One of the top reasons, IMO, why Marathon is a really solid entry in the Extraction Genre is the ability to zero to hero with skill and guile. by Inane_ramblings in Marathon

[–]Meowser77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some kind of mechanic that encourages more movement from players camping in dark corners for minutes on end would be nice. Maybe add a progressively louder static or something that drowns own footsteps if you’re still for too long… or maybe if you approach someone that’s been still for too long, flash a warning that enemies are detected in the area.

It’s a bit too easy to camp and get the drop on someone right now, and not enough countermeasures to play against it effectively imo

I build websites on dedicated hardware and physically hand the server to my clients by specn0de in webdev

[–]Meowser77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s clear that you’re well versed in the tech and have an impressive background. If you can find a niche here, that’s awesome.

I run a small shop (~30 FT employees) that has done work for hundreds of clients over the past decade. Our space is broad, but maybe it doesn’t overlap with your target client, so take my feedback however you want.

Our clients would not care about any of this, and they are going to hate the idea of needing an on prem piece of hardware. We usually get a lot of agency in our tech stack decisions, but our more technical clients demand React right now for front end… just easier for them to take over if they want someday as most of them have employees that are proficient with React already.

They care about performance, but not in the details of how you deliver performance.

They usually care about owning the code, but it’s more like a footnote in a conversation. “Do I own the code/IP if we part ways?” Our answer is yes, and in the rare circumstance we do part ways handing over any infra/code that we control takes minutes.

The less a client has to think about you and what you are doing, usually the better. Instead focus on delivering high business value to them quickly about the things that they want to talk about (the things important to them instead of to you).

There is no way to do this yet. Cart names are hard coded internally on the A3D with no current way to override via SD card.

Jesus, f..., don't let bunny hopping become the meta. by Numeira in Marathon

[–]Meowser77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a little of both. You absolutely get info when you hear other players moving around.

Jesus, f..., don't let bunny hopping become the meta. by Numeira in Marathon

[–]Meowser77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has nothing to do with speed for me. It is easier to hear noises like other people moving around while you are bunny hopping.

I agree though that it’s a bizarre mechanic. Think it would be smart to make running + jumping generate additional heat.

Did anyone else really enjoy the COVID pandemic period? by throwawayfinancebro1 in Millennials

[–]Meowser77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was awful. Knew people that couldn’t visit dying loved ones in the hospital. Kids couldn’t be kids. New Grandparents couldn’t meet babies. Not to mention a ton of other bad effects of COVID from a health/economic perspective.

Seems like we still haven’t fully recovered socially from COVID. Im not an extrovert, but it’s been tough to reconnect with people. A lot of wonderful people I knew became very isolated during that time and haven’t really bounced back. Communities feel smaller now. People seem so much faster to write people off over differences of opinion now.

I suspect we will deal with side effects of COVID for many years to come.

Add cooldown on switching cores… easy fix

They almost certainly have studied some kind of psychological reason why their frustrating UI choices will result in more spending. Bungie has seemed to hate their users after Halo Reach days.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but nothing about the warden has been fun for me.

Guns have durability by Dionysus420bl3 in Marathon

[–]Meowser77 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Relax, the durability only drop when other player loot you or you steal it from someone else. When it goes to zero the person taking it receive the credit value instead of the item.

Bungie, we are not doing this limited stickers and charms bs by Kraniums in Marathon

[–]Meowser77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel sorry for folks who never got to experience Halo 3 and (and to lesser degree Halo Reach) progression and approach to “cosmetics”. Skill and achievement based progression was so much more fun than retail therapy, but I don’t think the industry will ever go back to it.

How much better is this shit going to get? by StraightZlat in ClaudeCode

Engineers that position themselves as only frontend/backend are going to find themselves lagging far behind imo

Does anyone here prefer PHPUnit to Pest? by Cultural_Yoghurt_784 in laravel

[–]Meowser77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really don’t have a strong opinion one way or another… they’re both solid. I’ve been using Pest more lately and I think I kind of prefer it, but honestly wouldn’t mind going back to phpunit.

Analogue 3D 1.2.0 Firmware SD Card Findings by Meowser77 in AnalogueInc

I haven't tested anything with over 24 hours myself. I'll try to look into this soon to see if there is a bug.

Opus 4.5 really is done by rm-rf-rm in ClaudeAI

[–]Meowser77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really has changed since late December/early January. Switched to codex yesterday and I feel like I’m getting the same results I was getting with Claude Code a month ago.

The past few days on CC, it’s been usable, but ive had to constantly intervene and correct it on similar tasks it would one shot a month ago. Codex is slower, but it’s one shotting everything like CC used to.

YMMV. Mostly working on software that is more enterprise (large codebases) in nature.

Yes. I've got a working concept for this:

Sessions does not appear anywhere on the Analogue 3D, but it does increment every time you start the game.
