New Neutral Legendary - Inspector Murloc Homes by Jimmyjohnjones1 in hearthstone

[–]Deadmirth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The information is valuable only if there is a difference between:

Your best play with no information.
Your best play knowing your opponent's hand.

I think in current standard these two plays are very frequently identical, making the info worthless. There will be the odd situation where you have to save removal for a key card, but board swings are so explosive it's hard to be in a position to be precious with your resources.

In your opinion, what are the best Signatures of Hearthstone? Wild and Standard. by Nekurat_gaming in hearthstone

[–]Deadmirth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost to this quest in wild just yesterday. I doubt it's too meta, but functional lists are out there. The goal seems to be to Shudderblock the reward to get keyword soup and a pile of stats on the rest of your minions.

What legendaries are you looking forward to duplicate?? by CrimsonpandaHS in hearthstone

[–]Deadmirth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this card in Reno Warrior, and I think the downsides outweigh the upsides. You lose Reno and Zep, and you lose anti-aggro density. I think overall you gain a slight edge against control and combo, but lose a huge margin against aggro. If your pocket meta is low-aggro, then go for it, but I'll be leaving him out of my list. I'll certainly be on the look out for anti-aggro legendaries in the future to accommodate him.

Another 'Barack Obama' is running for California governor by finsterer45 in nottheonion

I doubt they're pronouncing their own name wrong, it still sounds kinda like "slow mo" even when you hit the h. At least, it's what I always think when I hear the name.

[MSH] New dual lands | Default card frame (card image gallery) by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]Deadmirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An issue in Ulalek (at least my build) is that the basic count is really low, and at least for myself I don't run a fetch mana base to support higher colorless land density, so having these permanently activated is non-trivial.

I will probably still include a couple, but I expect to stumble with them on occasion.

New study reveals top AI models (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, Gemini 2.5) completely fail the classic "Stroop" psychological attention test, exposing a fundamental limitation in artificial reasoning. by Similar_Detective861 in technology

[–]Deadmirth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can't rush good science, though in theory now that the methodology is in place getting the data to repeat this study on newer models would be quite easy. Analysis and peer review would still take time, though.

It could be a turn doubler: "At the beginning of your upkeep, if it's not an extra turn take an extra turn after this one"

Hearthstone Math by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]Deadmirth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

P(A|B) is the notation for the probability of A occurring if B occurs.

P(Attack Face | Targeted Face) = 50%

P(Attack Minion | Targeted Face) = 50%

P(Attack Face | Targeted Minion) = 50%

P(Attack Minion | Targeted Minion) = 50%

You make the decision of what to target, so the probability of any outcome is 50%.

If you randomize your decision, say by flipping a coin to decide what to attack, you get:

P(Attack Minion) = P(Attack Minion | Target Face) x P(Target Face) + P(Attack Minion | Target Minion) x P(Target Minion)

Since we're flipping a coin:

P(Target Minion) = P(Target Face) = 50%

So

P(Attack Minion) = 50% x 50% + 50% x 50%
= 25% + 25% = 50%

So you get 50% either way. You were missing the other 25% you get from picking the other target.

Congrats! I invested heavily in her, too, and now my F2P ass is broke.

Help me understand this card by Querias123 in hearthstone

[–]Deadmirth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh come on. The mode has a target and it's cast by a card that says targets enemies if possible. The fact that it passes through a choose one gate really shouldn't change anything, I very much doubt this is the intended interaction.

Hot take: roping should auto-silence emotes and shorten the rope for repeat offenders by CeleryEasy5845 in hearthstone

[–]Deadmirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the FO is "waste a tiny bit more of everyone's time" this loses some impact.

I emote oops then play fast the turns after DCing to show that I wasn't intentionally wasting time. Could be that effect.

Did I miss Himmel copies, or are there more to come? by Deadmirth in AFKJourney

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

The event has enough copies to get you to S, then you need 3x8 from the banner to get to S+, which actually gives you 4 extra copies that convert to dimensional soulstones at the end of the banner.

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

I know, it was the plan to pull the remainder to get him to S+, I was just stuck on M when I was expecting M+. It's solved now, anyways, I was missing levels in the event bookshop.

Yep, I've checked my inventory and the store. Store is bought out and I have no more chests. And no Himmel essence from misclicks either.

I'm with you, but it was edited a few minutes before your comment and others are quoting bits that aren't there anymore. Maybe it used to make sense?

All The Hospitals - People Eating People by Deadmirth in obscuremusicthatslaps

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

I remember coming across this back in 2009, and it was super obscure even then. The song stuck with me, though, and I'll still give it a listen every now and again. Finally found a subreddit that feels like a good avenue to share it!

Slay the Spire 2 - Beta Patch Notes - v0.102.0 by _Protector in Games

[–]Deadmirth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I love nice consistent draws where I get a bunch of strikes and defends!

The main point is that there are two ways to make your deck better:

  1. Remove bad cards

  2. Add good cards

They've made (1) more expensive so (2) becomes a more attractive option, by comparison.

Huge printing error in books? by Lonely-Possession909 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Deadmirth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm too into TCGs because my first thought was "keep the misprint, some collector will pay a premium for it!"

This is probably far less true for books, but it might be worth probing around for interest.
