    The youth with their Ps2 cables. I am TI99/4a old but I am sure there are some mainframe/minicomputer terminal aged folks who saw the light of the Two Trees among us.

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

    Preface: I am not a Coder. At all. The most I ever did in that regard was write batch files as a Windows Server admin 2+ decades ago now, in the before time, but I just wrote my first app in the modern era with a UI using ChatGPT/Claude (My team's Tools guy swears by Base44 but I already have...

    Path of Exile 2

    I have done three builds this League, to at least 90: Plant Oracle, Monkey Boss/Zoo SpiritWalker and now Frozen Spark/CoC comet Stormweaver. I love them all, actually. I have played something different in every league, though. I love my walking simulator monkee build, but its not the most...

    As someone who works at a company that "insourced" 61+% of all IT jobs to Bharat from all over the world:

    The Duskbloods

    This was my ChatGPT Summary. It doesn't really sound like its in my wheelhouse but I love FromSoft's worlds and lore. Catch you next time, space cowboys. Warning, its loooong, with links and sources and all kinds of stuff.

    It's a great way to say most modern games are shit.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    It's amazing, and you can see in this thread how I have gone from skeptic to believer to full-blown converted evangelist. I am spending my Saturday getting Google AI Certs rather than playing POE2; that's how far I have gone. I create process documentation, presentations, work products, tools...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I have "pro" versions of Claude and ChatGPT, and get Grok with my Twitter Premium and Copilot with my M365: What it gets you is expanded functionality, and things that normally cost money/hits limits; those limits aren't there. I use the pay versions extensively and haven't thought about it a...

    Path of Exile 2

    I, too, am excited to see where all these story threads go. There is a large amount of good narratives here. Your post had me right up until the end, though, that is some Sixth Sense level of rug pull. The story in Starfield is never going anywhere, Dr. R. That's the trick.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The first rule of RPG club is we never recommend that game club. When in doubt, play Cyberpunk 2077? IDK.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Not a real fan of Souls-likes, but loved this. So many amazing, unique moments. I knew I was hooked when I found the elevator to Nokron; It will be hard to replicate that experience for me ever again. Go play Tainted Grail instead, and never utter that blasphemy here again.

    Path of Exile 2

    It sucks to need to fill out the tree but then have all of these quests where you get no end game progression at all. The end game is now seemingly the opposite of what it was before: Too much to do/too many tasks to do, rather than endless mapping/atlas nothing. Don't get me wrong, its a huge...
