    It took me longer than that. It's still an ongoing process if I'm being honest. It probably doesn't help that he has speech impediment. It really helped once he wanted to play some of the same games that I want to. No, I'm not letting him play PoE at 6.

    You're not playing PoE right if you need to see shit. Memorize fights, dodge what you know is coming, make yourself as immune as possible to everything else.

    Committed some code just now that's in response to review comments on a merge request. Unbeknownst to me, git will tell you how much of a file you've rewritten for a commit. I think this has a minimum threshold as it didn't report this on every file. Food for thought: if responding to review...

    I don't like lab content either, but it's one the best ways to benchmark your growth as a player. I used to dread doing uber lab, had to buy extra offerings early on. Now, my baseline hp for doing each lab level has continually dropped. I think I'm down to 2k hp for merc lab and 3.5k for uber.

    It's amazing the myth of Soygen's asianness has persisted to this day. Does that speak towards Soygen or more towards us? It's merely a human reaction. If something is being annoying, how do I reduce that annoyance? In the case of a young kid, part time custody is usually the only "logical"...

    Within the length of a typical league, unveiling is non-deterministic. I've never had a complete set since 3.5. Part of that is because they still haven't figured out how to make running the Mastermind worthwhile, but I still don't get all of the enchants from Syndicate members either. Within...

    Leagues are completely fresh starts, account-based permanent goes against that. If you're sick of running the acts, make a game out of it. I'm closing in on 4 hours twinked to maps. I also made a leveling PoB that let's you level up any character the exact same because it's passives agnostic.

    Don't treat uber lab as required character progression. If you don't want to hop on trade and get it done in 30 minutes(understandable, I don't do that anymore), it's a nice bonus you'll get eventually. Like your passive points post 90. If uber lab "packs the most punch", that means you built...

    RNG is baked into almost every facet of this game. What is notable about this specific system compared to the others that makes its RNG especially shitty?

    That said, Delerium looks good. I really like that they are layering it on top of existing content. Whatever noob that's making these videos needs to turn off screen shake on crit.

    As in, impossible to know how they will modify your passive tree without equipping it? Yeah, that is frustrating. I only plan to buy a timeless jewel if it can offer a deterministic benefit. Like strength stacking builds, or a Keystone modification.

    Stories told well survive being spoiled. It's especially appalling if they consciously made release choices based around not spoiling the story of an ARPG. JJ Abrams should hire these idiots.

    Is homeowner's insurance similar to car insurance in that it's not worth filing a claim under a certain dollar amount? A screen door became unlatched and some high winds smash it against some accumulated ice and snow on the deck. It's bent to all hell and the cheap particle board interior...

    Time to bust out your oscilloscope! I'm assuming you've tried different offsets around 32kb, testing for ++ errors somewhere in the code. My initial guess is that the initial communication isn't being handled correctly to leave continued communication as a possibility. Is this SPI or I2C?

    When I first started, I found working with Python really frustrating. I didn't know the language, no one else here really had a good IDE to recommend, so I was winging it in Notepad++. Admittedly, my year or so of code is really sloppy. I've since found that using an IDE with an automatic...

    Yes, we're aware of the looming security risks with continuing to use Python 2. We're one of "those shops" where we decided regular python wasn't good enough for us, so it was doctored up. Upgrading to 3 isn't going to be as plug and play as it should be.

    I'm not going to defend the shortfalls of weak typing, but can you give some examples? I've found some `assert isinstance` will fix typing ambiguity issues. The other one I commonly run into is old style print formatting where you need to know the type or hope the object implemented str() or...
