Terraria’s “true” rarest event: travrolling to infinity
I wonder if there are any other “infinite retry” mechanics in Terraria.

I love that this man over here is working so hard to figure out something that will basically never happen.
I remember one day ther merchant spawned selling the halo, but i was too early in the game to buy
It's important to remember that Terraria does not use hardware rng and as a result anything that retries until some random condition will eventually succeed because it's not actually random
The thought of how much research you do kills me
4:18 Still more common than Giant Tortoises dropping the darned Turtle Shells.
The pseudo-RNG games use wouldn't actually allow the rolls to go on indefinitely, I have no idea what the recurrence time is but the C# random's state is 2^1728 bits so if it's possible to roll an item it'll definitely roll at least once in 2^1728 rolls as a very loose upper limit – that's still kind of a lot lmao
The actual number you're talking about here isn't "infinite", but rather Omega. It is a finite number, meaning it's smaller than infinite, as whatever number of rerolls you choose you'll get a finite number, but it's greater than any real number as for whatever x number of rerolls with y probability there is the possibility of choosing x+1 number of rerolls with a y'<y probability (btw, infinite > 1 so it's not a probability, but everyone get the point and replacing infinite but "1/infinite" (not defined but whatever) or lim x->0+ of x is the same)
There's a great video on infinite chess about mate-in-Omega move which talks in greater details/with a better explanation of Omega if you're interested, but feel to not care I'm just nitpicking at this point lol
couldn't random events like the blood moon also roll into infinity in the same way?
if they just happened every night in sequence
Rare
Today i bought a code 1 from 2 different traveling merchants in a row
Terra always surprises us
I JUST GOT 2 BONE LEES WHO BOTH DROP BLACK BELT AND TABI THEN AFTER THAT I KILLED A PALDIN AND IT DROPPED THE HAMMER SHIELD AND RIBS ITS RARER
WAIT THATS ACTUALLY SUPER RARE
Imagine having your game crash because no item wanted to enter the god damn slot
He has became the terraria version of camman18 and I love it
The thing is this could have actually happened to someone and they would not know
And yes, your odds for getting a girlfriend are still lower than this if you don't have one already
(this includes myself.)
TRUE rarest event (that can reach able): you beat Daytime Empress Of Light on legendary mode, 69% hallow and 0% crimson/corruption, no hit, legit and character is master mode character (this comment not reference to anything in the video, so be gently).
I don't think that terarria can crash by infinite loop. Freeze – yes. But infinite calculation without overflowing is what all programms do
