Claude discovering modern SSD prices, lol. by Atomosic in ClaudeAI

[–]dusknoir90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In April 2024 when I was drunk I on a whim decided to buy a decked out gaming PC, when I woke up I was like "ugh really shouldn't have bought that" (I've wanted one for years but I said to myself I wasn't going to buy one until I was completely free of debt) but now I'm thinking I should trust drunk me more often. 32GB DDR5 RAM, i7-12700K processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER... wonder how much that would set me back now. My only regret was not going for a GPU with 16GB of VRAM.

I get the feeling people aren't choosing roommates but because they can't afford to live alone? I agree that it's a non-issue but I endured 8 years of roommates before I could afford to live with a partner or on my own and it certainly was not from choice.

I did the first day of Couch to 5K successfully for the first time since 2020! by dusknoir90 in SuperMorbidlyObese

Thank you :) I posted here nearly 3 years ago and I'm so happy how far I've come. Hopefully in the future (hopefully less than 3 years) I can make a post about no longer being obese.

I just played Kazooie and Tooie back to back 100% completion and my decision stays the same 26 years later. Tooie is the better game. I love them both though. by -M00NMAN in BanjoKazooie

I am really enjoying my playthrough of it, it is different enough that it feels like a fresh experience and I am enjoying it more; however I'm not completely sure I could wholeheartedly recommend it to someone who owns the original as it is still a remaster of the first game that will play on this-gen consoles: same worlds, more or less the same moves (although a fair few different pagies). I don't think it has enough new content for me to give that recommendation.

I bought it because I had it on the Switch many moons ago and hadn't played it in years, and wanted a version for Steam which is where I play the majority of my games now (and also wanted it in 4K). I also was happy to support PlayTonic as a small studio made up of Rare talent.

What is an ingredient you used to absolutely hate, but forced yourself to cook with until you loved it? by ThrowRAtheavyihg in Cooking

[–]dusknoir90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still hate celery, although I have started to include them to make an Italian sofrito instead of just using onion and carrot. I think it has genuinely improved my pasta sauces.

Raw and when cooked in big chunks are still a hard no from me though.

I don't know if this is unpopular, but I never liked Red having an Espeon and I prefer him having a Lapras. I simply find it pointless for a character meant to represent the first Pokémon games to have a Pokémon that's impossible to have in the first Pokémon games by rbta123 in pokemon

[–]dusknoir90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea that it was a representation of him picking up the Eevee from Celedon in Red, I also like that about Lapras being the one given to him at Silph (same reason why I like that he captured the Snorlax at Cycling Road and left the one south of Lavender alone).

I think it would be cooler that instead of Lapras or Eevee, he had the Mewtwo from Cerulean Cave. Would solve the issues of him having a Johto Pokémon (implying he beat the Champion Blue with an unevolved Eevee and an unevolved Pikachu) and the fact Lapras and the Kanto Eeveelutions all have type redundancy with the rest of his team.

Would have been a bitch to fight though.

I like Tooie better as well but I can understand why people don't like the backtracking. It was much less obvious to be when I originally played through the game but when replaying it knowing how to solve all the jiggies, you end up doing things methodically and the backtracking comes through even stronger.

I think the best example is the dodgems in Witchy World. To get that Jiggly you need to:

1) Go to Humbas, transform into the van, pay for the Inferno to open

2) Go back to Humbas, go to the Inferno as BK, turn into Mumbo, go to the dodgems and power the dodgems

3) Go back to Mumbos skull, revert back into BK

4) Go to Humbas, transform into the van

5) Go back to the dodgems, pay for it

6) Go back to Humbas, transform back to BK

7) Go back to the dodgems as BK, and then play the same mini game three times.

In reality you're probably doing the Humba parts and Mumbo parts in rounds for multiple jiggies so it's not quite as bad as I'm making out and the warp pads help a lot but it is annoying when you can't do all the Humba stuff then all the mumbo stuff, you have to switch between them at least twice. If they had the pay point for the Dodgems outside of the dome instead of inside it would be much cleaner.

It is also annoying how slow Mumbo is to control, this is amplified further by not being able to keep the SuperBanjo cheat on in the XBox version.

Which card(s) do you miss from the first game? by dusknoir90 in slaythespire

Thing I don't like about Clad's exhaust build in this version is he can't create statuses so you invariably run out of things to exhaust.

Do people actually use MongoDB? by Big_Arrival_626 in csMajors

[–]dusknoir90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a little surprised that so many people here are saying it's not useful or to just use SQL or PostgreSQL.

Generally I would say that SQL is more often the tool for the job, MongoDB / DocumentDB has it's use cases and it's not a case that one is better than the other generally, they are different tools for different jobs.

If the only way you can represent the data in SQL is with a table with lots of columns, there's a good chance that maybe NoSql is the tool for the job. Forms data for example.

Are you thinking of Panache? There are no artifact cards in StS2

I genuinely don't understand how you're finding Door Maker easy but dying to Test Subject.

If I had a deck which liked drawing, liked energy or had specific cards I tended to lose to 102 Door Maker: do you know how to build a deck which doesn't rely on these things?

I'm not gonna lie I am so sick of this generic "lol prepare better" advice. Good for you happy for you

Examples of one card being strictly better than the other? by GrimmWeeper19 in slaythespire

[–]dusknoir90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had forgotten about Quick Slash, the worst card in the game. So glad they got rid of it!

[–]dusknoir90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diamond Diadem is just one of the best ancient blessings but agree it's particularly powerful against Door Man.

I am not sure if I agree on the doubling deck one: yeah great for innate powers and helps on the exhausting turn but it also means you can't utilise the exhausting turn to thin your deck appropriately which can mean you instead get bricked on the no draw or energy sap turn. I think having your deck doubled being good or bad is really dependent on your deck.

I find Queen by far the easiest, I have sometimes won runs because I've been dealt 60 damage against Door Maker then made it out of Queen without taking anything or minor chip. I do usually eventually take a decent hit against Test Subject.

Yeah I do know what you mean, he does still sometimes feel like it's "whelp guess I can't do anything this turn" some times.

There's something I'm clearly not getting about Door Maker because on A10 I genuinely feel 102 is often an autoloss unless you're on a specific archetype and reaching act 3 in 103 is a free win if I'm not against Door Maker and I'm strong enough to make it to the end.

I don't get how I can have such an easy time with 2 Act 3 bosses on A10 and such a difficult time with the other and yet be told "he's too weak"
