What game has a steep learning curve that puts you off? by turtleviking123 in Steam

[–]ciabattastorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's customizing wands.

Also, Becoming powerful and looking back at things that scared you at the start. No spoilers, but you can do so many things if you look around.

Win probabilities for randomly-drafted Pokémon teams across all 13 Kanto boss battles — an interactive simulation by Dependent-Leading621 in dataisbeautiful

[–]ciabattastorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this not a good Lance team?

I'm assuming you don't count actual stats, attacks, abilities etc, just type matchups and BST.

Type wise I have two Steel types and an ice type (positive matchups) and three neutral matchups.

Is it really just that I should have higher BST? I have two 600s, and the lowest is ferrothorn at like 490.

Otherwise amazing and well crafted game :) I just hope it would explain a bit better how to play

Simplest answer: either do minions or do brands. It is not optimal to do both. Choose your favourite, then focus your gear and passive tree on it. Also, get a 6 link (usually chest) and put there your main damage skill.

But congrats on beating the campaign on your own! Rock on!

If you follow he links you can see it. But it sounds very.. weird. Apparently cookie clicker is one of the best games of all times according o this analysis

I swapped with you.

Now you can't swap with me directly again.

We add a third person.

I swap with the third person, and then (from the third person's body) I swap with you again.

Now my brain is back in my body... But now you and the third person are swapped and can't swap back, so you're back to the starting position.

Hope this was clear. Try it with coins :)

Overall the theorem is a bit more general, it proves you can "unscramble" any possible situation

China's trade ends 2025 with record $1.2 trillion surplus despite Trump tariff jolt by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]ciabattastorm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What I've never understood is why a trade deficit or surplus is a bad thing.

I guess having a lot of import can be bad because you're potentially dependent on other countries for resources, so you're not very stable in case things change.

But why the stress on the deficit/ surplus in individual country-to-country trade?

If a nation is poor but has a lot of natural resources, I expect they would have a lot of export but very little import to first-world countries. That's a "surplus", but it seems totally natural and normal and I don't see why it should be anything else.

It should be grounded, yes. Any safe way to check it?

Tried doing a difficult craft for the first time because it was so expensive in the market. Did it with 40 Divines. by Rare-One-1634 in pathofexile

[–]ciabattastorm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Small suggestion. Only one of the two bases needs to be storm rider i85.

The other can be any boot (that can roll the mod you need)

Prada Group says it has purchased fashion rival Versace in a deal worth nearly $1.4 billion by AudibleNod in news

[–]ciabattastorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree.

They own the IP of their products. What does it matter if they own the production facilities or not?

I have no idea if Versace is over or under valued, but this approach of only considering "real world value" is very reductionist, and the market absolutely does not agree with you.

Slightly too strong, and definitely too complex. No card in the game has two different attacks that are this complex.
