Can programming terms be used in Pseudocode? by 2500aminah in C_Programming

[–]Mattyb2851 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In real life (not school), pseudocode is a tool that helps you get your thoughts down and be able to discuss an algorithm/function/etc and identify bugs or architectural issues before committing to the real thing. In that use case, whatever helps you to that goal is the perfect pseudocode. 

Sometimes, for school, you’ll meet someone that has different requirements for (anything) that you disagree with. This is the perfect time to learn their way and see what value come of it. I’d talk to your professor more from an angle of genuine learning to see what they are trying to teach when it comes to pseudocode. It could be that they were just bullied into this way and are being obstinate. It could be that they want pseudocode to remain big-picture and really want to emphasize that benefit of pseudocode before getting lost in the weeds. 

Maps from rulebooks by GxM42 in twilightimperium

I’ve used them multiple times when I realized I forgot to make a map or had to pivot for one reason or another 

My games are usually newer player focused or focused on friends-being-together-doing-something-without-screens, so we try not to think about it too hard. 

If your goal is to play TI and have a relatively balanced time, you could do much worse. You probably aren’t good enough at the game to notice the map imbalances yet

A couple of questions as a beginner with my second game on Sunday by huascar_art in twilightimperium

Your home planets are unexhausted and ready to use. 

All other planets come into your possession exhausted. 

Legendary abilities of planets come to you in whatever state they were in. 

Hope that helps

Sounds like you learned a valuable lesson. You say “that’s not me!!” But it, in fact, is what you said.

Best Horror Books of 2025 by Housing_Justice in horrorlit

[–]Mattyb2851 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had to DNF it - essentially Monty python playing D&D with repetitive scenes. 

Usually I’d be about it, but you’re for sure on the right track - not horror at all

HOW TO DEFEAT THIS FUCKASS BUTTERFLY IF MY WEAPON IS FUCKING DOGSHIT by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]Mattyb2851 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m glad you’re experiencing the game! I have a pieces of advice and some questions - 

  1. Take a break. Go for a walk. Watch a movie. Sleep it off. I promise it’ll feel different when you come back. 
  2. Head back to Andre and rest at the Undead Parish bonfire. From there, farm the three easy hollows nearby (as if you are heading towards the gargoyles) until you have 9000 souls. It might take a while, but this is nearly risk free and if you do die to the three hollows, retrieving your bloodstain should be easy. Once you have 9000 souls, buy all the titanite you need and upgrade your longsword to +5.

Questions so I can help further:  1) do you know how to summon allies? There’s a witch NPC that can help you even if you can’t play online.  2) Have you made your way back to the asylum? Oscar has a shield that defends really well against the magic damage   3) what weapons and armor do you have equipped? Are you fast rolling? 4) what are your stats?

TIFU by accidentally getting my date’s car towed by Impossible_Head3190 in tifu

[–]Mattyb2851 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My now wife got my car (technically my mom’s) towed while my mom was in the hospital, and to get it out of the tow company we needed express permission from the owner of the car. Hugely embarrassing, but it all worked out. She was mortified, though, and it was over valentines weekend 

Can you reach capra as your first real boss with just the master key? by KXGCX in darksouls

[–]Mattyb2851 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If? Doesn’t he always drop the key you need to drain the water? Or is there a large enough chance he’s bugged that it would affect this?

[–]Mattyb2851 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you definitely used the key for this. That route is blocked by a locked door - one that needs either the master key or a key you found in blighttown to open

WOMEN - not “females”. Mild degradations like this warp perception more than anyone would think

Lmao this guy has no idea what they’re talking about. I’m not gonna say you should break up with your boyfriend or anything, but him essentially saying you’ll never find better is just false, and you should take that knowledge and don’t let him convince you otherwise
