Q: How to deal with enemies with no weaknesses?

In my infiltration of a palace I started to notice a bit of a trend with enemies I am fighting.

Q: What is Battle Gauge and how does it work?

In the Lost Planet 2 campaign there is a Battle Gauge (labelled as B-GAUGE) bar that effectively gives you a game over when it is empty. From what I can tell, the bar increases and decreases in units of 500. Is this always the case (all levels, online, difficulty)? Does the bar ONLY decrease f...

BlueBarren

18:30

do I have to ssh for my remote or can I use http?

Avery

or clearing your DNS caches using another method?

you can use https

Unionhawk

If that doesn't fix it, git.txt contains the phone number of a friend of mine who understands git. Just wait through a few minutes of 'It's really pretty simple, just think of branches as...' and eventually you'll learn the commands that will fix everything.

fredley

@Unionhawk When git works it works the best. When git fucks up it fucks up the worst.

Avery

I personally prefer ssh on self hosted gitlab instances

murgatroid99

If it's like GitHub, SSH should make it easier to push changes

fredley

I prefer having a cloister of monks writing all of my source code to parchment using only raven or crow feathers with fine india ink.

BlueBarren

Normally I use Visual Studio's built in stuff for version control

but I have a merge conflict so I'm trying to use the commands for the first time

murgatroid99

18:32

@BlueBarren If the failure is related to hostname resolution, the fix probably isn't switching from SSH to HTTPS

Avery

@Unionhawk I literally made such a script (If you get errors, save your work elsewhere, delete the project and download a fresh copy) yesterday because pulling code of a website I host for a friend was being painful

MadMAxJr

Let me tell you the monks do not like it when I change branches.

Sorry about the misping, murgatroid99

BlueBarren

@murgatroid99 I would figure

@BlueBarren no password

fredley

@Unionhawk TFS?

murgatroid99

GitHub uses SSH asymmetric certificates instead of passwords

BlueBarren

@Avery now it's asking for my user's password

Unionhawk

Microsoft's version control thing

Avery

18:35

@BlueBarren you need to generate an ssh key and upload it to your account on gitlab, and configure git to use that.

BlueBarren

user@host's password:

@Avery well I remember doing something like that

murgatroid99

@BlueBarren Then what was the last password it was asking for?

Avery

well then just configure git

@murgatroid99 git user

the ssh links for gitlab looks something like [email protected]:someproject.git, so probably it's trying to use git user

BlueBarren

@murgatroid99 I assume the same thing but it didn't tell that info until I put in blank

Unionhawk

And those things

fredley

@Unionhawk Language definitions are tiny...

Avery

minimal install comes in around 10-15gb. Default install installs tons of crapware most people don't even use.

MadMAxJr

As an ASP.NET / VB.NET / C# developer, I was responsible for meeting with the client, gathering requirements, refining requirements, preparing development guides, developing the product, perform acceptance testing with the client, develop fixes/suggestions, final pass testing, write documentation, and support the product for the life of my employment.

My employer went on to inform me "If I tell you to mow my lawn, that becomes your job, are we clear?"

fredley

@MadMAxJr gotta love that waterfall

MadMAxJr

I quit two weeks later.

StrixVaria

18:48

@MadMAxJr Nope, that's not how things work.

BlueBarren

I'm in a similar situation sort of

MadMAxJr

"The last line of your job is 'other duties as assigned', so you will do what I say."

So I quit being a developer, moved home to support my father through the strange time of coping with grandmas passing. I took the A+ exam and then went into fucking tech support.

fredley

Why fucking tech? TBH I'd choose almost any other type of tech first.

MadMAxJr

As a developer/tech support, I ended up working for a report software firm that provides developers who buy the product small to mid level code assistance with writing Java and javascript integrations.

So not typical tech support, but really developer support call-center.

fredley

@MadMAxJr You are a SO call centre?

MadMAxJr

18:51

Yes. But clients would try to trick us into writing customizations for them or try to get free training out of us instead of buying training.

@BlueBarren It's not, unless you work for a psychopath. I know people who do this job, and they have all the experience. Putting someone into that position who doesn't is dumb.

MadMAxJr

I have the development background and desk experience to make damn good tools.

And since the product I work on is a cloud-hosted 3rd party service, I'm not responsible for the day to day maintenance of the back end and my job responsibilities are clearly defined.

@MadMAxJr Rewatching that scene, his Chinese is actually proper Chinese if understandably poorly accented.

"求求" translating to begging and pleading of some nature and "菩萨" obviously translating to "Buddha".

Q: Unified Changelog for Breath of The Wild?

Is anyone aware of a community driven unified changelog for inbound updates to Breath of The Wild?

I'm sure I speak for many of us...

zelda-breath-of-the-wild

MadMAxJr

Yes, they have point defense guns.

Torpedos are a thing too. The only reason ships have two armor hulls. Exterior hulls allow you to survive a near miss of a torpedo.

Nothing in The Expanse survives direct hits. Well, unless the mass driver punches through the ship and doesn't actually hit any core systems. Then it just vents atmo.

Mars has better ships, Earth has more ships.

They don't really like each other but it's too expensive to go to war.

Yuuki

Can point defense guns attempt to destroy the mass driver projectile?

MadMAxJr

Not that I'm aware of.

point defense guns can be used in close ship combat

The intrigue of the stories tends to revolve around 'The Belt'. We've settled good chunks of the asteroid belt as mining colonies and some as the equivalent of gigantic shipping/distribution centers.

Belters are often born and raised in as little as .4G so they tend to be taller, slender, and more frail.

@Yuuki Pilot gets pumped full of stimulants and substances that act as sort of a support/insulation against high G stress. Passengers get the same but without the stimulant. In extreme G maneuvers, passengers will pass out, crew will remain alert, but repeated use of stims has consequences.

Yuuki

20:13

@MadMAxJr ... the ~~spice~~ stimulant must flow?

MadMAxJr

So they have solutions to a lot of the basic space travel questions you'd ask, given the rules they establish.

But it doesn't require 'hard sci-fi' knowledge to figure out how or why it works in the book.

Basically, without the chem cocktail you'll be crushed by the acceleration force.

MBraedley

There are still also risks to prolonged high-g thrust. The juice doesn't mean you can keep thrusting at say 8-g forever.

MadMAxJr

I think by the end of book one Alex has to advise them against doing something like a sustained 12G burn.

@Unionhawk Wait, who was Estes running against?

Unionhawk

Idk some dude

Yuuki

Waiting for someone to get back to me on whether I solved their problem or not is the worst.

Unionhawk

It was a special election on a safe red seat which became much more contested than normal

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Okay, I think that's the one I'm thinking of.

The DNC had pretty much given up on it but there was some grassroots campaign for the Democratic campaign.

So literally the only thing that's true about the president's tweet quoted there is that there was in fact an election, it was in Kansas, and Estes did win

Yuuki

Yeah, IIRC, the Democratic Party spent like no money at all.

Because they didn't think they would win it.

And therefore also didn't predict victory.

Unionhawk

But DCCC didn't do shit and at best the prediction was "it might be closer than normal" and "we might get it but it's a long shot"

But now we know it bleeds, so we can kill it

Yuuki

But then what if Trump says "Martha"?

Everything is terrible

Every thing

Not a thing is not terrible

It don't look like it be but it do

Yuuki

So Jude Law will be playing Young-ish Dumbledore.

Everything is awful. Everything is sad when you're part of a team. Everything is awful

@Unionhawk apparently the far left is pissed at the DCCC for not sending money

basically being more about protecting the dem leadership in the house than trying to retake the majority

Arperum

Wish me luck. I'm going to try playing Borderlands 2 again, last time I tried my (old) GPU ended up dead.

GodEmperorDune

@Arperum good luck

@Lazers2.0 This guy really doesn't like our recommendation rules.

@Frank we can show countless such Q&As that go against your remarks on the site that have never been closed or attacked like this. Honestly this is an ego driven mutual admiration society like too much of SO; not quality driven. — ylluminate 4 mins ago

And that's at least borderline offensive.

'attacked'

Enforcing site guidelines is not an attack and rewording your intent does not make your content magically acceptable when it is still a recommendation instead of a concise question with a clear answer.

Telling us to go clean up the site also does not detract from the post in question being not a good fit for our site.

So my windows has updated for me while I was out to dinner, but not the creator's update

I came back to a black screen with my computer working, I forcibly shut it down and started it up again, it finished installing updates and now my second monitor is black

Also, when I started it, I had massive FPS issues

Yuuki

@Frank Ah, I see the Reddit mentality of "everything that doesn't agree with me is a circlejerk" has made it over to SE.

Nzall

I'm going to clean install my display driver, see if that fixes it
