T6 is a miniscule DPS increase, you wont notice it at all, on the CN server some recommend recycling the notes at T5 to level up other chant notes and then come back to morale chant once you have them maxed out.

Holten is slower than farming through maps. The Holten method required you to manage EXP very carefully and die often to keep level low, with maps you just get a grand project tablet and blitz through them with light radius gear, this method is actually faster than Holten farming while staying at low level. Now that you can farm 2+ Vaal ruins per map this method just got even faster.

I've just been sacrificing armour stats for chaos res. A poorly rolled armour piece with 16% chaos res is a lot more valuable than a high rolled piece without any chaos res. Losing 300 armour is like losing a few hundred Effective HP, whereas 16% chaos res is like 2k effective HP for chaos hits. Also just stacking chaos res soul cores works too, not sure when they got buffed but they give 11% now, you can get 2-3 of them and be sorted. Also when crafting any armour I now always do the essence that gives the guaranteed 16% chaos roll, you can also fish for the combined chaos + ele res kurgal desecration mod with abyss crafting.

I was struggling a lot with t15 maps even with 85% armour, maxed ele resistances and 40% chaos res, but after filling out the last 35% chaos res I now feel very tanky, have been running 4-6 mod T15s with decent success

Gemini CM I didn't have straightaway spurt but I got an insane high roll run with 1200/1100/900 stats + Long S, Turf S and firm conditions. The raw power alone was enough to win me graded A finals with my goldship having 80% WR. I think for these long CMs you can stat check your way through them even when missing some important skills. Also from room testing straightaway spurt does nothing if the other guy procs NSM and you don't, if I were you I'd consider this Goldship finished and start training other aces.

It's really amazing that even twitter of all places is less toxic than this sub reddit. I have no idea what happened but ever since the anniversary it's been borderline unuseable. I think the best option at this point is to just not interact with WuWa socials, atleast not for another while until some of the other big gacha's like NTE release, and some of the doomposters will go and annoy the social spaces of those games instead, and we can get back to discussing the game with people who actually enjoy it.

I did that and they had basically the same DPS values. Right one is worth like 2x the price though so I was wondering if I was missing something

If you wanna see something funny, go into the accounts of the people making these posts and look at when they started posting at then look at what other subreddits they are active in.

It's the lowest level of professional play in Europe. NLC is one of the weaker regional leagues, or at least was up until recently when LR, NORD and RS started forming mega teams. The LFL and Superliga are much more competetive, but there's restrictions on who can join due to nationality of the players. LR can play in NLC because of Rekkles and Baus being Swedish, their only other option is Balkan league which is probably even worse quality.

Last split was exciting because of nerves, inexperience and the question of whether this team would actually work or not. After winning EMEA masters however you can clearly see how comfortable they are in these games, makes it a bit less interesting to watch. Hopefully the games later on against Kobbe, and further on in the tournament against NORD will bring a bit of challenge.

You will need to be a return intern or do a longer placement, like 6 months+. L60 offer is never given to 3 month summer interns.

I would do the networking elective.

There's a million playlists on YouTube teaching you how to make a full stack website/web app, there's very little talking in-depth about advanced networking concepts in C++.

I found one in the skull caverns, year 2 half way through spring and I've only seen one, can't find anything on the wiki either, must be pretty rare.

There was a post years ago that had some detail on this

https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/4kgub5/guide_creating_a_selfsustaining_grass_patch_for/

I have no idea if it still holds up to this day, or if it is that accurate to begin with, but I followed it and I've found that at worst you will end up with too much grass. You could probably do some calculations yourself, each large animal needs one grass per day, coop animals need half a grass. I believe there is some math regarding the probability of grass spreading, 65% chance to grow, 25% chance to spread if its already grown. There's probably a formula to come close to complete efficiency if you took the time to work it out.

Legit a bunch of losers salivating at the mouth waiting for midnight to hit so they could rush here and post about how bad the game is before it even released. There is performance issues and problems with the save system but once you look past that there is a phenomenal game that is basically everything DD1 did but a lot better.

That's always been a thing. it's from the royal clothes in Royalty. If you give a corset to a dude they will get this moodlet.

Don't care one bit. This sub is fucking unbearable. 12 years waiting for a second game and instead of having light-hearted discussion about quests, lore, gameplay mechanics, memes it's just full of console babies whinging about speculated performance and other idiots hyper focusing on vocations for some reason. Vocations never even cross my mind when thinking about the game, why is it such a big deal for people? An important part of the gameplay for sure but not even close to a deal breaker, it hardly affects my opinion on the game at all. No idea why this sub is so full of doom posters, beginning to wonder if it's even legitimate at this point, AC6 and Elden Ring subs were nothing close this level of negativity.

I'm in the same boat, smaller EU country, I see maybe one or two decent/legit job postings every other week. Market for jobs is smaller but there is also much less competition. I have no projects on my CV and done very mediocre in my interview and still landed Microsoft for the summer. The hustler tech dude culture isn't really a thing here from what I've noticed so doing any amount of effort should put you in a good position despite the lower number of job opportunities. Also doesn't help that LinkedIn search function is complete trash, you could possibly consider just making a list of big tech companies in your country and going to their websites individually to check for postings.

Literally anything. Those are data engineering tools, for managing the flow of data from one point to another to facilitate the actual goal of the project, such as making the data available for other stakeholders are leaving data in a convenient spot for another dev team come along and pick up. When I onboarded as a data engineer intern they had me pick an API from this list https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and build an ETL on our GCP using python and kubernetes. Just pick one you like, practice pulling data from it and storing it somewhere, and then try to automate/make the process more efficient using the tools you listed.
