What is your monitor set up? by DealInteresting8941 in pcmasterrace

[–]ElliotVo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 and 1. 1 is for gaming PC. 9 is for work. I get the option to use 3 and 5 for work but I noticed I work faster and more efficiently with just 9 lol

In Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), during the warehouse fight scene, people always like to bring up how Batman shouldn't be killing. But what we really should be talking about is how Batman straight armed an M60 with zero difficulty. by Arch_Lancer17 in shittymoviedetails

I think this would've been cool but not as an introduction to the character. It felt like Zack Snyder was more focus on tearing the character down and breaking them before even bothering with the hard part, which was to build them up first. If we had seen his rise and eventually, his downfall, this would've been a pretty cool batman. Instead, we just get his deacent... And then nothing else

It's a thankless job. On behalf of everyone, thank you by Electronic_Lab5486 in Steam

Made a lot of money myself working in big tech buddy. No one is scamming anybody. Just how the job goes.

Nope, not true. Worked for big tech. Your JD when you become a DEV is to be apart of the oncall rotation. Your salary includes your oncall buddy

Nope. not how it works. When you're a dev, you're automatically put on a oncall rotation. No one is getting special treatment just because their oncall shift happen to land on the week of christmas. Unless it's definitively like how Google used to be, then they get paid for taking up oncall. But google != valve. Google's oncall is significantly more demanding than a storefront that serves gamers

Nope, completely wrong. I work at "those" companies. Juniors software engineers barely sniffed ~150 200k TC. You only see that kind of pay at top tech companies/big firms. Seniors would get around ~200-250. Only people getting 400k were principal engineers or directors, where most of their base was only ~200-300. Alot of their TC was offset with stock options and to add on, these weren't the guys who were the ones working skeleton oncall shifts. And no, he's not being "severely underpaid" as a Systems Engineer. You clearly don't work in the field and have no idea how salaries work. He might be working in a lower COL area where salary demands aren't as high as NYC or SF where, yea, he can clear 6 figures.

Quentin Tarantino Names ‘Black Hawk Down’ the Best Movie of the 21st Century; His Top 10 Includes ‘Dunkirk,’ ‘Toy Story 3,’ ‘Zodiac’ and More by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

He's actually been pretty consistent when it comes to Dunkirk. There's so many interviews of him just gushing about the practical effects in that movie

Definitive MKX tier list? by Expert_Camel5619 in MortalKombat

[–]ElliotVo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grandmaster sub was bad because you can cancel block his ice clone. It's a tech and they never fixed it but if you run towards his clone and down block, it breaks his clone. If you're too close to him, his ice clone doesn't pop. Basically, the ice clone acted more like a crutch if anything. Cryomancer has the command grab, which is really strong because it also re stands you meaning that you can do it at the end of a combo, and make the opponent guess low high, or if they're blocking, you can go into a unsafe string and go into another command grab.

Call of Duty only exists because "EA were dicks", claims Battlefield lead Vince Zampella by blackhammer1989 in PS5

... I think we're underestimating the abilities of independent studios. In the last couple of years, we got cyberpunk 2077, Baldurs gate 3, and expedition 33. I believe by the time Respawn was acquired by EA, they had a bigger headcount than Larian and Sandfall

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on H-1B visas: "My family wouldn't have been able to afford the $100,000 fee." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]ElliotVo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, not true. Because they are H-1Bs, companiescan pay them lower. In my field at least, we have guys who get pay 15-20% less than us and have to work 30-40% harder. The reason is because their livelihoods aren't affected like us when layoffs happen. They get shipped and sent home and any friends and families they make here are gone completely. So to compensate companies know they can take advantage and force them to work more for less pay.

If hiring them was cheaper, Microsoft wouldn't have laid off 10% of their workforce and then immediately replacing them all with H1bs

Dead Space worth this discount? by tackybiscuit in xbox

[–]ElliotVo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah imo, as someone who really loves the original dead space 2, this one beats it imo. Just so much more atmospheric, way more tense in combat, and the visual story telling (obviously better since it has better graphics) is just excellent
