I get there's lore and rules, and maybe them sticking to those is good for you and the cohort of strong fans.Toggle on and you can move as many times as you like. But if I were to sit down for my first session, and someone was like, "Oh, this version doesn't have an Orc Barbarian," I'd have been dejected them too. I'm looking for games that simulate a campaign well. I grew up never getting to play one (back in the 80s, lots of parents feared DnD was satanic) and I wanted to so bad. It can be struggling artists too.įor me, I'm looking for a game that simulates a DnD campaign. This game, complete (including the extra characters) would probably sell really well around 29.99.Ī money grab doesn't have to be cynical capitalists. The pricing of this game for everything is around 60 bucks, and no matter how much is beneath the hood of this game, the hood (so to speak) gives a sense of vastly overinflated price. But in this case, what I feel is too bad is that it's a bad choice. It is a money grab-meaning they're a small company trying to maximize the money they make, which, is totally fine. Too bad-I really want to play this, but I hate being locked out of base content like this. If you like something like a dungeon grind and more RAW D&D 5e game then yes you should get it, but if you are looking for character development and story with branching paths then this isn't the game for you. The thing you need to see if you want to play it or no is to see the game play and see if that will make you want to play it. It is not like BG3 where they are going to add all classes & races from the PHB on release. The extra budget they make from the game goes to creating more features and add more classes and races in the SRD 5.1. They don't have the budget to add everything on one go so they aren't going to bite off more than they can chew. You have to realize that this is a small budget start up developer indie game. It would be a money grab if it was a AAA game made from Electronic Arts but it is not. ![]() ![]() (and it is the same reason there will be more, and more and more.paid DLC) Seems like a money grab. Originally posted by Grumpy Old Dude:IMHO? Yes there is.and that reason is. In short the DLC just flat out doesn't fit into the campaign world. So in order to even have that DLC they'd have to twist an enormous amount of Lore.Įrgo why it was never a part of the original release and rather an optional one for people who actually wanted it. which they didn't.īarbarian is the only thing that MIGHT have existed, but given how civilized Solasta was by the Elves and that they'd conquered everything already they would have had to developed out of the cataclysm, not prior. Which couldn't happen because it would mean Humans brought the Orcs with them. But the idea behind a half orc would be that Orcs are a genetic offshoot of Humans capable of interbreeding. They don't say much about Orcs or how long they've been around. That's why the Classes are the way they are. The only "Druid-like" thing in the Imperial side was the Green Mage which is an Arcane Caster not a Divine caster like Druid. Which is why the Clerical Domains have the Nature domains rather than an actual Druid. Those gods were clerical in nature, not druidic. In the Solasta Campaign there WAS NO Divine magic until the Humans came over from their world bringing their Gods with them. Well if they tell you it's not a part of the campaign, and you beg for it anyway and so they put resources into making it just for the people who wanted it anyway, It isn't about "fleecing people" its about giving you what you wanted even though it shouldn't have even been in there in the first place.Īnd if that's the case, then you're the one that's going to pay for it, not them. The only reason its in there now is because people begged for it. It was never a part of the Solasta Campaign Lore. No the bottom line is, it wasn't supposed to even be in there. Multitudes of paid DLC, ala Paradox games, is NOT the right way to proceed. But $10 for a couple of races/classes? The $$:value ratio aint there. ![]() I, and I am sure the vast majority of others, would have no qualms with paying $19.99 for an EXPANSION with additional campaign content AND new races/classes. IIRC, CoM was a $39.99 game at launch with a 20-25% discount. Ala LOD for Diablo II, or the BG expansions etc. Originally posted by Grumpy Old Dude:The "right" way to have added classes/races etc, would have been along with additional campaign and as an expansion. ![]() ![]() Plan, design, develop, customize, test and maintain computer software and applications or systems that address specific user needs. ![]() The following are some common tasks that software developers may perform.

This solves the AUTO_INCREMENT problem 2 discussed above, if you regularly delete the oldest IDs. ![]() When sequences reach their maximum value, they can restart from the minimum. Don’t forget to comment to let me know that you’d appreciate it. I can show how to do this in a future article, if there is interest. It is worth mentioning that MariaDB supports sequences, which allow to generate a numeric ID that is unique across multiple tables. To find out how to make sure that the maximum won’t be reached, see How to monitor that AUTO_INCREMENT columns won’t reach their limit. ![]() This doesn’t necessarily mean that a table has billions of rows: AUTO_INCREMENT values are wasted if rows are deleted, or if a transaction that inserts rows rolls back. Yet, in many cases even that limit is reached. You might think that, if you use BIGINT UNSIGNED, the limit will never be reached. But even this statement will fail if some numbers exist in the table that are higher than num. Even if there are holes, the missing number won’t be regenerated unless you run ALTER TABLE tab AUTO_INCREMENT = num. When the maximum value is reached, trying to insert new rows will result in an error.The generation of AUTO_INCREMENT values is governed by a lock at a table level.įor write-intensive workloads this can result in frequent waits.In this way, integer numbers will be generated in order. For more details, see Why Tables need a Primary Key in MariaDB and MySQL.Īn easy way to satisfy this requirement is to use an AUTO_INCREMENT primary key. But in InnoDB, tables are physically ordered by the primary key. This is true for any B-Tree index with any storage engine, because these indexes are ordered data structures, and inserting a value in the middle of an ordered data structure is not very efficient. In InnoDB tables, primary key values should be inserted in a chronological order. Then we’ll discuss how to use UUID primary keys in practice. First of all, let’s see what the pros and cons are compared to alternatives. For more discussions on this topic, see Working with MD5 or other hashes. If you use ascii, it will take 36 characters. If you use the utf8mb4 character set, it will take 72 bytes. If you store the same value in the form of a string representation, it will be 36 characters. INSERT INTO album (uuid, band_uuid, title) VALUES (UUID(), 'Machine Head') INSERT INTO band (uuid, name) VALUES 'Deep Purple') but if we use ProxySQL or MaxScale we want all queries to be sent theoretically it's unnecessary to run this SELECT in a transaction See our article on MariaDB RETURNING Statements.Ī way to generate a UUID and use it multiple times is the following: The RETURNING syntax is very useful if you need to know the automatically generated UUIDs that you insert. Another function, SHORT_UUID(), returns shortened UUIDs, but these values are not of the UUID type. But, as mentioned above, when inserting values this difference is irrelevant. The only difference is that UUID() returns string representations of UUIDs with dashes, and the second omits the dashes. The latter has been added for Oracle compatibility. You can do it with the UUID() function, or with the SYS_GUID() function. Inserting UUIDs as literals can be useful if they are generated by external services, but most of the times you will want MariaDB to generate them automatically. The following ways to insert a value are equivalent: INSERT INTO uuid_test VALUES Strings can contain dashes that make them more human-readable, but it’s optional. We can type these literals as strings or as hexadecimal numbers. To create a UUID column, use the following command: CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE uuid_test ( Let’s see how to work with the UUID type. How to write and read UUIDs in MariaDB SQL This MAC address guarantees UUID uniqueness. a MAC address (on Linux and FreeBSD, including containers and virtual machines).a 60 bits timestamp that represents the number of hundreds of nanoseconds elapsed since the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar (15 October 1582).This means that the following components are used to generate a UUID: What are UUIDsĪ UUID is a value of 128 bits, designed to be unique. In this article we will discuss how to use the UUID type, and why it is often wise to use it as a primary key. The first long-term support (LTS) version to include it is 10.11, which was declared stable in February 2023. MariaDB introduced the UUID data type in version 10.7. ![]() ![]() Benefits of general coverageĪpps like Amateur Radio Exam Prep make exam practice easy and convenient But as I mentioned, this compromise is much less profound in current transceiver design, and general coverage is status quo. The truth is that its filters and performance were most favorable for the ham radio bands. Was the IC-735 as good as a proper tabletop receiver? No. For years, in fact, it was my main SWLing rig. Still, in 1997, my Icom IC-735 met all of my ham radio and SWLing expectations. Today, receiver architecture can better accommodate general coverage without compromising sensitivity and selectivity on the ham bands. In most cases, there was a compromise to performance when the receiver was opened to general coverage reception, so many manufactures held to a ham-band-only platform to optimize performance where hams sought it most. Some radios implemented general coverage receiving better than others. Many transceivers, starting in the 1980s, employed a general coverage design as a feature of the radio. So, what is “general coverage”––?Ī ham transceiver with “general coverage” means that the receiver portion of the radio is not limited to the ham bands only these receivers typically receive between 100 kHz and 30 MHz (i.e., the full medium and shortwave radio spectrum). I realized then that a ham radio transceiver and receiver–in the same radio–were within my financial grasp. Of course, its sensitivity surpassed anything I had ever owned, especially considering that the rig was hooked up to a proper outdoor wire antenna. Needless to say, I was absolutely amazed by the number of stations one could hear on this ham radio transceiver. Later, I asked Eric if the ’735 could also tune in shortwave radio broadcasters? His energetic response: “Sure! The ‘735 is general coverage,” then demonstrated by tuning to the 31M band. It was my first time ever tuning a tabletop rig, and I was instantly hooked. I recall very well tuning around the ham bands at Eric’s QTH and being most impressed with how the IC-735 seemed to pull signals out of the static. Eric, along with another friend/elmer, Mike (K8RAT) encouraged me to look for a used IC-735 for an affordable first HF radio. Then, as I was studying for my license in 1997, ham buddy Eric McFadden (WD8RIF) invited me over to his house to test drive his Icom IC-735 transceiver. ![]() The Icom IC-735 general coverage transceiver ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, after you dodge all the names, a bedroom will appeared at the screen while you, the player is sleeping on the bed (NOTE: if you want this to happen, you must stay with Toriel.) Soon, you are in a your soul mode and you have to dodge all the creators of the game's names. Then, the credits will roll and showed the normal THE END screen. After you've done with the true pacifist route after fighting Omega Flowey, you will walk out from the underground and united with the main characters in the game (except Mettaton). If you want to get this route, you must do the genocide run first and then reset and do pacifist route (using your old save file if i'm not mistaken). This post brought to you with the help of a goddamn owl.This route is mixed up. Deleting this file, of course, causes Chara to never remember the no-mercy run. The True Reset of No-Mercy wiped their memories too, and they can only be brought back through the systeminformation file. That would explain why they don’t kill Flowey before he interferes, or attack Sans before he’s on guard in the second No-Mercy, and why they act the exact same on Pacifist and all other runs before the very end, why they don’t suggest turning Mettaton around, etc, and why Frisk can’t remember to shake Sans’s hand, or anything else. Maybe they were unable to use the “awfultest” before the end, or maybe they let themselves have a clear mind through soulless runs to avoid boredom, or set the file to only trigger if True Pacifist or another No Mercy occurred. I think the “check” for this file may be called “awfultest”.Īs for the reason Chara only gets their memories back at the end, it’s unclear. This file will bring back their memories of the No-Mercy run, even in the case of a True Reset (when Undertale.ini is wiped). See, when the world is erased in No-Mercy, Chara creates this little file: Chara is as chill as they always are on any normal run. Frisk doesn’t shake Sans’s hand, no one remembers them even slightly, etc etc. This is the case with a No-Mercy True Reset as well. ![]() And you also get to rename Chara, which you can’t do on regular resets. Chara doesn’t know to suggest turning Mettaton around. Frisk no longer looks bored at Mettaton’s speech. In other words, both Frisk and Chara can remember what happened (presumably, with the same exactness that Flowey does) before they reset.īut these things don’t happen after a True Reset. Look bored during Mettaton’s song (which allows it to be skipped)…Īnd Chara suggests to Frisk to turn Mettaton around early before he can start monologuing: On regular resets, Frisk remembers what happened. Flowey remembers nothing, Toriel remembers nothing, even Sans remembers nothing. A true reset occurs after the soul deal automatically, to bring the world back to 0. Now let’s look at Undertale.ini after the soul deal. It’s a “true” reset no one can remember a thing, however slightly.Įven Flowey remembers nothing after a True Reset. ![]() Undertale.ini file after you True Reset after Pacifist:Īll values are erased. These “echoes” and “feelings” don’t occur after a True Reset, however. In other words, Undertale.ini contains their “memories”. Sans is lowkey pissed at you for killing Papyrus on your last run, if you’re a complete monster.Īll these values are stored in Undertale.ini, because your save gets wiped if you save over a reset. What Flowey gets to be annoyed at you for upon meeting him again… Whether or not you befriended Undyne, and if she remembers it… Undertale.ini before/after a regular Reset:Īs you can see, the values in Undertale.ini are kept after regular resets.ĭetermine what flavor Toriel “remembers” you picking… To understand how this is possible, we need to look at the effects of resets of all types on Undertale.ini. ![]() Why doesn’t Chara now try to take a boss monster soul? Why does their narration stay the same, and actually get positive in the same places? Why doesn’t anything change at all? Neither Chara nor Frisk can remember the events No-Mercy after the soul deal.

However, it is important to note that battery life is not linear. For example, a smartphone with a 3,000 mAh battery will typically last longer than a smartphone with a 2,000 mAh battery. In general, the higher the mAh rating of a battery, the longer it will last between charges. Now that we understand what mAh is, let’s take a closer look at how it affects battery life. However, mAh is a good starting point for understanding battery capacity and comparing different devices. Other factors, such as the type of device, the screen brightness, and the usage patterns, can also have a significant impact on battery life. ![]() ![]() It is important to note that mAh is not the only factor that determines battery life. This means that a battery with a capacity of 3,000 mAh can supply 3 amps of current for one hour, or 1.5 amps for two hours, and so on. The milliampere-hour is a small unit of measurement, with one milliampere-hour equaling one-thousandth of an ampere-hour (Ah). Specifically, it represents the amount of current that a battery can supply for one hour before it is fully discharged. Simply put, mAh is a measure of how much electrical charge a battery can hold. Now that we have a basic understanding of battery technology, we can delve into the concept of mAh. However, they are also expensive to produce and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Lithium-ion batteries are lightweight, rechargeable, and have a high energy density (meaning they can store a lot of energy in a small space). ![]() There are many types of batteries, but the most common type used in portable electronic devices is the lithium-ion battery. When a battery is connected to a circuit, a chemical reaction occurs between the electrodes and the electrolyte, generating a flow of electrons through the circuit. This flow of electricity can be harnessed to power electronic devices.īatteries are devices that store electrical energy chemically and release it as needed. At its core, electricity is the flow of charged particles (usually electrons) through a conductor, such as a wire. The Basics of Electricity and Battery Technologyīefore we can dive into mAh and battery capacity, we need to understand the basics of electricity and battery technology. By the end of this blog, you will have a better understanding of mAh and its role in battery life, allowing you to make more informed decisions when choosing electronic devices. We will cover the basics of electricity and battery technology, and explain how mAh is used to measure the amount of energy a battery can store. In this blog, we will delve into the details of mAh, explaining what it is, how it works, and why it matters for consumers. MAh, short for milliampere-hour, is a unit of measurement used to indicate the capacity of a battery. Here is where the idea of mAh comes into play. Making sure that our devices have adequate battery life to last the entire day is one of our toughest difficulties, though.

Its corniness and overflowing sincerity were features, not bugs. Led by showrunner Bill Lawrence, Ted Lasso shared the same bouncy and kinetic DNA infused in Lawrence’s prior work for linear TV ( Scrubs, Cougar Town, Spin City).

Shows that started out as outliers ( Curb Your Enthusiasm, Louie) became blueprints ( Atlanta, Master of None, Dave). The days of SNL alums like Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, and Mike Myers going on to lucrative movie careers have been over for longer than most would like to admit, with it being 10-plus years since Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler consistently cleared $120 million to $150 million at the domestic box office.Īs the bottom fell out for theatrical comedies and fewer of the practitioners made the jump to movie stardom, the world of TV became a refuge. The year before the pandemic decimated movie theaters, there wasn’t a single comedy in the top 25 at the domestic box office. With time, Lasso and Barry accentuated the ongoing crisis of a genre and industry-one where the commercial viability of comedy is in flux with little reprieve in sight.Ĭollectively, theatrical comedies haven’t grossed over $2 billion domestically since 2011 that number was halved by 2018. As the accolades and viewers mounted, so too did a push for a particular brand of seriousness- and, by extension, “prestige.” Series that started as comedies adept at drama settled into becoming dramas with small spurts of comedy. Yet over time, each series crept toward similar conclusions. Ted Lasso has become a four-quadrant flagship for a streaming service in search of an identity, while Barry routinely punched above its narrative and filmmaking weight class. In scope, quality, and overall execution, these programs couldn’t be more different. Do you start with the tragic arc of NoHo Hank and Cristobal or the time skip that gives a conspiracy-pilled Barry a child? Travel back even further to 2018, and try to account for how far Bill Hader’s darkly irreverent show about a hitman turned aspiring actor has come from its initially goofy and contained premise. Imagine trying to describe to your pandemic-era self that the quirky half-hour sitcom you just found on Apple TV+ about a lovable American football coach turned soccer manager was destined to become an hour-long prestige dramedy about the deep psychological wounds of every person tangentially connected to a sports team.
