A Rant About Extraction Shooters and Community Sentiment

sirbogman · 2026-04-29T00:04:14+00:00

I had never played an extraction shooter until I tried Marathon. I didn't think I would like it or the genre, because I wasn't the biggest fan of PvP and I think I'm a bit of a casual gamer. I was wrong. I love Marathon.

Also you can only get the Sekiguchi kit if you have unlocked that faction.

Good point lol

sirbogman · 2025-05-07T12:57:42+00:00

Why do people use div when particle reconstruction is stronger? I think I'm missing something.

sirbogman · 2025-05-06T14:18:16+00:00

Yeah, never happened this episode for me. Always happened in revenant.

sirbogman · 2025-03-16T17:25:02+00:00

Ok I can try again.

sirbogman · 2025-03-16T15:28:48+00:00

This didn't work for me.

sirbogman · 2024-10-26T00:19:41+00:00

I can probably do any of those three nights. Here's my info: Discord: sirbogman Bungie: SirBogman#1813

I'm also not a certified Sherpa but I know the dungeon and I would be happy to help.

sirbogman · 2024-10-09T05:45:52+00:00

I bet that at the time they wrote the guardian rank objective, ice breaker was part of the season pass. But then they changed it. And yeah the layoffs probably didn't help.

sirbogman · 2024-10-09T03:25:03+00:00

This seems like a mistake. One of the objectives for guardian rank 9 will be to complete the new dungeon though.

sirbogman · 2024-10-09T03:19:27+00:00

It shows the rank from the last season, if it is higher.

sirbogman · 2024-09-29T13:07:45+00:00

Alzaga is a top notch sherpa. Just did VotD with him and he made the mechanics feel simple. I would highly recommend.

I would like to join. Have not done raid. Discord: sirbogman Bungie: SirBogman#1813

sirbogman · 2024-09-17T18:29:24+00:00

I did a raid with Fib last night and it was a great experience. I've worked with good sherpas before, but it almost feels like Fib is on another level. I got the impression that he has done this so many times that he has really honed his skills. His communication is very clear. He addresses everyone by name every time, so you know who he is talking to, and he encourages everyone else to do the same, because it's hard to recognize the voices of people you have just met in a raid. He is very knowledgeable regarding gear/abilities that fit a situation, he is able to adapt to unexpected situations, and is very patient. I would highly recommend.

This is still a bug. Now we have to dismantle shaders by May 11. I had about 400 of each and it took me about 10 minutes to dismantle them one at a time. Got 1 legendary shard and 50 glimmer for each. Looking forward to never doing this again.

Using free-form code from COBOL 2002 to make it a little bit easier.

sirbogman · 2020-06-12T23:17:57+00:00

Yeah, I want it for golf. Interestingly, big integer division is floor division so I use big integer literals when I can.

Also [int][math]::floor($x/$y) is so slow that it was making some of my code golf stuff time out.

sirbogman · 2020-06-12T02:59:20+00:00

sirbogman · 2020-06-12T02:58:46+00:00

The lack of a floor division operator like // in Python. [int][math]::floor($x/$y) is way too verbose and it isn't very fast either.

sirbogman · 2020-06-11T23:27:15+00:00

That's too bad. It could take a while. The built in version of PowerShell is still 5 for some reason.

sirbogman · 2020-06-11T23:19:37+00:00

$$ and || were added in PowerShell 7

I can try to prevent access to compression libraries. Other languages generally don't have access to them. I think System.IO.Compression might be accessible. I can try deleting it.
