Entering Act 3 I had to turn it up to Unfair. As long as I have my MC (noble officer who can't really deal damage), Argenta, and Pasqal I am almost certain to wreck any encounter. I've been rotating in a lot of the other companions lately. My ratings: Abelard is good only because you don't get...

Everyone here loves EQ. But I hope that after 25 years you can realize the game had stunning design issues that were only relatively frictionless because the internet and computer games were less accessible than they are today. You now have another 25 years of EQ optimization play on top of that...

The funny part is people thinking this wouldn't be the norm. Yet they're going to these extremes in beta. My sides!

It's a great company to work at. I very specifically chose to work here for the nice low employee count and startup vibes. They just had idiotic pajeets in a staff and senior role for the past 5 years while the org was developing. Overall this company has very few of them. I am going to figure...

Thankfully not. Three 20-something white guys.

On Friday I discovered another idiocy bomb from that guy, possibly the other staff eng in the org too. I work in data infrastructure and one of the components of most orgs these days is Kafka. Now, Kafka is not the only one but it was one of the first as far as I know. These messaging services...

Look at this absolute ace defense contractor.

Keep dreaming. lol. Not until the Boomers are dead and out of office permanently.

These are books apparently being made into a game... or the other way around IDK. But it all points to being a Mass Effect type game. The book is cool and the premise is interesting enough but I think it really fucks up the Progenitor Trope. People go to a new galaxy to live and because of time...

I believe that this whole mentality is a cover. If you have tribal knowledge of completely retarded spaghetti code the non-technical leadership thinks you're awesome for "working so hard." As they just see that the solution produces the output they claim they want. When none of it is necessary...

I didn't ask but I am like 99% certain he is. Thick accent and everything. The company has very few visa employees so he must have got in during the good times. Must have had to maintain that izzat.

I unlocked a new achievement. I got coworker to quit. I am 3 months into this job and one of my peers has been here for 4 years. All of his work has glaring stupid design flaws and manual workarounds. When I was in my first few weeks there I had some task that involved loading one of the many...

You still have to side with a Mindflayer and the whole game goes on warming you up to them so it makes some sense. With the Mindflayer in the Underdark and the Emperor. I have nothing against making a Mindflayer "friendly" but its still convoluted as they are like the Apex evil. I always liked...

Going to Avernus with Karlach is one of the best endings though. I hated pretty much everything about having someone become a Mindflayer. The Dead Three were cool villains by themselves but their motives were relatively retarded. When compared to BG1 and BG2 they fall really flat. Sarevok knew...

Ending of the game is one of it's weakest points IMO.

That one goes into the coulda shoulda woulda files for me I guess!

At least Cursor is a strong product for the space that it is in. Let Musk own it, whatever.

I understand that Cassia has been nerfed into the ground and is still strong but its really Pasqal that absolutely wrecks stuff. If you have him and the new Tech-Priest together there are a number of unique Manipulus (new companion) buffs and blessed steel augmentations that make you do like...

Bought these at HEB. They are okay but they have a wildly different character compared to normal chips. Tallow really overshadows the supposed burger flavor.

If you're into 40k I rate this game higher than Baldur's Gate 3 by a longshot. It explores so many intricacies of 40k lore that you are doing a disservice to yourself if you do not play it. This latest DLC is amazing especially if you love Necrons and the Adeptus Mechanicas. I did not buy the...

Only one of the companions I have found is capable of the negative warp effects. She too summoned a demon in my ship and I had my righteous gun toting Space Nun that I am secretly in love with put a bolt through her skull. She was an annoying character anyway so I don't miss her.

Damn I started this at an ideal time! I was just beginning Act 2. Eogunn is a more interesting Tech-Priest but they may have fucked up his unique abilities. He is obscenely strong. Officer archetype but his Motive Force powers are AOE by default and just fuck shit up. As much as I like Pasqal I...

I'll be deep diving this once I finish Rogue Trader.

Speaking of using them smarter I can been using Rules | Cursor Docs because these assholes explained that this was the correct way to use Cursor to the best and most efficient effect. However, clear project level rules for things inflates your contexts and thus your tokens to unmanageable...

This will be THE one and only problem in the coming years. Welcome to the Token Economy broski!

I upped the difficulty to the step under unfair. I am noticing that you very very rapidly accumulate power. You don't even need to abuse Cassia's still OP navigator powers or anything. Having like 80 levels and getting stat boosts, skills (sometimes 2), and stuff every single level just...

I use Etrade and Fidelity mostly. I didn't have any issues buying PLTR on day one with everyone here on either. Or I am just misremembering everything.

Not what I mean. I've been talking to the parents going there. All of them have the plan to do exactly that. I have neighbors making their kids do the same shit. It's performative. I have some other neighbors going to the local school and it just has less of that, obviously. Thankfully the...

The value you provide as a staff/principal engineer is rarely the code you write. It's understanding design patterns and various technologies. When does it make sense to do X instead of Y when both have the same immediate outcome but different longterm implications. You learn this kind of...

My kid is going to the BASIS charter school here in Austin this year. It is one of the highest rated in the state which is on its face good. But the more I go to these parent sessions the more the entire program disturbs me. The BASIS Charter School system is designed from the ground up to game...

I was judging by the face and that she is much smaller than everyone around her when walking through the cyberpunk train station.

This is already common in EQ TLPs with the Plane of Fear. Again, 30 years of game experience and metagaming means that Necromancers can solo in there with little risk then sit around selling loot rights to no drop class armor for Krono. This happens consistently. No reason to think it won't...

The aesthetic is pretty cool. They have the cyberpunk city down pat. Them making the girl uglier with the pixy hair and also looking like a 12 year old is going to make it a bit awkward staring at her ass in a g-string. But I guess Koreans gonna Korean.

Peak Classic MMO experience. People forget that the Classic Everquest style MMO has 30 years of metagaming and technological advancement ontop of it now.

Yeah, LMK what you think. I have this on my list to play after I get through a bit more backlog.

Gothic 1 Remake is out. I am looking forward to playing this when I have time. Need to get through Rogue Trader first.

If they are purposely targeting a WoW clone in the same style as WoW classic I think they have a reasonable chance at success. Their audience was never all that big. No reason to believe that they will be making something that isn't a distinct WoW derivative.

Might take a few years, but I am confident it will get back above $100k.
