    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It really doesn't, actually. One could even say that it doesn't rely on gear checks enough. All of the content is beatable week 1 or week 2 without all the catchup gear, extra renown levels, corruption resistance, or whatever other soft barriers exist. Vanilla WoW on the other hand actually...

    The funny thing is that Ion anticipated all of these problems, wrote about them even, and then went ahead with the original implementations anyway.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Again, we've been here before. Ulduar is still the best raid. It had a separate, hidden boss, Algalon, and 5 progressive difficulties for the main boss (the different achievements, 3 lights in the darkness, 2, 1, Alone in the Darkness.) I totally understand cutting edge players who feel like...

    The armor sets are just data in a file. Whomever had the file viewer chose to put them on that model and take a screenshot.

    That's not really what I'm talking about. I mean the little adventures you get into along the way to going someplace. Clearing out a camp to get a chest or a resource node, etc, that just happens to pop up while you're on your way someplace.

    I bet lesser known character "Dr. Cuomo "Bellyrubs" Huxtable" will have to be renamed as well.

    New World

    It definitely seems like a game that's about the journey and not the destination, which is something I've always thought was a large, untapped design space.

    I'm not into games that don't have 40 hours of required chores per week just to participate in the 'fun' parts.

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

    Having gone from a 1300 person company to a 3000 person company, I really want to go work for a 10 person shop for a while when I'm done with all of this, haha.

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

    I am currently making $$$ migrating contact centers to "the cloud" (aka getting them off shitty on-premises Avaya crap and moving it to newer but just as shitty Avaya crap living in our vaguely cloudy datacenters) with all that's going on with COVID and customers needing more flexibility to...

    I meant getting out of Contact Center implementations and moving into CRM/ITSM implementations.

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

    Implement shiny new cloud-based CRM or ITSM platform-as-a-service, use <10% of the features because you don't have a Salesforce/SNOW/JIRA/whatever developers on staff to implement any of the automation that was supposed to save you money. But hey, at least you're not using a ticket system that...

    None of the high end OLED or QLED monitors are heavy. I have a 50 inch QLED but it would be awkward as fuck at my desk. A 40 or 43 inch could work though.

    I'm not into crypto, it's just a trade. A convenient way to make a bunch of money on momentum plays and market psychology, the same way I made a bunch of money on MTGO. I *was* into crypto back when bitcoins were under 2k and nobody gave a shit about them. Now I am into payment processing...

    You can already try to put a paywall anywhere you want on the internet. Unless your content is amazing, no one will buy it. NFTs do nothing new other than let people sell their ownership on their own terms, which honestly isn't something that content makers actually want to implement. For...

    I actually think it's the opposite, MMOs are generally for people who like to "feel" productive, that's why they generally grow to resemble work so much.

    SWTOR and WAR had the same problem for me, like a 0.3 second lag on every ability for no reason, even when the game was running properly.

    My point was that the appetite for a space MMO is very high and the expectation floor is pretty low. I think everyone has been doing the space MMO wrong. You could build tons of locales within a single solar system, or 2 or 3. Space is really fucking big, there's no need to make it needlessly...

    Have you seen Star Citizen? People have pumped 380 million dollars into a game that's been in barely-playable Alpha long enough to be in middle school by now.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    My point is that people will eventually get bored of a video game. It's a 17 year old video game that was not even close cutting-edge when it was new. It should have died a long time ago. Yet people on the internet, who don't even play the game anymore, will spend time analyzing graphs of...

    That's a great monitor but this is the slightly better version of the same: It has the higher binned panels of the same generation and it has a powered USB3.0 hub.

    Because I have a high end Dell TB dock for my Precision workstation for work, would be nice to be able to just swap it out for another computer with just 1 cable.

    That's pretty cool, actually. I might have a use for that. I wish someone made a miniPC that could be powered off a thunderbolt dock. So basically a laptop without the screen, hah.
