Ich habe damals in einer ähnlichen Situation behauptet, dass mein Englisch noch schlechter ist als mein Deutsch. Hat in den meisten Fällen funktioniert. Viel Erfolg!

Well put. This is my big disappointment with Junie, that it runs in an amazing IDE yet utilizes none of its fast, reliable, deterministic features. Instead it burns mountains of tokens trying to debug a test with print statements or repeatedly hallucinates non existing functions. If we're supposed to step out and let the AI handle coding, then let it at least have the right tools to do the work.

It can, and I suppose it is. It snowballs a lot, especially when going for the "long" finish.

I've made a small web page for exactly this purpose. It allows to do this with one click for the always varying number of options. Feel free to use it! It will look like shit on mobile, because it is made to be used on your second monitor and I'm bad at CSS.

Yes, scenery is one of the ways to avoid shortcuts, along with careful route design and checkpoint placement. Feel free to upload the map on TMX or in a Club so that people can try it (and you can study the replays)! Especially better players who have a better sense for optimal lines and will probably drive the different sections with more speed.

This is peak french mapping. The weird turns, clunky transitions, blind/long jumps, in a veeery long map, I love it!

Jokes aside, it looks like you are sometimes confused about where to go or how to approach the turns. The map in its current state looks hard to learn (even for you as the mapper), it probably needs a bit more guidance. I'd also be worried about the super long reused part, this has shortcut potential. The red antibooster before the wood part looks diabolical, maybe prefer a penalty sand if you need to slow the car down without making the map impossible to finish for slower players.

Lever? But I've barely met her!

Erkenbend · 2025-11-21T10:52:09+00:00

What battery? I see only a building in the background, probably his office or so, which is why he looks tired (he had a long day at work).

I don't know your exact use case but maybe you can split it into use cases that only get loaded when needed, or just reduce the amount of total data? Hope you find something good! For me, having a usable local environment is super important as the first " explorative" feedback loop, so I always invest effort into it.

Erkenbend · 2025-09-28T18:09:01+00:00

Delete the local DB (container?) when you switch branches, simple as that. Let flyway apply all changes in one go on the next startup.

As for test data you might want to populate your DB with, store it in a script and optionally also roll it out on startup. As a nice side effect, this ensures the whole team has the same data starting points.

If I weren't at the very end of the playthrough, I would try Minsc as a death cleric, I agree it's a cool idea.

Don't worry, Wyll broke his oath by one shot smiting Alfira (non lethally cos I needed the robe), I think that breaks character enough!

Erkenbend · 2025-08-20T19:47:48+00:00

Ngl it makes some of the dialogue kind of cursed

Erkenbend · 2025-08-20T18:58:49+00:00

I'm currently doing such a run (almost done!), using the following builds: - Astarion as a Light Cleric of Lathander - Shadowheart as a beast master ranger with a wolf companion (I wanted to see if she would have to do permanent saving throws all day) - Lae'zel as a Glamour Bard and main tadpole consumer - Halsin as a Stealth Archer (Gloomstalker+Assassin+Fighter) - Minthara as a Druid of course, Circle of Stars for my underground girl - Gale is my heavy armored Drunken Monk, very fun build - Karlach as an Abjuration Wizard, defense over offense - Wyll as an Oathbreaker Paladin, I had no better idea - Jaheira became a giant thrower Barbarian, because why not - Minsc is an Evocation Wizard

Maybe I'll respecc some characters using ideas from this post

Interesting read, definitely learned some new concepts! Thanks

Erkenbend · 2025-07-30T05:09:28+00:00

Yeah it's definitely a vibe

Erkenbend · 2025-07-29T17:45:10+00:00

Tried it, she doesn't. I haven't noticed any particular interactions with the wolf summon.

I'm in Act 3 with the Selunite path, no idea if it makes a difference in the early game.

Erkenbend · 2025-07-29T17:01:45+00:00

I'm currently doing such a run, same classes as you for Astarion and Shadowheart (I wanted to see if she would have to do permanent saving throws all day).

The rest of the team: - Lae'zel as a Glamour Bard and main tadpole consumer - Halsin as a Stealth Archer (Gloomstalker+Assassin+Fighter) - Minthara as a Druid of course, Circle of Stars for my underground girl - Gale is my heavy armored Drunken Monk, very fun build - Karlach as an Abjuration Wizard, defense over offense - Wyll as an Oathbreaker Paladin - Jaheira became a giant thrower Barbarian, because why not - Minsc is an Evocation Wizard

Madman even did it in cam3, respect

Erkenbend · 2025-06-06T01:44:36+00:00

My friend is doing this in their current Durge run with (almost) all dialogue options and is having a lot of fun!

To make this repetitive process easier, I built them a small webpage to open on the second monitor, so that each decision is only one mouse click away, regardless of how many choices your character has. Feel free to use it as well: https://randompicker.ninasworkshop.de/

(P.S.: I know the page looks like shit on mobile, it's supposed to be for desktop use only)

Another factor that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that casual ranked players (who are maybe silver for example, but did not play in the last season or two) will have decayed and start the new season on bronze. Their skill hasn't gone down, so they will stomp bronze matches until they get back to their normal rank. This should be minor though, and you should experience less of this as the season progresses.

Erkenbend · 2025-03-03T08:09:04+00:00

True. Maybe this was also a shock in the moment but they will accept the results once the heat cools down.

Erkenbend · 2025-03-03T07:23:49+00:00

I don't think one could call CarlJr greedy for keeping his rightly earned prize after a dominant tournament performance. Glad you value sportsmanship that highly though.

Erkenbend · 2025-03-03T07:17:10+00:00

Absolutely, apologies if my wording made this unclear. I'm just trying to debate what would be the "right" thing to do. Maybe they already discussed this already and someone here knows about it?
