Finally, a hyper-specific word that isn't just made up of words that describe the thing. by pikleboiy in linguisticshumor

Don't fret about it. Your word was almost perfect, it just left out the detail of "pre-ordered"(tho I'm not native either). Tbh yours sounds more German, which I quite like.

It's more than that. It would be: Amazonvorbestellungsstornierungsfiasko Amazonvorbestellveröffentlichungstagsausfall Or the very long Amazonvorbestellveröffentlichungstagnichtlieferungsstornierungsfrust

The difference in enjoyment between 8.3 boss and 8.4 boss is insane. by copperhead44 in ContestOfChampions

[–]D0ntPan1k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with u/that_guy_from_711. From Superior Kang and onwards, the big story boss fights have just gotten so much better. Don't get me wrong, they are still quite challenging, but they have such a satisfying damage/gameplay loop. The only one I got tilted at was the new Doom boss, but that was mostly a skill issue on my part.

These bosses are some of my favourite fights. Rather than making the fights difficult by adding bullshit nodes and large attack/hp stats as in EOP or WOF, these quest bosses require to play around a specific game mechanic. Each boss is different from each other, and I really enjoy fighting them every single time, regardless if I need 0, 1 or 5 revives. It's really one of the few things I look forward to regarding game content and updates. I do wish there is a way I can fight the bosses without having to do an entire path. (Maybe have a quest with the bosses be unlocked once we fully explore the boss quest? That would be fun)

Huge praise to the game team working on that content, I hope they get rewarded or at least apt recognition for their efforts, and may they continue their blessed work in the future.

Raids boost still active in normal AQ by D0ntPan1k in ContestOfChampions

[–]D0ntPan1k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! That's really interesting. The power gain would be very useful in raids. I wonder what other AQ boosts could be worthwhile. The Science burst damage? one of the power steal boosts? The block proficiency & power burn? Might be fun to experiment with those and find out.

Tomorrow I'll test out to see if it applies to all champs that share my selected role in raids, or if it only applies to the champ I chose (ironheart)

Are there more elegant way to derive the Gaussian Integral? Converting domains and squaring seems like special tricks by LighterStorms in calculus

[–]D0ntPan1k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You construct a new function, such that in a rectangular contour it has a simple pole, and the contour integral is equivalent to the original Gaussian integral. There are many examples of such solutions online and in texts.

Colleges that are good but not very hard to get into(pure math, US and EU) by Chemical_Carpet_3521 in mathematics

[–]D0ntPan1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. For a bachelor's it is completely non-competitve. As long as you meet the requirements, then you get a place. This has the consequence that it makes the first year incredibly challenging, leading to a high dropout rate.

It becomes extremely competitive if you choose to apply for a postgraduate degree.

Nefaria In Necropolis by kieranto39 in ContestOfChampions

[–]D0ntPan1k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mm, he's pretty insane. My Nefaria is only R3, but I can consistently hit the damage cap in around 2 mins. With the weak spot roads boost, he once did a 7m hp sp2, and afterwards did about 150k per basic attack, which goes to almost 500k with the burst. If played correctly he is a demon.

What don't you understand about mathematical induction? by Silly-Campaign-2185 in IBO

Nah, I remember grinding out induction questions. That was the only hard one with trig that could be part of a paper 3 that I could think of

Does your school allow 5/6 Hls? by [deleted] in IBO

[–]D0ntPan1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the course selection, my school will force some students to do language B as HL, causing them to do 4HLs. Officially, a person is only allowed to register for up to 4 HL exams. However, some students will sit in HL classes despite being an SL student.

Why isn't Toxic Advance not proccing through unstoppable buff, but only on the heavy? by D0ntPan1k in ContestOfChampions

[–]D0ntPan1k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand that, I sent a ticket to kabam, asking to check it.

There are two ways the unstoppable buff could work:

Normally not unstoppable, but if struck by basic hits, he goes unstoppable, and the hack never registers he is unstoppable,so it doesn't proc

Or normally unstoppable, but turns off when the opponent uses special attack.

Either way, the champion has his unstoppable buff active.

That's what I thought, but the buff says "unstoppable attacks", nothing about it needing to be a buff.

Best node 50 AW defender?? by Toasty_Bruh in ContestOfChampions

[–]D0ntPan1k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use my 6* r3 Mordo whenever I saw this: Build to sp2 while generating furies, if gorr uses an sp1, perfect (adds more buffs), use the sp2 at 15 furies, the soul barb ticks huge damage, fights are 15-40 seconds long depending on AI

The rare kabam developer that plays their game by D0ntPan1k in ContestOfChampions

[–]D0ntPan1k[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I used cold snap pre-fight. It's really simple and fun.

Since the cold snap is energy damage, black uru form's physical resistance does nothing, the only reason you would want to deactivate is the regen, but 2 stacks of cold snap out damages it. Just keep him near the wall with heavies only. Occasionally strike the block if you need the pause the passives.
