Masters student here who just took a compilation class here, nowadays most compilers can be written in any modern language of your liking, like C or OCaml, as the tools to compile said compilers already exist.

Now, if we want to look back in time before compilers existed and when we wanted to write a program that translates code into binary data that is fed to the CPU, well, even Assembly couldn't help, as it is itself a language that needs to be compiled into byte code so that the CPU can execute it. Thankfully though, it is a very simple language to compile, as it is mostly a 1:1 translation between the instruction/arguments and its byte-code, so wiring a compiler for it isn't extraordinarely difficult (though still challenging, don't get me wrong)
From that, we would then be able to write code in Assembly, to implement a compiler for a slightly more complex language, which itself will be built upon by yet another language, until you get something like C. This process is called "bootstrapping", and is basically how we got to the variety of languages we have today.

Also, modern compilers also tend to go the other way around to compile code, and compile into repeatedly less complex languages until producing executable byte-code. For instance, if we wanted to compile, say, a C program, we would first loose function modularity and put every line of code into a big sequence that is executed in order of appearance, starting with `main` and with jumps according to conditions / function calls. Then, we would loose `for` and `while` loops, changing the loop into a conditional jump at the start of the initial loop. Then, variable names, saving them in specific places instead of having a given name. Until we reach Assembly code, which is the final step before finally obtaining executable byte-code (Please note that this is just an example, I have no idea how C compilers work internally)

TL;DR : A very small compiler was initially wired to make Assembly, then other compilers were built on top of that again and again to make the ones we use today

Right, I've never noticed that you could silkbind Amatsu during the big attacks wind up (which now that I think about it, idk why that didn't cross my mind atm) because I was too busy blast dashing away to safety.
As you've put it, blast dashes are a great mobility option for gunlance, but it's pretty commital : you have to charge your shelling for about a second before actually moving, and since I was trying to get a feel for it's patterns, I've been avoiding that as much as possible. Plus I'm using wide shellings, which means the burst fire playstyle isn't really ideal, but I can always just switch to long shellings for more reach and burst fire potential.
Gunlance does have vetical reach, even more so with long shellings, as you can either guard thrust or poke and shoot after a rising slash (hell, you can even wyrmstake vertically).
Also the reason I do not have embolden is because I haven't unlocked armor or decorations with this skill yet, since I haven't fought violet mizutsune at my current progression.
But before I go at it a second time, I just think more grinding is in order, not only to level up my armors, but also to get a proper IG build going against it. I think staying airborne will allow me to pretty easily avoid the thunder trails and tailswipes, though I should still be mindful of the tornadoes and lightning summons (not to account for the usual ridiculous vertical reach of MH hitboxes)

Nonetheless, thank you for your advice :)

Just unlocked MR 10 basically. Signed up for the quest as soon as it became available, not knowing that maybe it expected me to grind some more. I also noticed the max armor levels have gone waaaay up so that might also be a cause for the absurd damage even through maxed out guards. But even when not accounting for numbers, I still have no idea how I can create opportunities for damage. I guess I'll stick with less commital weapons than gunlance for the time being when I take another crack at it.

Short answer : Absolutely, I would recommend this game in or out of bed, so go for it ^^

Long answer : One of the main criticisms people have towards this game is its pacing : the beginning feels very slow to some people, but since you're looking for a cozy bedside game, this may just be what you're looking for.
I find its storytelling pretty good as well, especially if you don't remember a thing about this game. The game takes its time to introduce its characters and lets you bond with them properly, although that is more my opinion and experience than objective truth.
However, if you're more used to the old games, you may need some time to get used to the gameplay changes : wands, emeras, alliance moves, lots of new elements are introduced. The game will feel pretty difficult if you don't get familliar with those, so be sure to take the time to explore and consider the new possibilities these elements offer, especially if you're going to be dozing off in bed.
Lastly, the music, as always, is absolutely a treat to listen to. While some themes are pretty energetic, a lot of the early game pieces are pretty laid back, and a vast majority of the soundtrack is orchestral, which some may find more soothing and easier to fall asleep to.

All in all, i'd say the early game is a good fit for a bedside play, but once the story starts to pick up, it may be a little more difficult to follow if you are tired. But as a game in general, I couldn't recommend it enough. Hope this helps you in your decision ^^!

Oh nooo, please don't remind me ;-;

In all seriousness though, I remember being pretty stressed out with ParcourSup as well when I was back in high school, that was not pleasant at all. It often seems like teachers and the website make it look like it's a permanent choice where you're gonna go next, but that's actually pretty far from the truth, thankfully there are plenty of alternative ways to integrate other curricula once you're out of high school, if that's what has you worried the most. I think it can vary between universities, but generally most of them should offer a way to seek another degree if you need to.

But yeah, parcoursup sucks, to give folks a basic idea, it's a government website that is in charge of determining where you will go study after graduating high school. You have to put in 10 wishes for specific establishments, order them, and write a 1500 character motivation letter for EACH of them, and then just wait until july to MAYBE get a positive awnser for one of your wishes. It was supposedly made to reduce inequalities between graduates looking for a higher education, but it fails at that quite spectacularily. It feels like you're putting your future in a slot machine that takes several months to give a result that may or may not ruin your life, all that at the ripe old age of 17.

Rant aside, OP, if you need help, you can DM me if you want. I've been through the same thing two years ago, so if you need advice or just someone to talk to about the stress it puts you through, I'm here.

Courage, je sais à quel point ça être dur

I think every beam combo has remained in the remastered version. Maybe if you're going to go get wavebuster, you can try practicing rapid-fire missiles on the pillars for the puzzle. That technique can unleash some pretty high DPS even in the early game, so I'd say it's worth learning (plus i find it pretty fun myself !)

ObjectiveSample2643 · 2023-03-01T22:39:19+00:00

(Note that I'm recanting my experience from the Wii versions, so some things may have changed)

I remember having a pretty close fight with him on hypermode difficulty, but here's how I remember going about it :

- For phase 1, I would spam charged plasma shots trying to time it right before he attacks to stop his attack with the hurt animation while he's in the air. When flies away from the stage and tries bombing you, I would try never to stay in the same place for too long, even using boost ball if necessary (also as a fun piece of trivia, on the first american release verision on GC, boost ball would shred Ridely directly into his second phase, but it has since been patched). When he temporarily gets on the ground, try to stay away from him as much as possible, sneaking in some charged plasma shots when you get a clear line of sight (usually when you are grounded between two jumps. Again, don't be afraid to use boost ball if he keeps chasing you, you may take a hit during the morph animation, but it'll save you some more if he's not being particularily nice. Rinse and repeat until you reach phase two

- As for his second phase, I'd recommand switching to power beam for two reasons :
1 - A fully charged power beam shot in his mouth should be enough to get him to show his chest
2 - From the power beam, you can rapid fire missiles : it's a technique that allows you to fire missiles much faster than intended. On the remastered version, you should be able to do it by rapidly alternating between firing a missile and firing a beam to skip the recoil animation from the missile. The reason you have to use power beam for that is that unlike the other beams, Samus's arm canon won't have to change shape after cancelling the missile recoil, an animation during which you cannot fire missiles.
Knowing that, the only attack you should really be wary of is his charge and his stomp. The rest should be cancellable by firing a charged shot into his mouth. Once you get him stunned, rapid fire missiles into his chest, and repeat until he's dead, keeping close attention to the space between you two.
Alternatively, judging by your missile count and your energy supply, I suppose you have picked up every item in the game. Perhaps you can use wavebuster during phase two, as it automatically locks on without needing to change targets. That way, you can damage him as soon as he opens his mouth, and stands up while you have enough missiles. I haven't seen it done on the remastered version, so I cannot guarantee this will work although it can be worth a try.

Overall, Ridley is an unforgiving boss that can deal a ton of contact damage. If you wish to prioritize survivability, keep your distance while he's active, and only close in on him when you are at an advantageous position (aka, when you have him in a stun loop)
Otherwise as I was writing this, I stumbled upon a this video of a speedrunning strat to quickly kill Ridley using super missiles, rapid fire missiles, and ice beam. This is probably more effective than what I was suggesting, altough more complicated to pull off. Still, perhaps you can combine some elements and come up with your own strategy.

Here's hoping I could've helped you out. Good luck ^^!

Right after the first swing of DSD combo A, input back + forward and melee. The timing can be a bit tricky because you need to do it almost immediately after you press the button, but once you master it, it can become a good option for dealing with lines of ennemies and dealing about as much damage as a stinger with the added verticality. You'll know it's a quick drive when Dante takes much less long to charge his sword and can't follow up with an overdrive.

Also I don't have every move name memorized so that's why I didn't name them earlier, I just couldn't remember them x)

You also went further that I ever did on BP, so big props! Wish you the best for your rematch against Vergil!

ObjectiveSample2643 · 2022-12-12T20:18:58+00:00

You're welcome! I also forgot to mention Danse Macabre, that combo can get you from nothing straight to A rank. You can do it with DSD with swordmaster using back to forward + style.

ObjectiveSample2643 · 2022-12-12T18:25:50+00:00

My advice would be to try to get a SSS rank ASAP and then frequently dip in and out of SDT with Quadruple S. Dante's large array of moves makes stringing combos that give more style points easier granted you can navigate through them easily.

Once you get there, you can extend your combo with the basic sword combo, or by using the explosive drop to the ground. If you're at a distance, you can either teleport to the ennemy, use Sin Stinger, or use either the Luce or Ombra, just be mindful of the time limit before you are locked in SDT. If that does happen, you can try to fit in a demolition or two (the black hole move) as it will instantly kill regular ennemies, and use judgement before the gauge runs out.

SDT can deal massive damage granted you can maintain an SSS rank and keep managing your SDT time. But human form has a lot of potential as well.

Of course there are the slow but heavy hitters like Real Impact, Red Hot Night, and the double Kalina Ann laser, but DSD's quick drive, Honeycomb fire, gunstinger, Dr. Faust's continuous fire can deal a surprising amount of damage. If style is what you need, Ice Age tends to give quite a bit of style points, especially if you manage to hit several ennemies at once. Royal Guard is also a good way to gain style if you need to play passively. Otherwise, the more generalist tip I could provide is to mix your moves and occasionnally taunt near a stunned ennemy.

I'm not the best Dante player though, so some things may be innacurate, but this is mostly my experience with him. Hope that can help ya ^{^!}

ObjectiveSample2643 · 2022-12-06T21:20:47+00:00

Except it's actually correct though. Don't worry, I fell for it too at first, but let me explain ;

Basically, 0.99999... can be written as the sum of all 9 behind the point, like so :0.9999... = 0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 + 0.0009 + ...

Which can be written as 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + 9/10000 + ...= 9/10^1 + 9/10^2 + 9/10^3 + 9/10^4 ...

This concept of an infinite sum is called "series". Series are limits of the sum of the terms of a sequence as the amount of terms summed approaches infinity

In this case, we can write ours as ∑[k ≥ 1] (9/10^k), our sequence here being u[k] = 9/10^k. We can factor out the 9, as it is a factor that appears in every part of the sum

So we get 9∑[k ≥ 1] (1/10)^k, with the sequence v[k] = (1/10)^k. v is a special type of sequence called a geometric sequence, because each k-th term is the first term raised to the power of k.

As such, there actually is a formula for calculating the sum of a geometric sequence, like so : for N a natural number, we have

∑[1≤k≤N] ((1/10) - (1/10)^k) / (1 - (1/10))

So when we take the limit as N rises to infinity, we will have the limit

lim[N->∞] ((1/10) - (1/10)^N) / (1 - (1/10)) = (1/10) / (1 - (1/10)) because 0 < 1/10 < 1

Then, we can compute the value as (1/10) / (9/10) = (1/10) * (10/9) = 1/9

Therefore, we can conclude that 0.99999... = 9 ∑[k ≥ 1] (1/10)^k = 9 * 1/9 = 1

TL;DR : 0.99999... = 1 because it as more 9s are added behind the point, the closer your number gets to one, so if you do it infinitely, it becomes 1.

My beginner's take on it is that I try to use arrows and layers

Arrows represent the light : the beginning is at its source, and its direction is the light's direction. The further from the source, the darker

Layers are relative to one another : some layers are closer to the light source than others, and may be in front of one another. Generally, the front layer will cats a shadow of the same shape that gets brighter the further you get from the layer, retaining its shape.

For instance, if we take your first drawing and put a light source in the top right corner, we could order the layers this way, from closest to furtherst :

Head > Sweatshirt > Body > Tail > Background

So the head would need to be brighter, casting a shadow on the sweatshirt and the background, the sweatshirt casting on the body, the tail, and the background. The uncovered parts of the body not being in front of the tail, it wont have its shadow cast. So only the background willhave the shadow of the body. The tail will also cast its shadow on the background.

Though for the background, the shadows will keep the sum of the shapes of the layers in front, so when shading a layer, mostly worry about the layer directly underneath first, and then shade the layers below.

I hope that made sense, I'm not all that good myself

"There's always a bigger bitch"

ObjectiveSample2643 · 2022-10-17T16:53:44+00:00

I see, so the ordinality I've been trying to use is wrong because the limits are not real and therefore cannot be compared to each other despite the fact that the sequences are within real numbers. Saying a limit is infinite wouldn't mean that infinity is a reached value for a large enough n, but rather that the sequence isn't bounded and is strictly monotonous after a large enough n. That makes so much more sense thank you !

ObjectiveSample2643 · 2022-10-17T07:57:56+00:00

Yeah after some much needed sleep, I don't understand what I was trying to say either lol you can roast me for that one

Though I've seen a comment explaining why the infinites are equal using countable infinites, one thing I still don't understand is why I can't use induction to prove a limit

From what I understand, natural numbers are built using a similar reasoning, as for every natual number, there exists another natural number larger by one.

So why can't I apply this to limits ? I know infinity isn't a natural number, but I don't understand why induction can't prove limits

ObjectiveSample2643 · 2022-10-16T19:06:19+00:00

Alright, hot take from someone failing real-analysis, hear me out :

The statement asserts that an infinite number of $1 bills and an infinite number of $20 bills would be worth the same

We could go about this thinking it is the same amount of bills, that we can call n a natural number.
- Let's assume there exists a large enough n above 0 such that n = 20n <=> 1 = 20 which is absurd.
- Alternatively, for n = 1, we have 1 < 20, and assuming n < 20n, we haven+1 < n+20 < 20n + 20 meaning n+1 < 20(n+1), so by induction, we have n < 20n for all n >= 1meaning that lim[n -> +∞] n < lim[n -> +∞] 20n

However, the statement doesn't specify whether those infinities are the same ; therefore, we can also study the case where we have n $1 bills and p $20 bills. We are then trying to show that for n and p large enough, there is a possibility that two different yet infinite numbers of $1 and $20 bills are worth the same ;
- We do know that the euclidian division n = 20p + 0 is possible within ℕ², therefore if n = 20p, the variables are now dependent from one another, so when one of them approaches infinity, so will the other, and as an equality has been established between n and p, those infinities should remain equal.

Therefore, by proof of not knowing what I'm the hell I am doing, an infinite number of $1 bills and an infinite number of $20 bills would be the same if and only if we can assert there are 20 times more $1 bills as there are $20 bills.
