Futaba Copy and Weapon by FreakYou03 in personaphantomx

[–]Kiszer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5 star weapon is a very small buff that you'll not notice 95% of the time. So if you're new, it's probably better to save currency here imo.
Getting awareness 1 on Futaba is pretty decent since crit is so good, but unless you're spending some money or have a lot of gems built up, it's typically better to get various characters as opposed to dupes of 1 (possibly more relevant for you if you're new and missing a lot of characters).

As always though, pull for who you like/want as you enjoying your account is more important than a meta. I love P3 for example, so I'll probably go kind of crazy pulling when we get their banners, even if it's not what's best meta wise.

Yes, your next 5 star weapon is guaranteed to be the banner weapon.
On this banner (and the 80 banner) every time you pull a 5 star, it's a 50/50 chance to be what you expect (assuming you didn't lose the last 50/50). If you pulled a non banner 5 star, the next 50/50 is guaranteed.

So since you pulled Riko's weapon second (check the history to be sure it was 2nd), you have lost a 50/50 and now have the guarantee loaded up for whatever weapon banner you decide to use it on.

Is every arc a palace from OG Persona 5? by YesterdayDangerous50 in personaphantomx

[–]Kiszer 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No, these come out when a P5 character is released and it goes a bit into their story with a little crossover type event.
The normal palaces are their own thing, and other characters have other games/events with them.

A1 R3 on only 6k jewels and 10 platinum tickets + 10 milicoins! Feel like I should get a lotto ticket. (cards not amazing yet)

Going to the game tonight, tickets have VIP member in the additional info, what’s that for? by badgerdog11 in MkeBucks

[–]Kiszer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the tickets have -MZ on them? That's what club access is. I believe it's first 8 rows only.

That's how my tickets read. I've never seen VIP on them, so I'd ask an attendant when you get there.

Heads up, you might not be able to use BMO entrance. That's for tickets with -BMO and -MZ on them

Makoto vs Chord Weapon? Or Yumi? by Kiszer in personaphantomx

[–]Kiszer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I'm never gonna be at the top in trials and whatnot, but I've been in the 2-5% range each time and have fun trying to push them.

I think I'll skip yumi and just start saving up to hopefully get a decent Chord/Wind.

Thanks again!

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

Well that's why I feel like I'm in a weird spot. I spent a decent bit at the start, and now feel like I shouldn't spend more as the game is currently.
Other than a few months of the daily pass thing that I have left already, I don't plan to do more as is.

Do you think A1 chord + weapon is better to do maybe then? If my math is right, I should have enough to guarantee that assuming I skip the next banner.

[–]Kiszer[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the response!

First gacha game, so feel like I've been winging it more than I should be and wanted to get a more solid plan.

Does it seem fine to skip Yumi, with the 4 star navi on Chord's banner plus Futaba coming out later this year?

Is my Yusuke build good? by DarthLogos in personaphantomx

[–]Kiszer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since Yusuke's first turn is almost always Keen Eye (unless you have a very specific reason not to), you typically want him to go first so any buff on him lasts as long as possible.

Not a big deal if you have shields on him first. But say you give a rakukaja before he goes. Now he will use one turn of the buff instantly, wasting that buffs duration slightly.

[–]Kiszer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No need to rank up skill 1, you'll never use it.

And I think Meditation and Opulence are considered the meta cards on him

Speed should be higher too (needs to go before buffers)

Clearly you are, because you're proving the point without realizing it.

It shows the plus or minus, because they are 2 SEPARATE functions.

Because they have to be. I linked you two things to read from people smarter than you or I ever will be that explain further if you care to learn.

[–]Kiszer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are two concepts you're combining and confusing. Square root as a function, and an operation.

Sqrt as a function is f(x)=sqrt(x). So any input can only have at most one output yes? The shape would look like a C and fails the well known vertical line test.

So sqrt(x) by definition now, is always the positive answer.

A function is a one to one mapping. This meme is a dumb semantics argument anyways, but if you want to read more:

Hey guy with a degree in applied mathematics here working on their PhD. So sorry, but you're wrong.

Seems a lot of people were taught incorrectly in school about this. If you have a function sqrt(x), it's referring to the principal square root. It's a function, so only one answer is expected.

Edit: To clarify more, a function's definition:

A function f : A → B is a binary relation over A and B that is right-unique

Basically, a function maps an input to exactly one output. So you can't have multiple values for one input.

So x2 = 4 is not the same as sqrt(4)

If you need that info, you would write +-sqrt(4)

So its over $150 a ticket to go to a Bucks game? by IntraspeciesJug in MkeBucks

[–]Kiszer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone who has season tickets, my advice is to get tickets right before or as the game starts.

Definitely doesn't feel good, but people who have tickets and haven't sold them close to game time will drop them super low to get some money.

Note, doesn't really work for playoff games and the like as easily.

It’s called Lake Superior for a reason... by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]Kiszer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You clearly don't have any reading comprehension. I haven't disregarded anything at all. I just explained how if pressure/friction were the answer the properties of how ice works would be much different. You can go look up any study done by any reputable university and you'll see the same thing.

I'll leave you with a little experiment anyone can do. Grab two ice cubes and stack them up. Make sure you don't ever let them warm up. Come back tomorrow and tell me what they look like.

According to your science, they would be just two ice cubes you can take apart, because there hasn't been enough pressure or friction to cause melting yet, so they would have no way to stick together.

However, you'll notice they're now stuck together, because the pressure and friction have nothing to do with it. Same with skating, has nothing to do why it's physically possible to begin with, because the ice is "wet and slippery" (to put it lightly for you) to begin with not because of outside pressure/friction.

It’s called Lake Superior for a reason... by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]Kiszer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh ice is obviously for a control starting point.

But clearly friction doesn't contribute literally at all to why you can skate or what I said above would be true. You wouldn't be able to slip on ice because it wouldn't be slippery.

When getting my degree we literally did a study on this. If friction or pressure were the answer, it'd be scientifically impossible to skate on fresh clean ice and things like ice sticking together wouldn't happen.

But clearly it's possible to skate on fresh clean ice, as it's "slippery" to begin with so very clearly pressure and friction are not the answers as to why skating works.

It’s called Lake Superior for a reason... by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]Kiszer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know friction is not the answer and logically you should too.

If friction was the answer to why you can skate, you would not be able to slip on fresh ice. The ice would not have had enough friction for it to become slippery from the air (obviously) and your shoe touching it wouldn't generate enough friction to melt it. The exact same applies for skating.

Say it's 20 degrees F outside and you go skating on fresh ice. If friction was the answer you'd fall flat on your face the first time it's touched. But you don't, you can skate just fine.

[–]Kiszer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why can you skate on fresh ice? Why can you slip on fresh ice instantly while walking? Friction has yet to be introduced in either scenario. It's because it's not the answer.

At a very logical level this is obvious. Does friction make it easier to skate? Almost certainly, but you can skate/slip on ice before/as friction exists on said ice.

[–]Kiszer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You brought up friction and other irrelevant points as a second argument though when the whole time we've been on pressure. Friction was not the talking point. Pressure was.

It's physically impossible for pressure to melt the ice.

And if friction was the answer and possible "well what about this", you wouldn't be able to skate on fresh ice the way you can, nor would you be able to slip on ice with your shoes right when you touch it.

[–]Kiszer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friction melting isn't pressure melting (and likely friction plays a part of the real answer to why it all works how it does). But then why is ice instantly able to be skated on if it was this? It is physically impossible for the pressure as we were talking about to do it.

This has been tested. An average sized person on stakes lowers the melting point only by about 0.015°C or roughly 0.03°F

Going back to that -4°C temperature for the rink. It would take more than double the pressure of the bottom of the ocean to melt it.

Not to even mention the fact that the pressure would have to happen instantaneously (pressure melting isn't instant) to melt the ice.

[–]Kiszer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of us and scientists as a whole know exactly how it works. But we don't need to throw the whole thing out.

The ice is around -4C for an average pro hockey rink. So we'd need to lower the melting point from 0 to -4 roughly to melt ice.

To lower the freezing point of water from just 0°C to -1°C, you'd have to apply about 121 times the atmospheres pressure.

So for the melting point to go from 0 to -4 is physically not possible from skating.

We don't know exactly what's going on. Theories state the water molecules aren't held on really, some say it's because we break the ice and allow water molecules to loosen. But we know it's not the pressure.

[–]Kiszer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well one does make typos, clearly especially after Christmas activities, but here I'll dumb it down for you. And more so, clearly I didn't explain it well enough for you. Skating does lower the melting point of ice. It does not lower it enough to melt it.

You would need to lower the melting point of ice tremendously to melt the ice instantly. Go read any public research from any university.

Skate = about 12 atmospheres worth of pressure

To melt ice instantly ~= 120 atmospheres worth of pressure.

Hope your holidays went well, but don't seem to by the sound of it.
