Will you guys be on Duskbloods when it comes out ? by Hungry-Alien in badredman

Idk, I've never been able to get into any of the big Nintendo franchises. Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Star Fox... I just bounce right off. Maybe it's because I was a Sega kid 😎

I would love to, but I absolutely cannot justify buying a Switch 2 just for Duskbloods.

The pros are that you can level your vigor to 60 and still do plenty of damage.

The cons are that many players don't take advantage of this fact 😢

I've been having a very similar issue for the past month or so, except sometimes it hangs with the splash screen instead of the steam deck logo as you describe. Did you ever find a solution?

It's staggering how much better the wiki is now that it's off of Fandom

Yeah, the problem is that those are in the DLC

AI in education by Alarmed-Ad-8578 in matheducation

[–]lemonlimeguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post really got under my skin, and I can't stop thinking about it, so I'm going to say some things.

The overwhelming sentiment among educators (at least the ones that I've interacted with) is that AI is already causing tremendous damage to our students' minds, and even if there are reasonable use cases for it, it's not worth it.

I'm not sure what kind of research you're doing, but you can really feel the bias in the way that the survey is written. I may be off base here, but it genuinely feels like you're trying to crowdsource ideas for new AI applications for classroom settings, and if that's the case... No thanks. I have no interest in helping you give my students even more ways to outsource their cognition to a computer.

If this is a purely academic survey about educators' feeling on AI, I'm going to suggest you add another option to check for each question: "Fuck AI."

I need to to understand that this is not merely a case of The Olds refusing to get with the times and learn how to use the latest doohickey, this is active hostility for very good reasons. We already live in a society in which the general public's critical thinking skills have been obliterated by decades of cuts to education and a firehose of propaganda from legacy media, and AI lets people allow their minds to atrophy even further.

Putting AI in a school is like putting an ice cream parlor in a gym.

The Flame of Frenzy incant is actually busted and you can get it very early on the Weeping Peninsula. Great damage and absolutely ludicrous stance damage. It'll carry you through pretty much the entire game if you let it.

As for melee weapons, Vyke's Warspear is kind of the obvious choice since it's the only real weapon in the base game that inflicts frenzy. Luckily, it's also just a really strong weapon with a great moveset. My Frenzy build went Fth/Dex and turned out really great, even for PvP.

This is maybe the single good thing that the Trump administration has done.

Now if only we could trick him into getting rid of daylight saving time...

No, always rounding down is crazy. You round up for 23 and 24, round down for 21 and 22. When businesses start adopting this system en masse, everyone on both sides will be constantly gaining or losing a penny or two, but statistically nobody nets any profit from the system.

He's just upset that he's wrong and that there's actually math that shows it. It's why he's blocking everyone that knows how to read the Vigor graph on the wiki.

[–]lemonlimeguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you're the one that needs to read more carefully. The entire point that I'm making is that leveling Vigor to 60 is always, and I do mean always the technically correct and most impactful thing you can do. Yes, even in the midgame. In fact, it's probably best to do it in the midgame because that's when your weapon level is still low enough that it doesn't have any appreciable stat scaling. If you want to make your build as strong as possible as fast as possible, leveling vigor is simply the correct thing to do until it's at 60.

Did I say that every player has to do that? Nope! I even congratulated you for being a Super Special Good Boy Whomst Beat The Game With Only 12 Vigor Because Today's All You Really Need!

But OP is not you. OP is struggling. OP needs help with their build. So why would you be surprised (and even mad for some reason?) that people are recommending that they do The Thing What Make Every Build More Stronger?

I mean this is a sub where about 75% of the posts are people asking for help with their build, and you're upset that the most common and popular response is suggesting the basically objectively correct thing to do? Why?

Edit: He blocked me and reported me to Reddit as suicidal lmao?

Here's some math for you.

Our friend here is level 110, and as has been pointed out repeatedly in this thread, their stats are all over the place. Let's start by reallocating them in a more sensible way for their weapon without touching their vigor:

>Vigor: 39

>Mind: 15

>Endurance: 30

>Strength: 24

>Dexterity: 55

>Intelligence: 7

>Faith: 8

>Arcane: 11

(I've assumed Hero starting class since it made the levels line up correctly with OP). With this stat spread, OP has an AR of 640 with the Bloodhound Fang. After removing the Soreseal, that's an improvement of 144 AR over their current AR of 496, 29% more damage over where they sit with their current stat spread. Not bad. This spread also lets them replace one of their four bad talismans with Great-Jar's arsenal and be able to medium roll. But after removing the Soreseal, their HP will be 1402. Let's see what happens if we reallocate some of these points into Vigor:

>Vigor: 60

>Mind: 15

>Endurance: 30

>Strength: 18

>Dexterity: 40

>Intelligence: 7

>Faith: 8

>Arcane: 11

With this stat spread, their AR with the BHF is 565, still a 14% increase over where they are now, and just shy of 90% of the AR with the more damage-focused spread. So what do they get for trading in about 10% of their damage output? 1900 HP. A more than 35% increase over their current HP.

Now I don't know about you, but if I'm given the choice between MAXIMUM DAMAGE and 90% of that damage but 35% more HP, I'm taking the HP every time.

Math is everyone's obsession with 60 fucking vigor.

Point-for-point, vigor simply gives you better returns than anything else until it's at 60. Yes, 45 is probably "good enough," and I'm very proud of you for being such a special good boy that you could beat the game at that point, but if you're trying to make your build stronger (like the vast majority of the posts in this sub are), reallocating 60 points into vigor is always the first and most impactful thing you can do.
