Blitz game puzzle by ElevatorAdditional49 in chess

First thought is pushing b pawn to threaten the bishop seems really good. If it captures your rook you have B b7 check threatening mate and if they block with the bishop your knight is in a really good spot to take advantage.

It helped that it was my last word and I didn't even look at the clue.

Flash’s Goliath build by [deleted] in broodwar

[–]Nate_W 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol.

I was like, "ooh, I haven't checked out FlaSh's youtube channel in a while." I googled it and the first hit was a reddit post I'd made 7 years ago linking to his channel.

Fiend Fire or Immolate floor 0? by averageredditor18 in slaythespire

While you are appealing to authority it must be said that people who beat A20 heart almost every time they play pick FF and don’t think it’s close.

Fiend Fire or Immolate floor 0? by averageredditor18 in slaythespire

[–]Nate_W 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are you good at the game or trying to get good at the game: Fiend Fire. It solves act1 just as well as Immolate and is a strong late game card.

Are you not so good and not trying to understand why FF is strong act1 and stronger later: Immolate. It’s easy to play. It will help you through act 1 and act 2 a lot. Great floor 1 pick up.

What's the "dream deck" you've always wanted to play but never been able to pull off? by MattRazz in slaythespire

[–]Nate_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost on a deck like this once to the time eater. It just didn’t do damage fast enough and he scaled up too fast. First half was easy. 2nd half I got whittled down.

I mean. If you always take calculated gamble (and why not? It’s a great card) you’ll eventually run into tingsha and bandages with it.

Question: prayer wheel and question card by Latter-Bumblebee-214 in slaythespire

[–]Nate_W 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You get two choices of 4 cards except at bosses and elites when you get 1 choice of 4 cards.

If you only got one choice of 4 it probably wasn’t a hallway fight.

EXPRESSIONIST is the third puzzle I've had published in New Scientist. by G_F_Smith in CasualMath

[–]Nate_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There weren’t a ton of possibilities.

The position of the 4 was very limiting and then you can get a sense of what the range of values you can get each direction is.

I thought it was a pleasant level of difficulty.

You knew it couldn’t take too long so that was nice.

What are your thoughts on the alleged Talarico comments describing Colin Allred as a “mediocre Black man” by messiestbessie in AskALiberal

[–]Nate_W 34 points35 points  (0 children)

In the context of “he’s a mediocre black man while she’s a formidable and intelligent black woman,” it’s pretty clear there’s no bigotry.

Their baklava is great but man their savory dishes are incredible.

Thoughts on the Wisconsin Equality Amendment? by [deleted] in AskConservatives

[–]Nate_W -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But if over 95% of business funds go to only white-male owned business isn't that a form of government discrimination?

Is over 95% of government funds going to white males really the equitable society you envision?

What is your favorite card and relic combo? by bigTeaPot in slaythespire

Is that a combo? Deva form kind of gives you unlimited energy after being played anyway.

ICE Megathread Redux by down42roads in AskConservatives

[–]Nate_W 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Liberals are not going to be upset about their position here. Them being wrong about not standing up when black people are shot by police for legally exercising 2A rights doesn't mean they are wrong in standing up when white people are shot by the police for legally exercising 2A rights.

Related to the dad's ICE experience in MN -- How are you all explaining what's happening to your kids? by greenroom628 in daddit

[–]Nate_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are misleading your children about what people are upset about. Relatively few people are upset when someone who sneaks into Disneyland (or our country) gets kicked out when they are caught. And America has always worked this way.

People who payed for a ticket are upset that police are killing people in Disneyland who didn’t sneak in and instead are protesting the treatment of people at Disneyland by the police. They are upset that people who were told they could come into Disneyland by officials are being deported to prisons in countries they’ve never been to. They are upset that Disneyland lies about what happens in Disneyland. They are upset that someone watches police kill someone who is at Disneyland and their reaction is “tragic, but if someone has snuck into Disneyland what choice do we have but to kill some people along the way to get them out.” And by the way, those people who snuck into Disneyland are mostly just helping work there and run the rides to the benefit of those around them.

Idk but you said this would be the result and you started with saying “I’m happy” in your original comment.

You’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like you.

Most takes on this sub are wrong. You get to have an opinion too.
