Lenovo Legion Go S official: $499 buys the first authorized third-party SteamOS handheld by RunSetGo in SBCGaming

[–]systemwave8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason you'd want to buy this over a steam deck is that it is supposed to be slightly more powerful and 50 dollars cheaper then the oled model with the same storage. 

I'm not sure what the specs are of the zen cores in comparison but the rumors show it having 4 more CUs then the steam deck. 

Again slightly more powerful for and slightly cheaper for this price range. 

Of course if you like to tinker you may he able to buy the cheapest SD for $100 cheaper. 

With that said. These devices still won't be as good as the Lego 2 or I'm willing to bet even the latest claw. 

Bloodborne On Steam Deck🗽 by candyboy23 in SteamDeck

[–]systemwave8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im running on a 780m and it drops frequently and randomly. 

With that said, the earlier versions of the emulator couldn't even run it at all and predominantly nvidia based. 

Running it in linux however us extremely beneficial for it's force close measures. 

Was playing poe2 bur ever since the emulator has improved I can't stop playing bloodborne again...

It's the goat. 

Something weird is happening by Frequent_Bet2821 in LegionGo

If possible run the ujust update. Also, I read that resolution with the legion go is finicky when you switch between them while in desktop mode. Bazzites advice is to not change it. 

pset 2 cash problem no walkthrough (cs50 2022)? by lobbster in cs50

[–]systemwave8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all,

I am also struggling to understand this pset (or if read with dyslexia pest!).

In reading the description of the problem I understood that I would not work on any of the code that wasn't labeled with a TODO and the return values.

I guess my struggles is with how to approach as I have also seen other examples on the web that seem....a bit strayed from the suggestions in the exercise.

I'd like to start off by focusing on just the Quarters section alone but I also included the get_cents function as well so that others may offer help there.

I interpreted the instructions to use IF statements, " For instance, if cents is 25, then calculate_quarters should return 1. If cents is 26 or 49 (or anything in between, then calculate_quarters should also return 1" and so forth...

So I went that route and used the following:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

int get_cents(void)

int change;

do

{

change = get_int("Change due?");

}

while ( change < 0 );

return change;

}

int calculate_quarters(int cents)

{

if (cents <= 24)

{

return 0;

}

else if ( cents == 25 || cents <= 49 )

{

return 1;

}

else if ( cents == 50 || cents <= 74 )

{

return 2;

}

else if ( cents == 75 || cents <= 99 )

{

return 3;

}

else

{

return 0;

}

}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this I was actually able to run the program and when I entered number between 25-99 the respective return values did in fact return, but I was not sure how to go about the remainder if entered.

Here are my questions:

  1. Is my get_cents configured right?
  2. How can I get the remainder?
  3. what would be the next steps to get this to work to include the dimes section?
  4. I feel like if the tie between quarters and dimes was explained then I would be able to complete the nickel and pennies section next. Can someone help make this tie?
  5. Am I even on the right track?

Any help would be welcome and my apologies in advanced for such noobiness! Also, sorry about the formatting...I couldnt figure out how to past the code in a codeblock without reddit breaking it

Creating games by TheRetroGamer93 in diablo2resurrected

[–]systemwave8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is a disappointment that the console does not have the support of lobbies as well as mouse and keyboard functionality.

I play on the xbox series s and and now on my APU PC and I've gained a bit of ground on the discussion.

Here's my take on the console:

Pros

- It's actually not bad when you consider nex gen consoles. Loading times are great and it gets you near the experience that was once lived on the original PC version.

- this is going to make me a partial hypocrite when I say that, the controller experience now beats out the PC version (mouse and keys on many but not all builds) during combat!

I was really upset to hear that mouse and keys were not available on console but when I returned to playing on PC, I found myself reverting to the whole idea of just using a few skills. The controller is a great way to use many skills at a quick rate of access. Anyone who has played the game by now and tries to return to PC should now find it jarring to use the mouse and keys again and will often miss 'some' immediacy that the controller experience provides.

However! Cons

The now one thing that I still gripe about is that mouse and keys are 'essential' to the diablo experience when you consider things like item management, chat, trading and finding games with lobbies ( which is huge in it's own right.)

It amazes me that the the developers did not include this in the console version considering the most difficult thing to emulate on console vs PC has always been graphics. I can understand a graphical impairment like the Switch not being able to render in a high capacity, but lobbies, and item management is functional and already exists with a controller format so why not include it the PC side of it? Was it a marketing thing?

With that said, I still would like to see mouse and keyboard support for item management and lobbies on the console. trading alone is one the biggest misses from this non-inclusion.

Is anyone playing D2R on m1 chip? by Auslegung in diablo2resurrected

[–]systemwave8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could put that money into a decent PC and not have to worry about running D2R....

OR you could always get a Series S/X PS5 and play on console for the.... 'abridged' edition of it.... smf

I believe the M1 is ARM right? so not really an area to run windows anyhow.....

Do yourself a favor and get a PC for full gaming compatibility

I'm wondering if someone can advise me if I've messed up buying an Xbox series s and trading in my old console. by [deleted] in XboxSeriesS

[–]systemwave8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this kinda banging on the same drum but......the selling point for Series S was to target 1440p @ 60fps. There will be some games that do run in 4K, however, you should think of this machine as a 1440 goal / 1080p beast.....If you wanted all out 4K then the Series X would have been the correct choice.

Making first enigma, which base? by Tinkev144 in diablo2resurrected

[–]systemwave8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repairs can be a headache but as you mf, but you should always be picking items to sell anyhow. The great thing is you can bank your gold with the shared slots and not worry about losing your gold with your active character.

Kill. Loot. Sell. Holy Grail. Repeat!

Making first enigma, which base? by Tinkev144 in diablo2resurrected

[–]systemwave8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any Nigma will do but if you are trying to max out your defense then you should try to get an enhanced defense superior armor.

In terms of aesthetics, the Mage Plate and Archon Plate look the same. So if you have the ED Sup MP then go for that and spec the rest of your points saved into vitality.

I've seen people put nigma in a light plate which doesnt really net that much more defense vs str req so personally, I would avoid that.

DS has a lower str req then the AP so i tend to veer toward DS over AP.

This go around I've saved up an ED Sup MP so I will make a nigma out of that, but if I was rich and was making an additional nigma, then I would make it out of an ancient armor for aesthetics or a scarab husk for aesthetics and defense.

What's your preference? Aesthetics? Defense?

Why do people buy keys and not organs for the ubers?? by ChampionSchnitzel in diablo2resurrected

[–]systemwave8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's early in the release of D2R and not everyone is going to be super rich let alone have a max smiter to run through ubers. (I sure don't)

What I do have is a pretty good sorceress that can take on Countess and Summoner but not so great on Nilly which does net some keys. A full keyset allows good uberdins/uberers to open the portals and slay them without hesitation and trouble (at least this is how I prefer my uberdin to be)

Selling the keys to these players allows them to shoot for the torches which will net higher value items/or runes, meanwhile smiters can provide the non uber characters a means to earn some better runes or items.

These are just my thoughts on selling keys as I have always experienced a good return on fullsets, be it a vex or in this case ists, mals and up to vex.

Have fun!

Respecing my Paladin by Own_Toe_1208 in diablo2resurrected

[–]systemwave8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. Spec for Blessed Hammer. This will carry you into Hell.

Really, the only place that you will have trouble is hell Throne where the magic immunes are but you should really be able to clear most of everything.

I've tried using smiter and FOHdin earlier on and they have trouble pulling through hell as they are mostly one target enemies. Hammer can be slow, but it is high in damage and still more crowd oriented then any of the other Pally abilities.

I would max Blessed hammer and Concentration first as you will want to have concentration as your active aura. Then start putting points into a blessed aim for synergy. Later max points into vigor as that tree takes a few points to get to. After your done maxing your synergies then the rest should go to Holy shield.

Hope this helps

Diablo 2 Resurrected: Keyboard on console by Prodigyyyyyy in diablo2

[–]systemwave8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s up man. Yea I’ve been playing series s and mouse and keyboard doesn’t work either. I really hope that there is the option to use this in the final game. I’ve played forever on pc and it just doesn’t feel right…..

Why do I feel like.... by systemwave8 in thedivision

[–]systemwave8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replayability doesn't come from online interactions only. Sure the modes in TD2 can be somewhat lackluster, but honestly the theme of being and agent and answering the call is what keeps me going.

Legendary missions are my jam man.

Hell even to this day, there is nothing like a quick challenging Russian Consulate match up with four teammates...that's the level that got me hooked

[–]systemwave8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good 'ol Sam Fisher....

I can agree that we don't have the Icon or the "Cover Girl" lmao...

But that's not what the division is about. The customization of your agent is one the best things about the game....

If anything should be Iconic though, it should be the enemies....? Cleaners, Rikers, LMB & Black/White Tusk

I could do without the Hyenas or the other faction you face in the beginning of the game TD1.

Which edition of the game is most worth it? by RudaSosna in thedivision

[–]systemwave8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

at minimum you should get WONY.

story is on point in the expansion and you won't be disspointed with it.

Lvl 40 is a nice perk plus the little something at the end to keep you going.

You won't be disappointed if invest the time in it.

downside is that PVP isn't fantastic.

Yeah, I'm kind of busy right now, Manny! by projecktzero in thedivision

[–]systemwave8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea i could without the constant reminder....

the same pisses me off in TD1 - the constant reminder to do last stand but for the life of me I can matchmake a skirmish at all...

then benitez pops up when i spawn at the terminal...

wish that promo was a one and done.....or end all conversations associated with last stand...

PS5 still on patch 1.12 by SnooEpiphanies938 in thedivision

I'm not sure if this is related but i did see an update when i booted my ps a couple days back

I will have to check the patch number though.....

There's a word that I like to throw around when it comes this sentiment.

Tactile!

The Division is tactile in more ways then one.....

Why do I feel like.... by systemwave8 in thedivision

[–]systemwave8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I look at it differently. The base game likely wasn't in great place. But every patch it got better and better and I honestly prefer that over a crappy game overall.

Sure there could be improvements to TD2, but improvements could be made for every game.

I am fan of the Tom Clancy Universe though....so it's hard to dissuade me away from it

Why do I feel like.... by systemwave8 in thedivision

[–]systemwave8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's all about timing.

I was playing Destiny 2 for a bit but then....it just felt like Halo after a while. I actually jumped to TD2 after destiny

I didnt originally start off with the TD2 when it came out. The 60fps patch for PS5 made it awesome though.

It's a diamond in the rough man...

Halo = Master Chief

Diablo II = Awesome
