    What level were you? I'm 77. And I did watch another boss guide that suggested doing him at 80+. Truth be told, I'm following a YouTube "n00b" walk-through and the dude is taking me to Cainhurst and doing this boss (and that player is level 60 at the time). I'm not sure if it's pertinent to...

    I almost had this faggot beat , ~10% HP remaining and of course you get excited, rush a bit and then get obliterated in seconds.

    The camera is fucking kill me in this game.

    Has anyone tried summoning another player for help? I read that's not always..helpful.

    The Queen's Gambit

    She took tranqs and suddenly was able to visualize a chess board and run through all possible combinations. That's bullshit. As "normal" as any other female about that age. She was well groomed, articulate, could look people in the eye. Like I said, someone of that extreme intellect would...

    The Queen's Gambit

    My problem with this show was that, for the most part, she came off as "normal". You know damn well that a person THAT obsessed over something will be on the spectrum somewhere. But, she seemed to interact with others fine for the most part and had a relatively normal personality. Also, how...

    Bloodborne

    Which firearm did you use? Pistol or blunderbuss or something else? Also I read that the Cannon can nearly one-shot bosses. Any effectiveness against this one?

    Martyr Logarius is fucking ridiculous. I'm getting too old for this shit.

    Bloodborne

    But I thought bosses and some mobs would auto-scale to your level to some degree.

    Bloodborne

    Can you "out level" bosses? IIRC, you couldn't really do that in Dark Souls. Or, the effectiveness was reduced.

    Bloodborne

    Yeah, I've been farming them in Hypogean Gaol. They just sometimes get lucky hits in.

    Genshin Impact

    Yeah, I tried to get into this, but the combat feels repeatitive and the world, while pretty, feels empty.

    Bloodborne

    Specifically, I'm speaking of those reaper dudes. I have 40 vitality, so I'm guessing they must easily one-shot players who have far less. Yeah, I know, "git gud" and don't get hit... But, to my other point, I find it super odd that after hitting a mob several times they will end up having...

    Bloodborne

    I bought this when it was first released AND NEVER PLAYED IT. Was still in the shrink wrap until a few days ago. Several hours in now. Do enemies have an uncanny habit of having no visible hit points left? I cannot count the number of times I thought something was dead only to discover it...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    And the CEO had a Commodore PET which is circa late 70s, VERY early 80s. An IBM XT would have been more appropriate.

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    I guess I suck at movies because I thought this was decent. Granted, it was way too long. I liked how the antagonists were sympathetic in their motivations.

    Watch out Nintendo, Sony, MS - here comes the winner of chicken dinner!

    This is so bizarre. What's next? "Console Hut"?

    Did only 2 asteroids hit? Friend is telling me there were many more in the book.

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

    Sure. Hypothetically speaking, if one was on .NET 3.5 and suddenly realized you needed to upgrade to 4.8 then you might be in a world of hurt doing regression analysis on all those interim releases. So in that regard, sure, that makes sense. Personally, I have the mindset of, "If it ain't...

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

    So the lead developer on our team wants to start migrating our classic .NET application to .NET Core. Personally, I think this is insane. Our application is very old -- an ASP.NET WebForms app which began its life in the mid 2000s. Now, the WebForms portion of the application can't be...

    Guild Wars 2

    Gear wise, you can get ascended gear which is as good as you can get stat-wise. And there are websites that tell you precisely what to craft. It's not difficult at all. Time consuming of course then some materials are time-gated. I had to play Guild Wars 2 for a while before the game finally...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Shocked that this runs so poorly on the PS4/XBone. Their hardware isn't that underpowered. Sounds like shitty coding to me.

    Are these government trainings? I work for a global medical devices/pharmaceutical company and while we have a shit ton of ridiculous trainings, there has been nothing along those lines.

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

    I honestly don't know too much about this, but I think a Gateway is useful if you'll have multiple clients talking to your API. I think a proxy is for decoupling the client's API from your backend API. I assume this is a cloud-based app you're developing?

    One of them gives you an ascended backpack, correct?

    Guild Wars 2

    That's what I love about this game. Tons of stuff to do but you never feel like you're "falling behind". Except for maybe the story, of course. Speaking of which, I wonder if I should at least jump to Season 5 and complete what's been released to this point? Although I've completed HoT and...

    Guild Wars 2

    Fresh Air Tempest is what I run with my baby elementalist ('baby' as in, I'm no expert ele player). But I have no hope against core Champions or the tougher HP challenges in HoT. I definitely need to try out that condi weaver build.

    Genshin Impact

    Does the combat in this game feel repetitive or am I missing something? Seems like you basically do some kind of attack with a character, switch to another character, do an attack, ad nauseum until target is dead. It's all very flashy of course, but I feel like I'm doing the same thing over...

    Guild Wars 2

    It is a cool map, I grant you that, and fun to explore if you aren't trying to rush through it like I was. But I can't imagine how ArenaNet devs architecting that thing without losing their minds.

    Guild Wars 2

    I map completed Tangled Depths today. This has got to be one of the most obnoxious maps/zones in the history of video games.

    The Expanse

    Friend is telling me there is a massive time jump after the current story arc. Maybe it was due to that, as they would have had to apply aging effects to the entire cast.

    Guild Wars 2

    I have collected so many Tomes of Knowledge I've been able boost a couple characters up to 80 just from those. I haven't had any trouble just jumping in and learning a new profession at 80. Also keep in mind that Elite Professions don't even open up until 80, so you still have to learn...

    Guild Wars 2

    I feel like I can't make any meaningful progress in this game, which is entirely my fault. I log in, do the dailies, kill Teq, and night is done for me.

    Genshin Impact

    What is this game's "hook"? I'm up to rank 15 and, while the combat is pretty fun, I already feel kind of bored.

    Fear the Walking Dead

    Yeah, I like Fear because it's sorta more like early TWD -- that is, a small group trying to survive and generally likable characters. It's not great but still a lot better than what TWD devolved into.

    Holy shit, she was Janielle in T2.

    Funny, I just rewatched Aliens last night and wondered if this actress was in anything else?
