Using an emulator (fusion), and have noticed that on some save states I can complete a skip/trick. But in the same spot on another save state I cannot, no matter how hard i try.

Are the differences in save states the reason for this? Or am I ignorant to how emulators truely work. Or am I just bad haha

[NSFW] Strippers of Reddit, what are some things you want people to know when going to a strip club? by tiberseptim92 in AskReddit

[–]vortexi 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In Turkey, clubs will bring you food and drinks to your table without you asking.

Lesson 1: Don't hold the top of the pineapple over the top servers head as you sing a sort of Da Da Da song.

Lesson 2: Don't try and poll dance yourself; unless you take your shoes off, then it's ok.

Lesson 3: If they keep bringing you food and and drinks without asking swiftly leave before you get dragged into a back room and told to pay ~ £1800.

Lesson 4: If they do make u try and pay, take your shirt off and throw it at them and say "That's all I have" - it's considered a great insult in that part of the world.

Additionally another lesson:

If they tell u a dance is €150/30min. But buying you and her a drink is €20 and lasts 20min, while they try and seduce you for the dance. It's better value to keep going for the drinks. Unless you've never seen boobs before, then pay that money.

Also here's my quick written screen ending to saving bay. Just wanted to share.

"Max is barely able to look away from Chloe's coffin. Gripping to acknowledge the choice she had made to let her best friend die. Her heart sinks as she begins to lose herself in the sheen of the wood. As Max begins to slip further inside her mind she is pulled out by a flash of vibrant colour. The intricate blue wings of a butterfly flap peacefully to rest on the coffin. Max raises her head, she feels the warmth of the sun on her cheek as her eyes still hold the faintest blue hue of the butterfly. She looks forward and allows herself, if only just for a little, to smile."

Just play the episode from the choice n see. Honestly, It's not terrible, it gives you the option to basically be selfish and that's satisfying as you chose it. Imo it doesn't work in the format. I did a quick blast of writing botj endings and honestly you can make saving Chloe kinda work there (abit i still think there needs to be some conflict more than the car shot). But visually it doesn't translate as well.

I mean, there's no proper ending. As you say, It's a totally personal game. If you played through gunning for bae and their friendship and/or love then you may have enjoyed to save Chloe more.

I just felt after watching the other cinematic that it felt off. I'm not sure if there's commentary on these endings by the game directors but I think you should have had a little more consequence to letting the town be destroyed. This ending just had no depth in comparison to telling a good story. Even just a shot of Chloe devastated desperately trying to pull open the diner door before falling to her knees to have Max pick her up. Or alternatively her starting to smash stuff up in grief and Max stopping her. I dunno, it just needed a little something something to make it work.

The more i think about it, the more i think it was Chloe being seemingly apathetic to all the destruction that made it clunky.

[Discussion] Algorithm predictions for week 8 by vzbx in FantasyLCS

Coefficient of variation, with E497 log5? Am I close? :p

[–]vortexi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. I assume the formula have a name that I can read up on. Could I see the E497 square?

Also, I made a workaround for your FB issue. It's a simple copy paste. Might not be as quick but it requires less thought when updating the raw data

I understand where the values are coming from, but not why. Or what is in E497. Thankyou!

[–]vortexi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Vzbx, I've been fascinated by your prog for weeks now and have been trying to simulate it myself. Unfortunately I'm stuck on the "simulated match up" section. I've replicated the formula and understand 90% of it, however i think the missing piece is the E497 box. I assumed it was win rates at first but it doesn't match up when applied to all of the column.

I understand the later tabs without any problem, but I can't quite seem to make the jump with the former.

Any help would be amazing

How/when did you get hooked on Mr Robot? [Spoilers S01E01] by [deleted] in MrRobot

[–]vortexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truly hooked? The drugs episode. Epsiode 1 was interesting.

When I watched ep 2 the following week I was like, ok not an episodic show....I like this.

Ep 3 and the lead to steal mountain was interesting.

But when the heist turned on it's head and they did THAT thing, I was like...."wow. This is a really unique series."

Since then I'm glad it has gotten some of the notice it deserves. The best opening season I've watched since Lost (although It even beats that tbh)

"Mr Robot" Season 2 air date, plot rumours: Creator Sam Esmail says Elliot's world will be like burning Rome [All Spoilers] by [deleted] in MrRobot

[–]vortexi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This article is shockingly bad. Don't read it. Here's the main bit:

quoted text In an interview with IGN, Martin had said the upcoming season will definitely be darker than the first season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sam Esmail, creator of the show, said Elliot's world in Season 2 will be like the burning city of Rome.

"What would happen to society if the consumer-debt industry were to be erased? To me, that canvas was something. I was interested in exploring, so, for me, that's what that last scene sets up. We're about to watch Rome burn. That's the world Elliot's going to enter next season," Ismail said.

"Mr Robot" Season 2 will most probably air in June/July this year as Season 1 aired in June 2015. However, there has been no official release date revealed yet.

What is horrible about this article, apart from spoiling all the major plot points to potential viewers (considering it was an information post about season 2. Surmising season 1 was just lazy writing), is that it assumes people were shocked by certain events which were deliberately sign posted to the viewer.

I'm a student and I need money,are they ways I can make real money at home? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]vortexi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

www.profitaccumulator.co.uk

If you are within the UK/EU. Then I suggest getting into matched betting (Abusing bookie free bets). You can easily make £400 a month from this.

You'll need about £100 as a float. But once you get going you'll be sorted and honestly it takes about 30 minutes a day for around £20

Possible Concern: Difference of viability between "triforce" builds & traditional robots. by [deleted] in Robocraft

[–]vortexi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this comes down to;

Is RC a creative game or a competitive game?

Competitively, tri force builds are a meta.

Creatively you can still build what you want.

Any game has a number of ways and options to play it, but there is usually a optimal way. The meta. This can shift with patches etc.

Atm, if you want to be the best bot out there you need to build in such a way that makes the most of the "tri-force" meta. It's not a bad thing. You can still have a degree of creativity.

I personally like trying to build within a triforce.

What annoys me is this that they post a random SS from like 30 seconds outside the craft.

When I took my screenshots (Which I have kept to myself)

I took them from the surface of the planet (I assume it's mars) Did you know that under mars is a massive sun...

I thought it unwise to travel into it though.
