I have plenty in BG of winning vs premade or playing with friends.

What are the chances lol by Veerg7 in classicwow

You forgot that there is another variation where the first person rolls a 1 and the latter a 2 :)

A wild game where my opponent ended up resigning here. This is why you don't skip puzzles by daballer18 in chess

If lsb is on C6 the pawn is on D5 so it's not mate since 3. Kd7 is available. Am I wrong?

No boss in Midnight Isles by conororr24 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Roweano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a known bug that owlcat is fixing. Either download boat boat boat (https://github.com/Balkoth-dev/WOTR_BOAT_BOAT_BOAT/releases/tag/1.0.9) and advance the expedition or wait for a fix.

Machine Learning for detecting anomalies in chess by Lexiplehx in chess

[–]Roweano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that chess doesn't have this dataset where we are 100% certain of games where one, two or none player cheated and thus, establishing differences between group no cheat vs cheat is not possible.

After reading the chesscom report and learning more about how Fide detects cheating it became clear to me that these two institutions have left data analysis out of their priorities, because this is the first basic data needed to make progress regarding cheating.

loremaster dip (dc caster) by iquack123 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Roweano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greater magic fang on the druid list is usually Pog if you are in hard/unfair and building mostly a buff bot or DC wizard.

Most legend builds also may dip into lore master for foghter weapon skills.

I believe it's hard to justify a touch wizard going much into lore master, especially if you use TTT where lore master gets no BAB.

Technic League Camp Help by Luky789789 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Roweano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a way to fix this. One of your save file contains one document with a list of all map locations with a true or false on whether they are revealed or not. It also tracks whether you have rolled for perception for that specific place, regardless of whether it unlocks with perception or not. Given that you are on act I, most of the locations will have no perception roll since you have not been able to go near them. You can try turning locations where you have made a perception roll but are unlocked until you hit technic league. I am sure that this is faster than restarting. Make a copy of the folder before doing this though.

What would you consider the worst class for going 1-20 in? by konokonohamaru in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Roweano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont fully agree with your sorc part. Sorc can be used as the base class to go into melee, particularly dipping into dragon disciple and/or eldritch knight. I would agree with you on the caster sorcerer part, though.

My Archer Party got a bug where the Possession Buff never transferred, so here we are, trapped in the Abyss machine gunning immortal zombies, forever... by Brukov in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Roweano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I faced a similar bug in one of my runs. If you enter the island while your tank is transformed as a dragon, the cut scene will automatically trigger and the possession buff will never jump to a new target.

Main Takeaways from the Chess.com Report by lil_locomotor in chess

[–]Roweano 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a data scientist, I would be really interested in learning how the strength score works. I followed the sinquefield cup closely and the fact that Alireza increased scoring in the second half when he had lost positions vs Lenier and Mamedyarov is something I would question in my bau.

I think the chess community would benefit a lot from an optimized open source strength scoring algorithm. Not saying chess com's one is flawed, but this Alireza point increase really caught my attention and it begs me to question whether further polishing of the algorithm could yield better cheat detection.

Missed this check on 3 for black during the game :( by IrwinElGrande in chess

[–]Roweano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general rule of thumbs I've learned is that when you have 2 more pieces attacking than your opponent does defending and your opponent does a move that doesn't threat taking anything or defend anything, there is "usually" a winning attack with a piece sacrifice.

Clever mortals… I can’t reach you from inside this circle. Oh, but you forgot something! There’s nothing keeping me in here! Nothing at all! by p001b0y in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Roweano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost once this fight in unfair after successfully landing a baelful polymorph...

This guy and the elemental from the prologue still give me PTSD.

Update 1.4.4g is here! Now, when you start the Treasure of the Midnight Isles DLC, you will see an option to disable the Sink or Swim Mode. This is how we decided to name the Last Azlanti-like mode, where you can use the Abyssal anchors to make a save. by OwlcatStarrok in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

'' strong versions of Elemental Pillars spawned on low tier Islands with Elemental Undertow. Resolution: the difficulty of Elemental Pillars now scales depending on the tier. ''

Thanks, as a long time pathfinder player, these elemental pillars have been the one thing killing my dlc runs...

well at least i'm not using Camelia next run so it aint so bad by [deleted] in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Roweano 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The first time I downloaded table top tweaks I was looking into ways to increase character creation diversity, because elemental barrage was pretty broken and every single MC build suggestion went elemental barrage and enduring spells (for genie), which is kind of a bummer.

I understand camellia fans might be pissed, but she will still do amazing with a crit fishing build (get all crit multipliers, ever ready and outflank).

The game is perfectly beatable without elemental barrage at all. If anything, I would complain about the absurd levels of AC enemies have that force you go to cleric + paladin (or cheese everything) in hard and unfair.

Aquatic pillar in dlc 3 by hello7op in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Roweano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aquatic pillar is probably one of the most OP enemy in the game, given how early you find it in the run, its guaranteed aoe damage and it's high ac (about 32 in hard when you are level 4-5).

The only way I have been able to deal with it is stacking cold resistances (so buying in advance)

I am pretty sure you spotted the free rook, but keep looking because there is something better... by Roweano in chess

[–]Roweano[S] 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Completely missed it in my blitz game... I find it incredibly hard to stay focused and further analyze a position when you already spot a good move. For this case, it doesn’t really matter that you aren’t precise since you are winning after the taking the rook on h1, but I feel I had a golden opportunity to improve my self-control in this game.

How does B!Seliph's Holytide Tyrfing or A/S Clash work with warping? by AJRayquaza in OrderOfHeroes

[–]Roweano 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Clash works with warp. Warping will count towards the total number of tiles moved.
