Missed yesterday's blog post, so you get a bonus weekend post today
Yesterday, I finally acquired Luna's Howl and put it to some work in the Crucible:
Today, I'll be talking about what weapons I've paired it with and what I think of it so far.
First and foremost, I highly recommend you run hand cannon scavenger and reserve perks if you can. With Drop Mag, you burn through ammo pretty quickly. I actually ran out during a comp match last night.
Secondly: Magnificen
Titans punch things, it's what they're known for doing, it's the main thing they do.
This build will knock a Titan out of his One Eyed Mask.
Let's start by talking about top tree Arcstrider, Way of the Warrior.
There are three perks of this subclass that I want to draw attention to:
Combination Blow. Kills with this ability trigger health regenaration and increase melee damage for a short period.
Combat Flow. Melee kills recharge your dodge ability.
Dead
It's a new week, time for another blog post. Today: Zippy Boi v2: Hunter Edition
Let's talk about the Iron Banner/Control gamemode.
Running around capturing zones and killing people to gain points is fun. It can be tough sometimes, but it is fun. Especially if you equip the right loadout for doing so.
Last time Saladin visited the tower, I perfected what I believe is my ideal loadout for the Control mode.
The parts of this loadout are fairly simple:
In my
This is possibly the most map-specific build I've ever done. Be that as it may, it's still super fun.
The main components of this build are the Last Word hand cannon and the Orewing's Maul grenade launcher.
Let's start by talking about The Last Word:
It is a 225 RPM hand cannon featuring the Fan Fire perk: this weapon can be fired quickly and continuously. Faster reload and increased accuracy on successive hip-fire damage.
This hand cannon will 4-tap a typical G
This is just a quick post asking people never to do what this guy did:
This is an Icarus Grip mod, on a grenade launcher.
But why, Crunchy? Icarus Grips improve in-air accuracy, right? On most weapons, yes.
However, all grenade launchers are 100% accurate from the air anyway. So this is essentially a waste of an Icarus Mod that this player will never use again unless they dismantle this Orewing's Maul.
Icarus Grip is the most pointless mod you could
Going back onto the main topic of the blog though, I decided that I'm gonna use Linux for the very first time in My life on this UDOO-BOLT-V8 only! I've been using Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 for the majority of My life which have served Me well but I figured Hey!, why not try Linux as I had similarly said above. For those are curious, I've decided to install Ubuntu for now..., but I'm gonna be doing a ton of customising which will include some daily updates he
So I've decided to main Warlock for a few weeks as I attempt to hone my skill on and improve with that class.
I discovered Transversive Steps last night. In case you don't know what those are, T-Steps are a very fun Warlock exotic boot that makes you sprint faster and reloads your equipped weapon as you do it. Some of you may have gone to the same place I did.
Immediately, out came the Parcel of Stardust and the Recluse. Why that specific combination, you ask? I'm glad you asked
I am a very firm believer in the Quickdraw perk. I believe that I can say, without a doubt, that it's my favorite perk in the game.
Some background...
I like to play anti-meta outside the competitive playlist. For the purpose of this post, that means running an auto rifle. One that isn't Suros Regime. It means running an auto rifle with low recoil direction and stability stats. It means running a Halfdan-D in the Crucible.
What does running a Halfdan-D in the Crucibl
This is one I often see and often question about what's really going on: the idea that Task Manager is halfway broken and what it reports is inaccurate and shouldn't be trusted. Instead, trust some other program! The reason why this assertion puzzles me is that it's a system tool that Microsoft readily makes available. I'm pretty certain as well that companies, especially major hardware manufacturers, makes sure that Task Manager in Windows reports at least something resembling what they're desi
At this point, you already know my stance on the Epic Games Store. It's not worth repeating but to sum it up, it's a very bare-laden store that utilizes a questionable-at-best tactic in order to catch up quickly to Valve's Steam, the current market leader.
Whilst I've not been a fan of AAA releases going Epic Exclusive, I've usually left an exception for most indies, provided some conditions are met.
Take Ooblets, the latest indie title headed by 2 partners to be going
Since I seem to talk about assertions that people seem to throw around left and right, I thought I'd start (yet) another blog series, Discussing Myths, where I take an assertion and explain why it's a myth. Or at the very least, spreading more light on it so people know what's going on beyond the surface.
So for an introduction post, I figure a shotgun approach to various assertions with shorter responses are in order. If you have more you want me to look at, feel free to drop a repl
This is just a fun thing of 10 programming languages ranked. Random, and you might not even know them.
10 - Python - Good for beginners, has tons of use, BUT: Slowest language, worst syntax, has less uses than it claims
9 - C - Much better than python except not beginner friendly and is slowly being killed out by C++
8 - C++ - Speaking of which this is just a more complex C, but nicer in my opinion
7 - F# - FUCK R is what F# stands for. F# is great for data science. Fuck R.
6 - D -
How and why I made Syntatical (an NPM package that changes how you write JavaScript) Basics of Syntatical:
Goal:
The initial goal was to make an NPM package that changed how JavaScript is written. Not to make it "easier" or "weirder", just a different way to write it.
How it works:
Syntactical basically just puts JavaScript code into functions. Making multi-line functions one-line. It also makes console.log shorter, I did this because I hate using console.log() to log every
How to PROPERLY Make and Package a PyPI module
First thing is first: Python
This is a case you are making a PYTHON module and unless you WANT to go into the nitty gritty of compilers and binaries for lets say JavaScript, stick with Python files.
Proper folder-ing
This is how your folder should be set up (with files
Creating the actual functionality of the package
Creating the package just requires code that does SOMETHING. Here I will just use a sim
I've been stewing on this for a while (and I kind of didn't want to stomp on @Arika S's) but I figured... why not go for it? So here's the AMA if you want to ask me a question, any question! Yes you can ask anything and I will answer. But just so you're aware of the "rules" about this:
The answer that I give may not be the answer you want.
Until it gets added to this post, I'll accept the question. But once the question is added to this post, I will ignore future repeats of that que

Well guys here, we are, the end of the week but we didn't hit our goal of getting 10th, but we will get there, just keep folding.
First place - The crown once again rests on the head of The King, very much as expected. @Den-Fi you are a god walking amongst us, you sailed right through the event without a care in the world. We all Raise a glass to you and your Crunching prowess.
Second place - We have @miker07 talking the second step on the podium, well done to you man, o
Well guys, it looks like production is soaring high! That is a good thing!
In first, once again as wholly expected by this point we have the king, @Den-Fi with 47.1 million points, He looks to have hit his stride and is quite comfortable, but with @miker07 only 3m points behind, holding second with 44.1 million points, is he too comfortable. @leadeater continues to hold onto them Tesla cards showing 33.2 million points leading him to holding on the third position, Not far behind that
Well, it is day four, we are now over half way through the week. Oh, how times flies when your having fun Stressing over spreadsheets and time-zones.
So over the last 24 hours or so We have seen some movement in the bard, so why not let us go take a look!
In first, as expected, we have the king! @Den-Fi is holding onto poll position, ready to defend his crown, with 38.7 million points, @miker07 seems to be faltering, with the gap widening as he only has 35.8 million! @le
Well guys, yet another super super late blog... Most of you already know I fell asleep at my PC last night.
All of our participants are seeing themselves in the trenches, stalemated with one another, unable to pass through no mans land in order to break the deadlock.
In first place we have the king @Den-Fi with 30.7m points, @miker07 isnt too far behind the mark there with 28.2m points, if only he could fine a little more power he may even be able to knock the king from t
Well guys its been an exciting 24 hours!
The king @Den-Fi continues to hold onto first with 22.7m points, But we have a challenger, @miker07 who is holding onto 2nd with 20.7m has surpassed the king in production, but can he maintain this to take the crown? @leadeater is the last in the top 3 with 12.6 million, with such a huge opening in front of him he must be questioning himself, wondering if there is any way he can progress further. In 4th we have @Gorgon with 12.2m points
In the beginning, there was nothing but machine, man, and ranks!
This is just a PSA for the new guys here, the folding team is a small close knit community, so here's a few things I'd like you all to keep in mind. It doesn't hurt to say thank you, if someone has genuinely helped you out don't forget to drop a reaction on their posts, help others where ever you can and finally we are a team first and always.
It has been some time since I has to write a daily report, so b
