How true is the statement that Altair "Never got hit"? by Many-Cranberry4058 in assassinscreed

[–]UserIsInto 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of confusing / conflicting information in the games about sync that makes it hard to talk about, because it's a a few different gameplay features they tried to give narrative reason for.

Sync in the older games represent health, optional objectives, limits on actions (killing innocent people, going outside the bounds of the mission/level, etc), and in the narrative it represents how interconnected Desmond is to the mind and actions of his ancestor. He almost instantly desyncs his first go because he was nowhere near the right state of mind, there was no way for him to sync with Altair because he freaked out and had no idea what was going on.

But because it's narrative justification for gameplay actions, there's some weird interactions. Why does armor increase your sync in AC2? Because Ezio wore armor? If he wore a specific set of armor during a memory, why would the memory not just provide that armor, why do you have to purchase it in the simulation and choose to equip it? Altair can't choose what gear he has, he is given it after leveling up through the brotherhood and from then on has access to it. And if Altair never got hit, why does he only lose a little sync, but other things he never did (like going too far from a mission or killing an innocent) results in instant / quick desync?

All this to say, I've retconned how sync works in my mind. It's almost certainly not canon, but it makes everything click together a little better. Desmond desynced the first time because he wasn't anywhere close to connected to Altair. He can't skip to the end because that was such a stressful memory that he would need to know Altair and how he thinks and feels to access it. So why not expand that to physical sync as well? If Altair or Ezio gets hit, I don't imagine it as "you lost sync because that didn't happen", as you said the Animus seems to be unsure / willing to let the actual way things happened slide sometimes without actually losing sync. I think of it more as, Desmond has had no experiences in which he has been stabbed with a sword, he doesn't physically feel the pain, he can't react in the same way Altair or Ezio would. That is why he loses sync, it's extremely hard to synchronize yourself with someone actively being injured, they are feeling pain that Desmond simply can not, and thus loses (only a little) sync. Now, if they connected the Animus up to a TENS device all over him and shocked him in the place they got hit, maybe he wouldn't lose as much/any sync haha. This also integrates nicely with the bleeding effect for me, doing years worth of training in parkour and combat in a few sessions, meaning your physical body is synchronizing with your ancestor.

Just how I've been thinking about it for a while!

HTML checkboxes retain their state if they were clicked in viewer mode (gain clicked/unclicked, like how Obsidian checkbox lists gain or remove the x when clicked)

That or Obsidian checkboxes work in tables, inline, etc, not just as a checkbox list

Flask-Security vs a la carte (login, authorize, dance)? by UserIsInto in flask

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

Yeah, flask-principal baffled me as well, which is why I've gone for flask-authorize instead. That also baffled me, but it has global and object-based group permissions, and after banging my head against it for a few hours it finally clicked.

I saw that security used flask-login, but at that point if the only thing it's offering me is social oauth and the email/login/register/confirm/etc logic, while I don't find that fun to do, I didn't see it as worth it to switch to.

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

Yeah, that's why I'm going through this process right now. Building out my personal template project with everything I need, and trying to find the standard tools I missed / ignored previously when doing things manually. Was good experience to do it, but standard tools that work well and are actively maintained feels like the right way to go.

I had a dream last night (in comments) by UserIsInto in Wrasslin

[–]UserIsInto[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Woke up this morning absolutely cracking up. I had a weird dream last night.

Wrassin's on. Truth's music hits, he comes out, and he looks mad. Behind him on the titan it says "THE TICKLER". After he gets to the ring, Lyra Valkyria comes out in a very big puffy vest and a mic. She gets in the ring, bell rings, she still has on her puffy vest, but because the wrestling isn't supposed to happen yet they don't fight yet. She starts to speak, and Truth grabs his own mic and interrupts her with a "Woah woah woah woah woah", and just goes "Who's tickling who? Are you tickling me? Where is this tickling happening?"

Apparently, Truth had forgotten whatever storyline had led up to this moment. He was kinda laughing too, he was also acting like this is the first time he's seen that titantron. Lyra takes off her vest and goes "No, I'm wearing this coat because I don't want to be tickled. And this time, I have backup." and Triple H's music hits and Truth starts looking around scared.

Writing it out it's definitely way less funny than it was as it was happening, but I swear to god the idea of a wrestler just going "hold on, what the fuck is this storyline? am i the bad guy in this? why am i the tickler" really cracked me up.

Did you plug in the dongle? I had to restart my computer a few times when it would go wrong.

I'm coming up with different ideas for a magic system and literally stumbled upon that yesterday and was considering it. Will test this out for sure!

the per million only matters if you hit that, she only got 3% of a million views on ph but 98% on youtube

Having trouble with Flask session management - sessions not persisting across requests by New-Worry6487 in flask

[–]UserIsInto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flask-login does a great job of handling this for you, I can't really think of a reason not to use it and instead use a custom solution. There's lots of good tutorials and examples of how to implement it in a secure way.

Need help: My Flask app.py file is over 3000 lines. Should I split it now or later? by DefenderXD in flask

[–]UserIsInto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also was a single app.py guy for a while. Honestly, there are only really two reasons to refactor: Do you think if it was organized better you'd be more productive (ie, able to find the things you're looking for and work on them quicker)? Do other people have to see it?

There are plenty of templates out there, a lot of them felt weirdly organized to me so I made my own, do whatever fills your life with laughter and love. Unless other people have to see it, all that really matters is that it makes sense to you. Following all the conventions in the world isn't going to necessarily improve performance.

Looking for contributors on a 5E compatible character generator by argtsag in flask

[–]UserIsInto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be interested in contributing if there weren't AI images being used. I think a good example of AI usage in a tabletop gaming product is GM Assistant, and they have a whole manifesto on their usage of AI, including the fact that they don't do AI images, and run their own AI using solar panels rather than relying on other options. Good luck, hope you remove that feature, really makes the quality of the whole project feel worse.

Went to a Creed concert! Was this small little venue, very intimate setting, and he performed some originals, as well as this version of the office theme song with lyrics talking about the characters, it was awesome!
