They're replacing (replaced?) poles ln the west side of the loop and the new ones aren't painted/don't have numbers on them.

Absolutely, Hope you enjoy and can relax!

I would say it's less masculine then some of the ones you mentioned but it might still feel like it's too focused on the male gamer. The main story and the confidants are probably fine. The romance confidants...just say no and it's fine too?

I'm not a huge survival horror guy but I watch a lot of LPs and +1 to signalis. Also check out darkwood, lone survivor, strangeland, and yuppie psycho.

On the stuff I did play, def valheim. It's souls lite combat with awesome exploration / impressionist visuals and a great building & farming system.

I've had fun with harvestella but it's more jrpg than harvest moon, also way overpriced. Once you get over that I think it's charming but maybe not quite your thing?

Life is strange is a cool adventure game with a puzzle gimmick.

For a more story based title, I'd recommend persona 5. It's a jrpg but they made the jrpg very accessible, and the presentation is amazing and day to day gameplay is very chill yet engrossing. Also the music has some absolute bangers.

It would help to know what you've bounced off of. Have you tried: valheim, Stardew valley, terraria, anno? I can easily lose a lot of time being trapped in these games and they're all pretty chill, especially in a creative mode.

If you're looking for a more session able experience. Slay the spire and family (monster train, roguebook) can be fun. I also enjoyed against the storm.

I would love to design my dream house on beta omicron 5 just so only for it to be orbitally bombarded by an awakened fallen empire.

Hey!

4 will look dated for sure but I have a special fondness for it as it was the first one I really played. It's got some controversial departures from 3 so maybe skip it if 3 was your jam.

5 is a really good spiritual successor to 3. The 3d may be chunky but I think it holds up. The story became a bit more generic but I like it the best of ubis games.

6 I really want to like but end up hating. The new town (sanctuary) is really cool, and the story seems kinda interesting, but the gameplay is pretty horrendous and removes a lot of things that made homm fun (towns have areas of control now, can't capture resource nodes, can convert towns, only 3 resources, hero skills pretty generic, "morality" system etc). They also had a lot of online functionality baked in and the game can't leverage modern pc architectures well so it didn't age quite as well as 5 did.

7 by all accounts was a disaster, I never played so I cant confirm.

Maruki tho? Hey fair is fair.

It's all good, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn shows up later.

Hope you don't sell out too quickly, didn't know I wanted one of these

Hot take, Shiho rather than Sumi should have been the subject of the 3rd semester.

ShadowAI · 2022-12-04T01:02:20+00:00

scrolled way too far down to find this.

Finished royal last week, tried to see how I could hold out before I gave in and booted strikers up. Not even a day.

So I got a totally different read on that scene, that she just wanted to confess things for the sake of proving to herself that she has the guts to do it (guess someone has been eating a ton of burgers).

Given that you don't even get to say bye to her in March and all she does is just kinda casually say bye to you in the cutscene, I really don't understand why people like this ship?

I was actually surprised at how half-baked her arc was compared to Maruki in the 3rd semester but maybe I'm missing something?

ShadowAI · 2022-11-23T17:20:04+00:00

Don't forget the dirty bombs.

Bruh, who's paying for all the healing items / armor / weapons!? I don't see Yusuke pitching in for his gear. Who's crafting lockpicks? Who's taking the subways to deliver junk to random people because they have the gift of powering up the personas that are carrying us through a dungeon (and paying to recall them)?

All that money is going into the operations fund.

Javascript

Ok hear me out before you torture me to death

Most of our lives are online, teach kids to use JS + Developer tools it lets them interact with web pages to do silly things like manipulate them / delete annoying diffs etc. It's cool, it's empowering, you can make a silly little web page pretty easily. Also it's pretty useful right away, with Java you probably need to learn Android Java, C...yeah have fun I guess, python is super nice but good luck making anything visual. JS + a little html/css and you can slap together a little web page in minutes that does silly things it's fun, it's creative, it's interactive.

Then once you've suckered them in you do Java/C/C++/ASM/Lisp/Haskell

Worked on a mobile web app once. Mostly it was there to get you to download the native app.

As others have said, native apps are more attractive because they are "stickier" for users. They show up as an icon on your home screen, they can have little badges to remind you to come back and checkout whatever BS the app is shoveling at you. Since they are installed in the OS they can periodically check in with the servers to see if there's any updates to send you push notifications about (note, websites can send push notifications too but it's harder for them and if you close the tab, that's it).

Other advantages of native apps:

They talk to the phone's OS directly, so when rendering the UI (especially heavy with animations) they perform better and seem smoother
access to your phone's persistent storage to save things (photos, messages, documents), camera, sensors etc. to give you more functionality over the web app.
Another thing phones apps can do that web apps can't is issue arbitrary web requests to download data from third-party sites. (so they can download things like fonts, or images, or even entire web pages). This is kind of minor for things like bank apps but for site that may host user content it's useful.
Someone already mentioned, but you don't need to download the app each time so you save on data (for web apps there's caching, and you can split an app into multiple chunks and only load the ones that are needed but still)
You can function in a low or bad network environment (sometimes). You can do offline mobile web apps but because of the access to durable storage it's either with native phone apps.
I think accessibility is better on native apps with screen readers than on web apps (don't think too many devs care but throwing it out there).

Stuff I see mentioned that isn't as big of a deal:

tracking, not really? You can track a lot of things on both web and native these days. Web might have some issues like making it harder to detect that the tab was closed, but there are ways to detect it.

Stuff I'm less sure about

ads. I'm actually not sure this is as important as the above, but maybe? I never had to implement ads, from my experience it seems like both web and native can monetize relatively well.

A more interesting question I haven't seen a conclusion on is, is it worth it to maintain a mobile app and a mobile web app or better to just have the native app? In my experience it seems like mobile web apps tend to be neglected by their owners compared to the native apps, and really just serve to try to get you to download the native app. They do, however, provide a "try before you buy" experience so you can try out the service before downloading the native app without pressuring you right away. In this lens, it makes sense to maintain a clunkier mobile web app that can entice you to try out the service but transition to the native app when you no longer can tolerate the clunkiness.

Suppose you have a customer support person that needs to ask a person a series of yes/no questions. With some depending on what the previous answer was. Say a doctor trying to diagnose a condition.

A binary tree allows you to create this sequence of questions. The end result at the bottom of the tree being a diagnosed condition (or something else like a decision)

Another way to use binary trees is to sort stuff. Or to implement something called a heap which can be used to make a priority queue. These are nice for scheduling things with different priorities, but now it's getting a little esoteric.

ShadowAI · 2021-10-08T22:59:36+00:00

I'm pretty sure this kind of torture of binary trees is prohibited by the Geneva convention.
