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

    My project manager got the axe because he ”wasn’t a doer” and guess what? I’m now managing 4 additional projects. I am not really a project manager. Had to change to the $200/mo Claude plan to keep up with everything.

    Ashes of Creation

    Just a note on this - Ultima Online had this from the beginning. The only dungeon-found gear that I ever had (and lost) was looted from someone's body. The guild had a bunch of crafting alts making weapons and armor, so there was a minimum amount of gear on hand at any time. Those who played a...

    Nioh 3

    I didn’t even make it past the intro. To me, this looks and feels like Nioh 1 on the PS4. I've already played that game.

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

    I was thinking about some kind of SRE consultancy where I’d offer some kind of quick turnaround plan to actually go to market with whatever AI slop they cooked up. And then professional services on top of that to get things where they need to be code wise. Want to team up?

    clank clank clank... A very high percentage of that video was clanking. And running down bossy hallways. The very first bit of gameplay they show were slow attacks and clanking parries. Didn't make a good impression on me. Hope I'm wrong and it's tremendous.

    I started a season character as I had this free on PSPlus... it doesnt appear that there are acts though - it just throws you in some town and you can go anywhere and do seemingly everything. Do I have to make a non season character to play the campaign?!

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    If nobody has top end video cards, you either optimize or lower the graphics quality and graphical features. Think about it. Most people here have good video cards. You paid good money for them. What if it bombs out this weekend and the replacement costs twice as much, or more? Are you going to...

    Fallout 76

    Bump... Been on a Fallout kick. Wrapped up FO4 that I stopped at some point. Modded NV to the gills and started playing that. Downloaded this on a whim on PS5 as I got it for free... shows what can be possible with a modern FO. When I created my character it let me choose a level 20 template, so...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Man if this inspires gaming companies to hire neckbeards who actually understand engines and how to optimize them... it could ultimately be a win for us. Won't be a quick win, but in the long run if the slop goes away and things perform as they could, that could be incredible. See the TES games...

    Where Winds Meet

    They do like their cutscenes. And menus. The longer cutscenes, when you skip, it gives you a summary output of what you will miss when you skip.

    Where Winds Meet

    Not really a patch to speak of - there is a time based gate that locks people at different level caps. It's at 6 right now, max level of 55, and 7 becomes available at 0 GMT today (I believe)

    Downloaded and fired this up yesterday. I haven't played since I poop socked it at release. I stopped before they even tracked WVW kills. Got tired of fighting hordes of invisible enemies. Remember that? I have zero expansion packs. I would guess some amount of expansion packs is required for...

    Arc Raiders

    Looks perfectly legit. He's just good. I think too many people playing these days missed the Quake area, where if you played one of the top guys you wouldn't lose 30-0 or 28-2. You lost 30 to -4.

    I personally feel that this is really good advice. I would think about this deeply. Maybe have a few AI tools also think about it deeply and get their opinion. You can be specific there; they already know everything about us anyhow.
