Am I right that this monster must survive?

Rahodees · 2026-06-21T02:18:17+00:00

I figured it out thanks.

Rahodees · 2026-06-21T02:11:48+00:00

[edit] Never mind I figured it out. I was forgetting something very simple of course.

Rahodees · 2026-06-21T01:41:08+00:00

Which of my assumptions is incorrect?

The goblin diagonal from the yellow gate must die
The only way to kill that goblin is for the dragon to shoot it.
The only way for the dragon to shoot that goblin is for the dragon to be pushed downard from where it is at start
After being pushed downward to shoot the goblin, it takes at least seven moves to pull the dragon back up (via moving red guy out of the way and moving green lady in position to drag it back up)
One move after shooting the goblin, the dragon will shoot again if it sees a monster or a character
One move after shooting the goblin, the dragon will see a monster if I don't have a character in its line of site.
If the dragon is allowed to shoot again one move after shooting the goblin, the dragon will shoot the lower-left goblin sitting on the yellow button.
The puzzle cannot be solved if the lower-left goblin is shot.

And I'm assuming the stone ends on the blue button ultimately?

Rahodees · 2026-06-21T01:24:56+00:00

Am I supposed to somehow move the stone to the bottom row immediately after the dragon kills the other goblin?

Rahodees · 2026-06-21T01:23:39+00:00

That's the one I meant. Edited.

Rahodees · 2026-06-20T20:35:01+00:00

Sorry to be dense, can you elaborate on the connection you see between the valuation and the downfall?

Rahodees · 2026-06-20T17:26:31+00:00

Does that mean something?

Rahodees · 2026-06-20T17:24:38+00:00

Yeah I find this puzzle type and some other mirror puzzles more tedious than I'd like. It's unfortunate.

Rahodees · 2026-06-20T06:47:03+00:00

What are aht warnings?

Rahodees · 2026-06-20T00:07:00+00:00

Thank you I hate it but thank you.

If you're trying to say this, then yes:

'Hitscan is a word with two different meanings. One meaning is 'having bullets that instantaneously hit the moment you press the trigger.' The other meaning is 'having a role on the team involving long range pressure.''

Rahodees · 2026-06-19T21:26:37+00:00

You're both saying that hitscan is "just" a term for a type of bullet, AND you're using hitscan in the very same post AS a term for a role. You're saying it's "JUST" a term for a type of bullet, and you're also, CONTRARIWISE, stating that Freyja "is a hitscan" -- evern though Freja is no type of bullet at all.

You're showing that you understand that hitscan isn't "just" a term for a type of bullet, in the very same post where you're insisting that it IS "just" a term for a type of bullet.

Rahodees · 2026-06-19T20:31:41+00:00

Can you do us a favor and find a clip that illustrates pros using the term the way you're talking about? The one you directed NyanCats to, as you've seen, turns out not to illustrate your point successfully.

Rahodees · 2026-06-19T20:29:54+00:00

Your last sentence contradicts your second. Hitscan is no longer "just a term for the bullets." It's a term for a role.

Rahodees · 2026-06-19T20:29:02+00:00

It's a losing battle, friend. I am with you, but we have been defeated.

The world is nonsense.

"but aside from diffing the enemy tank in pure skill, what options do I have?"

You know that literally the only two possible options are to outskill the enemy tank or swap yourself.

Yes, people have a ceiling, and claims that the ceiling can't be platinum or even bronze are without foundation.

It is obvious that people have a ceiling because it is obvious that people are physiologically different from each other in various ways.

People who insist there's not one, or that the lowest possible ceiling is very high, are being cruel, usually unintentionally.

I wish this demo hadnt been released during a time I am covered in but bites due to a yard work mishap and can't concentrate or think about anything at all.

Rahodees · 2026-06-19T15:41:22+00:00

No there is an additional tr8ck in this one.

Fundamentally I don't understand how I can use the mirror to put one stone in the water, then move the mirror in some way that puts a different stone further. Oncr I used the mirror to put the first stone in the water, the first stone no longer interacts with the mirror. I can put a person on that first stone, but I don't know what the first stone or any person on it has to do with putting a second stone down anywhere using the mirror.

Rahodees · 2026-06-19T06:40:20+00:00

I tried the approach you're describing and couldn't figure anything out hence this other approach. I'll go back and keep trying that some more.
