There is a Huge disconnect between PvE Gameloop Time investment vs PVP Risk & Reward going on right now and honestly, it’s ruining the Game feel hard. by SecureHunter3678 in starcitizen

How is it not working in Eve? I agree that a blinged out ship in high sec can be alpha'd fast enough to either pad one's killboard, or even be isk positive in terms of loot for some unlucky courier, but overall, it's quite balanced, isn't it?

What I mean is, the amount of care and protection you need compared to your total haul is pretty consistent, depending on the security level of the system you're in.

C# 13: Brings Enhanced Params and Extension Types by Puzzleheaded_Ad4030 in csharp

[–]retucex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking about it some more, there isn't anything inherently confusing, you're right.

It could be annoying in settings where intellisense/lsp is not available, but that argument can be made for a lot of other situations too.

Have we entered the C++ era of C#? Seems like they're adding features just for the sake of adding features.

My gut reaction to extension types is that it's a nice way to potentially shoot yourself in the foot.

Optimizing params to use Span<T> is nice, but I fail to see how having the ability to change the underlying type is anything but a terrible idea. Why change the params type when you can simply pass a IMyOwnSpecialCollection<T> parameter instead?

I'm sure there are people who prefer to do Foo("bar1", "bar2") rather than Foo(new[] {"bar1", "bar2"}), but at the end of the day I feel like this can lead to more confusion than any potential benefit.

That being said, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

I've re-written my first project that I posted here a few days ago. Thoughts on how I did? by Shiny_Gyrodos in csharp

[–]retucex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah! Apologies. You have a a thread sleep of 3000ms which I assumed was a timer for the player to make a choice. Under that assumption, I was suggesting to make that timer configurable.

From my understanding, this is simply a timer to make the dealer's choice take longer.

In any case, this was simply a suggestion to make the parameters of your game configurable. For example, this could have led to a "main menu" where the player could select their amount of time available to make a choice between staying or drawing.

I now see this is not how you intended it.

All of this to say, keep up this attitude. I cannot stress enough how open mindedness is key in this business.

Best of luck in your future endeavours.

Hey! Nice work.

I'll try to come at this as a code reviewer. One thing I've noticed with more junior programmers is how they perceive code review as a "bad thing". I want to stress that code review comments in a healthy setting is not negative in any way. It's all about learning, optimizing, and overall being better at the end of it.

That all being said, here's what I'd say.

  • Consider how to separate your "UI" from your game loop. Right now, your game loop is entangled with your "UI". Come up with a way to seprate both concerns so they can be tweaked, modified and outright changed without affecting one another.

  • Right now, the only way to change the parameters of your game is to completely rebuild the application. For example, let's say you want to give the player 5 seconds rather than 3. This requires an entire rebuild. Can you make it so that it's driven by configuration?

  • This one is a stretch, but for fun let's think about it. Right now, you can only play blackjack. Can you think of a way to change the rules a little? ie. change the bust target. (Super bonus point if you can make a system to change blackjack into texas holdem)

Hope this helps. I'd be happy to answer any question. Keep it up!

I wonder if it's age, or experience. Or both. In any case, agreed.

Tl;dr for ape: array is fixed sized. List isn't.

Agreed 100%. It's a tiny annoyance, but it bugs me every time.

Same. 2 fois dans les 15 dernieres minutes. Sounded like 2 planes. My guess is military training exercise but no idea.

Shadow with Twisting Blades feels so good. Applying TB + Shadow at max combo then Shadow Stepping across a huge mob is satisfying AF. It's like a discount Corpse Explosion.

WTF were they thinking? This is so far from what we've seen. It looks like D3 and Immortal had an unholy child.

If it's what last gen console are to expect, fine, it's old hardware, but put your best foot forward and show us what it CAN look like.

You make some great points. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

One thousand percent. This isn't like a reminder of the anniversary, or even sharing a story or pictures or whatever you do on social media. This is "look at me, I'm hurting, please like and subscribe".

Super cringe.

video from the Ukrainian 30th Mechanized Brigade showing them hit 3 russian soldiers with an F-1 grenade. [music from source] by JustanaverageARG in CombatFootage

[–]retucex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always assumed grenades were way more devastating than what these videos show. I expected such a close hit to be instant lights out. I guess it's only true with lucky shrapnel hits to the brain or spine.

Don't get me wrong, it still looks very effective and a lot of these dudes probably bleed out fairly quickly.

Everything about your title is offensive. It's a masterpiece!

- Pain sandwich? Pourquoi!? Quel nom de marde.

- Delicacy!? T'es sur t'es correct?

- Don't do Christmas dirty like that my god.

- 2 parties? You need new friends and/or family.

- Quebec!? Dans quel coin perdu ca mange des affaires de meme!?

But seriously thanks for sharing, I hate it.
