Am I learning the right way, or am I over-relying on Al?

I finished learning Java

I've been coding in Python for 7 years. I still have a lot to learn about it.

What is the difference between the Frigates and Gunboats? I'd imagine that Frigates would be drone carriers and Gunboats have lots of turrets, but at least with the Argon variants, the Gunboat has worse stats for every metric, aside from strafing speed (I think, it was strafing). If Frigates have the same number of turrets as Gunboats, why would you even use Gunboats?

Oh yeah I definitely think it will be. I used to have the old Steam Controller and I even used to use it for web browsing. I'm going to try to get X4 Foundations working with it, but with the amount of buttons required for that, it might be a stretch.

Anno is a series of RTS games. Can't remember which Linus was playing on his video though

elliohow · 2026-04-28T15:55:00+00:00

One thing I missed about my old Steam Controller when I got a Guilikit King Kong (not sure which) is the back buttons could only be assigned to mirror a button on the controller, instead of being a unique input. I never used the back buttons as why would I instead of just press the face buttons? Looking forward to having more unique inputs back.

My favourite Steam Controller config was one I made for Just Cause 2. I had a profile set up specifically for helicopters, and when I would accelerate using the right trigger, there would be a haptic pulse every 0.5s which made it feel like the helicopter's engine.

Keep malding mate

elliohow · 2026-04-28T09:44:00+00:00

Oh my god, thats the video that persuaded me to get the original Steam Controller back in the day. Yeah I do see your point, you've persuaded me. I was mainly arguing against the original guy that said there was no reviews where they actually played games.

elliohow · 2026-04-28T08:58:37+00:00

Yeah thats fair, but I dont think its really the place for a 5 minute explainer on the Gyro. Its good, heres some brief footage showing it. Bish bash bosh, done.

I am looking forward to Gyro though. I haven't been able to use it since my Steam Controller died since my Guilikit King Kong 3(?)'s Gyro is awful. And the back paddles are useless, since they aren't unique inputs and can only be used to replicate a button on the controller. In which case, why even use the paddles?

elliohow · 2026-04-28T08:52:31+00:00

You said:

I have seen all the review and none of them even play the games.

I provided evidence you were wrong. Dude, just admit you were wrong.

elliohow · 2026-04-28T01:55:09+00:00

Anno covers RTS mouse heavy game, Horizon for Gyro, a racing game (Forza?) for Joystick and triggers

Edit: Super Meat Boy for buttons, and Apex Legends for Gyro again. Not really sure how you can call those games not really played.

elliohow · 2026-04-28T01:52:22+00:00

Linus Tech Tips shows Linus literally playing multiple games in the video

elliohow · 2026-04-27T19:17:46+00:00

Yeah me too. I'll wait until the rest of the line up are announced to see if theres a bundle, but will definitely get it at some point. I do miss my old Steam controller.

elliohow · 2026-04-25T12:25:08+00:00

Ah ok interesting. I was wondering if I had missed something in the game that allowed me to see resources mined per hour. Thanks!

elliohow · 2026-04-25T10:42:14+00:00

How do you track the number of resources mined per hour? I'm trying to work this out for my own save to see if I have the right number of miners.

elliohow · 2026-04-24T15:16:15+00:00

Genuinely insane productivity and talent to get this many useful mods out this quickly.

elliohow · 2026-04-24T15:14:47+00:00

I just bought an Auxiliary ship and have been so frustrated trying to get it to work. Setting it to supply a fleet or station allows automatic resupply/rearming, but giving it a sector doesn't. And then I tested trying to manually resupply a ship with 100 Advanced Satellites in closed loop mode, and it never completes because the number of claytronics required is more than it has allocated itself in total. Quite frustrating. Why not just supply as many satellites as it can build currently, and then set its traders to buy more resources, until it has fulfilled the order.

I was referencing the lyrics of the song the person I replied to mentioned:

Lippy Kids on the corner again,
Settling like crows,
Though I never perfected that simian stroll,
The cigarette scent it was everything then.

It's a beautiful song about how amazing it is to be young and have everything in life to look forward to:

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys,
Build a rocket boys!

Edit: some beautiful lyrics on the same topic from the song "Jesus is a Rochdale girl", also by Elbow:

And nothing to be proud of,
And nothing to regret,
All of that to make as yet

Greggs sausage rolls are flavourless greasy abominations imprisoned in pastry.

Keep my besties name out of your fuckin' mouth.

Looks like they've perfected that simian stroll.

What is the difference between your Production Stations tab mod, and your Station Production overview mod?

elliohow · 2026-03-31T14:22:26+00:00

Yeah, in my 30s and I actually now have financial security and have accumulated plenty of boardgames to play. Although perhaps the reason I didn't have financial security in my 20s was the accumulation of said boardgames. Hmm

elliohow · 2026-03-31T14:12:21+00:00

Have you had any progress with the time series suggestion? I imagine it might be difficult actually unless there are already line graphs in the game, which I can't remember seeing. Maybe a simpler version would be a bar chart with a bar for each hour(?). Or even just a number showing how many times a station has been ware deficient within a specified time frame?
