Pathfinder also has fairly detailed difficulty settings panel, you can tailor the difficulty to your liking. Story mode difficulty and auto level up presets makes the game beatable for even your grandma, so you can ease into the system.

There are also some great guides out there for different builds for both companions and main character.

Graphics and voice acting, but only because they randomly stop speaking and go to pure text during dialogue. BG3 also doesn’t have Blackwater…

100% agree with the rest. I really hope Owlcat gets inspired by the more dynamic elements/environments from Larian’s games though.

Weird, they used the latest version of C++ at my university. Had to use Assembly and C in embedded though.

Which in turn reposted it from a Roman source

How accurate is this map? If the Irish call football soccer, it would be most shocking thing I’ve learnt in 2024.

As I’m sure my home instance reveals, I do like the idea of focused instances. I think a general sports focused instance would be better than sport specific instances though, at least with lemmy’s current size. It’s not sustainable to pop up an instance for every sport out there, like strongman or arm wrestling.

And people would also have to be able to sign up to the instance. Which if I remember correctly you had a very different opinion on when you spoke to Snowe on [email protected] about programming.dev. Just from a technical standpoint, the federation latency and general wonkiness is real and is why my football bots are running on Lemmy.world despite programming.dev being my preferred instance. Near real-time communication is important during live games where minutes may drastically change the topic.

And while I’m sympathetic to your cause, inertia is a real thing and lemmy.world is competently run, even if I strongly disagree with their VPN restriction.

If you somehow managed to convince the other sports communities to migrate to a common instance I’d happily follow along though, but I find it very unlikely happen. [email protected] is the one primarily in charge of [email protected]

I’d be interested in hearing the thoughts of some admins - would [email protected] be interested in moving to !football@soccer.forum, given the right organization?

I’m not the main mod of [email protected] so it’s really not my decision to make, but moving the community to a domain with the word soccer in it is a tough pill to swallow. As silly as it may sound, there’s a lot of people that don’t like having football referred to as soccer.

Moving away from lemmy.world and their annoying VPN restrictions would be nice though.

Yeah you’re right, local neighborhood militia sounds much better /s

The police do a valuable job if you’re living in a functional society.

I don’t want to get into an Internet argument over pedantry. Linter is often used as a catch-all term for static analysis tools.

Wikipedia defines it as

Lint is the computer science term for a static code analysis tool used to flag programming errors, bugs, stylistic errors and suspicious constructs.

Catching type errors and attribute errors would fit under this description, if you use a different, more precise definition at your workplace, cool, then we just have different definitions for it. The point is that your IDE should automatically detect the errors regardless of what you call it.

OP suggested that linters for python won’t catch attribute errors, which they 100% will if you use type hints, as you should.

What happens at runtime is really relevant in this case.

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, x: int):
        self.whatever: int = x

def foo(x: MyClass) -> int:
    return x.whatevr

Any decent IDE would give you an error for unresolved attribute. Likewise it would warn you of type error if the type of x.whatever didn’t match the return type of foo()

Once operational, the energy generated is cheap and will still be in demand

And then the other half of the Internet cries about how all they do are lazy remasters.

No. Different genre at this point

The sea should be marked as C considering that’s what you’ll discover when you get deep into it.

The author pointed out how exceptions are often faster than checking every value. If your functions throws an error often enough that Exception handling noticeably slow down your program, surely you got to take a second look at what you’re doing.

They both have their place. I just recently discovered a bug in lemmy bot I wrote where the lemmy API module will raise an Exception if login fails (response status code != 200), which feels extremely out of place, as the error/status code do matter in that case.

Other times exceptions make more sense as Phillip pointed out. It’s easier faster to ask for forgiveness than permission after all.

I can’t remember ever having used meta critic to guide a purchase. There is so much content both from forums and YouTube/Twitch that gives you much more accurate impressions of games. Meta critic seems rather pointless nowadays.

It’s a genuine concern though. If you want one centralised server hosting all the content, just use reddit.
