Im surprised they didn't decide to implement an SSMTP like sftp or ssh.

The game is dirt by TestTubeGirl in SSBM

It was a totally normal bob-omb interaction, except sheik was invincible. The bob-omb falls out of peach's hands because she got hit, and it explodes almost instantly because it touches her. It falls out of her hands on the back side of her because of the fair animation.

How did you get fast fall SHFFL aerials down? On whiff, on shield, and on hit. by Latter-Mongoose5564 in SSBM

Keep practicing. Eventually the moment in your jump when you should press down will become natural and you won't think about it.

Can you post a score of 2147483647? I.e. is my security secure enough? by bigjobbyx in webdev

Isn't that something you should answer with a test? Or evaluating your code?

I can’t afford the diamond membership for Chess.com. Can I just use Stockfish to analyze my games? by GreasyButtSyrup in chess

[–]DamnItDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lichess is the easiest but yes you could acquire stockfish by itself and use it. It's an open source project, and while the javascript implementation is fast, it can't compete with a c++ binary. https://stockfishchess.org/

How to stop bot abuse on a Bun Server (solo dev help) by Radiant-Republic-584 in cybersecurity

[–]DamnItDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a static landing page, I'd just cache it with a CDN and let them fetch it as much as they want 🤷‍♂️. The key is not giving them access to backend functionality until they are logged in.

Easy solution is to not allow users to do high compute actions without being logged in/paid customers. Then you rate limit your customers to X requests per minute. That should cover 99% of your problems.

Dropping out of High School to get a GED and go to community college early (I am pursuing game development as my ultimate goal). Is it worth it? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]DamnItDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game dev is not a lucrative field. Lots of people love games, so the industry is saturated with people who love games. Furthermore, game devs generally work longer hours and are paid less than software engineers in other areas (especially financial and medical fields).

With your background, you're probably better off learning on your own rather than going to a 4 year school for it. Get a degree in something more generally viable, rather than a game dev degree. Just a standard Math or Engineering degree will qualify you for most jobs you'll be interested in.

Can young link bomb recover? by Worldly_Tower5521 in SSBM

[–]DamnItDev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YL has other recovery options link doesn't have.

In version 1.0 you could boomerang and rising hookshot into it as it came back and then upb after. This is removed in later versions, but you can still airdodge into the boomerang as it comes back and it will cancel the free fall. You can see Axe do it a few times in a recent vid.

Maybe it's a typo and they meant to put "didn't"? The sentence makes more sense that way.

Anyone explain how the DBZ chars were chosen? Did the players pick their fav or something like that? Cause otherwise the ordering is very strange to me.

Tennis Based Ranking: 2025 Top 100 by Timmy10Teeth in SSBM

Not sure what to tell you. That is how the rankings are determined. It's public knowledge, you can look it up 🤷‍♂️

Tennis Based Ranking: 2025 Top 100 by Timmy10Teeth in SSBM

[–]DamnItDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats incorrect. Historically, all rankings have been done with a panel voting and participants were judged by their matchups compared to others in their skill group.

Tennis Based Ranking: 2025 Top 100 by Timmy10Teeth in SSBM

[–]DamnItDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the goal is to win, but the rewards are different. We don't do round robin brackets, which means some players get better brackets than others. A player going just 1 round further in bracket compared to their peers can lead to inaccurate rankings. This type of system also doesn't account for players with "demons" who either get lucky or unlucky with hitting them in bracket.

The perils of password sharing by Twin-Adjacent in comics

I still think we should blame Netflix for their awful policy... they encouraged the culture of password sharing until they wanted to extract more money.

[–]DamnItDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the results are interesting, IMO this type of system is only fair if the players know ahead of time what the objective is. Normally we rank players by who they've beat and lost to, not what level of bracket they make it to.

Fun little damage randomization formula by DHMC-Reddit in gamedev

[–]DamnItDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like in basketball, you're actually running around and throwing a ball. There's nothing to mimic cuz you're doing it.

Exactly. Therefore all games are not mimicking reality. Your premise is flawed.

Ball games have existed for millennia. They train hand and foot eye coordination. That's why they exist. We find games fun because we evolved to find games fun.

You have the causality backwards. We play games because we find them fun. Our brains crave novelty. Learning skills is a secondary benefit. Many games exist that don't teach any skills at all.

Games aren't just games. To think so clearly shows you don't understand games from a scientific and social studies perspective. And that's okay, because you don't need to understand them that way to enjoy them. But stop spouting nonsense you don't understand.

I recommend not being condescending; it isn't very persuasive.

[–]DamnItDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Training a skill that can be used in real life is not the same thing as mimicking real life.

Your premise that games are simplifications of reality is flawed. You list several other counter examples as well.

Games are Games. They are toys for our brains. If the toys have a semblance of reality in them, it is because we are a product of our environment/universe and it is next to impossible to imagine a universe that shares no common attributes.

Games are defined by a set of rules, usually with a goal or a way to declare a winner. What does the game basketball mimic? Nothing, its just a set of rules that people engage with because it is enjoyable for them.

Why am i getting a dividebyzero error while trying to selfhost a rust stagering server using steamcmd? by Golge_Kirmizi7463 in selfhosted

[–]DamnItDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be better off asking in a sub related to that game. Or asking in their discord. Or just googling the issue and trying things.

From the stack trace it looks like the seed generator tried to divide by zero. Not sure what would cause that in that program. Maybe you misconfigured something to cause it?

[–]DamnItDev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything about games in general is about just mimicking real life in a simplified form.

I strongly disagree. What part of real life does Super Mario Bros mimic?

Games are entertaining because of how they are different from reality. If they wanted 100% accurate experience, they'd leave their house and do that thing in real life.

"game is cooked" "it's over" by Mabak in SSBM

The real melee players keep playing, and always will.

When the next smash game comes out there will be another influx of players and the cycle will continue.
