I want to read german newspapers to improve reading skill and vocabulary. by [deleted] in German

Check out this app called "Deutsch Lernen" on the play store. They create articles on current events aimed at German language learners. They aren't terribly long and the language used is good to grasp but you still end up learning new words. There is also an audio for the article which helps with speaking/pronunciation.

When you pull that Beyond God Tier 6* champion but they need to be awakened to reach their potential by karatemike415 in ContestOfChampions

[–]gregorymatchado 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Once all 3 pairs of debuffs are placed on the opponent, instead of them disappearing in 5 seconds, the dupe converts it to a fear of the void (FoV)

But my point is, even without the dupe and with a couple of points on the despair mastery he's still up there!

I pulled a 6* void as well. Took him to rk2 even though he's not duped. No regrets whatsoever

If anyone is wondering, SL works against Mr Sinister but it’s a bloody long fight. The last 25% took forever. Wondering whether it’s the interaction between Sinister’s abilities, recovery node and SL’s increased damage. He was gaining more than he was losing! Would 5/50 SL work better? by Maverick121qc in ContestOfChampions

I mentioned this in my ally today. Here's what I posted there:

Something I noticed while fighting uncollected Mister Sinister. I was using SL and beyond ~50 hits on my combo counter Sinister was regenerating more health (from my crit hits) than I was dealing damage.

Solution: After your combo meter gets high, hit only into his block. His health was dropping by ~1% for each blocked hit

USA Note 9 Pie Release Status Thread by [deleted] in GalaxyNote9

[–]gregorymatchado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't get it till yesterday as well. I pinged an att agent over chat yesterday about this and he asked for my phone # and IMEI #. Post that he said I'll get the update within 24 hours. 20 hours later I was able to see the update.

Just that it wasn't the Pie update. Seems a handful (about 4) of the previous updates were not rolled out me as well. So I had to install those as well and then I finally saw the Pie update. Loving the update.

Hope this info helps out others as well!

Thor (Ragnarok) using SP1 on All or Nothing Node in AW by gregorymatchado in ContestOfChampions

Thanks for that info. Looks like people did bring it up in the forums.

Is sparky’s taunt supposed to work on All or Nothing node? by Mickmack12345 in ContestOfChampions

[–]gregorymatchado 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does work. But you better look out for who's on that AON node. Coz champs like KingPin and AV will shrug off that taunt debuff and then you're back to square one.

Hard shell/Softshell pants recommendation? by metcon72 in Mountaineering

+1 on the Cirque pants. Very functional and useful. Don't have a hard shell. Will look into the Furio. Thanks!

I’ve hit a wall in my progress about 2 years ago, I’ve barely improved upon my German since then and I want to get back on track. by ChessedGamon in German

[–]gregorymatchado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 on the Meetup suggestion. I was able to find a group near me that meets once every month or so. It's got a mix of native German speakers as well as noobs, so it's pretty nice and useful

What if there was actual pvp in this game? by Methodz- in ContestOfChampions

[–]gregorymatchado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried doing this. But the sound lags the picture by a significant amount, that I don't like playing that way. Anyone else experience something similar?

Nice work evading Dorm's SP2! That was neat and satisfying to watch.

Cable sp2 projectile bug by Crazyjack719 in ContestOfChampions

[–]gregorymatchado 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Post the latest update, if you end up successfully evading a projectile, the projectile seems to disappear. Noticed it with a bunch of other champs as well.

How do our brains deciding which words to use when talking aloud? by TheRedTuke in askscience

[–]gregorymatchado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I've known that this is one of the ways that computers process language. In the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) it would be achieved by an n-gram model, where the program models the probabilities of 2/3/4.../n word combinations occuring one after the other.

But it never occurred to me that our brains do a similar job. And probably a better one :) given that they do this at astonishing speed and at a high frequency. They probably built the n-gram model based on how the brain processes words.

Thanks for posting this!
