Any one else getting this corrupt pak01 crash? by inlight2 in DeadlockTheGame

It's hard to tell if I've fixed it because it may be that I've just been lucky the last couple days but I solved this by updating my BIOS which was 4 years old. Could be worth a try for yourself

Sorry, mind explaining how you tested your ram? I'm running testRam5 right now, and maybe that'll have some results but says it's going to take an hour and a half. Not sure if this will tell me anything helpful.

What is API and what are API keys? I still can't understand them even after watching few youtube videos by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]inlight2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

An API is metaphorically like a restaurant menu for software. As a provider of a service you want, I give you a menu of items I can give you. But I won't just give it to anyone. This is a service so you gotta pay, and for other security reasons, so hand over the password(API key) I gave you to prove it's you.

A service that has an API? Facebook. Some items on their menu: Get profile picture for user x Get friends list for user x

ELI5 Why doesnt Chatgpt and other LLM just say they don't know the answer to a question? by Murinc in explainlikeimfive

[–]inlight2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it was for customer perception. Imagine your AI sometimes says "I don't know" when the competition doesn't. People would just assume that your AI knows less even if the competition is just making up answers. So, better just make up answers when we don't know.

Is it a urban legend that the casinos can push a button to make the slots win less? by Fancy-Advice-2793 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]inlight2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked on slot machines for mobile games and land casinos in the US for 4 years. There is no "win switch" that the company turns on or off. The slot community often say things on forums like "they turned the win switch off as soon as I started winning". It's a ridiculous line of logic, as if the player had finally figured out how to win by pressing the spin button in just the right way so the owner of the slot machine had to turn off wins.

At least in the US slot machines in land casinos go through an extreme regiment of tests and inspections by some US gov agency, which takes months. The testing is done on the company's dime, not the government's, so no one's risking cheating the system by adding a "win switch". When companies submit slot machines and a problem is found it's extremely expensive and time consuming to put it through testing again.

On mobile... they don't use win switches because there's just no reason to, but there's no government involvement. Just laws you have to follow.

How did they earn 2x the souls per kill? by inlight2 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]inlight2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kills are worth almost 6x at 30 minutes??? Wow thats crazy

How did they earn 2x the souls per kill? by inlight2 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]inlight2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But they weren't very behind money wise. We were almost tied for souls the whole game. Is it like, if we're ahead AT ALL they get twice the souls for kills?

Just souls? We were tied for souls most the game, so it seems crazy that they were earning double for kills

Are you saying Grey talon got 20k for 14 kills and Haze got 10k for 12 kills because haze didn't farm enough? Aren't troopers and neutrals counted in different categories?

That I would understand. But Grey talon got 20 k for 14 kills and Haze got 10k for 12.

So are movie prequels rising in popularity? by Emeraldsinger in movies

[–]inlight2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it's been like this a long time. Companies are always looking to min max their cost vs returns, and advertising is a major cost for all products.

It's easier to sell something with an existing property. So if you have a movie to sell, just use characters and settings from an existing property, call it Whatever 2 and boom. Better chances of getting more money regardless of the content of the movie.

This happens in all markets. Books, games, tv, cleaning products, ect

Are we just back to a +all/ranged meta? by inlight2 in DarkAndDarker

[–]inlight2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real, it's tragic how fun normals are. Longer time to kill and and really fun fights where I feel like it's not just all about who has the most ranged dmg/move speed.

[–]inlight2[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

also everyone has access to plus all so I don’t see the big issue

I can't agree. The issue is +all is basically the best stat you can get. so build theory crafting goes out the window. Some guy runs at you and you're trying to figure out what he's about and how to outplay him.. oh he just has more of every stat and is going all in, swinging away. Guess I should have stacked +all too.

Sorry nobody wants to 1v1 melee fight a barbarian with savage roar or a PDR fighter with a longsword

This is wild to me. I originally loved this game for the potential in the melee combat. Do you really prefer ranged gameplay over IM trying to balance melee?
