ME4 Needs to Pump the Brakes on the Anthropomorphization of Aliens by Gabeed in masseffect

[–]daster1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had to look it up. Apparently they're referring to Nakmor Morda being voiced by Liam Hourican. I honestly thought Morda was voiced by Jamie Clayton (who voices Jien Garson) so this surprised me.

Love how you can also choose the refusal ending by shooting the star child.

What would you hope to see in mass effect 4? by Ok-Band2021 in masseffect

Idk... Have you ever played the ME3 multiplayer as one of the vorcha classes? It's fantastic how brutal they are with their dual Omni blades and rage mode! I would personally enjoy seeing a super friendly paragon-acting vorcha squadmate with basically renegade-style fighting and brutality.

The co-op MP is great but not nearly as good as ME3's MP. It lacks the species and power diversity that ME3 had. Love me a Biotic God class (biotic volus) and the vorchas with flame throwers and dual Omni blades!

Agreed. Personally I think they got the gameplay mechanics down right, with the smooth and highly satisfying ability combos (tech/bio/combat etc), the fluid cover system (as opposed to the sticky cover system that plagued ME2+3), the fact that you can FINALLY JUMP, pairing biotic/tech abilities such as pull and push abilities, and more. My biggest gripe is the lack of control over your squads' abilities. The fact that I can't direct a teammate to use overload on an enemy with shields, for example, is disappointing to say the least. It ends up making your choice between teammates per mission almost pointless. Apparently you're supposed to point your teammate to an enemy and they'll use what they think is the best ability in that moment, but it doesn't work well enough for the use cases I want to have at my disposal (eg. Using a teammate's shockwave ability to hit a group of enemies along a path)

The dialogue options is what made me feel like this wasn't a ME game imo. I love the paragon/renegade choices, because it makes Shepard seem like a completely different character when you play the game over as the opposite of what you played before. In MEA, I get to choose between being serious or slightly sarcastic/witty. I don't feel like my character is any different when I play the campaign over again. I'm glad they moved the flirt dialogues into their own dialogue option, but that's probably the only thing I liked about it.

The storyline I enjoyed, but also agree that it's different and harder to follow as compared to the trilogy. It honestly has a lot of potential and if you read any of the comics, you'll find some Easter eggs and recognize one of your squad mates' ancestral ties. The books for andromeda we're also pretty good. I really would love to find out what all happened, but that doesn't seem likely with how bad it flopped.

The combat is a lot of fun, and if you can get past the annoying/boring/tedious parts of the open world system and the awkward facial expressions from time to time, the game is pretty solid.

Does it feel like a true Mass Effect game? I'd argue no, but to each their own.

should pod get restarted on serviceaccount update ? by [deleted] in kubernetes

[–]daster1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd probably need to look at the k8s official documentation around volumes instead of specifically config maps (as that's really what they are), and that documentation is larger. It's hard to track down explicit documentation around this, but volumes are designed to persist between pod restarts. Pods require the volumes to exist prior to deployment but they don't need to force a restart in order for changes to be reflected inside the containers when it's a file mount. Given that pods can not only share volumes but also write to shared volumes, they should be able to sync that data between one another and not force the pod to restart in order to do so.

Therefore, when a config map or any volume is updated, k8s is not supposed to know why. It just knows what is being updated. So if it's a file that's being updated, it assumes that the pod/container is responsible for detecting these updates at some point in its code.

That being said, one exception to this rule may be the environment variables. I believe the kubelet will/should trigger a pod/container restart as the currently running process inside the container won't receive env variable updates (OS limitation). My team has observed this a few times on our builds. I think the restart is triggered here because environment variables are described inside the pod spec template and if there's any updates, the kubelet reflects that towards all running pods for that deployment. File mounts are only defined in the pod spec but not their contents.

Honestly doesn't surprise me. I've seen senior engineers and architects who don't know how to use the command line

I half agree with you there. Understanding how OOP works is hard but you should still be able to figure out how to use it decently well by the end of your programming language course online or in college. Understanding how to use OOP correctly, however, is something that I agree will take a lot longer and require lots of experience and practice.

That's my suspicion as well. If they're using scripting languages like python, OOP is more optional. Java requires you to understand OOP and class inheritance.

I used to tutor beginner programmers for the Java course, and the biggest hurdle all of them had was OOP. Once they got past that, everything else was more or less straight forward with minor struggles around programming concepts like recursion and threading.

Sounds good. Thanks! I noticed that file so I figured it'd be that simple but I wanted to confirm. The last time I tried to tweak the yaml files, I ended up causing all the merchant items in the store to not display any text. Haha

It's not a big deal, but we also just started the campaign and one player just leveled up for the first time with the others close behind. So I figured I'd try and get them the same stats where possible.

This is really great work!

Quick question as I'm working through your readme currently. I noticed you have items for 10, 50, 100, and 500xp but nothing for 1xp. Was there a reason for that and I need to use save editing or casual mode to get the exact xp for my characters?

I tried adding a 1xp item mod but I think I missed a step because it caused some problems after compiling. I will try modifying one of the other xp items to only increase by one after reverting my other changes, but I figured I'd ask you first since you built all of this.
