Post What's on Your Mind

[Ellie]

cant remember if i ever posted this, but i made this ages ago when i tried doing the 28 hour day sleep cycle thing

man i miss being inspired like i was making this

EDIT: also does this site even have a no doubleposting rule? i didnt think it did

72 hour bump rule

but like

I don't think we're active enough to need it.

I reckon if a post has important content it's worth posting.

 

[Ellie]

so don't do it all the time

 

[Ellie]

otherwise people might get angry and suddenly

 

[Police]

STOP! COLLABORATE AND LISTEN!

Oh shit it's the fuzz!

Well. I think my laptop has finally died. Can't make it to the login screen. Attempting a system restore. But I think its time for a new laptop.

Basically I am storing previous trades in a database, so it'll be like

trade 1: 17 fish sold for 128 gold
trade 2: 4 fish sold for 18 gold
trade 3: 1 fish sold for 3 gold
trade 4: 2 fish sold for 7 gold

I want to use the average price that the item sold for in the past week, and use that to set a shop price.

So this is my table:

a : b : c
1 : 17 : 128
2 : 4 : 18
3 : 1 : 3
4 : 2 : 7

So to get the average price they sold for... I need to select... hmm..

Actually would this make more sense

SELECT TOTAL(c / b)

That would make more sense actually wouldn't it.

Or thinking about it why don;'t I just divide the answer anyway AND STORE THAT INSTEAD.

MY FINGERS SWITCHED TO CAPS ACCIDENTALLY SO I MUST BE ON THE RIGHT LINES.

YES I WILL DO THE THING.

A friendo just invited me to the For Honor beta.

This is what makes talking to strangers on the internet worthwhile.

 

[Jason]

Internet strangers are the best people.

Oh I'm in that! What platform are you on? I'm on PC. Knights all the way.
The game is weird, feels like some mash-up between LoL, Soulcalibur and has the blocking system of Mount and Blade...
Not sure if I'll buy it though, £40 is a lot to me right now.

PC, fighting for Viking glory. I'm digging it.

I wondered why I had no money recently, all my web hostings are in dollars and the Pound crashed because of Birkenhexit.

I both love and hate For Honour... P2P connection sucks, some classes feel unbalanced, mostly Samurais. My controller won't work, yet it is an NVidia game, and works in the UPlay launcher...

 

[Jason]

At first I thought it was gonna' be like Chivalry, but after watching gameplay it looks like a moba or something... maybe it was the game mode I saw?

 

[bogey]

Daww, I looked like such a little Jew when I was young

I was so excited for For Honor, but once I realised it boiled down to rock paper scissors I kinda gave up. Also the locking on is nice but god damn does the movement feel restricted. I'm a sucker for melee combat but it just feels like it's missing something.

EDIT: turns out the tutorial doesnt explain anything like character passives, the fact that reaction parrying is a thing for some classes, and that direction switching is a thing. welp i shoulda used the net earlier

 

[Spoo]

Duels are where it's at. Dominion is the mode you saw with all the minions, and it sucks balls. The grunts serve no purpose but to get in your way -- even the friendly ones, and the scoring is set up in such a way that it's more sensible to avoid fighting and flank capture one of the two far bases.

Otherwise the game is alright. Combat does kinda have a rock-paper-scissors deal going on with the directional blocking/attacking, but once you learn how parries and guard breaks work it gets a lot deeper.

As for balance, I do think samurai hit too hard, given how damn fast they attack and move. Vikings and knights seem like they're in a good place.

Someone installed Spyware on my phone to track my location and steal my bank information. Very sketch

 

[Ellie]

Sorry. I'll remove it again.
