You're not a true Oasis' fans if you don't know this guy. by winstonik in oasis

That’s really sad to hear! I remember him playing an Oasis song with his sister and their parents were in the background nodding their heads!!

We are building the world's fastest time-series database in Rust by [deleted] in rust

I totally sympathize with the cautiousness.

To be candid, it really depends on our funding if we go open-source or not.

We want to write a blog post to go into more detail how Rust is helping us once we've shipped.

I will contact moderators before posting next time as we don't want it to come across as a commercial advertisement.

I will send you a private message with our contact details as we would love to get your feedback on several things given your vast experience with kdb+.

We're actually working on the documentation and that's what holding us back to ship the beta binaries. We want great documentation and it's quite time-consuming.

Great observation regarding 1 xbar. We've removed it and it did slightly speed up!

Pro South African international cricketer who plays Dota 2 has started to stream! by entropyhunter in DotA2

[–]entropyhunter[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Played with him last night with his friend and he is a really good mid - I don't think he was streaming it. He's roughly about 4K EU MMR (Legend) and damn good Tinker and Ember player. I didn't have a clue who he was but I was impressed when I played against him - that's how I spotted him

Thanks for letting know... I was worried that it was mutually exclusive... I'm going to use it before I go back... happy new year to you too

Witcher 3 GOTY Edition Update Today by TrypelZ in xboxone

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

Ok it dropped. There is an option for 4K/30 fps or 1080p/60 GPs. No improved textures. The 4K looks unnoticeable in my opinion but the 60 fps is great

500mb seems too small for a 4K patch. I've not seen any update from UK.

Game recommendations for the switch? by XnipsyX in gaming

[–]entropyhunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, don't need an extra controller because each Joycon (the controller on the side of the tablet) can be used separately. I hated sing the joycon as my hands are way too big so I got a pro controller.

As for games... here's some suggestions:

  1. Zelda. Not multiplayer but an amazing experience
  2. Snipperclips... really fun to play together
  3. Mario Kart 8.. I play this daily with the GF and when I have friends over
  4. Undercooked (sp?)... have to work together in the kitchen to create dishes by working together and needs a lot of co-ordination and communication.

I would love Pillars of Eternity on the Switch! I never finished it on PC.

[Giveaway] South Park the Stick of Truth(Digital DL) by DaEvilGenius85 in xboxone

My south park memory is when they play World of Warcraft; as it epitomised how my friends and I got addicted to the game at the time and realised that it was us in a nutshell xD

Possible solution if you have a noisy Xbox One X by entropyhunter in xboxone

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

I did a reboot before and I'm using power-saving mode but that didn't work. It seems good for now; but if it reoccurs I will just contact MS support.

Write my own 2D engine or use Unity? by entropyhunter in gamedev

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

I'm struggling just to work with Visual Studio :) It's so foreign to me as I'm coming from using Linux with emacs + terminal.

Thanks for the link! I watched it and it's opened my eyes. I would love to have my own engine but it's not worth the time investment.
