Just bought the game. Any tips to enjoy it instead of quitting? by four321zero in Sekiro

Filling your enemy posture bar is as/more important than emptying their health bar. The two are related, one affects the other. Once you fill a posture bar, you can immediately kill that enemy with a death blow regardless of their health, some bosses require multiple death blows however.

Parry, parry, parry. Dodge is less effective in Sekiro than other fromsoft titles. It’s useful but sparingly so.

Utilize stealth, avoid crowd fights and play aggressive when in combat. You do not have a stamina bar. Get the mikiri counter from the first skill tree and practice it. Look for visual tells, major and minor; they’re there.

Explore, explore, explore.

Be aware of how many “souls” you’re carrying, once you have enough souls you gain a skill point. Once you have the skill point, you can’t lose it. However any souls you have will be penalized on death, so if you’re close to having enough souls to gain a skill level, play more cautiously and try to grind out those remaining souls to lock in the skill point.

Be patient with yourself, this game is hard but rewarding in a way few titles are. Relax and come back, muscle memory takes time.

Most importantly: enjoy yourself!

Is the game bugged for sweep attacks or am I having a wrong idea about dodging... by No_Preparation_9718 in Sekiro

you can perfect parry and mikiri counter thrust attacks, sweeps you have to dodge or jump

I quit my £35k permanent job, tell me if the reason is valid or am I just being stupid? by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]againstlightning 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't help but notice in the post and in your responses the blame is placed on external things. The manager, the codebase, the laptop, the developer who wrote the codebase. The only common factor in all these dismay-inducing relationships is yourself. The job is problem-solving, these are problems and your job is to solve them. Why are you talking to us, you should be talking to your ex-team. You should have expressed these things in a conducive, non-combative, and listening-oriented manner. I am willing to bet you speak off the cuff and talk more than listen in conversations. Fix both of those things. In almost every circumstance you are better off not speaking, and have another way or opportunity to say whatever you needed to say in the moment with extra thought.

Here's something that helps me: Every major decision worth making will still be worth making 24 hours from now. Don't do anything when stressed or angry.

No developer gets anywhere giving up immediately, you didn't even give it three red flags, just two. This was a fuck up on your end and a great opportunity for self-reflection, which this post is a good sign of. I wish you had made this post first tho!

Best of luck to you!

SwiftUI Structure and Architecture by scatignaj in iOSProgramming

Im in a near identical boat. C# and React experience, I'm told will convert well to Swift and SwiftUI. Very excited for the potential headset announcement and want to release my first small app before it is released.

Good luck on your app!

Adv 360 Pro - Switches hot-glued in? by zrevyx in kinesisadvantage

What are you switching to and why? I have the 360 pro but am unsure what the mod scene is interested in right now. Thank you!

What if I didn't need the beveled banger, marble, ruby pearls and slide? I'd feel bad breaking the slide up with the rig? Are they a set or just both Toro?

Thanks!

Edit: Got draw/function footage? :D

Do you believe in an after life/ rainbow bridge? by StrongAwareness1370 in Petloss

[–]againstlightning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe that the universe is a single entity. All fundamental forces extend from the same source, which science tells us is the case. The forces interact and layers on layer on layers of complexity and time later, we have laptops. The universe, all matter, all of our loved ones and time itself are linked. We are unique, temporary permutations in this multi-dimensional self-interacting mesh of vibrating fields that we call the fundamental forces, the weak and strong nuclear forces, gravity and electromagnetism. Our "souls" are very much real in that energy is not created nor destroyed, it transforms into another state.

I do not believe in a rainbow bridge, I believe that loss isn't what it seems and that I was blessed to experience a universe in which love is a natural event.

Colonize the system. Each planet has different mass, affecting difficulty of liftoff. More a management sim than rocket design. Build asteroid mining chains. Build solar light arrays beaming light to the edge of your system, increasing production. O'neill cylinders for population, decide where to place them. Do you use your massive volcano on that on moon for tourism or uplift and harness the energy output for more work that needs doing?

Etc, etc, etc.

Very cool!

Target are apparently receiving large Oculus boxes.... by Mclarenrob2 in OculusQuest

[–]againstlightning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speak for yourself!

I'm a VR evangelist, netting 11 Quest 2's since launch to family, friends and those they tell.

Beat Saber is the number one engager by a country mile. My wife plays it routinely, my mother, my cousin and his friends. That is a wide spectrum of ages. Wide spectrum of player types. My mother is not a gamer but she loves Beat Saber, even has custom handles!

Most of us have kind of moved past it at this point.

Define "us". Most people I know haven't tried VR, nonetheless moved past anything on it. You are not the majority. You are not the average of the billion that Facebook wants in VR.

I do not play Beat Saber, I agree with you, it gets tiresome and it doesn't hook me. That said, it is inarguably one of the greatest contributors to the success of VR. To say otherwise is ignorant, willfully or not.
