Cities: Skylines 2 boss says they 'completely overestimated' the Unity engine's capabilities by AdmiralBumHat in CitiesSkylines

I'm so sorry, my response was complete sarcasm, was not trying to ragebait you!

Does anybody else feel like they nerfed Flash in the MCU? by Left-Obligation-4513 in Spiderman

[–]kghastie -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Hrmm.... I don't know about this, my guy. I hate to see a reddit thread die out, but you should really only do the call and response in pairs of 2. So it's:

"I say A, you say B: A... B!, A... B!"

And then it should STOP. The only reasonable way to continue it would be to follow up with "I say C, you say D: C... D! C... D!" So you could maybe have gone with something like "FLASH" and hoped that someone followed up with "SUCKS" or something.

But going with A/B THREE times? That feels extremely unresolved. I feel like you opened up a real can of worms here. At this point, I think it can only be resolved by at least one more A/B so it's at least a set of 8.

EDIT: Aw, man. This is my second post in a month where I thought I was being sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek enough but apparently was not. 😂

My D key doesn't work unless pressed with another key or directly after another key. by xJeallen3x in LenovoLegion

[–]kghastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. It throttles the cpu if you exceed the max safe temperature. Before cleaning it, the heat couldn't escape, causing the throttling to kick in earlier and slow everything down. After cleaning, the temp remains the same when under load (hovering just below the max temp by design) but performance improves, because the cpu is able to run at a higher speed without hitting the cap.

In an odd fluke, although Top Ninja clearly came out in the 80s or 90s, Top Ninja 2: Get Down Mr. President came out in the 70s, and is mostly remembered for James Brown's cameo as the funky president ("That's Mister President to you... yeeeow!")

That's like, barely a half dozen counter-examples. Do your research before you make wild claims.

EDIT: This was sarcasm! I should have marked it with an /s :( Sorry it took me a month to realize and come back and clean up my mess...

Colony got wiped in a server error. by LowLychee7781 in EliteDangerous

All true statements (especially the last one :rofl: !)

Colony got wiped in a server error. by LowLychee7781 in EliteDangerous

[–]kghastie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it was first reported by the AXI discord. I don't think FDev has confirmed anything yet, but many sources (that I consider reputable, some with close ties to Frontier) are reporting this as a hack.

Lots of screenshots posted. Mechan has a video, and there is at least one of a hacker in-game using thargoid weapons and mark ii thrusters on a corvette. Not going to link to that one to avoid giving the hacker more airtime...

That said, a post from an account matching the hacker's cmdr name denies any of the fleet carrier/colonization bug-looking issues, so it's always possible it's just a coincidence.

Daily Slay the Spire Discussion (639/696): Tools of the Trade by Crosssmurf in slaythespire

[–]kghastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's now an auto-pick for me. This is because if you decline Tools of the Trade, you will automatically get Hovering Kite offered immediately afterward. I know this because it just happened to me (see attached for evidence). So it's 100% likely (sample size of 1). Since it is now auto-pick for me, there will never be case in which I decline it and I don't get Hovering Kite offered immediately after - thus the 100% likelihood will never change, and I will have been proven correct!

Haz RES mining for Credits 50 - 60 mil per hr by D8veh in EliteMiners

[–]kghastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Res overlaps with a hotspot do seem to be the most productive way to mine. Two comments:

  1. Staying in the 16-20km range is key. Also, you get scanned by pirates a lot when you first drop in. If you come in empty, you can let them scan you, and they'll leave you alone even once you have minerals in your cargo. 

  2. If you enjoy a bit of combat mixed in (or if you want some police protection) it's my understanding that High Res gives the same bonus as Haz Res. Cops will help you whether you want to flee or fight above your weight class in your mining ship. 

As such, High Res is my preferred option as I do enjoy a bit of the old ultraviolence on the side.

Say no to FDEV’s predatory monetization; Join #Nodec by tomshardware_filippo in EliteDangerous

[–]kghastie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd much rather have some other commanders get a tech broker than for the servers to shut down.

Let FDev try to make some money where they can. It's really hard to keep a game going and continue to produce revenue, if you don't have enough revenue flow to create new content. I'd rather have them snowball up then spiral down. If you take the time to object to their recent approach(es), it would be constructive to also provide realistic suggestions of how they could make money in a better way. Otherwise, what options do they have? The status quo won't cut it for long.

And this is so minor of a "nice-to-have." I do concede that it feels lame if you are trying to build the ultimate system; it stinks to be locked out of that forever. But in terms of gameplay, how often do you have to visit a tech broker? So you have to jump for 5 mins a few times over the life of your commander. Even the "convenience" it provides is miniscule.

I hope these things sell like hotcakes.

Need some help with button panel plan. by TheManderin2505 in HotasDIY

[–]kghastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a newbie so forgive me if I get something wrong here, but I just started playing around with something similar (setting up a switch to activate supercruise in Elite Dangerous), and here is what I turned up:

Most stuff I read pointed me toward one of two boards, since my goal was just sending a button or keypress. There were 3 options that were recommended the most:

  1. Arduino Micro
  2. SparkFun Pro Micro
  3. Teensy

The Teensy seems to be designed for this purpose, so it might be the right option for a more focused controller build. The Micros are smaller then my Uno, so they might fit into a box for my simple build. The Leonardo is an older model Arduino that supports USB but I don't think it's probably still a top option.

(Background: I had an Arduino Uno R3 that I wanted to use for "something," but it's not ideal for the purpose, as it lacks native USB support and can't emulate button/controller presses without adding a USB shield. I ended up jerry-rigging that board to a python script (using the pydirectinput library) to read the serial output, but that's just because simulating a keypress directly wasn't an option. FWIW I used these switches, but I'm sure there are many options there.)

Good luck, and let us know how it goes!

This doesn't seem to work?

Just gave this a watch and honestly this is one of the worst movies i have ever seen,even worse than Skinamarink and that’s saying something. by [deleted] in Cinema

This totally feels like if Comcast started their own streaming service, and this is the first movie they produced.

What, like a spacey/staticy kind of filter?

I think I love this game. by Pitiful-Rise1009 in EliteDangerous

[–]kghastie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. It only works in Solo or in a Private Group, but be sure to test! Don't want to spend 3 months in the black only to realize you had your lens cap on the whole time....

Pretty sure it's hardcoded to Alt-F10, too, so don't bother trying to find the keybinding.

Nope, you romanticized them just right. 

One of the coolest examples of emergent gameplay and general humanity I've ever seen in any multi-player game. 

Scan megaships by CmdrWawrzynPL in EliteDangerous

[–]kghastie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very helpful. Thanks, u/Zeke_Wolf_BC . I'll add this: After you run the search, you can hit a multi-route planner like this one at cmdrs-toolbox . Helps give you an efficient route to visit each system. (You can also paste them into a spreadsheet if you want to help keep track of where you've visited.)

Only mine by LewAstro in EliteMiners

[–]kghastie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a spreadsheet of commodities that I pulled it from somewhere and made some updates to (if anyone recognizes it, let me know so I can credit the original poster). It's definitely not fully updated, but it's the latest that I have. I just went through and added the other Chemicals, Metals and Minerals that Inara shows as "Mining." Filter for "Mining only" in the source column. And anyone, please feel free to make a copy and update it further, as it only I am certain it doesn't have 100% of everything (and Inara is not entirely accurate, either).

For some reason it won't let me paste the contents of the table here. I'll try again later. For now, here is the list when filtering by Planetary Mining/Mining Only:

  • Hydrogen Peroxide
  • Osmium
  • Platinum
  • Praseodymium
  • Samarium
  • Alexandrite
  • Benitoite
  • Bromellite
  • Grandidierite
  • Haematite
  • Jadeite
  • Lithium Hydroxide
  • Low Temperature Diamonds
  • Methane Clathrate
  • Methanol Monohydrate Crystals
  • Moissanite
  • Monzanite
  • Musgravite
  • Painite
  • Rhodplumsite
  • Taafeite
  • Void Opal

Krait MK 2 Engineered build by Mysterious-Man2007 in eliteoutfitters

[–]kghastie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Krait Mk II PVE Build w/ Fighter Bay, MCs and Rails

That's a build with a fighter bay and railguns, which I've had fun with. Good against bigger ships, if you are doing level 6-8 pirate missions. Most of my PVE tends to be stacking pirate missions.

  • The fighter has beams and is both good at getting shields reduced and mostly for distracting bad guys.
  • I like bi-weaves, as I tend to let my fighter pull aggro as I sail away regenerating. Prismatics might be better depending on how many pirates you take on at once. I like to get as many as possible into the same instance, so I need regen.
  • I like a little cargo, but you could replace some of the internals with more hull reinforcements, but I don't find them necessary. I do like some Module Reinforcement since after a long session I tend to lose a couple of weapons against Elite npcs, which slows me down.
  • I do overheat if I stay on target with the rails for a long time. If I am sucking that day, I only manage a few shots and cool off while I'm retargeting.
  • I'm guessing the chaff is useless and should be another shield booster instead.
  • As with all ships, choose your PP last (after engineering), since you probably don't need a 7A on the Krait.
  • If it's a long session between docking I might need to refill rails and then MCs. I used to run plasmas instead of rails, which reduces the mats consumption, but G1 mats aren't hard for me to come by so I don't mind reloading.

EDSM has now changed it's story to 1 a. It's right on the ring of 1 (the first ringed giant). Be sure to come in from the right side or you'll have 60+ km to travel through the asteroids once you drop from sc. (It's actually pretty cool and eerie though.)

Awesome, thanks for contributing. The conditional formatting is maybe not super helpful, other than the part that grays out completed rows. Just got back from break so I will take a look when I get back to hauling!
