I can actually feel myself turning into a type A chatter. Why isn't he taking advantage of the fact that even without seeing the cards you can still switch between sorted by rank and sorted by suit to gain information on the flipped cards? Why is he buying jokers that only work on 5 card type hands when you can't be as consistent with those in this challenge? Like brother, why is he and chat calling the challenge badly designed when he's refusing to interface with the challenge in such a way that the drawbacks of the challenge are at least somewhat mitigated? It's like if I went into the family man challenge in Isaac, kept buying brimstone in basement 2 even though I can only deal damage through familiars, and when I keep dying on caves 1 I keep yapping "Edmund this challenge fucking blows, what the hell is wrong with you?"

This is my exact behavior trying to get through black deck. He just like me frfr. Also an easy fix for LocalThunk would be to change the wording to "1 in X *chance* of card being face down" because small sample sizes and probabilities and yadda yadda yadda

@rare_edamimi_fangirl 3 ай бұрын

Yeah I always thought the wording was weird aswell, same for The Wheel boss. Back when I first got the game I would always get there and be confused as to how either more or less than one were face down in my starting hand of 8 cards.

@Arthur-wd8hc 3 ай бұрын

I agree but I think an easier fix would be to change the wording to "X% chance of cards drawn face down this round". The problem is that most people don't see statistics like "1 in 4" as being 25% chance per attempt. It's why so many people can loathe space joker because they assume it HAS to hit at least once every four hands played, same with wheel. Now I think it would be more difficult to do that for every probability card and joker, but at least for blinds it is hard coded as yes or no (depending on if you have a joker that disables it) -- at least that's how I understand it.

@donkeykong315 3 ай бұрын

The problem with changing the wording is that “Oops all sixes!” Depends on that wording to make its interactions make sense.

20:50 I'm sorry but I have to Type A so bad, I can't hold it anymore. Dude has 3 hidden cards, discards 5 face up cards. the discarded cards were most likely forming a straight with left most face down card with A,K,J,10,9( The worst discard possible?). The 5 discarded return Q, 4 and 3 face down with one known to be 2 and one more dupe 2,3 or 4. so NL could have created a straight with Q and first hand. Then he discards KQ + 3 face down. possibly had A K Q J in there... when there are 6 facedown cards? At least didn't ruin a potential straight again. Then he again discards Q9 + 3 face down( out of 6 facedown cards) potential straight again broken by the discard A,Q,J/10,9,8/7. Then he gambles on A instead of 6 or 7, revealing that he didn't have A in the first hand but 3 kings. Then he gambles on two face down cards 6/7 and 2/3 instead of a single 6/7 to hope for a J,10 ,8,7/6,5. Thanks for coming to my Type A Talk
