I did exactly that lmao. And I’m not even having anti-AI stance, just the stuff they were telling was boring af and idk why didn’t they just wrap it in AI skill with instructions on how to write AI skills.
Company trainings are complete waste of time, always.

You were lucky knife got stuck in and nobody tried to pull it off before you got the medical attention. The biggest risk is not the pain, it’s loss of blood. Which happens to get worse when you pull it off.

- Comment on Would SpaceX continue to be immoral without Musk? 2 weeks ago:
The way I see it, Starlink is more a military tech than civilian. It is a huge gamechanger on the battlefield and in the drone technology - it is the cheapest and most reliable way to obtain high speed network connection on a middlestrike drone.
So what Starlink would do depends on the will of American government. And that depends on who’s in charge. With all the consequences.

They just give your card credentials to random people? Ffs I didn’t know they do it like that. It’s crazy that we just allow it.
I was previously using a separate card for them specifically, and way after the trip someone made an attempt to grab some ~200€ from my card. I’ve noticed instantly so I had a convo with bank and blocked.
Now it all makes sense. Fucking hell.
Seems you need a throwaway cards every time you want to use them then.

Wait how are they even able to enforce the fee?

I was looking for d2 experience but alas this game presented zero challenge for higher difficulty modes. Only 2 opponents are giving trouble - those gods, and mostly cause they heal themselves faster than I damage.
Kind of sad given how d2 challenges you from nightmare right away.

- Comment on Bethesda roadmap: more Fallout is coming, Starfield support continues, but Elder Scrolls VI is the main priority 1 month ago:
I used to play this game a whole fucking lot, like around 10 characters that are level capped, did pvp, some endgame pve etc. Did the vids about weird bg pvp builds even.
I can’t say the game is shit, cause honestly, the core mechanics wise it’s good.
But.
A lot of buts.
The more I was playing it, the more I was noticing how little shit the devs give. And when I say devs I don’t mean programmers. The whole team that magages and supports the game is atrocious. Most likely there aren’t even many of them there, so the project just funnels the resources elsewhere.
Like, back back in the days, they created Cyrodiil - a huge open space PvP with castles, sieges and shit. It is supposed to be played with lots of players at the same time. The mere size of it and mechanics highly suggest that.
Yet, the engine they have doesn’t allow them to. Since the start of the game they’ve moved all the computations to the backend, which made severe lags when the sides get around 50v50v50 online. Unplayable amount of lag.
Yet, motherfuckers have great performance during the pvp events, which drives even more players (pvers) into pvp due to rewards. Cause you know, if you just put a better hardware into play, there are no issues.
And I remember how they were banning people who were asking about pvp performance community managers on the stream, angrily saying that “they are working on it”, and that it would be there soon.
Yet, when I’ve dropped the game and came back like 3 years later, they just restricted cyro to 30v30v30 or something like this to reduce the lag. There were no core changes ofc.
They treat balance like something that can be fixed without any haste in like 3-6 month timeframe. And I mean there were 4 months of a set that was bugged and dealt twice the damage it should’ve by tooltip, it was everywhere. Then when they nerf things, it’s to the fucking floor, straight into the garbage bin.
And also they randomly rework shit all the time. Like change the numbers on everything across the board cause they ran some spreadsheet math. Or unite weapon and spell damage stats to allow hybrid builds (now all builds are hybrid cause why not). This ruins builds as well as ruining balance, and not always result in a better gameplay.
And yeah also, they don’t listen to any feedback. Even from their beta server. Cause by the time they put it there, they are on the schedule to release it to prod in several weeks and they only do the bugfixes.
So, idk, yeah, they make some new maps, new quests, new ways to grind, but this is basically a lifeline.

Tbf promoting from within isn’t always a silver bullet. Especially when it comes dev -> manager pipeline, some people are just good at what they do but shitty as managers.

Mainly Voyager app. Checked the piefed app, looks like it groups together and you need to long press over a vote to see distribution. Well, yeah, that’s worse.

- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 2 months ago:
On hard difficulty, it feels like soulslike / tes mixup. The combat is dynamic and most enemies of your level would hit hard, but blocks, dodges and dashes are there.
But on the other hand, more things can be improved with gear and level to absurd proportions, like improve iframes on dodge or extend parry window to like more than half a sec.

How is Gothic remake mechanically? Like, are the controls modernized too? What about difficulty, did it drop?

- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 3 months ago:
MMOs today vs MMOs in the early age of gaming - they differ a lot. Now they are shinier with a lot of gameplay features, but they lost the core feature - global player interaction & competition.
Most MMOs today just offer you some version of singleplayer RPG quests that you can do with your friends. You might see the other players but you can’t do any offensive actions, many dungeons are just generated for your team and cut from the rest of the playerbase. While that’s fun, that’s…
Not on the level of fighting other players who keep you out of a good leveling location fun. Not the same as 5 competing guilds go to the same worldboss and now they need to fight each other and worldboss fun. Or some local rivalries that end up in clans viciously fighting each other, and that can chain react into some alliances fighting each other. All while a single death slightly de-levels you.
And yes, I’m talking about Lineage 2. When players and social interactions are what actually writes the story of the world, there is some charm in that.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 3 months ago:
Don’t like the ruleset of it either. There are so many fouls cause it’s stupid and vague.
What do you mean it’s a foul to bodyblock the player who jumps with a ball? So mf can just jump forward on you and it’s YOUR responsibility to move out?
So what’s my goal as a defender, bodyblock (sometimes) and reach my hands to the ball in order to push the ball out or steal it… While reaching those same hands out to block the player movement is foul? You do understand that it’s the same move right? Same hands in the same 3d fucking world?
