    The tank does not support the porch at all. Basically, the space under the porch doubles as storage for the tank. There was some horizontal wood, but I doubt it was for support. It was likely the form for pouring. Half has rotted away. You're already talking well beyond my confidence to do...

    I have 7 ex and 800+ chaos(I got really lucky on drops, a mirror shard and inspired learning dropped) if anyone needs an infusion of cash to finish up the flashback. Played WOrb for the event, definitely ready to move onto something else. It's a meta for a reason but the flashback was actually...

    That's what I've been using, just wanted to see if there was something better. I don't know much about concrete. Would rather not have to replace the porch yet, sunk $5.5k into fixing the ground water seepage issues.

    Any recommendations for patching "chunks" of concrete? We have a front porch with the propane tank underneath it, which isn't used anymore. Nothing directly supports the concrete's middle, so it changes shape with the temperature and the bowing is pronounced in the summer. You can see water...

    Yeah, I ain't buying either of those. TBF, perhaps that's what GGG deserves for Synthesis.

    Yeah, maybe I should stop using QA as a descriptor. No one's running manual QA except when release nears. Those should be automated, but easier said than done. But there's still some "manual" aspects to the job, like triaging automated results. I'd love to rid of the whole "janitor" aspect...

    Bex said they are minorly buffing Unyielding, which is the damage/aoe/stun duration per endurance charge node. Basically, only juggs playing tectonic slam took it occasionally because it also generated endurance charges while clearing.

    As bad as the Gladiator "rework" was, slayer and berserker have been fantastic. A bunch of generic passives that work for many builds and aren't tied to any specific mechanics like Impale or Sand/Blood Stance(stop doing this GGG!). Also, stop creating arbitrary charges. Are you too good for...

    That's a bit of grey area. "Automating scripts" doesn't sound too complicated. I mean, our test system is SCons, shell, and 95% Python scripts, but it's close 30k lines at this point.

    I don't mind QA if I can get a fair bit of programming in. Any decent QA job should have some because you need to have a robust automated regression testing system. So, I'm having trouble interpreting my boredom. 5+ years in the same job? QA itself is just boring no matter how much you have to...

    You miss out on Undeniable(depending on the build, the attack speed can be nice) and stun and slow immunity. Depending on the build, Unbreaking and Unrelenting might provide tangible benefits too. You can make up stun and slow immunity elsewhere, but that attack speed might be tough. I'm...

    Arya doing a character 360 right into a Styx song is definitely dumb but nowhere near the dumbest thing of the seasons since that was a part of 1 scene and the epilogue.

    Chains is not how the Nexus works anymore. You want a memory modifier farm in the shape of a cross and then you path to clumps of distant memories every so often.

    Working with a "simple" IDE like Notepad++ will teach you the value of grepping your codebase. Essentially, it teaches you where and how to look for answers. At least, that's what I tell myself. One of my minions still has this annoying habit of asking me questions before putting any real...

    I've been using VS Code for Python on @wormie's recommendation and it's been great for the usages you mention. It can sometimes get hung up finding symbols but I attribute that to Python's weak typing making determination more difficult. I have not used it for C/C++.
