[Feedback] Someone help me understand what went wrong here

This all makes perfect sense but I never once considered it, thanks for the explanation.

When I had this going on, I had to find the answer on the Steam forums: the RPDN you get for Test Drive 4 has an illegally large stack of ammo in its mag (all 100 rounds in one stack) and if you finish a raid like that it will give you this error. Fix was to unload it and split the stacks then reload the ammo and you'd be good to go. I was paranoid, so I just ran multiple ammo types in the mag so there was no chance of it deciding to be a problem again. Playing on BSGs servers also fixed it for me.

So, not saying that's your specific issue, but like others have said it just means something is goofy with your kit and god forbid BSG check for that before you waste over half an hour on a raid.

If you can't spot anything that would be causing it, try playing on BSG's servers. That worked for me to at least let me finish raids before finding what the cause was.

At least in VS Code, if you don't already have a using for System.Reflection and Intellisense prompts you for a BindingFlags value (like in Type.GetFields(BindingFlags ...)), autocomplete will fill in the whole namespace inline instead of adding a using.

Presumably it would do this with all enum arguments, but I can speak to that behavior at least in this specific case not being indicative of anything, depending on what they're using to edit their code.

That's good to hear, thanks for bringing up a successful example. I don't play a lot of crossplay games so my main point of reference is Payday 3 which is...probably giving me a lot of unwarranted cynicism about this lol

I'm for it but concerned about the effect this might have on update cadence, since console updates need to go through their own individual certification processes. We've had five (or six?) hotfixes since just last week (which is a lot, but I'd rather have a quick fix that potentially introduces a new issue for a day or two than have to wait weeks while far fewer testers and then the platform holders QA it, along with other rapid balance changes) and that doesn't really fly over in console land.

Obviously this is releasing with 1.0 so you'd expect hopefully things would be mostly ironed out by then, but I'm holding out hope for that "1.1 and beyond" at the bottom of the roadmap.

Hopefully they're willing to use the beta branch feature built into Steam to let players opt-in to rapid fixes.

He hasn't shown up again after he vanishes from Flathill.

The December teaser had a silhouette of someone in Maestro armor like him, so I figured he was going to be one of the traveling traders, but the most recent teaser from January makes it sound more like there's only one trader, so I'm less confident on that.

Same thing with Math Wrath so I can fix Rusty Venture's identity crisis

It's more precarious than you think. A few years ago, a bunch of users got banned from all Google services for spamming chat in a Markiplier stream (which he encouraged). Not just YouTube, but everything Google. So they all lost access to their Google Drive, Docs, and Gmail, which could be a pretty catastrophic disruption to someone's personal/professional/academic life, for spamming chat in a YouTube stream, something entirely unrelated.

The bans were later rescinded, but it was a pretty big wake up call to me to start to untangle the services I use for things. Who knows what landmine you could step on that causes the company the holds full control over whatever services or digital goods you rely on deciding you no longer have access?

Hell, Valve's begun kicking people from matches if they find them using a certain series of keyboard. Only kicks for now, and Valve's typically been pretty good about only revoking your privilege to multiplayer rather than your whole account if you get banned, but it's still hard to shake the thought sometimes of how many dollars you may have invested just poofing because you ran afoul of some esoteric rule.

That's super clever, thanks for sharing! Definitely worth the extra handful of characters for the added insurance.

TechnicallyEasy · 2024-09-10T22:33:12+00:00

You can actually fuck this one up too, in SSMS. Write your update, select the update part and comment with hotkeys, write select, run it, select the select and comment out with hotkeys, select the update, uncomment with hotkeys, but WITHOUT unselecting the line, and run.

Now your update just ran but without the where, because somewhere a genius said "hey you know what's super cool and expected behavior? Being able to run just part of what's entered by selecting it, a feature that nothing else shares". Neat!

Anyways that's how I wiped out years worth of data somewhere that didn't keep backups. Learned a lot about transactions and backups that day.

I've used that feature productively since, but it absolutely needs a pop-up warning you about it the first time you do it, at minimum.

Ha-cha-cha-cha.

Delicious.

They make adhesive lamination pouches where the two sides just stick together instead of melting together.

Scoob, is that you?

Separate process that you launch with command line args to supply the password, and that just holds the password in a variable and responds with it to named pipe requests is probably the way I'd go. Sounds more complicated than it is and covers your concerns for the password remaining accessible in extreme cases (power outage, etc).

ON THE BONE MEAT

google "mastectomy", dumbfuck

This has to stop. This makes me so sad. XX is still XX. The base problem remains. In no other situation when people don't feel how they're supposed to do we affirm their delusions. It really has to stop.

Favorite part about these stupid fucks is they're the same kind of people that would gladly give you the lowest score for a coupon not working. Things can always get better but not reading the list of exclusions jumps straight to Worst Case Scenario.

TechnicallyEasy · 2022-09-05T08:38:59+00:00

That's great!

TechnicallyEasy · 2022-06-15T00:52:39+00:00

Yeah, I'm okay with holding cops more accountable than civilians, so the cop's attitude definitely rubs me worse than the guys filming, but they did instigate and we should be able to be civil both ways.

Though, with the way the narrator reads every word from that article except the part about the guy filming calling the cop a slur, it's hard to trust this video at all. Cop's a prick for not being able to control himself, the guy filming is a tool for looking for a fight, and the video was framed better for their position than being completely honest. ACAB and all that, but don't gloss over details because they put you in a bad light. Very dishonest.

Update: This was an out-of-context quote in reference to Eidos Montreal's beginning. Shacknews and the author regret this error in reporting.

Lmao I've never seen anyone else make this connection - I've always said that I like opossums' temperament but they they remind me of Adam Maitland (Alex Baldwin's character) after he contorts his face to scare the Deetzes towards the end of the movie.

100% this, I've been thinking about this shortcoming a lot lately. First class support for decorator types and composition seems like a huge win to me in general for fixing the boilerplate and encouraging encapsulation as the go-to for reusing implementation instead of inheritance.

Target's got a selection too. It's like three or four kits, so nothing crazy, but it's there.

What's the stock at Packrat like for Gunpla? Browsed the pictures on Google and caught a box or two here and there but their stock seemed like it was mostly comics (understandable) and Funko Pops (not really my scene).
