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

    Don't feel to bad. Our Systems team forgot to renew the one SSL cert that is used by both our VPN system and our radius servers, so core wireless and VPN connectivity was down for the entire company for half the day (and I am the sole senior resource who interfaces with our service desk and the...

    Yeah it was definitely jarring how the prison was the one place that guard rails seem to exist in the Empire.

    The show does sound great. I don't have ceiling speakers, but I do have a 9.2 setup 200w per channel setup and the audio in this is comparable to Tron 2 or Bladerunner 2049. The music choices remind me of the original Logans Run movie and a little bit of Blakes 7. Very retro sci-fi dystopia...

    Andor

    Its too fucking slow and boring. How many fucking episodes was in Mon Mothma bleeding out her vagoo and Andor in (the most Rube Goldberg designed) jail? Four episodes could have been condensed down there to one so maybe we see the snippets of the actual decent shit, like Luther doing his thing...

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

    This. Once you have a resume that demonstrates you know your shit and produce, you can get in and coast just about anywhere if you want to. Thats also how shit like multi-gigging became possible, because work output expectations are so low that you can literally hold three jobs and still have...

    Since a bunch of former MBA types tried to break into the field. See also middle managers acting like they know agile and just doing waterfall instead, while using agile buzzwords.

    AssHat of the year, 2022 version!

    @Chris since Ossoi is not an option. No one brings the asshat game like a cucked out retarded limey. @Bodhy is the darkhorse newcomer that checks all the boxes of true asshattery. @fanaskin gets a nomination from me just for repeatedly choosing odd hills to die on and sperg out. @Vanessa...

    The Mandalorian

    I guess if you are willing to sit through a movie as bad as Haywire to win an argument, you can have the W. You clearly want it more.

    Black Adam (2021)

    There is the fact that Captain Marvel got them caught doing all sorts of this kind of bullshit and they need to at least make it look believable. That was before Marvel shit the bed last phase with literally everything except Werewolf by Night and No Way Home (which they have to deal with Sony...

    Black Adam (2021)

    This is about Disney essentially owning the RT critics and trying to kill any DC shit in the crib. Marvel is having huge issues right now. They are vulnerable. So the Mouse is yanking the same levers is does to get critic ratings up on BP and Captain Marvel to try and close any window of...

    Advice for someone failing college?

    This. Anyone who had to do a run in Fast Food in their life knows how much that shit motivates you to not suck at life. Plus, just about any retard can get into a call center IT role. Those idiots just follow a flowchart script most of the time for larger companies. On the other hand, if he...

    The Orville

    Didn't know he was banging ensign angry lesbian, but I believe her arc was written as a self contained arc for the season. E.G. They planned from the outset for her to die in the way she did. The security chick he def was shtupping and she was apparently kind of batshit on top of it, but I...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Barbie Dress Up dance game had a story only a fan of WB TV could get into. Plus once you had two dark knights and an alchemist, you could faceroll your way through the entire game.

    Final Fantasy 16

    I stopped after 13, but had played every prior entry in the series multiple times. Tactics is a masterpiece but not really part of this genre. My tastes differ from most, but I think that FF4 and FF6 were pinnacles of the series. Good story, mechanics, and characters. I enjoyed 12 a lot, in...

    Andor

    The show is good in a vacuum, but its just too fucking slow to find a broad audience. I mean, last episode can literally be boiled down to Space Jew no one cares about gets desk job, Main character goes to jail for jay walking, and competant Imperial security chief gets promotion. The Mon...

    Hellraiser

    Shudder is a good steaming service if you want to go down the budget movie horror rabbit hole. Lots of shit on the channel, but there are some really good low budget movies hidden in their lineup as well.

    Hottest Actress Bracket Fight

    If you guys are going to do this, you really need to compare the older actresses in their prime. Like Selma Hyak is hot even now, but in her prime she was on a whole other level, as one example. Same deal for a lot of the 70s and 80s bombshells.

    Smartphones

    My Moto Phone is still getting updates and working great after six years at this point. So glad when I went the Moto-Android route. Phones last me six years on average and run well the entire time. I basically only upgrade once they stop supporting the patches. If I upgrade my current one...

    Board Games

    The games you listed are good, but very long and fairly complex. War of the Ring is an all day affair and Star Wars Rebellion is a similar commitment. See Horus Heresy, Eclipse, and Twilight Imperium for similar experiences. Good licensed theme games that are not too crunchy and can be played...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I do like that they are making scaling in PVP seperate from PVE on things and toning down bleed (and rot to a lesser extent) in general. Not sure I like the DW status scaling being nerfed, because you already make some pretty big tradeoffs (at least in PvE) by power stancing. Sorcery seems to...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Patches has always been the master turtle in each game. My guess is either Dungeater or the phantom that drops Rivers of Blood. The guy you kill to get the Tiche ashes will probably be high in the running too.

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Even if all you do is shoot shit from horseback, its worth it because the mount is going to have better defensive stats and mobility, not to mention speed, than any character on foot who is not a minmaxed melee build. And as much as it pains me to say this, Dragon Disciple should probably be...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    I seem to remember more of the elemental races and Yaun Ti being options in the last one, plus more elven sub races? I could be wrong. As for being OP, I am in the sweet spot where I blow through trash using RTWP but have to buff and turn base on major bosses, which is where I have the most...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Chugging through this atm on console. First impression is that there is a lot missing, option wise, from the last game in terms of races and some of the class options. Mythic character shit gets out of control really fast, though. I have to playthoughts going side by side (one evil one good)...

    Andor

    Ignoring them hammering the shit out of rich people bad, the only beef I have with the show is its too slow. If the dialog were more fleshed out or they were demonstrating things a bit more visually, it would be fine. The scenes with the Imperial insider guy, for example, were perfect. The...

    New World

    XP was never the issue. Wife and I spent exactly two months playing this and power grinded all the way to 60, leveling crafting along the way, with zero issue. The problem is once you are there that the gear grind is super heinous and there just was not much to do. Granted, we are PvE people...

    God of War: Ragnarok

    The valkyrie fights were rage inducing at max difficulty, for sure. I think I spent almost two full days beating the last two. The gear farm in the poison zone, whatever the fuck that one was called, was super fucking annoying too. Valk queen was the only fight I felt was unfair because she...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    9ers Offense is middle of the pack, which is actually fine given their defense. Lots of teams have scored more, even the Lions. SF know the Rams (and most of their own division frankly) but I expect them to struggle with the Fins, Bucs (assuming Brady is not washed up), and the couple of other...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Stafford has a history of tunnel vision on the one guy he likes going back to Megatron up through Golden Taint and beyond. Kupp is just the latest in that tradition. It is his biggest flaw as a QB. That said, no one can have success behind that O Line and the Defense seems way less on top of...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Not sure what to say. I mean, special teams cost them games last year and the Steelers game this year already. This is also the view of the Bengals own press. And as someone who has watched their team miss at least two Superbowl trips due to special teams miscues, I am skeptical of any team...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    I have a hard time taking any team that loses to the Cowboys seriously as a contender. Its really as simple as that. Also, the Bengals Special Teams are really shitty and trust me as a Packer fan I know how badly that can bite a team in the ass.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Yeah Brady clearly is not the same QB anymore without Gronk as a safety blanket. He also got away with being old before now because his line used to be better. Rodgers is just having his usual bad year after two good years (seriously its a pattern with him) where he reverts and holds the ball...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Not consistently so, no. Both the Deadskins and Eagles put up nearly 30 on them. Their other games were against a beat up Chargers team and shutting out Matt Ryan, so hard to tell at this point. But more to the point, I don't think their main defensive scheme is ideal against a team like the...
