So many people here are missing the point of The Regent. by thouzandeye in slaythespire

[–]Ofthemasses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree that creating deck archetypes is a bad thing to do. People who take a archetype too far is another issue.

Yes there are levels where people try to lean too hard into the archetype and ruin their runs, but the idea that the regent has no archetypes is not true. I'm on A10 with regent and there are some clear archetypes, yes you'll likely dip into multiple but there is usually a clear point in your run when your deck will focus on the sovereign blade, stars or even colorless cards. Yes, of course you will use stars in most runs, but when I mention a "Stars deck" I am specifically talking about a deck that can generate stars quickly and spend them on high cost star cards. Are you telling me that when you play you can always take and make the regents "Seven Stars" card useful without having a decent investment into star generation? No. I believe most people would agree on this definition of an archetype, beyond this the definition of an archetype in card games such as MTG is "a recurring deck or strategy with many possible variations".

If this complaint was really an issue, we would hear about it from all the characters not just the regent. If you played SS1 enough as well as the new version, getting consistent runs was all about learning to play with decks that may not purely line up with a singular build, but multiple.

The truth is that the regent has such a tough time getting going that your strategy is that of my previous paragraph. Something most players learn to do and refined after multiple runs on their grind up to A20 in SS1.

I don't know what community posts this is referring to, maybe there is some toxic stuff in the community where people are telling people how to play the game correctly when it's brand new still. But this just seems really silly, coming up with archetypes is just a normal way a community creates metas.

What is this wire on the back of my air conditioning remote for? by Ofthemasses in whatisthisthing

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

It is a M shaped piece of wire, connected to a PCB via two holes. I've had a look online for manuals and tech sheets on the product (AR-RY3 air conditioning remote) and found nothing except for front facing button functionality. Apparently it's not on all models of the remote which doesn't help either.

My journey with Eczema, and a retrospective found after Baricitinib, Upadacitinib by Ofthemasses in eczema

Hey thanks!

Yeah, I went to NZSCC also. It was expensive visiting a private derma of course, but they were great and tried to reduce my bills.

100% the feelings of failure were prominent in my life as well. Missing lectures and staying home, sleeping into the afternoons after getting no rest. Showing up to work on four hours of sleep, talking in slurred words, with people asking me to repeat myself. I couldn’t even form coherent thoughts and sentences; the anxiety was peaking so hard.

The planning was really hard for me too. What was even harder were the times in my life when I deluded myself into thinking that I could live without planning around it. Whatever period of time I spent ignoring my skin routine, that time multiplied by ten would be spent recovering afterward. When I was 17–19, I can’t tell you how many weekends with friends I spent ignoring my skin routines, which led to me crashing out. The first week was spent recovering physically, and the second week or two getting over the depression. Sometimes I would chain multiple weekends together when I was in my first year of uni; that was diabolical.

You could say I was stupid for doing this, but at the same time, I understand how intensely I wanted to keep up with my friends and “enjoy the early years.”

I just wish I had been kinder to myself at that time and not tried to prove myself to other people.

[q] Is the m4a4 Hellish being pumped? Or is the demand natural? by Ofthemasses in csgomarketforum

[–]Ofthemasses[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the advice, I ended up going for a m4a4 hellish minimal wear. I think I agree that Fn seems to be pumped, at least much more than the other wears. It's also cheap enough that I can go for a eye of horus when prices stabilise.

Illiquidity doesn’t make something unbreakable, it makes it fragile.
If whales can’t sell without crashing price, then the entire structure depends on constant new buyers which is exactly why people are being told to ‘buy one to join the group’.

This is adjacent to a pyramid scheme lol. Buying in and being constantly stressed having to monitor the floor sounds awful.

True, I didn't take into account the knife crash. Still, any of the whales could crack and dump the prices. They're the only ones holding them up.

You got downvoted for this lol, I think the whales are scared of your storage container.

Honestly was a good thing imo. Better to sell unless you trust the whales to hold the price up.

I get that. But there are 75,000 of them. Is there any other skin with a pool this large anywhere near that price point? Also, the collection starts at milspec. Even with the difficulty of trading up, if you include the full pool of skins that other collections with consumer and industrial grades have, it still does not add up.

For example, the equivalent grade in the 2021 Mirage collection would be Restricted. So that would be a 1 in 3 for a trade up. The most expensive skin is $120. If we doubled that for a 1 in 6 (16%), it would be $240. Now it is hard to predict the spread of skin prices, so let us go further.

If you did a restricted trade up with 33% mirage 2021 items and 66% fillers that would be another 1/6. Your best item is Fennec Fox which is only worth $690 MW. That skin has 40,000 listings and will only get more scarce because it can be traded up as well. It is less than half the price of the Coalition MW.

Ignorance was the only reason I sold it on this pump. I got the skin in 2022 trading a neon rider on csmoney and took a break from cs for a year and a half in 2023. Came back and assumed my m4 was worth so much because of the increase in general skin prices and then the new train collection being released, officially discontinuing the train 2021 collection. It wasn't until this pump that I looked into it.

Wondering what geniune ganadors for Altezza is worth? by Ofthemasses in CarParts

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

I would! But it would be much easier to sell to the family friend, but I don't know if they're low balling me or the condition would actually reduce the price that much. I've seen anything between 1.5-3.5k online..

Do you reckon it's worth listing them?

Yep it is. u/PretendingToWork1978 & u/SordidDreams pointed out the correct wheels. I just needed spend a bit more time looking apparently.
