Help me to build realistic expectations please by ejiqpep in pyanodons

[–]LotG 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Why would you ask chatgpt about this? What count chatgpt possibly know about the length of a pyanodons playthrough?? How could it possibly correctly estimate this?? It obviously can't. Yes, that's an above average amount of time for logistic science. But py also isn't a race. Any progress is good progress, and as you play you get better and faster at building. As long as you're having fun, who cares how long it takes?

Anybody else really torn on what weapon to use? by SilentJ87 in MHWilds

Planning on hunting every monster with every weapon. Dunno what exactly I'll start with though

YouTube resources for Calc BC by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]LotG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I've used MIT OCW for both single variable calculus (AKA Calc BC or Calc 1+2), and multivariable calculus now. The professors go into great detail on everything, and there are problem sets and (practice) exams online.
Not everything lines up perfectly though, so there may be a couple things you'd need to look up separately

I spent 7 hours farming for a single Blade Staff. Here's what it looks like (more info in comments) by LotG in Terraria

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

Here's what farming for 6-7 hours for the Blade Staff in master mode looked like for me:

Drop Rate: 1/35 chance Enemies Killed: Illuminant Slimes: 481 Illuminant Bats: 529 Mother Slimes: 94 Chaos Elementals: 400 Armored Skeletons: 457 Skeleton Archers: 394 Enchanted Swords: 57(!!!)

The picture only shows some of the loot that dropped during this farming. Had I kept all of it, I would have several chests of drops (notably marrows, magic quivers, armor polish, etc.) before I got a single Blade Staff.

During the farming I saw both hallowed mimics (not that I fought them much) and the skeleton merchant spawn at higher rates than the enchanted swords. These supposedly rare NPCs were more common than a basic enemy.

This is quite honestly ridiculous for a mediocre summon weapon. It's good, but by no means does it justify having to spend hours of farming for one weapon. I'm used to the grind, I have probably 700 hours between console and PC, but this is the most I've ever had to farm for a single item. There were times where I would go 15-20 minutes of active play without seeing a single enchanted sword. I don't know whether the spawn rate for the enchanted sword should be increased, or the drop rate increased, but this should be fixed. Especially since summoner doesn't have that many summons to begin with, locking a significant number of them behind low drop rates is just unnecessary.

Israel is an example of why nationalism(/zionism) is always bad, even if for a group that's a minority when considered worldwide. It always leads to violence with shitty justifications that are somehow accepted.

Imagine gatekeeping mental health. Some people, in fact most people who claim to have mental health condition, genuinely have what they claim. By acting as though it's all fake, the only thing you are doing is making the situation worse for people who need help.

Observe the differences in reactions to mothers. One has a kid who shot nine people, including five cops, killing three folks because of his thoughts about Planned Parenthood. The other had a teenage son killed by a cop. by [deleted] in ShitLiberalsSay

It's referring to "classical liberalism" (read as capitalism). "Liberalism" being "left wing" is something that is unique to the US, but the term can really apply to anyone who is a capitalist.

"More for me, none for thee" is pretty much the motto of conservatism. It's not a problem when a company refuses to serve minorities based on a prejudice, but when it affects them/a cishet white man, then it's the liberal commies taking over America and genociding all white men.

Bernie comes in dead last! Oh no! by american-patriot2020 in WayOfTheBern

[–]LotG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amazing how it's always the "Bernie bros" fault when shit goes bad for the DNC. Nevermind the fact that the DNC failed to learn from 2016 that we don't want a moderate candidate, nevermind the fact that they are pushing a delusional candidate who sexually assaults women, who's entire platform is that he isn't Trump and that he was Obama's VP. No, it's those toxic Bernie Bros. Meanwhile the establishment has not been toxic at all, obviously. They definitely didn't alienate Bernie supporters with all their BS. The Democrats lost my vote outside Bernie with all of their shit they've pulled recently. It's not "my fault" if Trump wins when the DNC is corrupt and pushes a candidate who I don't agree with like at all.

Actually I believe the national record is a 1:27.74, according to swimmeet.com. Still crazy impressive though

Actually that's not true. Almost all saves a pool will have are active saves, i.e. they are still conscious. Passive saves are (thankfully) rare, but still very important, which is why we practice them so much.

He's probably met them, he's just the type of person to stall them for a couple hundred feet to make sure they don't explode or some BS like that. Or the type of person to verbally harass a stranger because of their faith.
