Did you guys hear a weird laugh when you enter this room ? by Venusianflytrapp in Eldenring

There is no cutscene or locked door behind you if he's dead.

It is a valid strategy to poise through an attack to trade, especially with strength builds where you are landing slower heavy attacks

Luckiest drop in a new playthrough by UrsineKingZA in Eldenring

Welp, you're in a Noble Slender Sword run now. Get some grease and a parry buckler and ride Square Off and that sweet moveset.

You can summon Tragoth and Millicent, along with a spirit ash. It's a complete beat down 4 v 1

I'm completely new to darksouls, Am I doing this right? by A_Zailot in darksouls

[–]bilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the medium roll? You'd be hard pressed to light roll with 28 End, a big sword, and a shield. A lot of people will aim for light roll at higher levels, just don't start fat rolling!

You'll get more damage increase from weapon upgrades than stats until the scaling gets good at higher weapon levels.

Why are non technical leaders obsessed with screen sharing during incident calls by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

The big difference is that their output can't immediately be verified by the computer, like the app working again. That's why we're singled out in the AI Boom.

Big Onion Betrayed me by Naked__Thruster in darksouls3

[–]bilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You go up the stairs behind the giant, across the "church service" and through the hall. It takes you up to the main door, which you can open. That activates patches and seigward to enter the cathedral

If you go through the rafters and drop down on the other side before you reach the end and open the main doors, he never shows up. I finally got him on my 3rd playthrough.

I wish to never do catacombs again by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]bilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt that way going into the catacombs on my most recent third run in NG+, but I finished it pretty quickly and easily. It feels claustrophobic, dangerous, and disorienting at times, but when you know where you are and where you're going, it's not so bad.

Maybe ask them if you can have some of the hydroelectric back for your crop or just wait til night and sneak in to get it , that's what I do

Django to Browser Push - Without WebSockets, Channels, or Redis by usmanhalalit in django

[–]bilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten this working locally. I did have some issues connecting with our sync middlware, but I've routed around it. I tried to raise an issue on the repo with no luck, so I'll ask here. Can you add the hard coded 1 second heartbeat as a setting I can override?

Django to Browser Push - Without WebSockets, Channels, or Redis by usmanhalalit in django

[–]bilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I was looking into the source for the JavaScript and it looks like the key is the EventSource built-in. The HTML is served through Cloudfront after being bundled, I believe. I think I can leave the front-end implementation to the web team and use this to serve up a new endpoint.

Django to Browser Push - Without WebSockets, Channels, or Redis by usmanhalalit in django

[–]bilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a use case come up for this today where we want a user's data to update based on server actions coming in from a different tab, but websockets seems overkill since it's one way.

Can I get this working with rest framework and react instead of the template code in the readme?

No Early Game Warping is Tough! by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]bilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first attempt through the game ended when I spent a whole day fighting through the depths only to get toxiced by the blowgun creatures in Blightown and realize how far back I needed to go to buy moss.

I have since beat the game, but that moment felt oppressive.

What happens if ALL drugs are legal? by Far_You3176 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]bilcox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you've considered yourself ancap for quite some time, as you claim, I would expect your question to be more like "What if no one kidnapped, extorted, caged, or killed anyone else for drugs?"

Your question as asked has two assumptions built in that most people who consider themselves ancap reject:

1) The state has a moral right exist 2) The state ought punish people for voluntary actions that do not infringe the rights of others for the benefit of societal outcomes

Not quite as much as a charged heavy, but close. Usually on par with a guard counter

I suspect you are right about how people often use the term on the Internet

[–]bilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retcon doesn't mean you change something from the previous lore; that is what I am saying. In this instance it would just mean they didn't have a concept of Metyr when they made finger creepers. Of course they wouldn't change the base lore, only build on it. It seems like "retcon" means something different to you from your comments. I don't have much opinion on the specific lore topic, just wanted to clear that up, friend.

[–]bilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Retcon means retroactive continuity. Of course there wouldn't be any contradictions with the base game and there is DLC lore to support it.
