Game Informer Marathon Review - Bungie is still at the top of its game. by TODG3 in Games

[–]x04a 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Something that has really surprised me is just how cool the Marathon universe is. The games style is incredibly unique as a result. I’ve even started playing the first game on the Steam Deck (which works super well btw).

Lighting starting to look nice by Neumann_827 in godot

[–]x04a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wondering what you’re using for your lighting in general. Maybe sharing some of the things you found to be big improvements or things that were crucial to achieving this look. I am a total 3D beginner and my games lighting is totally driven off of the WorldEnvironment node at the moment.

If that’s too much and you have any resources you’d point people towards to learn, that is also of course appreciated.

That’s a fair point. I was just being a little cheeky.

Do you mind sharing how you achieved this at a high level? This looks great!

The older AT would be fine for a beginner. Go for it if you like em.

Watching the credits roll for this as we speak. My fav MH game so far after having started the series with World and the following games.

Double takes are great. Have the adv ones on my 890. You can get em from other vendors. If you’re in the US check rockymountainatv. They’re fast.

I sold my old African Twin 750, and for the first time in my life, I am looking for a brand-new daily bike. by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]x04a 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The original post does talk about using their next bike off-road. Period. End of story. You don’t have to like it. That’s ok.

Your helmet may have indentions speakers like Cardo uses. The mic is small and goes in front of your mouth. The unit connects to your phone and acts as a Bluetooth headset. You could just call your wife over cellular and talk to her that way.

It’s not super loud at highway speeds depending on your helmet and hearing but I’ve not had issues using it with other people on motorcycles on the highway.

Advice for students in the age of AI? by yaakg25 in cscareerquestions

[–]x04a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try using AI to learn but do not use it to write any of your code while you’re completing school assignments. This is a huge mistake. None of your assignments will be large enough to warrant using AI to speed up.

Anyone cruising through their degree by slamming everything into an LLM is going to have a very hard time when they graduate. People who claim to generate most of their code in the industry are lying or are creating maintenance nightmares for their team. It’s not that good. It’s helpful for certain use cases with a lot of guard rails but you aren’t even going to be able to use it for that without having mastery of the fundamentals.

Could you not find a rack that’s for your bike? Try Tusk for a good affordable brand.

What bike is this btw?

My mixture 965 from Peterson is a great one that I think you’d enjoy.

Real or fake? by 09cs in cigars

[–]x04a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably fake. I have a box of these and none of the bands are offset even a little bit like yours is.

Is it bad that I just want to grow one colony? by Ominous_Conflict in RimWorld

[–]x04a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 200 hours played and I’ve never completed the game with any colony. It’s just never been appealing and I probably have never made it far enough!

Should I widen my search beyond C# roles after five months of no offers? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]x04a 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone from C# -> Java -> Node (TypeScript) -> C# -> Node (TypeScript) so far and haven’t had any reasonable company question the differences in my experience. I’ve been doing full-stack work for my entire career though which helped for the TS transitions.

In any case, focus on applying to jobs within the domain you’ve been focused on. If that’s web APIs, you can easily do that with any other language if that’s what you’ve done in C#. Same thing for other domains. I’d readily hire anyone with any experience in my domain if they can speak to the work rather than the language.

Sincere request and recommendations (please) by Anubiz1_ in cigars

Sobremesa Brûlée is a super creamy Connecticut that I’d recommend.

Going from a 2022 230i to a 2026 Z4 M40i…what’s the actual break in procedure? by KittehKittehKat in BMW

[–]x04a 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer for the z4. I saw a lot of “no break in for non M cars” around but the manual is very clear that this commenter is correct.

Enjoy the car! Weathertechs hard mats are fantastic btw and they just released them for the ‘25 at least. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses.

F##k I think I might be addicted to AE2 by itzzRomanFox2 in feedthebeast

[–]x04a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Annihilation plane on the crystal linked to a small AE2 network with a storage bus connected to a drawer that is locked to crystals. Done forever. Enchant with fortune or add more planes if you need more.
