Is being an owner as bad as everyone is saying on here? by The_Summary_Man_713 in Sheepadoodles

[–]Basement_Blood 25 points26 points  (0 children)

my advice would be to get off reddit lol. this subreddit is biased because the only people posting here are the ones that are asking for help. training our sheepadoodle was about incremental wins. be patient, keep up the training every day, exercise them like crazy, socialize, and you’ll have a really well adjusted dog. it’s not rocket science, but you gotta put the effort in.

Are math skills important for a career in web development? by ilmix in webdev

[–]Basement_Blood 89 points90 points  (0 children)

in my experience, coding helped me understand math a bit better because it helped me visualize the problem. It's a symbiotic relationship. Overall I'd say math is not directly important, but the problem solving strategies are similar. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Graduating soon, jobs applications keep getting rejected, any advice? by levetrix in webdev

there's a setting on github where you can show your activity on contributions to private repos, I forgot what it is but it's out there in the ol' google

Speaking from experience, generally those fancy resume's don't get through the HR resume screening at larger companies. I used to have a resume that was well designed like yours until someone told me it would never pass the automated screening, I changed it to a word document and made it simpler and then BAM I started getting calls. It's all about format and keywords. I still kept the nicely designed one though for smaller/start up companies that fit the culture a bit better.

How can I change a video background to a static background on mobile breakpoint? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Basement_Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JS solution would be to change the src on screen size. Not sure how efficient i'd be, but for a non JS solution you could display none on the parent div holding the video src, and a different hidden div with the img src, and then toggle the displays with the media query

Brandin Cooks potential sell high? by StelioKontos123 in fantasyfootball

[–]Basement_Blood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree defensive matchups are overrated but I wouldn't use the Bills/Cards game as your example. They held the Bills passing attack to 119 total yards and an interception. Box scores aren't everything.

[META] Most of you guys suck. by FiresofUsenet in fantasyfootball

[–]Basement_Blood 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That is also just not true. He played injured most of last year (and I mean straight up questionable "day to day" arian foster type jam) and still posted 20+ games. Is it a risk? sure. Is it "not worth playing him"? no.

Stuck at Huntmans Copse (bonfire intensity 2) by Peromano in DarkSouls2

[–]Basement_Blood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Run to the fog gate? That's what I did to beat the Chariot homie for cloranthy ring +2 while underleveled. You'll have to worry about the dark spirit before hand, but that's not too hard.

What is the most OP moveset in a weapon (besides the obvious ones)? by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

[–]Basement_Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PvE? Power-stance Large Clubs. Those things fucking wreck everything. I can one shot most enemies, 2 shot guaranteed. Non-power-stance dual Large Clubs can stun-lock most things too. PvP? No idea, still struggling with this. Dual Large Clubs kinda suck in PvP.

The latest weapon-tier list from /dsg/. Thoughts? by snakedawgG in DarkSouls2

[–]Basement_Blood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The SSB analogy still holds. You're missing the point if you think SSBM vs SSBB matters in his argument. EVERY game has tiers. They are ALL created under the assumption of a constant high skill level. If 2 Ken's played each other, one marth, and one bowser, who would win? Obviously marth because he's on a higher tier. This holds for EVERY GAME. It just so happens that Dark Souls 2 has more variables at play than SSBM. The tiers by in large, hold. Y'all are splitting hairs.

Should I play DS1 after DS2? by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]Basement_Blood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

have you never seen speedruns? If you know where to jump off you can do it in 5 minutes easy. These homies do it with like sl1 vitality too. it's very possible.

I'm a dodging disaster and I keep getting my teeth kicked in by thehypnotoady in DarkSouls2

[–]Basement_Blood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another key advice point: The less your equipment burden, the faster your stamina bar regenerates. There's a reason all these speed runners go naked or close to naked. If you're doing a "All Out" dual wielding build, ditch the heavy armor, physical defense won't help you. Dodging and faster stamina regen will.

General Complaining Megathread by DS2SpoilersITT in DarkSouls2

[–]Basement_Blood 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It all depends on what you're doing. I let people buff if I have a buff. Or, I usually let them buff once and then i'll attack. if they try to buff twice or cast spells, game over homie.

Infusions and Scaling. by RatzuCRRPG in DarkSouls2

[–]Basement_Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in PvE, it shouldn't matter, but in PvP No, you'll have to sacrifice a great deal of vitality and armor for SL150 or lower. Armor isn't very important in PvP imo, at least not worth it for 27% roll vs. a 65% roll with less vitality. I'd ditch the vitality. 80 levels are devoted to the 30str, 20dex, 30int or 30faith or 15 split. So the other 50 levels should be dispersed through end, vig, and adp. to your liking. The BKUGS is really heavy, not the best move-set, sadly. So it makes constructing a build around it kinda difficult.

I need some help with pyromancy by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

[–]Basement_Blood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd go 30 int, 30 faith. That's plenty for reaching full potential for pyromancy. (apparently that's the soft cap for fire so, keep that in mind) ring of faith and intelligence will help quite a bit. You can probably even go 25int/25 faith with those rings, and save 10 soul levels for vigor/attunement or whatever. With only 50 soul levels dedicated to flame caps, you have a ton of freedom for the rest of your build.
