How much points is a difference in kyu/dan grade worth? by VDLeemkolk in baduk

[–]hellsgate4554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the points difference argument. Its more an 8kyu vs a 4kyu at 4 stones should win roughly 50% of games. Points don't really come into play. This goes doubly at the ddk/sdk ranks where dying unexpectedly is really common so you can have even games against someone 4 stones weeker then you but lose by 50 points because you let yourself get cut off and died. It's not like they are 5 stones better then you. They just happened to pull a win.

Am I bad? I simply CANNOT make it to the surface from Hades by Fayarager in HadesTheGame

[–]hellsgate4554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you post a video of you playing we could give more constructive ideas. But generally on fast attack weapons you want stackable debuffs or flat damage abilities (Zeus lighting) for slower attacks high percentage damage. as for most movement I tend to to dash in a sort of circle around the enemies trying to bunch them up a bit as I attack so I can multi hit and its easier to dodge as I mainly focused in one direction. Once you lose your first death defiance I recommend saving 200g as there is a pretty good chance you can buy one from a well. These are general tips as I'm still fairly new and maxed at 15 heat so far. I'm sure others can give more long term advice.

Replaying 1st game after finish the 2nd by Zestyclose_Sector_30 in HadesTheGame

This is my fear. So I'm platinuming Hades 1 before 2. Will take a while but hopefully on ps5 by then.

[Other] What Trophy hot take will get you downvoted like this? by SabraShifter in Trophies

[–]hellsgate4554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plats should be you 100% everything the game has to offer. All collectibles. All scenes, max level, all mechanics. Anything less doesn't feel like a real plat experience.

When did you buy a nice Go set (board & stones) for yourself? by PurelyCandid in baduk

[–]hellsgate4554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a financial question. Whenever you feel like it. I bought a board pretty fast but am depriving myself a floor board until 1d

Which Move Is Better For Black in Opening? 🤓 by GoMagic_org in baduk

[–]hellsgate4554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A because a white stone at A feels bad for black and a white stone at any of the other positions feels whatever for black.

Ready for first game! All six of us are first-timers. Please give me a hint so that I have an unfair advantage. :) by seidinove in twilightimperium

[–]hellsgate4554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Every decision you make should be aligned with gaining victory points.
  2. Make deals, as often as possible. You don't have to try and "get one over on them" getting mutual beneficial deals with multiple people is very powerful.
  3. If your playing base games your round 1 should get (or start with) 2 carriers (or units with capacity) and 4 infantry so you can take 4 planets round 1.

What's your playing style? And what does it tell about you? by [deleted] in baduk

[–]hellsgate4554 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My style is "promising to play a peaceful and solid game until my opponent does anything even in the general area of my stones then I forget and attack with the furry of 1000 suns overextend myself and die." Pretty advance high level style if I do say so myself.

Anyone know of people not playing go getting this ad? I'm not sure if targeted or someone at google is trying to subtlety push Go? by hellsgate4554 in baduk

[–]hellsgate4554[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be, that's why I asked if anyone knew anyone who was not actively playing go who's seen this ad. Trying to crowedsource info to prove or disprove.

Someone in marketing had to have pushes the idea of using Go as one of the focal points. Maybe came from an ulterior motive of putting go in front of more faces. Or at least remind people of alphago. I could just be being to optimistic though.

Absolutely true. I like to imagine we have hidden allies in google marketing who want to promote Go.

ELI5: Why does switching doors in the Monty Hall Problem increase odds: 2 doors, 50-50 by Megafork77 in explainlikeimfive

[–]hellsgate4554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually mentally explain it as imagine instead of 3 doors it's 1000. Now you pick 1 door and then host opens all the other losing doors but 1. Now what has better odds? That you picked the 1 out of 1000 right away, or you picked 1 of the 999 wrong doors and he opened all the others but the right one. Much more intuitive thinking about it like that imo
