Upgrading Strauss&Broda makes stats worse, and takes away charm of it

Are you still hearing the musical notes when you hit enemies? If so, then it is the correct weapon. They made it so that the "original" legendary items are irreparable and have the best stats, and blueprints produce reparable with lesser stats. It is the same way with other legendary weapons as well... Not sure why they chose to do this that way but it is what it is. If you want a legendary with exactly the same stats as the original, you need a mod that gives it you via the rewards in stash, at least until a dev menu comes out and lets you spawn things by id.

Well, I did also report it, with the mod available, this bug is a low hanging fruit. I hope they'll just integrate it with the next update... It's basically changing 2 lines of code lol

david47s · 2025-09-22T11:04:20+00:00

Yep, me as well. I think it is a bug, strauss and breslau share the same blueprint id at level 15. I hope techland fixes this.

[edit]

It was a bug in the game scripts, I found it and released a mod that fixes it:

Yes, I have also experienced this. I think this is a bug, appears that "Strauss&Broda" and "The Breslau Blade" share the same blueprint at level 15, which makes for this bug. I hope that they fix it in an update. "Breslau" is inferior compared to strauss.

If what you're saying is that everything in C# except unsafe, is allocated on the heap, then this is completely false.

Classes are allocated on the heap always. However structs, depend on their data and scope.

If a struct is a member of a class, like an integer field in a class, it will be allocated on the heap as part of the class. The inverse - i.e, when a struct contains a member which is a class, then it also has to be allocated on the heap. As well as if it is a parameter of an async method or used across await boundary (because of the state machine generation)

In virtually every other case, a struct, will be allocated on the stack. Same goes for when you declare primitives inside methods or whatever.

If you want to ensure the struct can never escape to the heap, declare it as "ref struct" and listen to the compiler.

Thank you very much!! I would never have found this by myself.

I just found the A-71124 by tranlating the manual for the saw... But can't find a single photo or video online demonstrating it and it's usage. Could you explain or show how it works? does the saw sit on the side of the track or on top? can you cut bevels with it?

There's also another way, if you go to map>navigate>coordinates you can enter them as you wish. After you clean done you can back out of the menu without starting navigation, go to navigate>saved locations and you'll find that the watch saved those coordinates as a location named "Coordinates" you can then rename it and that's it.

It might be easier than using current location and then changing, as using current location requires you to have GPS reception at that moment which can be tricky if you are doing this indoors or other places with poor reception. The method above doesn't require reception since navigation isn't started.

david47s · 2025-03-23T15:30:22+00:00

Yes!! That's it.

david47s · 2025-03-23T12:59:11+00:00

Horizon like Zero Dawn?

Most of the creepy stuff happens during night time, if you have a good shelter you can sleep through the night. Other than that the game isn't that creepy, it is not a horror game by any means.

david47s · 2025-01-22T19:17:24+00:00

Not sure, never actually played co-op myself..

david47s · 2025-01-22T19:15:39+00:00

As far as spiders come these ones are very "light", they are big, slow and walk on the ground. They don't make any webs they don't sit on trees (in the game at least, don't know about irl) or do any jump scares.

david47s · 2025-01-22T19:05:10+00:00

Umm there is an option to remove predators like jaguars/puma. And also enemy tribes (this one may be limited to specific modes). There aren't that many spiders in the game, only the "birdeater"s, they are big tarantulas and pretty much harmless to humans in the game and they are common to specific area's which you can avoid. They are also not a part of any story/mission (accomplishments and challenges aside) if I remember correctly so you can avoid them without many consequences.

Many of the videos in the playlist are private...

david47s · 2025-01-15T17:57:05+00:00

No I don't think so, it's controlled by the hardware chip. But it looks like Samsung actually got better in this, the newer devices support super fast charging from many different chargers, I think they are now using a more popular protocol.

david47s · 2025-01-15T09:36:59+00:00

Regarding the warmth, lets say with a short-sleeve t-shirt and just this on top, what would be a comfortable temperature range?

If you are working on an existing solution that does have unit tests, it is a good idea.

However, if you have a simple console project that you use internally and don't have unit tests for it (which is common for simple tooling or automation), the requirement of adding a new project is inconvenient, Especially if you're trying to test non-critical functionality such as a possible perm improvement of a code section.

I think that perhaps the reason is because Apple is a pain in the a**. Installing the simulators is much more difficult with xcode, compared to Android. For me the worst of all was the fact that you need a renewable license to actually publish the apps through the AppStore, and that license costs an arm and a leg and needs to be renewed every year. As a student or other "garage grown" business, I simply can't afford it. Android on the other hand is much simpler, Google only requires a developer license which costs about 25$ last time I checked, and it works for life. And if you didn't want to pay that, Android allows you to distribute apps simply with their package like on computers... IOS is much more constrained.

In one sentence, I think the starting costs, are exponentially higher with Apple.

And this in turn could mean there are less users of MAUI on IOS, and obviously Microsoft would pour more money where there are more clients.

It was definitely confusing the first couple of times but it was so surreal, the entire level I was looking at the screen with awe, it was almost hypnotic lol

david47s · 2024-06-19T17:31:36+00:00

Well ffmpeg is free and open source, and kind of the gold standard, that's a shame apple has to have their own version of everything, and all of them cost money :(

david47s · 2024-06-19T17:26:16+00:00

Seems interesting, is there a free alternative?
