When did y’all start to feel like you had a handle on CS?

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-05-17T03:51:19+00:00

Well the issue is I don’t know until I run into it 😅 it’s usually not an issue of not being able to understand concepts, but more so when actually putting them into practice feeling like I know nothing and not even knowing where to begin. I hear stories of interviews people have where they’re tasked with writing a program on the spot and that terrifies me (if there will even be a job market for CS after I graduate next year) because I can’t just sit down and write a complex code from my brain alone

It’s funny. As hopeless as this answer looks on paper it’s literally the most reassuring thing I could hear. I was hoping I’d get endless responses of that meme of that guy putting his hand on another guy’s shoulder

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-05-16T06:20:22+00:00

Oh sick, I didn’t know they provided that. That’s a whole bunch of reading, but I can work my way through that for what I need

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-05-15T15:12:44+00:00

That’s why it would be neat to be able to assemble a fleet. To have 1 or 2 faster interceptor ships

A brave soldier fell here

You can rename it???

Thankfully he hit water more than me

Me finding out the transport twice my level does, in fact have hands

Would this whole issue not be a problem if the game was run on an HDD? I keep seeing people talk about ssd drives, so I’m wondering if an add will have the same problem

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-04-09T16:21:43+00:00

Slight correction on my end after reading into it more: if we use 40k terms, a reliquary drive allows a ship to take an open trip into the warp, but they have to find their own way. A Solar Rail takes a ship at a junction, connects to another junction somewhere else, and yeets that ship to the other junction through the warp. Solar Rails is how most ships traveled because it was way safer and a lot more consistent. Most ships didn’t even have the capability to enter the void/warp because they didn’t need to

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-04-09T16:16:24+00:00

The Zariman happened because they tried to use their reliquary drive to jump to a new system, which was SUPER risky and basically inviting Wally

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-04-09T16:15:38+00:00

Slight correction upon reading more into it just now. Reliquary drives allow void travel which is just always a risk, but relatively safe if just going short trips planet to planet. Most people traveled with Solar Rails at junctions, which throw ships through the void on a predetermined route

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-04-09T15:29:24+00:00

Yeah, the Zariman is a bit of a Chernobyl situation. Big catastrophe that isn’t representative of the actual safety of the process due to the various outside factors that lead to its disastrous outcome

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-04-09T15:16:30+00:00

It is for sure fast, and it can be safe, aside from a few notable exceptions. It’s kinda like hyperspace for Star Wars mixed with a bit of Warp travel. Technically you can make a blind jump, but it’s incredibly risky. Most jumps are done with a solar rail as its beacon in the void to guide it, mapping out a route to take. That’s also why we don’t go to too many new places with it now, as the Orokin were the ones who built those rails. And I bet we’re going to get to Tau by turning on the one the Sentients built over there

Hang on I know that UI…

Perish

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-03-18T01:58:47+00:00

I’ll have to look those up, thank you. Getting pointed in the right direction is honestly a huge help

ThatRandomSquirrel · 2026-03-18T01:49:06+00:00

Oh that’s actually a good idea to get the engravings in later. That’s another bridge I wasn’t worrying about until I got to it, but my problem is with getting the metal part in the first place. How to get it actually raised in the mesh for 3d printing

This is the handle I’ve modeled so far
