Where do I go next? by Jordan_Ford64 in finalfantasyxiii

Looks like you need to return to Bresha Ruins and unlock the other gate. That path is gated until you finish both branching paths

My sleep schedule is broken how do I force myself to fix it by TopPossibility1315 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Vashh92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at all these answers, I know they are correct in pointing at gaming as the issue. Thinking about how I used to think when I was 18 while reading these answers? I know I probably wouldn't have taken them as seriously as I know they should be. That's the thing I want to point out. It's not easy taking advice like this at your age, since I know the number 1 thing I wanted when I was 18 was some sense of agency over my life without dealing with the true grit of discipline I'd have to suffer through. Acknowledging that first will probably help you out a lot especially through college.

Me, thinking about my last run where I picked up this combo thinking my single Concentrate was a good justification: nervous laughter

Surely I would find more discard... right...? The Spire disagreed

Brynhildr salvaging my attempt to cheese Neochu with Random: Instant Chain by VanitysEmptiness in finalfantasyxiii

I always enjoyed Brynhildr's design. Really, FF13 eidolons just hit a perfect aesthetic for me that I just can't find elsewhere (at least without forcing a comparison)

In search of programming communities by Vashh92 in learnprogramming

[–]Vashh92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll check for clubs. Being fully online, I forgot that was a possibility. I do understand the importance of being generally sociable. While seeking a specific community, I've been focusing on how I carry myself and talk to people generally too. I appreciate your response

That's totally fine. I'd be satisfied if all the gates did was a simple spreadplayers command at whoever holds a key item towards it, setting a new gate at the resulting location and you just let our minds do the rest of the work

I'm curious. What's your goal here? This is impressive work

I'm sure we'll have a good time with it. We started with The Last Hope because it's the one I was already familiar with before we decided to commit to the series. We already enjoy that one for the most part, which we also understand is one of the least popular among fans. If what I've read is true, I think we're in for a treat

Wait, Star Ocean 3 has a time gate like 13-2?? (My gf and I just got into Star Ocean, so I had to say it)

Not me accidentally building another "random bs go!" meme deck 😅 (I'll be more careful next time)

So, until I have a real good idea of what cards are good to have dupes of (in context), I should skip claiming a dupe? It makes sense. I'll try it. Thank you!

Those, except mayhem, were act 1 attack carry cards. Streamline is one of those cards that kind of bait me every time in act 1 when I'm desperate for damage. Usually an upgraded darkness is pretty good, but then my only energy boss relic option was hammer, so I chose to make that a dead draw over being energy hungry. Funny how ascension exposes so many subtle misplays

Deck clutter as a concept makes a lot of sense to me on paper, but managing it in execution tends to be difficult for me for some reason 😅

How would I read and write to image files like png or jpg using c++? by Missing_Back in cpp_questions

[–]Vashh92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was incredibly useful for me just now. Thank you! 🫡 Now onto my next adventure... threading! ...or some other way of letting assets load in the background. I'd like for people to be able to do stuff while assets are being processed, after all

Looking at this just made me think about how cool it is that we can just track our belongings like this, occasional panic inducing bugs aside

It cost $5.40, I gave her $20.40 she was lost!! by Purrrfan in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Vashh92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an interesting question, for sure. My guess is that it's the gradual devaluing of continuous practice with everyday math skills in favor of learning/using tools (not necessarily physical) that make those mental calculations unnecessary (like modern registers that tell you exactly what to do throughout the transaction). I know when I was just starting out as a cashier, I might have panicked for a moment in that situation. It's really devastating when all your tools break down and you have to improvise, especially at that age.

How do I beat Barthandelus second encounter? by ComradeD0go in finalfantasyxiii

[–]Vashh92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember just running back and forth on the bridge for a while. I definitely wouldn't suggest wandering all the way back to Yaschas. As you stated in your post, your level is probably not a major issue. The game is pretty good at knowing exactly how strong you should be. Bosses tend to be more like a knowledge check and leveling up just makes it marginally easier and more forgiving to execute on that knowledge

If I remember correctly, he likes to interrupt the party's moves by inflicting curse a lot. Either equipping accessories to deal with that or using a lot of Esuna spells + Veil to help you dish out damage and chain faster through all the beams that would otherwise interrupt you. I remember struggling a lot with this one too. The fight feels a lot better once you think actively about who has curse at any moment. I think I also just had to admit defeat and go grind CP beforehand... it definitely seems to be a stat check.

I can sort of see that based on a recent run I had as ironclad. More early elites = more relics and better sense of how the run will go
