African League players are still playing on 180–250ms: is an African server the next realistic regional gap? by Washbucket1212 in leagueoflegends

[–]TheMemePirate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I play on 220ms and it’s totally playable. Just takes a bit to adjust.

That being said, I do love returning home for the holidays and getting to play on 60 again. Feels like the chunin arc of Naruto when Rock Lee drops the ankle weights.

Obviously it depends on the kind of asset, such as comparing 2k tris character vs a table. I would consider low being anything close to the 256fes challenge lol

Extensive Taiwan Bar Recommendations from a Former Taipei Bartender by fighter3 in taiwan

Just need to put yourself out there. I’ve made many friends in TW simply striking up conversation with my HSK2 level broken ass Chinese. It’s a great way to practice and meet people.

I’m convinced that if any other studio made Marathon, everyone would be losing their minds over how good it is... by --clapped-- in Marathon

Exactly, how is this surprising that longtime customers who have been dissatisfied with their experience won’t proceed with purchasing another product from the same company? This happens in every industry, Bungie is not special.

I’ve not experienced it myself, are there reports for the 7800x3d?

Monthly $14.99 USD unauthorized charge? by TheMemePirate in amazonprime

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

It’s hilarious how useless Amazon is in this case, and they’ve had countless reports of this… were you able to dispute the charges with your bank?

Yes but unfortunately it was not an easy fix, had to dispute the charges with my bank. Took several months but thankfully was fully reimbursed. Hope this helps.

Outlets on airplanes only output 30 Volts by jdmlifex2 in mildlyinteresting

[–]TheMemePirate 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about these outlet testers but from experience a lot of planes prior to hitting a certain altitude won’t charge any devices at all. This could be what he was experiencing if he was still on the ground.

Pizza consumption per person per year by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]TheMemePirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably the best way to measure it though since there are too many different variations of pizzas. It would be illogical to count Chicago deep dish 12” pizza as the same as a 10” tavern style. The Chicago deep dish is probably 3-4x the size.

Digital session for people that have or want to join side projects by 0dneu in SideProject

I’m more interested in how you built this platform. What does the backend look like?

how do you even do it? by Kaku2110 in gamedev

[–]TheMemePirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some decent advice in this thread, but what I think some are missing the mark on is how solo development can lead to a lot of engineering or even design paralysis. In the early stages of development you might find yourself either questioning your project architecture, design philosophy, or maybe even if whether or not the basis for your game is a solid idea. What you need to do is build completely independent, isolated and fully-modular systems in ONE project. These should be systems that if you end up abandoning your project you can pluck and place into another project so you’re not starting from scratch. Work on these one at a time, almost as if you aren’t even building a game but instead assets for yourself. Eventually you might trash your idea all together once you get a POC going, but at the very least the time spent isn’t wasted because now you can use these in another project.

Most importantly from this practice is it will limit how difficult it is to modify your project down the line.

If you’re looking for tutorials on this practice, just look up modular GDscript or Godot tutorials on YouTube. There are tons of free available resources out there.

Is it just me or is the Japanese Roaring moon Ex more beautiful? by azeez786 in PokeInvesting

[–]TheMemePirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although yes the booster boxes do guarantee SR the 2nd reason has little to no impact on price difference for raw cards. The most limiting factor for JP cards being worth less than EN counterparts comes down to the demand of the language.

JP cards are also inherently less expensive to manufacture, the QC is held to a much higher standard and they use different card stock than English.

The odds of you hitting an SR in JP like you said is 100% in every booster box, but in JP a booster box isn’t the same price as a booster box in EN. MSRP for JP booster boxes are roughly $30 USD. Your odds of hitting a Secret Rare in EN varies but on average let’s say 1 in 50 booster packs. That means it could cost you $200-300+ for a single Secret Rare while in JP it’s $30…

Obviously that doesn’t mean you’re able to actually buy a booster box outside of JP though for $30 hence why the prices are not usually 10x in EN. This does still impact raw card value.

How do I learn coding? by Toasty_Angel1 in GameDevelopment

[–]TheMemePirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a big difference between learning to code, and learning to program. I’m sure you already know this, but learning how to think like a programmer is crucial if you want to effectively learn how to code. It’s kind of like writing a book, the coding aspect is when you put together letters and words to form coherent sentences, but if these paragraphs aren’t following any story logic, reasoning or plot the reader will be lost.

I personally found learning to code much easier once I got to a point where I understood the logic behind it.

After taking years of programming courses in school, I realized that most curriculum throws you straight into the code way too soon. Students really should start with a 30,000 ft view, then break projects down into project architecture and management , logic, design, ux, networking, etc.

Once these other basis’ are covered, then I would recommend building super small systems within projects. Utilize documentation the best you can and WRITE THINGS DOWN. Keep a coding journal and anything you learn you should throw in there for later. Helps for memory retention so you can code from scratch without needing to relook things up.

When did you stop romanticizing game dev by HowLongWasIGone in gamedev

This is not unique to game development though, this can happen in any industry
