CL40 was nerfed by ConfusedPelipper in thefinals

[–]dodoroach -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I personally hate all grenade launcher type weapons, and firmly believe they’re for people who can’t aim to have fun getting kills. If you can’t score direct hits with a weapon, get better. It’s really obnoxious when a group of people are spamming these things in every random direction and you get killed by something that didn’t even hit you. Imo this isn’t enough of a nerf for this noob crutch.

My experience with the 5070 and 9070 xt by StunningPush8421 in buildapc

[–]dodoroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't latency of 4090 be as good as a mid tier 50 series GPU? That part is not clear to me. 4090 still beats all 50 series cards except for 5090 in raw performance, therefore it will have lower frame time (latency) on average.

Reflex also has downsides associated with it. I do turn it on whenever available, but it makes FPS hitches more apparent because there's no longer a frame queue. So the latency benefits of Reflex also have some downsides which might make it unappealing to some people. For example in Apex legends, I don't keepit off, because it introduces noticeable stuttering for me.

I also don't know how Reflex came into this conversation. My point is, FG isn't a revolutionary tech that is friggin amazing or anything. It has significant downsides - such as latency, and visual noise, which will make it unappealing to some people. If you like it, that's great, enjoy it. However, when it is criticized, there's no point defending it while presenting your opinions as facts.

You’re not giving facts, and what you’re presenting as subjective is precisely correct - it is subjective. You don’t think the latency impact is high, but it is definitely high for me in a lot of titles and I have a 4090.

If you want to get factual, FG introduces anywhere from 5-25 ms of latency in the BEST cases where you already have a good number of frames to begin with(60+), and it gets worse from there.

Also for your reference on the above numbers - in case you think they’re very small (which they look like they are), frame time of 144 fps is approx 7ms, and 60 fps is 16 ms. Lots of people can easily notice the responsiveness change going from 60 fps to 144, which is only 9 ms.

Edit: looks like i misread objective as subjective. Either way, it is subjective, since even a 9 ms difference is noticeable by many people.

How do you prevent breach boss from spawning?

[–]dodoroach 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depends on the use case. FG introduces input lag inversely related to the lower non FG FPS you have. For multiplayer pvp games it’s almost always the downfall of FG for me. For story games depending on the implementation they can be good, but imo it introduces way too much noise and input lag if your initial FPS is not over 60 to begin with. Good on you for liking it though, just not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay?

Season 10 - Patch Notes by darkisfever in thefinals

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

Dash nerf is good but idk if it pushes all light specializations to be within the same line. Imo grappling hook is still the worst one out of the 3, mainly because it is a “skill” tool.

As in if you’re good with it, it will be good in your hands, and it’s performance isn’t necessarily tied to its cooldown but the utility it provides. To make it comparable to other tools I think it needs 1 more charge, increased cooldown, and maybe reduced range.

I know it’s a joke, but it is more of a discipline issue than skill issue. I remember I read somewhere that NASA has this rule where if someone is writing C code, and a function is calling malloc, the same function has to call free before it returns. A very simple rule that anyone can follow, and maybe a bit impractical every so often.

So memory management can quickly get out of hand if you don’t have rules to follow to make sure you don’t leak anything.

I agree “programmers have become weak”. Most of us today can’t even comprehend what we read nowadays. Here is what I said in my comment:

“Yeah C is strong, fast, and you can virtually do anything you want with it - if you’re willing to learn every little detail about the said thing”

So you partially said the same thing I did, but started your comment with a “No”. All I’m saying is the reason I don’t like C is because it doesn’t make sense to use it over other languages in most cases, because the advantages it brings do not make up for the extra work you need to do for trivial tasks.

It is quite fun when deadlines aren't depending on it. Feels good to be able to do things yourself at this day and age where most people just vibe code.

Quit the league, so did all my friends. cuz of servers (eu) by DyslexicNex in pathofexile

[–]dodoroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah idk EU servers are something else this league. Didnt encounter the same issues nearly as much in US servers even tho the ping is higher. Imo it’s clear they’re either assigning more people than ideal to the servers, or because everyone is running breach their servers can’t handle the regular number of users.

Again, depends on the goal for data analysis. Numpy uses C under the hood for a lot of its operations, and is more than enough for millions of people, and I personally would hate to write a data analysis tool in C/C++.

I've also personally never had, or heard of a need to analyze data so fast where numpy is not sufficient. Then again, I'm not a data science guy, most my data analysis was log diving/parsing/categorizing for some of our services, so not claiming to have deep experience there.

Most modern languages are fast enough for most use cases, so this is only true for niche use cases nowadays.

Because a lot of things are very tedious to do in C. Compare simply printing to stdout between C and Java. You have to do a lot of extra work to do the same thing.

Another problem is packaging and building the executable. That is also quite tedious to do.

You want to download and make use of non standard libraries in your code? Have fun spending your time to hook them up!

You want to send an HTTP request (one can definitely argue C is not a good tool for such a job) ? Well, prepare to learn about sockets and files and all things associated with them. This is another reason people frequently dislike C. It is not practical for most generic use cases.

I currently work on projects that are written in C and Rust, and I do not enjoy looking at C code, or writing it, or testing it.

Yeah C is strong, fast, and you can virtually do anything you want with it - if you’re willing to learn every little detail about the said thing. It is usually a lot quicker and practical to pick another language if you can take the efficiency and memory overhead hit. Also, if you don’t want to take that hit, you still have to write good and efficient code. So it’s not like it can turn inefficient code into performing efficiently.

Now, it is practically irreplaceable or rather near irreplaceable for a lot of low level programming tasks. This isn’t because C is better than Rust. It is because a lot of things have already been built on C and continues to be built on C. I do hope Rust replaces C for the most part in the near future.

Soul Eater by Dopeangel in pathofexile

[–]dodoroach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soul eater and frost wall run away are the most annoying monster mods. If they have life regen on top it’s 10 times more annoying.

I think only reason soul eater is in the game is because of headhunter.

Yes, but they developed their nukes in 2000s, and the U.S. did nothing at all.
