    Oh I know I just usually don't have to manage an entirely aggroed gob camp when I do this.

    The items value makes it way harder to steal.

    WoW Vanilla+ Turtle WoW

    Ascension takes money too though and the overall Ascension wow project is bigger than Turtle ever was. I'd expect that Blizzard targets them eventually.

    Ran into the Bullette and its legendary ability is some bullshit. I am noticing that certain items are way more expensive than they are on Tactician. The Caustic band is like 2500 gold when its normally 300. Storm Sorcerer is really strong in terms of mobility though. I aggroed the entire goblin...

    I have never finished this game and I have going on 300 hours playing it lol. I've never even made it to Act 3. The more I play it, the more I am stunned with how many angles you can approach things. It is unbelievable.

    WoW Vanilla+ Turtle WoW

    If Blizzard can replicate half of what Turtle put out then that will be a step in the right direction for them. I'm happy I got a Warlock to 60 and did some MC on it. It was a good trip down memory lane. If Bliz does something better I'll consider it a few years down the line.

    Well my honor run ran into some issues! I went to do the Priestess Gut thing and drank the potion. I am an elf and totally forgot elves are immune to sleep which caused her to attack me and the entire front of the goblin camp attacked me. I did some shenanigans with storm sorcerer and the...

    Pickpocketing is a lot more fun when you cannot save scum.

    If you kill the merchant who sells it you get titanstring off of him? The Gloves of Thieving are worse than the Gloves with +2 slight of hand. Gloves of Thieving are the same as using Guidance just all the time.

    What is this exploit? I never heard of it. I kind of like thieving and risky pickpocketing... like a lot. Pickpocketing is super risky on honor mode which is why its even more fun!

    Investing General Discussion

    Well boys, I broke $4M with this last rally. I have not sold anything nor have I changed my investment strategy. I have just been continuously putting money in the market month over month, year over year. The last sale I had was a forced liquidation of my 1000 shares of X I bought at $6 when...

    I don't think anybody would have cared if he was a lying retard if he was actually entertaining. The problem is that he wasn't, his entire draw was that he was a game development insider with years of experience developing games for one of the biggest names in the industry. When that turned out...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Got a lamb roast from Costco at a good price point. $35 for like 5lbs of lamb roast. Boneless leg cut. Normally I never get lamb because my wife and kids don't really like lamb for whatever dumb reason. But I did and put it together the other day. It occurred to me that I have never smoked...

    No he was only QA. I watched that Turkey Tom video on him being a faggot and it went over his history.

    That one faggot pirate software was doing that. He was a Blizzard QA guy but would go on and on about QA being part of the dev team. Thus labeling himself a Blizzard game developer. He did this for the developer clout and to make himself look more intelligent. I would argue that most people in...

    I am being way more lax with my completionist tendencies. I try to do everything then get bored and not move on. So I will be skipping various extra bosses like the Grymforge Golem, Spider Matriarch, and so on. I need to knockout my queen Minthara then help the tieflings. I did some stuff I...

    I'll be getting my pirate on this weekend. If y'all are interested I will show you how to host this on AWS yourself. All of these server rental shops are just superimposed over the major cloud providers anyway.

    It means whatever you want it to mean. Traditionally a developer was someone who writes code. For anything. This became a prestigious title which led to title inflation and other teams being jelly about not having this title. A few decades of that went by now you have QA claiming to be...

    Hasn't been the case for me. I got the main things I had working quickly enough today but I need to figure out why Windrose won't play from Steam.

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    One thing I hate about Linux is that Fedora and others prompt you to update stuff but updating almost always breaks everything for awhile. So I am always loathe to do it. I updated today now I get to spend a few hours getting stuff that already worked... working again! Go linux!

    In another episode of drama from my old job. One of my coworkers was fired in addition to my manager leaving a week after I did. The dude had been underperforming for awhile despite being totally technically capable of the work. He had performed before. No idea what happened to his work ethic...

    COBOL itself isn't the issue. The problem is often the mainframe it runs on. GM had some when I worked there that ran their plants. The problem is that these mainframes don't run on some variant of Linux or something, they have custom operating systems that exist on dusty old manuals made by IBM...

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

    The question is really about narrow context. AI does extremely well when the codebase produces a mobile app or something that is just running on a phone. AI does poorly when it has to handle sprawling dependencies. Take my work for example. The data platform is more of a philosophy than it is...

    Arcane Archer is really strong. The banishment arrow is super helpful. I think I just need a few items to really make the class shine. Specifically that Titanstring bow. As I am running on Honor mode I am fighting like a total little bitch and keeping as much distance as possible. This is...

    IT workers are welcome to post in here. You're the one talking about totally irrelevant nonsense, as nobody is talking about the traditional IT space but you. Your frame of reference is completely invalid for the current discussion. Carry on though.

    Do you even read this thread? We don't really have any traditional IT workers posting in here. Not a single one. @Phazael is probably the closest to such a role but even that is a stretch. Traditional IT as in help desk on up to system admins and keeping the company functioning tech wise.

    Dude, what industry do you work in exactly? You don't have call centers as you may think of them when you are paying hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars for it. You call someone directly who is your point of contact. There are always chatbots for basic questions and things and those...

    Tech Sales, Customer Experience, and the like are the least likely to be replaced by AI what are you smoking? This is especially true in tech sales. When you sell a $1M+/year product/SAAS service to a customer you bet your ass they expect to have a real person on beck and call. Big accounts...

    I don't see AI doing that. As I have said before most companies have byzantine mazes of tech debt within their infrastructure. Systems of systems that are poorly understood by everyone working at the company. Many live services that are barely documented, if they are at all. Again following the...

    This creates a problem though. If you don't hire junior devs to learn how do you get the superstar devs you want? Everyone has to start somewhere.

    What? A single prompt in Cursor is like 20k tokens. Even when asking a question about anything. For $20 you will have like 10M tokens. Minimum.
