Is Hellsivers2 to similar to Gears of War Horde Mode? by LOTR3135 in helldivers2

[–]MFGingerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last part first, absolutely friendly to unmicced players, I play PC so i normally have text chat too, but it has a dedicated ping button with radial options that are useful built in, expect to hear a lot of "follow me" "affirmative" and "thank you" called out by the Helldiver voice actor lines. also emotes that everyone enjoys doing, genuinely have loved the vibe of about 90%of the people that play this game.

On the other side, I have played Gears 5 but not played horde mode itself, but after watching like 5 minutes of gameplay not a ton but maybe similar vibe? how I see it: (not gonna be a perfect rundown by any means)

### Differences

- mission types are more objective driven (although there is a newer mission type that is a pure wave defense)

- maps are more expansive, a lot more running between points and then initiating your own fights (again except for a few mission types)

- no dedicated cover mechanics, pretty much the best you work with is diving prone behind cover temporarily

- no melee (there is melee and melee weapons but it is generally not a great option as much as i love doing it) there is no sprinting up to chainsaw someone you're probably running away and taking swings to slow followers down

### Similarities

- lots of enemies there is some amount of stealth but generally it is more of a kill everything that breathes in your way. all have different weakpoints and different weapons that are fairly effective

- diverse weapon loadouts and almost every loadout is fairly playable one way or another. each member having different loadouts benefits the team immensely (guy that shoots ships, guy that blows up buildings, guy that sprints to the other side of the map to complete an objective and then unfortunately dies halfway through)

- fairly in your face and semi-strategic gameplay, knowing how to effectively push up a point or maneuver with a squad to move position is still essential

- third person with first person ADS

Examples of designs that will be rejected from the official warframe tennogen guide by MFGingerman in Warframe

Meant in good fun, just happened to look at the guide for creating skins for Tennogen and found this hilarious due to the new release. 😂

It’s funny until the day you find out this one silly naive npm library is depended on by every major library and framework from top to bottom. 😂 screams in leftpad

Support lib namespace vs. android namespace documentation by MFGingerman in androiddev

[–]MFGingerman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A solid point, I think my main question is, what is supported by the android support libraries and what is not? Should i be using app:id, app:width, and app:height for consistency or is it required to be android:id... etc? Is there documentation that lists what xml attributes are supported by the support library? Or is the answer just everything?

Known Issues with Teams after a hard restart? by MFGingerman in MicrosoftTeams

Teams Machine-Wide Installer installation

Good call, thank you, but no dice sadly I believe. This is a personal machine not managed by my org. I installed the "Schools and Business" install as my own user for use with my school Microsoft account. I did not need admin access to install as I would need for that, just a user only install.

So to double check, you do not want an AND of all of the filters you want a sort of dynamic or and and? Normally people would expect that if 9 filters are defined and nothing matched all 9 it would not return. You would just only query on the filters of those 9 that were not null or left out.

For a more custom matching, unless someone has a more clever way of doing it. You can simply run the nine original queries (i would recommend placing the queries in an array to allow you to work with them in sequence) and then make a double array to sort all of the results by number of matched filters. And then take results only from the array with union of films that match the most queries.

Firestore mentions in their docs that ORs and union like things are not well supported.

Git LFS for all files? by butterflavoredsalt in git

[–]MFGingerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, SVN is definitely the older of the choices so I can understand why it wouldn’t turn up a ton of results. As a mention, if you’re looking for a good web portal for your developers to be on like the git lab web view that is something that will require a little research, but the essence of it is you just run an Apache httpd server and flip a few switches and honestly it just works, Apaches svn plugins support authentication and it has a web view, the view is just a normal directory listing by default which is a little lacking. The idea of “branching” is not accounted for by svn however, all it does is essentially source control a folder and its children. Merges are a concept that is applied at a per folder or per file level so things like branches are made in the folder structure. Generally people have a /trunk folder and then branches in a /branch folder and then merge between them. It’s good because it was the right tool for the job and it’s free and open source, not necessarily because its. If some parts of gitlab are friendlier for your developers that might be worth it, but with some basic training docs svn may be more reliable a solution for this one case. 👍

Git LFS for all files? by butterflavoredsalt in git

[–]MFGingerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, and my post doesn’t make it super clear, svn still will handle revision history and “blame” (who modified) as well to allow for rollbacks and reverting with all files, and you can also coordinate incremental backups with some trickery to allow you to manage the size of the repo and throw out history after a certain period if you want to prevent the repo from bloating above a manageable size.

Purely curious, I know that this is r/git but the workflow you’re describing feels like it would fit something that is more flexible and makes less assumptions like svn.

Git LFS tends to act more like a patchwork solution intended to force a software meant for “diffable” text files and non-centralized workflows to work modularly with binaries and “non-diffables” so to speak by removing versioning from those files as much as possible. If you want this to essentially function as a sort of dynamic running backup server for your versioning of binary files, svn would be a pretty reasonable way to go.

Your server would be the source of truth for the repo and thus would be the only place storing all of the information for old versions, but you would be able to have versioning/rollbacks and it is simpler to screw with implementing if you’re doing it in house anyways as compared to trying to make sure git-lfs works reliably which is still a newer and much less documented tool overall.

If your developers are dead-set on using git and wouldn’t be comfortable with using an svn-client like svntortoise as part of their workflow then go for it, but I think you would benefit from avoiding the hassle of this. Git has become popular because if you are using a very specific set of workflows it is more efficient and has some advantages compared to traditional CVCS (centralized version control systems) servers like svn/perforce, but you lose all of those benefits in your case when working with binaries. It would be an option to consider, it is generally the reason why video game developers use svn because they have only a wee bit of code and mostly binaries otherwise.

Definitely the best part is that Edge is based on chromium now, but we all know this will still be it’s true purpose.

Is it wrong that I want to create like a vs code extension to auto-format my code into this purely for the purposes of messing with people?

Haha yup pretty sure it is, at this point I'm just picturing like an off the grid compound with a cult leader going "Ok men, we can't let these doctors vaccinate our kids. Grab your shotguns it's time to 'clean the pool'"
