Bay 12 Games Forum

Main feature was worth the wait. I wonder if I can do my usual Imperial raid method on Hoth, and steal a snowspeeder, and shoot down my "wingmates" like I did in the originals.

My summary of E3 so far: I need an upgrade. (Understated)

Well, the tech demo of the Hololens with Minecraft was entertaining. I wonder what other applications could be made for it?

Never thought that after playing a few games (especially after plowing through a Strogg palace), I would feel homesick about a place I built in Minecraft. I love my Wanderer's Paradise, and the places I made in it so far. Recently built one of many mushroom-based buildings (not built into a mushroom; not yet), but the sand castle I made, felt like home; as well as the private residence not far from it. I pretty much made those places my HQ for dreaming, like a lucid dreaming starting point.

A personal own on architecture in that game. Just wasted a good hour wandering to good music.

And the beginnings


Minecraft

Catching E3 on Youtube.

The latest Doom looks pretty awesome, and considering I'm a bit short tech-wise, I think my brothers will have some time to get back into deathmatch form in this game. Definitely worthy of our weekly game-a-thon get-together. Kinda disappointed the plasma gun didn't sound like it's classic counterpart more. Not much for the Doom 3 and onward sound; not energetic enough. I mean it's an energy weapon.

My booze tastes range from what's available to me, and the occasion.

Chilling out, beer. Socializing (or rapid-buzz), wine or liquor (whiskey or Jagermeister). Burned out, but still want booze, drink what would complement the mood/attitude (sweet to counter bitter mood, and vice-versa). Herbal enrichment alongside if games may be involved (to enrich the experience, and to research it's effects further). Somehow, I've relaxed way more when like that to the point I'm amazed I play as well as I do (or have more fun losing, at least).

I guess I'm the Iron Man of drinking and such. Drinking in theme with a game also works (beer for FPS, Wine for adventure, and so on, and liquor for driving games and space sims).

Not a lot of especially decent ones but there have been a few. King's Bounty:Darkside and Evoland are two that I was already interested in that were unlocked today and Julia looks interesting.

Also looking at the numbers on the clicking unlocks for the upcoming day, I think they have noticed the preponderance of useage of autoclickers.

No kidding. Even at 90ms/click (fastest speed I can get that works), I barely even made a scratch to that.

EDIT:
Maybe not accurate, but if I were to dedicate my efforts alone doing my 90ms/click rate, the top-level would take up to 2500000 hours of that to achieve. ((10^11 * 0.09) = (9 x 10^9)/60 = (1.5 x 10^8)/60 = (2.5 x 10^6)/24 = 104166.667 days). So I guess 2.5 million 90ms/clickers would take an hour to get it done; but I don't think the servers would handle that kind of magnitude.

EDIT EDIT:
Recalculated it at a different angle. If in 1 hour I were to keep at it, it would total to:
((1h x 60m x 60s x 1000ms) = (3.6x10^6)ms or 3600000ms / 0.09Cms = (4 x 10^7)CPH or 40,000,000 CPH (Clicks per hour)

E*3 RECALCULATED:
Grand total =  100,000,000,000C     (10^11)
90ms/C in an hour =     40,000C (4 x 10^4)
10^11 (GT) / 4 x 10^4 (Single 90ms/C) = 2,500,000 (2.5 x 10^6) people doing this simultaneously to get it done in an hour.
I already contributed my hour of service at those rates. 2499 2,499,999 more to go. I kinda got lost in my math, so I may be off by a digit. Anyone willing to check my work?

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Wolframmed it (1 hour divided by 90 milliseconds), and I got 40,000 clicks per hour. Oops. Might take much more effort than I previously quoted (understated, of course). I knew I was a tad off, but wow. Instead of 2500 people, make that more like 2,500,000 of them doing 90ms/C for an hour each. Actually, it just checked my first answer, and I was right the first time around. Let's hope the prize is worth the concentrated effort.

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT:
I'm curious, what would be the most efficient mean/median USER:HOUR ratio doing this to get it done with as few people necessary? (Because we're all lazy.)

I know there's a formula to figure this out, but my brain's not quite up to scratch to figure it out right now. I just have a feeling though that maybe 6 hours per-person will have the most (realistically) efficient markup effort-wise. It would end up requiring less than 500,000 people easy to accomplish the task at that rate (powten(11) / (6 * 40000) = 416666.667 according to the Windows Calculator). Simplified formula, so far, to base off of: 2500000/x, x = hours per-user (limit to time left before reset)

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT:
It looks like they changed things around. It's no longer 100,000,000,000 anymore, but now 15,000,000,000 (was wondering why it spiked so suddenly. I thought Reddit or something got a hold of the math). That'll save a crap-ton of hassle for everyone.

Now then, it'll take us 15B / 40k = 375k users (instead of the 2.5M previously) to clear the objective in an hour, at my rate, and far more reasonable numbers, the more hours invested per-user. Would've been neat to coordinate a mass effort like that though; although it could crash the servers.

Figure I'm due for a new avatar.
