    Biometrics not an option? I would say CAT cards, but even govt slugs managed to lose those fucking things even though DHS charged you 200 bucks a replacement.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    No matter what a startup ever promises, they never make good on it. And worse if it does manage to somehow get legs, they will screw you out of any payout you would be getting anyhow. If you were still unmarried and without kids and hated your current gig, sure roll the dice. But in your...

    Start planning your exit. Not only are they replacing competent people with Poos, but they are also putting them in a customer facing role. That will kill your company relationship with your partners. Poos are terrible at everything, but they are exceptionally bad at customer service.

    This. Once they buy off all the local pols, they will essentially be at the front of the line for water and power. Expect both of those bills to triple within a years time. They won't do anything for the local economy, since what few physical humans they have that work there will be mostly...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah they seriously need to scale back the amount of fucking XP you get in this game in relation to JP. I have played the older versions many, many times and I don't remember it being this bad. With nearly zero dedicated grinds (I just never ran from random encounters and only prolonged them...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Monk Ramza, as mentioned, is probably the fastest path to being OP. Once you get him dual wield and are done Brave boosting, there is literally no reason to be anything else, although you could easily work him up as a part time Math magic guy too for utility. Dual Weild with sword Razma cannot...

    Retard Dumping Ground

    I predicted this exact outcome when you first came back from your last hiatus. See you in the real conversation in a couple of months while you download some new talking points. Pro tip you should probably review all the conversations that happened here between now and then.Before jumping in...

    Retard Dumping Ground

    I will give you credit Foraskin, you lasted a lot longer before getting Rickshawed than I thought and sucking Neocon Dick over Ukraine was not my bingo card of what you would get nuked for. But eventually we all get to the end of our journey. Welcome home, little buddy.

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Brawling damage is based on the character's bravery which can be soft capped up for anyone up to 97 as early as chapter two. The main issue with Ninjas is that their defense is dogshit and their hit points even worse. A character who levels up primarily as a Monk will have a lot of HP and do...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Teleporting is a reliable five move maneuver if you soft cap bravery on a character. The issue is that fly at the monk base move of four (or ignore height) is vastly cheaper and not prone to failure. Upping the cost to 3k was just silly. Plus you end up stuck in Time Mage for a bunch of level...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah I get that. I have gone in for the ability that divides the damage in half, because so much of the late game shit one shots anyone who is not a fully decked out plate user. But normally I avoid it entirely, because grinding mages up is boring as hell and you are going to do that if you...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah the Ninja class design has always been terrible in this game, from the sense that you basically only ever want to get dual wield because while leveling in it pumps attack and speed, your defenses and hit points really take a dump if you spend any amount of time in the class. Calculators...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    The issue that sets him back is that there is a short window of having his shot abilities where they are better than alternatives and guns are basically dogshit in this version. If your healing strat is centered around Chemist, then you can get more mileage out of him, but realistically nailing...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah she is on a whole other level than even Orlandu and its not very hard to get there. Gtind up Dual wield and make her a Monk and you are basically done. Only Monk Ramza was doing more damage than her when I got to the end and she had the most HP in the party as a nearly naked Monk. She...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    I think thats a fair take, but I would point out that basically that if you can kill something that its better than disabling it. Agrias dropping Holy Blade arts, especialyl later in the game, pretty much obliterates most enemies whether you grinded her up in other classes or not. In fact, you...
