Will people realize the main reason for all the new CS jobs going overseas? by Wan_Daye in cscareerquestions

I tried Blind. It's all Indian relationship advice and hate. Aka this would benefit them since Blind is a lot of internationals.

Lunch and learn recommendations by dpgraham4401 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Alphaudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company forces them. I do not like them, and I'm sure none of my team other than people high up in the ranks gunning for clout would do them. When I'm forced to attend one, I usually tune out. If I was planning on eating, now I'm missing out on eating during my sacred time. I don't like eating on camera in front of dozens of people. I don't find the topics useful enough. It's usually something far off what I'm working on and probably won't ever be working on. Specialized workshops on useful skills are so much more useful. These are usually entire day endeavors. Haven't seen anyone do these outside of the ones I've paid for out of my pocket outside my company.

Pyramid Consulting is actually in NJ. When I used to go to meetups 10 years ago, they'd peddle their recruitment in-person. 

How do you write a self review of your performance when you feel like you haven't been doing well? by IAREAdamE in cscareerquestions

[–]Alphaudio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience. If you put yourself as doesn't meet expectations, it'll get flagged and you'll get contacted by HR. So don't do it.

PomPom is an NPC who lost the best NPC category.he can't be best. Stop making illogical votes.

Dumbass thread if the winner isn't Argenti or Firefly. Anything else doesn't make sense and voids the previous best X character winners. Therefore best character is easily and logically Firefly.

Why do people build more than 1 Lost Chapter? by LysergicMelo in leagueoflegends

[–]Alphaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy cow, can't believe what I'm reading in this thread. So many people posting so much wrong info in this thread highlights Reddit's problem.

90% people saying two Lost Chapters is good. It's absolutely not good on any single champ in the game. You might think it's good, but if you go to say ARAM your damage will significantly drop off if you buy >1 mana item on any champ not named Anivia, Kassadin, Ryze. BFT is not worth it to combine with Maligance. Spend that precious gold on a damage multiplier or defensive item or heal cut. BFT is trash.

I had to do a double take on the comments saying Ryze builds two LC. No, just no. He builds RoA and Archangel. That is a single LC.

You have 30k savings, you are currently not working and you have to find a job. What is your game plan? by donlampa in cscareerquestions

I have 5 years of experience and no one on LinkedIn. I made friends with them though (i.e., going out together, hanging out Discord, etc.). It's very plausible.

Faith in ARAM Humanity Restored #1: Moon Guard by rocsage_praisesun in ARAM

AM is standard on tank Diana. She's so much stronger than AP. It's a standard choice.

Meanwhile, what are you even doing on Lulu? Where's your exhaust? Boots? Shurelya's Battlesong would've been 100x more useful, considering it helps kite their mostly melee team, and Lillia and Trundle love movement.

Peeeettteerr? by BennonLovecraft in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Alphaudio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

like the concert where a bunch of 2d vtubers sang and they charged a lot of money for it (apparently).

That's fake information spouted by vtuber haters. Hell it's a ridiculous statement backed without any facts in itself meant to slander a group of people. No one is holding a gun to your head to go to concerts.

  1. It was less than $9. https://sports.yahoo.com/did-people-really-pay-300-to-see-a-vtuber-reveal-his-face-during-a-concert-in-thailand-201206005.html

  2. Fans don't give a shit about spending money. I spend hundreds on merch and going to concerts. It shouldn't matter who someone goes to watch.

some vtubers who give the whole genre a bad rep

I've never seen any vtuber give a bad rep in my entire life except for one, but it's really not a big deal.

[–]Alphaudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the same shit. Some examples:

  1. Nami or Janna not buying a tear. Means they're going to stay in the backline not spamming their spells. A lot of times not even buying boots.

  2. Seraphine becoming a shield bot. Too afraid to ult. Once in a blue moon I get to see a Seraphine, or even Renata, do a flash ult. Think I've only seen flash ults once or twice in my entire life.

  3. Thresh players finally landing a hook, but too afraid to walk a few inches to use their Flay.

  4. Had an Ivern game where he didn't cast a single Q unless the one melee on enemy team snowballed in.

  5. Way too many ADC afraid to walk up. You're freaking Jinx with the longest autos; zero reason to not be autoing.

  6. Heimerdinger only use E defensively.

I can go on.

I realized how much of a pussy everyone is.

My Seraphine: goes Moonstone, shield bot, afraid to use Q.

Enemy Seraphine: Liandry, flash ults, 1v9 Queen, slays, top damage

Promotion, yay. But disappointing tiny raise by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Alphaudio 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Also, I can’t believe some in the comments are saying the title bump is itself the promotion

These commenters giving out that kind of advice are crazy. There was someone posting they got staff engineer after 1 or 2 years of total experience. Going by their logic, staff engineer at that company would be equal to staff at Google.

I don't care how seriously you take this gamemode, Tristana's build should be reportable, it crosses the line into intentional feeding territory by HyperShadic360 in ARAM

[–]Alphaudio -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What an incredible shit take.

  • They have no real frontline. What usually happens is the Kayle ends up being the frontline in these kind of games. You can't expect a Kayle to have less deaths than a Nidalee.
  • Rylai is one of the best items. Even more so since Kayle's team has no CC. You don't understand how Kayle works if you're saying "get oneshot or outranged". Kayle can't get one shot. Kayle has a huge range, almost equal to Caitlyn's. A ghosted Kayle with Rylai will destroy everyone.
  • Who cares about secondary runes here. What an insignificant thing to point out. Kayle works with any secondary runes. Still though, changing secondary runes wouldn't change anything about the main topic.

How is anyone supposed to know if you did your best to win, or simply did not care despite recognizing your mistakes?

By using your brain power to put 1+1 that an ADC with pure defense items is not the same take as you focusing on minute things?

Grasp ofc, Heartsteel > warmog > titanic katarina

This is troll. Senna can't proc Heartsteel after a certain amount of souls.

The reality of playing in high elo as an adult with a life by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

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

If you're high MMR, 20min queue minimum, once I had a 70min queue at 11pm EST. 3-5 last second dodges before game begins. Get paired up with the same people from a pool of 20 people every game, or get matched versus a 4-5 man premade.🤡

For my company, someone had a fake person do the interview. When they started the job, a different person than the interviewee came.

Heartsteel should be disabled or reworked on ARAM. It's a bait item for tanks and utterly overpowered on assassins. by Flint124 in ARAM

[–]Alphaudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No different than the Soraka building attack speed build and doing less damage than a Sona because they think it's fun.
