2023.06.01 00:42 Deathcounter0 Why do they remove accolades BB every match?
And the most recent Video, Crytek (or rather its Franchise Manager) announced, among other things, that there will no longer be Rewards from playing matches with the next patch (1.13).
Let me present the case:
Hunt is in the silver tier of the "Best of 2022" Steam Showcase. There, Steam puts games into tiers from Platin to Bronze. The games are place based on Top Gross income. Since we do not have exact numbers we can only put them in perspective:
Hunt made more income in the year 2022 than games like Terraria, BF 2042, Path of Exile, The Witcher and many more (see links above). A lot of these games are not unknown to most ears.
So? What is this money spent on?
Let's have a look:
Servers:
We have servers that on average run on 30 ticks, so overly simplified, the server is doing calculations in 30 FPS. In Comparison, 128 tick servers are present in Valorant and CS:GO, which is an unrealistic expectation, but atleast 60 Hz or 30 Hz while loading in all Mobs in an idle state should be possible in 2023. Granted, the servers need to calculate a lot of A.I movement but the term "Hunt servers" is already put up in a negative light.
Anti-Cheat and Cheater consequences:
Quite frankly, it's awful. With stories like this, this and this really giving the impression that Crytek is not even permabanning cheaters, or do not act on soft cheaters.
Furthermore, Easy Anti Cheat, Epic Games' Anti-Cheat service is free for game developers. Data Security and Internet Privacy concerns aside (Tencent), the last news blog on cheating was about 3 years ago. We do not know when the last EAC update was either. I can't help but feel that this cat and mouse game has a cat napping near the stove.
Removal of BB Rewards for the Tutorial:
With the introduction of the new Tutorial, the BB Rewards from the previous "Tutorial" was scrapped entirely from 250 BB to 0. While it was reduced 2 years prior from 800 BB to 250 BB. That little change somehow didn't make into the patch notes but I am sure it just wasn't worth mentioning.
New Patches bringing new bugs:
From the Lemat Bug, to the Reload Bug, to the floating tools Bug and Hunt servers not being able to count reserve ammo or how many throwing knives/axes you picked up. Yes, we are getting there, and yes some get fixed. But it is pointless when 5 bugs are fixed per patch, and 5 new ones take their place.
This patch alone we had:
FPS drops when closing the map (quite noticeable when playtesting don't you think)
Weapon Holster on saddles dropping your main weapon when canceling (Weapons are exchanged in almost every game from downed hunters, why is this bugged?)
Completely unrelated to any changes: Hornskin somehow takes away any blunt damage reduction from your teammates, making you oneshot from Winnie Cen. Trauma or Hammers.
Saddle Bags previously were able to give you 5 consumables with Packmule, now it was "fixed", and instead of giving you 5 consumables, it just removes 1 consumable (from a consumables that has 2 charges) - They are, after all, toolboxes that have a different item pool.
An Saddle Bags sometimes not appearing for every Player.
The last social media post about the Q & A Team playtesting Hunt was in 2019, I hope they are still doing good :)
Battle Passes get cheaper:
Let's see if they have the same amount of Quality and Levels as previous Passes. Also to do the math: To get 1000 Blood Bonds, you would need to play 50x20 - 20 consecutive Weeks, which is like 5 months to get a Battle Pass which is free to play.
New content:
Yes, I can't leave that one out, if I want to be fair. Good content is good and nice, and necessary to increase player count and player retention. However, what Hunt needs right now is QoL features and improvement of existing systems (and don't try to fix systems that already work fine *cough* up and downstair sounds and MMR system). Hunt needs an operation Health and I hope this goes hand in hand with the announced Cryengine update.
---
Did I forget anything? I mean they added Charms, and Charm rarity shortly after so that's nice.
Please, don't remove BB rewards for playing the game, for engaging with the game so that those who do do indeed buy BB and DLCs have (same skilled) enemies to play against. This change is extremly anti-customer and punishes players that play the game daily and regulary. Those who do make up most of your player numbers.

2023.06.01 00:38 maynevent Month 2: May Progress Report
Last month's progress report: https://www.reddit.com/juststart/comments/1335hr1/month_1_ish_progress_report/
Last month's goals for this month:
Backstory and Learnings:
Following from last month, I was in the middle of removing Ezoic from my site. I fully finished that up a day or two after I posted my first month's progress report. That was my main priority and then I started using my SemRUSH trial to its full advantage. I began collecting keywords to start writing articles and also started researching keywords for my previous articles that I just wrote on a whim, trying to make them more viable. As of the middle of May, most of views were coming from 2 articles, with a view here and there for other miscellaneous articles as well.
I really liked SemRUSH, but for right now, and with my site's infancy, I can't justify continuing with the service. It is for sure something I will circle back to in the future, though. Getting back to the articles, I began writing. I've noticed a pattern with myself, I'll go 5-6 days without writing and then all of a sudden, crank out handful in succession. 3 of the articles from the first batch I wrote near the beginning of May are starting to show promise. I have 1 article with 5 clicks, another with 24 clicks and the last one with 38 clicks. The rest of the articles are duds or are still cooking, I suppose.
I have also noticed some of my articles from the initial 10 I launched my site with are starting to get a bit of attention as well. The 2 articles I mentioned in the first paragraph that account for my most views are part of this initial 10 group. And to be fair, that does make sense, since they have been live the longest and have had (albeit minimal) time to age. I have a mixed feeling of joy and worry. I know that SEO and all of that is a waiting game, but I can't help but wonder and worry about my non-successful posts.
In terms of hitting my goals defined last month for this month, I can say I was able to accomplish them, for the most part. I wanted to make reasonable goals for myself that could actually be attained. I aimed for upping my post count from 18 at the end of April to having 28 at the end of May. In total, I finished May with 32 total published posts. I feel good about the upward trends I am seeing in GA, GSC and even Bing (screenshots below). I did acquire a few new backlinks as well, but nothing too special. Mainly just forum/community posts. I need to do some outreach and plan to start at least trying in the near future. In total, according to GSC, I have 56 external links from 5 different domains. Bing shows 9 total backlinks from 4 referring domains. Interestingly, Bing has a few domains Google does not have. Dunno what's up with that.
On to monetization. As mentioned in last month's progress report, I was a bit too hasty with ad placement. I was kinda feeling a bit bummed out by signing up for Amazon Associates so soon, but I think that was the right call. I have made, what looks like, 9 total sales, including the 1st one mentioned last month in April. I believe I did get a bit lucky, though. I had one sale where someone purchased a $600 item that gave me nearly $13 USD in commission. As exciting as that is, that was not one of the items I have on my site. But hey, it still counts, so yeah. Taking that one away, I still did pretty good IMO with $8+ USD in May. And I officially got the approval email from Amazon as well, which was really neat to see.
I am having some struggles with Social Media and have all but given up (for now) with the exception being Pinterest. I have been creating unique images and creating pins for every new article I write and posting them to Pinterest. Not seeing much from it though. According to GA, I have gotten 3 users and 4 sessions from Pinterest since going live on March 26th. I have been trying to research a bit and it seems like Pinterest is like Google in that the pins need time age as well. Hopefully, with enough determination and consistent posting, I will see some more traffic come from Pinterest.
Numbers:
I am a bit confused why so much of my traffic is coming from direct. I noticed I am starting to get impression on GSC under the 'Discover' button, but only 2 clicks so far from it. So that can't be it. Aside from the huge spike at the end of may (which was all direct and I still haven't figured out why), I am still getting anywhere from 3-7 sources as direct per day. I whitelisted my IP address in GA, but my traffic is still coming through. But to combat that, I am using private mode in FF since GA is blocked.
Things I am Investigating:
Keyword: borderlands rare loot guide Page: https://www.mydomain.com/borderlands-rare-loot Does not rank (I cannot find this page unless I type the URL into Google), Legendary page ranks # 15 for Rare keyword
Keyword: borderlands uncommon loot guide Page: https://www.mydomain.com/borderlands-uncommon-loot Just created, nothing is ranking for this keyword yet
submitted by maynevent to Blogging [link] [comments]
Last month's goals for this month:
- Have a total of 28 posts published (using proper keyword phrase research for any and all new ones)
- Continue to see upward trend with impression in GSC
- Acquire at least 1 new backlink for 3 different pages

Things I am Investigating:
- Before, whenever I posted a new article, I could find my article eventually on Google 24-48 hours later using the keyword I am targeting. Sometimes it would be on like page 20, but I could at least find it. Lately though, any new article I post does not come up at all on Google. They are indexed, but nothing from my site is showing for the keyword.
- I am also having trouble with articles that are in the same genre, but not showing up for the correct keywords in Google. For example:
Keyword: borderlands rare loot guide Page: https://www.mydomain.com/borderlands-rare-loot Does not rank (I cannot find this page unless I type the URL into Google), Legendary page ranks # 15 for Rare keyword
Keyword: borderlands uncommon loot guide Page: https://www.mydomain.com/borderlands-uncommon-loot Just created, nothing is ranking for this keyword yet
- I am looking into using CloudFlare as a CDN for my site. I have a caching plugin, and that is working fine, but I am on a shared hosting account. A few times this past month my site has gone done because of another user's actions, which is obviously not good
- I want to focus on fixing/bettering my previously posted articles, so I am only shooting for a total of 38 published posts by the end of June
- Start doing 'cold-call' backlink outreach - offer to create posts for other folk's blogs in exchange for a backlink
- Got my first legit comment on an article
- Achieved over 300 clicks from Google in May
- Starting to see some positive movement on Bing

So how I want this to work is that I have an item called "Wishing Star" and when you through 1 Wishing Star on the ground, I want it to play a particle effect, play a sound, then execute another function.
So far this is what I have. This first bit of code is playing every tick. I want to delay the start of the function because if I don't, the function "startwish" happens right away and the player can't see the animation.

Currently, I don't have this function playing the next function I was since I'd like to make sure this first bit works before moving on. execute at @s as @s run playsound entity.firework_rocket.shoot master @a execute at @s as @s run playsound entity.firework_rocket.blast_far master @a execute at @s as @s run particle firework ~ ~1 ~ 0 0 0 0.2 50 normal kill @sThe problem is. in the first function, if I remove the "schedule" and "1s" then it works as intended but without the delay. but when I add in the delay, it doesnt work anymore.

Last month's goals for this month:
- Have a total of 28 posts published (using proper keyword phrase research for any and all new ones)
- Continue to see upward trend with impression in GSC
- Acquire at least 1 new backlink for 3 different pages
Backstory and Learnings:
Following from last month, I was in the middle of removing Ezoic from my site. I fully finished that up a day or two after I posted my first month's progress report. That was my main priority and then I started using my SemRUSH trial to its full advantage. I began collecting keywords to start writing articles and also started researching keywords for my previous articles that I just wrote on a whim, trying to make them more viable. As of the middle of May, most of views were coming from 2 articles, with a view here and there for other miscellaneous articles as well.
I really liked SemRUSH, but for right now, and with my site's infancy, I can't justify continuing with the service. It is for sure something I will circle back to in the future, though. Getting back to the articles, I began writing. I've noticed a pattern with myself, I'll go 5-6 days without writing and then all of a sudden, crank out handful in succession. 3 of the articles from the first batch I wrote near the beginning of May are starting to show promise. I have 1 article with 5 clicks, another with 24 clicks and the last one with 38 clicks. The rest of the articles are duds or are still cooking, I suppose.
I have also noticed some of my articles from the initial 10 I launched my site with are starting to get a bit of attention as well. The 2 articles I mentioned in the first paragraph that account for my most views are part of this initial 10 group. And to be fair, that does make sense, since they have been live the longest and have had (albeit minimal) time to age. I have a mixed feeling of joy and worry. I know that SEO and all of that is a waiting game, but I can't help but wonder and worry about my non-successful posts.
In terms of hitting my goals defined last month for this month, I can say I was able to accomplish them, for the most part. I wanted to make reasonable goals for myself that could actually be attained. I aimed for upping my post count from 18 at the end of April to having 28 at the end of May. In total, I finished May with 32 total published posts. I feel good about the upward trends I am seeing in GA, GSC and even Bing (screenshots below). I did acquire a few new backlinks as well, but nothing too special. Mainly just forum/community posts. I need to do some outreach and plan to start at least trying in the near future. In total, according to GSC, I have 56 external links from 5 different domains. Bing shows 9 total backlinks from 4 referring domains. Interestingly, Bing has a few domains Google does not have. Dunno what's up with that.
On to monetization. As mentioned in last month's progress report, I was a bit too hasty with ad placement. I was kinda feeling a bit bummed out by signing up for Amazon Associates so soon, but I think that was the right call. I have made, what looks like, 9 total sales, including the 1st one mentioned last month in April. I believe I did get a bit lucky, though. I had one sale where someone purchased a $600 item that gave me nearly $13 USD in commission. As exciting as that is, that was not one of the items I have on my site. But hey, it still counts, so yeah. Taking that one away, I still did pretty good IMO with $8+ USD in May. And I officially got the approval email from Amazon as well, which was really neat to see.
I am having some struggles with Social Media and have all but given up (for now) with the exception being Pinterest. I have been creating unique images and creating pins for every new article I write and posting them to Pinterest. Not seeing much from it though. According to GA, I have gotten 3 users and 4 sessions from Pinterest since going live on March 26th. I have been trying to research a bit and it seems like Pinterest is like Google in that the pins need time age as well. Hopefully, with enough determination and consistent posting, I will see some more traffic come from Pinterest.
Numbers:
I am a bit confused why so much of my traffic is coming from direct. I noticed I am starting to get impression on GSC under the 'Discover' button, but only 2 clicks so far from it. So that can't be it. Aside from the huge spike at the end of may (which was all direct and I still haven't figured out why), I am still getting anywhere from 3-7 sources as direct per day. I whitelisted my IP address in GA, but my traffic is still coming through. But to combat that, I am using private mode in FF since GA is blocked.
Things I am Investigating:
- Before, whenever I posted a new article, I could find my article eventually on Google 24-48 hours later using the keyword I am targeting. Sometimes it would be on like page 20, but I could at least find it. Lately though, any new article I post does not come up at all on Google. They are indexed, but nothing from my site is showing for the keyword.
- I am also having trouble with articles that are in the same genre, but not showing up for the correct keywords in Google. For example:
Keyword: borderlands rare loot guide Page: https://www.mydomain.com/borderlands-rare-loot Does not rank (I cannot find this page unless I type the URL into Google), Legendary page ranks # 15 for Rare keyword
Keyword: borderlands uncommon loot guide Page: https://www.mydomain.com/borderlands-uncommon-loot Just created, nothing is ranking for this keyword yet
- I am looking into using CloudFlare as a CDN for my site. I have a caching plugin, and that is working fine, but I am on a shared hosting account. A few times this past month my site has gone done because of another user's actions, which is obviously not good
- I want to focus on fixing/bettering my previously posted articles, so I am only shooting for a total of 38 published posts by the end of June
- Start doing 'cold-call' backlink outreach - offer to create posts for other folk's blogs in exchange for a backlink
- Got my first legit comment on an article
- Achieved over 300 clicks from Google in May
- Starting to see some positive movement on Bing
2023.06.01 00:35 Blade_Trinity3 Best/cheapest potting mix for bare root seedlings
Hello
Today i received 25 each burr oak, staghorn sumac, and bald cypress "seedlings". They're all dormant, the diameter of a pencil or so, and 12 - 24 inches tall. I want to plant them in pots now and then actually plant them in the ground next year. I have some dirt work to do before I want to plant them. I'm in zone 5b. On to my question.
Can I grow them in pots filled with compost. There is a horse farm near me that mixes manure with dining hall food waste and composts it for a few years. I can buy it for 40$ a ton, one ton will be fully sufficient i imagine, and it wouldn't hurt to have the remaining amount around. Or do I need to mix that compost with peatmoss? Or do I have to use a commercial growing mix. The moss will probably add 50$, so not that big of a deal. The commercial growing mix will cost like 300$ if I use 3 gallon pots, which i think I probably should. Can I cut a fat hog here and just use compost, or are my $1 trees gonna have to become $4 trees, not counting the small fortune 3 gallon pots will cost?
Thanks

2023.06.01 00:34 Marina_draws How do I lose the weight faster ??
So I'm not looking to lose like 10 pounds a week or anything, but it would be amazing if I could lose a half pound a week or even 1 instead of waiting 2 months to lose 1 pound.
I am 17F/AG and 5'3 at right now 177.5 pounds, I started trying to lose weight about 7 months ago and have lost roughly 13 pounds(I was at 190+). My goal weight is to get to the 130-140 range but also pack on some muscle I currently lack. Working out has always been hard for me, I'm not an energetic person and even as a little kid I wasn't very active. This led to years of hardly even walking 2k steps a day on top of poor eating habits. It only got worse after covid when my family turned treats into everyday things. I was usually at 160lbs for a few years but after recovering from an Ed I was at 170, after a breakup last year I gained another 20 pounds from emotional eating. My weight has always been something I struggled with as has my family.
Last year I joined a private school after 8 years of homeschooling, and it's an extremely athletic school and our sports teams are amazing. I love basketball and it's my sport, so when the team was short players I joined last minute, having just the months before struggled to even walk 5k steps without soreness. I played with some injuries(sprained ankle and joint pain) all season but it Kickstarted a goal for me to get better and be able to keep up with my team.
While recovering I built up how much I could walk and tried to get my overeating and sugar addiction under control, which is the only way I have lost any weight. But now that I'm better, I'm doing weighted workouts, getting 8-10k steps a day, and eating much cleaner while counting calories(roughly 1500 a day) with a higher water intake. I have been doing this for maybe 3 months, and I have lost maybe 2 pounds, and I'm becoming a bit impatient. I work hard for hardly anything, and I feel I am rightfully upset about that.
So how do I get this weight to finally get lost. I can't go to much lower in calories without resorting to my Ed and I get hungry, and while I'm trying to build muscle it's a slow process. Are there any tips that might help?

2023.06.01 00:32 LifePirate Is building a custom home worth it for a first time home buyer ?
Hi, I am a first time home buyer, who just lost a house while we were in attorney review. I am a little pissed because finally after 6 months of hunting, we found a house that ticked off all the boxes (but was not a dream house). It was a new construction, so now i am wondering if it's better to just contract with design & construction company, instead of playing the bidding game. I want to understand how much is the actual construction cost for some of the templated new construction houses that use all builder grade materials.
What i want to build : 2700 sq foot finished on about 7-8K lot size. Area: Northern NJ Comparison: New construction cookie cutter house that seems to sell for about 1 million - 1.1 million
I see builders buying the old house / lot in the price range of 400K - 450K and then constructing the cookie cutter house and selling it for 1 million. Given that i can't customize anything in that house (very simple requests like (1) increase size of bedroom on ground floor (2) run big conduit for cabling across house etc), i am wondering if it's better to just buy the lot and contract with design & construction firm to build a cookie-cutter house with the small modifications. I was pricing the new custom build at around 240-300$ per sq foot for the same cookie cutter model with few differences. Is this a feasible line of thought ? or I am going to hit issues down the road. I provisioned about 1 year time for build.
Many Thanks!

2023.06.01 00:31 Meh_I_tired I am writing about an unhappy woman. General feedback please
The faucet runs at full blast, the sound of water whooshing over the background noise of bickering kids. My hands begin to burn, the sensation barely registering as I'm lost in my own thoughts. I always start with the steaming water, letting it scald my skin before remembering to grab the soap. It's as if the longer I stand here, the longer I can steal a moment for myself. This routine has become a ritual. I turn on the water until my hands can no longer tolerate the stinging pain, then I hurriedly grab the soap and pour it onto the bottle scrubber. I vigorously wash the baby bottles, but it's too late. The sour smell of breastmilk permeates the air, teasing my senses. I hold my breath, trying to avoid the repugnant odor. Something about that smell triggers a rage within me, and unsaid arguments begin to form in my head. "I did the dishes again after realizing we didn't have any bottles for the baby," I say to the imaginary James in my mind. "I wish you had reminded me. You only punish yourself when you take on my tasks. You know I don't care about the dishes and only do them because I love you," imaginary James responds, his thin lips forming words that mock and blame me. His mustache seems to curl with a smirk, adding to my frustration. If only I had reminded him for the thousandth time, or lowered my cleaning expectations, maybe I could find some ease. If only I could accept that the dishes don't need to be done every day, maybe I'd realize my expectations are too high. If only I understood that the kids don't always need my constant engagement, maybe I wouldn't feel so stretched thin. My hands are now red from the furious scrubbing, the anger blending with the routine. The phrase "if only" swirls through my mind: If only I cared less, I wouldn't feel so stressed. If only I managed my work life better, I could be there for the kids. If only I reminded him. If only I mothered him. If only I accepted that the dishes can wait, I would see my expectations were too high. If only I understood that the kids don't need me every second, I wouldn't feel so overwhelmed. Lost in my thoughts, I no longer notice the water spiraling down the drain or the cluttered counters. I can only see his face, his eyes glued to the screen, seemingly more interested in the game than in listening to his wife air her grievances. I see the side profile of his blue eyes, the subtle roll as he sighs, as if saying, "Not this again." The rage turns into hate, hot embers stabbing at my heart. I feel guilty for harboring this hatred, for seeing my husband as my enemy. Suddenly, a loud crash jolts me back to reality. The hurried footsteps of the toddlers approach, and the baby starts to cry. I close my eyes and count to ten, silently pleading for James to step in and handle the situation. "1, 2, 3, 4," I whisper. But before I can continue, Lia tugs at my shirt, her voice trembling with tears. "Mommy, Beo took my doll and threw her! She'll never work EVER AGAIN!" she cries, her curls becoming damp from the tears streaming down her green eyes. Gasping for breath between sobs, she tries to explain what happened. "I was playing," she repeats over and over. "Lia, let's calm our bodies down and take some deep breaths," I say, embracing her. I guide her through a calming exercise, lifting her into my arms. "I'll fix this, I promise. But first, let's help ourselves feel better." I navigate through the toys scattered into the living room, where the bright Texas sun pours in through picture windows covered in fingerprints. I notice crayon marks on the windowsills, evidence of a child's creative exploration. James sits at his computer desk, which he strategically placed in a corner so he could keep an eye on the kids while playing games. He had thought it would reduce his stress and prevent him from yelling at us so frequently. But as I enter the room, he doesn't even look up. With Lia's cries subdued, the baby's red face cradled in my arms, and Beo simmering with frustration, I gently put Lia down and lift the baby, rocking him back and forth to soothe him. I turn to Beo, hoping for an explanation. "I NO SHARE!" Beo screams. His anger often leaves him speechless. "Well, Lia says you threw her doll. Can you tell me what happened?" I scan the room until I spot the doll lying next to James's feet. Beo remains silent, busy picking up his blocks to rebuild something. "Beo, please tell me what you're feeling so we can talk about it," I say, continuing to rock the baby. Beo gets like this when he's angry. "Lia makes me so angry!" Beo yells, placing his tiny fists on his hips. He begins to explain what happened—Lia took his blocks and built a dollhouse, destroying his rocket ship in the process. I collect his blocks and the doll, preparing to return them to their rightful owner. "Lia, please apologize for taking Beo's toys, and Beo, please apologize for throwing her doll. We should talk about how that made us feel so we can learn from this," I say, having some version of this conversation with them every day. Sometimes, being a mother to three kids under the age of five feels like an endless cycle of fights, chores, and cleaning crayon off the walls. "James, can you please take the baby while I help the other two with this?" I start moving toward him, being careful not to trip over any toys. "No, you're spoiling him by holding him every time he cries. You're not teaching the other two about conflict resolution when you come to their rescue," James responds without looking up, his fingers smashing on the keyboard as blue lights flash rapidly. "Please, James. I'm just trying to finish the dishes and make dinner," I say, desperately trying to hide my anxiety. I feel myself retracting because now he will know that I did the dishes, and I fear the backlash that awaits. "God damn it!" he exclaims, throwing his mouse across the room. "I told you I would get to it eventually. Why the hell do you have to make me feel bad by doing the stuff I'm supposed to do? Does it give you some sense of power, knowing that you couldn't wait five freaking minutes for me to finish my match? I told you!" He stands now, fists clenched, his rage unleashed. The kids fall silent, and the baby squirms in my arms. I feel myself shrinking, pulling my chest in, hunching my back, as if protecting myself. "Oh, now you're going to act all innocent, as if you weren't being passive-aggressive by cleaning the dishes to punish me for taking some time to myself and playing a game!" he continues yelling. "I... I'm sorry. I didn't have anywhere to put the pumped milk, and I needed to do some dishes," I whisper. I want to tell him that I had asked him to do the dishes two days ago, and he hadn't done them for a whole week. I want to tell him to stop screaming and accusing me of being passive-aggressive when taking a chore off his plate is considered a kind gesture. But I know that it would only escalate his anger. Instead, I remain silent, waiting for his rage to exhaust itself. I don't want the kids to witness this, so I apologize again, my words so soft that only I can hear them.

2023.06.01 00:29 TuneToneTony ASUS ROG Flow X13 vs Lenovo Yoga slim 7 pro X (UK, up to £1500)
Hello,
I was looking for some advice on a couple of laptops I have been looking at. Specifically the Asus ROG Flow x13 (2022) and the Yoga Slim Pro with the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS Processor and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB; both with 16GB RAM.
I want to prioritise a laptop that can handle Photoshop and Lightroom editing and a good display with 100% RGB colour gamut space. However, I also plan to do some light gaming. More likely I'll be playing games such as FIFA and maybe GTA. I don't really do FPS other than Fortnite to occasionally play online with my brothers.
Based on both laptops characteristics, is there any that you recommend the most? I had almost decided on the Flow X13 but then found the Yoga and wondered if it had a nicer display and still allowed me to do gaming with the titles I mentioned before. If you have any other suggestion is also welcomed but bear in mind I don't really want anything larger than 14 inches. I am also not really bothered with things like battery life.
Thank you in advance for the help!
LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE
Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US: up to £1500 Are you open to refurbs/used? Yes How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life? I prioritise performance and built quality on top of battery life. I tend to have a plug nearby most of the time. How important is weight and thinness to you? Quite important, I wouldn't like anything larger than a 14-inch screen. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Up to 14-inch screen Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Mainly photo editing and would like to keep the possibility of doing some light gaming If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? FIFA, GTA, FORNITE Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? As long as it has the option for a USB-A port I'm happy with anything else Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. N/A

2023.06.01 00:29 Peanutbuttered Killing off Reddit Apps, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Back when I was a teenager, I created /whatcouldgowrong - a lighthearted GIF-sharing subreddit that illustrates why a dumb idea will lead to a dumb consequence. It was made after seeing a funny GIF of a man hopping into a shopping cart and rolling down a hill only to tumble in the way we all knew was coming. This page has been around for 10 years, and we have seen a lot of changes take place on the site which impact the quality of service for users and moderators - some good, some bad. Reddit's latest corporate decision is metaphorically the equivalent of hopping into a shopping cart and drifting down a steep hill - and therefore deserves to be stickied at the top of the sub.
With the help of our subreddit posters and moderators, the page grew - it now receives a quarter of a billion page views per year. Contrary to how the page began (in which there wasn't much upkeep to do), to manage a page of this size (and keep it advertiser-friendly for Reddit) requires good moderation tools - tools that allow moderators to quickly and efficiently sort and filter posts.
Many of the best tools for moderating that we have found comes in the form of third-party apps (not created by Reddit). My personal choice is Apollo by Christian Selig, on which you might be reading this post right now. However, Reddit's decision to raise the price for access to its API means that third-party apps might need to pay millions of dollars to Reddit or shut down. Reddit's decision to raise the price for access to its API also means that some of the best tools moderators have to keep content appropriate for each subreddit will no longer exist - which will not only impact moderators but the experience of Reddit's users.
For those who don't know, Reddit moderators do not receive income or monetization from subreddits they create or the views they provide - this is a voluntary position. For larger subreddits, this means that the task of filtering rule-breaking posts, banning spammers, and also ensuring NSFW content doesn't show up on your phone when you're at work, is about to become much more difficult for us to do. What takes 3 seconds to do in Apollo takes 30 seconds to do in Reddit's official app. I imagine moderators will not be increasing the time they spend moderating by 10x. Additionally, the plethora of 10/10-level abusive messages that moderators receive for doing their job (even on a lighthearted and noncontroversial sub such as this one) certainly makes spending 10 times the amount of time moderating not worth it for many - but this is besides the point.
As stated by Apollo developer:
If you are a Reddit user or moderator that will be impacted by third-party apps shutting down, please share your opinion on how the experience of using Reddit and moderating Reddit will change for you in light of these recent developments.
Hopefully, Reddit reverses its idea because I am not sure many posts on /whatcouldgowrong can top it.

As stated by Apollo developer:
Why is the pricing so high? It would cost me a comical $20 million dollars a year to keep my app running as-is, an app that like many third-party apps, have many moderators that depend on it.
I'm not sure if you understand how important third party apps are to the Reddit ecosystem. Not only do they provide an opportunity for folks who don't like the official app to be able to still use Reddit on-the-go, but many of the moderators who serve as the backbone of the entire site rely on third-party apps to do their job.
As a number, Apollo currently has over 7000 moderators of subreddits with over 20K subscribers who use Apollo, from Pics, to AskReddit, to Apple, to IAmA, etc. It would be easy to imagine that combined with other third-party apps across iOS and Android that well over 10,000 of the top subreddits use third-party apps to moderate and keep their community operating.
This is equivalent to going to a construction site and taking away all the workers' favorite tools, only to replace them with different, corporate-mandated ones. Except the construction workers are also building your houses for free.
Why infuriate so many people and communities?

2023.06.01 00:28 JustinianVS Things I learned after making my first video game
So, I've been meaning to make this post for a while, but procrastination's been getting the best of me. Late last year I released my first game, Mage Lords of Brams on Steam. I've posted some gameplay videos on Youtube and I've also uploaded it to itch.io but it'll take some time before they approve it.
My computer chair broke a couple of days ago and while I'm waiting for my new one I have lots of time to do less mouse intense tasks (using a regular chair is killing my wrist since I can't lower it). So here is the post.
Anyway, in no particular order of importance:

My computer chair broke a couple of days ago and while I'm waiting for my new one I have lots of time to do less mouse intense tasks (using a regular chair is killing my wrist since I can't lower it). So here is the post.
Anyway, in no particular order of importance:
- You're gonna mess up a lot. If I had to remake the game from scratch the process and a lot of the code would have been completely different. I reused code from previous game attempts that I should have written from scratch. I put aside features that should have been developed from day one. I expanded the scope of the game mid-development (terrible idea) which resulted in me having to write new features that did not fit in naturally with existing features resulting in lots of bugs, patches and frustration. If there's one thing I've taken away from the experience, it's to decide on the scope of the game before you make it and stick with it as much as possible.
- If your game uses a controller (and if it can, it should, the most common complaints I've gotten have been around controllers and lack thereof), implement them from the start and design your interface around them. This can be done without diminishing a PC gamer's experience (i'm not a big fan of controllers). I didn't do this, and implementing it after the game was done created a lot of headaches, and I had to redo most of the code at least once because the game was not designed to support the controller from the start. Gamemaker makes implementing controllers fairly trivial too, so it's a pity I didn't take advantage of it earlier. Which brings me to a related lesson: don't put off tasks for later development just because you don't want to do them. This was why I left controller implementation for last, and it was a big mistake.
- Start advertising your game before you publish anything. The advertising process and the development process should be simultaneous. Even if you do early access (and I think most indie devs should), advertise and get wishlists before you publish anything. You don't want to end up with a game released and nobody is playing it. It's not even about the money, you want to get feedback during development and before final release. These days there are a ton of games being released and it's hard to get interest. Steam will probably not provide you with enough visitors to snowball into a success on its own. Realistically, you will probably spend just as much, if not more time, trying to promote your game as you do making it. A lot of aspiring gave devs don't like this (myself included) but that's the reality: you need eyeballs on your game and they won't come on their own. Not until you are an established developer with an existing audience anyway.
- Nail the core concept and gameplay of your game. When I set off to make Mage Lords of Brams I wanted two things: satisfying visceral combat (compared to abstract beeping enemies out of existence like in most VS clones) and lots of race/class/attack options. I think I nailed both of these: The combat feels good and splattering large numbers of enemies is very satisfying. There are 12 base races (plus 6 more monster races you can unlock via secret levels), 40 classes and 40 different magic attacks. You can combine them into almost any fantasy, from magic weapon wielding battlemages to summoners that flood the screen with their armies. Whatever other flaws the game may have, if I want to become a mystical lawnmower that commits fantasy genocide on an industrial scale, I won't be disappointed with running my game. People will give you a chance to fix issues with bugs, or bad controls, or other minor issues. But if people don't like the core experience they will refund, or not buy.
- Limit the scope of the graphics to what you can realistically do. When I started making Mage Lords of Brams, I had two choices: low res (16x16 tile size) low frames animations, and lots of content, or something higher, with more frames per animation but with considerably fewer options. I went with option 1 because sheer volume of options was a defining feature of my vision, and I kept to it: 16x16 tiles, 16x16 characters (more like 16x20 to accommodate more hairstyles), and no more than 2 frames per animation. It was hard to stick with it (esp for something like an archer), but I'm glad I did because I would have burned out long before my game was done otherwise.
- I found out late in development that ChatGPT can write gamemaker code. While I had to heavily edit it (because I tried to get it to write controller controls for me lol), it's decent enough at writing simple scripts for stuff that would be tedious for me. IE: it wrote a script to find the nearest instance of two different objects for me. Any day where I don't have to write a for loop is a good day.

2023.06.01 00:27 Ramoloss2004 Ninja 650 or Honda Hornet 750 2023
Hi everyone
I'm a newly licensed rider and I'm really hesitating between the Ninja 650 and the Honda Hornet 750.
I'm 1.85m tall and weigh 85kg.
We're not going to talk price here, because pleasure is more important than the purchase price.
But I have several questions.
Is it already compared to the wind I will have the same feeling.
In terms of power, will I have more fun on the Hornet than the Ninja?
And above all fuel consumption, I don't know if the two consume the same.
In terms of options too, the hornet has more than the ninja.
I don't know which one to get yet, it's still too fuzzy in my head to choose one of the two.
I'm counting on you if you'd like to help me with my choice, I'll be open to any suggestions.
