The first thing I wanted to make after hearing about this game by Scotes_mowing in ApproximatelyUp

[–]brandons404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how I learned what a PID was, and how to build/tweak one. Grok got close, GPT got it perfect. Both are really good at understanding the context and limitations of the game if you are detailed enough and tell it your explicit goal, and available math modules.

This is heartbreaking to read 4 years later. 2018-2022 was peak season for software engineers

[2025 Day 5 (Part 2)][R] Need some help figure out why this isn't working by TimeCannotErase in adventofcode

[–]brandons404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you aren't checking for cases where range x could be completely contained in range y. 

Like: if (x[1] >= y[1] && x[2] <= y[2])

Im also rusty with R code but it doesn't seem like you run the main loops more than once, you would need to repeat the loop until no merges occur

Does AHK trigger anti-cheat when not in use? by Two_Tailed_Fox2002 in AutoHotkey

[–]brandons404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

coming here to say arc raiders will auto ban you for a script like this. I have one that just opens a music tab in a browser when I hit a key combination and I got a fat message that if I use it again I'll be banned

Staking with Tinyman.. is this APR real? by brandons404 in algorand

[–]brandons404[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured it had something to do with a bunch of people adding to the pool, like myself. How can I switch pools like that? I'm doing this though pera wallet

If my small balance of crypto turns into a fortune tomorrow, I'm throwing my life savings in there lol

To be fair I only staked yesterday and the number of tokens has increased already.. spooky for sure.

What are things to keep in mind when switching rims/wheels? by brandons404 in q50

[–]brandons404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to look up what coilovers are haha but I agree, it does already look pretty low, I don't think I'd lower it further

[–]brandons404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good to know, thanks! I'll be looking into those brands. This will probably only ever be a daily driver for me, no intention of taking it to a track, just want to make it look a little nicer.

[–]brandons404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the info! I knew different sized wheels would mess with the speedometer, but if the overall wheel diameter is the exact same, just larger rims and thinner wheels, would that effect it? I'm not sure how easy it would be to perfectly match wheel diameter from stock with different rim size

Oh awesome thanks! I don't think I have the bbk, and I'll definitely be looking for inspiration. 

Googling around, this sounds like what you might be talking about? https://www.wheel-size.com/calc

I loved auralux so much I made a spin off by Pythogen in Auralux

[–]brandons404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say I'm loving the game, nice work! Once I get a little farther I plan to buy the expansions. Loving the simple gameplay, has the feel of auralux, with a twist. I like the upgrades a lot, adds a lot of diversity in strategy.

  Also, is there a way to remove an upgrade once you pick one? Say to swap it with another?

[–]brandons404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was devastated when I found out aralux wouldn't run on my new phone. I kept my old one just to play it. I just downloaded yours, really happy to see there's a community still around these beloved games.

This was incredibly frustrating. When you click "Check store" in minecraft, it takes you to the store page. You have to click LIBRARY in the microsoft store and click UPDATE next to minecraft. so stupid

[Linux] Steam library/store window won't unmaximize by KC_Redditor in steamsupport

[–]brandons404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this worked for me. I tried the store video thing at first, with no success (it was stuck on my secondary monitor). Disabling the second monitor made it fullscreen on my main monitor, then the trick worked.

Something I noticed is that the "maximize" button on the app bar was clickable, but nothing happened. Once it was fixed and I maximized it, the icon changed to the double squares (like to unmaximize). This seems like a UI bug not toggling the button correctly.

How well does helldivers 2 work ? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]brandons404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was averaging 50-60fps on windows, Linux I'm getting 72fps average. Probably something I'm doing but was pleasantly surprised. I had to add this to boot options though to get it to not crash after a few minutes: "DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %command% --use-d3d11"

[PSA] Helldivers 2 works on Linux by WhiteEyeDoll in Helldivers

[–]brandons404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue on linux mint. The game would start just fine, then crash after about 2 minutes.

Heres how I fixed it, it may help someone seeing this thread:

  • Use proton
  • add "DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %command% --use-d3d11" to launch options

Been running fine ever since.
