That's exactly what I meant. There's no such thing as hold in the set of hardware interrupts a real programmer handles.

Press Ctrl to crouch, depress Ctrl to stand.

Never used a 360 controller before, but god damn was the original Xbox controller comfy.

>>254342736
Actually, "hold" is the way the computer sends the signal to the programs. "Press" merely checks if the user didn't hold it in the last frame and is holding it in the current frame.

No one has ever used shift for crouch.

Right Ctrl to crouch

>>254343319
yeah

>>254343000
Nope; it just keeps sending the scancode to the OS's event queue. So in a period of 100ms your game's event queue has to handle something like [Ctrl,Ctrl,Ctrl,Ctrl,Ctrl,Ctrl,Ctrl,Ctrl,Ctrl]

First Ctrl makes your guy crouch, the rest are either discarded early in the handling code or just tell a crouched guy to crouch again, leading to either no effect, or in some games a prone position.

For toggle you just schedule timer events after each keypress to check for state, or if you have many toggles use an associative array between keys and timestamps, and check that periodically.

At least that's what good programmers do, and I don't play games by shit programmers.

>>254343313
I bought a Vita from GAME and they gave me a bigger memory card than advertised and two different accessory kits.

I got the impression that the guy has never sold a Vita before and had no idea what stuff he was meant to give me with it.

>>254343621
But that's exactly what I said, the computer delivers a constant signal ("hold") to you and you have to make sense of it

I work on Game and i can confirm we are pretty bro tier in my store.
At least the clerks are.
The higher ups not so much.

milton keynes game is filled with nothing but people on benefits and dudebros

>>254342434
Ya chubby coon.

>>254343767
There is no hold signal, there are repeat one-time signals.

And it's not the computer that sends them to you, it's the keyboard that sends them to the OS's interrupt handler.

Do you even IRQ?

>>254342448
pcfats pretending they want their games to be digital, you get no choice and you get less that what the physical copy gives you. Steam can also just take all your games from you if they feel like it and ban you.

Pc gaming is shit

>people using c for crouch
Enjoy your limited movement.

>>254343910
Holy shit, how specific are you gonna be? How is the same one-time signal over and over not a constant signal? It's like you're disagreeing with me because I said "fruit" and not "apple" specifically.

>>254344059
Nope.

They are completely different things. A signal that reads "hold" as you put it, bears a different information value than one that says "pressed". The latter can support polling for example, which is what USB keyboards do, since USB doesn't carry an interrupt line.

It's like you said fruit and meant homosexual.

I think I might have to drive to Newcastle now just to point and laugh.

>>254344274
It does provide an interrupt line but it's so costly that you shouldn't be using it is what I meant to say.

>>254344274
You're misinterpreting now. I put "hold" in brackets for a reason. By that I meant that when you're "holding" a key the keyboard is sending a constant signal, not that the signal is literally of value "hold".

>>254343724

I preordered one from Game, got the preorder pack thing (I don't even remember what was in it bar some absolutely terrible earphones), then cancelled and switched to a Sony store for a better bundle, and got another preorder pack.

Game are expensive as fuck.

>>254344529
Well, in that case, you shouldn't have misinterpreted my original post as "toggle crouch", which I never implied I use. You press a button, your guy crouches, you depress it your guy stands up.

I only got so serious about this debate because you had the nerve to call me pleb.

Friends?

>>254343804

Do people actually come in hoping for the staff to be "bros"?

I just want to be checked out as quickly as possible. Professionalism is better than being a bro.

>>254344651
But I never called you pleb, check my posts. I only do that when somebody is shitposting.
Maybe you mixed me up with another post in this thread?

>>254344821
Oh sorry, you responded to my response to someone who called me pleb; I naturally thought it was the same person. Maybe he's too ashamed to respond.

It's okay, I'm friends with both of you. :3

>>254344553
Some GAME stores have completely stopped supporting the WiiU pretty much

It just doesn't sell in the UK

>>254344726

Thing goes like this. You come to our store.
We say "Hi" from the counter, if you look like you are looking for something we might ask "can we help you?" If you look like you just want to take a look or that you know what you want, we jsut keep doing our stuff.

You ask for a game, we have it. Right away sir, ask for your member card if you have one, and offer it if you don´t.
Some minor chit chat while the computer finish it´s stuff, and we will ask if you are interested in preordering any upcoming titles.
Yes, no, what is coming soon might be your answer and we will react accordingly.

You get your game, you get your ticket, everything in it´s bag, and good bye sir, see you soon.

You can be proffesional and still try to be nice to the customer, and help them if they need it.

>>254344583
This was fairly recently, the bundle they were selling was the same as the cheapest one I could find online. And then they gave me a 32bg memory card instead of 16gb so it was even better.

Normally I would never even think about buying anything there.

The Gamestation in Dartford was a great store before it disappeared and before GAME bought them long before that. Run by a proper big guy who could look like a neckbeard but he was well alright and knew his stuff.

The store's been sucked of any personality since then. I miss their cabinet of retro games and never forgave GAME after they destroyed all copies in every one of Gamestation's stores they took over.

I dunno if it's just my local CEX but every time i go it seems to be filled with junkies selling off clearly stolen goods like unboxed phones without the charger or anything, for drug money.

So you're not into video games anymore because a video game store would have a comical video game reference?

>the big guy doesn't need fake tits

Sounds like you have a hard time having access to good vidya shops, /v/. I only have two near my home, here in Belgium, but they're the best shops ever for what I need.

One's also doing toys, but the most important thing is it has a huge library on games at abordable prices (I found a new copy of Pokemon Black at 15 €, to give you an idea) plus some e-money cards for any console (they even still have those DSi cards you can't find anywhere) and sometimes not used games from older generations (I've seen once new copies of freaking Pokemon Gold and Silver sold there, at 5 € piece).

The other one is focused on vidya, and its owner, in addition of being a total bro, has so many contacts he can get you nearly everything, including those rare as shit special editions. Plus he always is there if you need advice on games, and you can leave him a list of the games you're looking at, so he puts them aside for you if someone sells them back. Hell, I've even saw him once offer to act as an intermediary for someone buying things on Internet, so he isn't scammed.

>>254347179
That's all you. Game is full of guys whereas CEX usually has emo/scene girls working there. Hell I've picked up a lot of bangs from just CEX alone.

Though there was this qt that worked in Game and I just fell in love with her at first sight. I went it to pick up WatchDogs and ended up spending 30 minutes chatting to her whilst spending an additional £120 on games and PS Plus. Got her number in the end and invited her over for drinks only to hear "Hey, is it cool if I bring my boyfriend?"

Should have dropped everything and left....

You know, GAME have a system where they'll beat trade in price on any store within a mile, or some shit like that. You could have gone back, told them that CEX would give you £78 for the stuff and you'd have gotten more

The legality is innocent until proven guilty, or "buy the game and if security/police come in and say it was stolen then give them the details of the guy who traded it in."

If it's a serial numbered item then CeX check it against a national database of lost and stolen items. Obviously if it flags they don't take it.

Gamestation was always better. That is until Game bought them out and rebranded them all as Game. A friend of mind worked in Gamestation and his store did twice the business the local Game story was doing. Yet they rebranded it to Game and shut the other one down rather than keep the successful store the way it is. Fucking idiots.

Everyone knows Gamestation was better. Sure it was grimy and there was generally more sweat and acne about, but it had SOUL.

GAME were scared of their growing success so bought them out and dragged them down with them.

Now, after the company went into administration, Gamestation perished and the cancer that is GAME somehow remains.

I walked into game about a month ago in my local shopping centre just because it had been closed down for a while and I wanted to see what had changed. No one else in the fucking shop except the staff. It was 2 good looking girls and a guy who were all talking away. As soon as I walked in they al turned to face me a nd gave me one of the dirtiest looks I've ever gotten; as if I'd just grabbed one their tits or something. Continue walking around the shop for about 5 minutes and eventually one of the girls walks over to me and asks me do I need help with anything, say "no I'm fine, thanks". The girl walks away and back to the tills before muttering fuck sake under her breath.

Seriously why the fuck do they employ people who are like that?

I suppose they saved me £2? The staff in the Sunderland store are lazy fucking cunts, they always shut well before they're supposed to and put the shutters down and over the door to stop people going in around 20 minutes before they close. Wankers. Also there's this young lad there that usually serves me, he's quiet as fuck. Makes no eye contact when serving, clearly not great with people. Everytime I've been in he's been doing all the work while the other fucking monkeys laugh and joke around

Don't know about you but I'd rather discuss science, atheism activism and the latest intellectually stimulating video games in a sophisticated environment.

Go be passive aggressive somewhere else.

It's an iconic image.

It's like raising the flag on Iwo Jima or those naked kids running from a napalm attack.

Historic.

A Geordie.

Why don't you go to Independent game shops, /v/?

There's this one I go to that sells new releases the day they get them in stock. It's fucking amazing, got Pokemon Y and the special 3DS XL that came out with it 3 days before launch and recently got Watch_Dogs 3 days before launch too

Watch_Dogs is still shit, though

I completely forgot this ever happened, I think you're one of the few who remembers so no, it's not historic

I also know what you're trying to say but you should look up the definition of historic because that's long forgotten news story and its only like 2 years old

>>254354930
Yes i remember somehow. Have you got a skype m8
