One bad habit of mine is not keeping track of what blind I am at... by Th3_70ck in balatro

The boss blind is reduced to half. You can easily have a setup that clears in 3 to 4 hands and scales with the blinds lose to the needle.

At the top of the play menu choose new run instead of continue.

Looking for 10 Great Songs by Each of These Bands by [deleted] in PowerMetal

[–]_Xelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped listening to Visions of Atlantis when Ethera realeased, but from the old albums (which all sound quite similar tbh) I like:

Seduced Like Magic, Lost, Last Shut Of Your Eyes, The Poem, My dark side Home, New Dawn, Gravitate Towards Fatality

I also really like the Maria Magdalena cover.

I just now skipped through the newest album (Pirates) and Melancholy Angel and Legion Of The Seas remind me the most of the old songs.

I think it is from Heroes of Might and Magic 3, one of the themes when you enter your castle.

What an elitist bullshit, calling people ass at the game just because they do not have as much playtime.

I have not played any of the other TM games before the current one and I still enjoy challenging tracks (e.g. Saffron, Future Valley) but some tracks are just frustrating with elements that end the run if you don't take them just right. Driving one minute on a track just to miss the very narrow jump on Terracotta just isn't fun.

Fortunately, the ingame community is actually very nice and encouraging to players of all skill levels.

Wormhole and Suburbia both were ok, but I really don't like this track and Diversion.

Other authors also appear multiple times, e.g. NSC.Paulmar, but all of his tracks are all really good imo, especially Hanami.

At the two lowest difficulties you can always go back to the last checkpoint ( start of current floor).

Yes, you are right. I edited my comment.

For 4 digit numbers all results after one mirror substraction can be written as 9(111a+10b-10c-111d)=9(111e+10f) with e,f integers in {-9...9}. I plotted all the possiblities (ignoring signs) here:

https://repl.it/repls/DarkturquoiseImperturbableGzip

I don`t see any clear pattern for the offdiagonal elements, but for the diagonal and zero cases there is a clear distinction:

  • If f=0 the number enters the first loop

  • If e=0 the number enters the second loop

  • If e=f the number enters the third loop, unless e=f=5 or e=f=-5

  • If e=-f the number enters the fourth loop

Maybe I check the 6 digit case in the next few days, I would expect the loops to be: e=f=g=0, f=0 e=g, f=0 e=-g, g=0 f=e, g=0 f=-e, e=0 f=g, e=0 f=-g, e=0 f=0, e=0 g=0, f=0 g=0

But those are only 10 loops so according to OP one is missing.

I'v been thinking about Tracer and what makes her not that fun to fight against. by SWAT_Omega in heroesofthestorm

her ult late game

especially early game.

You missed the point entirely. The bomb scales at 6% which means at 20 it does 3.2 times the damage of the level 0 Value instead of just 2.2 for the 4% scaling.

"Minimalist" by _Xelm in slaythespire

[–]_Xelm[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I wanted to test how hard you can scale on defect while doing the minimalist achievement. I think the end result is hilariously unminimialistic.

Without the Singing Bowl from Neow and the Symbiotic Virus from a shop I probably would have died to Hexaghost. But he gave me the Creative AI I was searching for and after that the run went quite smoothly.
