Holy ****ing **** Brutal mode in Uncharted is the blatantly most unfair and poorly balanced difficulty mode I've ever seen.

GitHub is exciting!HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
So, remember the huge pr I was walking about?
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/4178
just check the up right corner, +259 , -42, these are the numbers of line of code that was added and deleted. Together, it means this pr modifies 301 lines of code!
Woah!
So, after hours of code review (just check the first comment, THAT is a big code review, but trust me, it's necessary), it is now pending. Hopefully we hear more about it soon enough
But what does it do?
An explanation to this requires explanation of what is a register.
Your CPU has memory, yeah, I know, it has the cache, but it also have very vwery very small amount of memory mainly used to process instruction before the result is stored in soemthing like the ram. These memory are more used temporaily and are constantly overwritten because the isntructiosn needs them. These are the registers (no, not the.....dumb windows setting thing).
So, the instructiions can load stuff from ram into a register, perform math on them, move registers around, store them in ram, etc..., it can basically do the msot basic stuff with them.
What about dolphin? Well dolphin has a debugger which I have been determined to make it more usable (yeah, that progress report was right, but that's because I talked with the author a bit once). That debugger not only allows to see the assembler, but also the register because of course, you need to knwo the values of the registers to understand stuff.
Great, awwsome, unfortunately it has one particular annoyance: data representation. See, they only have one format, hexadecimal. It's fine for viewing stuff like an address or a custom formatted data, but for numbers, epsecially signed one and floating point one.......it is just impossible you have to use an online converter.
Let me give you an exampe, -19 in hexadecimal is ffffffed as signed integer, signed integer are weird because the first bit (the one that worth the most) serve as the sign so for this thing, yiou have to count from 0 backwards until you reach ffffffed and since you subtracted 19, you have -19.
Obviously, any human would find this ridiculous so they'll jsut use a converter made for this. But where it becomes more complicated is floating point. A float is.....convulated in formatting I mean what is 1.0 in float expressed in hexa? 3f800000, yeah and worse, double has different thigns for the same number (1.0 is 3ff0000000000000 in double).
And let's go back to registers, there's 32 general purpose register and 32 flaoting pont one. The GPR can hold integer and float while the fpr are made to hold double. You quickly get the idea of how annoying it can be to quickly see "oh, there's 2.0 in this register", you need a way to have different formatting available.
That's exactly what this pr does!
A right click and you ahve all the format.
It takes a lot of code and time to do because it involves MANY type conversion and MANY structuration. I had to restructure around 3 times, 2 times as a wip, once in code review. And then you ahd to think about parsing them back to they can be written to the register in that format.
So yeah, glad this pr is submitted, hopefully more stuff comes, but I do have other ideas on the debugger
Honestly, Git is much more exciting.GitHub is exciting!
...I mean, my only contributions are solo projects, an Undertale fangame that went nowhere, and an itch.io issue, but it's still exciting!
Well it is called Brutal Mode for a reason.Holy ****ing **** Brutal mode in Uncharted is the blatantly most unfair and poorly balanced difficulty mode I've ever seen.
Don't really care about either of those things.Well, Apple iPhone 7 and PS4 Pro.
What do you guys about either of them? Disappointment seems to be everywhere.
The only announcement that got my attention was Super Mario Run. iPhone 7 and PS4 Pro both seem to be simple upgrades that really don't do much besides the usual specification bumps.Well, Apple iPhone 7 and PS4 Pro.

And earphones you can't use on any other phones and can easily get lost.Heyyyy who doesn't wanna pay $160 for a pair of headphones you can get on Amazon for $20, am I right? Eh?
Funnily enough, Apple's share price actually dropped after the presentation. I think that's a pretty good indication of the public opinion. lelNot to mention, like, earbuds are sooooo easy to lose as they are. Paying that much money for something that's even easier to lose is just... wow. This really should be something that bites Apple in the arse pretty hard! And yet... I could see people not caring and splurging anyway. There are way cheaper phones out there that will do everything you want (and you can put your perfectly fine $5-10 earbuds that have accidentally ended up in the wash 4 times in them), and yet people will more than willingly shell out hundreds of clams every few months for an unnecessary "upgrade". My previous phone was $80 and worked really well, at least until it fell onto concrete screen down and sort of shattered. Now I have a $40 phone that... eh, it still gets the job done. (I wish I splurged a bit more but I try to be somewhat frugal.)
People still play Smash Bros?I hate for glory
Yes. I never play online though.People still play Smash Bros?
I play online sometimes!Yes. I never play online though.
Don't you mean music by The Belmonts?https://themegas.bandcamp.com/track/bloody-tears
New Megas music. EP based off of Castlevania music.

I just hope both genders get a lot more customization.
AWWWWWWW YIS. There's the confirmation I was waiting for! Trainer customization is back, baby!
Male trainers could use more hairstyle options.I just hope both genders get a lot more customization.
Yeah, the sheer usefulness of version control means I now use git even for tiny solo projects. Now I can easily fix it if I ruin everything!Honestly, Git is much more exciting.
See, github is just a site that can hosts git repository, there's others site that does it, but github is by far the msot popular one.
But Git, the version control system, it;s actualyl very aweosme to learn. It's VERY complicated, but once you get how it works......you jsut kinda get it and it works so well.
Like, you could back back in time in the history, do changes go back forward and then the history looks clean as if you never rewinded in the first place!
And all the things about having different branches.......that is also aweosme. See, when I have an idea, new branch, checkout on my machine and then I have a copy of my master branch (the "base" branch sicne it';s directly forked from the dolphin official repository). Because it is a copy, I can do whatever the freak I want, I don;t even care if I break it, just reset and go back, worst case is delete the branch and create one and redo the same thing. It's so safe I lvoe this.
I have been thinking of writting a blog post on that, but now that I actually lived what it MEANS to have your software open source, I actually love it even more. To me, it's fantastic that a beginner in c++ like me can fork dolphin by clicking one button and have my own version of dolphin that I can do whatever I want with it and submit my changes if i want to.
It;s so ridiculously easy to fork, there's just one button to do it....
Awesome
I understand the reasoning behind it, but the removal of the standard headphone jack really bugs me. Replacing an extremely widespread standard with a proprietary one is never good. Unlike often-cited examples like Apple phasing out floppy disks, the old standard doesn't really have any issues (except waterproofing, but the Samsung Galaxy engineers figured that one out).Well, Apple iPhone 7 and PS4 Pro.
What do you guys about either of them? Disappointment seems to be everywhere.
I mean, actually legit broken, as in, "this needed some more playtesting" broken.Well it is called Brutal Mode for a reason.
She is!chicken is pretty good in nuclear throne
I wanted to respond to this earlier, but I forgot to do so then.Well, Apple iPhone 7 and PS4 Pro.
What do you guys about either of them? Disappointment seems to be everywhere.
Yeah, certainly bummed me out. But think of it this way: just like William A. before him, Caesar went out giving Joseph unique help in the end (Namely the antidote for his heart rings).Jojo Bizarre Adventure?

****, WHY ALL OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTE DIE?!?!?;_;
I HATE THIS WORLD!!!! :C
So it's like Halo 2 Legendary where you can be killed instantly upon starting a level by the damn Jackal snipers.I mean, actually legit broken, as in, "this needed some more playtesting" broken.
There are scenes that are impossible to beat until you get lucky as you can't get into cover fast enough before the enemies kill you in 1-2 shots.
For example:
I was actually saddened more by Avdol and Iggy, especially with the sand part at the end. But caesar's was rough too.CAESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
