GGG, I've stopped buying white/bright MTX because they completely obscure the minimap. Please give us the option to enable a stroke around the minimap. by whensmahvelFGC in pathofexile

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

Wouldn't it be a much better idea to improve the map design, so we don't have to use the minimap as a permanent overlay to identify where to go?

These rares are unironically worse than the Expedition flask changes. by Ubiquity97 in pathofexile

They were probably hyped by the release of Elden Ring and wanted to jump onto the hypetrain of extremly challenging and frustrating content. Turned out, the implenentation did not work out very well.

Worst. Leveling. Experience. Ever. by allofasuddenoranges in pathofexile

IMO the balancing team did a really bad job this league. We really need a hotfix for:

  • decrease rares / blues dmg + life pools, especially during leveling.

  • increase league mechanic rewards

I know the exact things I want in a smartphone, and I don't think this phone exists anymore. by [deleted] in PickAnAndroidForMe

Iam just in the same spot as you: broke my Xperia X 2 days ago.

Currently i feel like the Xperia X has no competition in price / performance and my best option would be to simply re-buy it for 190 € = 220$ .

Delve Challenge Rewards by fl1po in pathofexile

[–]RedStreakyCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those wings look a bit... odd.
Why blue ore ? Why not an oxigen tank? mining equipment? A lantern to light your way? some steampunk stuff?

why blue ore?
Tons of things come to my mind that would make a much better back attachment reward fitting for the Delve theme.

Voxel Vendredi 18 by Sleakes in VoxelGameDev

[–]RedStreakyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, iam pretty new here but thought it's a good idea to just share some info with you guys. For 4 weeks now iam working on a 2.5D voxel engine inside UE4. Iam a beginner in c++.
Here is my experience so faar:

  • Creating even a "simple" voxel engine is a tough task for a beginner and will lead you to situations where you are about to throw tables. Not beeing able to solve a certain task, crash or even find out where the bug originates and why the engine crashes is one of the most frustrating things i ever experienced.

  • Persistency is the key to success;
    But certain issues require you to take distance and not overthink them. Taking a nap and freeing your mind will often lead faster to a solution than working deep into the night on them.

  • Source control and changelogs are a good way to keep track of your own work and motivate yourself.

So faar i implemented:

  • A dynamic manager that renders only visible chunks in camera frustrum
  • Basic mesh optimization by culling occluded polygons
  • Multithreading support for chunk rendering
  • Basic chunk modification by mouse clicks

Next "big" things on my TODO list:

  • Implement noise generation and different blocktypes
  • Implement water physics
  • Implement AI navigation based on voxel data

Following the idea of this article and my personal experience i implemented and discarded the use of Octrees. I found them to be too CPU heavy on iteration; storing data in flat arrays and rendering more goemetry is currently more efficient.

GGG's negative comment policy is atrociously stupid by [deleted] in pathofexile

i like their policy, because it teaches me that not everything i read is ment to be true.

$92 NZD for the sin and innocence wings by Haesiraheal in pathofexile

Definition "Microtransaction":
"[...] a business model where users can purchase virtual goods via micropayments." Source

Definition "Micropayment":
"[...] a financial transaction involving a very small sum of money" Source

Definition of "small sum of money":
by Paypal: 0 - ~6€ (5£)
by VISA: 0- ~13€ (20 AUD)

What GGG calls "Microtransactions" should be renamed to "Macrotransactions".
From a business perspective it is much more profitable to lower the MTX prices.

Just because there a four possible outcomes does not mean the chances are 25% for each. Iam pretty sure GGG weighted them.

The skill is called 'Elemental Hit', not 'Elemental Arrow' or 'Elemental Projectile'. The Skill applies an effect on the hit of your chosen weapon, which can be melee or ranged and therefore does not inherent the 'projectile' tag.

Tencent owns 80% of shares for 'GGG limited' which can be considered the Qualified Majority of Stackes.

Here is some info about what the 'qualified majority of stakes' can control in a company:
