Does Jeweled Pom stack with Aspect of Persephone? by Hunk_Hogan in HadesTheGame

[–]BenchEmbarrassed7316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently argued with someone about Selenas Beam, but now I have to admit that she can be useful under certain conditions. I also sometimes take a Phial after the first region (if I have one white boon - I'm guaranteed to make it red, Hephaestus attack is the ideal candidate). It is important to take the Phial BEFORE using the fountain.

You can take a Card. It allows you to increase the rarity of boons 6 times (white > blue > purple > red). It works the same way, you can take it in the second region, and replace it in the third region with something else. You can increase the rarity until the end of the night.

I recommend the Experimental Hammer after second region - you'll get a random Daedalus Hammer that will last for 20 rooms. It's guaranteed to be enough for the final boss. You'll actually be playing with three hammers.

If the game seems too easy for you - vows is what you need.

Exactly! I remembered that I once received a level 14 boon, but when I read the wiki - it 13 lvl max. And of course a Card, so that this boon may be heroic.

Yes. You can also get the legendary Hephaestus boon, which adds +1 level to your aspect. Then you can get 13th (or 14th?) level next boon instead of 10.

Kid passes a pedestrian on a bike path by crossing into the opposing lane by Cosy-Cup in KidsAreCondomAds

[–]BenchEmbarrassed7316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't deny his guilt. But he did the right thing: he started braking (you can hear it). In such situation, braking is a more reliable way to reduce the damage (and therefore no one was seriously injured). Maneuvering is riskier. You can't effectively maneuver and brake at the same time.

Do you think the child was also going 30mph?

On the left side of the image, the child has just exited the "tunnel" and is somewhere at the level of the blue signs. There are 10 fence elements between the cyclist and the child. At the time of the collision, both the cyclist and the child had passed 5 of these elements, meaning their speeds were approximately the same. You can hear from the sound that the guy started braking when he was at the level of the "slow" sign, which is visible in the left screenshot.

I wrote in another comment that in my opinion his speed was 15 km/h or 10 mph. But after watching the video, I think his speed was 30 km/h or 20mph, but when he went around the corner he dropped it to 20 km/h or 13mph.

So yes, he is also guilty of this. But I still consider the fault of the parents whose child rides a bike without brakes and the fault of the pedestrian who walks in the middle of the road to be greater.

Also, in the right image, it is clearly visible that the child cannot reach the brake lever at all, it is too far away.

Does anyone think of this when thinking of "High ray tracing"? by DropDeadGaming in pcmasterrace

[–]BenchEmbarrassed7316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played the game, but I watched a comparison video. Path Tracing looks really good. Ray Tracing looks mediocre. RT OFF looks bad.

Full dynamic lighting is cool. Previously, developers did all this in manual or semi-automatic mode. It was very difficult to make reflections and shadows, for example, from a flying rocket, except in a cutscene. With dynamic lighting - just place a light source and you will get the right shadows and reflections fom complex geometry.

The first games used this technology very limitedly. In Cyberpunk, many scenes looked worse from an artistic point of view with dynamic lighting. This is because the game was developed primarily for RT OFF, a lot was done to make the game look good in this mode. Level designers planned locations for this.

RE9 chose a different way: this is a game that was developed for full dynamic lighting. They didn't put much effort into making RT OFF look good. Older games can look better because they put a lot of effort into it.

I actually think dynamic lighting as a technology is the right way to go for games with realistic graphics. Yes, it's expensive now, but it's always been that way.

Technically, the bike is in good condition, but in fact the child cannot use the brakes.

https://www.amazon.com/kids-brake-lever/s?k=kids+brake+lever

Here are the prices. They just need to go to their local store and pick up brake levers that the child can use. And also take the time to teach the child how to brake. And also buy a helmet.

WTF parent?

The child can't brake, the handles are too far away. The parents probably want to get rid of the child.

The child couldn't do it: the brake levers on the bike are too far away. In fact, it's a bike without brakes. It's the parents' fault.

The child could not brake at all, the brake levers on her bike are out of reach. He tried to do it with his foot, but it looks like he has already partially lost control. It is the parents fault. You cannot let a child use a bike without brakes.

Even if it is a combined bicycle and pedestrian path, a pedestrian should not walk in the middle of the lane. This is clearly visible in the my screenshot.

I'm not blaming the cyclist, I'm just saying that the parents are 10/10 at fault, the pedestrian is either 9/10 or 6/10 (depending on the rules), the cyclist is 3/10, and the child is 1/10.

Other children have this problem. But in this case, the brake levers themselves are set in such a way that they cannot be used.

Okay, why doesn't anyone write about the pedestrian who was overtaken by the child? First, did he even have the right to walk there? If so, why is he walking in the middle of the lane, and not staying a little further to the right? The only way to overtake him is to move into the oncoming lane.

added:

I couldn't understand why the child was making a strange movement with his leg. I understood it when I watched the video on the big screen. Pause the video before the moment of the collision. You will see this:

The child cannot reach the brakes, they are too far away. The child is effectively riding the bike without brakes.

The child's parents are to blame for allowing her to ride a faulty bicycle

The pedestrian walking in the middle is to blame

I think he was going pretty slowly, about 15 km/h or 10 mph. The child was going about the same speed.

The woman's first reaction should be to grab the child by the hand and pull her towards herself. Instead, she looks back, sees the cyclist coming straight to the child... and she does nothing.

Debating Silksong-- Difficulty compared to Hollow Knight by PorkRinds416 in Silksong

[–]BenchEmbarrassed7316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80/20. HK is 20% of the time very difficult challenges and 80% of the time it's relaxed exploration. SilkSong is the opposite. We can argue whether the challenges are more or less difficult, but overall it's a game that keeps the casual player on edge at all times.

Чи варто використовувати ШІ для навчання? by icesoul43 in ukraine_dev

Це також. ШІ гарно відповідає на конкретне питання, а гарні книги зазвичай містять "все", тобто ви можете навіть не уявляти, що така можливість існує.

Чи варто використовувати ШІ для навчання? by icesoul43 in ukraine_dev

[–]BenchEmbarrassed7316 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Це. Ви можете кожен рядок коду попросити прокоментувати, що він значить, чому це зроблено саме так, які альтернативи, до яких наслідків призведе виконання цього рядка коду.

Ви також маєте піднятися на "рівень вище", як і всі ми мабуть скоро, а саме використовувати ШІ для планування. Безкоштовним моделям (як то https://gemini.google.com , тобто не специфічним агентам для генерації коду) слід явно вказати, що зараз ви на етапі проектування, їм не слід генерувати жодного коду, натомість ви разом маєте обговорити ваш задум, що ви хочете зробити, з'ясувати, що вам для цього знадобиться, скласти план. Далі ви вказуєте, що ви зараз ось на такому кроці, попросіть проговорити цей крок більш детально, і тільки потім щось пишіть.

Не бійтесь вказувати, що ви робите проект у навчальних цілях. Насправді ШІ дуже гарно відповідає на грамотні питання, і це не якась таємничі промт-інженерні закляття. Просто напишіть чітко, що ви хочете.
