Sentenced is really grimdark fantasy. The penal heroes aside being sentenced to Dark Souls life where they never get the release of death until they totally lose their humanity like Tatsu is just one aspect of how grim it is. Humanity is being totally consumed by the Zerg like demons that...

Yeah, this is the absolute truth of Software Engineering. If you are any flavor of Software Engineer other than like art assets/model maker for games specifically then the you can work in just about every industry for more money and less stress. So the best developers all do that.

I can get with that. Makes me want to check it out a lot more. How is Shadow Knight?

Fighter is that fun? EQ Warrior was boring as most EQ melee classes were. I am considering Shadow Knight, Wizard, Bard. Please elaborate on fighter.

I don't see it like that. When you seek out a "coast" role you can sometimes just call it a "rest and vest" at least for tech positions. At some point you want to focus on your personal life and things that are not work related at all. If you've been crushing it in high growth companies for 10+...

Oh I was shitting on M Power not you.

Because your comments have a distinct singular focus and smell like faggotry. Which is all Folder ever provided this thread. @Quevy Its more or less being at an inflection point. The biggest mistake of my career was listening to my father and staying at General Motors longer than 3 years. I...

Also @M Power wtf is up with your complete paranoia about layoffs. Your posts are about nothing but job security and layoff bullshit. Are you Folder?

Dude, they went through 4 layoff rounds when I worked there and I missed EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE OF THEM. Those layoff packages were dope as fuck and I really wanted to get one.

This is kind of the thing. I have been the primary originator of all the work I have done here the past like 5 years. I think them up, plan them out, and just do them as I have de facto ownership and nobody contests me on it. Which is cool. The friction I have here now is that I can solve any...

The new place is logistics based and their growth has been due to effectiveness and increasing reputation so I don't see it going away or anything. Some Greenfield dev sounds a bit nice overall. It has been a little tiring to be in the exact same codebases for 7 years ya know?

I did the counteroffer thing at company A 5 years ago and I will try it again as the leadership involved in that has all moved on.

Okay boys. I got another job offer for a job I think I want. The offer is for a staff role in their data platform org. Its a rapidly growing company at $2B ARR. They are more mature in data organization but a bit behind on the tooling I prefer. This is because I had total control of data infra...

Sorry to hear brother. It's never easy. When my dad went I was grateful that he had just come off a fishing run (he was a commercial tuna fisherman up until the day he died) at age 70. Felt a little bad the next day. Then died a few days later. Looking back I don't know how I dealt with it. My...

This old man waits patiently for actual release.

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/139212/the-hundred-reigns-timeloop-litrpg This one is excellent. Void Herald has a number of very solid fictions. Vanquer the dragon being his most well known. I have not read Gunsoul but I will eventually. Thoroughly loving this one.

San Andreas was my favorite GTA. Just the right mix of campy, arcady gameplay and fun. The moment I knew I loved it was that mission where you hijack a jet mid flight from a Cessna. Then fly to Liberty City to ace some guidos and return. It was so absurd it stunned me. I loved it.

This game does look cool. It just looks like its trying to do way, way, way too much.

Also all of the "realism" shit in 4 was a mega turn off. There was so much sims type bullshit in that game. Oh go to the internet cafe so you can log into facebook and go on dates. Go bowling with your cousins despite Nico being a grimdark PTSD type character. Like what? I love minigames as...

I stopped playing 4 when I realized the Taxis were instant teleports to your desired location.

Champignon Witch is weirdly wholesome and enjoyable.

100%.

These were incredible. They have that perfect Supreme Pizza taste and even smell of green peppers and mushrooms. Something I always associate with Supreme style.

A 12 hour "take home code exam" is pretty insulting. I've never encountered something this wild. At most I've had to do a multi problem leetcode. Even in person whiteboarding exams were way shorter. I never actually applied to this role that I remember. Unless I just clicked an easy apply...

It was not an Indian. Confirmed one of their recruiters, a 20 something white girl. Like most of them seem to be. She contacted me on Linkedin first.

Dude look at this shit lol. Their zip file had 5 datasets in it. Ranging from 20k-300k records or so. As I do all of the above in my day job: 1. This is obviously highly specific to the data in question. Is it billing related? Is it an event/real time kind of thing? Yes you can make an...

I was contacted by a recruiter for a company called Pushnami for a Senior DE position. I said sure I am interested, bitch sends me a code test via email. Its a zip file. This is easily like 12+ hours of work (with AI helping you) what the fuck? Its 5 parts, each part has 3-5 sections of 7-10...

I am just waiting for 5 years from now. When as opposed to just paying Microsoft a fee to use Excel and the Office Suite, you have to pay Microsoft for Excel and Claude Excel Code because all of your excel type analysts will have become dependent on it. AI in Excel is an extremely clear cut...

Well so far the best idea we have and are paying people to assist in developing is an Agentforce Quote assistant that is so far much worse than the previous Quote assistant which was just a generic chatbot that asked you various questions about the customer, what they wanted, and parameters...

We are balls deep in implementing Agentforce thanks to our C-Suite of former Salesforce executives. Agentforce is completely half-baked. Even in the context of AI tools. It's really bad and 3/4 of the integration features it has legitimately don't work. We hired Salesforce Pro Services to...

Having cut my tendon before. A straight cut on the inside of your finger doesn't really bleed very much. The blood in your hands runs along the sides, so if you cut like between your fingers it will bleed profusely. But a deep tendon cut bled barely a drop. My hand swelled like a motherfucker...

I'll add that even in Classic WOW one of my very favorite dungeons was Sunken Temple. But if you were Horde it was in the ass end of nowhere and nobody was really willing to go out there unless they absolutely had to. The items were just a bit behind LBRS and Scholo so that didn't help either...

Having loot tables spread across levels of [named] mobs is an interesting idea. But you then make the loot tables ginormous and remove the cool factor of where X item is from. At that point it might just be better to have stuff drop crafting mats and rely on player agency to make items. Lore...

Did you even play during Kunark? I would bet both my balls the vast majority of players, all who made it to max level, didn't set foot in 2/3 of the Kunark dungeons. They went to Seb or Karnor's and only those two. You had to go with guildies to far off spots. Even Chardok was low traffic.

Look, I loved Sebilis and Guk as much as anyone. There is a special place in my heart for truly massive amazing dungeons like that. Black Rock Depths is another I love a lot. Am I going to go into Neo-Guk and sit on a waitlist so I can sit in a camp and grind mobs? I am absolutely not doing...

Sorry, I can't hear you over the year 1 and year 2 tax revenue windfall. - Some Dutch bureaucrat faggot

If you use Github or anything other than a repo hosted on your own metal what prevents Microsoft from just cloning the backend and stealing your code? Oh right, nothing. Extraordinarily hard to prove that too.

Copilot is by far the worst of them. We have been using both Copilot and Cursor for a year or so. The entire engineering org favors Cursor by over 60%. Myself included. I hear Claude Code is "better" but its terminal centric design is objectively worse than Cursor's IDE based design. At least...

Honestly the same reason I didn't vibe with Binding of Isaac. Despite liking everything else about it.

It's on hianime. That's where I watched the first episode.
