Project M Social Thread Gold

[MechWarriorNY]

^Yeah, by vocal minorities who refuse to actually do anything about their woes, instead of everyone else who plays and gits gud.

 

[Grey Belnades]

8 hours later, and I still have no idea what @ CORY and @ Player -0 were on about.
Something about rap videos and backing it up...?
nvm
Attempting to understand the inner workings and machinations of the social thread will just melt my brain
That being said it's probably an in-joke or some obscure anime reference.

You see, when they're referring to backing it up, they referring to backing up the plunger from the toilet. See, when rappers talk about "paper" in their rap videos, they're actually referring to toilet paper. They often flush it down along with the "hos" which is code for body pillows. They do so in order to add "diss" to them "hos" but those two things can clog up the toilet so they "back it up" in order to fix the toilet.

 

[Lizalfos]

Can we just talk about Fox and not "Spacies".

Nobody is playing Falco right now and I think he is at least a few characters below Fox.

Like pls don't nerf him again.

Except for giving Brawl Shine to the furry trio because Melee Shine is plain bad game design.

#BrawlShine #Truth

 

[MechWarriorNY]

Bad, but fun, and not garbage like the Brawl variants are.
:^)

 

[Lizalfos]

Falco without his current shine would be one of the worser characters in the game.

 

[Saxophoneoftime]

Just took a massive dump.

 

[FPSWalrus]

Just took a massive dump.

its funny cause this an actual ****post

 

[Lizalfos]

That reminds me, I need to start dumping my code here for the lols.

This cycles through a bunch of text files and then sees if they are full of randomness or contain messages using Chi square.
What things are calling what or whatever:
File Organizer (main) -> TextFileData(creates my kinda pointless objects) -> TextFileIO (reads the text files)
Ciphers just holds a bunch of methods for basic decryption.

Java is icky

You forgot to remove your last name on the second class, unless that name is some dank meme that I hadn't seen before

Upon closer inspection, your AP comp sci class was significantly more interesting than mine

 

[Lizalfos]

I don't care. Come at me weriods.

And icky compared to what? Or in what way? At least it isn't Python, so I can make my code as ugly as I want.

 

[Draco_The]

I don't have one single storage point for backup, I use 2 different cloud services, my laptop, phone, tablet, and 1TB hard drive, and my USB drives in order to store anything important. Also, thanks to Github's student pack I have around $100 in credit for a server, so I could store stuff on that as well

My reasoning is that if I stored everything on a single device then I would have nothing if something bad happened to it, but I'm also somewhat paranoid of using solely cloud services for privacy purposes, so I choose to store most of what I have physically

I for sure don't have so many things to backup my stuff. Just a 1TB hard drive that I was gifted some time ago and was like "wtf, let's do a backup!".

I may also backup some things to Dropbox though. I have an account there and I don't even know why. The same goes for my 5-year-old SmashBoards account.

 

[drakargx]

I don't care. Come at me weriods.

And icky compared to what? Or in what way? At least it isn't Python, so I can make my code as ugly as I want.

I don't know how to explain it very well, but it's way too verbose. Like most of my problems with it was because I wanted to do something but because the nature of how everything is set it forced me to think of a roundabout way of solving it. C# is pretty similar to java but I've had less issues with it being overly verbose. The downside being that it only really runs on windows(but official cross platform support is being worked on daily which is a good thing)

 

[MechWarriorNY]

Every time.

 

[standardtoaster]

I haven't had much experience outside of java but I like that it's verbose. The extra "details" required help me know what exactly is going on. I don't really type all that much because I can use the autosuggestion in Eclipse for what I want to do. For example, instead of typing System.out.println(); I can just type sysout and hit control+space and it expands that. idk I probably really like java because it's the first language I've been taught and am using that isn't assembly, lol. I'm taking a C++ course right now and I don't like how I have to declare functions, use includes, etc. Java just takes care of that stuff automatically.

[Lizalfos]

Wow, what a casual. Everyone knows that notepad is the best IDE. (BlueJ is essentially notepad that highlights classes and methods in pretty colors.)

Say, causal, explain to me the difference between C++ and C#.
Which is higher level; which is lower level? Are they both object based, or is that just C#?

 

[Draco_The]

C is my main programming language. I also know a bit (just a bit) of Lua and assembly. Next year I'll have Java.

I learned C because I wanted to try making games for the DS (I was fascinated by all the people making homebrews) and the "make a game in 5 mins for the DS" apps just... ugh. I started using the PAlib libraries and then switched to nflib. None of my prototypes went anywhere though lol

I had a Super Paper Mario game (menu and a veeeeeery small level with just a readable sign and a Boo with a very simple AI), one of those torture games (two main versions where only the first one was actually playable since I wanted to make a revamp but didn't even reach a playable state) and a port of One Button Bob (properly named One Touch Bob (I'm so damn original I know)) and some others that are not worth mentioning. One Touch Bob was the project that went the farthest out of all of them, but when I updated nflib I replaced all the source code by mistake and lost it all. Hahahaha, now that I think about it it was very funny, because I DIDN'T HAVE A BACKUP.

I may still have the roms somewhere. If I find them I'll post them here. Just... don't expect anything groundbreaking. Apart from being an amateur work (I basically made them as I was learning) they lack any kind of polishment, and the code of all of them was of course awful. Like AWFUL.

Yeah I know what you mean, it's actually a perfect language to start with because it's so verbose. I could have skipped the c++ course that I'm in because I skipped APCS but I chose to skip another course. It's so different, things like function prototypes and pass by reference/pointer are things that are just handled by java but have to be taken care of with c++.

Wow, what a casual. Everyone knows that notepad is the best IDE. (BlueJ is essentially notepad that highlights classes and methods in pretty colors.)

Say, causal, explain to me the difference between C++ and C#.
Which is higher level; which is lower level? Are they both object based, or is that just C#?

C++ is lower level. C# is more like microsofts answer to java. Both languages have support for object oriented programming but in C++ I guess you could say it's tacked on.

 

[Lizalfos]

So once I have a proficient understanding of Java, if I wanted to have more variety in the languages I know, learning C# would be kind of redundant.

I'm kind of interested in HTML now that HTML5 has made Flash obsolete. I think the indie games on the Wii U are created with HTML5.

Man, i've been hyped for splatoon since they announced it and after seeing the recent stuff I can safely say that I will definitely be picking it up.

I can't wait to shower my enemies in copious amounts of my ink.

If we get to pick colors, i'm choosing white.

 

[mimgrim]

Falco without his current shine would be one of the worser characters in the game.

I honestly don't agree and think Falco players rely too much on the move as is and it isn't even that good of a move for him against a good number of characters (Still dumb design though).

I'm being completely serious with this statement.

What the **** are you guys talking about. Laser is way worse than shine. Without shine Falco can't pillar. If Falco can't pillar then he essentially has no combos.
Where the hell did you get the idea that "slow fox with less laser damage overall but hitstun that might lead into a grab or jab reset people" is a good character. Don't bring up something along the lines of "well Brawl Falco was good" because he has a crazy chain grab and way more lasers in a meta where playing campy is a lot easier/lucrative. There is no way you can convince me that Falco would be good in this game without his current shine. You would have to explain to me how that character could even win, because to me it is completely unfeasible.

Help me explain to these people why they are dumb @PMS | Glaceon.ez.™

I could explain it to you.

But I don't think it is worth the effort with that kind of attitude.

I'll listen, but I really think shine makes or breaks the character.

Abusing uptilt is really the only thing that works, and it just isn't the same thing at all when it comes down to it.
