If you work in tech and don't hate everything about the products you work on, you're weird.


Right, that's my point. If you offer bottom of the barrel pay, the only people who're going to accept the offer are shitty, and the only people who stay there are crap pay are people who think they can't function elsewhere.

My last place of employment was filled with bottom-feeders who knew they were too broken to work at a company that wasn't a trashfire.

So... you worked at one of these companies you're talking about. Interesting.

Supply and Demand - If retard faggots are willing to work for dogshit pay and live out of their fucking cars in the Blizzard parking lot. Is that Blizzards fault or the fault of literal fucking dipshit retards begging to be used and abused?

Take personal fucking responsibility, if you are a pathetic excuse for a human with no integrity for yourself then why should the person hiring you have any respect for you either.

Having fun on D2R?

For the next embarassment, the first boss of the new FF14 raid is The Gaoler in a Maw/Revendreth like zone:


It's honestly all a lot better designed art-wise than the WoW version.

It's funny how all these themes are lining up and how crappy the WoW versions are.

Eh I dunno. That dudes proportions are all out of whack. His head is tiny.

True, it's not a 30ft tall perfect proportioned naked bald guy with giant nipples.

Hey I'm just saying that it's a 6/10 boss design compared to Zovaal's 2/10. The actual end boss of Endwalker is 11/10.

Yet no one mentions the Jazz Hands on his head like he's the dad alien from The Explorers

I can't tell from that drawing if they're hands, or tiny antlers that sorta look like hands.

Speaking of The Explorers, anyone watch that and think to themselves:

"Allllllright, a perfect 80s adventure movie that rivals The Goonies!" Then you get to the third act with the 'aliens', and wonder if the writer/director died and was replaced by a group of 5 year olds who ran out of ADHD meds. Awful.

Reminds me a lot of the Might and Magic storyline. 6? or 7?

Both had aliens I think. They did a great job with the lore and world, I grew up on those RPGs. My first 3D open world RPG experience that got me interested in what EQ was going to offer. Then the writers threw some OMG aliens exploration storyline in and actual laser guns in the final zone. I guess you could consider the laser guns an easter egg, but the zomg aliens thing was devs that didnt want to write a good conclusion. "nah fuck dragons, lets do aliens with a spaceship"

Interestingly enough those games are all on Steam somehow. I think Ubisoft bought the license but doesn't explain how they are on Steam.

The hands are from another character, note the tiny red mask on top too. It's related to the plot of the raid somehow, they kinda revealed why but not fully.

Again not saying it's an amazing design, it was a decent first wing of a raid. The previous raid Eden is the best I've ever played though.

Just that I was having fun doing the boss and I notice it cast a spell called something like "Chains of the Gaoler", then I notice the chains on the boss design, the maw like cages all around and something like Castle Nathria in the distance. And I think to myself "This is so much better than WoW's version".

There's also a bunch of dialogue before and between bosses which means that I have much more knowledge about the operation of the prison, the backstories of several new jailer characters introduced and the mystery plot of the raid than I got from the entirety of Shadowlands about The Jailer and his motivatons.

This is all for the first boss of a raid. The actual end boss of the expansion got two full zones, a dungeon and a raid boss where you follow them fairly closely to explore their origin and motivation.

He rite

Icy veins has FF guides now. I think the worst part of that game aside from all the anime shit is that there is no class customization. No skill tree or options at all. I’m at an absolute loss as to why it’s gotten so popular lately. Weird.
