    There definitely seems to be a wide variety of spells so I will be trying them out.

    Because he expects to be doing the report jocky management and not the other part. Why is this unclear?

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

    This was my manager at GM to a T. His usual tactic was to talk about whatever then when he recognized that you didn't actually know about the topic he'd turn on the bullshit engine. It was eventually amusing when I realized how often he did this. But it made me rage because he was also extremely...

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

    This manager needs to be the guy who is forcing the other teams into consolidated, uniform processes and data practices that his team is designing. Not the guy managing a bunch of report jockies just doing slightly more formal adhoc requests. The latter being what he expects to do for some reason.

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

    We almost hired a boomer manager this week. Nice enough guy but his ideas on how to do things (in terms of technology and what is possible) are just so... 20+ years ago and would be a total detriment to our goals.

    I think the 5 or so times I tried to get a coop out of curiosity in any DS game they all died almost immediately.

    Went to Chicago this week and was surprised that we stumbled upon Andy's polish market. They sell this particular smoked cheese that is pretty common in it East Europe but I have never seen the real stuff in any European market in the USA before. It's called Oscypek and this places sells the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I measure BOTWness with the level of truly non-linear elements to the game. Other "open world" games are still linear adventures you just have to do specific things in order to get to the end of the game. In the meantime you can wander around map markers and be free to do busy work in the MMO...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think Botw is being used in these games where you have the insane mobility like the kite or the horse and the many many ways to interact with the game world. It's going to be like Botw in that way and most likely let you go right to the end of the game from the start of youre skilled enough...

    I am in a situation now where next week I am going to be the one interviewing my own new manager. I'm even involved in the hiring decision. lol.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    As has been said earlier this will be the most accessible Souls game. It is more like Breath of the Wild with Souls mechanics that it is the more claustrophobic style of the previous titles. Even Bloodborne. Sekiro would probably be the closest to this game in terms of mobility.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yeah I don't mind watching videos to see gameplay snippets. Like seeing what the magic or weapons might be out there. But I am not going to look at any theorycrafting or where specific stuff is. Really want to go in kinda blind and go looking for stuff and see what I can make work. This game...

    Enter the Gungeon

    Some necromancy here but I have been playing this a good amount lately. It's kind of addicting once you get good at it. Runs are short. I haven't beat any of it yet but I have unlocked a lot of stuff. I do dislike getting boned with super shitty guns early so the bosses are just a slog. The...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don't care about a dude bitching about his wife. That is a lot of this thread. I see my kid growing up and I see my own age. I just sit there and wish I had more of that. Why did I wait so long? Plain and simple. If you get married you're going to bitch about her and we'll be here to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Being that numbers guy that I tend to be Cad here is right. If you are making brokedick money (<$60k indefinitely) then the tradwife situation will ultimately benefit you. Assuming you and the wife stick together and don't break up for any reason. The children (which are what really matters)...

    Paranoid Mage is awesome but its going a bit off the rails here. I think the author is going to have a major world building problem. The magic society is supposedly heavily within guardrails about what "is the proper application of magic." In the sense that if you are a healing affinity mage and...

    I keep looking into this but everything I read is that AMZN basically has zero reason or incentive to do so. Maybe that will change with Bezos out the door though.
