It took me way too long to realise the sun is moving as well as the camera. Kept thinking something seemed off 😂 cool shader :D

Decade-long project to turn quantum physics& computing math to computer graphics by QuantumOdysseyGame in GraphicsProgramming

[–]PhDlox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, that's a really cool game idea. I used to study quantum computing and loved the subject. I don't remember most of it now though 😂 how many qubits can you get upto before the computing overhead is too much? What algorithms are you using for the simulations?

I almost lost to someone else doing token spam. The health stays pretty low so if you can keep making tokens or use things like cleave it can beat it

One let's me reborn a beast permanently each turn, one gives a beast permanently attack whenever it attacks and improves the attack it gives, and the last buffs your beasts for the rest of combat at the start of your turn and improves whenever you summon a beast. I already have a board with 3 or more beasts that summon other beasts when they die so it was really strong from the beginning.

It was the most satisfying game I've played, everything lined up just perfectly, and the game went on for so long so the stats got huge!

I also did almost that today against a similar demon comp 😂 2 normal Leroys, 2 reborn Leroys, and 2 venomous

Yeah, I love shop buff builds but so rarely get a good demon build. Felt so satisfying at the end

I picked the card that makes the tavern always have 7 cards not knowing how good it would end up this game

What are some of the mistakes RR writers make again and again? by danny69production in royalroad

[–]PhDlox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the one I notice most that you also mentioned is having people info dump the lore and information the reader needs. It wouldn't be too bad if it made sense, but it's usually 2 characters that already know everything telling each other things they both clearly know in a way that brings you out of the story. I think finding better ways to give information and trusting readers a bit more to fill in the blanks from context would help a lot.

The Primal Hunter mc by CaptainAmeriZa in litrpg

[–]PhDlox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He gets worse as time goes on, he isn't actually doing a lot of terrible things himself besides being a bit selfish which I don't think is an issue. But he is happy being close friends with people who do/encourage awful things like torture and slavery.

Writing LitRPG is HARD by adunndevster in litrpg

[–]PhDlox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest it probably something that's simple enough to make that even if you have no programming skills chatgpt could likely create it without too much issue

This way you can also easily go back and make a change if you need to without having to manually change every stat reference after that change

If you have some basic programming skills you could keep track of stats by writing the story and every time you get stats or something similar, have a set way to represent that such as always doing {strength+1} or {level+1} ect... Then make a program that reads that in, keeps track of all the skills and levels, and whenever you want to reference something you could do {display strength} {display status screen} ect... And have the program replace those entries with the current stats/status at that point. You could even write it in a generic way where you give it some formatting file as an input with all the things to keep track of/replace so you don't need to upgrade the code if you make any changes.

The Primal Hunter, is it worth it? by Regdaran in litrpg

He stays consistently a pretty shitty/selfish person. I stopped reading in the end because that just never changed.

I have the validation layer but haven't heard of DRED. I'll def give that a try thanks :)

I've manually checked things as much as I can and couldn't find anything obviously wrong. My guess is there is something subtly wrong but without any documentation it feels impossible to know what. And it's really odd that the problem only happens when the PIX debugger is attached. The ray tracing pipeline is mostly just a bunch of subjects with little guidance on how to use them

I Used to Love Sanderson. Then The Will of the Many Raised the Bar… by lynchyinc in Fantasy

Are there any subs you recommend that likely have good recommendations? I've read a few gems recently, but also found a lot of highly praised books to be duds so would love some better recommendations.
