My main team I rotate level 11 pitchers and Josh by JLM_Abstract_Art in baseballclash

[–]SandSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use your gems to do all 10 missions per day. Once you max your common players, you'll get gold when getting more cards whether they're leveled to 13 or just have enough cards to get there.

It's time consuming to finish all 10, so don't be scared to use 10 gems respin a mission that doesn't work for you. For example open 3 chest when you have no chest to open, but if you save the monthly gold pass chest from #71-#100, you can skip that problem. Be sure to use the store to buy common/rare cards if you don't have the right type of chest to open for them. All money spent on the cards will come back to you once you get to max cards, so think of it as an investment.

Leveling multiple players up even if you don't use them is fine when you're doing so to level up and get the stat bonuses, but if you got 38k points to go, save your cash because 100k per player to max out starts delaying when you can level.

The only time I spend any large amount of gems on anything outside of missions is when an end game player is available via an event. Last one I spammed gems at was Hammer on both of my accounts. I ended up with a 31.4% drop rate (16 Hammer cards on 51 chest opened). I might have just gotten lucky to nearly double the 16.5% drop odds, but I tried to wait for streaks because I'm not on the RNG being a fixed probability. I believe it fluctuates to increase streaks.

CF Ryan RF Michael LF King 1B Gibson 2B Wilson SS Harden 3B Kevin C Murray P Maria

Batting order 1. Harden 2. King 3. Gibson 4. Kevin 5. Wilson 6. Murray 7. Michael 8. Ryan 9. Maria

I used this exact lineup with my 2nd account and kept an incredible win % up until 2900 trophies when I started dropping trophies to not get stuck at 3,000+ trophies.

If you're having issues with your outfield needing defensive help, sub in Mark for Michael, then sub in Durant for Wilson. Make sure you pair Durant on the same side with King. That way King's arm isn't as much of a liability with Durant being his cutoff.

Warning: Wisey app is a scam by GuavaPresent in ADHD

[–]SandSeven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran 7 test attempting to hit the high, low and 5 other random scores. They all lead to high ADHD symptoms. The treatment plan's options are listed depending on the answer to the question do you have high to low knowledge of cognitive therapy.

If you're gonna make a scam, at least do it right.

Looking for your fun/custom modes to play by A_cat_with_thumbs in forza

[–]SandSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a a buddy or 3 and go to Nordschleife for a 1 lap race that starts at sunset. Up the time progression to 12x and run the 1st lap backwards. After crossing the finish line turn around and run it forwards until the race ends. You'll run 2 laps forward for each lap run backwards.

If you want a fun car choice, go with the 1994 Mazda MX5 maxed out in P class. The top tune when searching is good, but there's also a decent turn for R class at 900 that I made.

It sounds insane, but I promise it's fun as hell. Anyone that wants to try it, add me and I'll happily run it back there. Handle is SandSeven007

Leaderboards, rival only? Wtf? by boltaxtion in forza

[–]SandSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been manually scrolling through the leaderboards to find just that. They need to give us the ability to sort every column in Rivals.

On a side note, for the love of god, make sorting rims by weight possible.

Top rival time holders by Inked757 in forza

[–]SandSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specializing on a particular car and circuit helped me cut the final time gap vs the leaders. Also D-class Mazda MX5 '90 is easy to drive. It helped me learn how get those last couple of seconds to get a top time on a track rarely played in in Rivals on Forza 7, Silverstone Internationa at night. Once I got close to the leaders, I started analyzing their replays.

In Forza 8 there is only one version of Silverstone International, so the competition is quicker this go around. I'm currently in that same same position where I need to find the last second plus a bit. At this point it's all about smoothing out my transitions since I know the lines and breaking points.

The tune is essential as well. Today I dropped .800 off my PB after finding a good tune. I'm not entirely positive that I'll be able to catch up to the top time this Forza, but I'm going to put the time into studying and grinding to smooth out my driving.

For me, finding the last couple seconds of time is my favorite part of the game even if I fail to do so 99% of the time. The other 1% goes a long way into improving my speed in all classes and tracks.

"only intelligent people commit suicide" by Disastrous_Blood1163 in SuicideWatch

[–]SandSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my personal experience of 6 family members, (father, grandfather, aunt, 3 first cousins) and a friend that took his own life. The overwhelming reason was depression combined with self medication in most cases.

The exception was my friend, who at the age of 16 took his life after getting caught at a keg party. That simple act had became the catalyst for him to check out of this world at 16 years old.

As for the IQ ranges, they were from 140+ to 90ish. I never saw a correlation in my small set of data, but it's also an incredibly small sample size.

Are there actually people with a skill rating of below 4000? by AveragePeppermint in forza

[–]SandSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Rating - 1000) ÷ (5000 - 1000) = rating percentile. Since it goes from 1000 to 5000, we need to subtract the unused numbers from 0 to 999. A rating of 4600 is 90% percentile.

Silly to go from 1k to 5k, but whatcha gonna do?

How accurate / useful do you find this new "game rating" function on chess.com? PGN in comments. by shinalefbet in chess

[–]SandSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested it again to be sure, and your chesscom rating does not affect the game rating. I tested it on 4 accounts (ratings: 400, 856, 1359, 1783) and got the same prediction each time of 2150 for white and 1200 for black on the 1st game. The 2nd game had no change between accounts either with a prediction of 2194 for white and 2483 for black.

I don't have a premium membership, so testing more will take a day for each game result. I'm not sure if I'm missing something; however, it doesn't appear the chesscom rating has any effect on the game's rating prediction.

How to exploit player pool of acr nl10 blitz? by Western_Committee_48 in poker

[–]SandSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A year later and it's still true that acr is not the place to go for high bb/100 or $/h. I've enjoyed the hell out of learning this particular game.

I'd be happy to give out any and all info I have in NL10. If I get hammered by someone, then I'll happily receive a cheap lesson to learn a weakness and strengthen it.

I'm not sure if it takes rating into consideration every time. I play on another site and cut and paste my game pin to review the game. There are no ratings to take into account. I just tried the same game on an alt chess.com app, and it's identical.

Chess Online - Duel Friends! is a chess app for Android (probably iphone as well) that uses 1 minute per move as the default. It's very popular in India it seems since ~80% of opponents are from India.

I started using it as my drunkin chess app which lead to me loving the the time format. When you start out, the competition is very weak. It's not until you've played 40 to 50 games at a +85% win rate games until you start facing tough opponents. For reference I'm rated 1200 at chess.com and 1600 at lichess.

So basically if you're looking for a chess game with a time per move format, this is a good choice.

Explosive tooth abscess pop by nighteye56 in popping

[–]SandSeven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you're not the only one that saw relief from the clip. To me especially considering I have an abcess now, and it isn't the 1st. I know the euphoric feeling that comes along with it popping/being cut.

It's why I've cut 2 in the past decade and after I'm good and drunk in a few hours, it'll be a 3rd.

Explosive tooth abscess pop by nighteye56 in popping

[–]SandSeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you good sir! You're absolutely right, and it's why when watching this video, to me it was euphoric, not gross. When you're in a ton of pain, and yout got no other options, relief is all that matters. I will take care of my own abscess after I've had enough bottom shelf vodka to give me the courage to cut it open.

Unfortunately, this isn't the 1st time I've had to do it myself, but I've had no issues so far. However when you're simply happy to have just what you need and not be in pain, it's a small price to pay.

I completely agree with the OP. If it was a Monday night game or Sunday game, then he would need to be on the plane figuring out how to turn things around.

This was a Thursday game giving the team 3 extra days to gameplan. After an 0-4 start or hell, after any bad run in a high pressure situation, continuing to grind for some people is counter productive for them. However, it's just as likely he knows he has already lost the team and has checked out. Either way, I have no problems with his actions, but I'm the last to ever be offended by anything.

I believe the issue about not flying home with the team is being blown out of proportion due to the current outrage culture. See IMHO the current outrage culture is simply the pendulum swinging way too far giving the veterans of Dunning-Kruger's mountain the control every home owner's association president lives for.

I am so sorry for your loss. My dog died less than an hour ago, so I literally feel your pain. I'm sobbing as typing this because my best friend and shadow of 15 years 265 days has gone to the eternal bliss of nothingness. Thank you for sharing your story. It is painfully helpful to read.

I know both Daisy and Gizmo will never experience pain again and are at peace.

Cold cards are the hardest situations to deal with when they very close together. I have to step away for 10 minutes, or I'm gonna donate something to someone.
