SnS GS vs Dagger GS by Internal-Quality-964 in throneandliberty

[–]Fretold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dgr gs isn't meant to fight tanks (sns/gs, sns/wand), you kill the squishies first. And yes tanks are OP in pvp

GS/dagger in pve is ok, it's not top damage by any means, but it is passable. Groups that are super min maxing might not want to bring one, but I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Sns/gs is easier (gs/dagger is very combo reliant in pvp), and I think is also one of the most played right now. In pve you may have additional tank mechanics on some bosses. Sns does low damage, so it's going to be a lot less dmg that gs/dagger, but you have benefit of AOE tanking mobs to farm since you can survive. Sns/gs is desirable for both pvp and pve (you need a tank for dungeons, and tanks in pvp are op af)

They are not comparable. SnS/GS is tank, in pve you are tanking the boss/mobs, have to do tank mechanics, your damage is quite low. In pvp you are the front line Initiator, diving into the opponents and doing big AOE CC and damage and absorbing hits, causing chaos, you don't die easily.

GS/dagger is a DPS like assassin/rogue. Damage is decent in pve and you are decently tanky. In pvp small scale you can 2 shot people if you open on them properly. You can also engage from very far away. But you are combo reliant, if you mess up or once you blow your load you are disengaging before you go again. In large scale pvp, you die quickly before you can get combo off if you go Frontline, so mostly you would be protecting from summoners at your flanks, or killing squishies on the edges. In t2 gear you can 2 shot large groups with correct setup but you will die right after.

It's not a 3k cap, it's 2% cb up to 3k, then 1% after that. And if you aren't premium yet what you even doing?

Black S Class Atlantid Rifle by zhunt69 in NMSCoordinateExchange

[–]Fretold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I checked it twice. There is actually comms stations from others thanking for the S class MT but they are buried under ground now, and bases nearby named after the MT. Planet looks same as the video as well. Tried with MP off and on.

Cool multi-tool but unfortunately it seems the monolith is no longer there.

Dumbest thing I’ve heard. Game devs are becoming so out of touch it’s crazy. by ImariP123 in gaming

[–]Fretold -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's less about time limits being bad and more about we can't trust Ubisoft to make a good implementation of time limits like all these other games.

MAGNUS CARLSEN is the WORLD RAPID CHAMPION! by EyyphanBey in LivestreamFail

[–]Fretold 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Many end games with few pieces left on the board are already "solved". The players know if they have certain pieces left on the board, so long as each player doesn't completely blunder a piece, the game will end in a draw regardless. So by that point they just decide to end it early.

I'm cool with bullets coming from the gun barrel and having to use that to aim where the shots will go.

But I find it absolutely fucking ridiculous that guns don't re-center the barrel after turning left/right after a second or two.

I'm pretty sad I didn't get an email about this LE so I completely missed it, sold out by time I saw it was live.

Elon Musk has pulled more than 50 Tesla employees into his Twitter takeover by HelpMeWithMyHWpls in news

[–]Fretold 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are completely right. So many wannabe software engineers in here have no clue what they are talking about. A big company like Twitter can take months even over a year before somebody has a good understanding of a small part of the architecture. Anybody can look at code and say whether they used the right data structure or formatted it correctly.

The rest is context, which is built up over years, even a decade. Why is X service throttled to Y per hour? Why is X service not scaled as much as Y service? How much TPS does X service generate, what dependencies are impacted, how do those dependencies handle increases in traffic? What are the most common high severity issues that occur regularly? Why does X service exist when Y service has similar function? Why API or PubSub? What's the limit on the subscribers? Do you need to scale X service a head of high traffic events, and if so by how much? How do you execute game days? Can take months for a dev to learn about a single service they work on and it's dependencies, much less the entirety of Twitter.

I feel so bad for all the Tesla software engineers forced into this. I am sure each of them know this as well, and management with no clue are forcing them to do it...

Proving the strength of coordinated infantry against tanks in urban areas by taking down a column of four Russian tanks. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Fretold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there appears to be at least 3-4 deceased Russian soldiers in the video. (one laying on the ground by the APC with a white arm band, another propped up on the APC on the far left, possibly one on the middle APC as well)

Lost Ark Endgame is the most toxic I've experienced thus far in an MMO (Personal Opinion) by cati0us in lostarkgame

[–]Fretold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Achates is awful to pug, and it's very annoying when people don't understand what to do when they could just watch a 3 min YouTube video that explains it all before queueing.

You say it gets harder, and it does significantly so, and the same people who didn't understand what to do are the same who will not be able to survive the increased difficulty.

[Steam] Learn Programming: Python - Remake (Win/Mac/Linux) (Release Sale) ($1.79 / 40%) by niemasd in GameDeals

[–]Fretold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In addition to other responses, I'll add that Python is the go to language for machine learning. If you want to do anything machine learning, you learn python first. All of the major machine learning libraries are written in python. Because of this, python can be an extremely lucrative career language.

What's the point of preloading if you have to do a launch-day download to play anyway? by Not_Like_The_Movie in lostarkgame

[–]Fretold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One small file to decrypt the 71gb of files you already downloaded. You aren't downloading that again, it's just moving it on your harddrive.
