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

    Man, Office 365... We had a C-level exec experience inbox corruption. Microsoft hasn't been able to fix or do anything about it for two weeks now. We had to make a rule to pipe mail to a temp mailbox while we hope to get the old one going. We have a backup that they provide, but it's fairly old...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I would not recommend playing unpatched modern console games. There is a crazy rush to create the master disc with data that is certified by Microsoft or Sony. Often they get that certification and keep that build on there despite having 3 months (or more) of progress made after the disc version...

    They probably have stats that show how often the blu-ray drive is used. I've never used mine, personally. Data drives a lot of these decisions, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't worth the $20 extra dollars. (or whatever the cost was)

    Titanfall 2

    Well, this time around they got fist-fucked by their launch date. They couldn't have picked a worse time to launch. That said, both Amazon and Target are having inventory issues. That's possibly a good sign for us - more players to play the game with. Not so much EA, who is only getting...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    If you release a game with a 60 FPS target and it often can't hit that target, and THEN there is a new hardware that can more often hit your fucking original target, what do you do? You patch it out so it performs as bad as the existing equipment. Amazing.

    What do you do?

    I've been doing technology bullshit since the mid 90s. I'm rounded enough that I'm top line support for most groups (network, database, development, sysadmins, ops) so I have a constant stream of piddly bullshit to fill in the gaps. The main thing that keeps me happy is that I get to prototype...

    What do you do?

    I work from home. I keep a full time job and a part time job. I tend to stay in the biotech/pharma industry, and I still like the job title "Generalist". Full stack can get fucked. I bailed on the SF Bay Area lifestyle when my 3rd kid was born. It's not worth the stress, cost, and time spent...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Launch day or launch week Monster Hunter title is a GREAT way to move a console like the Switch, I'll give them that.

    Poll What FPS are you buying this winter?

    None, but not because they are gay. Mostly because it's the same game with different graphics over and over again. I'm over it. Maybe they are gay after all.

    Not enough 4k content to justify buying some shit Xbox this fall when they are going to have the Scorpio out next fall.

    Atmos only matters if you are mounting a speaker directly above you. On your fucking ceiling. I'm still 5.1, personally, despite having more money invested in my setup than I care to mention.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Thanks for the tip! Although I'm a moron and just bought the PC season pass instead of the PS4 season pass.. Don't make the same mistake I did. Be sure to read the fine print on the version you are selecting. Now we'll see if customer support can just change my platform, or if I have to place...

    People went to the second gen Prius because you got 50/50 mpg. What I don't understand, and I doubt we want to down this road, is why Toyota has basically sat on their hands for the last decade after being SO FAR AHEAD of everyone else. The 2016 Prius also gets 50/50 mpg. They haven't innovated...

    Battlefield 1

    I was watching this guy play yesterday afternoon while working. He's so good to the point it makes me want to not even buy the game. The sniper shot / instantly pull out pistol and finish them off stuff is just top to bottom retarded.

    Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide

    Bumping this thread. Vermintide came out on consoles this month. $40 and it includes all of the extra maps and things from the PC release. I've been playing it on PS4 - virtually nobody else on my friends list is, however. It's a solid game with some buggy matchmaking at the moment. It runs...

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

    I... I'm a little reluctant to talk about what I do or who I do it for, but I'll sketch out a summary. I switched to working entirely from home about 6 years ago. Since I deleted my commute I was able to pick up a 20 hr/week 100% remote part time job working for a SF startup. The key to...

    Lose the manbun and make the beard 50% gray and that's exactly what I'd look like in a VR headset. Other than the pleb headphones, of course. I'm not a peasant.

    I don't know about that... Microsoft doesn't even know what Scorpio is yet. It's a year away, best case scenario. Xbone slims probably outsell PS4 slims because more people have PS4s than Xbones. I wouldn't think about it too much.

    I tried PSVR at Best Buy last week. I couldn't get it in focus. Occasionally as I moved the headset around it would focus briefly, then quickly go fuzzy again. Bigtime gimmick. VR blew its load too early again.

    I have the device because of the multiple consoles I have plus kids tablets and stuff. I have 8 out of 10 slots on it filled. Charging station required when everyone in the house (5 people) games. 4+ controllers for each console. It's a fucking mess.

    Yeah, I played alpha as well. This was either the game with the hot air balloon torches that were sent out during night that floated over the world, or it was the one with laser crucibles that shot into the sky. When I played there weren't any monsters or anything, you just kind of wandered. I...
