  • Yeah, I finished the game wishing it would be a higher recommendation, but it just falls short on a lot of things. I don’t mind the price I paid for it, but it’s a hard sell even at $29.99 (summer sale price).

    The top things to me were setting, animation (feels like clay/stop motion in a cool way), and setting. But the fighting is only okay (never really evolves beyond button smashing and dodging), the story doesn’t really build on itself, and the platforming is generic and linear.

    It also doesn’t help this is an Xbox studios game, since it seems like a bit more time/money would have gone far for this game.




  • So I ended up reading up on the original comics because I knew they were a bit darker than the cartoons. It seems shredder is only in volume 1 of 4. In it he’s basically a New York Yakuza boss that kills splinters master. So splinter trains the turtles to kill shredder. After that he does get resurrected once, but after that he stays dead.

    Volume 2 cover a full on battle with DARPA (for experimenting on aliens and turtles), Volume 3 has a possible daughter of shredder trying to get revenge, but volume 4 retcons volume 3 and focuses on a future where aliens come to earth and the turtles can roam the streets as “aliens” (which isn’t that weird for the series as aliens first appear in volume 1).

    So, yeah, it gets kinda weird.




  • Looks like there is a config and cache location in their docker scripts. The easiest way to make a docker application portable is to bind mount the config and cache. That way you have access to the actual files and could copy them to your windows partition.

    If you’re already using a volume for that data, I think it becomes a bit trickier. I know technically you can move or copy volumes, but I’ve never tried. Although you could still bind mount a random directory and still copy the files out.

    Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

    This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

    The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.






  • Just want to expand on this as it’s the most direct explanation.

    With two die there are 6 ways to you can roll a seven (each side has one way to add up to seven), and 36 total combinations (6 sides * 6 sides). So the odds are 6 times out of 36 or 6/36.

    With one weighted die, you have a set value (say 3 for example). There is only one side on the other die that will equal 7 (4 in our example). So you have 1 out of 6 possibilities, or 1/6 chance.

    However, this is only true for 7. If you were targeting 2 for example, the odds can change substantially. Normally you have one way to get 2 (1 and 1) so you’d have 1 out of 36 possible rolls or 1/36. If the weighted die was weighted to 6 though, you’d never be able to get 2, so your odds would be 0.
