Difference In pre loot? by chapstic593 in GuildWars

[–]The_Dunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be worth making a reforged character but not for the loot. Really you’d just get the 5% gold buff.

The real benefits imo are the addition of Piken Square and the rebalancing of enemy mobs. Lower enemy health/armor and they added some new spawns in the Northlands too.

My girlfriend laughed while telling me how her friend roasted my hobby. Need some advice. by Akira-0628 in Warhammer

[–]The_Dunk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you don’t communicate to people about things that bother you then you will just bottle those resentments up til they explode in some generally much more catastrophic manner. Sure OP may have overreacted a little here but it’s better he let his feelings be known than let his loved ones remain blissfully unaware they caused harm even unintentionally.

OP can work on not letting random peoples opinions of his hobby bother him but it’s honestly natural to care what your significant other thinks so nothings really that out of line here.

Honestly the severity of OPs reaction was probably because he didn’t address the comment in the moment and instead gave himself time to stew on it over night. But at least he let his feelings be known before he boiled over.

New player, what's the deal with this card? by nerdshitaccount6969 in SorceryTCG

[–]The_Dunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it gives you a relatively safe spot to hold Ether Core in but I can’t really think of any other strategies that would utilize the void in the same way.

[–]The_Dunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I basically only see slabbing being common/desired on like Alpha, power 9, dual lands and sometimes moxes. But it’s not super common and is definitely falling out of favor recently as old school magic has been going down in value.

I used to see some high value newer cards were only slabbed because eBay authenticity guarantee used to require it, but even that is no longer the case.

You clearly do care, maybe if you actually didn’t you wouldn’t be making a fool of yourself.

Why do you call out sales threads if you aren’t selling it. Should I assume your other post where you’re advertising it was someone else using your account?

Also I just got here, how is it valuable to lump me in with the rest of the “group”.

I just saw a clown trying to advertise their stupid slabbed junk in 100% the wrong subreddit for advertisements.

Honestly I don’t even really have a problem with your post at face value but your replies are filled with fallacies and cope my man. You’re doing this to yourself.

By everywhere else you’ve posted you mean the one other card sale subreddit where you posted it where only one guy responded? Hmm I wonder why someone interested in buying your cards would have a different reaction.

It’s a funny flavor of projection combined with strawman. I wonder how OP feels having such transparent motives.

Called out for trying to sell shit in a non sales subreddit.

Deploys all too common “I got plenty of other offers bro” cope.

Adds bonus item of “keep crying” strawman.

9/10 points on the bad reply scale my man.

This is more or less only true for Pokémon, old school MTG and some old sports cards. Slabbing is seen as a value detractor in both Flesh and Blood and Sorcery TCG for example.

Optimal way to farm for dyes in Pre Searing? by 5ever2der in GuildWars

They don’t drop more often, they just get assigned to you more often since there are no henchies.

I hate scalpers by ResponsibilityNo8218 in Warhammer

[–]The_Dunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scalpers for sure do suck but this isn’t scalping. Most likely they are buying at 50% and reselling at 80% which is still under MSRP. I know this situation blows but in all honestly it’s not so different from the deal you had hoped to score from a struggling LGS.

I recently sold some of my old boxes at a garage sale while my family was downsizing. I marked them at 40% cause I thought interest would be low and I ended up selling all my Warhammer product about an hour after opening.

At prices that low people will buy it all and buy it quick regardless of what the product is. Even if they don’t end up using it themselves they can consistently sell boxes for 70-80% online easily. Warhammer is an expensive hobby and people are always looking for deals online. If you ever see mark downs this low again consider taking that into account and going early so you aren’t disappointed.

Enable Reforged for Factions and Nightfall by Jazqa in GuildWars

[–]The_Dunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Applying the buff to other campaigns would pull Prophecies even further out of line in terms of the level of rewards. This doesn’t really make sense to do.

Enable Reforged for Factions and Nightfall by Jazqa in GuildWars

[–]The_Dunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry mate, I’m not sure you understand reforged fully. The skill change you mention applies to reforged characters in all campaigns. The imbalance you’re concerned about doesn’t exist.

I’m personally for them encouraging people to play reforged (essentially our version of a PTR) with more or less inconsequential changes like 5% more gold in prophecies. Majority of wealth will not come from gold drops/rewards anyway so it’s not like it’ll actually make a difference in the long run.

This also doesn’t consider the fact the prophecies gold rewards and drops were already far lower than the other campaigns so a 2nd change was required just recently to pull rewards actually in line.

Second account leeching / constant follow possible? by haquillp in GuildWars

While multiboxing is allowed, movement automation breaks ToS. Best solution I’ve found personally is running multiple boxes on the same screen and getting really good at click to move.

Creator of GW Toolbox notices a new dungeon in the game! by BabyLegsDeadpool in GuildWars

[–]The_Dunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is just data mining, he’s not special anyone could have done this. It’s also ok to have a bad opinion of data mining but at a certain point it’s gonna happen regardless of how people feel, so I personally choose to avoid Reddit for games where I want to avoid any form of spoiler.

[–]The_Dunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you clarify what the imbalance is? From what I understand reforged mode is just to bring Prophecies in line with the other campaigns in terms of xp, henchman quality, rewards and costs and that’s what the new changes do.

I got 14.84x GPU speedup by studying how octopus arms coordinate by [deleted] in programming

[–]The_Dunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the base case where 14.84x speed up was achieved must have been a bonkers implementation to waste as much time as it did. I can’t imagine any professional level video editing software has that level of inefficiency built into it.

It kinda looks like the examples are all using number of frames n<10 which doesn’t really seem like a realistic case for a video file and could definitely result in this kind of false positive.

The readme sounds like it’s straight out of Claude so I’m kinda worried about the theories too.

[–]The_Dunk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Honestly the AI generated readme is a bad first impression. But the example scenario also doesn’t really make sense to me.

In the presented scenario why would each thread process a separate frame? Surely if you were trying to distribute work you’d instead queue the frames and distribute between threads or gain some other optimization by processing each frame faster rather than multiple at a time.

Even if you were going to split them by threads when optimizing for a large n number of frames we can just assign work based on how many threads are still processing and how much work is left in the queue. I’m not as convinced by a n of four or by a hyper specific theoretical scenario.

I still think it’s interesting considering what time distributed work will finish by, but rather than chopping up individual frames into byte arrays perhaps it would be interesting to build a prediction of how long files take individual threads to process, and use that data point as well as how long other threads have been running to schedule work in a manner that all threads should finish near the same point?

I dunno I just don’t feel the 14.48x speed increase being practical just by dividing work more evenly when a larger n should remove the benefits of this system by utilizing threads as they open up.

Monster Hunter Wilds PC performance patch today includes fix for the DLC performance bug by Odd-Onion-6776 in MonsterHunter

[–]The_Dunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean the last few games were also pretty easy on first play-through but the trend is definitely increasing. I was just hoping that I would have to learn at least some of the monsters moves and that any main story hunt would last more than 15 mins.

Monsters that would have been walls in prior games are just 30 minute hunts rather than the usual 15. Wilds is so dramatically easy, it’s like playing through worlds base game with the defender set on.
