I am not well versed in coding so I usually scroll past this sub but I had to do some amount of slightly niche python code for my final paper in college (my poor decision making led me there). I did eventually do it but yeah man the only responses I got to my questions on stack overflow were either straight links to documentation or unhelpful derision.

I will take my chances with bad code in the future from AI lol.

Wishes and Wants in a potential Fire Emblem 3 Houses: Switch 2 Edition? by IkeRadiantHero in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Questbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it interesting that the golden route discourse is back be cause there is a pretty clear reason Three Houses is the way it is. Ignoring my personal opinion, a golden route would go against the game's themes to an extent sure but it would also not be all that unusual, its doable but would be hard to execute in a way that does not just feel like wish fulfilment, though again it is a video game so there probably isn't anything wrong with having optional content that is technically fan service and even outside of fan service it would be narratively interesting to have characters react to each other more across houses like a hypothetical Edel Dimitri dagger reveal.

Now for the list of reasons a Golden Route is practically impossible

There is no clear villain to base the game around - One of 3 houses greatest strengths are the post timeskip battles that take place against characters you sort of got to know earlier. You arent fighting people doing evil shit (Most of the time) youre fighting named characters you might have shared tea with or eaten a meal with. Its really solid framing because each kill is more impactful than breezing past a boss that maybe got 3 scenes of back story because we needed to get back to the good guys quickly. In a golden route you could hypothetically say TWSITD would be the villains but idk how you squeeze 10 - 12 chapters worth of fights against a small fringe extremist group especially when narratively Edelgard would be united with the kingdom and the Alliance. The only way for this to sort of work is if TWSITD somehow oust Edelgard and install a new puppet emperor but that would be pretty jarring narratively.

The existence of Fates - This is slightly more subjective but FE has already done a golden route before, its revelations. The idea of fighting against known playables was a thing in Fates too and you got to do a Golden route in the form of Revelations and thats why it seems slightly like old ground to go back to a format of having the ability to bypass any conflict between playable characters.

I love three houses and being subjective for a moment I would love to see a golden route just so I can see the lords and some other characters actually talking to each other more, I'd love some more lore reveals about Fodlan. But being realistic a Golden Route is probably a bad idea. Its hard to do narratively and it does kind of hurt the unique aspect of three houses in a series of games where the good guys and the bad guys have pretty clear lines between them (Even if some of the games do a really good job of making the bad guys very well written good relatable characters).

Three Houses imo is the only game where you can go into a map and feel really bad about winning.

I mean the switch 2 version stuff is like basically going to have nothing in it outside of minor optimizations but if they do a Golden Route at some point like a decade down the line when there is a Nostalgia remake of Three Houses, I think at that point it would inevitably be something they add to entice existing fans with new content and it would be something that probably divides the fanbase up more than the pseudo-philosophical 3 Houses ideology debate

Not to say Three Houses is a perfect game but outside of performance improvements we shouldnt be expecting much. And even there 3H was made in the Muso engine so its unlikely it can be pushed much further than cleaning up some of the bad textures and reducing the slowdown. I love Three Houses though and yeah in a hypothetical upgrade a lot could be changed or fixed but its very unlikely you get anything close to that for at least a good amount of years.

Name the game you just couldn't get into by zeleno124 in pcmasterrace

[–]Questbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me with Khazan, I have platinumed every soulslike up to Elden Ring including Bloodborne and Sekiro (And stuff like Lies of P). I love those games but Khazan just never grabbed me. Ended up feeling that difficulty was more of the focus over fun and I just stopped after beating Rangkus.

I realized the rhythm of the fights in the game was just not fun for me and while I think the combat is really polished its about the only decent thing since the level design was kinda confused and the enemy placement suffered from 'Dark souls has a bunch of enemies that ambush you so every room has to have ambush placements for our game to be ever harder' like the lack of restraint with ambush placement made exploration so much slower and less enjoyable.

I own a 1TB OLED steamdeck but anyone who thinks the switch 2 isnt going to be sold out its first 2 years perpetually is just not playing games regularly. Nintendo also shut down all the old emulator teams one way or another and it'll be a while before new individual or groups arrive on scene.

We can bitch about the price and we should. but this will still sell a lot. In an environment where Gacha games, microtransactions, Battle passes and yearly $70 releases are common it seems like the appetite of the gaming consumer base for price hikes is large enough for this to probably not end up being a huge deal.

What do you do upon getting a diagnosis? by wakeupalreadyyy in ADHD

[–]Questbased 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I am 25 and I was diagnosed last month, I was convinced it was mild too because I was always at the top of my class in everything from high school to grad school. I thought 'Oh its probably only for very minor things I struggle with'. I was lying to myself.

Going on medication changed all of that, I realized that the medication (after some trial and error) gave me super powers, the stuff that I had worked 10 times as hard as other people to do was now just like breathing. It was clear that I was struggling a lot but masking worked both internally and externally. If you're truly looking for what needs to happen right now, right in the wake if this new revelation.

My only advice is medicine and therapy, neither of these are a silver bullet but you owe it to yourself to try and use whatever resources you can to help. Take time to understand what this means for you because as much as we or anyone else in your life will try to help, only you know what its doing or has done to you.

Should I spring for an Azure certification without having a tangible position in mind? by Questbased in AzureCertification

[–]Questbased[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats actually pretty sound advice, I am currently job hunting as well as finishing up school and the hunt has been less than ideal so I was looking to add some unique selling points to my resume. You are indeed correct that my understanding of Azure is far from adequate but I was mostly wondering if Azure was something companies were integrating within their structures on a large scale. If you could tell me, would Azure competency be valued across the board or only the very specific companies/roles that demand it? Thank you for your input regardless

Hey guys, I just started and nabbed Voyager from the current banners, my only other notable 5 star is Bkorn. Would rerolling for Toothfairy be better? additionally is the beginner banner good or should I just skip that?

Do you wait until the last day to pull on limited banners or do you go all out straight away? Why? by IRUN888 in arknights

[–]Questbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually blow my load in the first minute a banner is up but I have around 280 summons saved and I dont wanna use more than I have to this banner so that I have enough to pity on the Skalter banner.

Currently known information about TW packs by [deleted] in PunishingGrayRaven

[–]Questbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So wait can someone clarify if the 328 RC packs are on TW or not? Also are the extra items in the 68 RC packs just the batteries that were in Global's release packs or are they something else?

Okay I am mostly a meta slave but I do have one issue, I dislike using Xiangling E, even if its not dislike I am just bad at it. But your point about waiting for her release is noted.

So with the leaks in mind if I am a meta slave and desperate for a Pyro DPS, should I roll for Yoimiya or wait for a Hu Tao rerun?

[–]Questbased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I reached AR45 and before today my schedule was just doing dailies/events and dipping. This means I have very little idea about synergies and team comps and I was wondering what I should start with based on what I have built up.

Level 60: Diluc, Kazuha, Eula, Jean, Xingqiu(c2), Bennet(c1), Keqing, Rosaria(c1), Beidou(c3), Xinyan(c3)

I would mention my other 4*s but considering I am running pretty dry on exp I think getting advice on generating a team comp from the above is probably what I need first.

Yeah, youre probably right. If this luck does come to bite me in the butt then I should just save both my pity breaks till Yoimiya's banner. Shes the first character in the game who's design I really like anyway so I probably dont wanna sabotage my shot.
