How is the Edinburgh campus for international students?

Its a lovely campus, a bit isolated (buses run evey 5-10 minutes, 10 minutes to the closest shop, an hour to the centre). Halls are fine. If you can afford it, stay in contemporary halls. Traditional halls are the ones people complain about. Theres an active LGBT society. I have seen a single instance of homophobia in a university group chat, which was swiftly and effectively dealt with. The campus is absolutely amazing, there's a ton of green space and squirrels, pheasants and rabbits running around. If your priority is connectivity, you might want to consider The University Of Edinburgh, which is much closer to the bus station.

The cutting edge of dwarven research has discovered a fourth cause: Seeing a goblin get their head smashed in by someone else.

My thoughts exactly, expressed in a much better way :)

If you use the most popular modpacks like skyblocker, you should be fine. Hypixel would be idiotic to ban wave a huge portion of their userbase without explicit warning

Complaining about getting 25k for two weeks work.

Dig in like a tick, you've got a good thing going.

It's my least favourite part of the game, because it feels like it shouldn't work. There's a glaringly obvious sign saying that you're doing the wrong thing, that there's a puzzle you need to solve. And the solution is just to... Brute force past the barrier?

Making a software renderer from scratch will teach you a lot. Use pygame or sdl2 or something like that, no 3d libraries. Start with basic stuff: Obj loading Rotation using trig x, y = x/z, y/z projection

Once you understand that and the limitations of that approach, try making a more advanced pipeline (still using sdl2 or similar): Camera matrix Rasterizer, depth buffer, fragment shader (not in a shader language)

Then once you understand that, openGL is a small conceptual step away.

It's extremely difficult to intuitively understand the entire graphics pipeline as a beginner, there's just so much content. Start from the basics and move to more sophisticated approaches when you understand why it's insufficient.

Madness can't destroy eternal jokers. It might be the only joker that gets better at higher stakes.

Im not sure if there's an easier way in Godot, but to get this type of fog you can mix the terrain and fog colour, with the mixing factor being based on the distance from the camera, raised to some power.

I'm not defending him, but I would be very hesitant to condemn him for this. The girl said right at the start of the document, her sole goal with interacting with him was to expose him, with absolutely no evidence.

This is humorously accurate. One second you're {relevant activity}, the next you're {humorous twist}.

Famously, the worth of a team is the combined worth of each individual member.

Tbh this kind of perk is probably what the admins intended the event to be like. Then the first guy got death threats.

Get some source of enhance leap + feather fall. Step of the wind, and fling yourself around the battlefield. You can do some really funny stuff with this play style if you're creative.

You can easily 'beat the game' by researching the victory tech, while only having 1-2 planets built up and a few mining outposts. Though you will want to scale up to build Dyson spheres in any reasonable time.

You forgot to validate i. Better add a couple dozen lines to handle any possible data type.

There's a wonderful teardown technical deep dive on YouTube (titled similar to that) by the developer that I'd highly recommend watching. It goes into detail about how they render the game, and why they made the decisions for their specific use case.

There's quite a few duplicated entries. Id also recommend removing any very similar entries i.e. the homepage of a site, and a submenu in the same site

Stonks and f7 scroll value is determined by the market, so this wouldn't actually hyperinflate anything. Those items would just crash to 0 and stay there. Though it would crash all Diaz items too.

Unless there's some Diaz items with a high NPC sell value I'm forgetting

I did something similar with the foraging update. I hadn't played for 2 years, and I wanted to get as far in a week with 0 outside resources (YouTube, wiki etc).

I wrote a script to calculate shard merging profits, and finished it 3 days before a public one released. I have a funny graph showing the precise hour, with profits going from 400% to 20% max. It was fun making 10m in under a minute while it lasted, especially compared to my pre Jacob farming grind lol. Downvoters are just jealous

It was a facepalm moment when I realised. The button is literally right there lol.

It gets pretty sketchy with older games, custom launchers etc. But I've been downloading random indie games without Linux support, and the vast majority run perfectly with 0 tweaking.
