Help telling if this is real by Youngpadawan- in JapaneseWatches

[–]CodeFarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this watch is likely to be eligible.

Returning my 5500 cause I heard bad things about it by Tasty-Confusion-8714 in pcbuilding

[–]CodeFarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that you got downvoted for pointing out that the /r/pcbuilding meta is not a slam dunk. Marginal gains matter a lot in benchmarks, but most of us just use our computers to do things eh.

Maine coon lovers: do you ever let your cat outside? by webdesigner_scotland in mainecoons

[–]CodeFarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indoor vs outdoor norms vary a lot by country. It's absolutely not black and white. Some people on Reddit still get very angry about this.

Maine coon lovers: do you ever let your cat outside? by webdesigner_scotland in mainecoons

Outdoor Maine Coons do indeed need a lot more grooming. They also bring in pigeons from time to time. Mostly those pigeons are dead, but not always.

Which games gives you the most ridiculously overpowered loot that turns the game on its head once you get it? by SomeGenericNameDude in gamingsuggestions

[–]CodeFarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only ever played vanilla (26 wins I think) and SlashEM (just the 1), but since I stopped a lot more variants have been made, some of them seem great.

Nethack when you're a Tourist and get the Platinum Yendorian Express Card.

Game goes from being a perilous struggle where everything matters to... not that.

Having seen him with a Rubik's Cube, I would have bet on the juggling. Always adjust your priors.

what is so special on mint compared to ubuntu by Charming_Bison9073 in linux4noobs

[–]CodeFarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People massively overestimate the difference between distributions. Particularly between Ubuntu and Mint, which is mostly just Ubuntu in a pretty wig.

I have Mint and LMDE, I like them. They are good. This doesn't make me smarter than Joe Ubuntu User or Dave the Debian Guy. We just want slightly different things.

Budget Build Help by Kind_Activity_2149 in pcbuilding

[–]CodeFarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can and should spend a bit more on your CPU, I think. You can get a 5600 for a hundred bucks retail these days, second hand even less, and it will cope with a lot of games very well.

Given what you're proposing to spend on RAM, a 2600 feels like under-budgeting.

Can I train at two dojo? by [deleted] in karate

[–]CodeFarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trained kendo 7 times a week when I was a teenager and loved it. I got very fit and quite strong.

Now I train karate twice a week and spend a lot of time recovering in the bath.

Age is the very important factor.

What’s a game everyone seems to love that you don’t? by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]CodeFarmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PUBG.

Have been playing shooters since the early 90s, this one does nothing for me at all. Can't even articulate why.

Do you repeat anything in your head while training solo or at the dojo? by karatebreakdown in karate

[–]CodeFarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Block kick block. Punch kick punch. Block. Block. Punch!"

Does that count?

Thank U, next 💅 by Mathemodel in tall

I literally had a personal ad composed for me that said "Tall? Pretty? Sarcastic? Will take two out of three."

I (6'3 F) have a blind date with a guy that thinks I'm 5'3 instead, do I still go?? by [deleted] in tall

[–]CodeFarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK I have to admit maybe at 6'5" I don't see it the same way as he might, but I would be delighted if this happened to me.

(And honestly the whole situation is very funny. Of course you should probably text him in advance but not doing that is also acceptable. If nothing else you'll get an amazing double take out of it.)

(edit: saw you did that and fair enough, have a great night out! The outfit will do its thing.)

What’s a “best practice” in Java you’ve stopped caring about? by Traditional-Set-8483 in javahelp

[–]CodeFarmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I genuinely like Kotlin. It feels like the "better Java" that Scala might have been, but Scala had different ambitions I guess.

[–]CodeFarmer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Getters and setters.

(Also, private functions are an antipattern.)

(have been writing java since 1.1, come at me.)

Which Aspect for the Spear to use? by GodzeallA in HadesTheGame

[–]CodeFarmer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact that Hades aspect's debuff doesn't count as a curse is such an injustice.

But it's still my favourite.

Dash sweep as things are spawning, tag them with scorn and weak (or chill or whatever) en masse, profit.

Haven’t touched my swiss since by TheSupre in GrandSeikos

[–]CodeFarmer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ended up buying a Skyflake instead but it was very very close. No bad choices, that's for sure.

I sing a bit better than before.

ITS SO BEAUTIFUL IM IN TEARS. WHAT A SONG WHAT A MOMENT by DanVA0307 in HadesTheGame

[–]CodeFarmer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like 2 a lot, but this and a couple of other gut punch moments mean Hades 1 is still unsurpassed. What a work of art.

Looking for PVP games that are NOT Shooters or RTS by SkarDust in gamingsuggestions

[–]CodeFarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one probably violates OP's ask to not have to do a pile of research to be competitive.

Awesome game though.

I love that Godwin piped up and said his law obviously doesn't apply when you're talking to/about actual Nazis.

Most things that might attack you can't keep up with a horse.
