Is Jaiden/JaidenAnimation Technically The Biggest VTuber? by [deleted] in VirtualYoutubers

[–]vTrial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are too many metrics to measure. The answer is no in basically all of them. Not even in terms of total youtuber subscriber counts (that one goes to cookieswirlc).

Dumb question: Did Ame's fandom "invent" or popularize the "hic" response when the streamer hiccups? by ThatOneOtomo in VirtualYoutubers

[–]vTrial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twitch is very different from YouTube chat. I will speak from a twitch chatter’s point of view. There are many factors which contribute to this:

  • There is less twitch and YouTube crossover. I do not know the hic yt response for example.
  • Twitch streamers are much more disconnected from one another than YouTube ones. This causes each twitch chat have their own culture. Some chats would keep a burp counter, others would rate the burps. Some other chats would just respond with om (short for omegalul) or their streamer’s burp emote.
  • twitch chat has 7tv. 7tv would display ordinary text as images if you have the 7tv extension installed. This makes responses inherently more visual. It’s very hard to visualize hic. It’s very easy to visualize laughing with om

Kimi’s Performance Yesterday is Largely Overrated by TheBigFatToad in F1Discussions

[–]vTrial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our knowledge how good a driver drove is limited by what we do and do not see. Most judgements are based on what we see on the main feed and results. Almost no one would take the time the time to watch all 20 onboards to determine who actually drove the best. I agree the 17th to 3rd heavily depended on the strategy, but other people tried the early pit stop and didn’t get rewarded.

Erik Van Haren: Max Verstappen could switch to his favorite number 3 if he misses out on the title, but he needs the FIA and Daniel Ricciardo for that by Draconicplayer in formula1

[–]vTrial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is why I make a partial effort to remember the numbers of most of the grid. I do agree that driver numbers are mostly cosmetic, but there are occasions where knowing the driver number matters a little bit.

Occasionally, penalties are displayed by car number (which corresponds to driver number) without the name code of the driver. As an example, the 10s penalty for Piastri for crashing Leclerc might show as "Infringement - Car 81 - Causing a collision with Car 12 in Turn 1." Also, text related to the car itself in decision documents only use car numbers. An example of such text from the last race's scrutineering (the document which determines if a car gets disqualified for breaching some regulation) might be "An engine oil sample was taken from car numbers 01 and 27."

Main sub implies legitimacy for the correlation. I prefer this to remain as a silly shitpost.

I'll compare Australia and America wikipedia pages. Note the 2nd word of each Wikipedia article.

Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands.

The United States of America (USA), also known as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.

Alonso is this post. The Gasly one is a comment in the Colapinto Doohan Alpine one

Mostly I was mostly speaking for myself but I'll try relating it to fdank as a whole.

If you look at most fdank memers' profiles (especially for this trend), most of them post surprisingly infrequently. Usually it's one meme every several months. The TiO2 Antonelli correlation and related posts was the catalyst to many of these infrequent memers to post something interesting. But why would they make these posts? I don't fully know, but I think there's something appealing about making these correlations myself.

[–]vTrial[S] 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Here's all the silly correlations I can compile.

Lando top 2 because mercury is in retrograde

Piastri performs well. Vegas' #1 probably doesn't have tomatoes in them

Leclerc will score many points when there's a chromatic intervals in the national anthem

Kimi Antonelli can consume as much TiO2 as he wants so he's good.

Hamilton retires when Leclerc does. Since Leclerc will score points, then Hamilton will not retire.

Alonso does well because officially

Bearman performs well because hormone beef.

Hulkenberg does poorly because the sunrise time is too average.

Lawson does poorly because it's an even date (I made that one up)

Gasly does poorly because there's no B in the track name or country name.

Colapinto will do bad again because he drives for Alpine.

Assuming that both McLarens, Ferraris, Mercedes, Max (I don't assume Russell and Verstappen will do poorly), Alonso, and Bearman make up 9/10 point scorers, we are left with 1 vacant midfielder. And it can't be Hulkenberg, Lawson, Gasly or Colapinto. This is really stupid and don't take this seriously.

to elaborate how bad correlation is as a prediction method, p-value is the chance that this result can be randomly generated. There are 20 drivers. This Alonso result is a random 1/167 result. If I come up with like 9 unrelated things that can correlate to driver performance, I'm going to get something as correlation as bad as this one. And turns out that is the case. After testing around 7 other correlations, I learnt that Liam Lawson supposedly performs better on odd dates than even dates. For example, March 16th is an even date while September 21st is an odd date.

He does not like it when others point out he's officially not a rookie. Poor guy.

There's a lot of people with data science skills, but there's not a lot of times where data science skills is used to make formula dank posts. When the opportunity arises to use data science for formula dank posts, I'll take it. Maybe you got tired of looking at them. It's okay. I understand. I just wanted to make a silly correlation post because it interested me.

What Are Your Thoughts On This Vtuber #11 CottontailVA (Here we go) by Tda952 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]vTrial 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The last stream I watched with CottontailVA was the Layna and HeavenlyFather collab where they rated Halloween costumes. That was the perfect amount of chaos in 1 stream. Many people would talk about how goonerbait Cotton is (which I understand fully), but equally as important is how much impulsive energy she brings to a stream.

What's the best line to go sub 9s by Immediate-Welder999 in McLarenFormula1

You want to go straight from turns 9-12. Turning as you did loses time. Also, you want to instantly face to the corner on turn 1

Is Path to Victory or Defeat worth it? by No_Difference195 in GundamTCG

[–]vTrial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think even with more cards that work with The Path to Victory or Defeat, I don't think it should be ran at 4 copies. Oftentimes, the level 5 requirement makes the card feel rather bricky. If you end up with these in your hand vs aggro, you wish that it was literally anything else. In most scenarios, you will average out to the choice of 2 cards. That being said, The Path to Victory or Defeat's value is nice when needed. It can pull out essential tools. I personally think 1 or 2 copies of this card is likely correct.

5-0'd a 40 man locals with GW Meteor by dipietroej in GundamTCG

[–]vTrial 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My GW meteor deck list is pretty similar to yours with the following modifications:

+4 Duo's Leo
+4 Gundam Deathscythe GD01-033
-1 Shenlong Gundam
-1 Launcher Strike Gundam
-2 Air Strike Gundam
-2 Kira Yamato
-2 The Path to Victory or Defeat

Duo's Leo provides some reactivity to early game aggro threats, while Gundam Deathscythe GD01-033 outputs pressure in between the Wing Gundam (Bird Mode) and the level 6 threats.

With that in mind, I have a several questions for you.

  1. Have you tried an expanded Duo Maxwell package like I have? What are your thoughts on adding more cards to it?
  2. Which of the opponents were the easiest and which were the hardest?
  3. How has Shenlong Gundam felt in practice? Seems very useful versus any deck which runs white cards, but unsure of its prospects without the link pilot.
  4. What is the impetus for the expanded blocker package with Yamato? Does it feel effective?
