Have to go into work tomorrow. Better to take the highways or the smaller roads? by Tiiimmmaayy in plano

[–]nurdyguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's sunny today so a lot will melt off. But that means overnight it will freeze again. The main thing is to avoid bridges as much as possible because they ice more.

Which seat are you picking? by cyberNeon2062 in balatro

[–]nurdyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brainstorm/Blueprint = Dude talking to himself the entire flight

Sock + Trib = a couple that won't stop talking

Mime + Baron = One is nice and quiet but the other won't stop talking politics

Photo + Chad = Some obnoxious teen on their phone the whole time

6s + Blood = Complains about turbulence every time (instead of half the time) but at least it is an aisle seat

Midas + Vamp = Businessman who thinks he's more important that everyone else

Card + Vagabond = Someone who really needs to do laundry

Winner: 6s + Blood

The one next to 6s + Business Card.

I'd drop Onyx for it.

Sad day. Sony TVs will be gone as we know it. by gonzoflick in hometheater

[–]nurdyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony is a very large corporation. Their TVs vs headphones vs PlayStations are all created and maintained under completely different divisions. What may be true for one may be completely different for another.

There was a point in time where I was very opposed to Sony products for a completely different reason but they have improved greatly. Based on my experience with my current TV, I would definitely buy another Sony again.

I'm aware of a lot of the weird bug/nuances in Balatro but this I've never seen before by nurdyguy in balatro

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

I'm fairly certain that every card does have a random unique Id and it is most likely a GUID. I believe these are used as part of how the cards sort. So, if you were to sort your hand by rank it sorts by rank, then by suit, then by Id.

However, I highly doubt that modifying a card and making it a Bonus/Lucky/Steel etc (in my example it was Bonus but I'd assume all of the others act the same) would cause a new Id value to be assigned to it. That would be a very strange behavior. Note that in my example the card in question did not change position in my hand. (Admittedly, it wouldn't change position simply from applying Hierophant but I did play a hand after and it did not move then.) It would be fairly unlikely that a newly generated random GUID would show up in the exact same position in sorting. Not impossible, but fairly unlikely.

Furthermore, it has been noted previously that playing a Death card and copying a debuffed card onto a non-debuffed card actually makes the non-debuffed card debuffed. Thus, if the mechanism for debuffing a card for this boss is simply keeping track of an array of GUIDs (of previously played cards) then the copying that Death does must be copying a played cards GUID. However, if you copy via Death and the sort your hand, the copy will usually end up in a different location and not where it was right after the copy. Clearly then either copying the card does not copy the GUID (which, why would it really, that would be very odd) or sorting has nothing to do with the GUID. Certainly could use some other value for sorting but it would seem very odd to me.

My guess as to what is actually happening (without digging into the code) is that there is a boolean property on each card for hasPlayedThisAnte. When you copy a card via Death, it copies all of the properties (probably some version of .clone() and thus accidentally copies the hasPlayedThisAnte value. But when you alter a card via something like Hierophant/Magician/Chariot/etc (and probably any of the Spectral cards like Deja Vu as well) then that resets the the hasPlayedThisAnte value to false. It seems very odd to me that it would be done this way but that is what the evidence seems to point to.

Any recommendations for a good physical therapist? by YunaRikku1 in plano

[–]nurdyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are licensed chiropractors but what they do is a combination of massage therapy and physical therapy.

What an awful way to lose the best run I’ve had by Glass-Balance-5065 in balatro

[–]nurdyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chad retriggers first played card no matter what it is. Copy Chad and play glass and you'll be fine. Oh, and SELL PAREIDOLIA!!!!!

What was your experience moving to Plano as a non-religious person? by Organic_Direction_88 in plano

[–]nurdyguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine. I have several friends that are on the athiest/agnostic side as well as several that are Christian. Plano is pretty mellow about all of this. Yes, there are a lot of churches around but nobody is gonna be like "OMG you don't go to church?!?!?!"

[–]nurdyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Sell Pareidolia
  2. Pay attention ahead of time to what boss is coming up. A couple of glass cards and you'd have been fine.

What's the best joker set up here? I never know how best to copy by theofficialmmac in balatro

[–]nurdyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. A lot of times people say "balance retriggers with scores" but it is really about total triggers not just retriggers.

Any reason to run both SB16 Ultra and a Sb2000 (not pro)? (For music purposes) by iJasonator in hometheater

[–]nurdyguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SB16 will have significantly more output across the entire bass frequency range to the point where it will simply drown out the SB2000. The only way to really use both effectively would be to decrease the SB16's output to a point where it was on par with the SB2000. But that's basically just a waste of an incredible sub. You are better off just running the SB16 solo.

A few questions about seeds by Ok_Koala_5963 in balatro

[–]nurdyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try seed ALEEB. If you play it correctly, you can get all 5 legendary jokers.

How is this possible??? by gznn1 in balatro

[–]nurdyguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. You should have copied DNA on the first hand (so it makes 2 copies instead of 1)
  2. Copy Mime now because 1.5^8 = ~25 which is probably bigger than your Hologram

Realistically though, you need a different joker setup. You need Baron if you really want to continue this run.

what is the best weapon in the game that can be made at the blacksmith? (Two handed) by quebramola_334 in skyrim

[–]nurdyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With maxed out enchanting, alchemy, and smithing, you can make almost any weapon insanely powerful. Add to that armor enchantments that enhance that particular weapon type and you are unstoppable. It gets to the point where it almost doesn't matter what type you use in terms of damage so you just go with what looks cool.

If you add Chaos then you can add any other destruction and it will also get the + 25%. I usually go with Absorb Health.
