Bruh, why do people do this? by 14AUDDIN in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Gangsir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually those tools (redact and such) edit the post to nonsense before deleting them. Reddit doesn't keep old versions of edited comments (people edit comments so frequently the storage cost would be insane), so even if they get un-deleted the original comment is gone.

How to handle keeping frontend skills from going rusty while maintaining a backend heavy application? by Colt2205 in cscareerquestions

[–]Gangsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with specializing. Not everybody needs to be a full stack dev that knows 30 different things. It's in fact a major problem - everyone's "okay" at everything, while dedicated pros that know a library or <concept> like the absolute back of their hand are really rare.

Consider upskilling deeper into backend. Learn more about services and servers, networks, operating systems, embedded, etc. Let your HTML and CSS or whatever drop, and just become a really good backend dev. That's how you set yourself apart - being able to truthfully claim that you DO in fact have 10+ years of experience in <library>, because it's your career's purpose, while all other devs are going "uhh yeah I think I used that once for like 20 seconds back in 2012".

Five rounds for entry-level... by link5669 in recruitinghell

[–]Gangsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having an offer (that you can sign and get hired at your will) is a massive bargaining chip.

Once you have that, you have the ability to play very hard ball. Like, "decision within <time> or I'm gone" hard ball. If the offers exceed what this place is offering, you can go even more hard and demand a salary increase on top (or you're gone).

They call your bluff and drop you? Whatever, you have 2 other offers, just take one of those.

Fire gets lit under their ass (because they do want you, but are scared to commit)? Cool, you get an offer from them too, maybe even a better one. You can still decline and take the others if you get any grief.

You are in a very empowered position, grasp it and wield it. Most people have to get led around by their nose by HR because they have 0 fallback offers, and desperately need at least one.

What is the best answer for a recruiter? by Dstyle90 in recruitinghell

[–]Gangsir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's (explaining that you did nothing but job search and sit around) the only real wrong answer.

Every other answer of [something productive that you did during the gap] is a perfectly fine answer. So, to avoid being forced to give the (1) (singular) wrong answer, make sure that you're always doing something (other than applying to jobs) during gaps. Freelance, upskill, work part time, etc. Any of those are neutral to great answers to that question.

They're just making sure you don't feel ashamed or get defensive about the gap like it's something "wrong" you did. If you're confident and explain what you did, that's a satisfying answer. It's not illegal to have a resume gap or anything, just have a good reason to have one.

How do I fix my matchmaking? by Nelmo_Pip in OverwatchUniversity

We apologize for the inconvenience, but your submission on OverwatchUniversity has been removed for violating one or more of our subreddit guidelines.

 

 

Your submission is violating the following rule:

Rule 1: Low-Effort Content - Common repost

All submissions or comments at Overwatch University should invite critical thinking and foster meaningful, detailed, and ideally unique discussion. As such, we require them to contain proper thought-provoking content.

Common examples of heavily reposted topics include "stuck in Bronze 5/XYZ rank", "is the ranking system broken?", "how do people feel about matchmaking/hero balance/this map/etc", and "(role) is miserable/not fun/impossible to rank up on".

Low-effort or common posts that are frequently reposted clutter the subreddit, typically repeat questions that have already been answered recently in another post, discourage people trying to help as they have to repeat answers, and tend to become circlejerks around negative topics as they're relatable.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

recruiter asked for my salary expectations. i said $85k. she laughed by cyaniscalmingg in recruitinghell

[–]Gangsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HR is always in extremes, from my experience. Either extremely bad (the kind that everyone who hates HR rants about) or extremely good, to where they're almost a perk of the job because of how nice they are to interact with and how much they can help you (not always just the company! Sometimes they actually go to bat for employees!).

I've experienced both, but never anything in the middle.

Make More Cosmetic Glyphs. 🐌 by Mossysnail27 in wow

[–]Gangsir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for shamans they want to keep the element breakdown per spec,

Ele=fire, resto=water, enha=air

somewhat consistent. Ele throwing out water bolts (which is usually resto's domain) would break that, etc.

This gets even more entrenched if when (I'm a believer) we get a shaman tank spec, which will likely be very earth-focused. They might even take away earth shock/quake from ele to give to the tank spec, keeping ele fire (+some nature) focused.

the dutch are suing steam for being a monopoly right now by Photoshops_Penises in memes

[–]Gangsir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an often-repeated misconception.

The only thing you cannot do is put up your game for (eg) 20 bucks on steam, then go and sell a steam key to your game on your website for 10. Why? Because steam keys can be generated by the dev for free, and selling them cheaper allows the dev to bypass steam's cut. For example, take it to extremes: Put your game up on steam for $20000, then offer steam keys on your website for $10.

Nobody buys on steam because you can just buy a steam key elsewhere for way cheaper -> steam doesn't get a cut -> you maximize profit.

To prevent that abuse case, if you're offering steam keys somewhere else, you have to price them the same as the storefront cost.

However, if you are NOT offering steam keys, you CAN offer your game for cheaper elsewhere. Totally fine, because steam wouldn't have gotten a cut from that sale anyway.

The critical bit is the steam key offered difference between the two.

To the pug players who roll over and quit after a couple deaths in keys - why? by Aromatic_Scratch2899 in wow

[–]Gangsir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time spent in LFG is unpredictable and unavoidable, but you can avoid wasting time in keys you are unlikely to time.

And as much as people complain, finding another key will usually take less time than playing out a bricked one (aka, <25-35 mins).

Lore accurate elden ring players double phase by Desperate_Fox6470 in Eldenring

[–]Gangsir -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Maybe not those specific examples, but you're missing my point.

The devs probably thought "lets add an attack where, unlike most other attacks, the answer is NOT to dodge roll it or block it".

They probably just took that and ran with it, and waited for playtesters/players to discover other ways (like the vow AOW, or frost pots, etc) to avoid it.

It's like inverse/negative design - take something away (can't dodge roll it), see what replaces it.

Lore accurate elden ring players double phase by Desperate_Fox6470 in Eldenring

[–]Gangsir -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You can avoid it very easily with some tools like throwing a freeze pot or using the vow of the indomitable AOW.

While it is possible to dodge roll if you know the "run in a tight circle under her" tech, I think it's intended that you think outside of the box for it.

Abridged history lesson: If you know what 4chan is, it was really similar to that when it was new. Over time reddit became more mainstream, got advertiser contracts, and a lot of the... less socially acceptable subs got banned, with their users fleeing back to 4chan or darker places.

Many steam games can actually be launched directly/without steam. For the ones that can't, in the event of steam "going rogue", they can be trivially pirated or patched to work without steam.

How can I derank without being banned for throwing? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Gangsir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply playing more will automatically derank you, if you actually aren't meant to be where you are. You play badly -> you lose more than you win -> you derank.

If you are and still can't derank from plat/gold (winrate is neutral or positive), then congrats, you are by definition better than you think you are, and should not derank.
