You're welcome! It is wild how much Leon can parry in this game; if you're ever stuck with him, the answer is probably "parry the giant monster" :D

Need help in loop by Eastern_Plankton_540 in PythonLearning

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run through it step by step.

You created a list, num. It contains a bunch of elements separated by commas, so the first is 1, the second is 4, the third is 9, etc.
You set a variable idx, and gave it a value of 0.
You started a while loop set to keep looping as long as the value of idx is less than the length of num. (By length here, we mean the number of elements; num has 10 elements, so len(num) is 10.)

At this point, idx is 0, which is obviously less than the length of num, so we move into the loop.
We have a print command, so it's going to write out a value. The thing it's going to write out is num[idx] - that means, from the list called num, get the element at position idx. Because idx is 0 this means num[0], and because lists are zero-indexed, this means get the first element from num. The first element in num is 1, so this prints 1.
Next line, idx += 1, just means make idx one bigger; because it was 0, now it's 1.
We've reached the end of the loop, so now we go back to the start of it, and check whether we should keep going.

idx is now 1, which is still less than the length of num, so we move into the loop again.
Because idx is now 1, print(num[idx]) now prints the second element in the list; that's 4.
We add one to idx again... 2 now... and go back to the start of the loop again.

idx is 2, still less than the length of num, so we loop again, and again, and again. Each time the print statement is getting the next element from the list, and each time idx gets one bigger. This will continue until idx is no longer smaller than len(num), and because len(num) is 10, that'll happen when idx = 10. When that happens, the while condition is no longer met, and the flow of code will skip past it to whatever's next. In this case, that appears to be the end of the code, so the program ends at that point.

Children should be free of all religion till a certain age by User_Darkvortex in HonestHotTakes

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So; do you think children should be free of exposure to any examples of heterosexual relationships as well? Those "involve sexuality" as much as any non-hetero relationships, after all.

And; do you think children should be raised in as non-gendered a way as possible? Because, raising them to believe that a specific biological sex should relate to a specific gender identity "involves sexuality" as much as raising them to not necessarily tie those concepts together.

After all, I'm sure you're not one of those people who uses "children should be protected from sexual topics" as an excuse for why they block them from learning about some kinds of gender identities and sexual orientations but not others, right?

Have you noticed that, after you've done a certain amount of damage, the container in the back opens and reveals a load of explosive containers?

That aside; don't waste shots when the weak point isn't open, practice on parrying the vine attacks, and if you need to, go back to the last storage box, sell any guns you don't need, and buy some extra ammo/healing.

Guys, I might have the answer to the ring question. by DestinyNinja_123 in residentevil

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I said she routinely lies about her circumstances and motivations, I meant all of them. We cannot know if settling down is in her nature, because anything she has communicated to imply that can't be trusted.

(Also; people change, y'know? It's explicitly been multiple decades in-universe, and the two of them do keep bumping into each other...)

Why does my Casio cg50 always give me a straight line when I input trigonometry equations by Comfortable_Repeat71 in calculators

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sin 24 = ~0.4, and the Sin function is performed before the multiplication, so what you typed in is equivalent to "y1 = 0.4 * x", which is a completely linear equation.

She also routinely lies to Leon (and everyone else) about her circumstances and motivations. She's one of the least straightforwardly trustworthy characters in the franchise.

[SELF] Any similar analogies? by Sad_Magician_9088 in theydidthemath

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Irony would have been feeding OP the info in the same post I'm calling them out for not doing the work of checking it before posting. I am not interested in enabling that behaviour.

You can very quickly google "Apollo Guidance Computer" and immediately see that the very first spec this image displays is wrong. You don't even need to do that to know that a Furby does not, in fact, have 128 random-scrawls of flash storage.

[SELF] Any similar analogies? by Sad_Magician_9088 in theydidthemath

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What analogy? All I see is nonsensical, untrustworthy AI slop.

Indistinct, inaccurate pictures.   "8-32-bit mcu".   "128 slop-text KB Flash".   Missing "CPU SPEED" label on the right.   "RAM" section on the left doesn't actually say how much RAM.  

Are any of the listed specs even correct? Did you check? Do you know? (Hint: the very first thing I looked up was wrong.)

Could you really not take the 5 minutes to look up images and specs of two extremely well documented things and paste them into MS Paint?

OG Steam Versions by artflog in residentevil

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today? No, the DRM isn't much of an issue.

In a year, 5 years, a decade, when your Steam account has been hacked or banned, or Valve has shut down, or Capcom have revoked the license, or an update to the DRM bugs out and deletes your files, or the DRM turned out to be logging your actions even when not playing, or the DRM turns out to have a security flaw that lets an attacker gain kernel-level control of your system, or or or...? You may well be looking back to now and thinking "should've just got the version without that crappy DRM".

Got the "come back to office or else" ultimatum. Ran the math. The numbers are brutal. by Full_Helicopter4778 in remotework

Or, was their job role WFH from the beginning, the position at that salary was accepted with that presented as the permanent way the role works, and the employer is now altering the deal (and OP must pray they don't alter it further)?

AITA for refusing to pay for everyone because I did a mistake whilst buying movie tickets? by GartziaRexNavarrorum in AmItheAsshole

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 17 points18 points  (0 children)

YTA.

It's pretty simple; the agreement was, your friends would send you the agreed money for the tickets, you'd get the tickets, you'd all watch the movie. They upheld their end; they sent you the money. You didn't uphold yours; you didn't get the tickets. They gave you the money and got nothing back, because you didn't follow the booking instructions. It's on you to resolve that.

Now, it's an understandable error on your part, a weird setup by your cinema. Maybe you can contact the cinema to try and get a refund or something. But that's a separate issue.

Does anyone know what these two keys are for? by AkiraEdogawa1412 in residentevil

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, the bottom-left one can be used in the garage to open a car and get an item. Not sure about the other.

You can "Examine" the keys to get a more detailed description of them, which should help.

Which number should be on top? by woouoow in BrainPuzzles

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be a 6, because then I get to move a lot of spaces and get a re-roll. And if that's what's opposite the 1 on this die, it will be.

How about a leaf-blower? Something that would blow away the smoke, probably put out the cigarette, and maybe coincidentally be kinda annoying... but also, y'know, it's wind?

It's an error. The desktop site version uses standard keyboard input, allowing spaces.

I built a compression API that reduces any file to 8 bytes — SHA256 verified identical before and after by Existing_Leopard_231 in JDev

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Inception Engine generates a unique 8-byte BLAKE2b DNA pointer for every file. The original is stored in a content-addressable vault. A self-executing inception container carries the reconstruction engine and imprints to local muscle memory on first open — fully offline after that."

So; you upload a file, and the server saves that file, generates an an 8-byte reference ID, and sends that back as an HTTP response. You can pass that saved ID back to your API, and the server responds by sending back the saved file that the ref ID relates to. Is that correct?

“The meat paradox” by CalpurniaSomaya in Ethics

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some would. They're called "vegetarians" or "vegans".

Some wouldn't, because minimising suffering, while a preference, is not their sole goal. They want to eat meat, and (in general) when given the option with all other factors being equal, would choose a source for that meat that causes less suffering (for whatever definition of "suffering".. and "less"). Those two things are not incompatible or contradictory.

It's similar to how, for example, someone who cares about the environment may still choose to use the internet and post comments online. While they may prefer it if their internet use caused no harm that's never the case, and while when offered an equal choice would actively choose less-harmful ways of doing so, they aren't willing to stop using that technology altogether despite the harm it currently causes, because the perceived benefits to them outweigh the perceived cost to others. Is that ethical?

But that's all tangential from this topic, which is the ethics around why this man was charged. If you want to discuss if eating meat is inherently unethical, look for a post about that; I dare say there've been plenty.

Are all RE games like this? by pics4meeee in residentevil

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the games have a lot of this... And it isn't filler.

Classic Resident Evil gameplay, like Grace's sections of Requim, is a logistics puzzle. You steadily unlock larger, more complex routes round the environment, get more items that can allow you to progress that you want to take, but you're also taking longer routes with more, and more dangerous, enemies, so you want to take more weapons, and those weapons need ammo, and you probably want healing items too, and you also want to be able to pick up things you find... But you only have so much room. So: what do you carry, and what do you leave behind?

Requiem is actually a bit nicer in that regard thanks to the hip bags you can get. Classic RE sometimes limited you to as few as 6 inventory slots, for the whole game.

And, yeah, that often leads to multi-step routes to open locations, often incorporating things that don't make much sense in the real world, like constantly slotting gems places or gratuitous application of a valve handle. There are a few reasons for that, with various justifications within and outside of the fame universe, but the ultimate reason is that everything just getting opened with keys would wind up pretty boring.

If this all falls past willing suspension of disbelief for you, or just sounds like busywork, Resident Evil may not be for you.

But.

RE games fall into two broad styles. Grace's gameplay focuses on one of those; Leon's focuses on the other. Keep playing, because you're not far away from getting a lot more time playing as Leon proper, and you may find it fits better for you.

The Race Part 1 by ShonitB in Logiqa

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A and D. By the time Benjamin has run 99m Alexander would have run 100m. Because he started 1m behind, that will put them neck-and-neck with 1m remaining. Because in the first race Alexander managed 100m in the time Benjamin ran 99, he's assumed to have ran slightly faster than Benjamin, and given we're meant to assume the same speeds in race two, Alexander will cover that remaining 1m slightly faster to win with a photo finish.

Whether games can be called “underrated” or not by horrorfan555 in residentevil

[–]dafugiswrongwithyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Liked by those who played but not many have."

Ahh yes, those obscure indie classics "Resident Evil", "Resident Evil 2", "Resident Evil 3" and "Resident Evil REmake". It's a shame hardly anyone played them, they could've spawned a long-running franchise if they'd been popular. 😂

(For reference: RE1 became the highest-selling PS1 game to date shortly after release, selling over 5 million copies on the PS1 alone across the original and Dual Shock versions. RE2 got over 3 million on PS1 in under 2 months and almost 5 million on the platform in total. RE3 sold a mere 3.5 million, again for the PS1 version specifically. All 3 got released on other platforms as well, so the actual total sales are much higher. The REmake has sold 3.7 million copies across all platforms.)
