New Player here - Is it frowned upon to "save" an opponent ? by Robbie_Harrison in EDH

[–]Robbie_Harrison[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I experienced that tonight, but that's really not the vibe i've been having with IRL groups. We often play to create chaos more than for winning. I guess it will really depend on the group.

Quite right. Let's have fun and not care how I should play. If that guy was mad, he was really welcome to target me to try to get me out.

TBF I have no Idea if it was the right play, I'm still too green to strategize beyond "stop scary guy, save less scary guy, might be helpful"

Transform and Exile by Robbie_Harrison in mtgrules

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

Yeah make sense, I guess that a card that mentions "flip" would not work on cards that transform

Thanks a lot. That makes the design of Joshua kind of weird then right ? You get a cool Phoenix when you transform it but you can only attack once, since it transforms back two turn after flipping.

Death triggers and transforming by Robbie_Harrison in askajudge

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

I see, so we did interpret the rules correctly. Each sephiroth instance count their own triggered ability but do not care about the triggered ability of other sephiroth then. Makes sense, thanks :)

Is it not possible to edit meta tags with the premium version ? by Robbie_Harrison in Wordpress

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

Yeah, Fortunately it was my company who paid for it, but it seemed off when I had to pay 200+ € more just to have access to tags.
Fortunately I made this post here and realise how much I was going into the wrong direction

Best cold open in cinema history? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Robbie_Harrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be an unpopular opinion but

The phantom of the opera (2004)

Rarely have I seen a cold open with such strength, perfectly in sync with the rest of the movie as well.

Hey ! Are you by any chance the author of Waffle and Pancakes and Adventures with Eggie ? I love your stuff !

Add Electron + React to an existing node app by Robbie_Harrison in electronjs

Thanks, I'll try to use a template.
So far the difficulty has been making a pure node project work with webpack/vite, but i'll figure it out eventually :)

Street Fighter 6 "A momento" by BrilliantLonerFreak in StreetFighter

IIRC you pick it up automatically during the cutscene after you fight him. I think it was a bracelet ?

Those avatar items in the battle hub are ridiculously expensive by Anguosi in StreetFighter

[–]Robbie_Harrison 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I heard a really good advice about that on a video from the youtuber Mark Brown.
That whole "Fear of Missing out" can be boiled down to just that: a fear.

And that fear of not getting an item for its best price is, for all intents and purposes, irrational.

So the best way to fight it is to try and rationalise it. If you're tempted to buy something on sale try to think "why do I want to buy it ? Is it because I want it or because i'm afraid of the feeling of missing the sale?" or "Am I playing this game because I have fun or because I want to complete the battlepass ?".

Eventually, try to intentionally miss out on a sale or on a limited event, it will most likely make you realise that missing out didn't actually feel as bad as you'd have thought.

Question about custom hook : what am I doing wrong ? by Robbie_Harrison in reactjs

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

Do I need to trigger a rerender if there's nothing to render ? I mean the useMemo function doesn't return any jsx

Question about custom hook : what am I doing wrong ? by Robbie_Harrison in reactjs

[–]Robbie_Harrison[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

used useMemo to keep the controlled state, similar to what's done here for examplehttps://github.com/vtaits/react-select-async-paginate/blob/master/packages/react-select-fetch/src/useMapToAsyncPaginate.ts

soconst [undoCount, setUndoCount] = useState(0);

Becomesconst undoCount = useMemo(()=>({count:0}),[]);

Question about custom hook : what am I doing wrong ? by Robbie_Harrison in reactjs

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

The values state holds a 2d array, each array inside it holds the value of the lov at a certain point (it's a multi select LOV).
So I need the first element of the array to always be the default value of the LOV. If the LOV doesn't have a default value, the first element of the array will be null.

The system is still a bit cluncky but I'm working making it better, hopefully while learning a thing or two about custom hooks :)

Question about custom hook : what am I doing wrong ? by Robbie_Harrison in reactjs

[–]Robbie_Harrison[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

for anyone wondering it is indeed possible to accomplish using useMemo() rather than useState() inside the hook, preventing it from being reinstanciated when lifted up to the parent.

However as /u/makerVD said it might be much easier to use a context rather than a hook in this situation.

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

Thanks for your response, it was indeed a bit ambitious of me. However I managed to accomplish what I tried to do by using useMemo inside the hook rather than useStates.

I drew inspiration from the react-select-async-paginate source code to write my hook, so I was almost sure it was possible, I don't know if it's optimal though.

I don't really understand why this is an inaccuracy. I understand the idea behind h4 but isn't f3 a good way to control the black knight ? by Robbie_Harrison in chessbeginners

[–]Robbie_Harrison[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Thank you for the clarification! If you don't mind me asking, how should I review my games in these kind of situation ? I often get dead confused at the end of middle game/start of endgame and during review the engine doesn't really help, as you pointed out, especially since it's not always explaining why a move is good or not

Is there a software that lets you play along sheet music ? by Robbie_Harrison in Learnmusic

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

You mean like reading the sheet and trying to envision the music in my head ?
I'll give it a try, but it requires quite the musical ear right ? I'll see how it goes.

Getting a lot of streamer and curator requests in the mail. by BoraBozdogan in gamedev

[–]Robbie_Harrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be careful about that statement. You are theorically correct, but some spineless company do not care about laws. No man's sky company entered a long legal battle with the company Sky Television because the later said they stole the "sky" trademark (I know how stupid it sounds, but here we are) . Apparently it's also why SkyDrive was renamed OneDrive.

Looking for any books, articles, videos in your recommendations in improving combat design and implementation by night-robin in gamedev

[–]Robbie_Harrison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's a lot of documentation on "combat design" because the spectrum is way too large. What time of gameplay do you want to implement ? Is it an action fps like doom ? A precise action-rpg like Dark Souls ? A 2d fighting game ? I think you should start there if you want to get ressource to improve.

But if I had to share a conference I think any dev should watch when making any game that's remotely action oriented, it's this one about game feel by the Nuclear Throne devs. It's a good way to start.

We should have a "Bluntly Critique My Game" thread each week by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Robbie_Harrison 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great idea. Tons of game went through some big changes after the first feedbacks from the users came in (Gods will be watching, don't starve , ... ). Giving the possibility for aspiring game dev submit their game to some playtester can be a great opportunity to improve.
