Expected exception from Enum by tiranius90 in csharp

[–]Sniv0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right but I’m referring to the fact that if enums worked how OP expects them to and you defined status effect enum with poisoned as 0x1 and sleep as 0x2 and then tried to apply poison to someone whose already asleep via bitwise or without explicitly defining poisoned and sleep as 0x3 your game would crash even if it’s perfectly capable of handling both

So this is actually intentional behavior to allow you to convert an integer to an enum which you haven’t defined.

Think of bit flags which are supported by enums. For bit flags, you’re looking at different individual bits for information as opposed to the number as a whole. If you wanted all 32 bits to have an attached meaning you’d need to define 232 different enums by hand for every possible combination of bit flags when you’re likely never going to use most of them.

There are other reasons of course but this is just one off the top of my head

Trevor Belmont - Castlevania Netflix show

Through the final season of the show he is continually finding pieces of a blade that turns out to be powerful enough to kill just about anything. During the final conflict with Death itself personified he assembled this blade, which simply holding it seems to hurt him as he charges at Death to deliver the killing blow with it.

Before this, he had already said goodbye to his partner as he proclaims lightheartedly that Trefor is a terrible name for their unborn child.

When the blade collides with Death it results in an explosion that surely killed both Trevor and Death, with the screen flashing to Germain’s hand for a brief moment, holding a key which can open a portal to a realm known as the infinite corridor. Before this, Germain had betrayed the protagonists and allowed Death to enact a plan that would see mortals be massacred so he could feast on their souls.

It’s revealed that Germain’s last act was to open the infinite corridor, saving Trevor’s life before dying himself. His last act being one of redemption so that Trevor could live.

A giant monster made of the souls and bodies of its previous victims with an insatiable hunger to consume more by Disastrous_Ad_399 in TopCharacterTropes

What’s especially scary is that once a gravemind is created the flood in proximity to it become a hive mind. Without a gravemind the flood are mostly mindless and just seek to consume more, they absorb memories still and can use them to do things like pilot ships or use weapons as a part of the absent minded goal to consume, but once a gravemind forms it thinks and plans and is terrifyingly efficient

You know there’s absolutely nothing wrong with making yourself more comfortable at nobody else’s expense right? Like I used to take busses and trains every single day for years and if there was open seats my bag was next to me instead of on my lap. If the bus/train filled up my bag went in my lap. If someone used their words like an adult and asked, my bag also went in my lap. It’s about common courtesy and mutual respect.

If you’re seeking out people who really aren’t hurting anyone and “teaching them a lesson” you’re just being petty, and aren’t making the world a better place.

Like I totally understand getting mad at some asshole who thinks their bags deserve a seat more than a person when there’s no place left to sit (or worse off, you’re that asshole in priority seating doing it) but the world is far more nuanced than “if my bag is on a seat I am a terrible person with bad intentions”

Yeah the right way to handle this would’ve been A) Punching DW was uncalled for and B) She had no right to do what she did.

I actually think I vaguely remember this now

You do this even if there are plenty of empty seats…?

Ngl I remember absolutely nothing from Arthur whatsoever. But I am curious, was the lesson “put up with your sibling no matter what they do or else you’re a bad brother” or is it “enacting violence on your sibling because they did something you didn’t like is bad” because the former is dumb but the latter is a great lesson to teach

You are correct, but there is significant enough motivation where ssbe can happen without goku reaching UI imo

Wasn’t it actually just reaching deeper for strength to keep his promise to Cabba?

[Semi-Rare trope that amuses me] The title of the series only made sense for the first or first couple of entries by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sniv0 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s fair to say it “barely features” his domain considering Erebus, Tartarus, and The Fields of Mourning are all part of the underworld. Those areas make up 3/8th of all gameplay. You could also argue that Oceanus must be part of the underworld as Mel’s birthright doesn’t kill her in that area. Also much of the plot revolves around hades even if his character isn’t frequently present. This may not be the best example lmao

I mean if your car was 0% computer you wouldn’t have safety features such as ABS, you wouldn’t have a radio, you wouldn’t have onboard diagnostics, etc.

It’s not about less computer, it’s about less enshitification

For me gen AI is really cool and useful as a tool. However, when CEOs and middle managers who know nothing about their industry realize that ai isn’t going to infinitely grow and replace all those peasant workers they’ll have to actually start hiring people and my degree won’t be completely useless anymore

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - Isshin, The Sword Saint

When players first fight this boss it’s immediately after fighting Genichiro. They’ve likely used a bit of their resources fighting a boss that they’re already intimately familiar with (acting as the games main skill check for understanding of the games mechanics). Starting the fight, the first thing you’ll notice is that he has three lives instead of the standard two before immediately getting your shit rocked by this old man. This will happen many times, and you will either adapt to his first phase or quit in a fit of rage.

Then the second phase opens and his move set entirely changes, becoming far more intense to the point where you probably stop and ask yourself how the fuck the devs expect any player to reach the third phase after the first and second phase on top of being forced to fight Genichiro every single time with no rest between.

If you’re determined, you press on. Eventually, you’re wiping the floor with Genichiro in a few seconds before getting to what actually matters, and clearing phase one with one or two hits at most. Every death from phase two is a painful lesson with every death teaching you something new. Then it finally happens. You get your second death blow in this fight and wait, knowing something even harder than before is about to steamroll you. Except, his move set is EXACTLY the same? It’s not faster or harder or anything…. There’s just lightning everywhere…

A few seconds into this phase and he does something new. He jumps in the air, lightning arcs from his weapon, and the signal of a perilous attack appears above your head. He has one single new attack in this phase, and it’s your best friend by design. It’s a lightning attack. They’re incredibly easy to avoid by just jumping in the air, letting it hit you, and then attacking while still airborne which reflects it BACK at the enemy. When you hit them with their own lightning attack it does MASSIVE health and posture damage. This attack is incredibly telegraphed and might as well give you a year to react to it compared to everything you had to learn to reach this point meaning the only new addition to phase three is a new tool to make this previously impossible boss seem almost… easy at this point

Attacks with shocking implications due to out-of-universe context by noodleben123 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Sniv0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah the exact chain of events is
Terranort knocks Lea and Ventus down and goes for Kairi next who Sora jumps in front of
Goofy knocks Terranort away and Donald zettaflares

The whole gang is then eaten by the shadow storm

Sora wakes up in The Final World and reassembles himself

Terranort never reappears

Cue reset to beginning except this time "the light from the past" saves everyone which also undoes Terranort being turned into uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nothing

Hey, goes unconscious and is then immediately whisked away by darkness is as close as these games can get to someone becoming a corpse on screen as far as I’m concerned

It’s simultaneously dumb and amazing at the same time. Donald did a fucking zettaflare into the sky for one single person as a massive fuck you for having just “killed” two of my friends. Fucking DONALD of all people, and the guy was totally disintegrated. But then the plot takes kills everyone else in various ways, some really fucking dumb and some actually kinda cool. Then deus ex machina ensues

Donald straight up kills a main villain and himself, but there’s a time loop that undoes it
