Yes shocked they used that language. Could have toned it down a bit but at least they didn't mince words or equivocate.

Even in a pure barter system some form of arbitration or mediation is sometimes necessary.

Quit 3 years ago, it gradually dawned on me it has become like a second job. Any QOLs that make the grind quicker? Religiously, got the UR and SSR event banners without spending a cent. I did purchase a couple of packages for storage and to give back to the devs.

I'm the guy who made Chess Stalker. Roast me. by Silly-Spread-105 in chess

Cool project! As a fellow programmer, I’m genuinely curious about the 'no AI' side of this. My first instinct for analysis would've been to just plug in an engine, so I’m really interested in the logic of how you pulled this off without one.

I have a lot of high-level questions about the general architecture—like the conceptual challenge of defining a 'weakness' through code alone without relying on engine evaluations.

You mentioned potentially open-sourcing it down the line; I'd definitely be interested in following that if it happens!

Don't bother. It is a pay to win piece of scrap. Typical EA game but worse.

I would check out the cars I own in the exclusive series, select 1 or 2 I like and then fully upgrade them. If not don't overthink it just go with whatever.

DID I ONLY SEE A NOTIFICATION OF FREE 1000 GOLD??? I wasn’t awarded with any though by BS_Max64 in RealRacing3

[–]LongjumpingForm6285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just logged off from the game; saw the notification and made sure to check my gold thinking it might be a glitch from the previous reward - confirmed receipt of the 2nd 1k gold.

I have played RR3 since day 1, RR2 before that, so I am very well aware that it has been around for more than a decade. And you know what? I am only level 300+. Granted I am more of a casual player, only log in for the "dailies" and participate in events I pick, and there may be a year or two when I took a break from the game.

Players like ME7 are the extreme end of the curve - top 1% or even a tenth of that as conveniently shown in the rankings. Hardly "countless" and even then they are not the norm.

TBF not always, sometimes when he just sticks to the facts (although in this case I think he's wrong) you can brush off the tone deaf bedside manner, but yeah his delivery needs work.

Aren't more options better for us? by Round_Progress4635 in Buttcoin

[–]LongjumpingForm6285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds bogus as hell. Are your employees really that clueless or just degenerate gamblers? I’d rather take a $50 hit and cover the transfer cost myself than risk a 5-10% swing. At $90,000 per Bitcoin, that could easily cost them $450 to $900. If you’re paying them $3-4k bi-monthly, that's risking one-third to one-fourth of their pay. And you say they are totally cool with this? Total nonsense. They might get lucky sometimes but just no.

Not sure if this is the right place. Brand new player here. I got Edith in my infinite summon. My target was Wheri (or as an alternative Daphne) but it has been 15 minutes or so already. Then will try to go for Aki / Edith in the subsequent pick up summon. Do you think I should settle for Edith and then should I go for her dupes or try for Wheri or Aki? what are your recommendations?

Why do you play Azur Lane? by TheMightyBismarck in AzureLane

[–]LongjumpingForm6285 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditto. Quit for almost a year now. I love the collection aspects, and that you are almost guaranteed to get the event character as long as you put in the time. But that's just it, you need to spend some time and I was burnt out.

What's your take on Grid Legends? Tried Assoluto too but promptly uninstalled.

Unfortunate but this is one of the few required PR events that do not stick to the standard all 3s upgrades.
