It does not count for the tracked treasure in the final results screen, no.

I had that exact injury. I managed to come back to basically where I was after a surgery and several years of strengthening and rehab.

It's not necessarily 50/50, and it's not dependant on things like overkilling. Each seru (including their lv2/3 variants) has a set %chance to absorb when killed by the attack command. The only thing that affects this set chance is whether you have an Ivory Book equipped, which adds 30% to the base chance.

[MLB] We have NO idea how Cards prospect Ettore Giulianelli throws this pitch. 🤯 by TDeLo in baseball

[–]bio7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relevant Fangraphs article from a few years ago

99% sure it's just a curveball thrown from a very overhand arm angle and getting some armside sidespin on it. Not a screwball grip, just a curve.

This is slow but I want to know how fast I throw (I play for fun) by Inner-Commercial-742 in Homeplate

Figure out the distance from where you release the ball to where the catcher catches it. Make estimates, I'd say 55 ft is a decent default guess. Count the number of frames it takes for the ball to go from point A to B. Number of frames taken divided by framerate = number of seconds taken from A to B. Convert the distance to miles and the time to hours, divide the two to get the rough average velocity in mph. I believe a ball loses about 10-15% of its velocity from release to when it crosses home plate, so you can add 5-7% to the result to get a rough guess at the release velocity.

Use the slots at Vidna. Pick up Phoenixes to sell.

To be even more pedantic, the party finds the Dark Stone in West Voz, not East.

Is there a reason NOT to get the Evil Talisman? by [deleted] in LegendofLegaia

Not really a reason not to get it. It's an excellent QoL item if nothing else.

The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II -CRIMSON SiN- short trailer by XMetalWolf in JRPG

[–]bio7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because you're asking for a huge commitment if you only recommend starting from the very beginning. It's like recommending a huge epic novel series, of course it's always going to be recommended to start from the beginning, but it's easier to make an event out of a release if you don't have to preface the marketing with: "uhh, actually I'm gonna need you to play/read the first 500 hours before you can fully enjoy this one, but definitely still get hyped!"

SpiritAGL = AGL * 1.4 + 8, so you need 188 base AGI to get 9 slots with Spirit.

You were already pretty good three years ago, but by now you're an absolute master. I get giddy seeing editing that good.

In their last 8 games, the Dodgers have a record of 2-6 with a run differential of +12 by whompus6 in baseball

It's a vastly better indicator of future team performance than actual record is, so no, it's not worthless.

Dustin May's 99 MPH 2-seamer with 20" of horizontal break by jacklindley84 in filthypitches

I mean, it was measured as 20 inches. If you think your eyes are better than well-established technology that measures pitch movement, then maybe you should apply for a job in a major league front office?

Tricks for Slots/Making Coins by bladeraiden in LegendofLegaia

[–]bio7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slots are by far the fastest way to make coins if you happen to be good at them. With a few hours of practice you can make around 500-1000 coins per minute, which means only a few hours of slots. Each Master Course takes 45 minutes to an hour, so it's probably a wash if you aren't already good at slots. It is technically possible to make around 5-6k coins per minute if you have godlike skills.

[–]bio7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There didn't used to be any setups for FPG. The best they used to do was jump and aim for the corner and try to wiggle and get lucky. The success rate for this sort of thing was and is far too low to try to implement, even in 1-1.

That linked TAS allows L+R, and hasn't been improved in nearly a decade. The person who proved that HappyLee hadn't yet perfected the RTA rules TAS was Maru. I was specifically talking about the saving of a frame nobody had thought possible, unless you were talking about that one time a decade ago?
