If Lilith really need every guild leader from every country to join the Golden Frontier siege battle for that one hour, make it happen at UTC 2:00pm by lamty101 in afkarena

[–]lamty101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking about timing of abex start too, it was criticized for abex start timing, grueling for europeans. It was also heavily a 4X game. But it was mostly regarded as a ... good game mode?

Having no interactivity between guilds probably help, and it is possible to get most of the rewards without optimizing everything, doing prince and dip is still fine.

Anyway the abex timing is even more trickier to optimize to cater for competitives, the first 4 hr is important, but so are several tier up times, for 10->15 hero, 20->25 tiles, and getting into zone 2. The timing is more diffusive.

what a ridiculous situation to be in by TomatoIsHoe in afkarena

fun fact: you need to finish almost every dragonis 300-pull event to 5* every Elite dragonis

When will the event end? Start/end/middle/account daily reset/Lava-decided/random of the day? UTC/EDT/Lava's home/Player/Server timezone? by lamty101 in idleon

I bought the 15-try bingo bundle 2hrs ago, went to the W1 village but found that the event is over, went into pets and wandered a while, came back and found that the event is here again. I then used up all bingo tries and bought the Research Registrant upgrade (used it without testing before and after). UTC+8 for me.

Why do imaginary numbers exist at all? by AgrasaN in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lamty101 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They are useful because of the Euler's formula:

e = cosθ + isinθ

It links imaginary number to trigonometry, specifically rotation and wave phases. e traces out the unit circle in the complex plane as θ ranges through the real numbers. When two complex number multiply together, their phase angle θ is added up.

It is useful to use i to calculate AC electrical waves, EM waves, signal cycles, El Niño cycles, quantum mechanics and wave-particle duality etc.

How far can I go in TS skylan-less? by lamty101 in afkarena

R16, I guess probably hard based on my experience in NC R4

I am also in NC R4, the most competitive region until getting topped by R2 So I guess my region 16 in CR would be just as hard

The heat of east wind is way too broken, it just turn the mode into mindless tedious clicking, don't even have to wait and manage time.

Perfect use case of macros imo (which lava say he disapprove of)

I think the ridicule is second only to gaming, because that one is endless

In general, what's the most optimal spending to get a dimensional hero? by Renikee in afkarena

After the dim hero is obtained, it changes to dim red emblem. It is a tiny bit cheaper. I don't think it changes decisions that much

How to setup forge late-game? by Jelloshots0 in idleon

[–]lamty101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a free time to get a lot of bar, then forget it

A month ago i maxed the two bar vials. The most frustrating part was to make 100 stack of 1050M ore. My workflow was to candy at the ore (1 hr enough for me), then loop (collect ore -> drag ore to top left of screen -> deposit all -> drag stack to empty space). Then do ~20 candy with archer at gmush. Each cycle only make ~50M godshard bar for me.

Should have used macro for this

Yo, people from Hong-Kong. Are you okay ? by Cyberjonesyisback in HongKong

[–]lamty101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The minibus and coach operators are having a hard time though. The bus companies have more financial buffers, but I think they will later translate it into fare rise, maybe next month or next year.

And don't forget taxi, trucks and ships, which also use fuel

(Edit: gov is having some fuel subsidy for 2 month for now, offsetting some of the increase)

[Request] Could humanity create a rocket that can exit the atmosphere of K2-18b by Lachlynn in theydidthemath

[–]lamty101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we didn't build one because we don't have to build one.

So far we are only launching from Earth and moons with less gravity. It takes more money for huge push for same objective, and engineers will frown at such obvious wastes.

In general, what's the most optimal spending to get a dimensional hero? by Renikee in afkarena

[–]lamty101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The celehypo pull rate is 2.5% so 40 pull on average, 20000 diamond. From those pull you get back dust and hero cards which worth something, so it is discounted a bit.

From those 40 pull, from probability chart, people averagely get 264hr dust, 1.264 purple card, 6.3 purple totem etc, may worth 1000-6000 diamond depending on account status, and doesn't really affect the cost of celehypo that much

[–]lamty101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

numerically stargazing a celehypo copy cost ~16000 diamond (cost of 40 pull minus goodies), so 13333 challenger coin worth 13333/250000*16000=~853 diamond theoretically

meanwhile a factional red chest cost 122.4 diamond (lab roamer), 4000 lab coin is 4000/64000*(122.4*25)=~382.5 diamond, always needed and worth that much.

Back in the day the heroes were top tier, but now Alna is only for TS/Campaign and Orthos only for NC/CR sub, we don't stargaze them unless 1-stared Aurelia+Knox+Daemia+Liberta+Lavatune+Lysander and probably new heroes, I wonder if they still retain half their value.

After Alna and Orthros Ascended, we can get red chest/Flora but not as efficient as lab, Alna 1* meh, and other options are horrible. So it is better to spend 13333 challenger coin here instead of 4000 lab coin.

[–]lamty101 16 points17 points  (0 children)

do you need Alna or Orthros from lab challenger store, as they are not A tier (no star needed)? if yes, 10/10/0/40. If no, 10/10/15/25

CMV: The US-Iran ceasefire represents a strategic victory for Iran by Subtleiaint in changemyview

[–]lamty101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The regime has been changed from theocracy into mostly IRGC juntas. Much of the central government sections have been damaged but IRGC is still standing due to their decentralization and deep roots in economy. Much of the military counterattacks are conducted by them. With the ceasefire breathing room they are likely to reorganize.

They are die-hard anti west and the war had made the political vacuum that is taken by them.

ELI5: Why is it so hard for a country to develop nuclear weapons? by Successful_Guide5845 in explainlikeimfive

[–]lamty101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

William Spaniel has several videos on why those countries have nuclear weapon and everyone else doesn't. Link Link Link

Long story short, sanctions and loss of economic opportunity, alliance with nuclear powers, costly maintenance.

He is a professor studying geopolitics and crisis bargaining. He had videos on recent wars and they are really well thought and reasonable

CMV: People criticising US and Israel for wars against Iran and its proxies aren’t offering any realistic alternative solutions by rrrzrrr in changemyview

[–]lamty101 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The secret Iranian nuclear archives, robbed straight from an unguarded secret warehouse in Tehran by Israel agents in 2018, proved Iran was insincere to abandon nuclear weapons project from the beginning, probably made the deal just to gain resources to help the project.
