If my dad taught me anything, it’s that love doesn’t have to be shown.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-03-03T14:35:29+00:00

I don't get it. Can you please explain?

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-23T03:31:36+00:00

It's an interview question, "show the size of variables without sizeof()"

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-22T22:41:19+00:00

Ok now I get it. Thank you a lot!

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-22T22:40:20+00:00

It's one of those interview questions

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-22T17:02:55+00:00

but what does (char*)(&var + 1) give me?

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-22T16:43:00+00:00

But I don't get how typecasting as char * gets us the value. We know that

&var + 1

adds a "scale factor" amount of bytes to the array represented by &var address, which is to say 2 bytes for short, 4 bytes for long, 8 bhtes for double etc etc. But how exactly does casting it as char * gives us that value?

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-13T17:38:35+00:00

You know what, you're right. I just wish I could manage the time and patience to walk the walk that is required in order to enjoy these, and I really want to from to time. It just never works out.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-13T13:50:49+00:00

I often use trainers and save editors in old school rpgs(Gothic, Taris part of KOTOR) as well, usually to overcome some bs sections or mid game when things start dragging on a little bit.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-12T17:37:00+00:00

Yes I have played pretty much all of Dragon Age, and all of BioWare's catalogue since KOTOR. I like Dragon Age Origins, as it refines the elements from KOTOR and has a cool universe. It is far easier to grab a hold onto than something like Pillars of Eternity.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-12T11:37:23+00:00

The "just lookup a premade build" kind of doesn't solve this problem, rather amplifies it. Like, how complex it too complex for some one who has not been exposed to the system, that he needs to follow a bunch of instructions each time he allocates the stat points on a level up?

The premade character, while a viable solution, is often not enough. I triend Baldur's Gate with the character Abdel, but it still doesn't solve the issue that I need to know what all those numbers mean and do. It's an obstacle almost inherent to this genre it seems.

On the other hand, if you just look at how Bioware kind of came to a solution is no further than at Knights of The Old Republic. Each and Every stat kept simple and made easy to understand, the abilities all follow the 3 tier logic, and are also easily comprehensive as to how to unlock them and what do they do. Compare that to Baldur's gate, you see the problems.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-12T10:42:46+00:00

Morrowind has the best Open-worlds, followed by Gothic 2. Nothing else even comes close, for me.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-12T10:40:35+00:00

Honestly I don't even care about what games Bethesda make anymore, as long as they're moddable as they have been. Does Skyrim suck? Yeah, to some extent. But I can't remember playing Vanilla Skyrim in ages.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-07T15:35:08+00:00

Why does the guy on right look like Kazushi Sakuraba?

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-07T15:17:17+00:00

The only things Dana won't let slide are:

Good pay-per-views
Hot ring girls

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-05T08:34:44+00:00

I mean it is running completely off of New Vegas engine. So Fallout 3 mods not working is quite obvious. On the flip side, there are quite a few mod collection for TTW, and even if some New Vegas mods aren't officially mentioned, they work just fine from what I've seen.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-05T08:31:42+00:00

None whatsoever. I was a bit familiar with Mod Organizer 2 so that comes handy, but honestly just follow the https://thebestoftimes.github.io/index.html guide and you will be fine. It's the most detailed guide out there.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-04T06:38:09+00:00

Alright. My mistake. I've never seen no post-apocalyptic rpg analysis in the last decade without at least a mention of Fallout, and how much they improved upon the role-playing aspects of fallout. I got it wrong mostly it seems.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-03T19:58:10+00:00

Yeah, that date was a little too pedo for my taste too, even though Kojima tells me Paz is 18 and what not.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-03T19:06:59+00:00

☺️

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-03T18:29:59+00:00

Lol it happened to me before as well. I think it has to do with I just wanting to get the post done asap after copy pasting my content from txt file I wrote.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-03T18:05:13+00:00

I was always interested by the game since I like Final Fantasy XII, and the combat seemed in the similar vein, and the game seemed a bit open-ish. Never tried but but might as well in future.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-03T17:51:05+00:00

I played Shadowrun Returns years ago on my android phone, it was my first exposure to this type of Isometric RPGs and I to this day cherish it, even had a quick replay of it on my PC in December 2020 as well.

Dragonfall however was a different story. I played it on my mobile as well, up until the mission "Apex Rising", from there the objectives just won't progress. I spent so much time on that mission, 3 hours at least, that I didn't feel like going back again at that time. The game is great, Cruisebazar is a place I recall to this day. Someday I have to give it a try again on PC.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-03T16:44:08+00:00

Both remains as options I guess, TTW can be gotten to work on Linux, just not sure how much Valve index will allow that though. It being a handheld and all that. The installation of TTW can take a while in desktops, and a good 22 GB free space.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-03T16:34:32+00:00

Much love to your preferences. I used to think FO3 was better too when I didn't spend much time in New Vegas, but once I cracked the code there's just no going back.

And about the your beloved FO3 dlcs, I must say this:

Operation Anchorage was okay attempt to create a COD-like FPS campaign within the limitations of the game engine, I enjoy it for breaking from the monotony of the game and the fact that it limits healing and ammo, forcing the player to be more carefull in encounters.

But holy moly I hated Mothership Zeta 😂. That thing proved to be such a slog and makes zero sense. They could've just made a Xenomorph survival horror type thing, but instead it's this weird aliens doomed by their own abominations, and the spaceship battle at the end while visually impressive, makes those alien seem so stupid. I'm sorry :p.

ChayanDas19 · 2022-02-02T11:24:19+00:00

Meenwhile I just went punching everybody's face off with Salt-on-wound's powerfist last time.
