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

    no disrespect, but now I know you are just spouting at the mouth. My 2nd startup is now literally a 600m/year company and one of the primary SAP creators and integration partners of sap for all of finance. The company sold for over half a billion. Our TOP sap engineers and developers made...

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

    im not sure what you make, don’t follow forum personalities closely, but my gut tells me you have no idea how much 500k/year is. I have no idea how people make that and are not golden…. in less than 5 years I could be living off interest/dividends alone at that salary, which is why it has taken...

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

    My first (real post college) job was 80k, as I went up I did notice my life getting much more comfortable and pleasant. I’m now 42 and I can say anything over about 150k doesn’t lure me much unless it is an insane RSU or other ownership deal. I broke whatever barrier that makes my life pleasant...

    I wouldn’t consider myself a full time trader, but I live in PST and eventually got used to waking up early as fuck since I work with a lot of euros. It did suck ass at first but like anything in life I got used to it, and yes it does fucking rock being done around 1500 or so! Feel like I have...

    Anyone doing the observatory faction? I am trying to understand these quest things I “buy”….like kill 2 whatever’s or slay dungeon boss, or lich lich lord in certain timeline. can you specifically do these or do you need to rely on shit luck? Do they go away after or stay forever? anyone have...

    I’m full pet baby! Don’t even have a player attack lol i switched from zoo(one of each) to: 5 wolves, skill slot 1 the heal, something blessing, with any skill that makes pets stronger and AE heals wolves frenzy totem, with buff that makes the heal auto cast, so I never cast it manually thorn...

    Is there a benefit to grouping? Are people joining up for monoliths? More loot or something in a group? I had max character sometime ago and started fresh for the release. I’m around level 50ish doing normal campaign. I’m a zoo bruh and noticed the itemization seems to have changed. Previously...

    Beastmaster zoo mode anything is insane. I tried crows, wolves, and zoo(mix of all animals) and it was brutally powerful and I literally did not even have an attack. I just ran around and dropped totems and all other skills were pets. Never once swung an axe and the dps was just asinine.

    I’m having trouble understanding some stats. I know for example with ”chance to apply xxxxx” if you go over 100% it means you have a chance to apply 2 stacks, like poison. It would mean 2 stacks per hit instead of one. but what about critical chance? I have something like 237% and wondering if...

    Shameless plug for a referral: “HoppyMushmellow” anyway, started playing after work. Huge lag and trouble getting between zones. Tried the rogue dude this time to go archer, what’s up with all the attacks being 0 mana? does That change?

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I was slightly exaggerating when I said I stopped to draw 100 of everything. I just think the draw system is stupid. I don’t want to have to draw for spells and I don’t want to have to replenish them after casting. I also don’t want fights to be more challenging because I leveled….you know, the...

    My fault on wrong thread. I thought this was for all the older ones and not just 1-6 PR. Thought the braverly one was for that game only. Anyway, thanks for advice everything. I still dislike 8, but I’m gonna finish it and keep trucking through them in order!

    T-Rex is sleep, which is how I lasted 15+ min. I just couldn’t do enough dmg, probably because I don’t have stuff junctions correctly. appreciate all the advice, I’ll try to suffer through it using the no encounter thing so I stop leveling. Maybe do the stupid card game a bit since I know the...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I just did that and yes, I drew the siren. Interestingly not even due to a guide, just because I've trained my simpleton brain to draw on everything for new shit. Now I went into some training forest and fought a T-REX for at least 15 minutes(not exaggerating), probably did over 25k damage to...

    Whoa man, I didn't mean to fire off the FF version of WW3 lol I do appreciate the advice and I can handle being told I am doing it wrong. I think the most accurate comment was that I was trying to play the game like FF7 and thus not enjoying it. I am familiar with triple triad(card game) from...

    Ok, still playing through the FF's so I can get up to the latest. Just finished FF7, which I did play back in the day. Overall the experience was the same and I did not bother to perfect play it or anything, just tried to enjoy the game but picking different characters than I did back when I...

    I played the primal it’s zoo mode. Had raptor, bear, scorpion combo and it was pretty fucking awesome. I went heavy poison type debuff on them and it was so sweet. Trash mobs die so quick that talent tree doesn’t matter much and the bosses would get poison raped while I dodged or ran around...

    With these types of games do you play one dude in the party and the rest auto or is it more like a real-time bg3 or so,ething where you need to control everyone? it reminds me of an anime “bioshock” which was a good game, neat combat and ideas, beautiful world, fluid controls, meh story.…but...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    But the point is in this game, and outside of some elite world first crap, as long as you keep up to date on items, the specific stats don’t matter. it may be one of the first rpg style games I’ve played where I do not review my stats page or compare items AT all beyond “ilevel“(general power)...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    i agree with you in sentiment, but ive grown to like it in this game. Maybe it’s because I can switch classes on one character, maybe it’s because this game is more story then stats, but for whatever reason I basically play and don’t give a shit about gear. I just enjoy the content, I’ve...

    I’m not sure what you mean, “manually”. For fidelity there is a settings page where you can control(I believe, it’s been a while) whether you take dividends in cash or reinvestment. I think you can even control it at the individual ticker level if memory serves.
