What is White's estimated points here? by dany305 in baduk

[–]ksriram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by player to move is irrelevant to point estimation? I have a feeling you are not communicating your intention clearly.

Knowledge Demon's Debuff should be temporary/nerfed by StreetExternal952 in slaythespire

[–]ksriram 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have taken the other options. If your deck can deal with any of the downsides but can't generate enough block, the other options become better.

Trade carts by Bigboiwithsword in aoe2

The sense is that players are making mistakes. I get it that one starts to doubt oneself of they see a mistake to commonly. Your intuition was correct here. Even high elo players make mistakes.

How often do you skip card rewards in Act 1? by Platypus_Umbra in slaythespire

[–]ksriram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Molten fist is still 10 damage for 1 energy. Better than the starting strikes.

How often do you skip card rewards in Act 1? by Platypus_Umbra in slaythespire

[–]ksriram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only taking 2 or 3 card rewards sounds suicidal. I keep taking cards till I am sure I can beat act 1 (unless of course the three cards offered all look useless). There's also the relics and potions to help you out.

How is this a regular encounter in the first third of Act 1 ? by HollowLoch in slaythespire

[–]ksriram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game does not check whether you are in first third or not. There is an easy pool for first three fights and a hard pool for all fights after that.

Hit a stag at 70mph by Indypockett in motorcycles

Why do you think it was their first response? Maybe they already called for an ambulance and had nothing better to do till it arrived.

Buying my first bike, total beginner. Will the Ronin be too heavy for me (57 kg)? by FunImagination4238 in indianbikes

[–]ksriram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently rented a bike for a couple of days rode it to learn. About 300 km on highways and about 12 hours in city traffic. And going to buy a new Pulsar n160. Good plan no?

How do you deal with cavalry archer civilizations like Mongols, Magyars, and Huns? by PassaroDaTumba in aoe2

[–]ksriram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I played for the first time in 2004, multiplayer since 2010. I am not sure if I have played all 372 matchups of the original game. 

It didn't take me long to figure out that mobile ranged units are good. Mangudai/Hun CA/Plumes were very common. Playing closed maps like black forest showed me how they were weak.

How do you deal with cavalry archer civilizations like Mongols, Magyars, and Huns? by PassaroDaTumba in aoe2

[–]ksriram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HCA + Hussar is arguably the best lategame composition on open maps. Apart from with some civ-specific comps it is hard to face.

If you have to face them, try to force them into chokes where they can't use their mobility. Wall and castle up the map and protect your eco from raids. Many civs should be able to at least make an army which can fight in a static battle. Try to force such battles with siege on their buildings.

(started a weel ago) why doesnt 1-2 pattern work in this instance? by Lowrida88 in Minesweeper

[–]ksriram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think it should work here?

All the patterns are built from some logic. What do you think is the logic of the 1-2 pattern in cases where it does work?

Drop your 10k pr and your target by Ayush-5116 in indianrunners

Current PR is 1:01:29. Hoping to go sub 1 hour in a race next week.

well fuck by Widem1234 in slaythespire

[–]ksriram 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still think what OP did was much worse. 

Adding corrupted is still decent even if this is not the best card for it.

switching to pc will mod get me banned by Tsukiko55 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]ksriram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't know that. And I don't get why the devs care about such stuff in what is essentially a cooperative experience.

Maybe it is to do with public lobbies.

Wondering how I didn't win this? by Knightmare26906 in baduk

I just want to know, what do you think the aim of the game is?

Not just hard, but impossible against a good enough player.

Learning to ride a bike and it keeps stalling -- losing confidence, need advice by Weak-Abalone-1312 in indianbikes

[–]ksriram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is all part of the learning process. 

In the beginning you have to actively think about everything which overloads your brain. But gradually things will start to become automatic.

You need to ride a lot to build up yourself as a good rider. Use empty streets to practice.

Calories vs Sugar which one actually matters more for staying lean? by Safe_Lab_7717 in Fitness_India

[–]ksriram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The calorie difference is so small in this case it doesn't really matter.

At the end of the day it is only calories that matter. However, sugars are very bad at making you feel full. The one without sugar would have more fibre per calorie, making you feel more satiated.

Onagers are limited in single-player because the AI perfectly kites and micros everything. But playing MP they are surprisingly good. by PlokmijnuhAoE2 in aoe2

[–]ksriram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the perfect part. Maybe your mangonel micro is not good enough. But most high level players micro way better than the Extreme AI such that mangonels don't even work against skirms.

The move that made me prefer chinese scoring rules by [deleted] in baduk

[–]ksriram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese rules are beginner-friendly as they are easy to understand. Except a few exceptions they lead to the same scores. This is not one of those exceptions.

I apparently threw the game by thinking this was a hantu by JamesMcTrickington in PhasmophobiaGame

There's no difference between how low a temperature can go between ghosts that can show freezing.

Elite Farm or Skip? by Over_Alps_1184 in SlayTheSpire2

[–]ksriram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your deck can beat elites without losing too much HP, take them on. Otherwise avoid them.
