When one arrow = one kill, tracking them makes more sense to me. In a game where you need half a dozen or more to kill something anyway, it just seems pointless
I'm able to ignore the silliness of D&D-style hit points and damage when playing a fantasy game, but if you play a more modern game, I cannot manage to suspend disbelief when it takes, say, 10 shots with a .45 to kill someone
@kalina What's worse is that often in such systems, things like that are actually more effective because they'll say something like "rubber bullets only do 1d4 instead of 2d8 damage, but they have a 10% chance to knock out the enemy" or some shit like that
Abathur seems like a very difficult hero to play effectively.
Should I be moving around between lanes a lot?
Some players stay by the core, and others move all around the field.
How do I decide who I should be helping?
> My metaphor for describing PHP is just in line with the traditional "tools in a toolbox" one.
Although, a rather big difference with mines is PHP is more like a rotten dusty sandwich you forgot at the bottom under some tools, and you tried to hammer a nail with it.
Recently, I have bought 'Skyrim Legendary Edition' on Steam. I would like to install it but I need 8827 MBs' of data, of which I only have 4131 MBs. Is there any way I can clear up all this data - I have deleted all my picture files and documents and other pointless downloads.
Zeus damn it, Mario Kart 8 costs $65 in Canada. I really hate that "You live in Canada so pay $5 more" bullshit charges company put on games. Also everything ever.
It must suck to live in austrialia, because I know it's even worse there.
$100 for new games or something ridiculous.
@BenBrocka Looks roughly the same size as the original XBOX controller.
I've been collecting set and legendary Blacksmith plans as I level my characters, and I teach each of them to Haedrig as I find them. Recently, though, I've started to notice that only a few of these plans are used to make level 70 items, so I'm hesitant to keep collecting them unless I'm playing...
The number of patricians (trade privileges) that I can have on an island = 60% of the number of citizens on that island + number of envoys worldwide/110 (improvable by certain attainments). Suppose I have 550 envoys on my oriental island. Does this mean I get 5 additional trade privileges in each...
I played some Wolfenstein: The New Order last night and after the first 10 minutes of on-rails tutorial with nonstop cutscenes, it was actually kind of fun.
@fredley He is using the surround system my boss has installed through his house, and it echoes into the office area, I'm just using my laptop speakers.
@fredley open full screen game. Alt tab out. All 3 screens flicker black/colored for several seconds. Some window positions may change. Repeat if you re-enter the fullscreen window
At a guess, Direct3D's "Devices" aren't referring to physical devices... this is supported by IDirect3D9::CreateDevice's specs (adapter is the first argument)
Anyway, the point is, when an application is running in real fullscreen mode on a monitor, nothing else is being rendered on that monitor. Whereas, fake fullscreen can (and does?) render the contents that are hidden but running behind it.
@Powerlord I get the original intent but it's soooo awful it would be fantastic to have a forced fullscreen windowed thing at least as an option, since I can comfortably run things in fullscreen windowed anyway
@Arperum It exits exclusive mode when you click somewhere else. An artifact of when Exclusive mode didn't have to deal with multiple monitors, for sure.
> The focus window alerts Direct3D when an application switches from foreground mode to background mode (via Alt-Tab, a mouse click, or some other method). A single focus window is shared by each device created by an application.
oh hey didn't know about that one either. To their credit they did more for multiple displays than I expected (I expected nothing at all) but it's still annoying
One thing I don't understand about self driving car efforts is the focus on city driving. I mean, highways should be infinitely easier and safer to deal with, given that there are so many fewer factors of danger.
@Frank There are a lot of times people from other departmants will come to us with big huge week projects which are launching in 2 weeks, and they get scaled waaaaaaay back, with us telling them "We could have built you that, if you gave us a lot more notice"
and there's probably few extra considerations for highway driving going from city, while designing for highway then trying city driving would require a lot of extra changes
@Powerlord You would think that a computer driven car, refreshing its state of the world ~20 times per second, would be way better equipped than any human in handling hairy situations
@badp Until you reach critical adoption, said automated cars need to take those human drivers into account. For instance, as a human, I can see things going on a ways ahead of me and react accordingly.
@Frank People are starting to learn, which is good. Some are anywyas. one guy came to us last month saying there was aproject he wanted to launch in the fall, and wanted to know how much work it would be, what do we need to do, et cetera. That does that almost all the time now, it's good.
@Powerlord So can automated cars. Actually the units Google has been testing have their laser shooting beams from quite high, giving it quite the advantage over what a normal driver can see
@badp As a driver trained on the principles of 'defensive driving', ie. driving in such a manner that you won't get into an accident even if the other drivers make a mistake, I agree so much with this sentiment
@PrivatePansy That sounds fascinating and mindbendingly boring
@BenBrocka Actually that could become a problem as those little towers where the cars mount their laser shooting revolving thingadongdongs start obstructing each other's view
@PrivatePansy I've seen a car going too fast down an exit ramp (toward a highway that had an accident 1 mile-ish / 2km-ish down the road), hit someone whose car made a 90 degree turn and shot across the other lanes.
@BenBrocka Well if I figure it's a problem because they're propping up the sensors to begin with
The idea might be mesh networking with other cars so that they can fill each other's blanks, but I am scared of those cars having any amount of networking
(It helped that I heard a car slamming on their breaks and I immediately started hitting my breaks, then slammed them when I saw the other car shoot out)
We are supposed to be done with this project by Friday and we just asked "Is this thing A or is it B? We need to know which." and got back "Yes, make it A or B."
@AshleyNunn Okay, because I heard about a new job opening up where you live. It's only part time, but a friend of mine says it's a great place to work. She loves it to bits. supposed to move into a full time position at some point though.
In the Neverwinter MMO, there is an endgame area called Gauntlgrym, that is supposed to have PVE and PVP areas.
When my friends and I have ventured there, all we ever see is an area that is full of locked gates and maybe a few AFK guys standing around. Is there a specific time that events occ...
