In a database point of view, it's a waste : 1 simple variable vs a complex object.
I can't help it, code optimization is a big deal in my line of work.
With variables, you can use \V[] so that's pretty much the same.
Although you have a point, the interface is lacking an easy access to the variables and switches (maybe it should be suggested to the team ?).

I always welcome a code optimization, but only when it comes to performance. And clogging up the database with extra unnecessary information is not affecting the performance as far as I know. In MV case, does it really affect the end-user performance (especially if deployed on mobile)?

To be fair, I don't think it's a real concern for RPG Maker. There is most likely a small difference (data storage size, and maybe data access time), but it's probably hardly noticeable at all in this case.

Is that a thing ? lol

That's what I call it when I enter a song into youtube, listen to it, then the next 5 or so songs have to be songs I choose from the sidebar. And if possible ones I have not heard before.

And if these songs make you shoot yourself in the head, you lose.

Or live in the town Winterglen in my game, the town with 4 seasons: Winter, Still Winter, Why the $@%^ is it still winter, and Snowmelt.

Live in Alaska?

I figured Elsa was having problems with her powers again.

I was skeptical of Anthem the moment I heard it was being published by EA so...

This sounds like a way you could set up the final level for a collectathon. Instead of a flat number of one thing, it's a set of multiple tasks. Showing this early and giving the player direction can give them a real sense of- Oh, this is some random mission in what appears to be an "rpg". My bad.

And the winner is... @Redeye

This challenge can get me fired though...

Actually, yeah, Low-Level Games is an entire genre of challenge runs for gaming in general. Now I want to fight your superboss with the minimal possible exp gain.

I will die. A lot. I remember your design philosophies.

@kirbwarrior : It might be doable. I played through the game doing as few fights as possible and ended up defeating the final boss at level 44, when I'm usually high 50's/low 60's. If you tried that on the superboss you'd probably be high 40's/low 50's.

I want that.

Eh. We just take it as business as usual. You really need thick skin to work customer service.

Yep. I did customer service for 2 years for a phone company. You'd be amazed how worked up people would get over a phone

I've really heard it all. It's funny though, because everywhere I go, I see people who shop there.

Y'know what Star Trek and toilet paper have in common?

They both search Uranus for Klingons.

Love it.

bangwI' SoH - You are my loved one.

Wut?? I had Tuesday yesterday. It's 8:15am Wednesday for me. Pay me cash and I'll tell you what the lotto results were.

I think the Japanese call it "White Day". A girl usually gives the guy she likes chocolate on Valentine's Day and he reciprocates on White Day.

The joke is that March 14th is White Day. Japan splits Valentine's Day in half and White Day is the men's day to return the favor of Valentine's Day women's gifts.

I ate some chocolates one time.

Jeez.

Well--if your enemy brings friends... might as well follow suit.

396 enemies? That's my home field. Bt Builder. Open source reimplementation of the Bard's Tale Construction Kit.

The one I'm referring to is Nuclear Blast from Wizardry 8. 2 - 16 damage * power level to all enemies...but every single enemy has such high fire resistance that it should just say 0 - 2 damage, good luck.

Tfw, I think I did the same in my game lol. Said raw 120 ~ 150 dmg but not counting armor dmg reduction and elemental effectiveness that u had to calculate it urself.

@TheoAllen : As long as that reduction and effectiveness doesn't knock off about 90% of that damage for every enemy once you learn the skill you will not have done as badly.

Sure, it is very awful if put this way. Nevertheless, there must be a way that will permit us an instance with nil letters, where if we are using the English alphabet, the letters are defined as its fifteenth letter and its additional instances.

"O" is a great letter for spelling things such as Omelette

O face!

Yep. The suggestion they are giving us to make it up is to move some content to online, so that's what I'm going to work on tonight.

Well, got about one hour of lecture recorded and uploaded. Now to make up the other 11 hours I've lost.

Uuuuugh. Sorry you're dealing with that.

@The Mighty Palm Want to sue? I'll soon be a lawyer and can do a very reasonable price, about 300$/h.

@MushroomCake28 nah. I'll allow it.

Heroes or not, coming into your house for loot IS pretty rude!

Ugh! Well, whatever happens, I hope it's whatever will make it easiest on you. This situation is just awful.

By the time you all get back, Everyone will have forgotten the material.

We only met 2x before all the bad weather, so there isn't much to forget.

No worries. Maybe you are excited for it? I'm just not as it feels like I've bought everything I care to buy for a while already in the other sales.

Well, I've already got so many games that I'm not even excited by sales anymore, I just keep my humble bundle sub running.

My backlog is insane anyways. I have about 252 games on Steam.

And no one ever brought up this forum in class?

Nope, but only time my students see me on it is when I'm in the office or tutoring, and even then they just glance at it and move on.

I see. Interesting! Thanks for answering!

Sigh.... ok, i'll just stick to online crimes, k.... little po-lice man . lol, jk

They're probably dealing with a lot of people who are needing hospital visits and were only out to commit a crime.

"Please don't commit crimes. It's too cold out. I don't want to have to go out there and catch you. It's so cold that I probably WON'T come out and catch you. So please. Be cool. You love cops, right? It's so cold. Don't commit a crime."

this planet is done...

That's normal Canadian weather.

@FleshToDust True but their town and heaters are designed for that. Ours aren't.
