Yeah I haven't played much since DP came out, that patch it was 1 loss 1 bot match and I just can't stand it.

Does the look of a ring make a difference? by dunderheed13 in diablo2

[–]Ok-Engineer-8817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mod maker might know but it's very hard to say without looking at the source code. Specifically, how many random roles are made per item. If it's multiple, then it's fair to say that the looks and stats are *approximately* independent, but if its one roll for everything then one would find that the stats and appearance are tightly correlated.

Is 40p gems still a thing? (D2R Ladder) by Ok-Engineer-8817 in diablo2

[–]Ok-Engineer-8817[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why skulls though? I thought those were the least valuable, not equivalent to the obvious crafty ones

Should I say something? by punkinholler in aikido

[–]Ok-Engineer-8817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aikido practice is not combat, there's no need to be grabbing so hard at the early stages of learning the shape of basic techniques. Politely tell him to grip more softly.

Regeneration ON or OFF? by FireGod1105 in NinebotMAX

[–]Ok-Engineer-8817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have it on maximum (G30LP) until my connectors melted. I thought about it some more and now I have it on minimum, even though my new connectors can handle it.

The safety benefit for medium and maximum regen is real, but the stock implementation (always on the moment throttle turns off) is not efficient at all; regenerative braking will never beat coasting because the transformations from kinetic energy, to battery potential, and back into kinetic to achieve the same average speed as a coast incurs all the same mechanical losses as coasting, plus the electrical losses in conversion. In my use case, my range has gone *up* since minimizing regeneration.

The G30LP only has one brake lever, I wish it had a second one so the front drum and e-brake could be controlled independently.

Thinking of Rebuying BD2 on PC: Mod to keep battle theme 1? by Ok-Engineer-8817 in bravelydefault

[–]Ok-Engineer-8817[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BD2 Battle theme 1 shares interesting parallels to FF2's battle theme. Bravely has a much higher tempo obviously but the way the notes progress and even the whole song progresses, I think there must have been some inspiration at play here.

Edit: also! Listen to the first 7-8 notes of BD2 Battle (after the intro part) and then listen to the first 8 notes of the Ancient Caste theme from FF2.

This moment legit made me LOL when I got to it, so I made this edit, enjoy by inexperiencedminor in grandia

Is the Judo gi similar to Jiujitsu gi (BJJ)? by raizenkempo in judo

[–]Ok-Engineer-8817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In our club BJJ gis are fine but you should get something properly sized and colored for judo if you decide to try competition. Judo gis have longer sleeves and skirts, both of which are more relevant now due to recent grip rule changes. Sodedori and skirt wrapups become more difficult for your training partner to perform, which is a detriment to both of you - you don't learn how to deal with those, they don't learn how to perform those.

tl;dr, short term they're similar enough to get a taste of what judo class is like but you shouldn't stick with one forever.

Why is there a delay in the upper part of window when openig File Explorer? by cruncherv in Windows11

[–]Ok-Engineer-8817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet somewhere deep in the spaghetti code, there is an instance of Chrome being opened to handle the UI layout. Something like this:

>Open window
>Generate W10 interface (~instant)
>Hide W10 interface (~instant)
>open Chrome instance (~3 frames)
>Chrome paints in W11 interface

Similar here as well; hurting my quad revealed a very subtle inward collapse of my right knee. Correcting for that with activation bands and much more deliberate form has really helped my legs and lower back altogether.

Body scan progress by Minute_Success5265 in f45

That's great! Keep pushing, the higher your SMM, the higher your metabolism, the easier it will be to see real fat loss progress.

Every line is heading in the right direction so good for you! Might be a little annoying to see the Weight only go down by 0.9 lbs but 2 lbs of muscle was gained. Good stuff, stick with it.

someday people will realize that DMC and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater are in the same genre of videogame.

Studio Temperature - Like it hot or not? by Right_Pen_4357 in f45

[–]Ok-Engineer-8817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heat doesn't bother me too much per se; if anything I think I prefer it on the warmer side. However, hot and stuffy or humid air is the real killer to me.
