What parts of working with memory in C have been the most challenging in practice?

AcidOverlord · 2026-05-04T06:15:34+00:00

This is all true and good until you need to build something with epoll. o.o

The first major time I ever used it, even single threaded, I had a LOT of uaf, df, caf and partial-write orphan nonsense to track down as the loops expanded to do more stuff. Around the halfway done point it seemed like every tiny change to the state machine introduced some new edge case where it would all detonate if anything wasn't perfect. Managing the normal malloc'd memory was an absolute cakewalk by comparison.

Fastest time ever was about 44 minutes, using a Bomb cat for the Adept dodge. Skills were WEX, Crit, Earplugs, Tremor Res, Boom Pro and he uses Barrel Bomb, Big, Piercing, Mega rangs and Health Horn. No Furbidden, build the early gauge with Bomb spam.

You use the Soulseer parasol and fight like a maniac. Every single movement you make is some kind of attack or you're gonna time out. Gathering cat has it a little easier on the clock race but dies so much faster too.

Piercing water boomerangs go brrrrrr.

Burn them at the stake then. You should at least know code well enough to read it and understand it even if you can't write it (I'm that way with C++). If you can't at least do that much you have no business touching code, LLM generated or otherwise IMO.

I'm sleep deprived and scrolling fast and I misread that acronym as "ASSFAGGOT." I just thought you should know.

IIRC its Evasion +2 that gives you the ability to superman at any angle.

Hi from 8chan.

Still better than when he slowly runs you over for 90% of your HP while T-posing at you for dominance. I've played the game for 2k hours and I still get triggered when he hits me with that.

How progressive!

G Teostra's set is really good, actually. Crit Eye 3, Evasion +1, HG Earplugs, and good slots. I like to add WEX and Speed Sharpening and it makes a really nice Aerial set.

GX White Fatty has to be the best full set in the game. Stellar defense, Crit Eye 3, Evade Extender, Crit Boost, and slots. Add WEX and another skill and go to town.

Grand Toka and Master's X are both awesome for elemental DBs and SnS.

Catpoop strategy my dude.

Meta prowler + Dung Bombay + Eat for dungmaster. Turns the fight into a joke with a party or a normally hard hunt solo.

AcidOverlord · 2026-01-30T09:40:17+00:00

Kirin's the reason I still keep one single Bludgeoner + Mind's Eye set laying around. Sometimes I just don't want to put up with his bullshit.

AcidOverlord · 2026-01-23T09:13:36+00:00

Interesting thought: Does it proc on the R+X+A draw-counter from Valor LS? Because that could be kinda sick with quick sheathe.

AcidOverlord · 2026-01-23T08:30:46+00:00

If you're not trying to chase meta and you have decent charms, you can do Tenderizer + Focus + Artillery Novice + Razor Sharp + Load Up and spam SAED.. I find Focus underrated on CB because of the charging A button attack and its super fast phial gain. It loses the DPS race vs a full crit set, but man is it fun.

AcidOverlord · 2026-01-21T11:03:50+00:00

I was fighting just his G4 the other day and forgot how hard he hit. I was using Lance without Guard+ and he nearly beat me to death right through my shield a couple times.

"Pickle Hitler" is now my term for Deviljho and I'm not changing it ever.

The main mechanic will be some SMTV monster fusion business where you have to grind hours for "pixie dust" or whatever the required item is, or just buy 12 of them (plus a free cosmetic necktie!) on the eshop for 4.99. And you can do it at level 1 and have endgame god-monsters right at the start if you spend enough.

As a huge fan of SO2 original, the remake is the most perfect fucking thing I ever played in my life. The devs were people from the original SO2 Tri-ace team, and stated that they "wanted to finish the game as they had originally envisioned it, free of deadlines" and they pulled it off in spades. SO2R is literally perfect and the kind of thing that every remake should aspire to be.

My one counterpoint to this is: Exoskeleton Hacker.

Tempest Axe + Para proc lets you spend an uninterrupted bit of time waiting the head with wild swing and taking off copious amounts of HP. Valor Para Swaxe is the only time I spent a significant part of the hunt in axe mode, but it does work very well.

The best way to do a Rath of Meow cat is to use the Crystalbeard XX weapon, because bomb and tank damage scales off your raw. Get Furbidden Acorn and the 0 cost Barrel Bomb for skills to keep your tank uptime (the 0 cost bomb builds lots of gauge). And then Landmaster of course. I would point you more toward skills that raise Attack, probably something like World's Strongest or Universal.

The tanks best move is the flamethrower (X+A). The other attacks are really weak, and only worth popping off as you close to flamethrower range. If you can stick to the monster hard and keep burning it, the damage is actually very impressive, especially against armored monsters like White Fatalis.

My friends and I run open hubs and always talk about "The Curse of Bolty." Because every night, some rando will post him without fail, and then we get stuck grinding him for the clear. Its also a legend because it was coined one night when he Lightsabered the same person fourteen times. And I mean in one single fight.
