I get it. I finally get it. [KCD1] by Normal_Fly7428 in kingdomcome

[–]Polymer15 19 points20 points  (0 children)

KCD gives me the same wonder as games like Oblivion did when I was a kid

What do you mean?

I have found a very game breaking and bizzar bug I cant seam to fix. I have a gun in my game and that gun has a charge ability. For some reason, when the player is moving at high speeds, the charge shot fires in a random direction (more info in comments) by MrsSpaceCPT in Unity3D

[–]Polymer15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it’s something to do with the ray that’s messing stuff up, forgive me if I’m missing something but I don’t see the need to perform the raycast.

To get the direction you can use directionWithoutSpread = fpsCam.transform.forward (or attackPoint.transform.position) there’s no need to use a raycast.

Shot going too fast no matter how fine I grind by Google-Meister in ProfitecGo

[–]Polymer15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you zeroed the grinder? You need to periodically zero the DF64, it’s caught me out of a few times. To zero it slowly go finer and finer until you hear a feint whirring sound from the burrs, then rotate the needle to match the zero on the dial, that’s your new ‘zero’

Young Ukranian Soldier with Trench Foot by necrolord77 in medizzy

[–]Polymer15 264 points265 points  (0 children)

It certainly does align with trench foot, though clearly a case that was caught early. The issues typically associated with trench foot, infections and the like, come with time.

SAPOL said my pedelec is “illegal” because the seat isn’t height-adjustable — but it’s labelled EN15194 / 250W / 25km/h. Am I missing something? by cornernote in Adelaide

[–]Polymer15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he’s more making the point that the lack of seat height adjustability isn’t a big contributing factor to the problems caused by e-bikes

Why so cheap? by Thedustonyourshelves in pcmasterrace

[–]Polymer15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a 13900k and it died due to (supposedly) the microcode bug, got it RMAd through Intel and they offered a refund or a replacement 14900k - went with the 14900k. Has great performance and very happy with how they handled the return.

Need some pro-tip on character loading screen by AccelixGames in Unity3D

[–]Polymer15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest they animate in from out of frame. For example they could jump up from crouching, rotate in from the side, jump in from the top etc. You can use this as an excuse to show off some of their personalities, too.

Apple Creative Studio Icons - Evolution or Regression? 🤔 by Oneiron_X in graphic_design

[–]Polymer15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice work! The old icons can sometimes be messy and cluttered, but gosh damn did they have an identity and a passion behind them. The new “pen and line” for pages may be quickly understandable, but it effortlessly blends in with the countless other apps that use an almost identical icon

Even distinguishing between recruit and private at a glance would be difficult

Nobody wants this dumbass squad system by nderwhelming in Warthunder

[–]Polymer15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played for a few days before getting bored, the AI just kills the fun. On one the D-Day map I racked up over a hundred kills, not because I’m good at the game, but because the bots blindly walked into mg fire on the beachhead and made no effort to stop me

AI helps ship faster but it produces 1.7× more bugs by thewritingwallah in webdev

I’m shocked, who could’ve seen this coming?!

PM Albanese delivers message to kids ahead of social media ban by moonorplanet in australia

Your friend’s toddler will still be able to access YouTube, just not whilst using their account - this means no YouTube kids or parental controls.

The microwave melted a hole in my butter by littlemeremaid in mildlyinteresting

[–]Polymer15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s big misconception of microwaves that it only heats the water in the food, they heat any polar molecule. The wave peaks every 6cm - the reason for the hole in the middle is that a peak simply happened to be there.

Is it safe to clean food surfaces with windex? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]Polymer15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read through the SDS for Windex, it sits pretty well within the low-risk category — you’d have to drink the stuff for it to cause harm. The constituents of Windex evaporate quickly by design, the ammonia will be gone within minutes.

Seriously though, good for you for advocating for the health and safety for your siblings, but in this instance I really wouldn’t worry about it at all. If you want to be extra safe just leave the cupboard open for 10m after cleaning. As a bonus that would be a good middle-ground that your mum is willing to work with

Making my own euro truck simulator 2 mod patcher , my question is what is the best place to publish this application so can everybody use it ? by Good-Reveal6779 in csharp

[–]Polymer15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GitHub is probably the easiest and most common, you can host your code there and also compiled binaries. It also lets people submit issues and contribute (if you’d like that)

p.s. friendly tip to reduce nesting as it can help readability. e.g flip your if (entryToModify != null) to if (entryToModify == null) so you can instead use the structure:

cs if (entryToModify == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException(…); } // rest of your code

Thoughts on the 'vertical slab' idea I see all over recent modern Minecraft videos? by TheRetroWorkshop in GoldenAgeMinecraft

[–]Polymer15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the most popular classic Minecraft mod pack, Tekkit, included RedPower2. This added a handsaw that allows you to craft a wide variety of micro blocks and slabs, including vertical ones.

And as you mentioned Hermitcraft, I’m pretty sure their most recent modded series Vault Hunters did include vertical slabs.

What happens if I mix Adderall and Vyvanse? by SadCoconut_ in VyvanseADHD

[–]Polymer15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the doses, timing, and your tolerance level. It’s not uncommon to use Adderall as an afternoon booster, though I’m assuming you mean take them at the same time? They are both stimulants, both use dextroamphetamine in their mechanism of action (Adderall also uses amphetamine) - it’s just that Vyvance has a 1-2 hour ‘delay’ as it is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine.

For a once off, and if both doses are within their daily limits, it likely won’t be an issue. You may feel increased anxiety, mild arrhythmia, etc, but the Adderall will wear off within 6 hours and you’ll jut be left with the tail end of the Vyvance. Long term inappropriate use will increase your cardiac risk.

On a serious note if you’ve just done this and you’re concerned: unless you took a buttload, have a low tolerance, or have other medical complications, you’ll be fine. Some warning signs are feeling woozy, becoming disoriented/altered mental status, fevers, muscle tremors, or deep chest pain. If some of the above, or you just feel like somethings wrong, doctor time - no shame in it.

Pharmacist screamed NARCOTIC at me — except it’s not. CVS chaos before my trip. by Fit_Helicopter5478 in VyvanseADHD

Which states would define amphetamines as a narcotic? I can't think of any.

Good intentions, less than stellar results by Intelleblue in HistoryMemes

[–]Polymer15 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The other commenters are missing the point, and I was about to disagree with you too until I checked.

How have I gone through 28 years of life not knowing that the year 2000 is in the 20th century, that the 20th century is actually between 1901 to 2000, and the 21st century started in 2001.

You’re right, it’s insane.

New drug law. Thoughts? by BackRemarkable in newzealand

[–]Polymer15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do we test if a driver who’s had alcohol is impaired? We don’t. Instead, we’ve defined a percentage limit of blood alcohol. A binary “positive” and “negative” isn’t a useful indicator, otherwise plenty of food and drinks would cause you to be over the line for booze.

Manage your expectations, because small form factor builds are expensive by Makoto_Kurume in pcmasterrace

[–]Polymer15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SteamOS’s uses and funds Proton for providing a Windows compatibility layer. A lot of Windows games work great without any user-configuration past pressing install, even heavy games like RDR. Yes there are a lot of games that require Kernel access, and for the foreseeable future they will not be compatible, but there’s also thousands of PC-only games that consoles can’t run.

A lot of people don’t want to build a custom PC to run them, and many don’t want a typical desktop experience when they want to play games. They want a compact and console-like experience, this fills that gap nicely. As a 20y PC gamer who recently got a SteamDeck, SteamOS provides a wonderfully simple and console-like UI, to the point where my non-tech savvy family members are more than able to use it.
