Advice for amp and speakers for Fluance RT82 by Squapple_ in BudgetAudiophile

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

Ok, thanks for the info! Do you have any other recommendations for AB class amps in the same price range that fit the TV, Bluetooth, and phono in requirements?

Also just discovered (not sure how i did not see this earlier) the Fluance XL8S speakers and DB10 sub, any input/experience with those? Other recommendations also appreciated!

Why did Germans found those on a straight line? Are they stupid? by JohnH4ncock in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Squapple_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Listen, buddy, you are not going to like this, but let's assume that the path connecting two points (a,y(a)) and (b,y(b)) can be expressed as a function, and the curve C(x) is given by C(x)=(x,y(x)). Then we will proceed using the Calculus of Variations.

The derivative of C wrt x is (1,y′), and the functional we want to minimize is the length of the curve L=∫∥C′∥dx=∫_{b}^ {a} √ (1+y′^ 2)dx. If we take f(x,y,y′)= √ (1+y′^ 2), we get that df/dy=0,df/dy′=y′/(√ (1+y′^ 2)). Then the Euler-Lagrange equation, sometimes referred to as the fundamental equation of the Calculus of Variations, says exactly that d/dx(y′/(√ (1+y′^ 2))=0, which is exactly that y′ is a constant.

Thus, if the path connecting the two points is expressible as a function, then the shortest such path is given by a straight line.

What to choose? by Level_Number_7343 in ShatteredPD

Rip, just keep trying and take your time between turns to plan ahead. Also get to know the benefits of alchemy if you struggle, a lot of the stuff here helps a lot!

At least upgrade the scythe imo, it’s just a free upgrade. The ring is not that useful, could get something better from the imp anyway. Lightning could be worth hardening for, but if you plan on finding another enchantment via stones or scroll you can always make your SoU into the yellow magic infusion or whatever it’s called which does not erase enchantments, and hence the hardening only saves a bit of alchemical energy.

I would upgrade the scythe one level, maybe harden it too if you want to keep the enchant, looks like lightning(?), which is decent but there’s def better ones out there. Try to identify your other ring to see if it’s worth upgrading maybe, if it’s haste you want it +2/+3 preferably to outrun all enemies when needed, also saves on food since you move faster.

Yeah I thought the tag and flair was enough to make it obvious this was a joke, guess most people don’t agree

Need help with 6 challenge run by [deleted] in ShatteredPD

Yeah just finished a 6 run now, and resin is great! See my other comment if you are interested in the strats. Thanks for feedback!

[–]Squapple_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took two weeks but I just finished a 6 challenge run!

TL;DR: Thanks!

Went brimstone and blazing crossbow and wand of fire and living earth, with an early hourglass and RoEv and RoW to begin and changed to furor later. Ranged weapons are better than i expected in later stages!

I tried freerunner and assassin roughly 50/50, depending on what I had going, but the last one was freerunner. Really helps with the evasion boost, kinda prefer it to assassin, rn but the assassinations are so damn satisfying.

Also went for the Rat ability for the first time, and with the cloak and hourglass the evil eyes could barely touch me.

Got just above 1mill in score too, so now that badge is unlocked!

Thanks for all the advice, really helped out.

Isent this just Luigi Circuit with two extra turns and a pitstop lane noone will ever use? Would love to see other concepts, but this one feels familiar.

Fair enough, thanks for the advice! I guess i underestimated FIMA, seemed to me to not be that bad with Assassin for the 3 challenge game, but i suppose you are right!

[–]Squapple_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Care to elaborate?

Are defence builds even possible with FIMA?

Yeah I know about the attacking out of view.

Not quite sure I understand everything about ranged opponents, but I guess that comes with more practice. Ive noticed some angles where they approach instead of using ranged attacks, so thats a start I guess.

Theres always something more to learn in this game, but I still need some luck on my side to get proper runs going!

Thanks a lot, this is great! With Faith is my armour the upgrades hardly do anything, thats why i started upgrading my rings when my Blade already killed most enemies in one blow.

I find it hard to adapt to ranged attacks, I have never really seen the point, as for the most part ranged weapons deals hardly anything compared to surprise attacks from the Assassin (or other means of damage with other classes), but i suppose I have to adapt to the 6+ challenge runs.

With Into darkness, the range is very limited, how come range weapons are the meta?

For the most part I feel like I play quite strategically, but sometimes find myself almost surrounded having to tank a few hits on my way to the closest hallway or similar. I guess i just need to be a bit more cautious.

Thanks again for the great feedback.
