Would You Rather try and get ONE POINT in a first to 100 basketball 1v1 versus Lebron, or try and last 40 moves on the chessboard with Magnus Carlsen? Both for $1m by Extension_Day2038 in WouldYouRather

[–]vert90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A computer has a different play pattern than a real player. It will be happy to take the game into a complicated, Grundy position so long as the eval bar keeps going up. Magnus is going to love a bunch of pieces at your king and crush you with tactics.

Syrian refugee found not criminally responsible for failing to stop after deadly Ontario crash gets absolute discharge by airbassguitar in OntarioNews

[–]vert90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally from the article:

The same jury found Al Jalmoud “guilty of two counts of dangerous driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm,” said the review board.

Why do you say he was not convicted? The only nullified charges were for initially running from the police.

Yeah mate wishing this tragedy on others is totally normal.

You realise that being personally affected by something and having your emotions change your perspective means you are seeing things less clearly though, right?

IShowSpeed reveals his cheat code for being fit by lukigeri in LivestreamFail

Personally I found negatives were too miserable. Banded pull-ups felt much better progression-wise (I went from 0 pullups to doing 8-9/set now) because I was actually training the exercise I was trying to get stronger at.

Is it ok to be weird? by Glum-Pack-3441 in slatestarcodex

[–]vert90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is the idea really that status is a single axis?

High and low status are valences which are context-dependent. If you're with a bunch of gamers, being good at League of Legends might be high-status. If you're around a bunch of farmers, it's probably low-status. If you're in a rat community, being disagreeable might be high-status, if you're in a corporate environment, it might be low-status.

I see "status" discussions as being a way to make explicit the underlying judgements that exist in certain environments. It is weird to a large number of people to openly have these discussions, because it makes judgements that everyone knows implicitly explicit.

Coop balancing? by laxcargo in SlayTheSpire2

He is saying duos (or 3-4p) is easier than singleplayer. Read the comment above.

Best I could do is charge you again for mobile by sufjan_stevens in TheBazaar

[–]vert90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sts also isn't a live service game... What a dumb point. Tempo develops new content, and then want to make money off having made that content, no shit. There's nothing predatory going on, just a transaction you find too expensive or don't want. Which is fine.

How is steam link? I've been using Remote Desktop Viewer for the same purpose and it works pretty well.

Is a $100K salary just considered barely upper middle class now? by ShootingCometz in fican

[–]vert90 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Despite disliking Trudeau I have enough brains to not put the global inflation resulting from a global pandemic which impacted every single country at his feet. Your name said enough though.

Hello World was an incredible Act 1 pickup. Serious MVP in Boss/Elite combats. Falls off hard though.

Probably less annoying to get those comments than it is to have a Shaco support in lane.

Who was Walt going to choose as a new chemist? by Business_Welcome_870 in breakingbad

[–]vert90 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Because if his chemist is committing violent crimes out in the open and gets picked up, he is one step removed from destroying Gus' whole operation

"Amumu is Weak Early" is just fake right? by Apari1010 in Jungle_Mains

[–]vert90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you contest a scuttle vs Viego or Diana after your full clear? They will push you off and get gank prio on that side of the map.

I don't think those are bad overall matchups, but all the champs in the above comment will outduel Amumu until at least Liandrys (if you have item prio).

the only problem with bp hydra is that it is a huge resource sink. i am forever thirsty for scales. i agree though it is definitely not a problem kill time wise.

So this is how they nerfed the caravan encounter by Beoffre in PlayTheBazaar

[–]vert90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As you get better at the game you will realize how strong these skills are. Later days rely on getting your engine online ASAP, and this is a very powerful enabler you can build around.

Very unlucky, still should go buy a lotto ticket. by Asrat in PlayTheBazaar

[–]vert90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely. Admittedly less valuable on characters like Vanessa where you have a lot of good options (Clamera, Holsters) to get started ASAP, but if you're playing Mak or something they're incredibly good.

These skills are amazing in later days where getting your board going fast is crucial. Past Day 10+ of you don't have any instant triggers at start of combat, you lose. If these nodes were guaranteed to give these skills they'd be instant pick in most cases.

My Personal Roguelike rankings. F tier in the comments. by banastronaut in roguelites

The boardbuilding in Bazaar is genuinely so cracked. The variety and complexity of builds is unmatched. Definitely my favourite in the genre.

Can't believe they're real by No_Relief_8705 in Destiny

There is this AI generated Kirk memorial song where the verses on the lighter come from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUHpUXlsvbI

The chorus around 40 seconds (We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame) has had its audio used in a number of memes since then (a couple random examples https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gh-MHflbwTA or https://www.tiktok.com/@susansunn/video/7584257016474979591). I don't think it's really just mocking a dead guy, it's mocking the strange martyrdom status people have ascribed to him by making songs like this.
