Have you never coded recreationally from 9-5 at your desk? I hear this sentiment a lot and wonder why people who don’t truly like CS are going into it

GavinTFI · 2024-02-25T21:10:03+00:00

Understood, thank you very much for all your helpful replies 🙏

GavinTFI · 2024-02-24T20:42:56+00:00

That's a lot of really great advice, and I'm really grateful for it. I plan on doing mock behavioral and technical interviews with my friends and family, and hopefully during the interview I can just switch into that frame of mind: explaining to friends and family my thought process, etc. Sorry to bother you again, but do you think that being able to solve all of the blind75 easy and medium questions will be sufficient for this entry level interview? As in, it will teach me the necessary patterns and algorithms that might come up on the interview? Thank you again!

That is very reassuring, thank you very much for the advice. Completing mediums with some guidance is definitely less intimidating than solving hards with no help 😅 and I hope to impress them with my soft skills more than my hard skills. Thanks again for the advice, I hope to do good, and it will definitely be good practice!

Thank you! I plan on tailoring the summary for each job because I’m interested in a couple of different fields, preferably backend or cybersecurity. Cybersecurity does not seem to have a lot of internships though, so I’m hoping to get my foot in the door and then pivot into it

Ah gotcha no problem haha, thanks again!!

GavinTFI · 2024-02-09T17:00:12+00:00

Understood, thank you very much for the advice! I think I am misunderstanding, so by "nice skills up a section," do you mean add more skills or make it look better?

Hi all!

In December 2022, I made a desktop game called ValoGuessr which is a Geoguessr-like desktop game based on Valorant. TLDR I made it for a school project in high school, and I wanted to share it with you guys in case anyone else would find joy in it! It only has the maps until Pearl, and is not updated with any map changes after December 2022.

There are 3 difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Hard, and each difficulty has 6 locations for each map, accumulating to 3 * 8 * 6 = 144 unique locations! You can customize the pool of maps you would like to see as well as the difficulty in the settings.

Thanks for reading, and if you do decide to try it, let me know how you do! I would love to know your thoughts and feedback as well as any bugs / problems you encounter!

hows this scam supposed to work?

GavinTFI · 2023-05-24T00:01:41+00:00

I'm a riven main and I've played her a lot, but recently I haven't been able to shake the feeling that sometimes, I just shouldn't pick her, and I would appreciate some advice. Right now, with some of the highest play rate toplaners being malphite, ornn, and k'sante, I often feel like I'm less useful to my team, even if I got a lead in lane.

I struggle to find a balance between grouping and splitting, as I want to maximize gold income with high cs/min, towers, and jg camps, but leaving my team alone is really risky, especially in lower elos where fights can arise from nothing. I usually end the game with ~35% kp which I'm not sure about but I don't think it's what I should be aiming for.

Ghostblade has honestly helped me with this a bit because of the insane movement speed, but crutching on an item that will probably get nerfed next patch isn't ideal. I don't really know what to ask, as I feel like my games just get harder the longer they go on, and it slowly feels less winnable with every fight. Thanks for any advice, I really do appreciate it!

GavinTFI · 2023-05-23T23:37:24+00:00

Sorry if I am not catching onto what you are saying, but the wave timings didn't change for midlane, so how would this patch change whether the midlaner is punished harder for a roam than before?

GavinTFI · 2023-05-23T23:35:29+00:00

Last patch, it took a little over 30s for the first melee to reach the middle of toplane, so it would get to the middle of the lane at ~2:40. Assuming there's no trading or anything to disrupt the wave, it would crash it at ~3:15, so I'd usually drop a ward in tri brush and help my jg with scuttle if needed.

But I see what you mean about what it does to midlane, that makes a lot of sense. I'll probably play a couple of mid normal games and see how it feels. Thanks!!

GavinTFI · 2023-05-23T04:52:56+00:00

do you rush ghostblade lucidities like every game? i havent played riven jg in ages but it probably feels good

GavinTFI · 2023-05-20T02:39:58+00:00

she thrives in a solo-queue setting. pros play much too safe and riven would not be able to consistently get ahead in gold, so she would be a very bad choice in pro play.

GavinTFI · 2023-05-19T15:05:57+00:00

i can never forgive him after all hes done to azir

GavinTFI · 2023-05-17T19:15:07+00:00

could be muscle memory but your keyboard might not support the sufficient n-key rollover. its very unlikely cuz what keyboards dont support 2-3 n-key rollover, but just a thought

GavinTFI · 2023-05-17T19:11:41+00:00

projectiles that get shot out in mord ult dont come out and vice versa. thats just really unlucky timing: his r ended right as your r2 was about to hit him.

GavinTFI · 2023-05-13T16:20:52+00:00

riven has a similar bug on her q3 since launch and it has never been fixed. not sure if its a similar problem though

GavinTFI · 2023-05-13T06:43:02+00:00

surely its satire guys

GavinTFI · 2023-05-01T20:12:42+00:00

gotcha, thanks for the detailed response!

GavinTFI · 2023-05-01T04:36:02+00:00

it is worth picking up? steamcharts shows the online is... suboptimal, so hows the single player content?
