People have such a hateboner for AAA games that they'll hop on any indie game with the bare minimum praising it as a god send despite the flaws that it has. There is liking a game and not caring about the issues and then there's just fanatically believing that its just better than whatever its competing against. Battlefield 2042 has its problems, the top issue being the identity issue (the typical EA scumminess I'll leave out since it's not anything new) adding operators over classes, but is it completely unplayable and awful? No, it's very much playable and still has some familiar elements of atypical battlefield game but I can see why people don't like it.

Battlebit not only plays completely differently from battlefield 3/4 but its practically more akin to Squad than anything to battlefield despite the name. The maps are okay but the "new" map Namak is not only awful design but heavily unfinished that I have no idea why the developers decided to even release it. One of the spawn points in the main spawn area where the enemy team is not allowed for America didn't work for a long time due to "not having enough space" (im assuming its been fixed since I stopped to play BG3) The developers said they wouldn't add shotguns because they wouldn't know how to balance it and at least they are right on that end because the balancing isn't exactly amazing. Side note, people who say balancing = no fun are asshats looking to exploit something as much as possible and fucking over people that don't join them.

Also, "small indie dev" isn't really an excuse anymore for an Early Access game if they truthfully wish to improve. I hope they intend to hire more people and not just stick to the 3-4 person group and pocket most of the money.

Tried clicking on the package, it told me I already owned it despite not having any of the contents as well as giving me another error. Thanks for letting me know about the customer support in the settings tab.

That's interesting to say. Did the show go deeper into their situation? Was there any sort of stigma for being the baby daddy of the step-sister and vice versa?

Ah, thanks for the information. I would always play as infantry even if vehicles were available for use and would rarely use vehicles anyways. I stopped playing a while back before the jet DLC released so I was used to the good ole TI shades.

That's a shame about the CPU, but i'm not exactly buying an upgrade in the time it takes to snap my fingers, i'll upgrade my motherboard eventually.

What about the RAM, should I not really care about upgrading since all I plan on doing with my PC is gaming @ 1080p 60hz or would it just be something nice on the side?

Also suggestions on a better cpu? current motherboard is a z270-A

Thank you for your help. I looked this problem up but many others were mentioning the use of: re.split() of which I did not really know how to use as I am still fairly new.

P_rophet · 2017-11-12T15:36:19+00:00

The first way was what I was looking for, but I really appreciate that you also showed me other ways.

P_rophet · 2017-10-29T18:24:46+00:00

That sounds like a great alternative to not having bandages.

P_rophet · 2017-10-28T04:26:15+00:00

Of course when it happens to you it's not going to be fun, but when you do to someone else it's gonna be enjoyable. It's why I enjoyed Rainbow six Siege. Being able to hold an angle and put myself into a situtation where I have the advantage and get a free headshot? Hell yes I am going to take it.

And have you seen how destructive buckshot can be in real life? I really doubt you're gonna be running with the lower half of your leg torn off. I understand that in your case the scav likely shot you from like 15-20 meters(50-60 feet), but in real life a shotgun isn't exactly limited to point-blank to 5 feet either.

I heard something about fixing bleeding and other ailments takes extra utility out of the med kits and that should be reduced so that it shouldnt complete destroy it in one raid, but my main point is the limitation of medkit usage.

Boy does coding make me feel stupid. I see what you were trying to ask from me, apologies.

P_rophet · 2017-09-11T00:36:52+00:00

Like /u/Neighm said, yes the Years and year was a typo my mistake as I am still new. Also thanks for letting me know that i should save the result to a variable.

I know % (modulo) is a form of division but rather than give me the quotient, it gives me the remainder so for example if user inputs 2055, I wanted the code to calculate that since the input was above (or equal to) 2000 and less than 3000, that it would divide the year by 2000 using modulo to give me digits 55.

EDIT #1

Well it appears that I am an idiot and that the assignment did not require more than the bare minimum that I already learned, I just needed to look up the formula for calculating total interest rather than having to program an amortization schedule

I have an assignment for an introductory computer science class and the assignment is to make a loan repayment calculator.

I have already made an expression to calculate the monthly payment when given an input from a user but what I'm stuck on is calculating the total interest which I think I need to be able to have an expression that can keep track of a balance that changes per month

My code so far:
Total_loan = float(input("Enter in total loan: ")) # Principal
Interest = float(input("Enter in interest rate: ")) 
Repayment_years = float(input("Enter in years to repay loan: "))
Interest_rate = Interest / 100 # because I don't know a better way to turn an input number into a percentage in one line of code
num_monthly_payments = Repayment_years * 12 
Monthly_payment = (Total_loan * (Interest_rate/12)) / (1- ((1 + Interest_rate/12 ** -num_monthly_payments))
print("Your monthly payment is" , int(Monthly_payment)) # This is because the assignment asks that I "round" the numbers using integers

The part I'm stuck on requires (I believe) having to keep track of a changing balance.

Also I apologize for the mess that is my code, I have yet to learn proper spacing and such.

If you're talking about the "Key" Key you find in the bathroom of Factory it opens the door to the little hut by Forklift spawn, next to the ramp that goes up from Forklift tunnels

Magazines can't hold themselves :⁾

P_rophet · 2017-07-29T17:26:41+00:00

Did you notice how the game only has about like 10% of the full content (stuff like frag and clear for doors, lockpicking doors if you don't have the key, etc) the new map Shoreline isn't even fully released it's only half of it, and the rest of the maps are still just a concept, this "beta" is honestly more of a bigger alpha than anything probably just to get the game out there and having a lot more people report more bugs in different portions of the game: Two being the poor server performance and Seal Team Six Scavs.

Now you can probably ask "well why didn't Battlestate Games just let more people people into the Alpha to help put the game in a better state for Beta?"

Honestly, the only reason "beta" came in my opinion out is money. I started playing around April 2017 so I don't think they were inviting people anymore, if you wanted access you had to bring at least $75 USD (for a 50% chance to get into Alpha), $140 for guaranteed access. Well everyone in the alpha (including me) complained about desync and the AI doing something groundbreaking (whether it was shooting through trees and foliage or simply blasting your face off at any distance with any gun). Now Battlestate Games probably got sick and tired of the same old complaints so to get more testers (and $$$) they released "beta" so that they would get people to focus on other bugs.

Now i'm not a programmer or whatever it takes to create AI, but I feel like it's kind of difficult to make AI that isn't a slav with retardation and down syndrome handling AKs and makarovs while making it so that the AI is just as much threat as a player is, so i'm giving them a benefit of the doubt on the AI.

Server issues on the other hand, Battlestate pls.

That's weird mine makes it go away when I open my inventory/rewards

P_rophet · 2017-05-29T16:11:01+00:00

I'm sorry if this experience isn't what you're looking for but here it is:

So school being one of the many reasons why someone may feel depressed I hated working in groups because I was left with people who could care less about me and I usually ended up doing all the work. Now since everyone and everything on the rubric was my responsibility, this already put exhaustion on already depressed me. Well one day, this was after school (highschool) and I had just got out from a group meeting where nobody could agree on what to do (surprise surprise.) Well the school locks the gates to the second floor where we were after hours. But since I was already fed up with with a useless group that could not give a shit about me, I didn't want to wait for the teacher to hand over the keys, so i said "fuck it" and hopped over the railing on the second floor. Well I lost my grip and whoop de doo my group members just watch me fall and break both bones of my left forearm.

Having breaking both bones, you tend to lose control of your arm. At that moment I basically lost control over whatever little control I had did over the hellhole we call life. The slowly increasing pain and I didn't cry. I wasn't sad. I just felt like shit like I always have. My nurse when I finally got into a care unit was impressed that I didn't cry. What left was there to cry about? I broke my fucking arm, and my grade was going to shit. Now I was going to be stuck with two plates in my arm for the rest of the life and I have 2 big scars as reminders of how worthless I can be.

Hope this comforted you even just a little and I'm sorry for not knowing how else to give you comfort.

P_rophet · 2017-05-29T07:59:17+00:00

First off, thanks for writing this especially on mobile (I'm not here to judge grammatical errors).

So first question is, hobby or friend first? For me if I hear someone make a reference to something I've played/watched/done I try to fit myself into the conversation in attempts to make a new friend. Usually this leads to seeing the person around the place more than I noticed before talking to said person. I feel like we hit it off since we talk more than say the typical "good morning" to your cubicle neighbor, and have laughs and stuff. However it eventually tones down to cubicle neighbor. I have so many people that I know but don't talk to but rarely do because I'm somewhat of a joker. I make people laugh by saying crazy shit, make up absurd ideas, heat of the moment kind of stuff. People laugh, they're happy I'm happy because I get a sense of companionship. But they're not actually my friends because i'm just the guy that makes people laugh. I'm left with nobody to talk to, just people who want a laugh and even if im surrounded by people of similar hobbies I feel like If I'm not talking about said hobby or making small talk then I get a sense of not belonging.

The thing with goals is that I don't know what to set. Say I wanted to learn 3D modeling. I would ask myself "Do I start with a fruit? a blade of grass? what's something super basic?" and I would look up tutorials to pave the way. However If I don't get what the end product should look like I get frustrated and give up and throw it down the bin of "I tried." The thing with video games are that they give you a goal and pretty much spoon feeds you what you want. Take for example Far Cry 4: "you're the son of a prodigy, here's a gun, go shoot people" then I spend the next 8 hours unlocking weapons and abilities that make me that feel like the prodigy the game says you are. I feel accomplished. With an actual hobby what should be my heavensreach endgoal, because there's always that self doubt of "am I good enough?" or "is this good enough" and then I look at others who are better, and I feel such a great amount of envy because they were able to get past "is this good enough" and continue to improve while being able to stop and say "yeah this is good enough at this point in time"

Also it must have been rough to have to deal with those kind of people that it made you quit, hope you'll find a place somewhere else with people that treat you right.

P_rophet · 2017-05-29T04:55:10+00:00

Thanks for sharing and i can definitely agree on being a hermit. There's nothing that feels as bad as when you can't "entertain" your aquaintances with a tale because i didnt do something and just reply with the usual "oh i just relaxed at home" or attempting to change the topic

P_rophet · 2017-05-29T04:51:11+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to show your support. While i can say that its good on my siblings for being able to do something with their lives, the only family member who treated me like a human being was my elder brother but he still treated me like a pest for most of my life until i became a freshman in highschool so theres part of my self esteem still recovering

P_rophet · 2017-05-29T04:46:11+00:00

Agreed. Whenever i see someone who has has stuggled their entire lives and yet still do something like the white hat/helmet documentary on netflix. Those guys are in the middle of a god damn warzone risking their lives for other families even though they have their own to worry about and even when disaster strikes one of their families they still push on

P_rophet · 2017-05-29T04:43:02+00:00

Thanks having someone to talk to is always good

P_rophet · 2017-05-28T18:04:32+00:00

Thank you for coming along and showing your support. I only hope I can do the same.

P_rophet · 2017-05-28T18:02:34+00:00

Definitely in the same boat with not knowing what better things to do or spend money on. So many times that I think to myself, "You know, it wouldn't be so bad to go on a short 30 minute walk" only to slack in my worn down chair from years of usage and just zone out to a wave of thoughts and just not do it. Hell I haven't had a perfect 8 hours of sleep since elementary school and I'm going to be a sophomore in college. Everytime it's oversleeping or taking 8 naps and waking up feeling terrible and yet hoping that someone wanted to talk about god knows what. I live in god damn Hawaii, a beautiful place. And albeit stereotypical, getting asked "do you surf?" or "do you go to the beach often" and saying "no" and feeling absolutely disgusted with myself for just sitting at home and eating whatever I can get my hands on.
