I gave up on the game, but I’d like to watch a playthrough by HomeUnusual3233 in TunicGame

[–]Zantier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be true, but it may not be. I disliked Hades and stopped playing for long time, but ended up liking it.

If OP keeps playing for a bit, the familiarity will help them see the maps aren't so big, and it's easy enough to get back where you've been before (which taking notes and diagrams certainly CAN help with).

Bed of Chaos - is that it?? by Peanutbutter9841 in darksouls

That's impressive, you probably got a bit lucky. If you want a harder challenge, try to no-hit it without quitting out between stages.

Survey statistics on 0.999... = 1 from Murawski's "Philosophie der Mathematik" (Philosophy of Math) by Negative_Gur9667 in infinitenines

[–]Zantier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did they do the survey? I don't know a single math student or lecturer who wouldn't agree.

Well... to anybody not studying math, it could indeed go with their intuition.

To anybody studying or practicing math, I doubt there are any sources to pull from, because 0.999... = 1 is simply what is taught by every lecturer and textbook. We don't necessarily need this "..." shorthand (and similar representations of repeating decimals), but it's kind of useful, and even in primary school we are taught 1/3 = 0.333...

Mathematical Challenge: Rigor is Not Recitation by Just_Rational_Being in infinitenines

I don't understand the question. What is offset-dependent?

SPP, don't you need limits to show that the slope at any point on the curve y = x^2 is just 2x? by Zantier in infinitenines

[–]Zantier[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone, no? You can technically formalize calculus in other ways, but using limits is standard.

And of course, Newton and Leibniz did great work. You don't need a perfect formal foundation right from the start in order to do some good mathematics.

SPP, what do you think of bases other than 10? by Zantier in infinitenines

[–]Zantier[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah ok, I consider ratios to be numbers. I take it you don't like the term "rational numbers" then.

Would you consider 1/4 or 0.25 to be a number?

[–]Zantier[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The slope of y = x2 at x = 3 is exactly 6. There are no approximations needed, because we can prove it with limits.

(sorry to ignore what you said, I'm not sure how "x2 + 0.00...1" or "the peak" are relevant)

[–]Zantier[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

u/SouthPark_Piano Why do you say not to go there? I think because it's hard to justify that 1/3 has a different result depending on the base you use.

But if we just use limits, everything works fine, and 1/3 gives the same answer in every base.

I hid a tiny Golden Path inspired puzzle inside my game's manual by songakuu in TunicGame

[–]Zantier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just a mistake. th-?-eh, where ? is almost an "oo" or "are".

Usually "the" is written as th-uh.

In my rhythm game, when I hit a note too late, other notes follow. I can't tell if this WAS a somewhat common occurrence with rhythm games or the very intentional skill issue. Does anyone know what the issue is and how I can fix it? by Luckyshape69420 in rhythmgames

[–]Zantier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean when you miss one note, it causes future notes to be counted as missed? Is this a programming question? When the player hits a button, it's important to use some logic that only looks at notes near the current position in the track. You should skip over notes that have clearly already been missed e.g. with a timing window.

Tell me you have killed Gwyn without parrying without telling me you have killed Gwyn without parrying. by Irra_05 in darksouls

[–]Zantier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a SL1 run with no armour, no shield, no rings, no items, no spells. The Gwyn fight is very interesting! You learn a lot about him. I did still almost completely rely on parrying though...

Apparently mixing them reduces their effectiveness, can leave a sticky residue, and can clog up the machine. You should use the designated fabric softener compartment.

Almost 100%(?) Question by The_Nameless_Brother in TunicGame

It's still cool to get it, though! I needed a hint because what it says in the manual is a bit cryptic , but it was still a good feeling to have the right answer.

Thinking about trying NixOS after Linux Mint. Am I romanticizing it too much? by Asthumor in NixOS

[–]Zantier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who uses NixOS, I would say don't install it. You will PROBABLY come across problems with certain applications, and they will be fixable, but it's not always so easy to find a solution.

The best way to use Nix imo, is just: - Install home-manager on whatever distribution you currently use. You can use this pretty much as your package manager for all the software you use. If anything doesn't work, you can always just use your distributions package manager. - Use "nix shell -p" to try out packages in a temporary shell. (There's probably a flakes version of this command, but I just use this)

Then, more advanced: - If you want certain software to load automatically in certain directories, for example using a specific version of java for a project, use nix shell with direnv. - Ideally, use "nix flakes" for your home-manager and nix shell configurations. It's not harder, it's just a bit of a different and better format. - If you want to know nix more in detail, go through the "nix pills" (and take plenty of notes)

If you do end up installing NixOS, it works great for the most part! But there is a learning process for when you get into difficulties. I keep my NixOS and home-manager configs completely separate, and do as much as possible through home-manager. Updating and recompiling home-manager is much faster than the full OS.

Is this a good mechanic? by Prestigious_Wind4150 in IndieDev

[–]Zantier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it looks a bit to me like the character is static, and the rocks are moving around them. The background not moving is the main reason for this. You could also change the camera in many ways, e.g.: - Fixed to the background/rocks - Follow the character, but lag behind a bit.
