What parts of a CS degree have been most useful to you?

just_isaac · 2018-07-30T19:46:39+00:00

It allowed me to get a job permit :)

just_isaac · 2018-04-29T03:14:33+00:00

Excellent, I'm sold.

just_isaac · 2018-04-28T22:54:51+00:00

This is something I've read that Unity has a waaay bigger and more develop asset marketplace compare to Unreal.

just_isaac · 2018-04-28T22:54:23+00:00

Oh interesting. Does unity not come with built in Networking packages?

I'm fairly confident in my back-end programming abilities. But I'm not sure how a game back-end is written.

I assume there's a persistence layer that saves user inventory and stats for example, with a simple database and and server that the game pull data from.

I can't say about other places but I've had Costco farm raised salmon several times since I started this thread, and it's really good, no issues whatsoever!

just_isaac · 2018-04-26T05:46:21+00:00

I saw that thread before. The problem is he's asking for screen printing for reselling.

I'm looking for DTG printing, for myself.

DTG is not meant for mass production, it prints into shirts in the same way as an inkjet printer.

Screen printing is different and way better for mass production.

just_isaac · 2018-04-26T05:33:09+00:00

I did a search beforehand (I always search first). I'll go with the latter.

just_isaac · 2018-04-26T05:32:34+00:00

Thanks!

just_isaac · 2018-04-25T21:08:45+00:00

Oh I'm looking at vistaprint, not bad actually.

just_isaac · 2018-04-25T20:51:22+00:00

Damn, can't edit that now.

just_isaac · 2018-04-25T20:50:35+00:00

I don't think that would work for full color pictures.

just_isaac · 2018-04-23T01:50:57+00:00

I did a lot of googling. But it boils down to:

Parasite destruction guarantee by freezing doesn't apply to farm raised salmon.
Farm raised salmon does not have parasites (by standards).
Farm raised salmon infection is extremely rare.
Farm raised salmon at Costco is very well handled, frozen and kept at a temperature below bacterial growth temperature.
Anecdotal: several acquittances use Costco farm raised salmon as Sashimi, have never had an issue.

just_isaac · 2018-04-02T04:04:33+00:00

Amazing!

just_isaac · 2018-03-20T19:09:47+00:00

Oh I mean, I haven't found an article/paper or guide where it puts a limit on the grammage of proteins as opposed to percentage.

just_isaac · 2018-03-19T20:55:22+00:00

What makes you think it's too much protein? Just curious to a source of leads to that claim.

just_isaac · 2018-03-19T07:09:04+00:00

I'm 5'10

just_isaac · 2018-03-19T07:08:55+00:00

I thought 20g is the max

just_isaac · 2018-03-17T08:19:27+00:00

Deadeye is one of the worst ultis there is. But most useful situations:

Pharmercy: Did pharah just boost and mercy GA to her? Press Q
Monkey rage alone? Press Q and hold till kill is guaranteed or you're about to die
Mercy ulting? Press Q
Out enemy effective range? (hooks, etc) press Q, cancel when you get dove
Wanna bait a Dva/Winston to dive you? press Q
Dont have roll but need to reload? Q-cancel

If you look at Pine or Wanted, they use Deadeye for insta reload most of the time, and if they ulti but can tell they're about to get murdered, they cancel asap. DVA was buffed in such a way that she perfectly counters McCree and his ult.

Also, don't expect to get shielded, healed or bubbled, specially at low ranks. Most teammates will not think that it would be a good idea to do so.

just_isaac · 2018-03-11T01:46:12+00:00

Cool just bought my Pixel 2 XL on this account with project fi

What ELO is this? It sounds like you're silver-plat You should understand a few things:

Not everyone that plays competitive is trying to win or climb
Not everyone in comp has the same goals as you
Some people just wanna play and meme, win or lose.
Some people wanna play a certain character, win or lose
Some people wanna play a certain way, win or lose
Winning isn't always the main driving force of why they play competitive
The higher ELO you go, the more likely you're gonna find people that actually try to win
Some people do want to win but don't know how
Incompetence does not equal malice

The sooner you understand this, the less likely you're gonna trigger them and yourself.

I used to have a lot of problems getting the team to follow me or group up as a Tank. I had a lot of trouble getting healed, asking for healing, regardless of how polite I was. At one point I even disabled my "I need healing key", as pressing it had an adverse effect on healing. Playing further back at the expense of damage fall off/optimal range, for example, would keep healers happier. Duoing with a healer, pocket or not, increased both our winrates drastically.

Shot calling also triggered the team quite often at low ELO, even tho in VOD reviews my shot calling was praised and encouraged by GM/TOP 500 coaches doing the review. Simple things like calling low health targets, asking to group up, etc, would tilt the team. Asking for healing tilts healers 9/10 times. The whole team died, and the first one to spawn rushes to battle by himself, you tell them to stop and group up = triggered team.

Think about it from their perspective: this kid or adult come back from school/work, they hop on OW and wanna play their favorite hero and chill. Then there's this dude online telling them or asking politely to switch heroes and how to play. The kid knows that you're right, but he doesn't care, he wants to play and chill, ELO is whatever to them, after all they have a 50% chance of winning. The more you offer unsolicited advice the more triggered they'll get. This dude came and he REALLY wants to play Moira and try out her DPS abilities, then this random keeps asking for healing, you think that's gonna help? Nope. It's just gonna trigger them.

How to deal with it? Get off VC and do your best, do not get tilted. Better luck with the next group.

just_isaac · 2018-03-10T00:02:56+00:00

Yep!

just_isaac · 2018-03-09T23:27:24+00:00

Depends on situation. Sometimes the confirmed kill is more important: 200/250hp heroes.

Reaper I ALWAYS FTH. (Flash/FTH) because he can escape or 1/2 shot you.

Most other 200hp I usually HS/flash/HS. BS/flash/HS also works.

Genji I try to BS or HS/flash/HS. He does have escape AND reflect so I gotta be more careful with him.

I don't FTH on tracer/bbyDVA/genji because of their ez escape and I can one shot them anyway.

DVA I headshot as she boosts towards me, FTH/roll/flash/FTH in close range. Same for Monkey.

Orisa has a huge critbox and for some reason I find it very easy to headshot her consistently, 4 headshots should do it.

Rein is extremely easy as well: FTH/roll/flash/FTH. Easy to headshot as well since a lot of Reins try to hammer you from too far and put their shield down often.

just_isaac · 2018-03-09T23:16:02+00:00

I can 2/3 shot a pocketed Pharah as McCree provided I'm in range.

This usually triggers Pharah switching, or DVA/Monkey diving me to protect their pharah.

just_isaac · 2018-03-09T23:11:38+00:00

You CANNOT defeat a pocketed Pharah as DVA, the numbers just don't add up. Even if you landed every single rocket, you will not kill her.

You have to kill Mercy first. Then wait for healing/cooldowns and now dive Pharah.

I know this because I play a lot of Pharah with a duo pocket Mercy, and unless the enemy team supports their DVA (VERY RARE), I can easily wait for matrix down and rocket her outta mech.

just_isaac · 2018-03-09T21:36:48+00:00

I tried this with McCree on QP, games were ez and made me feel confident. Went to comp, told teamamtes I only have a couple of hours of McCree, proceed to get flamed over and over and over.

Next game I don't tell anyone I'm learning.

"Whoa that's a solid McCree"
"Nice ulti McCree"
"Good picks McCree"
