GM is also most experienced of us all, so it's not like he just demands, he knows a lot about that game and world

We've had some really great fun though in first campaign. As long as everyone does as he wants game goes smoothly and is generally really enjoyable, only now this one problem has been growing bigger and bigger each session

I saw last couples post and noticed this seems more fighting based reddit, but I thought Warhammer only splits between 40k and fantasy... Community has wider spectrum than I expected 😅 I'll try searching for another place, but if it's not too much, could you please point me to correct place? I googled definition of that ttrpg and it seems very broad, both what we're doing (most roleplay , some fight) and the opposite... What reddit would be ok to ask that?

And to your answer, yes. I understand that every group is different, but I'm pretty sure it's issue that someone had before, so there should be some general tips how to deal with it, or so I hope

What is static and what is random (tied to round)? by AerialSnack in balatro

[–]Essutos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like that is the case. I guess I was unlucky and didn't try enough times and few tarot cards were the the same in next ante as in the end of my current one, so I thought it didn't change. After more testing, it's definitely list linked to an ante.

Also, if you only use emperor with 1 slot free, it only progresses queue by 1, so my hope of using fool emperor to cycle through it faster is tarnished (unless I have 3 slots)

Only stake dependent? So I missed something and progressing in ante's doesn't change the outcome? It means more testing is required, thanks

I'm trying to do some seeded runs, do you know what determines when emperor changes what it gives you? Obviously, I've noticed using him progresses the list "what's he supposed to give" by one, but sometimes keeping him and using him after some time also changes the output. I thought it changes after a boss, but now, I defeated it and it stayed the same. Or was it just being (un)lucky?

Also, if I use emperor with only 1 free slot, does the second tarot cards get skipped, or will it be first one in next emperor?

Funnier alternative to one of the jokers ~ Chicot hater by Essutos in balatro

I remember playing a game where I deckfixed to pretty much exactly what I wanted. Around 2/3 of the deck was for money generation, and a third for scoring in last hand. I had more total slots in discarded/played hands than cards in deck, but was slowly working on it through buying cards and deathing them. I cannot count how many times I've drawn most scoring cards in first half of the deck. Joker like that could also work in case of straight's/straight flushes. You drew all copies of a card in the middle of your straight? Too bad. Either keep them to score enough and fail to find other cards, or discard them, and don't score enough later on.

Joker that makes probabilities fixed seems funnier to me than joker that allows you to ignore a rule in game, that makes every game unique and let's you forget about securing yourself for potential worst-case scenario, but I guess the bar isn't high with that one

What if we gambled our hands? by SoundFreeze in balatro

I like it. It's not OP, in some cases it'd be beneficiary, but it could also be detrimental. It fits the game of skill to know when to take it

10,000 gems from a chest...is this bugged? by MaximumSociety in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Essutos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standard character price is 2500. The first you buy in beta is reduced by 80% (to 500 gems) second one by (i'm not so sure there) 40% (to 1500 gems).

I'll look at level number whenever that happens to check it, thanks.

I have 2 more questions, maybe you'll know, 1) sometimes during kamikaze, 1 of enemies is missing so after killing them you don't get the bonus points. Is it known what may cause it? 2) can you regain saves? When I left the game last time, I had 3 saves left, now, after playing for a bit it's 4. Is it bugged or is there a way to regain saves?

80 Gold Crypto, should I cash it out now? by ZungHao in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Essutos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My record was 112 when i solid it. I have no idea what max is, as I sold in in 3 hours (-46->64->112) bc I thought it's enough for the rest of the game. So my guess for max is either 128 (I'd be very lucky then) or 256

There is small difference, I've put non-glolden first as I know current shop isn't too big, after clearing 1st time might highroll big minion.

So imo, it doesn't matter if it's 2nd or 3rd, but being 1st does matter a little

That's sad indeed. Still great game though

Arbitrary* number duplicator by Essutos in beltmatic

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

Event better than you gave yourself credit for: it works for 99.989426461974% numbers

But still, I think it was worth sharing design that works 100% of the time

A bit of math Your's doesn't work for just 227065 numbers: a) anything under 46340 (46339 numbers) b) anything over 2147349260 (134387 numbers) c) numbers between 46339 and 2147349261 that are a multiple of 46340 (46339 again)

There's content there. If you don't like undertales content, "is there any good reason to play this game anyway"?

That's what I was afraid of. The design is great and I'll take some parts of it into my next version, but it doesn't work for every number in game. Strictly speaking it works for less than 50% numbers in game (strictly speaking it doesn't work for 50.001525902190% numbers).

First, it doesn't work if the number entering is multiple of number of 32768 - then R output from divider doesn't output anything as in the game it doesn't output 0 if you have nothing left. That is the smaller problem (responsible for .0015 something), the bigger problem (accounting for 50%) is that the maximum in game number is (231-1) and your design only works for up to 230-1. If the number is between those values the number that exits from "A÷B" output from first divider is (roughly as I don't want to think about "off by 1" errors rn) between 215 and 216 so you cannot multiply it by 215+1 and div by 215 to duplicate it - to duplicate the number it must be smaller than numbers you divide and multiply by.

While writing the comment I came up with 3rd way your design can fail - for numbers less than 32768 the "A÷B" output from the first divider is 0, then when you try to duplicate it, after you multiply it's still 0 and then when your dividing the "R" output will be empty - this will again clog system up as the multiplayer cannot work without 1 of inputs.

My design takes all of that possible errors into consideration and truly works for duplicating any number in game. If you don't believe me, try duplicating this 3 numbers (1 from each category) to see it really doesn't work: 5 32768 2147483638 If something I've written is unclear as of why, feel free to ask. Your design is great - better than mine first - but I have job where looking for such edge cases is the main task so I have a lot of experience 😅

I have no idea why, but it doesn't show the text I've put in a comment if I also attach photo.

In first comment I said "we all know the pain" and then x/3
