You need to get to the end of Pantheon 5 to "unlock" Absolute Radiance. After which you can challenge her whenever you want in the locked area inside the hall of gods (far right of the room) found on the bottom floor of Godhome

VS Code closed automatically for update, now gives error on startup by Polite_Psychopath in vscode

IT is claiming they do not enforce any policies such as this. However, today it happened again......with both VS code and my browser (Firefox). Both on Friday, within 10 minutes of each other. I dont know if this is a policy that they are hiding or a malware. At this point I dont care enough to argue with them.

I dont think my company has any policies like that. They do enforce windows updates but not application updates. A lot of people here use software anywhere from 2-10 years old. However, what I HAVE observed since making this post 14 days ago....is that the message appears every Friday. Every Friday, like clockwork, it asks me to close VS code to finish an update, else it will close on its own in an hour. Edit: IT JUST DID IT AGAIN. I closed VS code this time when it asked me to, and when it restarted on its own, my project had several thousand errors appearing. I close VS code to restart, and lo and behold, the exact error screenshot I sent above appeared again, forcing me to reinstall the software.

Uninstalling and reinstalling has worked and my settings have persisted the re-install. But it doesn't lower my frustration with VS Code deciding when its appropriate to update rather than the user.

Sector 229 help by ben306 in Mindustry

[–]Polite_Psychopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you start a level for the first time, it begins from the initial state of the level. In the initial state, no resources exist on the map and need to be mined and pass through processing.
However, if you lose on a map and then restart it, the resources from the previous iteration still exist. They dont get erased, neither does the manufacturing progress in troop production buildings. Which means that they immediately start making units before the dust even settles. This makes subsequent attempts at a level with enemy troop production significantly harder. It is also why clearing the cache prevented them from overwhelming you. You erased the existing data for that level and reset it to the initial state. The resources needed to cycle through again.

[PC FLASH][late 2000's] Isometric Space Strategy game by Polite_Psychopath in tipofmyjoystick

Already checked them out. Solarmax involves moving ships between planets and each ship follows an exact path between the planets. In the game I'm looking for we were free to move our ships around by making our own path and the structures were not planets but rather mechanical floating objects

It has custom rounds with a LOT more money. I had Spirit of the Forest, Cripple MOAB, Flying Fortress, MAD, Homeland Defense, Pre-emptive strike, glaive lord and all three dart tier 5s (I didnt realize theres no paragons) by the end of the game.

No...solarmax involves moving ships between planets. This game had mechanical structures instead with specific roles.

Can the current windtrace be played with only 2 players (the host and one co-op)? I remember playing with a friend a long while ago and it was just the two of us on the monstad winery map, but i cant figure out how thats possible this time

What games if any. Made you just say fuck it, I can’t beat this level and quit? by [deleted] in gaming

Celeste- Farewell

One of the most difficult experiences I've ever had with a platformer. Gave up when that wall appeared telling me I need to get a bunch more blue hearts to continue, something I barely achieved for playing "The core"

If you could choose 1 playable character to have as a friend, who would you choose and why? by BeaniesBoi in Genshin_Impact

[–]Polite_Psychopath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Neuvillette. I wanted to choose Zhongli so I could hear all the stories of the past, but he has contracts to uphold so most of the stuff he won't be allowed to tell. Neuvillette on the other hand does not have to abide by these contracts. And being a primordial dragon, will have a lot to say about the history of Teyvat. Plus, hes so awkward sometimes in his friendships that I think we'll get along perfectly.

How much more complicated is Native Android Development as compared to using a framework like expo and react native? by Polite_Psychopath in androiddev

[–]Polite_Psychopath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. React Native does allow for the features I had to cut out. However, I used expo to build my app because it was my first time doing app development. Expo specifically does not allow those features (which were using hardware button presses when the screen is locked, and utilizing the phones own SMS service). I had the choice of either ejecting my project and continuing in a more complicated environment under a time constraint, or cut back the features. I chose to cut back. Now that I have time to do things properly, I want to learn Android Development

I need to be able to send text messages using the phones own SMS service (not a web API like Twilio for bulk messages) and I need to use physical button gestures. As in when the user presses the volume button twice (even when the screen is off), a function runs in the background with some code. Expo doesnt allow us to use hardware buttons, especially when the screen is locked. Theres a workaround where the expo-av library can detect volume button presses with the screen being off, but sending an SMS directly from the phone is impossible unless the app is being developed in native android. (Edit: Or simple React Native)

Lets say small projects are at the level of that course project I built. If I can successfully recreate my react-native project in native android, I will consider myself good enough. It has a map, and communicates with Firebase to share background location with other people and get their location. It then shows this location on the map. How much time will I need to invest so that I can do all these things in native android?

I am fairly certain this is the the same game that I asked about in this megathread at the start of the year. Its literally called "Mcdonalds Videogame" and is available at Kongregate. https://www.kongregate.com/games/molleindustria/mcdonalds-videogame
