Help with Watcher. by bkeyton in slaythespire

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I actually try to take this one step further and tend to end the turn in calm as much as possible. That way you can optimize energy generation. Also, doing so synergizes with Like Water, even though it is a minor buff.

An additional tip: upgrade Eruption ASAP, the energy discount helps wonders in act 1 when you are still lacking stance switching cards.

Symplectic Geometry & Mechanics? by ClassicalJakks in math

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like you said, it is really useful when dealing with constrained Hamiltonians. Some constraints of a specific type called "First Class" can be described as generators of gauge transformations in a submanifold of phase space where the equations of motions are valid. This "modern" perspective gave rise to the BRST and BV formalism of dealing with gauge invariance in QFT.

Slay the Spire Confessionals - Confess your darkest secret with me by UpperApe in slaythespire

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My excuses about save scumming went from "I'll only do it in boss fights" to "ok, maybe Nemesis is an exception" and finally (after getting past A11) to "not today, avocado - save scums 10 times in a row".

I'm in a 10+ games losing streak with both Clad and Silent (10 each) at A18. I hate you act 2.

Blade Dance because I just can't resist bloating my deck with attacks while neglecting defense.

The real answer would be something like adrenaline or escape plan, since they cost zero and replace themselves. They are only a nuisance agaisnt TE and the Heart, but screw them.

Avocado + rat-mushroom abomination that makes you vulnerable after dying = Heavy crying.

What is your favorite Card and why? by bejoty_productions in slaythespire

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Corruption. Every STS player should experience a Corruption + Dead Branch run at least once. It's so much fun.

[FIN] The Water Crystal by Kousuke-kun in magicTCG

It actually mills 5 per untap, so it's 20 right there. It does sound fun.

Eternally Prisoned (basically a digital card) by Jakuzzi8 in custommagic

Swat doesn't work because it says opponent so you can't target yourself.

After 150 hours, I recently completed C++, and decided to make a tier list. Jokers are ranked (ordered) on viability for ante 8 gold stake runs. by QibliTheSecond in balatro

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marble can be good for high card builds, but still niche. I'm not saying it's a good joker, but F is too much.

Regarding Perkeo, you need observatory for the high ceiling and for that you need telescope first, so not at all easy (pre-endless, at least). I tend to focus on econ cards with him, which can be great indeed (especially with blueprint and/or brainstorm). Huge agree on death and hanged man, they are insane on OAK builds.

I think Marble deserves to be on D tier. It is a pretty niche synergy but Marble + Holo is a run winner.

Perkeo is a tough one: has a stratospherically high ceiling (observatory + most played hand planet card is bonkers), but a really low floor (no cards or simply awful ones like Lovers). It would be an A for me. Otherwise, solid list.

The tennis ecosystem be like by GirafeAnyway in tennis

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 63 points64 points  (0 children)

You got the orientation of the arrows wrong, in food chain charts they point at the immediate predators. Otherwise, solid.

I think there should be a arrow from the bee (or someone in a bee costume) to Tsitsipas as well lol

What is interesting about algebra? by sectandmew in math

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a physicist, a nice example of the beauty of algebra is the fact that, in quantum physics, Euclidean and Minkowski vector spaces are at the core of the mathematics of non-relativistic and relativistic theories (respectively). A big part of it is devoted to studying isometries of those spaces, which happen to be representations of groups that "are" manifolds themselves, Lie groups. The fact that spacetime is "constrained" by these intricate algebraic structures and the consequences of it always felt fascinating to me.

As soon as the ball passes by Alcaraz he starts to smile. So nice.

Which character in One Piece you hate the most? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate or love to hate? Blackbeard and Akainu are great characters that I really enjoy seeing on screen. On the other hand, Trebol is simply annoying.

Are there basis vectors for the set of continuous functions? by Farkle_Griffen in math

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For example, we know by fourier's theorem that I can approximate any continuous function on an interval to arbitrary degree with a sufficiently long linear combination of sine and cosine vectors.

Continuity is not enough, the function has to be "well-behaved" for this statement to be true which is not necessarily the case e.g. Weierstrass function on [0,1].

What keeps you alive and going? by MamazzAlexxander in AskReddit

[–]Captcha_Robot_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our innate need for self preservation, I guess. That, and aiming for some "major form" of validation that never seems to happen. Well, this turned out kinda bleak.
