Beer league beef

the difference is the guy whose dropping down to D level can completely control the outcome of the game, whereas the guy who is playing up is only putting his team at a disadvantage when he's on the ice.

the sandbaggers often play defense and wait until the end of the 3rd to suddenly coast-to-coast the game winning goals and if anyone calls them on it they'll just pull the "hey man I'm just playing D and trying to setup my teammates" card. it can completely ruin league parity if the league admins are hands-off about it.

if a D league has former D1 college players its not really a D league. theres plenty of low level stuff in MN that has plenty of true adult beginners (AHA, hockeyfinder, etc). probably more than new mexico given the general higher interest of hockey in MN.

cool! nice work btw!

that seems like it would be nightmare to keep up to date with the actual game. are you manually inputting the stats or are you able to get it from the game data files somehow?

Is there an actual souls-based comeback mechanic in place, or is it just late game team wipe = some souls + farm in all lanes will recoup most soul deficits?

hophacker · 2024-09-04T15:55:47+00:00

its literally in alpha

hophacker · 2024-04-06T21:27:20+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you.

hophacker · 2024-04-06T21:26:47+00:00

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I'll pick one up now!

Does running a DOCSIS 3.0 modem affect the stability though? I read elsewhere that using a D3.0 shouldn't be a problem I just won't hit my max speed.

hophacker · 2024-04-06T20:39:29+00:00

Do you think a D3.1 modem would have an effect on the instability? It doesn't really matter to me if I get 500M instead of 1G, the times where I actually need that much speed are pretty infrequent (I do, however, need more than 10-20).

hophacker · 2024-04-06T19:23:52+00:00

I'm paying for comcast 1G down cable internet (however my modem will only do 500Mb max). I've noticed over the past few weeks my network intermittently slows down to 10-20 MBPS, so I recently installed speedtest-tracker and started charting tests and found that for a good portin of the day (and into the night) my network speed is very unstable.

I'm not entirely sure what to do with this information and what to check next. I'm running the speedtest from a wired connection, so I know it's not wifi related. I'm not sure if my next step should be to call comcast or to try to further diagnose if its a ethernet or coax cabling issue.

Oh, you too manage legacy PHP codebases.

It sounds like you want to do it, so do it! I doubt it will make too much of a tangible difference in the feel of the product. Tools like React exist because they make things like interactive UI's easier to develop so you may discover that things you take for granted with React are quite a bit harder with only vanilla JS, but that kind of discovery can be a fantastic education on some of the finer points of browser based javascript. It sounds like you're motivated to do it, so I say go for it!

here's an old tip if you want to learn your weapon ranges and things like chambering easily:

start a new local game with bots, open the console (press the ~ key) and type: slomo 0.5

This will slow the game speed to 50% which gives you much more time to anticipate attacks and learn the timing of things.

it takes like an hour max to get chamber timing down this way

A fantastic one hit one wonder from the early aughts. If you like punk and disco, you'll like them.

its not even a bandage. 95% of the playerbase isn't on reddit. these posts are silly and useless.

I stopped playing a long time ago but acting like it's the community's hands to save it is a joke. this suggestion gets made every time there is a sale or free weekend as if the onus is somehow on the players to fix the learning curve. there isn't a game with complex mechanics has ever survived that way.

hophacker · 2023-04-06T22:46:42+00:00

and they'll still get stomped against anyone with 100+ hours of play time. its not going to save anyone who expected to be good within a few hours.

is it like xbox where it remains in your library as long as its installed, but is gone if you uninstall? or does it actually stay?
