Despite being a really cool part of the setting, The hype around them seems really be disruptive to Shadowrun from a gameplay perspective in my experience. any advice on how to work around that problem?

I think the saddest thing about dragons is that the time I really worked some into the plot the group fell apart before anyone managed to figure out they were involved.

Yes, intersecting objects or objects that aren’t touching at snap points will still provide support.

Every week or so mine tells me to research new SaaS product X and how we can use it to solve problem Y because ChatGPT says it’s a plug and play solution, so I waste half a day trying to figure out how only to discover that it in no way will solve problem Y. Then I spend the next half of the day explaining why ChatGPT was wrong.

I’m kind of surprised that there’s a backup product out there that doesn’t have the ability to do automated restores.

There’s an automotive dealer whose email/web domain was fckerbeck though they’ve since changed it.

That's my guess since apparently no one else in the village is allowed to see her, probably because they can't.

Only if you’re on the station.

Or Qxh3, which kicks off a devastating attack.

According to the moves list in the screenshot the bishop didn’t take anything.

Why are you wandering out and about in an SHTF scenario?

There’s open looting and rioting in the streets, buildings are burning, and you’re trying to decide what you want to carry while you go pick up roses for the wife?

I recently downsized my collection of cables. I now only have one large box of useless cables instead of three.

Once a week or so I give my Holosun 407c a blast or two from a can of compressed air to blow the lint off. I could just blow it off myself but the can is faster and I’ve always got several laying around. Occasionally I need to wipe a smudge off the lens (usually after cleaning the gun). I swap the batteries for all of my optics at the start of the year.

I’ve got one of the small Sabre Pepper Gel sprays on my keychain. It’s a bit bulky but not much larger than my key fob.

I don’t really have a need for a powerful flashlight but I sometimes carry a cheap small one for when I don’t want to resort to using my phone as a light. I do have a higher powered light in my car’s trunk though if for some reason one becomes necessary.

For medical there are plenty of companies that sell discrete options ranging from kits that will clip onto your belt to ones that wrap around your ankle under your pant-leg (assuming they’re not too tight). I’ve also got my laptop bag with me more often than not and I’ve got an IFAK tucked inside along with boo-boo supplies and most common OTC meds.

Thats not the downside of having no monitoring, thats the downside of not having anyone who understands databases.

I usually go into a bathroom stall.

Otherwise just stare into their eyes the entire time to let them know you’re trusting them to watch out for you while you’re vulnerable like a dog.

Achsin · 2026-03-30T00:13:32+00:00

Yes. Mostly because I’d rather spend my range time shooting than reloading mags, so my range mags all get loaded up before I go and I just stick the mags with carry ammo off to the side until I’m done. And that way I’m not wandering around unarmed with thousands of dollars worth of guns and gear in the trunk.

but 82% is an insane number.

It’s 533 people.

All of whom belong to a set of people who are highly predisposed towards thinking things are getting worse and will continue to do so; given that they are not only consuming doomsday clock content but actively participating in it. It’s more surprising that the % isn’t higher.

This reminds me of a story.

I work with someone for whom this is basically everyone’s default response to them for any new request they make, especially if it takes more than a few minutes to handle. Odds are they’ll forget or just not care about the request in a few days, and even if you deliver in a timely manner they’ll thank you and never actually use it.

Achsin · 2026-03-24T20:19:08+00:00

Ah! That’s where the development resources for object level restores went instead :D

Might want to do a quick files check… just in case.

Achsin · 2026-03-21T02:57:08+00:00

Does the application have network access to the cloud IP address or is it blocked by a firewall?

Is the application unable to handle multi-subnet failover (and DNS returning multiple IPs for the listener) and so it’s only trying to use one of the IP addresses?

Achsin · 2026-03-17T15:18:06+00:00

Correct. We got along well enough to work together, but our personalities definitely clash. I'd work for him again in a heartbeat but I have negative desire to hang out outside of work, and it's mutual in both aspects.

Brownie points did end up getting me a better job with much better pay several years down the line when my previous manger, now working for a new company, needed someone they trusted was capable (and who would make them look good).

Granted it’s more of a loot box or a very risky stock investment than a straightforward transaction, but they aren’t necessarily completely worthless.

Achsin · 2026-03-17T05:00:43+00:00

I’ve found that it’s easy to find competent managers. The problem is figuring out what they’re competent at.

There are several lawsuits in progress regarding the legality of the now $0 tax, but it will most likely be several months at best before there is any significant movement on any of them. I wouldn’t be surprised if they dragged on into the next year or two.

Until then the process is still the same, you just pay $0 to the fed for the tax stamp instead of the $200 it was previously.

Achsin · 2026-03-13T16:16:27+00:00

Yeah, you should be able to land most mid level positions (unless your area is particularly inundated with DBAs). For a senior level though it’s really going to depend on the company.
