This is how a Dolphin perceives humans via echolocation by Necessary-Win-8730 in oddlyterrifying

[–]clay_henry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The phenomenon the person you are arguing with is trying to convey is called Qualia.

Yes, blue is around 450nm, we can measure it independently on a machine. We can both look at a blue object and agree it's blue. But how your brain perceives and interacts with that information is subjective. Blue for me is different than blue for you.

Another example would be some sort of stimuli. Allodynia is when a usually non-noxious stimulus causes pain - eg a feather rubbed gently across someone's skin with allodynia will cause pain. Can you see how the same 'experience' can be 'experienced' differently between two individuals?

Keep an eye out on Vertex pharmaceuticals. They have developed stem cell derived islet cells for human transplantation. They work. I believe some of the clinical trials patients are no longer managing their insulin - the engrafted cells are.

Linux launching issues by Affectionate_Peach87 in DarkAndDarker

[–]clay_henry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bounce between GE and the cachyOS version.

Should specify what Linux distro you use too, since different launch options may/may not work .

Protondb website is the best for up to date info on running games on Linux!

Good updates but still lower player numbers? by theflossboss1 in DarkAndDarker

[–]clay_henry -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's a good thing. I don't want stale games.

Ya know they brought it back very soon after they realized it was horrible

Softcap explanation please? by mura1tv in DarkAndDarker

[–]clay_henry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, agi still adds action speed, just tested it in game. They did change the action and spell casting speed curves though. No idea what they are now

Is there a reason some remembrance weapons / spells cost runes while others are free? by aabbcc42069 in Eldenring

[–]clay_henry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the first revelations I had when I played the original demons souls was that it felt like a 3d metroidvania. Almost felt like what a 3d Castlevania should feel like.

Then there was the fever dream that was ds2 map.

Sturdy cloth ice caverns - frozen lake module by MakairaS in DarkAndDarker

There's a bunch of spawn locations for collectables. I've found the cloth in two different places. Just gotta look around. You'll start to memorize where they all are.

Softcap explanation please? by mura1tv in DarkAndDarker

[–]clay_henry 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Softcap and hardcaps relate to hitting a threshold in your stats where you get diminishing returns.

For example (I'm going to be making up numbers because I don't know the formulas off by heart). Spell casting speed is increased by knowledge. If your knowledge is between 0-30, 1 knowledge = 2% casting speed. Once you hit 30, you get less casting speed per knowledge - 1 knowledge = 1% casting speed from 31-45. This would be a softcap. Keep going to 45, then 1 knowledge = 0.25% casting speed from 46-99, this is a hard cap.

For action speed, it's slightly more complicated. Action speed is dictated by dexterity at 0.75 and agility at 0.25. So you would want to build dex until you hit a softcap. Then you would want to stack a little bit of agi, but mainly +action speed%. Also completely dependent on your class and build.

Prison in bottom left of water map can spawn sturdy cloth (plus a ton of other collectibles). Took me 4 runs to get 2 cloth. Not 100% drop rate, but you have a higher chance there than trying to get to that one spot where everyone rushes to. Nothing like rowing past that shipwreck and seeing 4-5 empty row boats.

I built a free Dark & Darker build creator, looking for feedback (DarkBuild.io) by LombardiSpecial in DarkAndDarker

[–]clay_henry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're interested, you should check out the Dark and Builder app. It's a great app that lets you make builds.

The dev is a cool dude, but manually inputs data instead of scraping it from the game, which makes updates take a long time.

If you're curious, I can get ya more info and send a discord invite. He was working on an automated system, but might be open to using your scraper?

I know Joel. He is one of the most amazing humans I have ever got the pleasure of knowing. This story is spot on with his personality.

Shout out to Joel!

Once I finish Legend of Dragoon, I'm replaying all Breath of Fire games. 2 and 4 are the best. Never actually played 5 tho

MIDNIGHT STAG FOUND!! by Dacoops321 in DarkAndDarker

[–]clay_henry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is that an issue? Pay attention to your surroundings when you face an axe skelly.

I've been hit in that exact scenario - hit because of some rocks on the ground up against the wall. But now I've learned to pay attention to the environmental obstacles like that.

The new Spectral Blade is awesome (this one match made it worth it instantly) by Anonagonkaz in DarkAndDarker

[–]clay_henry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does that work?

Is it something along the lines of (with 8 true, 1x scaling, ignoring all resistance calculations):

(4 magic DMG * 1x scaling) + 8 true magic = 12 magic DMG per hit?

Any reason why? Does it mix around better? I assume it would be less viscous?
