Yea annoying hitboxes and a lot of move past you attacks where you gotta go chase after him or he does the stupid charge which doesn’t stop right after it hits you and can hit you twice if you’re near a wall or hit you after the roll i-frames expire. Overall fairly easy moves to learn the dodge patterns, although the gravity stuff can be extra annoying.

Just finished last boss of erdtree. That one needs some serious tuning- some of the moves are far too powerful and annoying. Unsure if I want to roll another character since it’s been so long since I played through the game. Spent some amount of hours in coop helping others after beating it since I don’t really have another game on deck right now. Missed out on a fair deal of DLC quests and storylines because I didn’t read everything before my first run through, I could reboot a save pre-DLC and respec into something completely different and then play through it instead of a fresh character I guess.

Investing a bunch of time into Erdtree. I think some of the bosses probably need a bit of tweaking, in particular Rellana seems to be a spot where lots of folks are struggling. I wonder if someone will figure out the Scaudtree fragment mitigation/dmg boost, but there’s definitely a lack of pre-Rellana fragments or just a general struggle with this boss based on how quickly you can get summoned and how quickly people seem to just straight up die when fighting this boss lmao. Took a lot of tries to down him the first time myself but I also haven’t touched this game since release and I played through it pretty quick.

If you haven’t looked into used office furniture stores near you, I would highly suggest it. Depending on where you live you could get anywhere from 40 to 80% off, and big name $1k retail chairs are built to last 10+ years and are often lightly refurbished at these stores (and they usually can order parts and do repairs in shop)

Our one rule here is to be nice. Calling someone a dumbass is not nice. Be better.

1984 was almost correct, its not the government spying on you, its corporations (which run the government)

Fantastic article highlighting the issue. Thanks!

This really does not surprise me one bit. But also, nobody using these tools really cares. It reduces the amount of applications they need to review, which is often all they care about. Can’t wait for the inevitable company to pop up which will do the AI equivalent of SEO stacking your resume so you can get a job.

Also, perhaps more importantly, this is just going to undo fifty years of antiracism and antisexism work. The biggest problem with AI is that it’s trained on a bigoted system and when it’s used to gatekeep said system, it just creates additional inequality.

Stop arguing about what slurs are okay to use. The only rule around here is to be nice. If someone asks you to not use a word because it hurts them, the nice thing to do is to listen.

Wow, what a constructive and useful comment. Thank you for contributing 💜💜

Yup! I immediately sent this link to anyone who’s had to deal with the “throw a chatbot at it” management response

Often times they are laid off, with a generous multimillion severance package

Insulting people isn’t nice. The only rule on this understand is to be(e) nice. This is not appropriate behavior for our instance. You didn’t need to insult someone to make your point. I’m giving you a 7 day ban to think things over.

I don’t think it’s a necessity, but I’m a scientist and I tend to be a bit nitpicky about word choice. In the sciences we’re taught to use the right language for the right situation. If something isn’t an absolute, we soften language. There’s a big difference between “simply ignore them” and “you can generally ignore these” or “in most cases these are unenforceable” and that distinction is important. Simplifying knowledge is wonderful, but when and where we simplify is important and when stakes are high, it’s better to side with caution.

Yes, I’m aware. If people are able to create business around this, it’s clearly an area where litigation can happen and happens enough that, well, someone can sustain a business. Whether something is legal or not does not mean that every judge and every lawyer will agree and that people can’t bully others around with their finances. Large companies typically have a lot more finances and leeway to do this kind of bullying to individuals and that’s where this kind of nuance is important (and frankly out of scope of my own expertise).

This is an online forum where I have no idea whether you are an expert in law or not. I also don’t know whether the law you’re referencing would be the same for where I live (same state? same country?). Furthermore, there are entire legal firms which exist to help defend and prosecute in this space, indicating that it is not as clear cut as you make it. It took very little time to find lists online which explain whether non-competes are enforceable, by state, and some broad guidelines on when and where it can be enforced.

There are many reasons why it is not ‘actually very simple’ and claiming that it is online while ignoring these realities might cause others real harm. It feels casually dismissive to folks who don’t have the legal background to assess this information and it took very little time to find holes in what you claimed. Please do not go on the internet and offer advice in areas you’re not an expert in and don’t minimize the severity of fields in which incorrect information can cause serious harm to individuals.

I really doubt this is behind the push. Tech that wants people in the office in silicon valley already forced everyone back to the office.

The sinister part about these non-competes and NDAs is that it requires you to either know the law in your country at a level well above that of a layperson, or be willing to take a risk that you do get sued into oblivion to be willing to take the risk of violating it. Companies should be held liable for creating unenforceable non-competes as it can cause serious harm to individuals.

Very approachable article for people who don’t have experience with the fediverse. Thanks!

It appears to have been lazy reporting. Didn’t happen
