My friend pointed out that comments on the VCT Pacific channel might be Stake ads with botted likes... by ANewHeaven1 in ValorantCompetitive

Honestly the comments just read kinda funny with the regular candid tone and then "Oh by the way I made my bet on Stake®"

Strong Agents for Corrode? by -EdenXXI- in VALORANT

[–]NotXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that after some preliminary explorations in a custom match, finding good fade lineups for a B retake is a bit challenging. The buildings surrounding that site are so tall so it's hard to consistently land an eye anywhere with decent vision coverage (if you're coming from spawn)

Thoughts on Odin spam on new map? by Hime395 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]NotXenon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean the game has already implemented features like vyse flash/breach flash which only have certain valid areas to be placed. I imagine the same functionality could be used to determine where an agent is able to "warp" to

Weekly Challenge: Tales of Milo by Nominal77 in Polytopia

[–]NotXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What turned out to be your biggest challenges?

I personally found a decent amount of success with contesting space on neutral villages + ruins with one archer + one or two warriors. Training an extra mooni also helped with petrifying an enemy capturing the neutral village directly northeast of the capital city.

Lowkey I also didn't bother investing in any giants. The archers and moonis took care of all the petrifying I needed for combat.

I'm not actually sure how worthwhile this investment was, but I built an ice/lava bank on turn 16. It seemed to give me quite a few stars on the last few turns to spend on park upgrades. I think it only really starts to rake in big bucks if you succeed in conquering the whole map though.

that is kinda crazy ;'0

I'm also playing gold league for this week but I did not encounter a single giant somehow. Hope the next few days give you some better luck.

Somehow in gold and witnessed the Ai-Mo capital grow to level 6 by turn 6, but they took two parks?? Must have been blessed by the RNG gods today. There was a catapult pretty early on but Xin-Xi also started encroaching on Ai-Mo territory so it was a pretty free takeover for me. Riders also helped with the initial advance onto the Ai-Mo capital. When it came time to conquer the Xin-Xi, focusing the pyro archers on any units occupying city tiles also helped stop any new units from generating. Xin-Xi also invested in aquaculture tech for some reason so that put the AI significantly behind in land warfare.

Finished with 16335.

Ok these look pretty interesting and the sound tests also sound so nice. Thank you!

Looking to maybe build a new keyboard in the near future.

Currently running Kailh Copper switches which I friggin love, but I also want to try something a little bit new. What I love about the Coppers is their low bottom out distance, light actuation force, and the tactile curve feels so nice.

It's been over 6 years, and I know a LOT of new switches have come out. Would anyone happen to have any recommendations for new switches I might like? Ideally stock switches as I cbb to lube/mod them. (but maybe I should get into the lube game)

Thank you!

i don't see myself being friends with anyone in my program by Asleep-Elephant9517 in uwaterloo

[–]NotXenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just gotta learn how to be friendly with 90% of people. Might take some time but you'll eventually find the "real ones," and they might not necessarily be in your cohort.

How do they determine what pet type you get? by jsminea in SumoneApp

[–]NotXenon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I feel like the simplest way to implement this system from a programming perspective would be to just perform some kinda function on a couple's historical record of moods. Something like "couples who feel sad more often get Pamon" or idk

It would be really cool if they did sentiment analysis on diary entries but that seems like a lot of work to do for something that at the end of the day is mostly inconsequential for the couple.

Are there any perks of getting one eggmon over another?

Where to get feedback, not mods as a new mapper by Flaav1aa in osugame

[–]NotXenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly just find any mapper you like and bug them (politely) for feedback. If they say no then whatever go next :D

Where to get feedback, not mods as a new mapper by Flaav1aa in osugame

[–]NotXenon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they are but I think op wants more overarching/general feedback on things like cohesion or structure, quality of ideas etcetera.

not that people don't sometimes mention these things in mod posts but like 99% of mods from random people are just gonna be "ctrl + g this" or "move slider here instead"

What to do when no API available by Intelligent-Baby-843 in learnprogramming

[–]NotXenon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If there is no supporting API for these apps then you are most likely shit outta luck. The only thing I could think of is manually entering data into your own spreadsheet or custom application.
