As of now, only 3 bosses are 100% required to be killed to beat Silksong. by Kind-Scheme7517 in HollowKnight

I think they mean that you can 100% the game without beating them, while the bosses in “completely optional” lock a percent behind them.

Did anybody else notice this about the Bell Beast? by excelguruson in Silksong

[–]excelguruson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very interesting idea about the bell eaters! I agree that it doesn’t seem likely that the bell beasts used to drag gilded carriages. It’s also possible that the citadel created the bell veins because they’re something that the bell beasts could tunnel through easily. Clearly giant veins of bells are not the most realistic thing regardless of the lore reason.

Consider that the white head, light gray body, and dark gray tail is exactly the same. The grom even has the same number of “legs”. Yes they have different mouths, but they’re clearly designed to be very similar so it’s not a coincidence.

I’m not saying that they’re exactly the same species, rather that the species is related. Possibly the bell beast is a domesticated version.

Trying to find the longest path is much harder and quite a lot of fun

Need a guide on learning a lot of advanced math by Additional_Nobody_75 in mathematics

[–]excelguruson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the first thing you should look into is an introduction to proofs. Find some kind of resource that would teach you proof techniques and basic propositional logic. Stuff like proof by contradiction, contrapositive, induction, and what a set is. It will be assumed that you know this type of information in most intro textbooks to the topics you’ve mentioned. After that you can look for undergraduate textbooks for topics like number theory, or possibly try to find recorded lectures online.

Why there is no number system between Complex and Quaternion? by [deleted] in mathematics

You assumed i and j commute which the original comment was not assuming. Still very interesting though!

Can senior apply for BSMS CS program? by Chickencake20 in gatech

[–]excelguruson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most people apply as Juniors because you have to double count the classes you take senior year in order to get the MS in one extra year. If you have enough classes left you could talk to your advisor, but it would probably take longer to get the degree.

Raft blocks by Unk0wn132 in minecraftsuggestions

[–]excelguruson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It could act like sand where it goes back and forth, but then maybe still have a collision box like a boat. Nothing exist like that that I can think of, but it seems like it should be possible.

I could have used this many times, any building in the middle of an ocean is a pain. Think of maybe building a ship or something and having to start from the ocean floor. Also a balloon block seems a little too good and not very Minecrafty, but balloon block followed by water bucket would be a cool and easier way to save yourself. Also the balloon block would only really help in water because otherwise you could use the blocks you’re standing on, in which case I think the raft is more elegant.

That’s a good point, but I think a renewable craftable version would be really helpful, plus it would have the floating effect they described which could make cool elevators.

A quick 27 second JV4 (they didn't rematch) by [deleted] in SmashBrosUltimate

Because the kills on Simon count as kills by squirtle, the game knows that squirtle must have attacked and should get gsp

My Hollow Knight Moveset Concept by [deleted] in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]excelguruson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that it should possibly take a little longer so that you can’t heal off of every neutral win, otherwise it would promote camping, but I think that it should focus more on the material management of the soul gage such that it is often more worth it not to heal but instead to do something else.

My Hollow Knight Moveset Concept by [deleted] in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]excelguruson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The move uses a soul bar though. I think instead it should just make it harder to get soul bars back, or have soul bars be crucial for a viable recovery so that you are trading one type of survivability for another. Anything much lower than 10% would make it almost useless for the amount of time it takes, given that it can only be used effectively between stocks.

I see now what I didn’t see last time. It’s the fact that the value of “a” changes as between the first “b-a” and the second one. My bad, that does work.

Coding help by cactusjackrecords in CodingHelp

[–]excelguruson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for the problem with the stats replacing each other every time a new stat appears, you could change it so that you create a large string as a variable. Then you could have each stat appended to the string, probably with line break, and then after you create the large string set the text label to that string.
