    I will agree that Blizzard wants to sell MTX. See above about some singular WoW MTX making more than the entirety of SC2:WoL. They've been on the MTX train pre D3 I think. I disagree that they are competing for GGG's market share. In this forum alone, what percentage of people are actively...

    Path of Exile

    The memory game throws people for a loop, especially the third phase that introduces coil beams. I think the memory game is poorly designed and counterintuitive to what a player comes to expect doing other boss fights that lead up to that one. Don't waste your time getting splinters via 10-way...

    My point is that I'm not clicking on a link to "goody2.ai", ever. Nor "brain.wtf", for that matter. The original post reads like a textbook phishing email. I'm glad the links are safe. I did not intend for you to take that risk.

    That's not @Brahma, he had to give up gaming so his kids could run the AC during winter.

    I think more to my point is that I've never had these considerations while playing PoE. I certainly like a good story in a game, it's just so rare to see it properly executed. Such that I don't consider it a negative when a game basically doesn't include a story because I'd much rather that...

    The domain itself looks suspicious, let alone directly linking a .mp4 file. I have NoScript and Ublock Origins running in addition to Windows Defender. The best piece of security is using your brain.

    Is there a safer url for whatever you're trying to share? That looks quite suspicious.

    Rare is the game that seamlessly interleaves narrative and gameplay. I've yet to understand why GGG expends resources explaining why the player is a murder hobo. I also suspect it's why the lead writer left a few years back.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    12 million units sold in the first few months, the fastest selling game in Blizzard history. What is competition from the likes of PoE and LE going to do to that?

    Hey, remember that time when Maya freezes a bunch of bandits and then Lilith combo gibs them? Then they fist bump while thousands of pieces of gore and limbs and viscera rain down around them. I hope they recreate that scene. Gotta stay true to the source material. Eli Roth is still...

    This has been my experience too(making shit up). My fellow employees will use it to look up answers to development questions and we frequently find it will fabricate commandline options to utilities or parameters to API calls.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    If expectations are clearly communicated, I don't think what you want is unachievable. If someone is in a meeting, I have no expectation that they will respond. I'll leave them a message hope they get back to me before end of day. If your colleagues are expecting you to respond despite you...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    If someone has a status that effectively boils down to "I'm not going to respond right now", then I think the expectation is that it's ok to leave a message, don't expect a response. Is the problem that you can't read their message and respond later because it shows you've read it? You can opt...

    What does it taste like? You could combine it with blue cheese dressing as a dip for chicken wings(just missed the super bowl!). The vinegar component in a vinaigrette for a chicken chef's salad. Use it to spike your mother-in-law's coffee.

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

    Not being at a meeting is a very easy thing for others to notice. When whomever is running the meeting has to stop what they're doing and check attendance because that person isn't answering questions, everyone will notice. It's worse than the person who was obviously not paying attention and...

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

    Ok, that's a bit different. I do wish there was a way to properly account for recurring bullshit like meetings when planning iterations. I've done a pretty good job of being vocal during standup when I need to spend hours prepping for a meeting or putting out some fire. I don't even have to...

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

    If you want that promotion, hours of meetings per day will likely be the expectation. I try to plan around the meetings, do trivial stuff like email during meetings where I don't have to pay attention much. Or I get stuff done around the house during the workday and then work on stuff that...

    VSCode snuck an updated glibc requirement to the Remote SSH extension in the 1.86 version. As developers themselves, they should know that the people using VSCode, especially with Remote SSH, do not have the ability to update shared development machines. The update should at least warn you. A...

    I guess I've gotten used to electric over the past ten years. I load up a griddle pan with 8 slices of french toast. If I flipped them "normally", there would definitely be uneven cooking. So I have to babysit them a bit more, flipping on 2 axes instead of one and moving pieces around as they...

    Sure they do. I have an electric stovetop and it heats a griddle pan similar to a regular pan. You perhaps to be a bit more cautious wrt placement, handling, and hotspots, but it does work. Perhaps we're talking past each other. I think griddle pan, I just think of the long rectangular pans...

    The only thing I've found that plugs into an outlet that can put a satisfactory crust on meat is an air fryer. Foreman grill, panini press, electric griddle, whatever, all seem to overcook the meat by the time a good crust forms. Is a stovetop griddle pan not an option? You just have a stove...

    This is just Ossoi being annoying since his dog fucking and movie thread shticks were foiled. Technically defensible since these people are celebrities to someone, ostensibly.

    They nerfed/redesigned brands after delirium league. Apparently they didn't like them getting larger than screenwide attachment range. It was pretty hilarious, the game didn't even know how to draw them anymore at that point. You'd just have brands blink on and off your screen and shit dying...

    Someone force fed me a mageblood(and a bunch of other shit) so I decided to transition my worb slayer to a penance brand slayer. What a difference it makes when you have boss-trivializing dps AND you can go hide in a corner whilst doing said dps. I'm with Arbitrary, I think I'm just going to...

    25D is a bit much for me to test a brand new build. I did roll up a budget version last night. The potential for single target dps is definitely there. And KBoF seems more forgiving than SS on how close you have to hug the boss. I did have a couple issues that make me hesitate to continue...
