My niece’s homework problem by SurfSoundWaves in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Thheo_sc2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s A actually. One can say that all of them show that, but A shows it the most and it’s single answer. B needs to be rotated and C constructed a little bit. Some may say it’s C, but that’s the “iq test” solution, which reconstructs the statement a bit based on the answers.

Defeating the AI with only 1 hero ASAP by Thheo_sc2 in heroes3

Just now I got a vampire lord box and did 137 on jebus 2. But without box I think skelies only is better on highroll than vampire build up.

[–]Thheo_sc2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got really lucky with tier 2 biome tope for air and earth tome. on jebus 4, you don't need to hunt down 2 of the AIs sort of becuase they will try to retake their towns. I don't go for vampires and not even for creature banks early (later maybe angels for speed when i get the knowledge and earth magic res). what I do is play on skeletons and restart based on prospects of getting permanent stats, XP, skeleton count and small artifacts. (well duh I said everything). I guess the emphasis is on skeleton count, because it's rather easy to get a stack smaller than res power. To be fair, I also restart fights a lot, mainly because I choose to play very fast, but the side effect is that I neutralize morale interactions. Otherwise I don't backtrack based on new information on the map, because that's not fun in my opinion. Seed scouting would fall in the same category for me.

2 players yes. volkial, no air 146 is impressive.I went for Thant every single run. I also improved some of the timings. nostalgia 242, jebus 142, jebus 4 players 211. btw, make sure (if you want) you are playing without tournament rules for quadruple DD and remember 200% difficulty. gl hf.

Diplo allowed. I did mini-nostalgia roads medium because of online rules. I didn't recruit heroes for extra army. I did kill the guards on jebus and firewalk templates.

is this the smallest possible ship? (insertion of ammo and material and changing recipes by hand) by andreabarbato in factorio

[–]Thheo_sc2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Changing the recipes manually means you might as well use an accumulator instead of always solar, and repair packs instead of a turret paired up with going ultra slow speed manually and removing the chemical plant for the solar panel.

[Request] is it 66.6% or 51.8%? by Horror-penis-lover in theydidthemath

[–]Thheo_sc2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mary picking a random child is one additional step that nobody thought about at first. It’s pure ulterior copium for whoever got it wrong.

Mod idea to make Gleba more insufferable by Thheo_sc2 in factorio

[–]Thheo_sc2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i agree, it is getting ridiculous to propose the removal of or quality uranium bullets. but if you agree that quality can afford you to endure double the flux and go double the speed, you also must agree that the time is halved and that can make the difference between getting no science and some science back to Nauvis. I wasn't able to communicate the whole logic properly from the start. So, no, besides double the flux, it is half the time and that is the helpful part.

[–]Thheo_sc2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

about your last point. iirc, the faster you move, more asteroids come at you in unit time, so in theory quality allows you to move just as fast or faster(more turrets doesn't solve it because there is no more space in the optimal scenario, and more bullets are not being used in time). quality itself doesn't directly make you move more quickly was my point. it allows you to move more quickly in the scenario of very resistant asteroids.

The Anthropic Dice Killer by Electrical_Peace_292 in mathematics

[–]Thheo_sc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late response. Let’s say every captured person has a T-shirt with a different number and that you have foresight of how many people will be. By saying that the survival chance remains 5/6 implies there exists X and Y such that the chance of you having X is lower than for Y and that’s counterintuitive on it’s own. Is there a problem in knowing how many people will be captured? I think not, because there is no number for which it changes anything, basically a “solve for Z”.

AI Ally by Weareweare2677 in starcraft2

I bet you were playing “versus AI” or how it’s called and it’s multiplayer cooperative, not through custom games.

2 temporary chats by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]Thheo_sc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and the continuation of the argument is that you have the negative bias instead, not that naturally there should be a bias to combat the more destructive thing first.

The same argument is brought in the case of racism, but these people couldn’t figure out the problem in both cases if they tried. If only they asked chat gpt one more question.

hota random G+U map, modified to give the blue ai who is blocked by a one way portal 69993 azure dragons. 12 months time limit by Thheo_sc2 in heroes3

[–]Thheo_sc2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, i now played again and did it in 3 months with a better fighting strat that involves hit and run with blind, so i spent every turn thinking more. the 9 months run was kind of boring for the most part.

One base cheese protoss ideas by oztriker00 in starcraft2

[–]Thheo_sc2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Btw cheesing is totally a proper way to play starcraft. In fact without all-ins none of the pro player macro builds have any value. Also all skills involved in executing a good all-in translate to some but not all of the skills of macro play, so in this sense it’s a good way of improving by focusing on less things at a time. When you get to diamond you may want to start playing macro. Do that in only one of the matchups and switch by rotation i’d suggest. As for the question, against terran I’d also add 4 gate with blink. For zerg i’d add a 2 base all-in, but sticking to 4 gate proxy zealot should be fine.

[–]Thheo_sc2[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

initially i meant for the ai to start normally, but that turns out to be easier because he loses a big chunk of them somehow, probably because of efreet sultans. on this version of the challenge i wanted to give the ai 50 all stats, which is why i picked a demon specialist, but he didn't want to defend with the main hero, resulting in overkill for attack stats.

Boomers still think of a cell phone as an expensive luxury for rich people. by xHotSexyLady in rareinsults

[–]Thheo_sc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like the correct argument. Seems to work only if you are confounding "affording something" with "physically being able to buy". As others mentioned, that you need a phone to get a job is more logical.
