    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hmmmmm, instead of simplifying the game by removing unnecessary complexity, let us integrate third-party addons directly into the game to help manage it. How can you be this retarded?

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Small pan of water is objectively superior to firebrick/kiln brick unless it is very cold outside. Then use kiln brick and an insulating coat on the smoker.

    Realistically you do indeed want security focused engineers in the process. @TomServo having CICD with security gates is appealing to me. As this is the least disruptive way to do it. The problem I see here is that you need non-retards to do that part. The afterthought pen test retards can't do...

    In today's episode of Rapid Pajeetification my wife's direct manager (director level) decided to pull all production access from the team. Her team is the "core team" of FTE for the company that have developed the internal system this part of the org manages. In house software that runs their...

    That's our Cloud Operations people. Normally I could spin up just about anything in Azure I felt like trying out and remove it later. They locked all of that down last year so I have to go beg them to let me have an Azure Function App to mess with or any other feature on the platform. Its so...

    Ours is an actual one. Its especially retarded because we have an actual database reliability team. They work on shifts are are available 24/7. But that is their explicit function. They do not have a development workload on top of that. We even have to deal with that gay jira alert app. I am a...

    I've never truly kept track its probably around 50-60 average. When I am oncall its like 80. I've told leadership this already but their oncall alerts are complete trash. Most of them are more realistically warnings but they still demand you "validate" the warning and prove its not a bigger...

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

    Putting in my two weeks at the second gig this week. It's an interesting job but I really hate the work life balance. It has this odd mixture of people who are either young and unattached or older and have grown kids/empty nest syndrome. This causes leadership to expect a true grind out of...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    This game does a really good job at making the characters play completely differently. Most JRPG suffer from menu based combat just being lame and repetitive. Dodging, parrying, and interesting combat interactions and synergies with the various characters just really freshen it up. @Qhue What...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    JRPG plots were always batshit insane or incomprehensible. Even everyone's favorite FF3 is weird as shit but we can at least understand "yeah we gotta save the kingdom from evil."

    Marathon (Bungie)

    The aesthetic of this game looks like a clown puked. Then you put that in a blender and sprayed it all over the character models. Who thinks this looks good? It's just straight weird looking and totally unappealing.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    It's incredible. Excellent and ultra chill game. You have the school part but otherwise its fucked up Pokemon battling. Sorta.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    The last JRPG you played was from 2008? Seriously play Persona 5 (you don't need to play anything before it).

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Just started on this. This impressively done. The story is kinda weird but at least it's interesting and the characters are good. Combat is compelling and the soundtrack is great.
