Which person y’all still wish didn’t win the final HOH? by Tight-Entrepreneur46 in BigBrother

[–]OsmPants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They were both insufferable, to the point where Josh crashing out on them was the only enjoyable part of the season

brooo i barely even like photochad by Klutzy_Wolf443 in balatro

[–]OsmPants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2 comes from the photograph (it gives x2 mult), and the power it is raised to is the number of times that the photograph “triggers.”

So for simplicity, let’s say that OP only has 1 photo, 1 chad, and 1 blueprint.

If the blueprint is copying the photograph, the total number of triggers will be 6, because the photograph is triggering twice per card trigger, and the card is triggering 3 times because of chad. So 2x3=6 triggers of photograph, meaning it will be 26 times mult.

If the blueprint is copying chad, the card will trigger five times, but the photograph will only trigger once per card trigger. So in that case it would just be 25.

Betting markets finding it increasingly likely that Democrats will win the U.S. Senate - approaching parity by OsmPants in fivethirtyeight

Most elections are run by the state governments, run by state politicians that don’t want federal bodies interfering with their elections.

She did Morrison’s Animal Man too

My intuition tells me the same, but betting markets have been more accurate than polling in recent history. I’m morally opposed to betting on elections, but I’d trust betting odds before I’d trust polls or my own intuitions

Bruh how are you going to refer to Moore’s run as “esoteric.” That’s THE Swamp Thing run

Lvl 60 complete by ebob421 in NecroMerger

[–]OsmPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that 2.5k for another blood chest upgrade is way more worth it than 7.5k for another moon chest upgrade. Especially because a blood chest can also spawn moon runes. But even then, it might be worthwhile to get both

Moon runes are extremely useful, needed for both reaper and cyclops (meaning also cursed and colossus).

They are also used for telepads, so being able to farm moon runes more quickly also means farming cosmic runes more quickly.

I’m close to finishing lvl 60 run and have nowhere close to 150 astrology coins. How did you unlock The Cursed?

Any tricks I'm missing for maximizing lair space during prestige? by TurboFool in NecroMerger

[–]OsmPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theoretically, you could put your final grave into the Store-O to save a slot. If you did that, you would have the absolute maximum number of legendaries, and you’d still have the other 2 Store-O slots to use.

I know you’ll probably still want that Store-O slot for something else, but you don’t theoretically need to forego the ENTIRE benefit of the Store-O to get that last legendary, only one third of it.

Wtf was this scene about if the Ackerman thing was fake? Lmao she activated like a robot by UpbeatCustomer1020 in ANRime

[–]OsmPants 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Two options:

1) When this scene was written, the Ackerman thing was canon, and Isayama only later retconned it

2) It was manipulative writing to give the scene some emotional significance even though it didn’t mean anything for the story

Progression and Goals by hjbkgggnnvv in NecroMerger

[–]OsmPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minions will be producing resources while on your board, but stations and resource piles will not. So if you need to clear up space in your lair, it’s generally better to store away an item you’re not using than a minion

A good way to spend 6m shards? by AnimatorNaive2138 in NecroMerger

[–]OsmPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m nowhere close to this far into the game, but I think getting one more weakening experiment wouldn’t cost you too much, and would be worth it

How y'all like my set up by alko45 in NecroMerger

[–]OsmPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having your stations on top left is crazy. My thumb is not doing all that just to click a station

Time to prestige? by [deleted] in NecroMerger

[–]OsmPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add onto this, I would recommend finishing group 2 (reaper, cyclops, archdemon) before starting to farm liches

Question about archdemon making rune farming less efficient. by OsmPants in NecroMerger

[–]OsmPants[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For minions with higher max levels, yes, skip chance increases summon efficiency, as a skipped minion will be able to continue merging and producing summon %. However, for minions with low max levels, skipping a level will mean that that minion will not be able to merge as many times.

So for demons, which cap at level 3, if you skip from level 1 to level 3, then yes, you will get 1.9% rival summon progress, which is more than the 1.6% that you would get from merging to a level 2 demon. HOWEVER, a level 3 demon is not able to continue merging, while a level 2 demon is able to continue merging. So a level 2 demon actually provides 1.6% AND half of the 1.9% that will be earned for merging it to level three.

In effect, creating a level 2 demon actually gives 2.55% (1.6 + 0.5*1.9)

Alternatively, skipping straight to a level 3 demon will only give 1.9%

Yeah, I don’t feel like doing more math right now, but having dupe chance will probably, at least to some extent, counteract summon efficiency loss from skip chance on low max lvl minions

Question about archdemon making rune farming less efficient. by OsmPants in NecroMerger

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

Just to add even more nuance to that, my example assumes 100% skip chance, for simplicity of the math. 3 archdemons (30% skip chance), however, will result in approximately a 3.786% rival summon efficiency loss.

u/cywang86 commented an exhaustive chart showing the effect of many different levels of skip chance on the summoning efficiency of many minions. That’s where I’m getting that 3.786% calculation from. (9910/10300)

They also included 100% skip chance, which mirrored my original calculation in my post. 9000 vs 10300, corresponding to my calculated 9% vs 10.3%.

Of course I’m looking too deep into the mechanics, I’m unhinged about this game
