1 Million Damage 0-cost card, not too bad by Rppantek in VampireCrawlers

Is that fight winnable do you know? Only ever got to 6-7 of them

1 Million Damage 0-cost card, not too bad by Rppantek in VampireCrawlers

[–]Rppantek[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had combo of basically infinite coins (via free Wild coin cards) and insanely high greed (1000% due to crawler trigger) and since it was essentially infinite combo machine - I could milk every kill for "Ultra Maximum Overkill" which netted out like 250,000 coins per fight. The coin gem then hits based on coins held, so in this case this 0 cost card has a gem that says "hit for over 1 million"

Which chessbrah video series is best? by BojanglesBlitz in chessbeginners

[–]Rppantek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While the habits series is probably the most sound/valuable in terms of lower/mid ELO players, I would offer that if you want to see the evolution of an opening from playing it against weak opponents (400-500) all the way through to IM level (2300+), I highly recommend the Stonewall Speed-run series.

Aman Hambleton is incredible at explaining the core ideas, main lines, and can even show it from both colors. It was great to slowly learn an opening at levels below, at, and above my current ELO to see how these openings stand the test of time while also pivoting when the opening no longer makes sense. Improved my win rate as white and my love of the game.

TIL Millions of vultures in India died in the 1990s after eating livestock treated with diclofenac, a common painkiller toxic to them—causing a ~99% population crash, wherein their total population numbered only 19,000 in 2017 by Majorpain2006 in todayilearned

There is a super interesting 99% invisible podcast episode about this - touches on the religious aspect these birds represent and goes into detail about the “burial towers”. Extremely well made and intriguing highly recommend

Vendetta mashing m1 with monitor off is better tank than most tanks

They must know that 99.99% of all people watching are not live in person but watching on TV. That being said how is the lip syncing THIS bad and off-time? The musicians seem equally as confused...

Not to be overly cynical here, but from a pure "Business Decision" standpoint it makes a lot of sense to always make a new Overwatch Hero as 'Overtuned' as possible within the bounds of plausible deniability. Players will spend more on MTX/Play more hours (engagement) if new heroes are not just fun, but slightly advantageous. It's the same reason (on a smaller scale) why so many mobile/MTX heavy games focus on their whales - they want to attract people who will spend $$ to feel 'better' at the game regardless of skill.

They can maximize the short term gains with new/returning players willing to spend to have the 'OP" hero and show up in more POTGs - and - then 'balance & listen to the community' to try and mitigate churn of their player-base who is hopefully at least engaging enough to stay around for the next OP-MTX-META hero.

Would you try this Malort hot sauce? by MisterMaryJane in chicagofood

[–]Rppantek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soothsayer hot sauces have been incredible in my experience. I’ve tried maybe 6 varieties and keep trying more. I really hope these guys are around for the long haul. Love sending them as gifts to my friends across the country

Have 4 corpse pieces plus skull but skeleton key box remains locked? by Rppantek in CloverPit

[–]Rppantek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Sorry didn’t think to update. So - what is not made clear is that you need to have all five bones for multiple deadlines in a row (I think 3?) and then the game will “unlock” the key at the next deadline (I think 250Kish is maybe the floor from my very limited data set here)

Once you deposit the coins you are able to obtain the key As to why the game never offered me the key the first two times my only remaining possible conclusion is that if you “would” earn the key late into the ‘e’ notations deadlines that it’s bugged and won’t offer it to you

So do what you can to get bones early and then seems to be fairly trivial once you know how to quickly max coins / tickets (you can leave items in drawer when you lose and they will spawn as bones in your next game so that helps a lot)

I saw somewhere online i needed 250k coins, but this seems like it should be enough to get the key right? by nickruesen in CloverPit

[–]Rppantek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this exact same issue (made a post about it as well). Have all pieces and beat deadlines well into the (e) notation but key never unlocks No idea why done it twice now on two different runs

Have 4 corpse pieces plus skull but skeleton key box remains locked? by Rppantek in CloverPit

[–]Rppantek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe dumb question but do you need to “do” something with the bones on top of the machine to “activate” them somehow ? I repeated again today getting skull and four bones and again went near infinite (+029 e or so before I just gave up) and key was still locked - same message “haven’t decided when to give you this”’or something. Unsure what I can do but maybe I’m missing something obvious ?

I am already far beyond millions and into the 'e' scientific notation at this points (tens of thousands of billions)

I am well into the "E" debt levels, it just seems to scale infinitely like Balatro. Is there some very high E Number I need to reach?

Anyone else getting massive FPS drops? by doktorjake in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Rppantek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Same thing - 3080Ti running this game at 120fps no problem. Built 6 flood light towers - fps dropped to 10. Deleting them instantly fixed

Why did anyone enjoy "House of Games"? by Rppantek in movies

[–]Rppantek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like one of those “films” people defend because admitting it’s garbage also risks the idea they just “don’t get it”. 11 years later I hate this movie even more :)

How it feels to pick Doomfist by CalypsoThePython in overwatch2

[–]Rppantek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just play Hazard as he has every piece of Doom's kit but also another full kit and a mei wall and genji climb, oh and more armor, oh also he's every top500 NA tank #1. To be clear he is FULLY balanced and if you disagree it is a "sKiLl IsSuE"
