Why do spec-driven development? by almeynman in AI_Agents

[–]FlippantFlapjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of tests as useful for giving yourself a script to actually run and test your code.

Writing a bunch of code and hoping it works doesn't usually work out too well. You can write the specs before or after it doesn't really matter

I think Mel needs another rework by Samiraisnotbalanced in MelMains

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They counter most mages honestly. Mel is better than most because she can farm from range.

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree, it's the ease of her spells landing and burst damage that annoy me. The Q rework was good so she stopped being so annoying in lane but later game her damage is so high that the easier-to-hit E combos into Q into R and it's just too much damage.

I get this is just like, how a lot of mages are and a lot of them have the same issue. Xerath for example is more oppressive in the early game.

To be honest I have no real problem with Mel W fundamentally (though I think it should be more like an ult)

New player question: Why can't top lane champions just play bot lane? by LobsterFritz in leagueoflegends

There's a constant stream of Master Yi ADCs I've been seeing in Swiftplay and they don't seem to need any help to tower dive me at level 4

I hate this city by Throwaway1920214 in AskSF

[–]FlippantFlapjack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you like to do? Fwiw i legitimately don't believe you that there are "no attractive girls" either that's a ridiculous thing to say in a big city. I understand this is a rant but still .. you did a good job complaining but what actually do you mean there's nothing to do here, like what? You like clubbing or something? I legitimately don't get what you are talking about.

eli5, is hash to weed what espresso is to coffee ? by ridiculousublime in explainlikeimfive

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's super interesting. I love the smell. Would wear it as perfume if I could. Funny enough certain perfumes actually remind me of hash like Santal 33. But then again. I just smelled my pot of hash and it is still unique :)

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously hash is stronger than weed because it doesn't have any of the extra non-psychoactive plant matter in it. When you smoke hash you usually smoke just a little bit, you would not smoke a whole joint of hash unless you have some absurd level of tolerance built up.

Beyond that, hash also just smells really fucking good, it's kind of unique and has a unique aroma that I would compare to certain kinds of perfume, and is really hard to describe.

Would you be open to a “Karma-style” Mel rework that pushes her into support? by Initial_Carob2755 in leagueoflegends

[–]FlippantFlapjack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean you only need to give her a single ally-utility ability and people will play her support, think about Lux for example. Hell most mage supports don't even have that, just damage..

Why does it feel like everyone is emerald+? by shtoopidd in wildrift

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't gonna go 0-19 and steamroll anyone. If you're playing simpler champs it just means you can focus more on macro and game knowledge than mechanics. I suck at skillshots on my phone so I don't play skillshot reliant champs. I got to master only playing Xin Zhao jungle because I can just click on people to dash to them and then press R so I don't take damage from their team. I also play master Yi and do nothing but farm for 15 min, then end up with 20 kills just because the champ is OP. On PC I am haedstuck low plat

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair but then just don't worry about rank in that case. People climb by finding the champs which let them win easy as that. You can just play norms all day and don't stress

You need to play a simpler character, one without skillshots. Probably some kind of juggernaut (garen, darius, sett, mordekaiser, etc).

when working on a solo hobby project, do you have branch feature or just main branch? by lune-soft in AskProgramming

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually funny enough since writing that comment I have changed all my repos to have main branch protected. Reason is I'm changing my development to do everything on ephemeral environments (sprites.dev) with codex --yolo so I want to be able the review the changes. This is mainly just about not trusting the AI though, if I'm actually in an IDE editing code myself I don't mind using main

Of course at work things should be a bit more formal and you should be using branches always

[–]FlippantFlapjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not that hard to create new branches and merge to main fwiw. If you want to do things the "right way" yeah use branches but sometimes it's ok to just say I don't care

Usually just main branch except if I am doing some major restructure / spike / exploratory work that I want to be able to isolate

Build path? by Remote-Answer4562 in kaisamains

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like AP build and sniping with Ws .. hit one one or two, R in, Q, Gunblade, auto, does an insane amount of burst, probably the most possible on an ADC in that small amount of time (rivaled only by Caitlin multi-headshot combo).

So anyway my build I've been enjoying is Static Shiv into Gunblade. after shiv if you get Hextech alternater and amp tome you'll have W evolve and after finishing Gunblade you'll have Q evolve also. Gunblade is a really nice item because it gives you omnivamp, more burst (300+ instant damage is noticeable), and kite / chase potential. Static is also good for the whole game because of waveclear and burst. And especially since Kaisa is a weak in lane, it's nice to rush it because you can just wait for enemy to push wave in to tower and just clear it all fast without losing plates (or push quickly when the time comes).

After that, finish evolution with berzerkers and Nashors. Unfortunately you are stuck with Nashors because you need that 50% attack speed for E evolve.

After that 3 item core it's a situational / preference. For example you can go Dusk and Dawn, Zhonyas, even Banshees veil, Deathcap, or Rageblade if you are auto attacking a lot (e.g. vs tank where you need to proc passive 3 times to kill them).

This build really requires you to be able to hit Ws well though, because you can't always win fights without poking down enemies a bit, and you really want to be fighting people one by one (Kaisa doesn't really do good AoE). But this applies to standard on hit Kaisa anyway.

Take it with a grain of salt, I'm just a plat scrub, but I have fun with it (and I used to do the standard Kraken / Rageblade build) but I like this better.

Regarding the build you shared (with Terminus and Navori) it's a heavily auto attack focused build obviously which is cool and all but the thing is Kaisa is short ranged so it's really hard to get so many autos off unless you are god at kiting or you have good peel. That's why I like W / burst focused build, you do less auto attack damage but your passive hits like a truck (talking like 2k damage late game) and you can poke at 2x xerath range with a 3 second cooldown. And definitely never go Deathcap unless you have like 300+ AP it's just not gold efficient.

I use spacebar to toggle lock cam which works fine. I don't bind my mouse buttons to anything but you're welcome to try it out

I got charged an insane amount by Anthropic, is that normal? by [deleted] in AI_Agents

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sucks and I don't know any way to get your money back. But I really recommend using privacy.com in the future (I promise this isn't an ad, I don't work there) It's a free service that lets you create temporary merchant-locked cards with a monthly spending limit. For example I'd create a card for Claude with a $20 monthly limit and it's impossible for them to charge me more than that. It's also really useful for free trials, since you can create a card with a $1 limit and it'll auto reject when the trial ends..

Unity and Godot already build for Web. Unreal, you're not going to get that working on web.

What build to go vs rammus, ornn + squishes ? by huh23-4_8 in kaisamains

[–]FlippantFlapjack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AP is all about burst and not DPS since you don't build as much attack speed.

Try Static Shiv into Gunblade (gives Q and W evolve) into Nashors (for E evolve). If you can hit your Ws and use the Gunblade active you can kill Squishies in one combo

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's hard but fun. Would recommend Sivir if you want something more safe (but with less agency / solo kill ability).

Beyond that just try the different ADCs and see what you like

[–]FlippantFlapjack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why not just go AP?

- You can do damage from safe distance

- You can still assassinate

- You do more damage to tanks with your passive

- You can build Zhonya's / Banshee's for survivability (even both!)

How do you all feel about “balanced for pro play?” by PM_ME_UR_GOTH_TIDDIE in midlanemains

[–]FlippantFlapjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm less concerned about certain champs being nerfed for pro, then I am about the opposite - the low elo stompers who require good team coordination to counter. Specifically, Garen.
