So what? If I charge on like a dumbass throwing my myrmidon into range of fifteen enemies you'd call me an idiot who has no skill at the game even though that myrmidon actually has quite reasonable Skill, and in fact Skills might actually be a mechanic in the game.

Words can carry multiple meanings, anon. It's not even ambiguous; if you leave "skill" or "luck" uncapitalized, no one will think you're actually referring to the stats.

This isn't necessarily a fire emblem thread; I just wanted to post an image of a smug girl.

>>319586896
Luck is some unmeasurable force that exists in the real world. If you lost 50 games of rock paper scissors in a row, you had bad luck.
There is no "luck" in a computer game. Everything is digitally generated and outcomes rely on computing rather than "luck". Win or lose at the hands of a 'random' number generator.

RNG and LUCK in Fire Emblem are not exclusive to one another. While LUCK does affect your hit rate and evasion, it does not influence other RNG influenced values such as critical rate and hit rate and evasion are also influenced by a shitload of other factors like the weapon triangle, speed, etc.

Luck is just a gear in the RNG machine.

rng is a computerized approximation of the myriad of interconnected factors that we in common usage refer to as "luck" or "fate." as such the two terms are not interchangeable.

That's because you don't understand how to search on the internet.

You need to be specific in your keywords if you want to filter. In this case, What are you looking for exactly? A wood cutting saw? SAW the movie? a metal cutting saw? and band saw? a CNC automatically operated band saw? the verb "to see" conjugated in the past tense?

>>319588930

That's not RNG. RNG is what hand the computer throws out those 50 times.

That's assuming it's actually random and the AI isn't programmed to cheat.

There's a difference. A dice roll is brought about by many factors such as the force with which you tossed them, what surfaces they come in contact with, shit like wind, the weight of the dice, etc. It's why you can cheat at dice.

with RNG it's literally just the computer picking a random number.

Nothing in life people actually base games of chance on is "actually" random, you moron. The physical actions of flipping a coin, shuffling a deck of cards, or rolling a dice are technically deterministic processes, but no one can calculate that shit fast enough, so it's effectively random and we call it luck.

>Nothing in life people actually base games of chance on is "actually" random, you moron.

There is a major difference between something "truly" random and pseudo-random. The word "truly random" isn't literal and does not mean there are no deterministic elements; this simply describes the predictability of the random event.

A dice roll on flat surface would therefore be classed as "truly" random where as random elements in a game would not. This is because games for the most part use a PRNG algorithm to generate their random elements, and outside of a gambling machine you are unlikely to ever see a random element generated by a TRNG algorithm.

Most video games use the in game time or the current system time as a seed for this so if you have an extremely strong understanding of the game it can sometimes be possible to manipulate the random elements completely.
