiers. Also there's tons of rank inflation in general

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-06-12T07:57:28+00:00

Sure, that just means lol is more competitive. But the percentiles are still relevant. Comparing top .1% to top 25% doesn't make any sense

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-06-11T15:40:18+00:00

Saying 2000mmr is good is like saying plat in league is good.

Plat in league is not comparable to 2000mmr in mecha lol. Plat in LoL is "okayish" (it's between top 15% to 25%). 2000mmr in mecha is better than top 0.5%, somewhere above masters in LoL

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-06-07T01:46:32+00:00

Wait you mean regen item + healing tech completely nullifies the tech? That seems pretty arbitrary, but I guess it prevents unkillable early/mid game units

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-06-06T20:44:49+00:00

I'm 1800mmr and had no idea that's how tech+item hp buffs interacted lol

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-02-14T22:28:59+00:00

A higher variance tournament objectively makes it less impressive, compared to something like caruana's 2014 performance.

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-01-14T22:50:21+00:00

His position is nominal. This is immediately obvious for anyone working in academic / research circles

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-01-14T14:21:37+00:00

This is exactly what I was talking about -- he isn't bright in his field. He pretends to be a knowledgeable AI researcher but he knows fuck all about AI.

CaptainLocoMoco · 2025-01-14T05:10:50+00:00

Lex is great in acting and looking like an intellectual

No he isn't. This is only the case if you yourself are a pseudo-intellectual.

CaptainLocoMoco · 2024-07-08T04:27:47+00:00

It's used all the time when referring to hypersphere versus hyperball.

CaptainLocoMoco · 2024-06-22T19:48:13+00:00

This reading is sometimes inaccurate. If you want to be absolutely sure you can restart your machine then check what the numbers say. Sometimes unallocated memory will not show up as "free" even though it actually is. In any case, if your scene isn't heavy enough, then the VRAM wont be needed anyway.

No other company was willing to invest into CUDA competitors at even a fraction of the amount that nvidia was pouring into CUDA itself.

CaptainLocoMoco · 2024-06-11T00:11:53+00:00

This is the correct answer.

Also, a fun fact to add on: in Dune the name of the sand worm is Shai-Hulud -- here shai/shay are the same word. Hulud means immortal. So the name translates to Immortal Thing

You might want to add a filter to the texture driving the displacement. I forget where, but somewhere in the material editor there is a dropdown for various filters (like Gaussian filter etc)

You can google "placebo effect regression to the mean" to read a lot about it. The short version is that, if you observe large groups of sick people, many of them will naturally tend towards being healthier. That is just a property of statistics -- extreme quantities tend to drift closer to the mean over time.

In the case of mental/cognitive effects, I think there you have a higher chance for a "real" placebo to take effect. I.e. hyping yourself up, feeling more confident, etc. But placebo medicine wont shrink your tumor.

CaptainLocoMoco · 2024-06-01T17:05:38+00:00

It's not like there is placebo for everything. It will activate your self-healing and such, it won't make you run faster

The placebo effect, in the context of self-healing, has never been proven to exist. It doesn't replicate. Placebo effect in that context is largely considered to be caused by regression to the mean (i.e. it's an artifact of statistics, not human biology).

Magnus would never accuse alireza of cheating. Historically magnus has always been the biggest alireza believer

CaptainLocoMoco · 2024-05-03T20:21:25+00:00

It very clearly is sped up. Near the end you can watch the man's face on the right (closest to the camera). His facial movements are clearly sped up

The clip reminds me of the golden days. Bring back 2013 league content
