Seems he wasn't really paying attention to the actually quite good story in TLoU1 if he's asking stupid questions like "What the fuck even is smuggling in the kind of world the audience is presented?" The entire first act in the game explains this pretty clearly.

This is a weird conversation. The entirety of the *real-time* story of TLoU was Joel's redemption arc. He was not a good guy before he meets Ellie. He's a fairly ruthless smuggler and Ellie is something he was originally "hired" to smuggle.

Oh great, I gotta deal with AI coming for my job and now I gotta worry about it kicking me out of my own goddamn group in a single player game because I "pull too fast" or some shit?!?!

They need to just stop confusing people with the fake offline mode in that normal launcher. Its very stupid that actual offline mode is "full offline" in the steam settings. I dont get how that isn't fixed yet. It's a holdover from them screwing up the offline mode at launch and having to throw...

Eye of Round is not particularly good and Chuck is not going to carve. Its going to fall apart/shred like you specifically asked about. Just FYI. The only way to get Chuck roast to carve like a prime rib is to sous vide it for like 36+ hours. It will actually cut and taste very similar to...

Ridiculous. The summer will be from late June to late September as it always is.

This is exactly what happened to me late last year. And the same reason I decided I am never building my own ever again. It turned out it was my CPU in my case but I replaced almost every component besides the GPU before I was finally able to figure out what the fuck was actually doing it...

Its funny watching all these ARPGs trip over themselves by taking all the bad ideas from their competition rather than the good ones.

I think Kowloon Generic Romance might end up being a standout this season

I think it has meaningful layers of stat progression and knowing which slots get better versions (or hybrid versions of 2 stats other slots don't get) and min/maxing that is interesting. Knowing which slots have high value t1 affixes for sealing and such, etc. For instance knowing what Blind...

Simple but satisfying progression where you can actually make your own build or setup without bricking your whole experience that has good, short term charm. I think most people can get a good 2 weeks out of LE and feel satisfied with it. I think most people would expect only getting 2 weeks...

LE will never EVER have the end game potential of PoE because of the design philosophy. Almost everything in LE is siloed based on class. All the way down to armor types like helms and chests being class specific. Very little gear has any potential whatsoever to be used in niche or interesting...

There are alternatives for passive points and idol slots now. Dungeon bosses grant these in 1.2 as well. You do need to get to act 5 at least though so you can skip to the faction unlocks in act 9 by completing temporal Sanctum.

The campaign is basically only there to start teaching you basic mechanics and that's it. The devs have stated they want to funnel people into end game loops without any kind of big time sink. The end game is just kind of lacking. They are taking steps to try to make it more engaging but...

Ahh yes, the foh username approval panel. I don't know why we pay them. Obviously useless

I was just being cheeky, I never even logged in for .2 because I hate the game and actually don't play things I hate.

Simmer down Chris

Just that he's a weird dude. I was re-watching that video you linked because I'm starting Warlock and wanted to see if there was anything I was unaware of and got to that point in the video and thought "Jesus"

Now that you guys mention it I feel like I should just switch from developer into security. You just tell everyone "I don't like that, we can't do that" and then do nothing right?

EDIT: nevermind, repeat!

Had to give em the Bass, Treble and Tin test. When I worked in Manhattan I used to hear these guys in the subways on my way home from work (true story) and they sounded way different and worse after they got a record deal and I listened to them through speakers. But these headphones actually...

I've never really cared much about this but my speakers suck and I didn't feel like buying an appropriate setup and putting all the speakers in the correct location and calibrating and all that other bullshit so I ended up spending money on headhphones. Sennheiser HD600. Jesus Christ I had no...

That guy is so cringe. I really hope a lot of the poe creators stick around in LE so I don't have to see that weirdo's builds get linked anymore haha.

If you want to play offline make sure you go into the settings for Last Epoch in steam and change the "Selected Launch Option" to "Play Full Offline"

Warlock doesn't feel floaty to me. Unless you are speaking specifically about collision detection which is just abysmal all around. The "running in place" stuff when surrounded by monsters

What class/build are you playing? This has a lot to do with that. A lot of what you are referring to has been addressed for a lot of the skills but there are still some big offenders.

I kinda wish she leaned into it harder and the quote read "and he did a heluva job"

You're not supposed to look at the numbers, just the colors. Noob.

I wouldn't be surprised if they released an actual WH briefing putting the China tariffs at 42069%

I've been at this company since 2007. I look at some of the code I wrote back then and I turn into Gordon Ramsay.

Jookathon?

Are you using an Intel processor? I had the same type of problem last year and the issue ended up being the Intel CPU.

It is an unfun pile of shit. It's also new and attracted a lot of new players that are still working their way through the campaign which is probably the correct explanation of retention numbers. Both things can be true. And Jonathan can be a disingenuous, arrogant prick about it all he wants...

Yea it's a pub-sub message broker/messaging engine. BizTalk is the same concept though it's old, outdated, and deals in XML payloads which are large and cumbersome.

I should just dig into Kafka. This is the kind of thing that I used to do all the time throughout my professional career, just take a few weekends and learn new shit. I just cannot find the motivation to do it anymore.

*Relic

I have a hard time motivating myself to stay current these days as well because it just doesn't seem like knowledge and effort mean much anymore. My company has this ridiculous "recognition" program where you can recognize coworkers and it gives them "points" and they get listed in a weekly...
