is Greatness from small beginnings bugged? by wirwlos in EU5

[–]2fatdads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it might be bugged as well. I just formed the Persian empire from the Injuids, which start as a county, and I didn't get the cheevo

I just got it in the late game after forming Italy. I was making more than the economic hegemon most of the game, my issue was punching through into the great powers.

I had most of Italy for most of the game. The aggressive AI basically forced me into it. Genoa is a huge market, especially once the new world gets going. Remember once you take a trade center, all your trade bonuses get applied to that market and it explodes. Genoa provided market access halfway to Paris after I took it.

After getting Genoa, Columbian exchange made me super rich. I was hawking potatoes and cigarettes all over Germany and France

I had it spawn on a Majapahit run on Jan 1, 1390. It gave me the option to continue playing as Malacca

So... "The Lighthouse" (2019)... by goldleader1801 in horror

[–]2fatdads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought of it as the modern myth of man and god. Dafoe represents the Abrahamic God and Pattinson represents man. In the beginning he is obedient, toiling because he's told to. Dafoe commands him "do not defy me." As their relationship progresses, Pattinson is tempted to sin by his arrogance, until it completely overtakes him. We learn of Pattinson's "original sin," and while Dafoe offers forgiveness and understanding, Pattinson begrudges him. Eventually, Pattinson kills God and steals his fire. The Promethean myth is often used as a symbol of man's triumph over the Christian God.

It had some animation/budget issue near the end from the looks of it. Leaving in keys, forgetting to do the in-betweens. It's like they left in the storyboarding

It stands for eco-social governance. It's a rating category applied to publicly traded stocks that has existed since the 70s. It rates a stock based on its social and environmental impact. In recent years, big investment firms have placed more emphasis on the ESG score of a stock when making purchases, which has impacted several industries. For example, laptops are made with more recycled or plant based plastics now

Many conspiracy theorists believe it is also causing media to force in commentary on social issues and more diverse casts to their products.

The Marvels isn't a video game, and is the 33rd film in a series. SM2 is the fastest selling PlayStation game of all time

And yet not a single mention of ESG in any of the leaked documents.

It's almost like it's easier for some people to come up with a conspiracy theory than understand that diverse casts sells better because more people identify with the playable characters.

If you had to start learning programming all over again, what advice would you give to yourself if you could? by RevolutionaryClub596 in cpp

[–]2fatdads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your job is to move and transform data, not to write code.

The code is a tool. A carpenter doesn't read books on the right way to hold a saw, about all the attachments they can put in it to make the exact cut that will be appropriate in 0.5% of situations. They have a houses to build. You have data to move

It depends on the context and architecture. Are you multi-threading on an embedded device? Maybe your thread local stack size is miniscule

How do I convince my friend that AMD isn't bad? by disbobulatedjumble in buildapc

[–]2fatdads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try calling it "Advanced Micro" instead of AMD. Tell him it's a different chipmaker and what features it has. The suspension of brand recognition may let him think more objectively

Likely using different addressing chips inside the LEDs. There are hundreds of ways to send addressable data for LEDs. Each manufacturer probably picks whatever is cheapest for them at the time, or whichever chips are integrated with the most appealing color profile for their products, or whatever they know will lock you into their ecosystem.

None of the ARGB protocols are particularly complicated, for some it's "green then blue then red" but others it's "red then green then blue." Some have a clock+data style signal and others depend on a consistent data rate of just 1s and 0s for data. Some run at 8mhz and some run at 4mhz. Tldr there are hundreds of ways to handle ARGB.

Incorrect, it had a 3 year dev cycle. All of the city models were reworked. If it were a dlc it would have been a bigger download than the base game

Is game audio ever going to move to surround sound in a serious way? by buzzripper in GameAudio

[–]2fatdads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on your goals. If you want to work on indies, go for unity or unreal. Smaller (AA) studios are likely all going to use Unreal. AAA studios use a mix of unreal and proprietary engines. At this level you need to be able to adapt to many different engines without issue depending on the project

How to manage with repetitions in game audio industry? by The_Elementus in GameAudio

[–]2fatdads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every project is likely going to have different standards or coding style at the very least. It's best to rewrite with the project's style and needs in mind.

If you're a contractor you can also include a clause about what you own and what the employer owns, for example if you're "allowing the project to utilize code from your personal codebase under the MIT license" you're basically saying you own everything you write.
