    I'm hooked. If Terraria hooked you I imagine Stardew will be the same. It is all about doing the same thing over and over but incrementally better.

    She's in the healthcare sector right now and there are some opportunities around the Irvine area. Verizon also has a big office really close to Blizzard which I think would be the most ideal fit. But there is a fairly large healthcare place north of Irvine which would work well so we could...

    Interested in this as well. As it stands HotS is really only a PvE game for the first handful of minutes of the game and then shifts into 100% team fight centric. I would be interested if there was a wider breadth of strategy to choose from with your roster and I think making creeps more...

    Yeah people seem really confused that assault maps have a time bank and exactly how you win/lose the maps. I had to convince my team on Hanamura after both teams double capped we weren't in sudden death and we shouldn't stack Winstons.

    Its a 15 dollar game. Even if it was 100% off you'd only be saving 15 dollars.

    I haven't discussed specifics on the salary. If they match my current salary it would be immediately a 10% increase because Blizzard offers a 10% year-end bonus. They also offer two profit (performance?) bonuses throughout the year. It sounds like from Glassdoor the profit share bonuses are...

    At exhaustive length. I think she's more excited about the move than I am, actually. She's just nervous about finding employment out there but there seems to be a few options for her.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    My guess is their return process isn't nearly as streamlined as their outgoing process. So if something is like $30 it probably costs them more in manpower and logistics than it would be to just eat the cost. Like their outgoing process is mostly automated up until the boxing stage where...

    Onoes reminds me of the guy who sees construction and the left lane obviously merges into the right but the right is backed up so he uses the left up until the second it merges and then expects everyone to let him in. Like we all didn't realize it would be the faster way to fuck over everyone...

    Major differences. J49's thread isn't in this forum it is in Screens. Completely different expectations of the subs. The next is J49 completely and totally owns who he is, recognizes his faults and accepts them. He is never trying to convince people what he is doing is right or acceptable...

    There is also the blatant fraud. One of the reasons we can't have nice things in this country (and the few things we have are already super expensive) is because people game and subvert the system because it individually benefits them. Collect enough shit bags like that and suddenly any...

    You can usually just kite Mei or disengage her. Genji still has a higher base speed than Mei so if you get outside of her range of cold blast you can just fire off LMB shurikens. But usually it just takes so long to kill her I just disengage and go elsewhere.

    Yeah the number of times I'm Genji not really doing a whole ton but just harassing the backline and suddenly my team caps the objective is pretty high. Happens a ton on Hanamura A.

    The issue is they didn't know what would work and what people want. They took their more casual and more successful game Hearthstone as a template for their ranked system. It didn't work for Heroes. So they went back and used Starcraft2 as their ranked template.

    IMO its easier (far easier) to bastardize C++ than it is to bastardize C. But don't blame the language for an incompetent programmer writing terrible code.

    It is basically ranked like how SC2 will be ranked -- which is just an improvement upon SC2's ladder system. So instead of the "Rank 1" yadda yadda you're in a more abstract bucket like "Platinum 3" and going up to Grand Master. So now it is actually an accomplishment to be ranked at the...

    I can't speak to C++ since like I said I don't program in it but in Java before Lambdas existed you'd have a Function interface the method would accept and you'd define your logic in an anonymous inner class. This appears similar for_each

    Proper button layout is my big thing. That way when anything comes up saying "Press Y" on my SNES controller I don't have to remember what that is mapped to on my duel shock. Not a huge deal admittedly but playing the game with the equipment it was intended to be played on always feels better IMO.

    Doesn't std::for_each pre-date the actual baked-in for each loop? Not that the std::for_each syntax looks too much prettier.

    I have that SNES controller as well and the D-pad is still a bit too touchy for me. Not as bad as the NES controllers but not as good as the original SNES one.

    I don't program C++ I have no idea what you do in that bizzaro world. I just saw your syntax and knew C++ supported collection iteration. But I'd have to assume you'd have to pass in your actual "what to do" somewhere so lambda seems like a proper fit.

    Ah so C++ 'auto' is basically like var/def. I fucking hate duck typing. I can only imagine trying to read and understand C++ mixed in with duck types.

    I just bought a NES -> USB adaptor off Amazon. I tried a few NES USB controllers and I couldn't find one that replicated the quality (mostly the D-pad) of the original NES controllers. I have some laying around so figured I'd try this out before I start really digging into research on what the...
