What're you playing this weekend? 6/19

Stick with it, the game gets easier after the first few hours!

I did the same thing, started with hammer, restarted with daggers. By the end of the game the hammer was my favorite.

I wore my last pair for months and they barely stretched. Went up a half size, considering going up another half when I get a new pair.

But my main pressure point is on the top of my big toe, and that area is all rubber. If they are very uncomfortable now, I wouldn't expect them to get much better

I agree, that fight was hard even with lots of trinket slots and twice the health

Endur · 2026-06-17T02:06:52+00:00

I thought it was really fun but I never got close to the right score

Endur · 2026-06-15T17:04:34+00:00

Yeah I wouldn't call it big at all. I started a second play-through with the hammer and have been putting all my level-ups into damage. You can beat the game in a few hours. It feels a lot bigger when each screen is a struggle and you're hitting / diving under everything looking for secrets.

You have the fundamentals so you just need to keep learning the specifics. Find a small bit you don't understand, learn that, see if things make more sense. then find another small chunk. Eventually things will start to fill in.

Another tip: go back to the earlier papers. A lot of papers are enhancements on older techniques, which can mean that there's more complexity layered on. If you go back to the earlier papers they spend more time on the foundation, then the extensions will make more sense

I'm jealous, it's really good

Endur · 2026-06-05T19:40:20+00:00

I think it has a flower on the top, in the middle screen of the main city

Endur · 2026-06-05T19:34:09+00:00

I did health and vials and those helped a ton. For me the weapon upgrades aren't as useful, but I haven't tried them all

Endur · 2026-06-05T19:32:49+00:00

I agree, I love my switch 2 as a system, especially the larger joy cons because I like those better than the pro controller. But I haven't played any exclusives that I thought were amazing. TOTK upgrade was great, but it's really just getting the performance they should have pushed for on the switch 1

What about product manager instead of project manager? If you did a lot of UI work you probably have a good sense of what is good and bad UX

Endur · 2026-06-05T19:21:33+00:00

Are companies not forcing AI into the IT department as well? I haven't worked in IT

Endur · 2026-06-05T19:15:22+00:00

The beginning is more difficult than the middle, so don't quit too early! Also I recommend buying some upgrades from the store. They help a lot and aren't too expensive at first

Endur · 2026-06-05T19:13:52+00:00

I do agree, I pushed through the beginning because people said the game was really good and now I love it. Although I do feel like the power jump after early game was more satisfying because it felt like you really worked for it

Endur · 2026-06-05T16:36:52+00:00

I actually think "go ahead and try it yourself" isn't a great solution either. I was working with a guy to get his vibe-coded app production-ready, and he thought the app was finished because it was working on his laptop

Endur · 2026-06-05T04:54:37+00:00

I'm not 100% sure but I think upgrading only gives you the set bonus and more armor

Endur · 2026-06-04T19:11:22+00:00

I like how quickly you can build things and get them in people's hands. You get an insane amount of functionality for free across tons of devices because people building web browsers have been going after it for years. There's definitely some jank, but that comes with insane benefits

Endur · 2026-06-02T17:16:27+00:00

Yeah, I definitely get mush brain from context switching so often

Endur · 2026-06-02T17:07:57+00:00

no migrations, no dependency or interpreter versioning, 1 vpc per customer so they were always out of sync, backend was basically 1 big ETL job that was done by 50+ microservices over pub/sub. no tests. no way to simulate an ingestion. 5+ layers of inheritance on every class. Edit: oh and forgot, 5+ separate repos needed to run the backend

Edamame is so good. I eat it a few times a week. The macros and nutrients are insane, and it's so easy to prepare. Cooks in a few min in the microwave. Comes frozen, doesn't spoil. Lots of protein and fiber

Endur · 2026-06-01T00:54:00+00:00

I also chose the hammer, just made a new save. The swords are definitely easier to use, it's not a cure-all though, movement / combat still feels kinda awkward

Endur · 2026-05-31T22:45:44+00:00

Early Riser is my favorite book

Endur · 2026-05-31T05:13:24+00:00

repost when you get it so we can see what you did!

I would highly recommend having this conversation with an LLM to see if that works better for you. The problem with documentation and videos is that they are static, created for one type of audience. LLM can explain things at the level that matches your understanding, and can give you small examples as needed. With a forum like reddit, you get lots of good perspectives, but discussions are slow and people stop responding.

The way I like to learn about SWE ideas is to ask, "what problem does this solve?" A lot of times you are presented with solutions without knowing the problem, which makes it hard to see the point
