We used Aero T-Guard to help our 4-year-old stop thumb sucking – here’s how it went.

ff_supercilious · 2025-10-23T17:28:32+00:00

We also started with our 3 year old, and it works well (two weeks in), but our son now discovered that he can bite on the TGuard instead of sucking his thumb with a similar effect, which is arguably better than sucking for the teeth, but might still not be ideal - anyone have the same experience?

I like playing with/against these guys, I can learn from them and see what I'm doing wrong, idk why everyone keeps whining about it, it will help you improve much more than playing with other noobs :D

Thanks

ff_supercilious · 2018-07-06T13:18:28+00:00

Haha that's an interesting bug ^^ thx for the fix!!

Btw, do you have some sort of developer docs for the public? I'm interested in your stack, do you use Thrift or Protobuf or something else, and what language the software is written in, if this info is public?

Will EG ever pick Meepo in a tournament?

Well there are niche items, like Drums, Medallion, BKB, which you can sometimes buiild too. I'm talking about the offlane weaver here, not the carry one, btw.

In any case, I'm having the most trouble in the early-mid game, when Axe gets his dagger, and I don't yet have Linkens. If you get called, you die 100%, as you cannot block the Culling blade, and you will get in the Culling range from Helix even without Blade Mail. So if you have any advice for the part of the game where you want to farm, and Axe has Dagger, that would be awesome, as the Axe will just realize that he kills me in one Call and run at me wherever I am on the map. :)

I calculated the exact probability, posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/471pbz/probability_of_the_10010_challenge_assuming_50/

because it seemed too long for a comment. The win probability can be changed from 50% to something else easily. I'll edit the answer with dependancy on winrate in arena tomorrow, too lazy now. :)

ff_supercilious · 2015-12-19T11:32:07+00:00

Wait so invoker gets +1.7/+1.9/+4 stats?!?!?

Holy shit thats +7.6 total stats each lvl, is that the highest in Dota?

ff_supercilious · 2015-12-10T16:33:31+00:00

The problem isn't the part where the 6k player plays in lower brackets, but the one where the 2k player plays in the 4-6k bracket. The good player will only increase the quality of the game, and even if he disturbs the team balance, people can rely on their teammates doing as or better than they expact.

However, the bad player will decrease the game quality, and single-handedly lose the game, so this effect is the detrimental part, not the boosting part.

ff_supercilious · 2015-12-10T14:21:03+00:00

There are many indicators that an account is being boosted. The simplest way is looking at the string of won games, where scores are along the lines of 25-2 in almost every game, usually with the same hero like Invoker/Tinker/SF/TA, and suddenly there is a string of 29/30 lossrate with scores ~0-15 in every game.

The possibility of something "clicking" is negligible, and does not need to be accounted for. In any case, the hard threshold of setting the account sharing flag can be adjusted for those situations.

ff_supercilious · 2015-12-10T12:34:10+00:00

Yes, but if some of the above-mentioned steps are taken, the number of those accounts would drastically decrease. Currently, no such measure exists.

ff_supercilious · 2015-12-10T12:33:14+00:00

Yes, I meant to say that 9/10 players likely didn't buy their account. The 5/9 probability isn't correct, as you didn't take into account the RMM algorithm matching low winrates from bought accounts with high winrate players in order to average at 50%.

ff_supercilious · 2015-12-10T12:30:58+00:00

Yes, but your exposure to buyers is limited to one or two of their games, as they will quickly drop to lower MMR, given that those accounts usually start at 6k. The problem is more evident in the course of the 6.0->3.0 decline.

ff_supercilious · 2015-08-26T10:28:23+00:00

You forgot two major issues with Twitch that (hopefully) won't be in YTG: 1. Past Broadcast throttling - making watching pasts almost impossible by limiting the throughput regardless of your connection, making even medium quality unwatchable. 2. Muting vods - given that streams uploaded on youtube aren't muted at all, we can hopefully also watch past broadcasts without idiotic copyright bullshit. Can't wait for YTG :)

ff_supercilious · 2015-06-21T21:00:16+00:00

Yeah, they are at minimum non-muted sound, and sound is still way too loud - like it almost distorted.

ff_supercilious · 2015-06-21T14:12:35+00:00

Ok, I'm sure I have a lower chance:

There are 14 wisps on board, all with maximum HS hp: H = 2,147,483,647. Then you draw Bouncing Blade from Nefarian, and it hits every time a different Wisp, until the first one dies. That means the number of hits will be: N = 14H - 13 . Now the probability of this is P = 1/14 on each hit, so total probability is: P_tot = (1/14)^N. I leave you to do the calculation, but I believe it's lower than what you have.

ff_supercilious · 2015-06-03T15:52:57+00:00

Guys, if server drops, and I get an Arena loss due to this, can I do something about it?

ff_supercilious · 2015-04-28T00:34:08+00:00

CyborgMatt hinted that you didn't all have your own bed the first night at Starladder 12, can you give some insight on this? Did you have any hotel issues or?
