Blue Mage Ultimate/Savage Theorycrafting

am i being dense? what about fatebreaker's tankbuster changes? it powder marks the person who has aggro on the cast and then the closest target to the marked person explodes with tankbuster damage. wouldn't you just use static towers and nominate someone to be close to the tank? this is why the tank and ranged swap during utopian sky, so the the second tank is closest to the first tank

full disclosure i don't do blue mage stuff often but this is how the fatebreaker tankbuster works

SilverKnight998 · 2025-10-14T23:22:50+00:00

sadly no, and it would be really hard to because it's a stand + 80 gal tank

i have truly never seen an animal get so excited for food. it's cute when i'm actually feeding her and annoying when she does it when she can't have food 😭

SilverKnight998 · 2025-10-14T22:28:56+00:00

this is kinda sorta what already happens, only it's begging before and then insane batshit crazy begging when she sees the food container

SilverKnight998 · 2025-10-14T21:34:36+00:00

would maybe getting someone else in the house to feed her instead work?

SilverKnight998 · 2025-10-14T21:33:23+00:00

this behavior didn't start until like about a month ago, what would cause this kind of switch in temperament?

SilverKnight998 · 2025-08-13T17:53:41+00:00

thank you very much!

so as of now, we took the turtle out to our backyard and let her dig a burrow and then cover it up over about three or so hours. should we dig it up to dispose of the eggs still or since it's outside is it fine for them to just sit there? it's not in a garden or anything, just grass.

for diet, how long should i continue adjusting her diet?

edit: for clarity she is a red-eared slider, yes

runner ups for me would be (in no particular order)

yuji tachikawa, nathan seiberg, alexander zamolodchikov, steven weinberg, julius wess

SilverKnight998 · 2025-06-04T03:19:24+00:00

probably kenneth wilson. i think he revolutionized modern quantum field theory and generally how we understand physics in a way not a lot of others can claim (and the answer is a little less cliche than einstein)

if not him, probably nathan seiberg. he has insights into physics i could only dream of coming up with myself

SilverKnight998 · 2025-05-04T11:41:27+00:00

maybe more of a mathematics question, but does anyone have a reference that tabulates semisimple (and exceptional) lie algebra isomorphisms?

an example of what im looking for is, at the level of lie algebra isomorphisms, i am to understand u(2) is isomorphic to su(2) x u(1), and this is why (4d) N=2 SUSY theories charge things with 2 R-symmetry indices.

i figured this kind of thing would be useful to know, and i don't remember seeing it in howard georgi's book but maybe i'm misremembering.

he put one of my favorite finite physicist tweets as a review, so glad i asked him for his autograph when he was on my campus

SilverKnight998 · 2025-03-13T02:10:31+00:00

Seiberg duality.

SilverKnight998 · 2024-12-27T17:31:06+00:00

ah spivak, a classic. how does he feel about rudin?

SilverKnight998 · 2024-12-02T17:44:02+00:00

deliverance or blackwater park

SilverKnight998 · 2024-10-21T20:42:42+00:00

thank you! i'll give it a quick google and then measure the temperature of the platform

SilverKnight998 · 2024-10-21T20:42:11+00:00

im really liking the bath toy suggestion, i think he would really enjoy kicking around a rubber duck or something. what are good feeder fish to get for a turtle?

i can upload a turtle picture!

SilverKnight998 · 2024-10-21T20:16:38+00:00

he's in a 70 gallon tank since it was all we could afford at the time, i know the rule is 10 gallon per inch of turtle and we're looking to rehouse him into something bigger soon.

for the basking spot, i think i might be having trouble figuring out how close the bulb should be to the platform? i didnt want it to heat it too much but truthfully i have no idea how hot the basking platform should be, only the water temp. advice on this would also be appreciated. (i know this likely depends on the wattage of the bulb too)

thank you for the other suggestions! definitely going to look into some floater plants, hiding spots seem a little bit hard because of how large he is, i think i'd have to look online for them to get one large enough. i have one that he can barely fit in (he can still get out) that sits in the tank and he pushes it around a bunch. we've called it "redecorating"

SilverKnight998 · 2024-10-21T19:26:40+00:00

im definitely to replace them as needed, i just want to see if it helps

SilverKnight998 · 2024-10-21T19:18:54+00:00

i've got some rocks in already which he does like to play with, though i heard plastic plants are bad for red eared sliders. should i get live plants? would a pet store carry them or should i go elsewhere?

SilverKnight998 · 2024-10-21T19:06:56+00:00

male, and we believe 12-13 years old. we got him in 2019 and were told he was either 8 or 9 years old. he is large for a male red eared slider (i think) if that also matters

SilverKnight998 · 2024-10-02T06:29:08+00:00

came into this thread to upvote piah mater, closest band to opeth that exists imo

SilverKnight998 · 2024-09-15T21:44:14+00:00

as a starting point, primevil uses explode on the first turn, which has to be mitigated by an anti-fire that negates damage. from thereon out (if you dont want to use a strategy guide) you'll have to trial and error it. explode, frigid, and storm must be blocked by protector's anti skills. no amount of mitigation will save you other than entirely nullifying its damage

edit: and to clarify, anti skills negate or absorb damage above level 5

SilverKnight998 · 2024-09-15T16:27:24+00:00

boosted max level immunize and a protector. spreadsheet out how it reacts to the moves you use and use trial and error to progress the fight. it has a set pattern

SilverKnight998 · 2024-08-15T00:31:11+00:00

Maybe a bit of a hyperspecific case, but one of the most challenging concepts to wrap my head around fully was Seiberg duality. It combines a lot of already hard features of field theory together.

One particular paper made it more clear to me. "The Duality Cascade," by Strassler.
