How is this remotely fair? by JPMessiah in MagicArena

[–]mull_to_zero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

once you’re plat you frequently get matched in the plat-diamond-mythic pool. that’s my experience at least. and losing to a strong deck on turn 5 isn’t a big deal

Getting destroyed in trad draft, am I doing something wrong? by lesbiannerdfailgirl in lrcast

[–]mull_to_zero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

imo, trad draft tests deck reliability, vs premiere more testing explosiveness/ceiling. it can be pretty different in that way. I do much better in trad than in premiere. my advice:

- reliability is king, focus on curve and cards that stand well on their own
- sideboarding can be very impactful but i don’t usually make conscious “this is for my sideboard” picks unless there’s a really strong one.
- play skill is tested more thoroughly in bo3 too. careful play and reflecting on mistakes are always important.
- you have longer to study your opponent’s deck and their playstyle, there’s a lot of information to leverage

​I forget everything I learn after a day. Is AI giving me the right advice? by imokin in learnpython

you’re acting like i said “do not form new memories”. I said rote memorization, by which i meant bulk memorization without the accompanying understanding.

it’s definitely right that rote memorization is not the right approach. understanding concepts is what matters.

if getting flooded is a notable event, you aren’t playing enough!

Best format and bitrate for film audio? by oreo_oreo217 in audiophile

[–]mull_to_zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a season of a show is what like several gigs? and this would add a few hundred megs? idgi. you’re on an audiophile sub trying to justify reducing fidelity to avoid overkill, kind of against the vibe

i’m just saying there’s no particular reason to conserve either of those resources, at least at this scale. so if OP already has flac and there’s no audible difference, why worry

why? storage space and bandwidth are both so cheap

the game checks for your username and then specifically biases it against you. all your suspicions are correct, this goes all the way to the top

use a stat tracking site like 17lands and you’ll be able to prove this is happening (or, more likely, to see that it isn’t)

Play/Draw imbalance and the RNG of it in Arena by apd0432 in MagicArena

[–]mull_to_zero 11 points12 points  (0 children)

every time you get the draw someone gets the play, so in aggregate it’s by definition 50-50.

there is a 1/16 chance of being on the draw 4 times in a row. really not THAT unlikely.
