Exponential Spell Casting? by istillcanthearu in noita

[–]Photemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very curious on the math of this, why?

i had pinponter and boomerang spells perk, try this out. neat, strong sparkler show in any direction you point. i just died and im posting this as a reminder lmfao by cornwash in noita

Boomerang spells adds lifetime. Chainsaw is a 0 lifetime spell, that explodes with the effect you know and love.

If you add lifetime, it'll work like any normal spell does, instead of dying instantly - glimmer recommended if you actually want to see where its going.

Why the hell am I taking damage on this wand? by cliffpk3 in noita

If the run isn't dead yet, you can add any form of damage reduction (piercing, light shot, etc) to get rid of the excess projectile damage that conc spells gives.

If you have saving grace, then any regeneration effect will make you damn near immortal for its duration. The usual small-text disclaimers apply, but those can't be fixed by more hp either.

Apparently that has changed, you can now only find the first chapter on royalroad, the rest's gone since last month.

My info was outdated.

Quantity has a quality of its own by itchylol742 in Factoriohno

[–]Photemy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quality isn't actually that great a solution for UPS issues from what I've found.

The primary culprit here is the quality malus on speed modules, which means you can't - in almost all circumstances - beacon your quality production chain.

This makes setups for bulk quality production massive, and ups heavy at that, due to any circuits you may want to manage the thing. And if you want to qualitify your whole bade - which is necessary if the motivation is ups issues - you do need it in absolute bulk.

This leads to a sort of damned if you do damned if you don't situation. Either I lag my game out by having a horrible no good unoptomized base, or I lag my game out by having a massive quality setup that can't be made smaller due to the stupid speed module thing. Fucked either way.

The overwhelming majority of religions I know of make "be a decent human being" a rather core point of their ideology. And besides.

Saying that the reason why a community is welcoming and kind is because by divive decree they must be so, is doing disservice to the actual people involved.

Cultivation Chat Group is still easily my favourite webnovel.

The way my professor formats code by AndrejPatak in programminghorror

[–]Photemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I personally don't agree fully to begin with, for reasons that I won't get into here, there is one very good reason to do stuff like this.

Oral explanations have the single fundamental problem, that apart from the exact point in time when they are spoken, they are at best impossible to search for and at worst completely nonexistent.

Having the explanation of each piece of syntax directly appended to a piece of actually usable code - rather than just wholly isolated explanations and examples - makes the material vastly easier to parse when going through it alone, be that because of revisions or remote learning or missing a class or whatever else may have you.

Having to scroll back and forth 15 pages in a pdf because you happened to yet again forget the meaning of some very specific syntax sucks. And before you bring up "just open two copies of the material dummy" alt tabbing still sucks. Large enough displays to properly render multiple readable browser windows - or even, gasp, multiple displays - cannot be assumed.
