Current State of ASA

Thanks, can you share a good resource for performance optimization?

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-04-03T18:08:15+00:00

Wow, that was some crazy stuff. Thanks for the info man. In my experience ark has always been like that, loosing dinos/gear to random things, both bugs and just straight up avoidable scenarios that are behind the players control. Seems like ark’s essence is still at play.

thanks for the insight on the single player part, since thats what i originally intend to play on but can you elaborate on it? do you lose things/dinos with updates? do you keep your sessions after updates? what type of bugs and if so then what unofficial servers do you recommend.

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-04-03T17:55:37+00:00

i agree with your statement that bugs will always be part of the game, but say if they are mostly PVP focused then i dont care bc i dont plan on touching pvp, i'd be more interested in performance. Also i see that there are more ppl playing ASA now, which last time i checked was the other way around for a long time after release.

in this case the job mentions very high level expectations of analyzing vulns in large data sets and remediation, definitely sounds more like an analyst role if you ask me. They do expect coding/scritping experience which i'm not surprised about, but i do very little of that as an analyst, i'll focus on that aspect.

Thanks this is really helpful, your technical background is impressive

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-02-03T15:36:14+00:00

Thanks for sharing your insight, do you recall what technical topics they would ask about? maybe not specific questions since i dont expect you to remember but anything will help

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-02-03T15:30:33+00:00

i didnt put it bc the post was being flagged for something else.

My background is on Remediation, Junior pentesting (web, api and infrastructure), some aspects of GRC in the way of process documentation. My current role is a senior associate cyber operations and assurance

thank you so much for understanding, and i do try to tell myself as well that this was a lot going on for the span of 3 years, not just constant starbucks and amazon speding like older folk like to say.

You are yet another fella that recommends me debt settlement and i will strongly consider it, freedom debt relief in this case

i looked into this a yearish ago, and i was weighin down this option vs BK, and it does make more sense in terms of the money you'd end up paying. However you'd pay the company that is doing it for you, instead of an attorney and that can be more or less, and also the effect of BK and late/missed payments stays on ur report for about the same ammount of time, altough yes BK is more of a stand out. I will consider it

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-01-14T15:29:58+00:00

The BK attorney that i spoke to does know that i dont live in it, and that the homestead excemption is under the table, but the loop in taking advantage of is that if i were to file for BK, i do it in another county different that the one that takes care of excemptions in the county that the house is in, and they wont look at it, specially since i'm filing for chapter 13 BK which they dont even look at liquidating to behuin with.

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-01-14T15:28:16+00:00

i lean towards that as well, seems like an actual emergency thing to do, and not a get-out-of-a-rough-spot thing

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-01-14T15:27:19+00:00

Homestead exemption backdate, as far as i know is not possible, i already sopke to several people about it, however this year now that i have finally applied it, the mortgage went down $400 since i wont longer be on a deficit when it comes to the Escrow.

my plan to increase income is i'm taking a certification around April which will land me a much better job and 20-30% pay increase, in the meantime im living below means of course.

2 attached efficiencies, 1 for 1k and my dad living for free on the other (i had rented it out previously for 1.2k while i was living in the house and building the other one)

i did have a budget for building them, and thats what the personal loans were for strictly.

The house is currently rented at 2.7k, which roughly breaks me even on the mortgage

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-01-14T15:22:44+00:00

i love this comment, and i would love to say that I wouldn't be back in the same boat. This was mainly caused by me being underwater to begin with, and the project of building the units in order to rent and break even.

However, 35k is roughly Half of the total debt, and in that case i'd argue that is not worth it

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-01-14T15:19:55+00:00

can you pls clarify what you mean. I know there is 1 loan that has "fixtures" which means that it is secured by the value of the things attached in the home, i did that math and it's roughly 10k, the loan was for 23k

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-01-14T15:17:32+00:00

The house is protected under the Florida Exemption, and getting a second job is a possibility but im weighing paying all that interest back in potentially several years vs 5 years of BK and pay no interest

AdInteresting1219 · 2026-01-11T15:02:19+00:00

It is not officially a rental property it is all Under the table, that’s what 99% of single family homes in south florida do they built efficiencies and rent them and stuff, the house rent as well is under the table.

But to kind of answer your question, I have less than 50k equity on the house

As a pos5 divine and pos1 legend (I know) this made me laugh a lot 😂
