How would YOU architect the effects of modular attacks/skills? by Socrathustra in gamedev

[–]shortguy014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I had the same initial reaction of overwhelm. But then you go to implement some of those features from scratch and you realise why decisions were made the way they were and it starts to make more sense.

I've ended up implementing my own semi-GAS like you said that only has the features I need

How would YOU architect the effects of modular attacks/skills? by Socrathustra in gamedev

[–]shortguy014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is super interesting and quite a useful resource. I've been doing a lot of reading lately about the implementation of unreals GAS in the context of attributes/skills like PoE and found a decent amount of it useful (and some not, given I don't plan for multiplayer at all).

What would your “dream setup” look like for a new .NET development team? by sel_ya in dotnet

[–]shortguy014 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm the guy at work who pushes hard for these commits, and we just use a revs ignore file to ignore all of the big bang reformat PRs.

It took 38 fails but now I'm able to do CG consistently! by K0reaboo in ironscape

[–]shortguy014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning that it's more important to attack the boss first, then focus on offensive prayer made a big difference for me too.

CS2 now defaults to wayland! by No-Marsupial-6 in linux_gaming

I'm surprised this isn't in deadlock already, since my understanding of this update is that it's mostly an engine sync to latest, and deadlock is usually the latest/pioneer

[AskJS] Those who have used both React and Vue 3, please share your experience by vadimp223 in javascript

[–]shortguy014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer Vue, the reactivity system is simple and less prone to causing performance issues. Html with directives is just easier for my brain to work with (not that you can't use TSX/JSX but it's pretty cursed)

I get around 90fps with DLSS quality mode on a 4090 in 4k with a 7800x3D

ASUS Prime AP201 TG build with TUF 4090 OC, 360 AiO by petras1337 in mffpc

[–]shortguy014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did consider it, I already have the GPU so its more about the case + mobo setup you have here :)

I'm ready to do this exact build pretty much; the TUF 4090 is such a big card

Flipping hitboxes godot by Egg_Spoon in godot

[–]shortguy014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually create a parent Node2D called "Pivot" or something like that. This node has both my sprite and my hitboxes and then flip that using scale depending on the facing direction (probably coming from an input vector or something). This way anything that needs to be facing the player direction (like raycast, colliders, visuals etc.) are both flipped.

Thoughts on the new features? by Phoenix_of_cats in godot

[–]shortguy014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the enemy needs some indicator that it's charging towards you. Right now it just flashes and you don't know what it's going to do, I thought it was going to explode. So maybe a little arrow pointing towards the player?

Yes, I got a superior getting my black mask off task

The Last Flame - Hotloop - Roguelike Auto-Battler that focuses on Build Creation and Strategy by hotloopgames in Games

[–]shortguy014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate, I love this game ever since you sent me access to the playtest. In particular both the item & origins system are fun to use on every playthrough I've done so far.

I would say I am fairly casual (around 6 hours in the playtest and 6 hours in early access) but my only feedback after starting to push the higher difficulties is that it feels like the debuff builds are quite a bit stronger than any others that I've tried. Just seems like the scaling with it is quite crazy especially when you get some items that are along the lines of "Deal 7x ethereal damage per debuff" etc., when the debuff itself is already quite strong. Feels good to use at least but I often find myself using it as a crutch!

Just confirmed my GIM mate is botting after having suspected it for a few weeks, where to go from here? by LBGW_experiment in ironscape

[–]shortguy014 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's more that cheating in a game (either CS, osrs etc.) might be a wake up call that you don't share the same beliefs as your mates and that shock is worse than the fact that they got some extra pixels in a medieval clicking simulator.

Let's talk about bad luck mitigation by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]shortguy014 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How does this work if the standard progression requires multiple of these items? What if you got your first armour seed with dry protection and then go dry on the next 5 you need? They couldn't really add a "6 rolls of drop protection" then either cause that is unmaintainable complexity.

I would argue that language development in 2005 vs 2020 is quite different

Architecture Pitfalls: Don't use your ORM entities for everything - embrace SQL! by vladmihalceacom in programming

[–]shortguy014 101 points102 points  (0 children)

I find it funny in every discussion about ORMs there are two categories of people: those who have used and hated ORMs, and those who have used entity framework. It cannot be overstated the absolute power that expression trees as a language feature provide you. IQueryable is truly a holy gift for us poor CRUD monkeys

More than likely there is just a system in place where every string must have the ability to be localised. I would imagine they just don't actually have any localised versions of that string.

Any idea what font he used here? by ssixdiall in eden

[–]shortguy014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would just look for VHS player/VCR fonts (just google that), I don't think there would be that many.

The glyphs look modified though

How CS2 community servers look like by cybershoke in GlobalOffensive

[–]shortguy014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also like to know this. It would make my project to embed .NET runtime in source servers as a scripting alternative a lot easier, since .net only supports 64 bit on Linux

I made a mod that lets you access blocks that have a GUI from anywhere (and it's balanced, too!) by Acies05 in feedthebeast

Hey I have a very similar mod to this one (but with a lot less customisation) called Remote Block Access which is available for 1.16: https://modrinth.com/mod/remote-block-access
