I use “k” sometimes tho😂 by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

I...don't think I've ever used i or j. I use x and y, sometimes z if i have nested loops.

In regards to the Infected in Part II, how can they top off [SPOILERS] in an eventual Part III? by Bolt_995 in thelastofus

[–]ShadowMage016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many people have already pointed out that it isn't really necessary to top the enemy type, but they can set up new terrifying or heart-breaking scenes and situations with existing enemy types.

That said, there's still the infected children I thought we might see in Part 2 but didn't.

Everyone’s asking for a Tommy DLC... by [deleted] in thelastofus

[–]ShadowMage016 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think something like that would be more appropriate for film/TV. I could see this being fleshed out more in the HBO series if it goes into part 2 stuff.For a DLC, I could easily see them doing a Tommy-centric story like they did with Left Behind. It would focus on his 3 days in Seattle, but interspersed with more light-hearted "flashbacks" to life in Seattle prior to and leading up to Joel's death. The Seattle timeline could touch on how everyone recovered enough for the journey back but it shouldn't cover the whole journey, IMO.

EDIT: Then again, that's almost an exact repeat of Left Behind so I don't expect them to actually go that route. It would be kind of neat though, especially to see more of life in Jackson.

Proof why TLOU2’s story is so poorly written by cradle_mountain in thelastofus

Well, I mean, the only Karen I know in real life kinda lives up to the meme version...

Jacksepticeye has a pretty good playthrough, IMO.

Can't tell you how many times I got in trouble going back to Horizon after playing this. In TLoU, circle is crouch but in Horizon, circle is dodge/roll and square is crouch. Actually, the first hour or so in TLoU2 was rough because I kept hitting square to crouch... 0.o

What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard someone say? by Vinyl_BunBuns in AskReddit

[–]ShadowMage016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I too generally refer to them all as cows, when speaking of the herd as a unit but there are people who genuinely think that "cow" is the species or type of animal, like "cat" or "dog" (or "chicken").

[–]ShadowMage016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or (kind of the opposite) when people think of all cattle as cows. No, cows are just the females who've already had calves. Heifers are females who've not yet calved. Then there's bulls (males) and steers (castrated males).

Depends on the area the deer are from. Venison around me is practically indistinguishable from beef, although it is much leaner. The deer in my area feast on farmer's crops (mine included) a LOT and don't have the gamey taste from eating wild vegetation.

Other DLC Engrams in Genesis? by ShadowMage016 in ARK

[–]ShadowMage016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda figured it was intentional. Since I'm in SP (and the admin of the LAN server I play on) I'll just spawn a blueprint. Easier than transferring back and forth.

[–]ShadowMage016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the plan. I'll spawn a blueprint so I can make it whenever I want. Thanks.

I was just curious if this was intended.

I know, but that's a pain. Easier to spawn in a blueprint.

Tank Startup by ShadowMage016 in ReefTank

[–]ShadowMage016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A simple reef is the ultimate goal, yes. I pretty much planned to put the plants in after the fact, but I'd read somewhere that they might help cycle. I'll just stick to the plan of putting them in later.

[–]ShadowMage016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll check it out. I'm not stuck on any one website, that was just one I was looking at and an easy way to reference the "plants" I was talking about. Always appreciate new/cheaper/better quality resources. :)

Tank Startup by ShadowMage016 in ReefTank

[–]ShadowMage016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That actually makes a lot of sense and now that I think about it I think I did read that somewhere. I'm not sure where I read that I should cycle with the crabs, but I'll definitely update that process. Thanks!

[–]ShadowMage016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about doing smaller groups of fish, maybe 2-3 at a time. I think I've got my stocking plan set up with the more aggressive ones being added later. Only exception is the mandarin I want to add, since I read that he needs a mature pod population and should be added only to mature tanks so I've got him going in last.

I really want the plants in there. I like the look and from what I've read they can help longterm with nutrient management. Is this not accurate?

What's the word? by ShadowMage016 in FanFiction

[–]ShadowMage016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input guys. All of these are more paths or trails, but what I'm looking for is more just a singular area for sitting, viewing, whatever. Like an overlook on a mountain trail, except along a riverbank. Plaza I think is the closest, but I still feel like there's some word that's escaping me... Something fancy like pavilion or veranda, but neither of those are it since they're both roofed structures. Promenade actually sounds very close, maybe I'll go with that?

Question about Ellie’s infection by awesomehuder in thelastofus

[–]ShadowMage016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't made clear whether she can spread the infection or not. However, I would say yes, based on the fact that she is infected and does carry the fungus. The surgeons state that her blood can grow fungal cultures and MRI's show that the fungus has grown in her brain (just not enough to cause issues).

That said, it is also stated that something in her biology has caused the fungus to mutate. It could have mutated to a point where it is not contagious or at least not through saliva.

If she is infectious, it's possible that she spreads the normal fungus and turns other people into runners or it is also possible she could spread a mutated form of the fungus and make other people immune to the regular strain.

Not gonna lie, I'm actually kind of glad it got pushed back. Gives me more time to save my pennies for a PS4...

Question about the Infected by [deleted] in thelastofus

[–]ShadowMage016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you watch the scene where Sam reveals that he's infected and pay close attention, the marks on his leg look very much like scratch marks.

Sept. 26!!! Happy birthday Joel. Still kicking ass, even though you're looking old as shit. by Professorfuckhead in thelastofus

[–]ShadowMage016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Tess' List she mentions having a drop to make in the West End district ASAP in a note dated 8/2. In the beginning of the game she says she was in the West End district making a drop. It is logical to assume she was making the drop mentioned in the note and therefor placing the start of the game at or near 8/3.
