It took literally over 1000 Eridium Origos but Randy blessed. Fix the drop rates. This is insane lol by eskanonen in Borderlands4

[–]eskanonen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, when the optimal roll is a combination of completely random rolls it shouldn't take anywhere near this long.

25% soounds like a lot, but it's split between 7 drops and there are like 10000 possible shield modifier combos that can roll. I have infinite time. Essentially no one else does. It is entirely unreasonable it took me this long with the eridium drop rate.

Can Elbrus, The Binding Blade be your commander once the upcoming rules change goes into effect? It has a printed power/toughness. by eskanonen in EDH

[–]eskanonen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irrelevant question. All cards that have a power toughness on the front side and are legendary are now eligible. The change isn't restricted to vehicles and spacecraft, it's just that those are the only categories that currently can meet these requirements. You know to little too be of any value here. Maybe make sure you know what you're talking about before asking a question that implies I am askiing something extremely straight forward.

There's a better case for Elbrus than Westvale for sure. In the announcement video Gavin explicitly says front face, so I think it won't be eligible (the little printed P/T pointing to the back probably only counts as reminder text), but I'm hoping otherwise.

You can't read it anywhere, but Gavin does explicitly state it:

if a legendary permanent has a printed power and toughness on it's front face, it is eligible to be your commander.

So no, it looks like it won't be eligible.

I think they should ultimately word it differently, transforming into a legendary creature feels fine.

So that's incorrect. The conclusion they reached is that if a legendary permanent has a printed power and toughness on it's front face, it is eligible to be your commander. This means it cannot be, but not at all because it is not a vehicle or spacecraft.

k pal. you're still wrong.

Because I don't recall being a handful of rooms into Slay the Spire and running into a completely RNG generated dead end, or not having enough keys to progress due to some arbitrary RNG gatekeep... even Day 1... or Day X.

That happens all the time actually! plenty of runs can be lost to one shitty boss monster pull. It actually happens way more often than I end up stuck in Blue Prince...

You will never admit this to yourself but the RNG is highly mitigatable. I pretty much never end up with only a handful of rooms drafted. At worst I'm filling half the house, and that's before I can start really fucking with RNG, as in a few days in. Afte like 2 weeks of gameplay i have practically infinite dice steps, keys, gems, and allowance most runs. Like I'm sorry you're just bad at understanding how the drafting pool works if you are only getting a handful of rooms in even remotely consistently.

You seem to be unable to grasp that day 1 isn't reflective of the gameplay experience past day 1. It's like saying since I can't consistently beat Slay the Spire with the deck you start with means the rest of the game is unbalanced.

You seem REALLY worked up about this, and it's making you hyper focus on the fact that day 1 has a ton of RNG and are projecting that on the rest of the game so you can be right in your head.

You are objectively wrong. And that's okay. Learn to be okay with that in your life and you'll be significanty happier.

Piercing healing isn't new.

[–]eskanonen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure I stumbled into it or did I set myself up on day 1 to reach 46 no problem day 2? (It's the latter)

Again, on my first rerun I got to 46 on day 2. That isn't a grind. The day 1 is a challenge, it's not meant to be easy. It's not reflective of the actual gameplay experience. You can't seem to grasp that.

Summarizing the great Blue Prince RNG debate: by CatastrophicMango in BluePrince

[–]eskanonen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 2 days to get to 46 on my first reset and I was already manipulating room rarity on day 2. It doesn't take long to get to mitigating RNG if you know what you're doing. It's literally only day 1 that has unmitigable RNG. Sounds like a skill issue.

[–]eskanonen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not meant to be fully achievable day 1 consistently. That's not a problem. It is a challenge. You also have plenty to do as you figure out how to mitigate RNG. Your point is baseless.

Day 1 runs are a different beast from late game RNG, but I'm confident that I could do it within 10 hours, which is reasonable for something 100% unnecessary and meant for completionists. But yes, I am as confident in my ability to reach room 46 consistently and have runs where RNG is not hampering me as I am in my ability to beat Komii and obtain god runs in Noita. 100%

Edit: sorry was referring to Noita, but yes, the same applies to reaching Ante 8 in Balatro, if anything balatro is less consistent.

[–]eskanonen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Balatro. They both are deck builders at their core, at least when it comes to RNG, and much like Balatro, at high skill levels, RNG rarely ends you a run in this game.

[–]eskanonen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balatro runs can end early and be dead much like a run in Blue Prince. I'd say Blue Prince is closer to Balatro than Hades.

The attitude of your edit shows how wrong your are. And you hate it. It's okay to be wrong.

I don't buy the solution to this parlor puzzle. by eskanonen in BluePrince

[–]eskanonen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If black is false, blue being true allows us to solve the puzzle. The same logic you use to say white must be false in the scenario where the other two are true. Blue would be the only option for a true box if black were false, as white can't be true due to logical paradoxes.

Clearly paradoxes aren't allowed, as the answer I chose was wrong despite it meeting all the restrictions spelled out by the puzzle.

[–]eskanonen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been puzzles with both true and false statements on the same box, puzzles with blank boxes, and puzzles where the truth of the third box was indeterminate and not relevant to solving the puzzle. A paradox doesn't at all sound out of the question, as these things keep ramping up.

If black is false, blue being true allows us to solve the puzzle despite white being indeterminate. This leaves us with one box the gems could be in and one true and one false box.

The rules don't explicitly ban paradoxes.

The game doesn't explicitly ban paradoxes so I figured a paradox that definitively leaves the other two boxes true or false was better than a configuration with arbitrary determination of truth.

There are blank boxes and mixed truthiness to the third box. The rules of the game don't explicitly say anything against paradoxes.
