    Equal Pay for Equal Work?

    I know about software development and I agree with him. What's annoying is that before your rant you agreed with what he said. Switch jobs. Oh and we go around about this in the CompSci thread. Yes, there are a lot of great software developers without degrees and a lot of poor software...

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    This video makes me want to see TDS become more conservative than what Stewart had. I watched a few Jon Oliver vids, all the ones I watched seemed leftist to the point of being dishonest and fake rage. Is that still the same? I like bipartisan comedy better than partisan comedy because it's...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't know of any book readers in this community who are eagerly awaiting the next book but don't watch GoT, so I'm not worried about having a thread to talk about the books that doesn't allow talking about the TV show. We'll see how this season goes, but my guess is that there will still...

    Equal Pay for Equal Work?

    You're a product and your value is determined by who will pay you. If you feel you're being underpaid you have to make your employers believe you are willing and able to work elsewhere for more money. How do you do this? tough call.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Vague question: In my last playthrough of BG1/2, I found that the somewhat archaic inventory system was a chore to work through. I spent more time dealing with inventory management and clicking on inventory / merchant screens than I am comfortable with. Does PoEternity have the same problem?

    Tangential, but what makes mercs or "small groups of very capable people" interesting is that you usually have no recourse against them. They've built up their wealth or income in a way you can't really impact and you can't dissuade them by killing them because they live for that. Where as in a...

    You always hear about mercenaries or protection money before a game comes out but it's rare that it happens from my experience. Usually paying a fair wage for the time of N people is too high.

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

    There's two points here: 1. Only a minority of people reading this thread probably have heavy experience in C, so != null is more clear to people. 2. Even within veterans of C, different programmers use different ways of pointer-checking and to be adament that one way is right is silly.

    With a system of money having weight and loot on death I like NPC merchants scattered in different areas. I also wouldn't mind an auction house UI like Valor describes where you can only find that the next town over has a ring of +5str.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    The Crowfall team hired some hot local actress or something to do a bunch of marketing videos. It ended up being hilarious and distracting because it turns out a bunch of nerds would rather perv out on a girl than a bunch of old nerds trying to sell hopium. The parallel Vitality brought up to...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    That things are much better now than they were before. Back when some 5% of the playerbase was female it was annoying when a community could get derailed by a woman showing up, especially when she played her cards. Now nobody gives a shit if you're a woman because you're one of 10 women in a...

    Yeah, but when I played Listing and finding items was sort of the easy part.. The hardest part was after that and having to message people, arrange a time to meet, meeting up, haggling a price (This is where the obfuscation of value due to the goofy currency system was a pain. The window of what...

    Camelot Unchained MMO

    I don't even know what the herd is doing really. My guild (PRX) is super pumped for this game, so I'm just assuming that most old-school PvPers are too. I know very little about this game. That was literally the first time I've seen gameplay of it. And all I am saying is that most of the time...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    I thought the same thing. He's always had those characteristic pauses but man, it's like he's mentally exhausted. How many presidents have we had in the last 50 years that were just falling apart at the end of their terms?

    Camelot Unchained MMO

    I don't want to be a 'knees too sharp' guy, but I feel like they shouldn't be showing off the game in that state. It's too raw and makes me feel like that's about as good as it's going to get.

    I wouldn't mind playing PoE again if they had a merchant system. Or just changed it so I didn't have to trade bullshit to make maps. I just wanted to play the game, not play Auction Hero 4000.

    You two better step it up. The last three pages sucked because you two shit in this thread. Make your points and move on. If you feel the need to reiterate everything its because you have no confidence in your previous statements.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I think Blackwulf has a pretty hold on the situation. But sometimes when people are asked, "Why do you want the ships badly enough? Why don't you earn them ingame?" the mental gymnastics they do to justify the value of the ships while also devaluing them so it's not p2w are incredible. And...

    I don't have a good grasp of the law, but isn't passing a law saying, "It's legal for businesses to do this." being less intrusive by default? Isn't the law there to reduce the scope of government?

    Mount & Blade - A Clash of Kings 2.0 Releasing March 28th!

    PoP is a great mod, my second favorite of all time. The last version got a little fucky though with giving players the ability to gear out their own knighthood. If you can earn some money, get lucky with the drops off NPC bosses and wait enough you can turn your custom troops into demi-gods...

    Better Call Saul

    That's true, but I don't think Jimmy would've just come up with that off the cuff like Saul did. Jimmy might be complicit with the death of someone like that, but not so easily and not without great heart ache. Did BB ever go into detail who Saul was talking about in that video? Also it's...

    For those who haven't played it, PoE used a resource-barter type of system. There's a handful of materials which are used to randomly upgrade your gear/character as well as randomly create portal scrolls called 'maps' that spawn resource-rich and difficult areas that are the end-game. The...

    I think Chuck is enticed by more than just the money or the case. I think he's also motivated by the fact that he's feeling better and has been feeling better since he was tazed. The case just came at an opportune time for him and helped accelerate this process to the point that he realized the...
