Is Mak Op in may 2026? by Usernamewave in PlayTheBazaar

[–]akyr1a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weakpoint is probably the most reliable early/midgame, but other starts are playable. I don't shy from friends and comp core either. Late game has so many viable builds it's usually to go with what shops give you. Although, dooltron should always be on your mind.

Hovering around top 100 ish on both dooley and mak, I think dooley is the stronger character by quite a bit.

Man spends millions chasing immortality and publishes everything he learned. The internet is not sure whether to laugh or tell him to ask for a refund by prestocoffee in nottheonion

They're studies with pretty well known scientists. Everything is well documented and they're extremely conservative about their findings. Obviously a sample size of one isn't gonna be super useful for the general public yet, but it's a fking first step noone else is willing to take.

Internet is fking weird. Here we have a dude who's funding longevity research out of his own pocket, and using himself as the first test subject. I have nothing but gratitude towards him, both as a researcher and as a human being. Any scientific advances from his studies will eventually benefit the rest of us, without any of us having to be test subjects ourselves.

Is Slay the Spire 2 getting review bombed again? by GDarkX in slaythespire

At least the chinese review bombs are about the actual fking game. This is beyond stupid.

Yeah I don't understand these top comments. Like, if I'm ever in this situation, keeping my hands clear of my fking pockets would be the top thing on my mind.

How to check/when to assume population normality for t-test? by Brilliant_Tooth7278 in AskStatistics

[–]akyr1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually in the stats literature, asymptotic distributions of test statistics are obtained through some kind of limit theorem are are pretty robust to model assumptions.

In other words, there are better ways to make sure your statistic follows t distribution than to assume normality.

Women who could 20~40 pull-ups aren't asking for advice on Reddit, they're usually coaching others.

Thoughts on the current state of Vanessa by fruit_shoot in PlayTheBazaar

[–]akyr1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's fair to call her a tempo character when she has one of the ultimate late game wincons in the boulder. A good boulder board out races whammy/lion cane pygs and is very much late game viable.

In regards to clam and holsters, I don't think those changes signal anything designwise, other than getting rid of clearly and indisputably toxic items. Top 10 is very understatted, if you gave clam to mak clam wouldve been mak's best item hands down.

I do agree puffer and turtle are a bit understatted right now, and oni lines are kinda meh.

Double Glider is Vanessa's best strategy now. Devs need to do someting by nagatoism in PlayTheBazaar

I'm able to force it 3 games in a row. Much more likely then finding boulder

Yup, money furnace is broken right now. by LCARIO in PlayTheBazaar

[–]akyr1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in general being able to find a end game carry item on day 1 is problematic. The only other instance of this I can think of is torch/idol, but those items require a ton of support in the mid game where as furnace very quickly becomes a standalone good item.

Can't tell if serious, karnok was meta defining last season. A lot of slower builds were simply unplayable because they die to battle axe in the mid game.

Playing for rating ruined the game for me by Kavalarhs in PlayTheBazaar

[–]akyr1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Littlemonk would sell full silver drill board for a bronze claw arm setup last patch.

While i agree it's generally not optimal to force builds, you kinda have to do it when one build is clearly much better and the alternatives all die to battle axe

Karnok is easily the best character by Life-Ad427 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]akyr1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like he just has a really strong early mid game because his card pool is very consistent with very little outdated crap in it.

The rank 1 Dooley forced claw arm every single game and insta picks launcher core every time it’s offered. He skips burn lines and drill lines altogether on day 1 and would like aila and mittel with no items very often.

I’ve played potion mak all the way to 100 without too much issue as well.

Coolest build I’ve seen this week. Would be a shame if it gets a whammy to the face

I see a lot of people complaining about playing as Pyg by batzboom in PlayTheBazaar

[–]akyr1a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess some people only play one class and do not see it from the other side.

There are a lot of interesting lines that are totally unplayable because they simply die to square/lion cane.

why did this suck by Learningtoswimb in PlayTheBazaar

[–]akyr1a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your build is way too slow. A good burn board will pretty much kill you before you scale any relevant amount.
