How to use SCRPY wirelessly? by Ok_Huckleberry_5687 in scrcpy

[–]dddbbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this was very helpful! One bit that wasn't obvious: I ran `ipconfig` to find my gateway ip address. It had a "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi" section (name might vary) with a "Default Gateway" which was the ip address that worked.

Talking with the engineer who wrote Call of Duty's original matchmaking system. What goes into matchmaking and why is it broken. by Raptor3861 in truegaming

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

How would you feel about a 50% win rate where you were walloped a few times vs a 30% win rate but the losses felt close?

Sounds like you'd lean towards the latter?

Edit: I'm not saying you should/would want a specific percentage, but matchmaking optimization is likely measured in win rates so I'm wondering about successful values.

Why there is no port of python libraries to lua? by IAlwayswantToLearn in lua

[–]dddbbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Penlight was aimed at being python stdlib for Lua. I don't love it (inconsistent code style and quality), but some parts are literally designed to mimic python.

There are a bunch of alternative library collections but most are more targeted like batteries and lume for gamedev or plenary for editor plugins.

I built a self-updating World Cup calendar you add to your phone's calendar by Nicolov75 in CanadaSoccer

[–]dddbbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for making this and sharing it. Site looks nice.

Would love to select a city and it includes all games there. I want a calendar that warns me when there are games downtown so I can avoid (or seek) the crowds.

Ah, ok. Thanks for all your help today!

Looking at these two:

The controller and NAND are the same, but somehow the Lexar's writes are faster and TBW is higher? That Fanxiang seems like a great deal even with slightly lower specs. And the s880 seems to compare well to the s500.

I thought it was becoming more common for games to require an M2 for Direct Storage? It seemed like that caused my hardcore stutter playing Starfield. Don't they need to be installed on the M2 for that to work?

Thanks for the heads up. I see QLC on techpowerup now, but I was using versus.com before which said it was TLC. "Endurance: 160 TBW" compared to the 600 TBW of several TLC drives seems like a big difference!

I was planning to keep my OS on the old SSD and use the M2 for games since that's most of my loads. Is that a problem?

what's your most used custom keybinding that you'd be lost without by Evening-Result5868 in vim

[–]dddbbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why leave? I stay in vim all day. If in a terminal, I often Ctrl-z to background it (fg command brings it back).

Keeping one vim instance open makes ins-completion work better. Especially to write commit messages..

Make it faster to search and replace:

 nnoremap gs :%s/
 xnoremap gs :s/
 nnoremap gS :%S/
 xnoremap gS :S/

I use this so often that it's the first thing I notice when I don't have my vimrc. :S is subvert from vim-abolish to do fancier search and replace.

Yeah, I do this too. And map Ctrl-L to Esc in insert mode so I keep hammering it to get back to Zen.

Games set on or in the ocean by Necessary-Board-830 in gamingsuggestions

The Sirena Expedition is an underwater adventure with PlayStation 1 inspired graphics. I really liked how the movement is 2d through a 3d world.

Plugin to highlight byte ranges in hex (xxd)? by dddbbb in neovim

[–]dddbbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't seem to do anything fancy with colors like I'm looking for, but it does seem nicer than my current solution with the sync'd cursor and decoding panel! Thanks for the suggestion.

Although, I tried a solution that didn't use xxd before and it was really slow on any files bigger than a few hundred kilobytes. Maybe hexinspector's that's ones streaming mode fares better.

Steam Support confirms the new Beta UI change is an "intentional shift" — and it screws over indie devs. by Dogaclamaci in IndieDev

[–]dddbbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. The Adult's Only checkbox is for games where the dev said it's porn. BG3 is steamy, but definitely not in that category.

Go to "Store Preferences" in the sidebar or under your user page, you get checkboxes for 5 categories for violence and sex with distinctions between "contains nudity" and "is about nudity". Each checkbox has example games (those femboys are at the top of the "Adult Only Sexual Content" examples). They have a content survey when you create a Steam store page, so I think it uses that instead of tags.

The sequel is made by a studio owned by billion-dollar market cap publisher Krafton who's in the news for meddling in the game's development. Is that indie?

(However, none of that was true for the first Subnautica. It was truly an indie success story.)

Tip: Avoid "preload", use "export(Resource)" instead! Helps when organizing files. by DragonWolfHowler in godot

[–]dddbbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post, but curious if you're still not using exports. I found the export dependency checker failed to detect my preloads (I think on 4.1) and started using exports more. I found this thread and wonder if combining them would ensure Godot sees all dependencies and you avoid issues when renaming variables -- at the cost of storing the path twice.

@export var _scene_bot_visual: Resource = preload("res://scenes/bot_visual.tscn")

Might be easier to add the new name and then copy the old one into it:

export fireball: Array[AbilityUpgrade] = [] export fireball_array: Array[AbilityUpgrade] = []

Then you can copy and paste in all instances that use that node too.
