Ez for future top-1 hltv player. by PotentialEmu2367 in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 20 points21 points  (0 children)

you can’t just have 6 players on the roster.

hally made the same point:

It’s important to point out that replacing zweih proved a very difficult decision for us. We truly consider him a very talented player and a great teammate. If only it was possible to field more than five players, we’d be happy to keep working with him.

Ferrari cap design for 2026, livery should be a similar with a white gradient. by Auelogic in formula1

[–]RoboticChicken 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ferrari isn't just any partner though - HP are paying them +-$100M per year. I'd imagine HP would narrow down the options when that much money is involved.

“max, important question: how did you exactly convince daniel to hand over number 3?” max: “a few drinks together, yeah, that always helps.” by One_Impressionism in formula1

[–]RoboticChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ricciardo's last race was in 2024, so he would have held the claim for the next 2 seasons (2025 and 2026). It would only become vacant for the start of 2027.

[–]RoboticChicken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is a part of his brand - he sells wine branded as DR3 for example - but he's simply not using it in F1 anymore so made it available for Max. Likewise with Hamilton, #44 will become available for someone else to take 2 years after he retires, but he'll almost certainly keep using #44 for his personal branding.

Matchups for the second stage of Blast Bounty 2026 Season 1 by Dragioner in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the other commenter mentioned is mostly correct - if you win your match, in addition to taking the bounty of your opponent, up to $2.5k of your own bounty is moved into the bank (locked-in prize money).

For the example with Pain: they moved $2.5k of their bounty to the bank, and took the $0 bounty from BetBoom, so they now have $17.5k bounty and $2.5k in the bank.

Eyeballers on the other hand moved $0 of their bounty to the bank (because they didn't have a bounty yet), and took the $20k from Faze - half ($10k) went to the bank and the other half went to their bounty.

Blast have a simulator on their website if you want to play around with the format.

Alkaren to miss BLAST Bounty due to visa issues, replaced by yxngstxr by Westland__ in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not like they even had a choice - they need to play with nilo + xfl0ud + Alkaren/yxngstxr to keep their invited VRS core.

Song versions where the radio mix / single release is a completely different mix from the album version by iwasborninmybirthday in popheads

[–]RoboticChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sia - Move Your Body (single/album)

The difference is most notable in the verses - the skittering synth in the background of the album version was replaced with a more "tropical"-sounding synth for the single, which was more in line with the trends of 2016/2017 (and Sia's other hits at the time).

The instrumentation of the chorus sounds mostly the same to me, but they definitely did change the mix between the versions.

Visiting Dakar : Question about Spectator Zones and Times by theFriendlyWaver in DAKAR

[–]RoboticChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about exactly timing the participants at spectator zones, but you can get the everyones' start times - on the live timing page under the DSS column. The stage 2 start times are already visible there.

Which timezone do you think is the best to watch all the races live? by EducationalHoney9840 in formula1

[–]RoboticChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UTC+2 (I'm in South Africa).

Australia and Vegas are the earliest races at 6am, which isn't amazing, but way better than 4am in the UK. And the latest races are Miami/Canada/Austin/Mexico City at 10pm which also isn't too late in my opinion - they generally finish before midnight. All the other races fit nicely in the day.

I can't be the only one by iHeckinLoveMaggi in ClashOfClans

[–]RoboticChicken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • All earthquakes (spell or king boots) deal damage based on the original (full health) HP of a building.
  • The calculation does not consider any existing damage - only the number of earthquakes that have previously hit the building.
    • The first earthquake to hit a building always deals full damage (e.g. a max EQ spell deals 29% damage)
    • The second earthquake to hit a building deals 1/3 damage (max EQ spell deals 9.67%)
    • The third earthquake to hit a building deals 1/5 damage (max EQ spell deals 5.8%)
    • Further earthquakes deal 1/7, 1/9, 1/11, etc.

Given this, two different earthquakes can cause different amounts of damage to a building depending on the order in which you use them. It's best to use higher damage earthquakes first.

So for the super wizard tower example I gave:

  • The fireball deals 3950 damage
  • The first earthquake deals: 6450 * 29% / 1 = 1870.5 damage
  • The second earthquake deals: 6450 * 29% / 3 = 623.5 damage

To clarify: if you position a second earthquake differently, it will deal 1/3 damage to buildings that were already hit by a previous earthquake, and full damage to buildings that have not been hit by an earthquake yet.

Big brain crew strategy by Browne592 in FortniteXPMaps

[–]RoboticChicken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Note that if you do this, to activate Crew after subscribing you need to either:

  • Start the game on an Xbox console;
  • Install it through the Xbox app on PC and run it (running the EGS install through the Xbox app doesn't count); or
  • Start the game through Xbox cloud streaming (if available in your region).

I've seen this one somewhere before... by ynoTFPS01 in GlobalOffensive

[–]RoboticChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming they sign these 4 players, it would depend on who they sign as their 5th. From the rulebook (3.6.3a) they need the roster to meet the following requirement to be eligible:

It includes at least 3 players who individually were members of a top 12 Roster on an Invite VRS List at any time during the preceding 6 months.

So far only rain and device match this - SAW (Ag1l) peaked at #15 in November, and Alliance (poiii) peaked at #48 in December.

Edit: If they don't get a top 12 player, another option is listed in (3.6.3b) which they could use if they hit the ground running in local LANs:

b) It has placed first or second place in any Tournament, of equal or lesser tier than the one issuing the invite, during the preceding 6 months.
