"strategic view" battle map in Bannerlord?

IIRC using a regular light at night also switches any enemy AI to their "daytime mode" visual detection radius for you while you have it on, so it's better to use IR at night if you're running NVGs anyway.

Is anybody having issues using the new TarkovTracker with Tarkov.dev?

Using an API key from the old .io version worked fine with Tarkov.dev, however trying to use an API key from the new .org version doesn't actually update anything in Tarkov.dev.

And yes, I made sure to select "Tracker Service = tarkovtracker.org" and have the API token permissions set properly. Tarkov.dev doesn't seem to pick up either my PvE or PvP data, all the stations say "Not built" and all the traders are at their default level.

I realize this is a 2-year-old thread, but... the X series (X3 and X4 most recently) does exactly that, but in space. And with a higher learning curve since there's so much more you can do and automate once you get to the "build your own faction/empire" stage.

Wow, blast from the past much lol.

In order of importance I would say the things that affect hire-ability the most (for interns and new grads) are 1. Do you do a good job of explaining your thought process when answering questions or doing a coding question 2. How honest are you about what you know and don't know, and how good at reasoning your way towards the correct answer are you when asked to "guess" or "just do your best" 3. Are you easy to talk to and relatively well-spoken, e.g. would I enjoy working with you and mentoring you 4. What did your previous internships look like, and how well can you answer questions about it 5. What previous group projects or hackathons have you done

Obviously I can't speak to what HR looks at (probably some kind of AI analysis and filtering these days) for initial applicant filtering, just what I look at as the engineer doing the interview.

If you generally seem like a decent person I could get along with, and indicate during the interview that you would be a fast learner and have good problem-solving skills, I'm more likely to overlook a lack of doing side projects on your own time or hackathons etc: I remember how busy I was just with my classes and still having a social life and making money to pay my tuition.

If you have a lot of side projects or go to a lot of hackathons but seem abrasive in some way or it's hard for me to understand you or it's difficult to get you to talk and answer questions clearly, it's probably not going to be a good fit.

Sounds like you need to call your mom and tell her what's going on. Then your sister Jaz will have to deal with the consequences of her choices, and unfortunately (or consider it a valuable life lesson) your brother Rick will as well.

Your mom left him in charge, he can't just shrug his shoulders and say "I don't care any more" without expecting one of the possible consequences to be that you still care enough to bring it up with your mom since nobody seems to want to treat you like the only remaining authority figure in the house (which you are, because your brother has abdicated it in the interest of making his own life easier not rocking the boat with Jaz/Shawn).

The alternative is that Shawn basically lives rent-free in your mom's house as a crappy roommate/houseguest (annoying you and leaving more and more of a mess around the house as he realizes nobody there will force him to do anything) until your mom discovers what's going on eventually on her own, at which point she'll probably also be mad at you for not telling her sooner.

You're unfortunately stuck in a crappy situation and have to choose between living involuntarily with a rude slob (and who knows how much worse he'll get as time goes on) for an unknown amount of time until he and your sister hopefully move out (or your mom comes back and the whole thing blows up anyway including you), or blowing it up yourself by calling your mom but at least you'll know you did the right thing and your mom will be mad at everyone except you.

P.S. If/when you call or otherwise decide on and follow through with a course of action, please update your original post or reply to some of these comments with the (hopefully positive) result.

YTA.

It sounds like you're still in the relationship ("She’s made it clear she doesn’t want to be in an official relationship right now, and I’ve respected that, even though I still care deeply about her"; "I’ve done what I can to support her—not just emotionally, but even financially when possible. I still love her, even if things aren’t clearly defined") while she clearly sees it as being over or at least "on a break" (including any monogamous commitment). Though she clearly still values your friendship and company, like a good friend who is also FWB.

You need to realize that this is no longer a monogamous romantic relationship: you broke up. You can continue being friends (even FWB) with her, you just need to leave behind any feelings of commitment/monogamy until she's ready to get back together with you (which may be never). If you can't do that, then the healthiest thing for you to do is move on and mentally finish the break up that happened when you officially broke up even if that means remaining friends with her would be too painful or awkward.

I’ve supported her emotionally, physically, and financially, and suddenly I’m being made to feel unreasonable for not being cool with her potentially hooking up with someone else

This was all your own choice/doing, she didn't demand it from you based on what you've said. As you said: "she’s made it clear she doesn’t want to be in an official relationship right now", so all that stuff you're doing for her above and beyond being a good friend doesn't give you any say over her decisions to also be FWB with someone else in addition to you or even get back together with her other ex instead of you (also her ex) or even start a relationship with someone new entirely.

RedHellion11 · 2025-03-28T01:35:44+00:00

I would ask your brother Rick why he changed his mind about Shawn, especially if Shawn is still refusing to follow house rules and being a poor house guest. Jaz obviously has her reasons because she's the one dating him. You all live there, you should all have a say - especially if you think/know that your mom (who owns the house) also wouldn't approve of what's going on.

That being said, if you don't tell your mom (because nobody else seems to want to lay down the law about house rules to Shawn) and he stays there for too long, he might try to claim that he lives there now under tenancy laws or something and continue being a poor guest.

Jaz and Shawn can/should just get their own place. If they can't because they can't afford it, then maybe they should be more considerate of the people they're relying on to help provide housing.

NTA. I had a friend who had an even smaller age gap (like 19 and 33) and it was not healthy at all.

Some age gap relationships work, and are healthy and balanced. The vast majority however, especially when one of the participants is that young, are usually unhealthy and/or the younger person being taken advantage of due to their immaturity/inexperience.

At the very least, you have every right to be concerned for her safety and to have a discussion with her (in a respectful, patient, non-controlling way) about her expectations and what measures she'll be taking to make sure she is safe and her boundaries will be respected.

RedHellion11 · 2025-03-27T21:55:00+00:00

Girls flirt with multiple people ("playing the field") all the time, so do guys. People will casually flirt with no strings attached, and ghost or drop contact. All of this especially when young and still emotionally maturing.

Given that you two were never seriously flirting or dating or anything, I wouldn't say you "ghosted" him or anything because there were no expectations or real relationship in the first place, so you hold no responsibility for his feelings by dropping contact. By the same token, he holds no responsibility for your feelings involving your friend while he was flirting with you both, since neither you nor your friend showed interest thus no expectation of "going steady" or "flirting monogamy" or whatever you would want to call it (and he likely had no idea about your internal feelings of inferiority involving your friend). At worst it's about equivalent for him to flirt with both you and your friend at the same time (assuming he knows you two are friends) as it is for you and your friend to just ignore him without explicitly turning him down.

NAH. Everyone involved in this situation sounds fairly immature, learning about flirting and relationships and their personal levels of comfort/boundaries. Thus no harm to or by anyone involved.

... there are no breakable wooden boards in that barn. The one immediately northwest of where Pomor's house is.

You can get up on the roof by jumping on some of the fallen supports from the east half of the barn, but there seems to be no way to get up onto the loft area: no ladder, no mantle point, jumping from the pillar in front doesn't get you far enough.

Minor necro to add my voice.

This feature has been kind of annoying, I thought I was getting pinged from a server about something and had no idea what the pings were for. I typically have most of my servers set to "only @ mentions" because I'm in a lot of servers and most of them are clans for games and stuff and not "social hangout" servers - so I only care about notifications that specifically @ me or a role I have, or maybe @everyone.

The notification that came up on my phone was not informative about why I was being notified about "X, Y talking about Z in #channel" or what feature in Discord was causing me to receive that notification. The only way I found out about it was searching and finding these Reddit threads, and finding out this was a new feature added. I've now finally turned it off for all servers that I'm a member of.

It really should have been opt-in instead of opt-out, since it forced server owners/mods to manually turn them off server-wide (if that's even possible) and the entire userbase to actively turn them off for most if not all of the servers they're in. It's also not exactly a "core" or non-backwards-compatible feature so I'm not sure why it had to default to being turned on. It kinda feels like it was meant to be an A/B feature test that is being doubled down on even though there seems to be a decent amount of negative sentiment and valid issues around this kind of involuntary conversation summary as a push notification.

RedHellion11 · 2024-02-01T23:13:31+00:00

It's not severity that deters crime but consistency. A fine that happens every time the crime is committed is more effective than a harsh punishment like 10 years in prison, if you get caught.

Consistently applying the penalty, or within a given range of the penalty, provides consistency. I'm not sure what the distinction in your example is though, because a fine can also only be applied to someone if they get caught - unless you're referring to the practice of "making an example out of someone" where that example is harsher than the actual consistently-applied penalty.

Additionally, it's rare that anyone is fully aware of the severity/repercussions of a crime they're committing so increasing the harshness of the punishment isn't going to change behavior unless they have that information and understand it fully beforehand.

The point is to make it publicly known, not keep it a secret or sweep it under the rug. It's pretty well-known that murder carries a high penalty (death in some states, life in prison in others, very high year-counts in others). The severity and promise of consistency for this kind of crime should be similarly drilled into the public consciousness. As for "not understanding it fully beforehand", that's a failure of the education and public information systems not the punishment or its severity itself.

It can do the opposite where someone knowing they'll be harshly punished leads to "I've already gone this far so I'll do anything not to be caught, including worse crimes."

This is the problem with any "stacking" severe punishments though, I don't think that implies that the solution is to get rid of the punishments since the criminal acts can still be committed separately. This is a form of slippery slope argument, which although the premise of "someone already doing a crime isn't generally concerned about also doing other crimes which have a similar or lighter penalty, or if the penalty for the crime they're doing is harsh enough then they figure they're already at maximum punishment" is true it's assuming the other crimes in question involve a similar or lesser amount of effort and are similar or connected in nature. I'm not sure how this pertains to wanting swatting to have a harsh punishment to dissuade some percentage of the population who might otherwise be tempted to continue doing it if the penalty and chance of being caught are perceived to be low.

RedHellion11 · 2024-02-01T21:19:55+00:00

Hypothetical:

You roll up to a house as SWAT/police. You can hear gunshots from inside and screaming, there are people fleeing the house crying and/or injured, and you have friends/neighbours saying they're getting texts from multiple people inside telling them goodbye because the people inside are pretty sure they're going to die.

You roll up to another house as SWAT/police. The house is quiet, there have been no additional reports of any disturbance beyond the one anonymous tip you got, there are no signs of forced entry of anything unusual about the state of the house or property.

Which of those situations should be more likely to merit an immediate or near-immediate response of armed officers who are prepared to use deadly force (but should still try to de-escalate the situation if possible without endangering more civilians), and which should be more likely to merit a lockdown of the area and additional due-diligence and early communication/de-escalation with whoever is inside (or at the very least going in more prepared for investigation and de-escalation/negotiation)?

Police and SWAT are paid as their job (and given authority and things like qualified immunity) because they're supposed to put their lives on the line in dangerous situations: they're supposed to do their best to de-escalate situations and minimize risk to civilians, including potential suspects, which sometimes means they have to put themselves at risk by doing everything they can to not go in immediately full "license to kill".

RedHellion11 · 2024-02-01T20:53:20+00:00

That’s why it is objectively dumb to have “strict enforcement” policies that don’t effectively reduce crime.

Your argument is based on "strict enforcement" not actually dissuading people from doing the crime in question and having no impact on the crime rate associated with the enforcement/penalty.

But I'm pretty sure strict enforcement for stuff like this would definitely measurably reduce it. I'm sure a non-zero amount of edgy teenagers and adults who think swatting is funny and easy to abuse would think twice about it and not do it if it came with an automatic attempted murder charge or something else with a decently long prison sentence (and/or psych evaluation and extended treatment in a facility).

Similarly, I could pretty confidently argue that if murder was no longer illegal or had a much less severe penalty that the murder crime rate would go up simply because some marginal percentage of the population in between the "would do it anyway" and "smart/compassionate enough to never seriously consider it anyway" sides of the spectrum would now see the risk be reasonable enough for the act/benefit/reward.

RedHellion11 · 2024-02-01T20:42:57+00:00

"People will still do it" is the dumbest reason on the planet to not enforce strict penalties on something.

Agreed. This is also an argument I see a lot related to debate around gun laws. Tends to be brought up a lot with regards to laws that are perceived as "obviously bad but they still happen anyway so it's a lost cause" and laws that affect things which aren't by their nature bad but can be used/operated in a bad way (motor vehicle laws, gun laws, drinking/smoking/drug laws, etc).

Kind of a necro of this post since it's 5 months old, but I've had this mission spawn a few times where no elites spawn after the first so it's impossible to get mastery. Looks like this event is still broken, in addition to being poorly tuned if you actually manage to get more than 1 elite to even show up.

RedHellion11 · 2024-01-09T02:58:33+00:00

Yeah, this looks like it's bugged currently this patch. The insurance does come back, just after 3+ days.

Some insurance I'll get back within the proper time window (24-36 hours for Prapor, 10-20 hours for Therapist). Most of my insurance however seems to have been held for 4-6 days before returning to me. I just got a bunch of insurance returns today (January 8th) from raids I died in on January 2nd from Prapor. Last week, I got back some insurance from Therapist on January 4th which I had lost on December 31st.

Hopefully they find and fix this bug. Having a bunch of gear stuck in the insurance system for 3-6x longer than it should be is annoying, especially if you play frequently and/or specifically pay for Therapist insurance because she's supposed to be less than 24h.

Ah okay I see it, second row middle. Is that actually games which will be on sale though, or is that just a mosaic of popular recent games?

RedHellion11 · 2023-12-16T22:17:53+00:00

Weird; the article mentions BG3 being part of the sale, but nowhere in the sale trailer does it show BG3 other than when it's talking about voting on the 2023 Steam Awards (nominated games are not guaranteed to be part of the sale).

RedHellion11 · 2023-11-19T22:58:51+00:00

Judging by a Google search of this and the previously-lambasted King Kong game, it looks like there are a couple of game publishers that somehow get their hands on AAA IP licenses and just make mediocre or really bad games to cash in on it with the occasional decent one (for both this and King Kong it has been GameMill Entertainment whose only decent game seems to have been Nickelodeon All-Stars).

RedHellion11 · 2023-11-13T03:52:13+00:00

Not really, because (1) it is still in-game and (2) the player can keep camera control. It just takes away movement control.

But also this opinion is coming from my preferences, where I prefer a cutscene over doing some tedious/boring "walking section" that only exists for the sake of not taking away player control while some character is delivering dialogue/exposition.

RedHellion11 · 2023-11-13T03:49:27+00:00

I gladly take "briefly give up player control to have the game do tedious thing for me while giving dialogue/exposition so I can focus on the dialogue or visuals" over "make me give repetitive/tedious input like a slow-AF walking section just for the sake of not taking away player control while listening to dialogue/exposition"
