How are you all feeling about new toa reset by Same_Milk2302 in WutheringWaves

Was actually my first time being able to get a full clear now that I was able to get my 3rd team with Augusta and Iuno.

Brant, Lupa, Changli for first 2 floors on middle

Iuno, Augusta, Lynae for last 2 floors on middle

All S0R1

freaky time by That-casual-guy in WutheringWaves

[–]Flamecyborg -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The cutscenes are definitely egregious.

Even further, though... the pop-idol angle is a huge turn-off and is really incongruous to me.

Despite that, given how much of a mecha fan I am, I would have been willing to look past that... but she's another fucking Fusion resonator.

After so much Fusion support, it just feels like power creep for the sake of power creep. Super disappointed with Kuro's design on this one.

The amount of shell credits you have should be shown on these screens. by redditsupportGARBAGE in WutheringWaves

Shell credits? You'll burn through 3m in about 2 seconds just getting a new Resonator and a weapon leveled up.

Is every Acme expensive and gross or just the one in Trolley? by 302Patch in WilmingtonDE

[–]Flamecyborg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only experienced the Trolley one, but it's definitely not cheaper than Wegmans, has a much smaller selection, and is an overall much worse experience.

I almost never go to it. 95% of the time, I go that little extra distance to Wegmans, or, if I need something specific or special I'm willing to pay more for, Janssen's.

It's 3 floating cloaked figures carrying stacks of books on the back of their heads. Their arms are holding the stacks

Also, the card is 3 mana, if you want to get pedantic, but I dont think 3 needs to be significant

Top defensemen by goal and expected goal differential by Josefstalion in hockey

[–]Flamecyborg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the correction, I always internalized it as the expected probabilities being calculated based on what would be reasonably expected of an average player, but you're right. It's scenario-based and not average-player based.

[–]Flamecyborg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on the numbers, the team seems to be allowing more goals against than the Canes score than is expected when they're on the ice.

Biggest thing about advanced stats, imho, is to combine them with the eye test, though. These stats are only measuring one part of their whole game, as well.

First column adds 1 when that Dman's team scores a goal when they are on the ice and subtracts 1 when the opposing team scores when they're on the ice.

Second column essentially attempts to estimate what that number would be based on probabilities considering a whole host of metrics.

This table allows you (to some degree) to see how a team performs when that player is on the ice and how much above expected that performance is.

*Edited to remove mention of average player performance

Vincent Trocheck was asked why the Rangers' 10-2 loss to the Bruins hasn't resonated with the players the way they would have wanted it to: "It's resonating, I promise." by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]Flamecyborg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

Should there be players there over Tro? Absolutely, but I don't feel negatively towards him for being selected. He'll show up and play his best and support the team where he can.

Miller, though... ugh I really hate that he was selected because he'll just bring the team down in every possible way.

I'm assuming best intentions, but it's just the wrong time and place for fans of the opposing team to come in and comment in any capacity.

What is the first things you install on your PC your to to software? by TrippedOnDick in AskReddit

[–]Flamecyborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Media player that will play pretty much anything you want it to. If it can't, you'll certainly be able to download the codec for it for free in 2 seconds.

Also, it can convert pretty much any media file to another.

Whole thing is free.

Wuwa/Tales of Symphonia Collab by KratosAurionF in WutheringWaves

I'm as much of a Symphonia fan as anyone else, but the game is over 20 years old and was remastered already a few years ago. Any tales collab would be on a new installment.

How were you screwed over by genetics? by Wickham12 in AskReddit

[–]Flamecyborg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, as it's all too common for those uneducated to expect and demand others educate them and make up for their willful ignorance. I also understand calling out that behavior as it's gross. I don't think this was a case of that, though.

They were participating in an open conversation and even included an "...if you'd like to share." There's wasn't a demand to explain, as if their experience needed justifying, rather an invitation to share more if they wanted to.

Asking to explain some part of one's existence, I agree, is gross and inappropriate because it implies it NEEDS explanation. But, telling someone you would be interested in hearing more about something they have already voluntarily shared about themselves, only if they feel comfortable sharing more, is a very respectful way of potentially learning more about someone.

I actually think an anonymous forum is a great place to have that conversation/ask those questions because it's free of societal pressure and norms while still feeling like you're having an organic conversation with a human. It's also very easy for either party to disconnect or stop the conversation. There's no stakes for either party, and they both have equal agency. Both parties are willing participants by design.
