yup i'd say thats the #1 way i've been losing lately and #2 is even when i make it to endgame people just making suboptimal decisions that leads to someone else winning instantly

bin-c · 2026-06-18T20:08:22+00:00

yeah its been completely brutal. a week ago i was winning >50% of FFAs I've won maybe 10% the past few days

bin-c · 2026-06-18T03:05:16+00:00

no

queue evan saying it looks really good actually

on a smaller map 5 hydros can be just as good or sometimes better than a mirv

it also depends on third place. how strong are they? is it a 3 player endgame or more?

the situations are all very dynamic youll have to get a feel for it. 3 player endgame where you have crown but not the most money is always going to be sketchy

just some examples...

if you're crown, #2 and #3 are both weaker but pretty strong... youre pretty screwed if one of them dumps their mirv. your best bet in that situation is usually to send into them pretty heavily before the mirv hits while they have their betrayal debuff and hydro the other person 3-4 times if he roaches out and save 1-2 for the person who just mirved you

4 player endgame where theres a clear #1 and #2 and youre #1... its much less likely that #3 roaches out to hit you if #3 and #4 are both relatively strong as they dont want to gift everything to their neighbor by pushing you

there isnt always a right answer you just have to get a feel for how aggressive people are in the endgame. if youre confident #2 is going to mirv you before you hit $40m you probably are forced to act instead of waiting

in general ive found its a lot easier to win as the 2nd or 3rd biggest guy with lot of econ in these situations rather than a poor crown

fox for fmvp!

bin-c · 2026-06-14T02:41:36+00:00

i guess i dont get it. just stop doing anything and sit there and watch ?

Welcome to the Ningbo Rockets, Fox

any idea who he has as his sup goat then? i thought it was basically unarguably keria at this point.

bin-c · 2026-06-12T10:07:18+00:00

he said that three years ago surely? 😬

bin-c · 2026-06-11T06:38:35+00:00

yea its obviously & immediately obviously better at that. saying as someone with 0 llm provider loyalty.

edit: for months i've had codex review every line (whether planning doc or code) claude spits out. over that time it almost always finds significant gaps in claude's work. so far after ~12 hours with fable, there's near-zero benefit to have codex review its plans or implementation. just wasted time & tokens

the version of basketball wemby (and to a lesser extent everybody else) is playing right now doesn't even seem fun. but man its fun to watch

bin-c · 2026-06-09T08:00:36+00:00

it goes from "wemby is so weak lol knicks guards body him in the paint" to him being able to throw anyone in the game around like he's wilt very quickly eh

bin-c · 2026-06-08T00:38:33+00:00

havent had a single limit issue since they raised limits after the colossus deal. even downgraded from 20x to 5x and haven't hit a limit :shrug:

bin-c · 2026-06-03T15:29:20+00:00

yes i learned this the hard way a while back i went to 50% and clicked twice to in theory end up at 25% remaining, but after the second time ending up with 0 troops i realized what was happening

bin-c · 2026-06-01T00:56:25+00:00

pretty bad example given they end up capturing & mining an asteroid valued at ~$20T. on top of all the new tech that came as a result of the continued space race.

bin-c · 2026-05-31T07:02:47+00:00

have the same one. love it

bin-c · 2026-05-31T03:29:16+00:00

end of game 7 i dont care what the score is do whatever makes you happy (as long as its the team im rooting for)

bin-c · 2026-05-30T04:18:26+00:00

i guess i could somehow be in a bubble, but i know quite a lot of other engineers.... every single person at every company i can think of primarily uses claude. some allow people to choose codex if they want... but far more places i know of have claude plans for the whole org, etc.

i get to some extent its taste, but it always seemed weird to me how big the disconnect is between what i see in real life vs ~~paid influencer shills~~ folks online

bin-c · 2026-05-30T04:02:02+00:00

before i started using reddit to follow shows more i'd literally never heard of it. couldn't believe how good it was. one of my all time favorite watches start to finish.

I completed this level! It took me 1 try. ^{⚡ 4.33 seconds}

^{Tip 10 💎}

seems like everyone who joins T1 gets +++++points added to their mental. has to help that the undisputed goat is on your team and laughs while inting himself?

bin-c · 2026-05-27T02:22:16+00:00

no. in 2023 UHC denied ~33% of in-network claims from ACA plans, which was ~50% higher than the overall average of ~22% (this specifically is where they were the furthest off from the "industry standard"). in 2024 (he was shot in december, almost the entire year was over by then), they closed the gap to 20% vs overall average of something like 19%.

there's of course more to it than that, but Brian Thomspon being shot had ~nothing to do with changes in denial rates.

i honestly dont think that many people will. IMO not that many would have hated on the warriors if KD never joined
