Warlock doesn't feel floaty to me. Unless you are speaking specifically about collision detection which is just abysmal all around. The "running in place" stuff when surrounded by monsters

What class/build are you playing? This has a lot to do with that. A lot of what you are referring to has been addressed for a lot of the skills but there are still some big offenders.

I kinda wish she leaned into it harder and the quote read "and he did a heluva job"

You're not supposed to look at the numbers, just the colors. Noob.

I wouldn't be surprised if they released an actual WH briefing putting the China tariffs at 42069%

I've been at this company since 2007. I look at some of the code I wrote back then and I turn into Gordon Ramsay.

Jookathon?

Are you using an Intel processor? I had the same type of problem last year and the issue ended up being the Intel CPU.

It is an unfun pile of shit. It's also new and attracted a lot of new players that are still working their way through the campaign which is probably the correct explanation of retention numbers. Both things can be true. And Jonathan can be a disingenuous, arrogant prick about it all he wants...

Yea it's a pub-sub message broker/messaging engine. BizTalk is the same concept though it's old, outdated, and deals in XML payloads which are large and cumbersome.

I should just dig into Kafka. This is the kind of thing that I used to do all the time throughout my professional career, just take a few weekends and learn new shit. I just cannot find the motivation to do it anymore.

*Relic

I have a hard time motivating myself to stay current these days as well because it just doesn't seem like knowledge and effort mean much anymore. My company has this ridiculous "recognition" program where you can recognize coworkers and it gives them "points" and they get listed in a weekly...

Guessing this is one of the new uniques from Uber Abberoth because it's... uh... pretty OP

Are you guys 15 year old girls? Hero X is typical, terrible Chinese garbage. Jesus Christ...

Courting buyers? They are already owned by Tencent.

If you haven't bought/played yet this game is worth doing a playthrough (or a few) before release. You can go straight through the campaign. You can skip certain acts with dungeon keys. You can even go immediately into end game monoliths as soon as you are strong enough (typically level 30) if...

I would say that every truly intelligent person has at least some imposter syndrome. And it probably reaches its height around middle age, especially in high skill professions that change often (like tech), where companies/managers decide that if they are gonna pay someone to "learn on the job"...

Weaver tree has been added in the build planner on last epoch tools, set affix shards and other patch stuff also added, including updated skill and passive trees https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

Warlock absolutely did get nerfed. The spirit plague ward generation got massively nerfed, which was a big portion of their (very op) survivability. Though that's an acolyte nerf in general.

It sounds insane because it is insane while also not really serving any meaningful purpose. I would probably just have it save the generated sql/code to a secure drive somewhere and then just have a human commit it to the repo if he's that hell bent on it being in source.

Warlock will be the most noob friendly, high tier end game class most likely. Their ward generation got absolutely gutted in this patch but it will still be a very, very strong starter (and end game, it scales insanely well also). Chthonic Fissure is just kind of an OP skill with maybe the best...

I don't think anyone is expecting, or wanting, any one game to "take the crown". The large majority of any playerbase within either game is likely hoping they both end up being great games on somewhat alternating patch cycles.

Yes they do. LE was a massive success at launch, EHG has just dropped the ball pretty badly since. This new season and the content within it does look very promising though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Epoch#:~:text=As%20of%20March%2022%2C%202024,peak%20concurrent%20users%20on%20Steam.

Its not a bad show, but it's not great either. It's kind of hollow and formulaic. It's got a lot of gore though if that's your thing

This is the only outcome. An AI "renaissance" followed by an epic level of crash and burn.

The weaver tree looks very powerful... and abusable. The trade economy is going to be laughably fucked but should make for some fun experimentation.

The new CIO (an Indian from India) apparently announced to the management team that he will be flying to India next week to conduct interviews. I expected them to replace middle management and development teams first but if he's personally conducting interviews in India that smells a whole lot...

They won't be clunky in maps, especially juiced maps but they will be clunky for map bosses and the like. I think they'll be clear skills and be treated exactly like similar cd builds like Frostblink ignite, etc. I could see some sort of silly reverse knockback cyclone build with big defensive...

The retal skills have some pretty silly scaling numbers.

You don't need to self inflinct, in fact you don't want to unless you're bleed immune. Just need to put any elemental ailment on the enemy.

I REALLY hope someone puts those in a Bleed pob but doesn't make it clear you still need to inflict an elemental ailment so people get confused and brick the build

Forbidden Flame and Flesh combos are pretty juicy for Slayers overall. But Gladiators can steal the endurance = frenzy passive from slayer as well which is also juicy

That doesn't seem like *that* big a deal to me. Poison builds have ramp times and are still very good and very popular. Slayers can get endurance charges as a defensive layer basically for free and can also get brutal charges or affliction charges with a Maven belt at high value.

My company doesn't auto push updates for anything except for, apparently, crowdstrike because it went out to every single machine in our company on Friday including all of our personal laptops lol. I couldn't even get anyone from the help desk on the line to get me my bitlocker key so I could...

Apple is just so far up their own ass they basically refuse to advertise their content outside of their stupid little eco system. Overall they probably have the best original content but they just don't support it by marketing it well.

Well, if we're being completely and totally honest the large majority of Americans have to get 30 year notes because they are trying to buy more house than they can really afford in the first place. Functionally, if you are trying to make a decision between a 30 year and 15 year you should take...

Where else would it go? Are you familiar with the word "scruples" and the lack thereof bankers in America have had, historically?

There's no real need to do the math. 99.9% of people will never actually invest the difference and it's not actuarial science figuring out the difference in risk and cost between a 30 yr at 7% and a 15 year at 6%. Americans especially are so hilariously full of shit when they talk about...
