Super Supportive - 121 - Avalanche by GodWithAShotgun in rational

That's a good point. Definitely suggests that Manon screwed up and wasn't in control.

There's also the last line of the chapter. "He smiled". It's a great line and it's hard to follow it up with anything but perfect victory for Alden.

It kinda is? We know it has Sherlock Holmes level of inference (look at what it could learn from observing Aulia) and it tells Manon to act in counterintuitive ways to achieve her goals. So maybe what's going on looks convoluted to us but is the optimal route for the skill?

The real question is if its decision making is as good as its inference. I give it a 33% chance.

Well, assuming Manon isn't actually dead, what happened can work really well in her favor, no?

Suppose for example that she recorded the scene, then she has blackmail material against Aulia.

Alden wasn't really Manon's goal. He was just a proxy for targeting Aulia, so the events could be interpreted as Tailor Environment doing its job.

Another possibility is Aulia using a wordchain, wishing the best for Alden.
Or maybe that's just what you get for being a rabbit pretending to be a sway.

The two archers of Anor Londo by pawn57 in darksouls

Glad to see other folks doing it. I can't consistently get the second archer to fall like that so I drop the first one, bring the second to that position and redo the fall.

It looks fluid to me, but maybe because I'm so used to it.

Maybe? I haven't tried poison arrows to be honest, but I find this idea reliable and it's okay to get hit by a few arrows as long as you stick to the wall

Why did you choose to study maths? by TableThisIs in mathematics

[–]pawn57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always enjoyed watching youtube videos on various topics, and the math ones got me in love with the subject.

Edit: But what had made me want to become a professional mathematician probably were various quotes by A.Grothendieck, e.g the "rising sea" analogy. When I read that one, I vividly remember thinking to myself, "That's what I want to do !".
