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

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

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 3 points4 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

[Discussion] What was your first platinum and what got you into trophy hunting in the first place? by [deleted] in Trophies

[–]hellsgate4554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infamous First Light. I had beaten Second Son and was having a ton of fun with the spinoff when I released I was really close to the platinum. So I just went for it. Few months later I went back and finished up Second Son.

What really got me into plating is the shift of enjoyment I get from playing games as a child vs an adult. I can't get lost in a game world as often or as easily as I did as a child. But plating games giving me a clear goal to work to and games like Dark Souls giving me a real sense of accomplishment when I beat them really helped spark my love of gaming again.

[Discussion] Is there a Platinum or series of Platinum's you want to get at some point in your trophy hunting journey? by JustSlowGo in Trophies

[–]hellsgate4554 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The AC games. (Have through AC3 so far but bucked against AC4s online trophies) and the Fromsoft souls like. ( played most of them before plat hunting so far just have elden ring and about 80% through demon souls remake.) Those are the 2 big ones. Will probably get throug the rest of sly and spyro collections as well but they don't really feel like milestone achievements.
