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

    Spurred by a mini tangent in the Hearthstone thread, I have a question for the devs of this thread, or I guess anyone that writes codes somewhat seriously. What would your reaction be to QA telling you to review your own damn test results? Obviously I phrased that bombastically. I would never...

    Just curious, after using a bidet, how do you guys dry up down there? While it's been sprayed with water, I still don't want any towels touching it.

    Loot hunt, I guess I can see. I'm still having trouble determining what my "end game" for PoE to be. I had a nice goal in D3 for a while and that was just the season journey. No petering out, no getting frustrated and bored. Get the cosmetics you want and done. This allowed "new" content to...

    While I do not doubt I said that, I don't specifically remember it either! It's harder to see once you're past the hurdle, but PoE's new player experience was very clunky. Still kinda is.

    Which supporter pack did you buy this time, Ryanz? Killing time between races, tried some S12 in D3, couldn't do it. Is it really just that it's hard to get into a game that has no dev support behind it? Also found myself thinking combat wasn't as "meaty" as it is in PoE. Screen shakes and...

    Kiblers videos on hearthstone balance are quite enjoyable and educational, shame he's just a streamer. As a sort of tangent that might not be right for this thread, I'm of the mind that QAs job is to ensure product quality through whatever metrics and to make the devs job of testing as easy and...

    Gwent - Standalone Game

    Anyone know if this game is getting alternate play modes and a mobile client? Seems kinda crucial at this point as I have very little desire to play the laddering game.

    Devs don't test, QA tests. I'm kinda joking but not really. I'm the head of QA at a small dev shop and it's a dichotomy I'm actively working against. I know typical programming practices don't apply to games 1:1, but I wouldn't be surprised if the people making the cards weren't the...

    I wouldn't recommend berserker self cast DP with what they're doing to VP next league. It's quite painful leveling up and is still a non-insignificant downside(oops, just cast 2+ times onto no targets, there goes 12-24% of my life!) after getting VP and enough damage to offset the 6% life cost...

    I require all my builds to fit single target skills now. Trying to play an AE-only build seems a bit too constraining in the current game. Gonna miss Tempest's Binding.

    There's more than a few situations where you get "stuck" DPSing a boss because moving means you don't leech. The boss of plateau can easily kill you after you kill his buddy, even with VP. That's the kind of stuff I hope they get rid of.

    They're already at nutso price levels. Not that I don't disagree with you on the regen part. I would just prefer more parts of the game would let you take advantage of that. Most of the end game content is designed to one shot you. Hopefully said content is getting retuned.

    Did you corrupt them for some valuable mod? 6L Bellies aren't worth that much exalt on average. Or, wait, are you playing on standard?

    Is that volley support what that hilarious split arrow threshold jewel was doing during the 3.0 beta? Seems nice for catching mobs that escape your projectile cone and get in at your sides, but I'd miss that large cone at the end. Decisions!

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    As long as your teammates can hear you telling them to fuck off, does it really matter? I have a mic from...god, I don't know how old it is. Some old Logitech PoS that I think I bought when Win XP came out. Some people on this forum can attest to how shitty it is. Maybe I should get a new one.

    I wonder if builds that utilize QoTF are going to be meta because they'll handle maps with obstacles much better than shield charge and whirling blades.

    Why don't kinetic blast or barrage have MTXs? Seem like pretty popular skills that meh visuals. I'd pay premium MTX price for a black hole effect for KB's explosions. Or Shaper Beam for barrage that grows in size based on how many projectiles you're firing per second.

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

    I think I'd be happy with SVN if I could do partial file commits. Doesn't git have problems as your repository grows? The place I work, product is usually on trunk and research has branches off that. When it comes close to release, product branches off until release installers are built and...

    I would consider regression testing even if you haven't made any changes. We have ours setup to continuously run regardless of commits. Helps expose rare errors like leaks or crashes. Does make a heavier load for test review though.
