I had something to talk about and I couldn't find where to put it. There were unrelated but kinda similar comments in politics about taking care of elderly parents. My father died in 2021. He came down with pneumonia after spending 1.5 months at sea fishing for tuna on his boat. At age 70. The...

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/72301/1-lifesteal Been enjoying this one a lot. Slowburn and not really a LitRPG just in the spirit of one if that makes sense. Essentially in a world with powers called vestiges you save up for a mortgage to get one. As being without sucks dick and you're a...

Yuh I'll spam this here too its so good.

Actually a really really good Live show from 1977. Emmylou Harris has always had a stunning crystalline voice. She was damn fine back then too.

I think I'd play lock if I did hardcore.

Learning any of the major cloud platforms is a good start. Infrastructure is all about managing configuration files these days rather than "hard" setting of servers and such where you have to go into some box and set it up. But really can't go wrong with learning AWS or Azure. I'd avoid GCP...

I last tried to find a job a little over a year ago in part of my yearly "do a few interviews to keep practice" efforts. Never had to try very hard to get an interview or job offers. I have 12 years of experience.

Can you or do you want to code? How do you feel about infrastructure engineering? Sometimes called Site Reliability (although I dislike that name for it IMO).

I can pretty much do anything related to backend development and data. It's kept me really firm in my position.

Not really. WoW and Halo for example were made by technical teams of under 40 people. The industry is just very very bloated as the market size of vidya rapidly grows.

This game's menus need a lot of work. Gameplay is generally good and shooting is fun enough. But the gameworld drags on as lots of it simply isn't interesting. Very few points of interest have any real payoff or even breadcrumb. Since they went the route of loot generation with minimal, if any...

Are you sure no drugs were involved in this post?

They're building these near where I live. 3d printer homes that cost even more than wood ones. Side benefit of also being really ugly! Most of them look like this rn. $450k+ for a 3/2 <1800 SQFT. https://www.lennar.com/new-homes/texas/austin-central-texas/georgetown/wolf-ranch/genesis-collection

Is it normal in your industry to move as much as you do?

This is good shit @Leon may appreciate it more. Dude spent at least several hundred $ USD to stream snipe this dude and got wrekt. Technically lol.

This seems like a nobrainer. My only experience with similar things is Texas A&M where houses near the stadium are equally as profitable. Make them pay an absolute premium for the place and keep it barebones so drunk antics don't set you back too bad.

A 90 minute or 2 hour commute both ways is truly AIDS of the highest order and a cancer upon life in our society. I biked to work in Tech Ridge area of Austin for like 6 years. I eventually had to commute downtown, it was okay only because I was able to take the train and just read most of the way.

While I completely agree the starter homes today are not in the relative price range they are when I bought my starter home. If I were to do the exact same thing I did in 2005 in 2015 it would have cost me significantly more of the income I was earning than it did. When I was 18 I joined the...

Inadvisably really loves to use the full English lexicon. Dude has a penchant for using the most esoteric and strange words in all of his fictions. I think this does him no favors when writing about something as strange as Lovecraftian fantasy where everything is hard to describe already. I am...

People are retarded. People are exceptionally retarded when it comes to inheritance. Like unbelievably moreso than normally.

Got a RSU stonk disbursement last month. 22% tax on that bullshit.

Sounds like this will totally be worth a playthrough when the DLC drops. I also haven't touched it since launch.

I definitely don't envy the younger generation right now. They have a steep uphill to climb. While the Millenials didn't have it as good as their Boomer parents, they had it a lot better than Gen Z is going to.

I wonder if a mod is even capable of doing that. Similar mods in terms of architecture like New Vegas where it was all one seemless environment only existed because the game had it architected in. Just spliced it up because of console limitations of the time. In Starfields case its like they...

Similar to the lol fun levels of "base building" in Fallout 4.

Another thing I dislike. In previous titles whenever you steal something the item in question has a red highlight. In this game its just a tiny little icon on the tooltip and much less obvious. I mean, yes BGS is known for trash UIs but they impressively made an objectively worse UI than they...

Also stealth and pickpocketing (along with many others) as features behind locked behind an initial skill point drop is stupid. Who thought of that shit?

A more elaborate space flying system will be modded in. It has decent enough physics for it.

Now I want to revisit skyrim after 12 years. I don't remember this really.

Is this a sign that they have some self-awareness about their strong suit? Fallout 3 storyline was garbage. Skyrim storyline was yawn.

Its interesting to me that they added various layers of complexity to this game in terms of research and crafting. As since Skyrim all of that has been streamlined for ease of use. The hardcore survival mod that makes surviving in space more interesting, complex, and difficult is going to be...

Nexusmods the usual place for this?
