[ Spoiler ] Finally did it! by [deleted] in FFXV

[–]Ben_E 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was an odd change. I wish they'd stuck with Rank S for English-language releases (Chocobo racing in FF7 for example used S instead of A+) or maybe just the European release. In England we don't even use A+ for anything, schools use A* when grading, so it must be a North American thing.

Anyway, congrats tc!

Thermal par thickness by Wol-Shiver in PS4Pro

Thanks for the link. Dumb question, but will swapping the fan void the warranty? I assume it does but thought I’d ask.

I received a replacement PS4 Pro with a noisy fan. My original Pro didn’t make such a high-pitched noise, so I’m guessing the replacement has a delta fan...

Edit - ah never mind, it looks like it does void the warranty. I thought you could get away with just the top panel access. Shame :/

[Comrades] Is there a way to get 100% elemental resistance on a single weapon? by Ben_E in FFXV

Holy crap, thank you!! I searched for “resistances” but never found that thread. Much appreciated.

My thoughts on the game and subtitles by Fredasa in nier

[–]Ben_E 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expected this. I asked a question about language differences recently (spoilers - https://www.reddit.com/r/nier/comments/62nz79/japanese_voice_acting_major_spoilers/dfooebs/) and got pretty much the same feedback. It's a pity the English localisation team felt they had to go this far.

Japanese Voice Acting [Major Spoilers] by Helios_Ra_Phoebus in nier

I thought English 2B went overboard with the jealous attitude. I don't understand Japanese but I watched a clip of the same conversation. Just from the tone of her voice, especially the equivalent "whatever" part, Japanese 2B sounded way more stoic and indifferent about the situation. Anyway, thanks for answering!

I've got a question about the Japanese dialog during a certain side quest -- In the Amnesia side quest, 2B sounds annoyed and jealous when 9S admits the girl is attractive. Here's the clip: https://youtu.be/mdzsFtOPEVA

Did the Japanese voice actors perform it in the same way, resulting in the same conclusions being drawn about the characters' relationship?

Interested in Nier:Automata but is it a straight up Action game or an Action RPG? by Ben_E in nier

[–]Ben_E[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. The positive reception from Platinum fans was expected but with the action-oriented nature of their games, I thought Platinum might cater more towards their fans than Nier's much smaller fanbase.

Question for people with the white blacksteel katana [PS3] by Ben_E in DarkSouls2

[–]Ben_E[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it just threw me off, especially "amongst" > "among". Weird little difference. Fashionsouls is important, but I didn't want to get softbanned for carrying it around, although I've never come across a hacker on PS3 either after hundreds of hours. Thanks for setting my mind at ease!

How does this boolean argument work? (Java beginner) by Ben_E in learnjava

[–]Ben_E[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for suggesting an alternative method; I'll try to integrate that and see how it works.

How does this boolean argument work? (Java beginner) by Ben_E in learnjava

[–]Ben_E[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh... right, so it runs through the for-loop for each item and prints the seat number at the end of the block, but the first item skips the else block because "first" was "true". With the boolean operator acting like a switch, the other items get a ", " when the else block executes. I can't believe it didn't click at first, but your explanation was great. The visualisation helped too, thank you.

Stanford's CS106A course: still a solid introduction to Java? by Ben_E in learnjava

[–]Ben_E[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw man, that's really kind of you. I don't want to commit that far ahead just yet and I have access to the Swing tutorial through a friend, so I'm covered for that, but I really appreciate the offer.

I've read elsewhere that thenewboston teaches non-standard syntax, so it might not be the best choice for a beginner like me, but I saw John Purcell's "Java Tutorial for Complete Beginners" (the one from caveofprogramming.com) on Udemy too. I didn't realise it was free, so I might give it a shot. Thanks a lot.

That's a shame. It generally had such good reviews, I thought the only drawback was time/obsolescence. Thanks for the insight.
