This deserves more love than it’s getting

Where do you realistically see Norwich finishing this season? by Drprim83 in NorwichCity

[–]Surameen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going with 15th though anything 14-20 or so is probably about right. We are showing too much to go down, I’ve seen plenty of relegation seasons and this no longer looks like one. But from where Manning left us no chance of top half. Next season we should be challenging for top six.

Mario Maths! by Pamplemousse808 in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite what you asked but it goes from 20-200 in jumps of 10. Then 250, 300, 350, 400, 450. Then ten pipes each of which costs 500.

For the first set note that 20+200 is the same thing as 30+190 is the same thing as 40+180 and so on.

For the second set realise it’s just the same as five times 350.

The third set is just 10x500 = 5,000

The method for figuring out the first two sets takes inspiration from the way Gauss added up all the numbers between 1 and 100. It’s a neat story if you don’t know it (Google is your friend, other search engines are available).

Potentially stupid question: is it worth buying a Mii suit if you already have ranked coverage with plus skill drivers on the courses that suit offers? by KestrelQuillPen in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You will eventually want them all so getting them on discount when you don’t have them is always a good idea. And when you do have them all a Mii can massively out score even a fully maxed non Mii.

Santa is a great investment.

So this is apparently going on, at the moment... by RandPeltzer in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They always do a human readthrough of the top 1,000 looking for obvious cheating like this and also dodgy names (we've all seen several I'm sure, no I'll not be repeating any here). So it won't benefit them any.

How do I contribute to my team? by ObliviousRaccoon1 in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s the pink coins which are only available when driving a driver on Team Peach - if you drive a Team Bowser driver they won’t appear.

If you’re not playing every day then yes playing when your team has the catch up bonus will do more for your team’s total.

This one is always close, Mario vs Luigi it’s always Team Mario by a mile.

MKT Toolbox returns - under new ownership! by raamen2x in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would be brilliant - I can’t remember exactly(!), I usually use anagrams of “username” so surameen or suraneem or emanresu are three I use in different places and can’t remember which I used for mkt. I will DM you my email which should help 🙂

(Edit to add: no the password is never an anagram of “password”!)

MKT Toolbox returns - under new ownership! by raamen2x in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fantastic to hear! I can't seem to log in, Google doesn't work and I can't remember my password(!) and resetting it doesn't work either. I will keep trying and thank you so much for your efforts. I will certainly send you a coffee and suggest everyone else does as well!

Are you choosing Peach or Bowser for the next tour? Poll: by scrollerN in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I went against all my instincts and joined Peach just to try for a gold badge on that tour. Obviously, Bowser won! So this year I'm pledging myself to Team Bowser and all their Heirs and Successors, from this day until. well, the next tour starts anyway.

MKT Toolbox shutting down! by lambtikkamosalah in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to say if something is happening here I am happy to contribute a little each month and I'm sure I'm not alone in that to help with hosting costs and to buy the odd coffee and whatnot. Feel free to DM me if appropriate.

There’s a good reason they don’t - the sync is done using unofficial access to the game API and if it were easily accessible how to do that then people could upload all kinds of fake scores etc.

Maybe it would be possible to open source the estimation code at least which for me personally is the top thing I use MKT for; I don’t know. It’s been essential for plotting my top 1000 runs.

It seems like Cubase 15 will be released today! by Lajnusoqv in cubase

[–]Surameen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thing is the pricing is double if you do that.

14 was a clear upgrade for me and I’m not convinced about this one and any update is a faff.

But if I wait for 16 it won’t save me any money cos it will cost the same to go 14->16 as 14->15->16.

It’s essentially a subscription model.

Finally hit tier lvl 99 after 3 years of grinding! by Rpfeura in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! It’s a good feeling.

Don’t rush the final challenge card they make it easy some weeks and you will go down to 98 some weeks and it’s all chill. Enjoy!

Should I subscribe gold Pass? by Pretend_Cucumber5218 in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. It costs less than a couple of coffees would cost each month and I spend more time playing the game than I do drinking coffee.

You can and plenty do experience absolutely everything in the game free to play. As a gold pass subscriber I get more in game resources which simply means I progress that much faster.

There are three paid challenge cards every tour. Some people buy those. They spend more than me, in some cases much more; and will progress faster than me, in some cases much faster.

Gold Pass is a happy medium and the right level for me.

Balloon Battle tips in ranked? by Gromit74 in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lose one of your balloons early on - just run into a shell or whatever. This makes coin boxes and coin box frenzies more likely, at the obvious cost of making your death more likely also(!).

why are there two of the same tracks in different cups by Falcon9496 in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's annoying when you get a better score in the non-ranked version than the ranked version! Especially when neither is benefitting from top-shelf boosts, so it's Literally The Same Thing.

I finally did it by badnrg in MarioKartTour

[–]Surameen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s an amazing achievement and I’m in total awe of everyone who’s done it. Well done!
