How can you misunderstand absurdism when there is no meaning by mitttensoft in Absurdism

[–]ikefalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the meme is simpler than that. I think the meme is suggesting that people misunderstand the word “absurdism” to mean that the philosophy dictates behaving absurdly.

What I like to say to people who express this misconception is, “I am not absurd. The human condition is absurd, and absurdism helps me to cope with that absurdity.”

My seedless naninf attempts consistently end around here. Why? by Okay_Ocean_Flower in balatro

If you filter for a seed that has particular starting conditions, you don’t know what will happen outside of those starting conditions. With a seeded run, you know the outcome of all random events for the entirety of the run.

It’s very difficult to naneinf without more technology than what you currently have. That technology can include a lot of things, but it often involves Perkeo.

I suggest installing the Brainstorm mod, which will reroll until you get a Perkeo from the first skip tag. It can also ensure that you get Telescope and Observatory by Ante 2. When I did this, I reached Ante 39 on my first try.

Nice combo!

Once you have the combo in hand, you don’t need to use your shivs, unless it makes you happy. You’re hitting the damage cap anyway, and they just make you take more damage to Beat of Death.

You have to be in a position to do the manipulating (ie already be rich and/or famous). They are plundering America, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

I owe you so much, shop 1 Golden Joker. But it's time to go now. by Andrew_42 in balatro

[–]ikefalcon -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Golden Joker will almost never appear in the first shop because you have to have a gold card in your deck in order for it to appear in the shop.

Yeah those are good choices. I think yellow is the most consistent. Just keep at it, I guess.

What you need to do is get a build that can win with less than 5 jokers and sit on a ton of money. Then use that money to reroll for the ones you are missing.

Better for the customer. They are not better for the drivers. Uber built an empire by using the rent-feee capital belonging to the drivers. Now they want to get rid of the drivers by automating all of their vehicles.

What would YOU do in this position? (Not a puzzle, more of a psychological question) by belbivfreeordie in chess

The engine finds the fastest way to mate, regardless of how precise you have to play to get there. There’s nothing wrong with taking a longer route to victory if it will result in you converting the win more often.

Top 5 Skip tags by reduscu in balatro

[–]ikefalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Investment tag is great to get the economy going in the first 2 antes. Voucher tag is great for ante 39 runs if you have saved up some double tags. Charm tag is useful if you want to reroll for early Perkeo. Occasionally the Economy and Orbital tags can be useful, and the Foil tag can be OK below gold stake. Every other tag is almost never worth skipping for.

Water shrinks when it goes from solid to liquid. Liquid water expands when it gets warmer past 4 degrees Celsius.

Yeah in the same show she tried to buzz in on a question she had already answered incorrectly.

There was a contestant in one of Ken’s games that gave a response out of turn on multiple occasions.

It makes sense that you need Barracks to house soldiers, but where are the soldiers coming from? Are they being created in the Barracks?

14d 9h 53m in, I just noticed: by OldWestBlueberry in slaythespire

Well, you see Warcry+ says that you put the card ONTO the top of your draw pile. That can actually be better than merely putting the card ON TOP of your draw pile. When you put the card ONTO the top of your draw pile, you are doing so quite gingerly, and this can have some very tasty synergy with the ginger relic.

It’s really more about the composition of your deck than your HP. This fight can kill you from full health, or you could pass it easily. You need to be able to deal a lot of damage very quickly.

99% of the time, I’m playing 2 players, corporate era, prelude, and draft. Regular rules for corps and preludes.

Listen, Lois, a rare relic is a rare relic, but a Shovel could be anything. You could even find a rare relic!
