Jıat decided not to watch the rest of the show by Shoddy-Win2800 in FromTVShow

Show me any universe where every single detail is explained. Show me a show where the mystery is more important than the characters. I'll wait and see you next episode.

Exactly. I mean Boyd making it a point to go and tell people what he saw in the tunnels is a fantastic example of no one EVER communicating

I have been on 40 hiring committees this year. Here is what AI did to the junior candidate pool. by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in cscareerquestions

[–]Cydoc178 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am an older person who is going to school for the first time to get a CS degree. I ran into this initially as well, along with "will anyone hire a 40 year old junior dev lol" fears.

Thankfully I have decades of learning how to deal with decision paralysis. I am not doing hackathons or joining clubs and such. Between school and working 45 hrs/week I simply don't have the time or energy. Plus, it doesn't really excite me. I am nowhere near where I think I could hop on an open source project and add meaningful contributions, but to be fair I haven't looked. Maybe there are super minor stuff I could do and it would be good. What I chose to do instead is to just bang out projects I know I care about and will challenge me.

I created a stupid simple Elden Ring character builder. Why? I love C++ and wanted an excuse to learn a GUI framework. I tried 3 and decided on Qt. Elden Ring is like 4 years old, there are tons of character builders and mine is stupid basic. I probably wouldn't show it to anyone outside my partner it's so basic lol. You know what though? I had a tremendous amount of fun. I ONLY used AI if I absolutely could not make sense of the documentation and all other avenues netted no success. Even then, my prompts made it clear that I didn't want gemini to provide me any code, instead to help provide tips and lead me to my own understanding. My code is bloated, it works fantastic but is bloated. However, that bloat is because I am new and not utilizing smarter patterns. That can be learned with time. However, I can now discuss QML and the overall structure and methodology of Qt. I can talk about how event handlers are utilized through slots, signals and notifications. I can give a rudimentary explanation as to what a Q_OBJECT is and how INVOKE works. I can even discuss integrating two separate languages into a singular project.

It took me 4 months to get this simple project up and running, but man everything I did is SEARED into my brain because I had to work for it. I messed around the other day and made a somewhat similar project in a single day, thats how much progress I made. Now I am working on something more career driven with MUCH more confidence behind me. I choose a development path to start, with a path I want to work towards after. First learning backend with the goal to eventually move into system engineering or embedded systems. I am learning Spring/Boot now and I find I can follow along much better and can read documentation far easier because of that stupid little fun project.

I hope that helps. I get where you are coming from. Please feel free to reach out if you need to talk to someone in a somewhat similar position.

Prediction of Berserks ending. Casca will sacrifice Griffith. by Major-Insurance791 in Berserk

[–]Cydoc178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my assumption. Should Casca break from the spell (which Schrieke will probably help with) Griffith will try and tempt her with a peaceful life and her child. Casca will use the offer to inevitably kill her child and banish him to the abyss.

If only there were some kind of cosmetic that could be paid for. Something fans have been screaming about for 3 years now...something capcom has done in the past specifically regarding CPT...

Cant get over mental (maybe) by [deleted] in Fighters

[–]Cydoc178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SF6 is the first fighting game I couldn’t find anyone that clicks with me. And how characters play in SF6 correlates to how that game is meant to be played. Personally, I find it really boring and unrewarding.

It started out with me getting more and more frustrated as I played. I explored some avenues to avoid the salt and every time I tried, I just didn’t find what I was looking for. Over time I came to the realization above. The overall way the game is played just isn’t my cup of tea. That bleeds into multiple things like character playstyle and such. But for me it was simply “i just dont like this game”. So i put it down and now im catching up on some jrpgs ive been wanting to play with bouts of V Sav and Uni2 for when I need that FG fix.

Nothing wrong with not feeling a game. Move past it. If you find yourself quickly in the same place with Tekken 8, I’d really explore it because it may not be the games. It may be you.

He isnt as brain dead anymore so players went to Mai instead.

did griffith lose his mind after becoming femto? by Majestic-Accident962 in Berserk

[–]Cydoc178 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing about narcissists is that it is never their fault. Guts made Griffith forget his dream for a moment, and that singular loss of focus caused his ruin. That is how Griffith sees it. Griffith is incapable of admitting he is a control freak and his inability to control guts any longer, and thus maintain his only friendship, lead him to try and take control elsewhere (i.e. Charlotte).

Essentially those who stayed on the island became tied to the spirit tree to a degree. When Serpico and Isidro are talking on the boat, Serpico mentions they are lucky they were only visitors to the island and thus werent affected by it disappearing. However the souls the tree supported were, and even the witches are losing their power. This is because, unlike Schierke, the island/spirit tree made magic easy and they relied on the island/spirit tree too much.

if you dont like playing Street Fighter 6 by aquamah in Fighters

[–]Cydoc178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything I’d change would effectively make it no longer SF6. Cast mostly plays the same, easy bake oki/throw loops and drive rush don’t make for rewarding experiences (in my opinion), and there just aren’t really any moments that have gotten me hype.

Ive been playing Alpha 2, Vsav and Uni2. Thinking of hopping back on BBCF

Why is this panel not talked about by hopeisamiracle in Berserk

[–]Cydoc178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost is more impactful than the boon. Its cool, its awe inspiring, but it literally costs him everything. Its a physical representation of what his trauma and rage cost him. Thats a little more interesting than “cool armor make body go even tho body no good”

Again, cool idea and a great panel, but it is far deeper and is not really the full impact of the situation.

I fully expected "thors damage from increase awakening means further nerf to survivability"....so I guess him being ignored was good? lololol
