@LessPop_MoreFizz This is a good example, really. You don't need several different stats for damage. If they all do the exact same thing, just for a different weapon/class, then they're essentially the same stat.
PoE is actually pretty clever about it. One stat scales raw damage, one scales speed of attacks, another scales accuracy, and another scales AoE area and Buff/Debuff/DoT duration
I.E. barbarians want Int and Might, because Int makes their rage last longer and their cleaves (which is their main gimmick) wider and hit more things, and because big two hand weapons work best with said cleaves and scale best with might
But if you want to, you can totally build a Dex barbarian that dual wields daggers to hit everything a whole lot of times.
Basically, once a character gets close enough to an enemy, he and that enemy are 'Engaged'. If either one leaves a certain radius, the other one gets a free attack - with a big accuracy/damage bonus.
Fighters in particular get all kinds of tools to manipulate engagement and extend it's radius and lock people down and engage multiple enemies at a time
but fundamentally, it's the way that tanking happens in PoE.
IT's a lot more immerse than just having some aggro value. It makes a lot more sense that the reason enemies are attacking you tank isn't because he's big and strong, but because they just can't let their gaurd down long enough to get away from him without getting their face cleaved off.
The trick of engagement versus classic Attacks of Opportunity is that the Disengagement Attack causes the target to stop moving momentarily while a 'hit' animation plays...
which usually provides enough time for the attacker to reestablish engagement if they want to.
Direct X 11 is supposed to have Shader 5.0, so why is this happening when I try to run Xenoverse?

@Wipqozn I remember one time that my Brony club in college started singing this for some reason, and we got all the way through without it playing as a reference
@Yuuki The funny thing is that most of us probably know most of the songs from the show pretty well, but that's still probably one of the only songs we could have done that with

I meant an app/extension that updates what your current page is whenever you look at a newer page and has a little badge notification when there's an unread page.
I'll warn you that it's something like 8000 pages long at this point (and almost done), and the first couple of acts can be tough to get through for some people
I feel like a genius for coming up with this binary-to-decimal conversion in 5 minutes without reference. Please give me my 5 minutes of feeling-good-about-myself before you shoot me down. Also, yes I know it assumes sanitized input.
int toDec(int num, int weight)
{
if(num == 0 || num == 1)
return num * ((Double)(Math.pow(2, weight))).intValue();
else
return toDec(num % 10, weight) + toDec(num / 10, weight + 1);
}
int toDec(int num, int weight) {
if (weight > 1) return toDec(num, 1) << weight;
if (num <=1) return 1;
return 2 * toDec(num/10, 1) + toDec(num%10, 1)
}
That's what I'd do
I'm pretty sure that's right

Going back a bit (on mobile, can't link) - Homestuck is one of those things I wanted to like but I have tried so many times and I just can't stick with it long enough.
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I know a lot of people have that reaction. You have to either like the early stuff or be willing to power though a lot of it to enjoy the comic
@Yuuki Without the weight parameter, it would look like this:
int toDec(int num) {
if (num <=1) return 1;
return 2 * toDec(num/10) + toDec(num%10)
}
I find it interesting how you can't even open a new document if you're looking at a Word document in Protected View.

@murgatroid99 Yeah I keep wanting to get into it but the beginning is just such a grind that I can't connect with it enough. Which sucks because as art and as a cultural thing, it's fascinating
Fibonacci is probably one of the best examples, because it's well known, and the recursive function is the simplest way of expressing the definition as a program
And this may even be simpler to follow, the point of the previous example was that the recursive function was a good representation of the definition of the Fibonacci sequence
PHP's ternary operators are left-associative. I didn't even understand that sentence when I first read it, because it didn't make sense to make them do that
unless is like an automatically-negated if, and you can use it anywhere you could use if and vice verse. That's fine. But this particular construction has it reversed from the normal order you'd see things.
@murgatroid99 Parentheses are optional (unless the last argument is an in-line Hash or one of the argument is also a method call (and possibly more exceptions)) :|
I remember when I first found out how operator overloading worked in like 10th grade I thought it was the coolest feature ever and used it constantly. Then I read opinions of people who thought it was awful and said never use it and literally couldn't understand how it could be bad. Now, having seen it (and Ruby), I understand.
@murgatroid99 I kind of like the idea that they'd design a language "as it should be" instead of "to be like other languages". I just don't like Ruby.
