This is a cool show but I hated the acid trip episode. That one was really not well done at all. IMO.

Really, you don't have to make a WoW clone but letting anyone bind in a tavern is a bread and butter design that is totally loyal to DND in every way. Letting all players gate to said tavern even every 12 RL hours is completely fine. You can go beyond that too. The scariest zones don't even have...

The item in question was only available to evil races and only ported you to The Overthere, an evil race stronghold. One that was also in Kunark and thus worth even less in later expansions. Making it a niche item in general and used only because melee had literally no other options. That you...

For real. Just having Scrolls of Town Portal or whatever be reasonably available for melee is completely fine. Literally anything other than melee having to bind in the furthest away locations and casters getting a free shortcut for their own convenience. You are punishing a player for class...

Melee not having Gate was already unnecessarily punishing. Y'all are nuts if you want to add more tedium in a social game. Like if you steal any two things from any MMO it should be gate for everyone and Ritual of Summoning. Spending an hour running somewhere to play with your friends was...

I guess these guys are going out on their own. They've gained a lot of experience in the structures necessary to maintain a WoW type game with a small audience. You would be 1000% correct to assume that they are, deliberately, making a WoW clone type game with various changes. If that is the...

Aeron. Best chair I have ever had.

I am going to take a small like $10k position on SpaceX. We'll see if I regret it in a few years.

After about 2 years of researching areas across the USA we've decided on buying a house in Laramie, Wyoming. We went on a recon vacation across the state seeing Casper, Sheridan, Laramie, Saratoga, and some smaller towns. Of all of those, Laramie has what we want. As someone who grew up in a...

I am pretty confident SpaceX will be a good long term hold. I intend to just throw down like $30k out the gate and sit on it for years. Is there a different opinion here someone can provide?

Realistically this would be just a cool factor thing. Mega nerds can at least dial their utility spells so they have a marginal advantage and autistic nerds who can muscle memory 30 spells have a huge one in PVP (which is gay but some people like it).

We are traveling and the rental place gave me a jeep wrangler. I realized I had never really been in one or driven one in my life. The closest thing would be a beat up 1974 international scout my dad had as a farm truck. I hate this car. Its cramped, wind blows through it with a hard top, and...

Yes, creating a system that provides a pathway for items to exit the game mechanically (disenchantment) is a recipe for utter disaster. You just created a magical sinkhole that allows players to destroy items for a benefit. This is even worse than a malicious player destroying items for fun just...

It amuses me that making a game this way and adding in a disenchanting/recycling type profession (which I always loved a lot thematically and gameplay wise) really fucks up the game economy. The old WoW devs were very forward thinking in that regard. You can't have a recycle system if stuff...

Can you elaborate?

I like keeping busy. I want to do something at least part time. Something that involves more getting out of the house rather than sitting at home. Not manual labor, I was not trying to communicate that I was even attempting at doing manual labor. Knowledge work is fine but something onsite and...

Expect more of this! https://www.rtk-ai.app/

This makes it hard to determine which is more badass.

God damn the Raphael track pumps.

Not sure I want to go full wrench and I understand that I sound insane. I love programming, I enjoy the complexity and problem solving as anyone in the field can relate to. In the past 20 years I have developed tax applications, healthcare data infrastructure, billing transaction systems...

I am not against it or anything but IDK where to start with much of this. All I got so far is to take the HVAC course at the community college just to familiarize myself with something.

Got through it. I appreciate that some sideplots finally progressed. Excellent quality Carl.

I wouldn't overthink it. I don't intend to enter this space until I am like 45. But I am planning out how I do that. It will be nice to be out of the house and onsite around the area doing stuff. A great change from the WFH/office life I have known my entire working career. It's a long way off...

Not sure what you are looking at but I don't see much of that kind of work in it. Access points for the control mechanisms aren't in impossible crawlspaces but external places like the roof. Side rooms that have no climate control and so on. I've been watching this guy's videos. A lot of it is...

I am beginning to sketch out my exit from the tech industry. As much as I love programming and problem solving I am nearing 20 years of it now. I just don't really think I want to do 20 more years of it. Be it as a management or some other tangental role. But I still love technology. Something...

How can you be 75 years old and act like this? What?

Yes I know you can knock her unconscious but most players wouldn't stumble on that naturally is all I am saying.

Yes, faggot ass places like Edward Jones won't let you sell anything without discussing it with the branch manager of your location directly. My mom is a dumbass when it comes to investing but inherited a large portfolio that's at EJ. Those guys straight rob you taking almost 2% of your gains...

I also don't really understand why the Resonance Stone exists. It isn't even really abusing an exploit but just holding the thing and using Shadow Blade (that any class can use with the ring if you find it or multiple classes can just summon it) or a few other weapons lets you blow up any...

Yeah, she is a really well done evil character with interesting complexity. She really reflects the Drow kind of evil. Shame they lock it behind the Goblin Camp because doing that locks you out of a lot of other quest lines and the evil side doesn't make up for it. So if you do that you need to...

I need to drop all of my mods sometime and do that. I've been playing on my macbook out of laziness which doesn't have the mod that lets you get achieves while running them. Oh well! I remain stunned at the amount of interactions in this game. In my current run I have Minthara but I knocked her...

That is changing too though. FEDRAMP projects requiring access to the Federal infrastructure are on a completely separate architecture. AWS/GCP/Azure have specific FEDRAMP offerings and many other companies do as well. Up until last year I had thought US citizens only could work on it. That is...

I have to commute 2x a week for the first time since 2020. Its like 45 mins each way, I don't mind the drive lately. Thankfully its all on the expressway and I don't have to actually get bogged down in traffic that much. It is nice to get out of the house, the 50k raise I got aside. I guess I...

When AI first came around I had a business guy using our Snowflake instance to do whatever. Long story but he leveraged AI to get a result that did indeed produce something. That guy left and his "solution" as a hodge podge of shit he did not understand but he sold it off to executive leadership...

We use Cursor. Right now I am designing AI Agent standards for the org to use as I've done it the most. Not to say that's a lot but my past year or two of doing this is a lot more than just about anyone in this company. Cursor has a CLI offering like Claude now but for me personally I have used...

I read about this. So if you appeal in Korea you are in Appeal Jail until that is processed. Which can take as long as it takes. So if he succeeds the appeal to reduce his sentence to 30 days and he was in the appeal process for a year and a half. Well tough shit bro you get released but you...
