him throwing at the end because he forgot about half joker is so funny he almost had the win too if he stopped tossing a fourth card every time, could have easily hit e14
TL;DR: Half Joker adds 20 mult only after glass and photograph, not before. Half Joker is only giving us a 0.5% score improvement (3860 vs 3840 mult before our post-hand multiplier stack). For those wondering about the math at play: NL had 8.6mil xMult *post-hand* from the Mercuries, Hologram, and Steel Joker. He gets 60 base hand mult from a plain hand, 240 mult from a pair with plain face cards, 960 mult from a pair with 1 glass face card, 3840 hand mult from a pair with 2 glass face cards. The only hand worth fishing for was the 2 glass face card combo, as this gives around 3.3e13 (he needed e14, so this is still not enough before steel cards).
no, it wasn't, he understood the mults correctly, other guy didn't. the x20 of the half joker isn't multiplying the mults like the mercuries, glass faces, etc, but providing the base mult for those to multiply. using the half joker was pretty much the difference between multiplying 3.8k by 8mil and 3.82k by 8mil-negligible. rather than multiplying the 8mil by 20, (so 3.8k x 160mil) which needless to say would have been insanely good.
@@pyramear5414 Thanks for this explanation! With the way NL showed it, I was also like "exponentially growing 80 instead of 60 is a huge difference!", but adding 20 to 3840 is not nearly so much. Not used to thinking in such large scale :)
The only time I've ever wanted to backseat Is literally screaming at my screen for him to sell that fucking even Steven's when he keeps it for like 7 rounds after it was debuffed.
I forgot he already talked about popcorn toppings. Now I know why they were talking about it this week when Justin said he thought melted butter on popcorn was disgusting
I don't know how many hours NL had sunk at this point but when I was watching the vods as they came out I didn't realise just how nuts gold stake is with the 'basic' decks. I've been playing the game myself now and it's crazy how often the game just gives you jokers you need but can't afford to take because its eternal/rental/perishable, plus the quickly increasing score that is honestly pretty challenging by itself.
You're right and wrong about the bullying; The vast majority of 'bullies' have been either a victim or witness to domestic abuse (physical or verbal/mental), they are also often just as likely to have mental illnesses as the bullied. I looked into it for a paper when I was younger, and there's actually a lot of interesting things about bullying and how it's juxtaposed with how bullies are portrayed and addressed. E.G. if bullies *are* usually witnesses or victims themselves, then trying to talk to the parents or have the parents do something will most likely be fruitless as they or the grandparents or siblings are usually the very cause for bullying.
Currently living in Japan, before I knew how the economy worked I got a haircut for ¥950 but was so scared of fucking up and wanting to fit in, gave the guy ¥5000 and ran away… essentially a $30 tip for a $5 haircut
Ironically pay per kernel popcorn would probably be the meta service if there was infrastructure capable of deploying unlimited popcorn to a theatre without ruining the viewing expertise through noise or disruption. Imagine an infinite supply of popcorn for a film, and then just paying on exit. Even better, it could be an extension to a film pass subscription, popcorn is essentially free to produce with the volume they’d sell. I’d happily pay another 30 bucks a month for infinite popcorn, and it would earn them 30 bucks more than the current amount of popcorn I buy
