    EVE Online

    I was just gonna join Eve University for now and do some 'safe' PvE exploration/scanning, maybe some of this fancy new abyss ratting stuff? I tried joining one of the Brace Newbie fleets back when I first tried this and it was kinda ass? Like yea they gave me a bunch of frigates to fly, but all...

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

    I'm in Chicago, last two years were on infrastructure engineering maintaining and spinning down an ancient openstack pipeline in favor of building out a new kube cloud to replace it (this won't be done for another year or so but who knows with me and the other layoffs). Prior to that was...

    Yea I made a new account last night and tried to totally new experience and it's pretty good really. The referral bonus plus starting skills is really enough to be able to train up pretty well at one specific task. I'm gonna end up just using my old account though cause it's pretty welled maxed...

    EVE Online

    Yea I'm pretty sure I was doing it all in wormhole space back when I was playing cause I could there relatively safely with my cloaking. From the looks of it I think the play is to just re-sub my guy with ~10m SP and just try and re-learn the game manually. This Agency thing looks like it has a...

    Whelp, me and fully half of my team got laid off today. 10 years and a couple mergers/acquisitions for it to end on a random monday morning. I'm not even sure I remember how to apply for a job at this point

    Well right now I'm playing the tutorial so I can remember the basics of like, how to move my ship and how to fire guns lmao. It's gonna be a minute before I do anything more complex than mine or rat in highsec from the way this is going so far. I was nowhere near good at the game 10 years ago...

    Just fucking around in pob some you could play anything and have basically infinite damage, so I'm probably gonna try and do something dumb with sunder and scale as much AOE as I possibly can to just hit the entire screen at once.

    Liquidated some shit in standard to actually mirror an item cause someone linked it to me on discord and I've never seen anything so absurd before. ~2450 pdps, completely reasonable item to exist

    EVE Online

    So I dug around a bit more and looks like a brand new character starts with ~1.5m SP assuming you use the refer-a-friend bonus. The free accounts can only train up to 5m total SP, after which you have to buy injectors to continue or pay for a monthly sub. This is kinda weird cause you can buy...

    EVE Online

    Well I logged in and my old guy has ~10m SP which I think is probably low enough that the booster starter is just better? Unless there's some way I can go through the new player intro since this char is so old, but I'm not entirely sure.

    So how dead is this game? If it's not dead, how behind am I if the last time I logged in was uh, 2008 or so? Looking at some of this crap casually it looks like I should just make a new account and go through the new player shit and I'd be in a better spot than trying to re-active my old account?

    Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries announced.

    I actually finished the campaign this time, but holy shit this game is still so fucking bad A couple of years of DLCs and uncountable mods helped, but the core systems are still a complete joke. There's 0 logic or flow to enemies in maps at all, and things just spawn in at complete random...

    It's the summer of 2025. You sit down to play modern on a Friday evening. It's pretty hot out and your LGS kinda has that summer funk already building, but you don't mind. Everyone shuffles up and the fun begins. Your opponent plays The Justice League Tower for his first land which taps for...

    Heh well I installed a bunch of most popular crap from the Steam workshop and currently cannot play the game as enemy tanks are taking 12+ medium laser burns to destroy and are carrying around SRM20s and AC10s against this starting light mech lmao

    I only ever played it on launch via Gamepass and it kinda sucked, but I heard with enough mods it's not bad grabbed it during the sale a few weeks ago or whatever. There a decent lists someplace of mods to install?

    The tree krangles need to be per character or per account or something. It just being one global tree is retarded and just leads to datamining the tree, seeing which ascendancy is the least fucked by it, and everyone just playing that.

    Yea Kalandra seems super strange there. It's a one week event - you could spend 12 hours a day slamming nothing but Kalandra lakes and very easily never see the actual reflect an item tile or whatever. I guess just touch the mirror each map and sell them if people care? Sentinel is fuckin...

    I'm a pretty big cynic on the whole 'clearly named rare mods vs archnemesis' thing. Rolling up mob abilities in to 'flamestrider' or whatever wasn't really any functionally different to me than seeing a current rare that has 'ignite resistant, has molten shells, moves faster' or whatever the...

    Archnemsis didn't go away lol, they just removed all the names. All the mods are still there and can stack in the same ways, they just hit rares with -1 affixes and deleted all the scary names people had come to hate

    Zaide and Fatez want it to be, but their player base is uh, questionable. So far they've managed to herd them in to the servers only dragon kills though. I have no idea what if any other competition there is gonna be on this thing, but from the sounds of it no other guilds even have a roster...

    It was the parasite guy with the floating walrus mobs yea. Maybe it's just a gear level thing? But we couldn't do any damage to the parasite during his running around phase at all. We eventually beat it by just letting him attach to my character and sit there continually poisning me while...

    I'm pretty sure p99 has done permanent damage to everyone that has played on it for years. They don't actually know how to play the game anymore, they just know how to play p99 where nothing matters cause everyone is full Velious BIS and any mob of import dies within 10 seconds of spawning...
