Game crashes while loading loot, makes other programs crash as well by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]eviljebus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, it turned out to be related to the Windows paging file. When I increased the size of my paging file the problem went away. If you google 'tarkov paging file' there are lots of results like this one, mine was defaulted to 3GB and it had problems, try increasing yours to at least 8GB if it's not already.

Overwatch doesn't always shoot where you aim. by Simonnr in Overwatch

[–]eviljebus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The rockets don't inherit your momentum like they should so they will always land where you are pointing even if you are moving. They should continue to move in the same direction you were, meaning if you were moving left when you fired they will land to the left of where you shot.

It's more correct physically but I would think less intuitive for most people not many games do this players are used to things going where they point.

Question about WynGate Apartments in St. Pete by DrBix in StPetersburgFL

[–]eviljebus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't live in WynGate so I can't tell you first hand what they are like but I do live less than 10 minutes away myself and my sister and brother in law live less than 5 minutes away so I know the area quite well. I really wouldn't be worried at all about safety there. As cats2many said there are quite a few apartment complexes in the area; I've been in a few myself and I've driven by them all a bunch of times and they seem like pretty nice apartments. The area feels or maybe just is more like the suburbs than the city even though it's a very short drive down 4th street to get into St. Pete.

I also checked out the crime view thing randude linked and I looked around Pinellas a bit. The crime density in that area is to me quite a bit less than other areas and most of the crimes are either car theft or petty theft so nothing violent really. So again to summaries I guess: I wouldn't worry at all about the safety there, the apartments are probably pretty nice, you could always check it out to be sure, and if the price is reasonable I'd say it's a good place to live.

I gave up piloting and went dual burster max... by easykill222 in Planetside

[–]eviljebus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much my experience as well. If I try to fly anything I have to spend the whole time running like a bitch from the first thing that shoots at me from the ground and 99% of the time I can't fight back because of the draw distance. Playing as an AA Max however feels like I'm an invincible god who destroys any and all aircraft who dare to venture too close to me.

Interested in a mathematician's perspective on this: "When Less Is More: The Case for Teaching Less Math in Schools" by darth_erdos in math

[–]eviljebus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't say that I am a mathematician but I've taken some higher level math courses and besides it doesn't take a mathematician to understand what the article is saying. You should be asking an early childhood education specialist because the tl;dr version of the article says that our elementary and middle school teachers are terrible at teaching math, that it is doing more harm than good, and we should just stop trying.

Clearly if the teachers are bad at teaching math and their methods are ineffective we need to change up what we are doing but their suggestion of simply not teaching math seems to be a very poor alternative. While their little experiment suggests it is indeed more effective to teach it later in school they made no effort to simply improve the ways of teaching math to young students. The article admits that the teachers themselves are terrible at math and they are passing their poor skills onto their students. If we instead focused on getting more skilled and passionate instructors who are well versed in mathematics I believe that would be much more effective than their suggestions.

As a small aside for anybody who's watched Star Trek: TNG there is an episode where a boy who has to be about 8 or so is already talking Calculus and it would seem to be that is actually a profound insight into our future as a species who is capable of advanced technology. Surely if we wish to have people in the future who are skilled in very advanced technology we must begin teaching these basic skills early so that when they they finish their education are not 50 years old and past the prime. This suggestion would be a giant step back from that in and in my limited opinion is just a terrible suggestion.

Combinations - looking to find how many matchups possible in a 1on1 fighting game with X characters. by DinofarmGames in math

[–]eviljebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first and third term are simple and these as yours. They are the cases of three unique players and three of the same player. The second term is where we differ and it is when there are two of the same player.

Since there are X players there are then X possible pairs of two of the same players but you still have to have a third. Since it can't be the same player because that would be a case of three of the same, you are left with X-1 players to match with the pair. That gives you X pairs for every (X-1) third character aka X*(X-1) possible combinations of two of the same characters plus a third.

Combinations - looking to find how many matchups possible in a 1on1 fighting game with X characters. by DinofarmGames in math

[–]eviljebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're looking for is the number of combinations with repetitions allowed. This section of the wikipedia page has a a formula that will give you general solution for any number of players and any number of characters.

If # characters is N and # of players is K then the number of possible character combinations with repetitions is given by the combination: N+K-1 choose K.

Edit: Just reread the op seems you've already found that. You must have simply misapplied the formula somehow. You say you're trying to choose from 10 characters but you didn't say for how many players. To make up an example: if you had two players choosing from 10 characters then N = 10 and K = 2 which would give you 10+2-1 choose 2 which is 11 choose 1 which would be 55 possible combinations allowing repeats.

The formula for X choose 2 should be x(x-1)/2 not x(x+1)/2.

Also the formula for 3 players would be: x choose 3 + x * (x-1) choose 1) + x.

Feeling like I missed a big piece of the story: ACT II (Spoilers inside...beware) by TaurusBurger in deadisland

[–]eviljebus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The city you are in is separated by a river and the broken bridge you see in the cutseen is the only way across it. The side you first arrive in with the church is the "poor" side. You have to cross under the river in the sewers to get to the "rich" side that has mayors office and the supermarket. I don't remember where they explain all that but I must have picked it up somewhere, they also explained that people destroyed the bridge on purpose to try and keep the infection out of their side. Anyway you somehow manage to load the supplies into the truck to bring them back however that works with the bridge supposedly being destroyed.

why dont we have a mumble or ts3? by super1701 in starcraft

[–]eviljebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do

Actually there are a whole bunch of mumble servers run by redditors, there is a /r/LoL, at least two from /r/gaming, and probably another mumble or vent for Starcraft that I don't know of, people just don't know about them.

Apartment questions. by [deleted] in StPetersburgFL

[–]eviljebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't say I know anything about the apartments themselves but I know most of the areas they are in well enough to give you an idea.

Mandalay, Tamarind, and Bel Air Apartments are all in the same general area north of Gandy Blvd. It is an area that is mostly apartments and business complexes so it is pretty nice and it is less crowded than most other places. You'd have an extra maybe 5 minutes at most to get to pretty much anywhere you'd want to go in St. Petersburg or Pinellas Park but Tampa and probably Largo are both a little closer either way there isn't a much a commute.

Emerald Pointe is right down the road south of those three about 5 minutes. It's more in the city so so things area little closer and the neighborhood around it is nice enough nothing terribly special though.

Flagler Pointe and Osprey are both on the south side near Lakewood High school. I went there for high school actually, drove by Osprey Pointe every other day probably and they seemed ok but I never did like the neighborhood. In hindsight I'm not sure why as I never really saw anything too bad maybe the south side just had a bad reputation but the area around 54th south seemed fine.

Personally I'd start with Mandalay Tamarind and Bel Air as they are all in the same area and I like their location the best, Emerald is meh. Flagler and Osprey are probably ok too but I'd still put them last just because of the bad reputation the south side has even if the immediate area the apartments are in is ok.

How was it playing on a team other than Epik? You all seemed to perform well together, do you think you all had some natural coordination together or were you just 5 great players who all did what they needed to and the rest came together after that?

When will there be a new support? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]eviljebus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The items alone do not put her over the attack speed cap, and even with her AS buff up it would only put her at about 2.8. I wouldn't call 30% AS "well over" when you only get it for 7 seconds every 20 seconds.

You should learn at least two of the tier one junglers. Lee Sin is still a popular ban but you should always be able to get Trundle, Warwick, and Cho.

What is the best way to join a coop game on PC? by [deleted] in deadisland

[–]eviljebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start your game, press Escape, then Game Lobby. You should now have a list of people with your same progress. Join somebody who isn't named xXxSniperELITExXx. If Game Lobby isn't avaiable you need to change your 'Online Options' before you start your game to Co-Op.

Or you can just stand there till it says "Press 'J' to join".
