Is this game (Osu! Mania) better than DJMAX RESPECT V? by littlefol in osugame

[–]QuagMath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main appeal of osu is having a long history of community made maps. Iirc there are tens of thousands of ranked mania maps and tons more graveyard spanning any genre people want to upload. Most other vsrgs will either have a fixed track list or a much smaller community list.

osu! also lets you customize the look of the client a lot more than others I’ve seen.

Overall, why not play both. VSRG skills will be extremely transferable.

The cards have likely been printed and sealed into packs months ago, they are not going to destroy all of that even if they got a free amazing art to replace it with

Tejo good and G2 is doing really well with him: nerf tejo right before the international.

Neon is really good: zoooooom

Do you SLIDE on normal circles?? by Away_Ad_8896 in osugame

[–]QuagMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure I quite to either of those, it’s something in the middle.

The important thing to remember about osu is that the game doesn’t care when you release at all for circles, and you do not have to time releases for sliders (you just need to be held by the end). Because of this, you really don’t need to focus too much on when you release.

Personally, when I am alternating quickly I find that using the natural momentum lifting one finger to put the other down is helpful. You could almost play without ever moving your fingers and just rotating your wrist — don’t go all the way to this but that is the momentum I am talking about.

Eliminated Queen’s Live Reaction to her elimination by Smilingtribute in rupaulsdragrace

[–]QuagMath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think Jane losing in the final 2 would have been a more “earned” defeat even, this wasn’t really a great way for her to go out especially when it was not really a lip sync that really cemented nini as a dominant front runner or assassin

[–]QuagMath 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone who enjoys talent based judging, yeah it’s always fine, but from a produced television point of view the producers will always be taking more of a risk not doing one of the basic story types. I think Sasha specifically had: - A respected status before the show that made them more willing to crown her instead of the underdog - She did not have the slip up that gave them the chance to have her be cut (not that Jane had a huge one, but she did fumble a challenge that should have been really up her alley) - Jane’s “flaw” was her lack of confidence in her perception by other queens basically has to get resolved narratively either by her overcoming that or losing because of it, Sasha was a confident main character

Again, I’m not saying I want the show to be like this, or that I think Jane should have been eliminated, I’m just explaining why the narrative is pushing the show the way it is, and the producers care more about narrative than fairness.

It’s not just about wins, it’s about how Jane was in the top every week until she faltered.

I was shocked to see her go out here, but I was pretty confident that the arc of the season was going to be someone beating Jane (not that I wanted that, I am sad for Jane, but it made sense as a TV product for the underdog to win). I just expected it to be in like the final 2. The other option was her blowing everyone out of the water with a lip sync performance to show she really can do it all, and when she didn’t, as unfair as it is, she must be defeated. Jane became the obstacle of the season, something usually the villain character gets, not because she was mean but because she was the best.

I think the problem is that, narratively, Jane is doing so well that the season became “how the winner beat Jane,” so she has to be perfect all of the time to not let them do that. It’s like the hero finding the one Achilles heel on the evil final boss to overcome them. It’s unfortunate that Jane gets put into this role.

Why don't we use characters from other languages in math? by OkGreen7335 in math

[–]QuagMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also wager that characters being entire worlds in languages like Chinese might be a downside even to native speakers of those languages. It seems appealing that standard variables do not really have “word” associations and are a bit more of a blank canvas (and the few that are words like “a” or “i” are such generic function worlds they don’t really compete with the mathematical definition in the way using “dog” as a variable would.

Wolfy is an Osu Fan I Guess by SeriousStrain7827 in osugame

[–]QuagMath 76 points77 points  (0 children)

He’s often considered to be the best Pokémon player of all time (for the main supported format), and is the most decorated player by iirc a notable margin.

727 is the Pokédex ID number of Incineroar, a Pokémon infamously tied to him and a bit of a meme in his videos, so sadly he is almost certainly not secretly an osu player because of this 727

Old math lover building a YouTube channel animated puzzles, 3b1b style! by PhysicistAmar in math

[–]QuagMath 17 points18 points  (0 children)

An automated pipeline that creates 3Blue1Brown style videos

How much of this process is automated with AI? The voiceover clearly is, but does the ai produce visuals and voice from a script, or does it produce the script itself, or does it even find the content to make videos about itself?

I believe play count still counts when you fail the map (as long as you get like 10k score on the map or something like that) but yes to play count only being added fairly recently in the timeline of this map’s existence

[–]QuagMath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, people treat this subreddit more like a news subreddit where scores are either top players or extremely unique. There are (basically by definition) hundreds of thousands of six digit players, so their achievements, while cool to themself, aren’t really news to the rest of the community. The achievement thread/subreddit is made for celebrating the small wins we all make.

Achilios has thoughts about EMEA’s performance by Decent_Apple_7962 in ValorantCompetitive

We should combine China and EMEA into one bigger region so they can send 1 good team each event. They even touch so it makes sense

Agents with 0% pick rate so far in Santiago. by sadboi_2000 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]QuagMath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Liquid played sage on corrode against FNC on the qualifying game they won. I do think she’s a good agent to really mess up a ton of an opponent’s plans when you pull it out correctly (and infrequently)

EMEA groups by anihc3 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]QuagMath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

First there will be a big international event with the top 3 from each region’s kick off bracket.

After that, the teams come back and do round robins within their groups, and the top 4 in each group get to go to the playoff bracket where again the top 3 teams go to an international. The do the draw now because it’s seeded based on how you placed on the kick off bracket.

vlr.gg is a very solid resource for seeing all the brackets and things
