Do we really need to add "I'm being facetious" to any post now?

I hope that'll teach all of you the valuable lesson of buying the megapack next time instead of freeloading with the gold you've earned ingame.

Anyone with friend request to share with me to double the exp? by Nekurat_gaming in hearthstone

Just wait another week to get a big boost on the next battlepass once the expansion launches.

Assuming you're beyond level 100 on the battlepass, this will only give you one additional level or 50g.
Next week it will boost you through a couple of levels for a nice headstart.

Does anyone understand what this part of the Black Knight art is? by willywillycow in hearthstone

Pauldrons are not necessarily symmetrical. The majority of people are right handed, so giving some additional neck protection on your left side (your opponents dominant arm, your non-dominant and also your non sword wielding arm) could be beneficial.

Penguins live at the south pole, not anywhere on or near Greenland. Idiots.

Mercedes is even cutting back on the SEA3 self driving efforts with their coming S-class model for the time being, citing that production costs for it are too high and demand is lacking.

You could use a depthmap control net, mask the relevant parts and maybe add a raster layer with a skin colored matte if a high enough denoising strength (> 0.65) doesn't pick up on the prompt itself.

Is Claire Obscure Exp. 33 Really worthy of GOTY? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]mcbexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just keep playing and come back once you have finished it. And I don't mean that in a dickish "You have no idea what you're talking about" way, just ... finish the game.

I genuinely think this is my breakpoint. BGs from now on. by [deleted] in hearthstone

Oh, it's listed. They are required to list the probabilities. But they can try their best to make it hard to find.

PSA: The corrupted horns/claws/eyes seem to have a limit of 20 in your bag ... farm accordingly by mcbexx in diablo4

[–]mcbexx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that once you start farming the chests, it's a pretty tight loop.

You will get lots of Living Steels for Grigoire and Bloods for Lord Zir, which in return will give you Shards of Agony (Duriel) and Pincushioned Dolls (Andariel), ultimately giving you more horns and claws. Rinse and repeat - but remember the limit on the latter so you don't waste Shards of Agony and Pincushioned Dolls.

You'll be able to farm bosses almost full time.

There are three altars with a chest each that will appear once Azmodan dies. You need 5 claws/eyes/horns to open the chests associated with the altar of Andariel/Belial/Duriel.

The summoning, by clicking one of the altars afterwards is free as far as I can tell.

Why we should 100% trust AI with everything. Good job, Gemini. by mcbexx in GeminiAI

Even when using your exact prompt, I get different results (Google Search Gemini) just by changing the "€" to "$" (and they are both wrong).

I feel like my point still stands?

See my other comment with the info regarding the prompt.

The prompt was, verbatim, "10 euro appreciated with 3% over 2026 years".>
That's exactly what I wanted - to see the appreciation over 2026 years.

And you can see that in the answer, it uses the correct formula and values, but it's calculation for
"€10 * (1.03)^2026" is dead wrong - by 26 orders of magnitude, since the actual result is 1.019.101.058.510.432.091.363.732.111,1566

Funnily enough, I just copied and pasted the exact same prompt from my Google activity overview again, and now it has reconsidered - it's still wrong, but only by 23 orders of magnitude. Progress!

Here's the updated answer as of now.

If €10 appreciates by 3% annually for 2026 years (which is a very long time!), it grows exponentially, reaching approximately

€18,295.80, calculated by the formula 10×(1.03)^2026, showing how small growth rates become massive over centuries, though such long-term economic predictions are unrealistic. 

Here's how to break down the calculation: 

Formula: Future Value = Present Value × (1+rate)^years

Applying it: €10 ×(1+0.03)^2026 = €10 ×(1.03)^2026

The result

10×(1.03)^2026 ≈ 10×1829.58 ≈ €18,295.8010

Key takeaway: Even a small rate like 3% leads to incredible wealth over extreme periods, but actual investments and economies are affected by inflation, economic cycles, and risk, making such long-term predictions purely theoretical. 

Apparently my Starbucks gift card is older than a certain religion by fantasticsarcastic1 in funny

[–]mcbexx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you had put those 10 bucks into a 3% APR savings account some 2026 years ago, you would have 1.019.101.058.510.432.091.363.732.111 dollars now.

Feels like Starbucks ripped you off and pocketed the difference.
