    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    Seems my Nostradumbass predictions were reasonably close to accurate. It took about two weeks to retool Trinity into the Linux env. They haven't succeeded yet but they claim to be Close(tm).

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Okay I almost have my entry camping gear setup for the fam. I grew up camping a lot so I am looking forward to getting my kids on that train. I intend to touch grass in the near future a lot more than I have for the past decade working my ass off. So far I have: Springbar tent. Partner Steel 2...

    If you are around a lot of Indians the lower caste Indians will often talk about this. Even removed from India for 20+ years castes can be recognized by the style of the name. Even if they are from different parts of India and do not share the same language. For example most Indians in Austin...

    Since they will wipe BB before going live they probably shouldn't burn people out in the short term.

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    Yeah most people are just bad with money. Even when they're trying to be good with money. Watch Caleb Hammer or Dave Ramsey for just a few hours and be stunned how bad people are with money. High income or low income earners. I naturally had good spending and saving habits. Hit 7 figures at...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    World buffs are totally fine for just playing the game. I like that they allow everyone, even little Timmy, to participate in a way. That they exist is a good thing. Complete faggot world buff Molten Core speed running is just that. It is PURE cancer to raiding.

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    My kids will be 18 in the next 15 years. I am 37. I am beginning my plan for longterm living already with my primary goals being to touch grass more after a career of staring at screens. I have loads of things to do and in general am fine with just taking it easy a lot. I have tons of books to...

    That's a lot of house. Do you need smth this big? I am looking at getting a house in Laramie, WY in the next year or so. It has nice things for sale so I am not much concerned about it for the time being. Just waiting for the right time when I have enough cash on hand. Which will likely be next...

    I feel your pain there. I hate that shit. They ask for a comment on something that I may know about. I give it my best guess or who may know more? Immediately it must be me who has to fix it.

    I don't know all of the details but from what I have gathered the whole thing is classic. As this is a factory that cost millions to build and propietary technology that took a decade to design and implement it has a variety of simulation gates that any updates must pass before being used on the...

    I am looking for a camping stove. Like a 2 burner propane thing preferably. Something I can hook up to a standard propane tank you buy from the grocery store. The only ones made in USA though are the Coleman Dual Fuel burner which takes White Fuel or Gasoline. Do I just need to buy an ancient...

    The level of clownshow that my wife's work has become is impressive. She is in the final rounds of interviews for someplace else but it's just amazing. It has been 18 months since an Indian VP was brought onboard for the manufacturing engineering part of the company. He immediately fired...

    Supposedly they have a RP PVE server coming out on Aug 17th. Ambershire. Along with their massive content patch. I will definitely be trying out their U5 version but I will be waiting for that. A new server to go on is good though. https://forum.turtle-wow.org/viewtopic.php?t=20603

    I had a watershed moment using 3 different MCPs within Cursor AI. I had two tasks that were 5 story points. A year ago these two tasks would have taken me 1.5 days or so of heads down programming. So realistically like 5 days because of meetings that waste my time. With 3 MCPs and a Cursor chat...

    WoW Ascension (Classless Realm)

    Overall I agree with the MadSeason guy although I guess everyone speaks around the edges about it. The primary thing WOW or its derivatives need to do is allow horizontal growth. Resetting you constantly is the one thing that just sucks ass. Time Locked Progression every now and again is fun but...

    Just something I noticed. I haven't been looking for a job really but I make it a point to do a few interviews a year and keep my resume up to date.

    Talked to the company today. They asked me about comp and they effectively want someone with "staff engineer" level skills in data infrastructure. Which is my current role. But they also want someone who can do all of the business facing AI stuff they are asking for. For this they said their pay...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Not the point. The point is that you CAN do stuff solo and aren't limited by other players not being around to quest. If questing is the primary goal of the game. In order to manage this a little better a MMO needs a plethora of progression routes that are not limited to other players helping...

    This is kind of a reason I work in data infrastructure. The younger engineers have absolutely no understanding of it and that is me being generous. Even the youngbloods who are very competent with the current state of app development are terrible at understanding and applying older architecture...

    Troons tend to congregate in no life free games. Again most players seem to be on the dole. Just gotta tune them out as much as you reasonably can. Texas Knights on Turtle WoW was the most LOL guild. They attracted astounding levels of troon hate. I loved it.

    I like the chill aspect of the wow leveling experience. I have never, ever, been the type to just poopsock to level 60 and speedrun raids then sit around. I like doing the wow leveling experience every few years even now.
