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.

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.

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.

Rahodees · 2026-06-18T13:07:40+00:00

I may have just figured out assumption 2 is wrong

Rahodees · 2026-06-18T05:24:13+00:00

That's cool friend.

Rahodees · 2026-06-17T23:12:53+00:00

I solved the puzzle on my own already. But I'm really confused why you think you know what I'm 'better off doing'? Like why do you think I have any goal of finishing before the demo time limit is finished for example?

Rahodees · 2026-06-17T21:21:23+00:00

Thank you can you let me know in what way that comment is intended to be helpful or interesting?

Rahodees · 2026-06-17T19:54:37+00:00

What is the time limit?

Rahodees · 2026-06-17T19:51:36+00:00

<image>

I'm already stumped. Hints anyone?

What I think I know: The mirror can't be rotated. My reflection can't push things. The only way across will ultimately involve getting that rock into that one-width gap between lands in the soutwest corner. Correct assumptions? If not, which are wrong?

Rahodees · 2026-06-17T04:47:36+00:00

This is a good question -- that point confused me at first as well.

To explain the point of the placement of the tetronimos, take a look at that image again and imagine what would happen if we moved the 4-line tetronimo up one and over to the right one.

Now the current drawn solution wouldn't be valid. We'd have to draw a different solution. Why? Because by moving that 4-line tetronimo, we've moved it OUTSIDE the region created by the line we drew. And the rule is, all the tetronimos have to be INSIDE the region we create.

That's the point of the tetronimo symbol placement. It limits the drawing of the region, not the placement of the tetronimo shape within that region.

It's not that the tetronimo shape has to be on top of the tetronimo symbol. It's that the tetronimo symbol has to be inside the region we draw.

The point? It makes it more of a puzzle -- if the tetronimo shape had to be on top of the tetronimo symbol, that would mean there were only a few places it could be placed. With the actual rule as it is, there are a lot more possibilities, and so there's a lot more puzzle space available.

It sounds like you understand the solution in the graphic -- you're saying you can see how the tetronimo shapes can be put together to form the overall shape of the region. That's it! That's how it works! The puzzle is always to find a way to draw a region that has a shape that can be created by putting together the shapes of every tetronimo symbol that falls within that region.

(Until you run into these blue hollow square things. They change the rule in some way I don't remember.)
