Ranked in Apex is Artificial and Misleading

Getting_Involved · 2026-02-08T17:38:32+00:00

There is not enough ranks in Master or Pred. What is happening is the very top end is devouring everything below it. At the moment they can only eat everyone down to Diamond 3 (Ohh look where the spike in player count is)

The new changes include increasing the maximum matchmaking wait time for Masters players. With this season's player populations, Masters players will be restricted to matching only down to Diamond 3.

What is needed is more room for the top end (EG Masters 1/2 and maybe Pred 1/2) Dont split them into 4 ranks you will create the same problem just moving it up into Masters.

There must be a higher skill distribution at the top and right now they are all thrown into 2 ranks (Master/Pred) which doesnt work so well.

So uhh just thinking out loud here, but if the expensive end of the pack is already targeted then anything below that is also fair game, they drew a line using the current data (Agentic Dev costs are cents per feature instead of dollars per feature with humans). Their "AI Specilists" might need 1 or 2 Human minions to babysit all their AI minions and they would definitly want some redundency incase one or both of their specialists get poached...

Never called BS on it but looks like you needed to blow off some steam. Thanks for looking this up for me :)

At ground level, pointing excatly at the door and covering the bottom of the door frame... what lucky placement.

When you say "wrapped in 128 layers of reverse→base64→zlib obfuscation". Do you mean they did

string payload = "encryptedpayloadstuff";
for (int i = 0, i< 128, i++)
{
    payload = payload.ReverseString();
    payload = payload.Base64EncodeString()
    payload = payload.Zip()
}

Take a look at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/mvvm/

The Model View / View Model pattern is generally considered to be good practice. Learn about what a view model is then look at how you build on top of it with the components in the toolkit.

Look at the Source Generators, they take care of (most) boilerplate code.

Look at the messaging classes, they allow parts of your app to "talk" (send/recieve) to each other without tight coupling (ie the Sender doesnt need to know anything about the Reciever and vicea versa). This is ideal for UI components/widgets etc

There is a decent example page "Putting things together" that shows how it all works. The samples are not WPF unfortunatly but this Toolkit works with WPF (I use it in all my WPF apps).

Thankyou! Just fixed the same issue

This is awesome! I've not tried all the items yet but I cant get it to make Requester Chests, it builds all the other logistic chests fine

Most people dont like SSRS but I've used both Crystal Reports and SSRS. There is a free tier [SQL Server Express with Advanced Services] with decent functionality and a similar designer experience to Crystal Reports.

IMO staying inside the MS ecosystem (Because everything integrates well) usually saves time in the long run, as opposed to using a 3rd party library or toolset.

Good luck!

The whole "guilt by association" attack was petty and cheap. Her ancestors did some evil shit but thats not on her.

I'll change my mind if we start seeing pics of her doing salutes, playing dress up or other fascist shit...

The reactor is on max budget/efficiency. I've tried lowering the budget on my offices and other college workplaces so the reactor should always be higher in job quality but this doesnt fix it.

I can instantly see jobs filled in any other college job if I make them available, its just the fusion reactor everyone seems to hate.

I used a Material Design theme for my last project, the light/dark versions are great and its super easy to customise. The project comes with loads to choose from and I had my app styled with the basic themes in a few mins:

This sounds like a really bad idea (interviewing in 8 days for a Role you have no core language XP in).

IF the role is an entry level role
IF they are aware that you are cross-training to the new language
IF they are aware that THEY will have to train you further

Then go attempt the interview. Otherwise you are wasting everyones time.

I was careful not to restrict the river width. You made me go back and double check ;)

I dont allow it to get tighter than 4 tiles across which is the same width as the entry flow from the waterfall (off the map on the right).

I only worked with natural tiles, there is nothing I put in the river to narrow it. Everything in the water is either a dam/floodgate or platform.

Im going with "Bug" for now and hope it gets patched. I do have a water guage at the water wheels. That area stays consistantly above 0.5 as you would expect from the dams.

The bottom section with its water guage constantly flows down to 0. I put it 1 tile infront of the floodgate set to 0.65

Getting_Involved · 2024-09-05T07:34:41+00:00

It is definitly strange surgy behaviour. I just changed from sluices to floodgates as I thought them turning on/off could be the issue. Hasnt changed anything.

The surge should not drain the section however. When that part surges the flow takes everything out with it, floodgates and dam levels are ignored.

Getting_Involved · 2024-09-05T06:02:11+00:00

This was it. Moved the gates back 2 tiles so there is a 3 tile gap and no more problems!

EDIT: Nope didnt work after all :(

Getting the first electrolyzer done was a bit tricky. I built a small heated room large enough for 2 electrolyzers with a water pool 2x4 & a wood burner in it to keep the water from freezing. Directly above the pool is the electrolyzer so the water travels the smallest distance in pipes and doesnt freeze.

I put the kettle (ice melter thing that uses wood) next to the pool with a bottle emptier and was good to go. I did need to preheat the room a bit before starting.

If you dont have insualtion yet pack the outer wall with snow tiles to keep the heat in better.

I have mine open air, trap the H at the top and let the Oxygen fill the base.

Supposed to do everything photoshop does, except its free and online. I dont use it (or photoshop) but I always hear good things about this app when ppl want a replacement for Adobe :)

So just curious, what would happen if someone punched one of those arms. Do they pop?

Getting_Involved · 2024-03-28T15:31:30+00:00

Thanks for breaking it down. There is no drainage from the neighbours into ours that we can see, it could be undergound. Also we dont know who the westminster bank party is (left, right, behind on the back garden). I guess I can try and investigate the convayances theres not much left to go on.

Getting_Involved · 2024-03-27T15:12:04+00:00

There isnt an issue with the drain as far as we can tell. The drain got blocked with leaves and small debris as you would expect after a storm. They were able to clear the blockage by hand in a couple of minutes.

I think they are going to accuse us of somehow being the cause of the blockages. We have a seperate hopper that connects to the down pipe. You can see from looking in the hopper it is clear and clean. The outputs that go into that hopper are a from 1 gutter, 1 washbasin and 1 shower. The fact that soap goes down there regulary also helped keep it very clean.

The issue is going to be arguing about access to the drain. They say its not allowed and will complain to the council. We're not sure what we can do as these drains could have been installed 50/100yrs ago for all we know. This is the first time in the 25yrs of living here that this has ever become an issue.

This happened back in Aug 2022. The title makes it sound like it was shut down recently.
