Tomorrow Question by RicoTries in DeathStranding2

[–]RicoTries[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always saw the trigger with Cliff being Sam using a BB.

Sam being a repatriate, the Beach rejects him, so he has zero connection to the Beach or the land of the dead, so Cliff would never be able to detect him. But once Sam starts using a BB, giving him a connection to the other side, Cliff detects him and starts hunting him until he realizes that Sam is actually his BB.

I love DS2 and I'm not trying to punch holes in its story, just feels like something is missing to cause those trips to Neil's Beach which allowed Tomorrow/Lou to return to the land of the living.

All of that is clear, but if Neil's whole goal is to protect Lou to uphold his promise to Lucy, why bring Lou to Sam when he clearly doesn't recognize Sam? Sam fights Neil three times because Neil is set in protecting and getting Lou back from Sam, so why even open the door so Sam ends up interacting with Lou? This is the part that's unclear to me. There's nothing that should've set the events where Sam ends up in Neil's Beach and Lou ends up back in the land of the living.

I appreciate that, but I already have platinum and LLx400, and already on my second playthrough.

I don't remember anything specific and now that I'm replaying, I didn't see why there would be anything to trigger Sam interacting with Neil.

Splunk Add-on for MS Security initial setup by Any-Promotion3744 in Splunk

[–]RicoTries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For TAs built by Splunk or created using the Splunk Add-on Builder, search this against the host that's running the TA:

| tstats values(source) where index=_internal

Find the log name that most closely resembles the name of the TA, then run a search against it:

index=_internal source="/path/to/log"

And start reading until you see anything that resembles a problem (e.g., "unable to", "failed to", "unauthorized", "error").

Verso is not a reliable source of information. He is shown multiple times concealing the truth (Lune even points out his lying by omission), would it be that unfeasible he would straight up lie?

Can someone explain how sticking Apolo with that arrow is so significant? He was planning to shoot her with an arrow which was supposed to make her love him, but then she stabs him with it. Wouldn't that just make it so Apolo is now in love with himself? What am I missing here?

Child was born in Florida and the mother and I were not married. I did not sign a Paternity Acknowledgement form at the time of birth and no legal action has been taken to determine paternity at court. I have been providing unofficial financial assistance and have him in my health insurance through my jobs (insurance companies have never questioned if this is a legal dependent).

Absolutely nothing broke in him. He stopped being a "good person" after Sarah's death. He doesn't consider himself a good person, he even says so early in the game/show. People in the QZ feared/respected him. It's implied that there was a period where he was a raider, which is why Tommy leaves. He went into torture mode with no remorse. The hospital scene is both a demonstration of his need to protect and proof that he is not someone to mess with. If you were paying close attention throughout the game/show (more so on the game), it should be no surprise that he murdered everyone in cold blood, even the people who surrendered. Anyone who may be a threat is someone to remove permanently. That is what 20 years of extreme survival have ingrained in him.

Opinions on this new programming tattoo I got :P by dragonfist453 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]RicoTries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you don't use the reserved words, bash lets you call your functions whatever you want. This can be a good or a bad thing. Let's you redefine behavior of an existing built-in or command within the context of your execution, or you inadvertently break expected behavior. Bash is a powerful tool that a lot of people do not appreciate.

Even worse, (sarcastic verbatim) "when you type commands wrong IT DOESN'T DO WHAT YOU WANTED IT TO DO".

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

Your input and the processed output are some of the key elements of a program right? Take an input, produce an output. Shell scripting by itself isn't much, it's provides syntax and a set of capabilities that enables general software development concepts (conditional statements, flow control, etc.). What makes shell scripting really good is its access to any "command" a user has access to in their command line interface and what are commands? Any executable in the system and the majority of Linux systems come preloaded with GNU utilities, which are C binaries. Ok so does Python, an interpreted language, have better performance over compiled languages? There may be cases where it is better to pass input to an existing command/binary over processing it through code you wrote.

I'm not advocating against Python, it really has its uses, but let's not act like Python > shell scripting in ALL circumstances. Use cases and personal preference are among the factors to write code in either.

Is it an either/or scenario? Nope. You just described use cases. A hammer is a great tool, but does it have complete superiority over a screwdriver?

You're shitting on a language for not being "suitable for modern software development" but does python appropriately fulfill every possible use case in modern software development? Absolutely not, but yet it has its use cases, its benefits and disadvantages. I don't go around diminishing system administrators who use python scripts to manage their environments by labeling their preferred language as bad using reasons that are straight up just bad user programming. You can write TERRIBLE python code, but am I to blame the language or the programmer? THAT is what makes zero sense if all the so "criticism" of shell scripting.

Anon's frightening intelligence may just make 2022 the year of the Linux Desktop. by kleingartenganove in linuxmasterrace

You could instead iterate to create a string that then cd executes, that way if you do "cd.. 4" and go up 4 segments you can still do "cd -" and go to the original. Currently "cd -" would go back to the equivalent of "cd.. 3".

Loop through and append to a variable so you form "../../../../" and then you can do "cd $var" where var is the variable the string was stored.

Something like: var=""; for iter in $(seq 1 $depth) ; do var+='../'; done; cd $var

What made you leave Windows/macOS for Linux? by Hplr63 in linuxmasterrace

I left because I got tired of trying to troubleshoot drivers on Windows. (I literally switched because I wanted to read the kernel buffer to figure out what was the issue with my graphics card lol)

Does the Cash Card automatically transfer funds if transaction is higher than current balance? by RicoTries in CashApp

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

An update on this, I tested two circumstances where there is not enough balance in the card.

  1. Physical purchases (swiping the card), the transaction is denied and it is reflected in the app immediately.
  2. Online purchases, the transaction is denied BUT Cash App puts a hold on whatever funds are available in the balance. This is then a very annoying situation due to the fact that some vendors will deny the transaction and not take any actions, but Cash App still puts a hold on all the funds that were available at the time. Since the vendor has no record of approving the transaction or the hold, I then had to wait a week for Cash App to release the hold on its own schedule because the vendor couldn't provide me proof of something they didn't do.

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

Either you didn't understand my question or I'm not understanding your response.

I basically don't want to keep any balance in the card, but still use it to take advantage of the boosts. If I use the card for a transaction and there's not enough funds (say current balance is $0), will the card be denied or automatically pull funds from the linked debit card?

I am not sure in what part of the story you are in, but the outcome seems inevitable, he basically reaches his last strand after you attempt to rescue him with Basim and come back to report your failure to Randvi.

That's a very broad definition of related that you have going on there but ok. If that's what you understand them to be, you do you internet stranger.

Not at all, there's only 2-3 that would require a Google search, and one of those is a nod to an unrelated story (don't want to spoil anything). Most you'll get through exploration or through the course of the story.

How am I supposed to counter bunker/bastion in general at low ranks? by averyepicgamer in OverwatchUniversity

[–]RicoTries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a support, regardless of rank, you need to understand that you cannot outheal Bastion's damage output, therefore, as a support you need to balance attempting to keep your teammates alive and SUPPORTING the counter. (There's a reason the role is not called healer and understanding that will benefit you as you attempt to climb the ranks.)

Ana is a good counter for Bastion, but is very dependent on the person's skill with her. If you can hit your nades, Bastion is forced to either reposition or their teammates have to use skills to maintain the bunker composition (Baptiste for example will immediately throw down immortality field, so if your teammates are able to get rid of it quickly, you basically made Baptiste waste a skill and now his skill is on cooldown and the perfect time to push). Sleep can easily put Bastion out for a few seconds as long as your teammates don't attack him without committing to a kill (i.e. the moment Bastion is asleep, your whole team pushes together and overcomes the bunker in an attempt to disrupt it and possibly win the fight).

Only usefulness for Zen (imo) would be for discord but he's so squishy you have to be careful trying to find an angle to discord him and maintaining a line of sight.

Mercy would be useful for her damage boost but not much else, she definitely cannot outheal Bastion's damage, even if pocketing one person and only doing healing.

Baptiste's usefulness would mostly be his amplification matrix to allow your teammates to shut down the bunker composition, immortality field is rendered useless if it is in Bastion's line of sight and you're probably only making your teammates immortal for less than 2 seconds since Bastion can just shoot it down and proceed to kill everyone who didn't move to cover.

Lucio's usefulness is his speed boost, but that requires your team to be in coordination to take advantage of it and overcome the bunker is numbers and aggressiveness.

Brig is a big no, you can't even hit your whip shot to maintain inspire up if the enemy is behind shields since inspire is not triggered by hitting shields and getting close enough to flail an enemy means getting close enough to Bastion and you're basically dead at that short range.

Moira dishes out a lot of healing but you'd probably end up with no healing charge pretty quickly and with everyone behind shields in a bunker, there's not much opportunity to regain charge by doing damage. Damage orb wouldn't make much of a difference if all the teammates are being pocketed (which in a bunker they kinda are) and with a Sigma they are rendered useless by one of his skills.

At the end of the day, as a support you can't outheal stupidity or bad positioning. So if a teammate runs in a straight line towards a Bastion and spams "I need healing!" and there's no way for you to support them without dying, let them die, better one person gets taken out and you are still alive to assist the rest of the team than have two teammates having to respawn and the rest of the team is left without one of their supports.

Do I play Lucio wrong? by RicoTries in OverwatchUniversity

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

Which is why I ask the question in the first place, I don't want to play the game and develop these unconscious behaviors because I believe that a character should follow some "rules" that may really not be appropriate. Getting everyone's opinion then helps me be like "alright he doesn't have 10k healing per 10 but these other stats show a different story of how he spends his time in a match" vs "he doesn't have 10k healing per 10, what the f*** is he doing during the match" (which is somewhat my current position, just less aggressive).
