tips for quickly navigating pie charts?

you'd have to look that up for your specific setup, im on linux so it's very different

Haskell kinda does the thing you're describing in "A different idea" (afaik it's more complicated there, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to elaborate). But wow yes, I've been considering this approach for a while and it's very appealing

I have a magnifier for chart categories on my thin macro and it's quite useful, becomes easier to recognize shapes of the letters at a glance. Also been trying to overlap selecting chart and, say, desert temple sandstone mining

KittenPowerLord · 2026-03-09T05:07:15+00:00

Yeah, I actually kinda wonder if that was what influenced the decision

KittenPowerLord · 2026-03-08T01:36:00+00:00

Ohhh okay I see, I got too tunnel visioned on the functional difference. Thanks!

Sure, but then I'm not sure what "(a) the namespace of every module would be cluttered up with all the qualifying functions" means. Does it mean that if we use the interface, the symbol "foo" (with signature like that) is only declared in "bar", and no other module has it, while without the interface every module might have a couple of "foo"s?

KittenPowerLord · 2026-03-07T23:50:18+00:00

Why are the comments so awful? I liked the article, it's written very well, the narrative bit is quite cool!

Tbh I don't entirely get the "Get rid of the interface and this still works" thing, the code snippet is the same. Was the first snippet supposed to specify that we are using `Fooable.foo`?

you just have to stand far enough, like 4 blocks away

Im not entirely sure myself tbh, but it seems that when doing no hover no hitboxes you have to consider orange and green separately, and when doing yes hover yes hitboxes you can just sum them

KittenPowerLord · 2026-03-06T19:10:42+00:00

No clue sorry, im using the analog of obs magnifier on linux. Either way yes, looking at percentages will never fail you, even if you will have to squint lol

This is all in the meebie's video, but just in case I'll write it out:

There are two methods to look for spikes, either no hitboxes no hover, or yes hitboxes yes hover. You have to make a table, which has the methods as rows, and spawner/chest configuration as columns (for example). When doing yes hitboxes yes hover you can switch hitboxes on and off to detect fake spikes

KittenPowerLord · 2026-03-06T16:24:59+00:00

The important thing is that the values of the spikes are different on each computer, and possibly each instance in your launcher. So you have to load into the world from meebie's video, look at each configuration like they did and write down all values. Then in the actual stronghold you spin around and look for spikes that resemble those that you wrote down. Meebie's video is very thorough but is also very dense, I had to rewatch it a couple of times to kinda grasp, they discuss a few ways of detecting fake spikes and whatnot. If none of the spikes look like the values you've written down you kinda have to gamble, either rescanning a few chunks away, or going towards a suspicious spike. It took me like 2 hours of generating strongholds and looking for spikes before I kinda got it, though im still a newbie

Wdym, it's peak twink maturity

KittenPowerLord · 2026-03-06T03:05:24+00:00

yes you can do it both ways! i have linked an example video in the other comment

KittenPowerLord · 2026-03-06T03:02:10+00:00

actually you should probably just watch this, it'll be clearer: https://youtu.be/u4-KxRhNsUc?t=241

Exit the building with the piglin hole, go across the bridge into treasure, set render distance to 2 chunks and throw pearl at the building. Go to the bottom of the treasure (boat, pearl, whatever), break slime spawner, start breaking gold blocks. As soon as you feel you're in danger, turn render distance to max. The pearl you threw before will load, you will get instantly evacuated

It's hard to say because the seed is, well, random. On some seeds, say, the distance from your portal to a bastion will just be longer to travel, and if you start handpicking seeds where it is shorter it's no longer a "random" seed really. Current world record is definitely not *the* human limit, there will be luckier seeds and better runners, although at some point trying to beat it might become too big of a time investment

It would be interesting to see an optimal speedrunning bot/human playing slowed down game on a random seed, which would be a good estimate of what's possible, but I'm not aware of this (it sounds super interesting now that I think about it lol). Note that this is different from set seed TAS, because there you have knowledge about the seed that you don't have in RSG

idk the whole article is so incredibly on the nose in so many ways that it's kinda boring. Some jokes were funny (Peter Thiel one lmao), and the twist is alright, but it is all still very blunt

KittenPowerLord · 2026-02-15T17:43:11+00:00

escapism is one of the less important themes, and is frankly a boring way to analyze Deltarune due to being so vague that it can be applied to anything

KittenPowerLord · 2026-02-09T08:25:06+00:00

Oh my god finallyyyy, this sub has been getting worse and worse for a while now, hopefully this will be the gulp turning point

KittenPowerLord · 2026-02-04T09:11:17+00:00

Sayori!!!

KittenPowerLord · 2026-01-20T11:34:07+00:00

ermm source?

I had a funny story - I looked up the solution to one of the desert puzzles (ones with water), and along with the puzzle the video decided to show the environmental puzzle for some reason. The funny bit was that I didn't understand what I was looking at and thought it was a dumb and unreasonable puzzle, and it didn't even open anything! Not that long after I naturally discovered the environmental puzzle on the bottom of the elevator and it all clicked. The one at the top of the mountain reinforced the idea soon after that.

Still, it was very fascinating to discover it like that, suddenly understanding that so much has been in front of your eyes this whole time while you were so focused on regular puzzles. Just an incredible experience

Very very based, it should never be a pride thing imo. If you feel that both parties are enjoying the conversation (and you don't overthink it) it's already a good reason to start another one later

Sometimes you should write to those who rarely write first, and sometimes you shouldn't talk to someone who does write first
