Okay, new task: Take that data, remove Rob's freakouts, follow a trend and see when it'll get back to 150 posts in a day.

As I said, some of robs freakouts correspond to 1000 post days

but not all of those days are freakout days

Whoops

I was thinking the 19th, not 15th

Here's robs post count during the time I plotted

Okay, new task: Take the data, remove freakouts, follow a trend and see what it'll take to get back to 454 posts in one day, one month before the freakout.

jesus christ pika

maybe you should go watch one piece instead

I only do worthwhile things

It'll require you to go through every single message and remove every freakout post.

But I believe in you.

yeah no lmao

Pika, do you play any games that require funny-looking dice?

no

I can do you one better

I do not play games that require dice

in a physical sense

obviously I play things that involve rng

Then hypothetically, if you did, would you do Chi square tests to determine if a die is "lucky," "unlucky," or neither?

Meant to be a yes/no question

I may have worded it weird

So, my worst grade was stats. I actually don't remember when you'd use a chi-squared test versus a P-test, versus etc

I don't think I can confidently answer that

I remember basically nothing about probability from actual math class, but I know Chi tests from gamers

It's comparing observed results to expected results

Looking at the wikipedia explanation of the chi-squared, it looked like you would be able to use it for that

I'm asking if you would personally.

I have no idea

I am not a statistician

I know a bit of data analysis, but not much

So it's not numbers in general you're autistic for, just specific situations. Got it.

Math is too huge of a field for me to literally know all of it, despite how much I wish I could

You don't need to know all of it to get all mega-nerd over it.

No, but I need to have at least some memory of specific parts of it (statistics) to be able to apply those parts

Fair enough.

I really am limited with how much statistics I know. My expertise is more functional analysis, systems, and calculus

So if you were playing D&D and playing a barbarian with a greataxe(d12 hit dice, d12 weapon damage die, d12s are rarely used in a lot of D&D games outside of these two situations), you wouldn't spend ~3 hours doing a probability test on a die you were going to use for one character that may only last a few weeks, if that?

The reference: I was in a D&D game where someone spent a full session doing Chi tests on their d12s because they died, rolled up a barbarian as a new character, and proceeded to play it for two sessions before never playing a barbarian or using a greataxe again.

I would not do that even if I knew stats stuff more

thats just unfun sounding

Agreed, but what you did is unfun sounding to most people, so I figured I may as well ask.

I mean, what you described is anti fun, it is literally sucking the fun out of something that could be fun

I just did something tedious while listening to a podcast

Eh, its the life of a power gamer in a nutshell.

Honestly, what a lot of people do for mythic raiding in WoW is far worse.

yeah, which is why those people are retarded

and anti fun

awww they deleted my pikachu ;-;
