    Naaa, work is just way too interesting to skip.

    Gotta optimize that 32bit floating point FFT algorithm to run faster on an automotive head-unit ARM processor. Already got a 3x speed increase but i'm looking for 4x ...

    Why do you need to run a 32 bit FFT on a head unit?

    Will I be doing plenty of gaming this week? Yes.

    Will I skip school and work for it? No.

    The way I see it, one day this game will become outdated and shut down. It is then that I will look back and say, "damn i wish i hadn't skipped that work, I need that money to buy stuff in the next videogame."

    @smacx250
    The 32-bit is a restriction of the hardware used by the manufacturer since their head-units have single core 32-bit CPUs. Not much i can do about that.

    The FFT is part of an audio fingerprinting/recognition application and was ported from 64-bit code (not by me) and as it turns out, it was poorly optimized for this environment.

    So here i am, optimizing away ...

    Yes. Haha

    Everyone in my house is sick including me. So we are both off of work for a couple days. I was just lucky to take advantage during my time off.

    I cannot unsee your God-awful grammar now. It is making my brain vomit. How on earth did you manage two masters and not become competent with a spell check?

    No. We're short-staffed as it is, and the last thing we need is someone not coming in to work because of a double XP week for an, admittedly, favorite game.

    Both the chars that I use are v16 already so no grinding needed. I cant level another char in this game, the questing/grinding is boooring. Not to mention all the other stuff thats character based if youre a min maxer (alchemy passive, undaunted passive, alliance skills, fighters and mages guild, etc etc)

    Its too much.

    Hahaha im very good with a spell check when i use a computer but never bother when I'm on a phone.... Which i use 99 percent of the time to respond to posts.

    I am actually certified in Microsoft Office as well. I admit i am a horrible typer on my phone but i always turn off auto correct because sometimes it changes things i dont want it to.. On a computer i can type around 90 wpm with 1-2 mistakes.

    You re-apply it as many times as you want until the event runs out.. So really its unlimited.

    Um, just because you level up doesn't mean you lose out on content, you can be VR16 and still go back to play lower level quests that you missed. Will you gain XP for enemy kills? NO, because you're over-leveled. But you'll still get XP for turning in quests. Besides that, in new DLCs you're battle leveled anyway, but being VR16 means you are better equipped to handle delves, dungeons, world bosses, etc.

    What are you referring to? There was huge lag the first night as everyone took to the streets to get the cake but besides the bmdeath bug and the no stack bug i am not aware of others. I played just fine last night with no load issues.

    Ohhh, that makes more sense! I was wondering why that much resolution would be needed for something like an audio spectrum display - duh! :*
