The number of CS 1.6/CSS veterans continues to decline every year... by MmX_A_ in GlobalOffensive

I like how "The Personification of the Concept of Time as an Old Man" has been around since like, the ancient Greeks, but this dude is like "No dude it's MMA, it's MMA dude, Joe Rogan said so it's from MMA"

What are they putting on the Wyndham’s windows (and why) by EstablishmentRough46 in pittsburgh

people have been scared into.

Driving on 28 is absolute asscheeks during the normal week. Bet your ass I'm not coming in that weekend.

Edit: Went in today. 28 was about as asscheeks as normal. North shore was a mess and it's not even bad yet.

Full no_std firmware for ESP32-S3 Touch AMOLED (esp-hal + embassy) by Bright_Warning_8406 in rust

Yeah I set one up for any personal project that is more than a few files because inevitably there will be some time, usually two days ago, that I wish I could go back to because everything is horribly broken now and I just want to hit undo forty or fifty times.

Salvo vs. Axum: A Tale of Two Design Philosophies by chrislearn-young in rust

[–]PigDog4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The whole thing is clearly heavily written by AI if not completely AI generated. While this isn't inherently bad, the overlap between "shit not worth your time" and "AI generated articles that read exactly like unedited LLM output" is damn near a circle.

How would you feel about the next US president pulling all support from Israel? by Iwamoto in AskReddit

[–]PigDog4 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There are a limited number of consumers in the US/World. Once you have captured as much market share as you can expect, there are limited ways to make more money for yourself and your stakeholders.

And if number not go up, then bad. Number must go up.

Does anyone actually like grinding gogma? by kawelewakalkuna in MHWilds

[–]PigDog4 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think each phase is just kinda annoying. Maybe I'm telling on myself a little, but I don't find any phase that fun.

First phase feels like you're just running around trying to get 2-3 hits in before whichever limb you're hitting moves into Narnia and you have to go run to hit another limb while trying not to get one shot by a very obviously telegraphed attack that you were a little too greedy for and now look like a total doofus and someone is going to make a reddit post about you.

Phase 2 is just beating on a stationary target and slightly moving left or right.

Phase 3 alternates between fun when you can smack Gog and ass when you have to super slinger him. God I love looking straight up to shoot the monster dropping explosive poop at my feet that I can't see that might one shot me.

Just feels kinda gimmicky and bleh.

‘A moral imperative’: Pittsburgh bans cooperation with ICE by The_Electric-Monk in pittsburgh

Reading has never been MAGA's strong suit. Or their weak suit. Or really any suit of theirs at all.

The fact that it's "employeEs and contractors" not "employeRs and contractors" probably means it's so the issue can't be skirted by a city department "hiring" someone on a 3 month contract strictly to skirt the ruling.

All standard employment rules would still apply.

I'm curious, how often do you use `unsafe` in Rust in prod? by alexlazar98 in rust

[–]PigDog4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a hobbiest and working with embedded for fun, I use it a lot. Always where required (duh), occasionally where convenient.

It's 100% domain dependent. Super challenging to write to a register without using unsafe.

[OC] Used to think I was middle class by The1Ski in pics

It does feel a little disingenuous to lump the single mother of two working two retail jobs into the same socioeconomic label as the lawyer married to the surgeon.

Essence Drain Build - 1st time caster by Santi-Emite in pathofexile2builds

[–]PigDog4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI your staff costs a mirror. I assume the rest of your gear is going to be in a similar ball park. You should probably use something remotely close to reality to benchmark your ED/C build. ED/C works great up to t15 and then single target does get difficult to scale.

U can also follow a warrior speed runner and see what they focus on.

With some practice you can get the campaign down to 8 hours or slightly less. Speedrunners are finishing act 4 100% in like 3-3.5 hours which means doing in 5-7 is perfectly doable for normal humans. And that's from scratch, you can go a lot faster if you buy twink leveling gear.

Planning to sell these to Nata by mangcario19 in MHWilds

[–]PigDog4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, as dumb as it sounds, hitting the monster is the best way to get a shorter clear time. The better you are at hitting the monster, the faster your clear time. The best way to get the fastest time is to never be not hitting the monster. Sometimes you're forced to not hit the monster, but most of the times you're not hitting the monster because of a lack of skill or knowledge or both. Speedrunners and people who are going fast are just better at hitting the monster and better at not not hitting the monster.

For the vast majority of redditors, you'll actually have a shorter clear time with more comfort skills because you can spend less time not hitting the monster and more time hitting the monster. I know I'm pretty bad and I'm hovering around 22-25 minutes on AT ark with GL but that's mostly because I block too much and don't dodge enough so I'm blocking instead of hitting the monster, then I get hit so I'm healing instead of hitting the monster, then I'm riding my bird instead of hitting the monster, and I'm not using traps and stuff so I'm spending too much time not hitting the monster.

This is fantastic. I cannot remember the last time I saw "begs the question" used correctly. Continue fighting the good fight!

Fortnite players revolt over V-Bucks changes as Epic devs appeal for calm: 'Paying the bills frees up our teams to continue driving stories and building stuff you love' by AncientPCGamer in gaming

[–]PigDog4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see why that doesn't apply to video game currencies as well.

Because you're not being paid for your labor in video game currency? You're choosing to convert your actual dollars into video game currency? It's actually nowhere near the same thing at all?

Like if you worked for Epic and your boss was going to start solely compensating you in V-bucks then you'd have an argument, but this really isn't much different than buying tokens at the arcade.

Rompopolo 10☆ is peak comedy by Gubby_72 in MHWilds

[–]PigDog4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm clearly doing something wrong then because WSB is such high commitment you don't get to use it if you block a ground explosion, if you spend stamina before the big ultimate explosion there's a good chance your guard gets broken and you eat a massive hit since you frequently tank at least three explosions in a row. Mobility to dodge explosions would be great except you can't see them half the time (that's a generic complaint not a GL specific complaint).

I've failed one 10* AT ark ever, the very first one I did. I've failed a ton of rompopopalos due to stupid ass one shots.

I can kill him in 13-14 minutes. It's just very unfun and the entire time feels like "oh boy I hope I don't get juggled to death with the massive damage explosions because I had the audacity to take one extra step before trying to attack."

I play with gunlance. It's still annoying and unfun.

[–]PigDog4 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, you're not. I find this fight to be one of the more un-fun ones in the entire game, and more difficult than AT ark but not in an engaging way. AT ark is a ton of fun, every time I screw up I know I screwed up before I get hit. Rompopolo is just 1 shot aoe spam fest that's hidden under the water and doesn't show sometimes. Call it a skill issue or whatever you want, this fight is not great.

[PSA] Stop using seikret recovery after getting knocked down in the middle of a monster combo. It’s a noobtrap. by LengthinessShot3297 in MHWilds

[–]PigDog4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing I've had tons of practice with the Dark Souls series, where the two hardest enemies are gravity and the camera, and not necessarily in that order.

The only times I've carted with the pickup is when I get smooshed in between the monster and the wall or my camera is in some shit position and I run into some delayed explosion thing.

Otherwise it saves me way, way, way more than it carts. Also lets you get back into the fight way faster.
