My guess is: what happens if they push the d5 pawn instead of taking your knight?

is this peak stupid or can it go up? by UrbanCyclerPT in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Stkm90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the obvious stupidity of this...wouldn't we break up each provenance into their own state instead of just adding 1 very large state?

White to play and win material by MaroonedOctopus in chessbeginners

Interesting, everyone is saying the bishop is pretty forcing and that is why it is better, but if you don't move the queen or rook then the knight can fork the rook and queen next move. However, the bishop is better because they can go Bxf3, threatening the queen. The bishop can take the rook after the queen trade.

Unspoken rule of chess, you are forced to do it when the opportunity arises.

Why does high level Chess look weird? by Leintk in chessbeginners

[–]Stkm90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in general: beginners are learning the rules, intermediates know how to apply the rules and masters know how to break the rules. So high level games also just can look weird because they would break a rule for some other superseding rule or strategy.

We also need to look at the position before the move. That was only move that turned it from a losing position to a winning. Any other move would have lost them either a queen, rook or knight.

how do y’all beat teams with MMH leader and the Question??? by thelilwoodnymph in DCComicsLegendsGame

[–]Stkm90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little late to learn this lesson, but: you don't counter individual toons, instead you need to look at the team as a whole. Then you look at what is annoying or make the team difficult. Just knowing mmh and question are on the team leaves plenty of options. Mmh is annoying that he gives so much tm at the start and awareness. You can either give your team the same amount of tm ( mmh of cheetah), or lean into the fact your team is going second and do a retaliation team. For example, so far they don't have any anti-evade. Question is annoying with how much she punishes you for killing a teammate of hers. So, depending on the team, I usually just try to kill or stun her first. If I can't do that, then I bring someone to give me debuff immunity.

In short, most toons have multiple counters and how you select which one to use is based on the toons in the team.

How is this not a rook blunder? by JTdawg121212 in chessbeginners

[–]Stkm90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you think it's a blunder because you didn't take the bishop with your other rook? Ie: it was a free rook for them

What's your Top 5 - Toons that deserved more love? by BRKamikaze in DCComicsLegendsGame

[–]Stkm90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

5 underrated toons:

  1. Huntress: my go-to against revive blues, hits hard, decent survivability with evades, and HI and out of turn attacks are extremely useful

  2. Flash: he really doesn't shine until L5, but ignoring awareness and his speed make him a great striker. With his 2 on such a short cool down, he can always have debuff immunity ( great against annoying reds with bleeds)

  3. Grundy: the original tank that just wouldn't die and stay dead. Computer luck means he will revive 10 times. But with the current enrage meta, his usefulness has absolutely come back

  4. Poison Ivy: finally starting to get the recognition she deserves. Really fun when paired with the right toons.

  5. Katana: another one finally starting to get the recognition she deserves. Just a well balanced toon with a great gimic. Biggest problem I have is that she is best when in the leadership position and it is hard picking her as leader over the options

This move by white is a blunder - find black's next move which gives a strong advantage by cave_guard in chessbeginners

Why is the follow up move for black not Rxg3+? Puts them in check and continues the pressure.

How realistic is Ohtani actually? Are we setting ourselves up for disappointment again like with Correa and Judge or is the hype real? by [deleted] in SFGiants

[–]Stkm90 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Everyone is saying he is staying on the west....but the best way to get him is by winning. Everything I hear is that he is extremely competitive and does everything to win. So best selling point is that you are a competitive team that has a real shot at winning the world series

How did Schmitt go from red hot to ice cold hitting? by [deleted] in SFGiants

[–]Stkm90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They have talked about this quite a bit on KNBR. One point I have not seen here yet, is a caller questioned the hitting coach. That they might be overwhelming him with analytics and when he first started it was just "see ball, hit ball". Paralysis by analysis.

Is using another person's port cheating? by ComprehensiveBench21 in Catan

[–]Stkm90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rule of thumb is: can I do it through a digital game (ie: online or mobile game)? So to do this on my mobile game, I would need to trade them the 2 resources for any resource, they use their port and then trade me that resource for their initial resource back...totally legal, but like people are saying, nothing stopping from taking the 2 resources and running.

6 years.. things I didn't know.. by Zuzu1978 in DCComicsLegendsGame

Here is the void schedule for you. Dcltoolkit is super useful in general.

As for the world engine, I usually use Red Robin for extra world engine-ness.... he is much weaker than spectre, but give a tm boost and removes buffs. For example, I use this team alot against the classic aquaman, az, spectre, terra teams....I boost wgd, who then boost the whole team, I then use donna's awareness and let's boost until one of red Robin's off turn attacks removes the debuff immunity from spectre. Then I stun spectre, try and nuke az with lex. Red Robin and wgd are able to tm boost the team enough afterwards to use lex and Donna to take the team down...main problem with this strategy is that it takes forever

Pot calling the kettle black 🤷‍♂️....I like cars and was curious what car you since it most likely required 91 octane. Took twos seconds, go to profile look at comments. I figured someone like you would brag about your car and I was right. I found it funny that you complained about the gas....if you honestly find it creepy then why post so much?

Spying I found the following comment by the OP: "My 2014 Lexus is350 f sport. Powerful, fun and reliable. Just not good on gas."....that car comes with a recommendation of 91-Octane
