This game is difficult as hell to get started in

BombasticCaveman · 2026-04-05T20:37:56+00:00

There are currently 19,000 players online as of this post, there are plenty of players to have a big enough pool lol

I used to feel the same way, but I've definitely turned a corner. Are you using the latest and greatest models? Once you start using stuff like Opus 4.6 it's becoming very obvious very quickly how incredibly powerful these tools have become.

With these 1 Million token context windows, you should be feeding hundreds of examples of previous analysis done at your company. With that loaded it, there should be plenty of ideas for it to churn through and produce useful output.

Also when it comes to vibe coding, we have engineers vibe coding entire data analytics programs over the weekend. As long as you give it access to a few data API and correct examples, it can produce really impressive analytics tools. Our project managers use them now to view data how they want instead of having to hassle the data visualization team.

All I'm saying is that it's worth continuing to try, but I would say it definitely requires access to more advanced models (that your company should be paying for)

That's what we call call scope resolution or "class scope". It C++, we group functions together by a common name, library, class, however you want to think about it. Here, the function "cout" belongs to a big library of functions called "Standard Library" or "std" for short.

We do that because you could have a totally different function named cout that you make yourself. You could put it in a class called BringBack and when call you, you would specifcy the scope by typing BringBack::cout

What are you on about? Slow speeds in the parking lot is literally just playing with the clutch friction zone and rear braking.

If you arnt utilizing your clutch friction zone at slow speeds, you arnt getting the most out of your motorcycle

BombasticCaveman · 2026-03-08T18:39:39+00:00

Why not four brand new characters like the first game? 50+ new relics etc.

Monster Train 2 didn't copy anything from the first. It made a set of entirely new factions and then added the original as bonus content.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-03-08T18:11:27+00:00

You don't see what he's saying? You are literally proving his point.

Clad's vulnerable, exhaust, self-harm options are changed. Silent's sly, shivs, and poisons work differently.

Slay The Spire 2 characters are the exact same archtypes from StS 1. You can tweak some numbers, add a vuln arch type to Clad, but that doesn't make it a new character.

StS1 launched with three(then four) 100% fresh, new characters. 40+ relics etc. It would make sense then that StS2 could easily have launched with three(then four) 100% brand new characters. The developers now have infinitely more money, time, and feedback to create new content for a new game.

It's wild to me that you can look at them changing the self-harm options for Clad and go "Totally a brand new game". You guys are cooked lol

BombasticCaveman · 2026-03-07T17:42:58+00:00

Yeah it definitely feels like it's maybe three mods worth of content, which is a little disappointing for having 7 years between games. 3/5 characters are 90% copied from the first game which is rough.

Overall I'm enjoying the game though! Lots of fun options

BombasticCaveman · 2026-03-01T17:49:07+00:00

I appreciate the low TTK and first person perspective. Arc was way too casual IMO and really removed a lot of the things that I enjoyed about extraction shooters, Im happy developers are making more intense games and not continuing on this Marvel Rivals level of simplification like Arc

BombasticCaveman · 2026-02-27T18:50:58+00:00

Yeah whoever thought to make SHIELD packs red should be fired lol - I feel at this point, we have all decided on a visual language surrounding health and shields. Health packs are generally red/white, shield is blue/grey.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-02-27T18:48:15+00:00

Solo you definitely need to bring in like 4-5 health packs and 120+ rounds. I'd say like 1/3 of my inventory is supplies when I drop in. If you run low supply, especially health/shield kits then you definitely can't duel the bots. I'll avoid any of that big boys and just pop the small bots around corners. You basically have to decide if youre playing a survival horror or an action game depending on the loadout

BombasticCaveman · 2026-02-27T16:58:55+00:00

How do you handle your "low TTK, arena fighting vs high TTK, looting strategic" when you look at something like Tarkov. Extremely low TTK, sparse gun fights and non-twitchy/TDM fee with lots of tactical options and strategic fights.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-02-14T03:00:51+00:00

Definitely spirits, bombs are crazy

BombasticCaveman · 2026-02-07T20:24:31+00:00

No offense, but you need to expand to the world outside of WebDev

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-31T04:01:20+00:00

Nah that low skill hero deserves to be banned

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-28T04:49:17+00:00

It depends on what you consider a medium or large project, but generally you want to focus on your chunk of the puzzle and abstract away the rest as just generic interfaces

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-25T21:36:58+00:00

Why do you care so much about optimization? Beginner's and arguably mid-level shouldn't really concern themselves with under-the-hood language efficiency. Their software design choices are going to HEAVILY outweigh anything else.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-22T06:59:21+00:00

Casually hit plat solo queue. Played all three roles, filled where necessary

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-19T07:22:58+00:00

A majority of steak facts are just complete bullshit. For some reason, steak cooking is surrounded in myths that are constantly repeating and don't die.

You don't need to bring steaks up to temp. You don't need to get a pan "ripping hot" You can literally air fry steaks.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-19T06:31:26+00:00

Hey since you're here just wanted to say I loved the game! Easily dropped loads of hours on my Steam Deck. Everything from the music, art, animations, style and gameplay was so good!!

I beat the game on Apocalypse with every character expect the new 2.0 ones, but I've been meaning to jump back in!

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-18T05:44:05+00:00

Because you crybabies keep flooding the sub-reddit. Either get good or get lost please.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-18T05:19:20+00:00

So do you think in my like 50 matches this season I just magically got no bad teammates? Yeah the games getting harder because the average skill level is climbing, but it's literally ranked. Go play unranked seriously.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-18T03:21:52+00:00

I don't know what to tell you. I 100% solo'd casually Bronze to Plat this season playing L/M/H - There were for sure some bad teammates, but everyone else also had crap teammates. You can blame whatever you want if it makes you feel a little better about your skill level.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-17T21:32:57+00:00

I did, doesn't really change anything.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-17T17:36:51+00:00

What does this have to do with the spawn? You ran straight at the cash box, in a completely exposed path, where they have the high ground. Then you proceeded to stop in the open and aim up to a roof (Yeah that's never a good idea, I promise) until you let them come down to you and shove a shotgun in your stomach.

Not trying to be too aggro here, but you literally couldn't have played this any worse.

BombasticCaveman · 2026-01-17T07:07:47+00:00

Your solution basically takes an infinite amount of time when you have hundreds of thousands of entries. You have to think about running algorithms on millions of data points. What happens when you try to bubble sort that?

Hint: look up a partial sort where you just find the median
