    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    The man played through the FFXIV msq and bitched about it in that thread the entire time. Adversity has made him persistent.

    Job Hunting

    Looks like a 180 question assessment that gives both capability and personality profile. I don’t have any concerns about testing, was just curious about this particular one.

    Job Hunting

    I’ve been asked to take a caliper assessment by a prospective employer - anyone familiar with these?

    Playstation 5

    I’m glad I have a save in the first game that allows me to go back and brutally murder Roidchick’s dad from time to time… hmm, I need to see what they’ve done with mods on pc and “acquire” the game on it.

    I think /yell is proximity and also gives others your direction, whereas /shout is the zone wide red letter text.

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    Yeah I’ve had one pair of Corsair headphones and they were terrible (RGB70). Just looking on Amazon (all of these wired) I see the JBL Quantum 300 for $50 and Steel Series Artic 5 for $70. I’ve not used these specific headsets but have had good luck with the brands.

    I just assume when someone says “I need to take this call” and turns off the camera it means the same thing.

    The Beer Thread

    I’ll usually get the Sierra Nevada/New Belgium variety packs if they’re available, local grocery will run a sale that gets a 12 pack under $14 and I’ll stock up. Then I’ll occasionally buy a couple of 4-pack pints of something local to have.

    Yeah, don’t really agree with review bombing. I like this gem of a review for “Last of Us 2”:

    Desktop Computers

    First computer was a VIC-20 with a cassette drive, hooked up to a black and white tv. Upgraded a couple years later to the C64 with a 1541 disk drive. Keyed in so many programs from Compute! Magazine I learned BASIC through immersion.

    The Astronomy Thread

    At 52, rides don’t phase me at all. But damned if standing on something and looking up to change a lightbulb or anything like that doesn’t fuck me up.

    Hate that any additions to the series will be missing Lance Reddick as Sylens.

    4090 seems to be more readily available, I’ve been able to get to check out with the $1,599 MSI on Best Buy a few times - just don’t need it right now.

    No doubt, I used their Samsung Magician utility to update mine.

    Yeah, there’s a firmware update that fixes it.

    What Lanx said - I’m running two in my PC with no heat sinks and temps have always looked good. Bought a heat sink for the one in my PS5 though.

    What’s amusing is doing this with the fence in the sewers and selling shit you stole from him back to him only to steal it and sell it again.

    Jaheira gets somewhat less annoying shortly, and she does get the best rez (Harpers Call) and also solid summons relatively early in the game.

    The Beer Thread

    I grabbed the double IPA version of this (12%) and damn… hop profile was good but the alcohol still overwhelmed the flavor. I also picked up their Raging Bitch (8.3%) - I think someone else had posted it - it was really good.

    And the Steam spring sale dropped - grabbed Half Life:Alyx, think I’m set for a bit.

    Quest 2 came in yesterday, redeemed RE4 code (and the Golf and Space Pirate game that’s currently free with promo) and played through first couple of areas in RE4. Motion did affect me a little bit, was using joystick move rather than “teleport “, but was okay - great translation to VR though...

    A mage should be able to right click on a mage scroll in inventory and choose scribe to add it to their spell book.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I’m playing through again on a “battlemage” in BG2 - beserker dual classed to mage at level 9, it’s one of the more powerful builds in the game, just have to find proper gear to make up for the fact you can’t wear armor but that’s not an issue once you’ve cleared a few areas/quest. There is a...

    The Quest 2 Resident Evil 4 bundle somehow came back in stock at Best Buy this morning… guessing they had some inventory sitting somewhere, but at $50 off with two games I grabbed it and ordered this cable to go with it - gracias!

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

    Yeah, pretty much what I deal with regularly. I’ve called out many imposters for spending more time trying to place blame elsewhere than they do solving the problems caused by their own incompetence. My boss will occasionally suggest pulling me in to a Teams meeting last minute when someone...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I’d compare it more to Ghost of Tsushima or GOW in terms of being able to play how you want and to some degree choose a build/gear based on your play style. I didn’t use the counter/Protego spell much after the early part of the game, preferring dodge roll more, so I did not take the talents...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Finished up the main quest last night at level 31 with about 40 hours played and around 70% completion I think - definitely will go around and finish up most of the remaining side quests, discoveries, etc. I had no crashes while playing but did get the occasional odd graphical glitch. Great...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    It is odd when you think about how a wave of your wand gets the hedges trimmed, you see animated hammers pounding anvils, picks mining away, brooms sweeping (don’t remember animated dust pans but I don’t pay that much attention). As well as the aforementioned vanish spell that comes in handy...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I hovered over the map locations for various spots to see if they had a demiguise then just used revelio to find them, or as Talenvor said if I saw one during the day just did map + advance to night to grab it.

    Yeah I had just bought the WD 850x 2TB for my desktop, grabbed the 980 Pro 2 TB and a separate heat sink for my PS5.

    Desktop Computers

    Not sure what the low price point on these are - but the Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB and the WD 850x 2 TB are $159 at Best Buy - seems pretty low for what I’ve seen lately. And the 980 with heat sink is $179.

    What are you playing?

    I’ve had a blast playing Hogwarts, 25 hours in at level 21 and haven’t been bored, just exploring areas and mechanics. I loved the original Dead Space, but will probably wait for a Steam sale on the remake.
