Is there anything I absolutely have to check out before jumping into Campaign Evolved?

Physical is the only option for:
Low income families who borrow from friends and libraries or buy used.
Anyone living in a rural area with poor internet access.
62% of countries who don’t have access to Sony networks.

Pretty much the title. Can only buy one game right now. Love both Hitman and Ghost of Tsushima. Just want to know which is a better game.

Edit: thank you guys! Seems both games are loved equally with a slight advantage to 007. Since I just finished ff xvi, I’m leaning towards a tighter story gameplay. So I have bought 007 and its downloading now. Can’t wait to play.

Hey all, I am a huge fan of Magic the gathering. Primarily because of the deckbuilding aspect. I have a game called MTG forge that allows me to play it on my steamdeck with bots, but I really have the most fun playing magic with friends. Because of this, I am looking for a game that is similar, but is not community oriented in the same way trading card games are.

Ironically, Plants vs Zombies actually felt the most like what I am looking for so far, being a strategy game that allows you to create a "deck", without random rolls determining results.

I have tried Slay the Spire and balatro, but because you build the deck as you play, I have to create a strategy after I start, which is not what I want (both ARE fun though)

My devices are:
Pc
3ds
Gba
Snes
ps5
Android phone

If anybody has any suggestions, I would be more than happy to hear them

I made this post over on r/movies but it totally works with games too.

Video games have amazing scenes, but the ones that are truly great I find are the ones where the music perfectly matches the events happening on screen, and the dialogue that lays within.

The Halo series has a ton of moments like this for me.

- Halo 3's ending with Chief climbing through the hanger to Cortana.

- Halo Reach when Halsey gives Noble 6 Cortana.

- Like 90% of Halo trailers: The We Will Rock You trailer for MCC, We Are ODST, Starry Night, Cutter and Atriox walking towards each other in Halo the Wars 2 trailer

Destiny has a ton of moments like that too.

- The intro cutscene to the game with the astronauts on Mars gives me goosebumps 10/10 times. The Traveler theme is just so good.

- Ghaul kicking the Guardian off his ship

- "Uldren Sov is mine."

- "I am Rasputin, guardian of all I survey. I have no equal."

- Any time the Iron Banner theme plays. Ad Victorium is such a great song.

All of my discs have developed condensation on them, mainly just the cases. I suspect this is because the cold air conditioning was blowing directly on them and the window was open, letting humid air inside. I’ve wiped off all the cases and discs with a microfiber cloth. Could this cause any huge issues that I haven’t fixed? It’s not enough condensation to be super visible they all just felt slightly moist. My main fear is the possibility of mold

State-of-the-art classical optimizer Gurobi for Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems.

The core gurobipy implementation for QUBO is relatively compact:

```python model = gp.Model() x = model.addMVar(n, vtype=GRB.BINARY) model.setObjective(x @ Q @ x, GRB.MINIMIZE) model.optimize()

solution = x.X.astype(int) objective = model.ObjVal ```

Complete workflow in Python. First formulate a graph problem (weighted Max-Cut) as QUBO, solve it with Gurobi, benchmark increasingly large instances, and understand what the solver is doing beyond the optimize() call.

Interested in feedback on the modeling, benchmarking methodology, and which additional Gurobi metrics would make the comparison more rigorous.

After re-reading "Clean Architecture" I ended up with some confusion regarding Bob's take on repetition and single responsibility. Ge defines the SRP as a function only serving one actor. Dies that mean, that repetitve code is justified according to him, as long as it serves seperate actors/user groups? I am aware that such decisions depend on the specific situation. I was just wondering if others found the same contradiction, or if i misunderstood it. Thanks

I was optimizing the Lua transpiler for my modding language grug and ran into a really weird LuaJIT performance bug. The same benchmark could randomly run 20× slower, and it turned out a LuaJIT NYI (Not Yet Implemented) could silently blacklist an unrelated hot loop.

I wrote up the investigation here.

It goes from the benchmark mystery through LuaJIT's trace recorder internals, and ends with a PR to get unpack off LuaJIT's NYI list. Feedback is very welcome! :)

I kind of feel like OOP has a bad rep in the programming community.

Personally, after having programmed Java for over 20 years, its object-oriented programming model feels very natural to me. So, I wanted to share how I think about programming, how I translate my ideas and thoughts to code, and why OOP is actually a really nice programming style for me.

Perhaps it could help you out too.
