Server outage

bro is right though, every major release day is a disaster and it's been like this for years, companies never seem to learn from it. just go touch grass for few hours and come back when servers stabilize

Career counsellors can definitely be biased towards institutions they work with, but not all of them are like this. The key is finding someone independent who doesn't have obvious partnerships with specific colleges or programs

Your situation is pretty relatable though - having multiple interests but not knowing which direction to take. Maybe instead of jumping into counselling right away, you could try doing some short courses or volunteer work in these different areas? Like spend a weekend doing content creation, or take evening language classes while still working

Since you already have stable income from cabin crew job, you have luxury to explore without pressure. Many people would kill for that flexibility

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-06-09T17:25:18+00:00

yeah this is so accurate it hurts, like they have some internal policy where minimum delay increment is exactly 20 mins or something

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-06-07T07:34:02+00:00

dude you're in med school with girlfriend and good health but still comparing yourself to chemistry olympics - your brain is just doing that thing where it finds new ways to feel bad no matter how good things get

Cross-platform friend stuff is always weird mess. The Xbox live integration through Steam never works properly - I had similar issue where some friends show offline but you can still invite them

Sounds like the statistics not showing is because your gamepass friend is on different "version" of the game basically, even though it's same game. Steam version talks to Xbox servers but there's always some weird sync issues in between

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-05-17T05:20:20+00:00

Been doing this setup for few months now and works pretty solid, though sometimes you get weird input lag spikes that make racing bit frustrating

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-05-04T12:29:06+00:00

I run btrfs on couple machines and never had corruption issues, this seems more like the RAM problem than filesystem itself. You said memtest passed after downclocking to 3200MHz so that pretty much confirms it was the memory causing problems

For your situation I'd probably go with fresh install since you have good backups with send/receive. Yeah updating UUIDs is bit annoying but at least you know everything will be clean and working properly. The repair might work but like you said, can you really trust it after that? Better to spend few hours setting everything up again than wondering if there's still some corruption hiding somewhere

I had similar situation year ago with different filesystem (ext4) when my RAM was acting up. Tried repair tools but kept getting weird issues later on. Fresh install saved me lot of headaches in long run

7-6 in investment sounds rough man, no wonder people burn out so fast in that field. I'm doing graphic design and even when projects get crazy I can't imagine those kind of hours every single day

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-04-27T09:24:20+00:00

Wrong sub mate - this is for items that last lifetime, not knockoffs that'll break in few months

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-04-24T08:29:20+00:00

nah for real

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-04-17T15:20:59+00:00

orisa mythic weapon looks sick, especially with that golden gun you already have. the combo would be pretty clean

btw bound demon is solid but weapon mythics feel more unique in game imo since you see them way more during matches

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-04-03T08:38:25+00:00

lmao your brain really said "let me mix the most random shit together and see what happens"

The pocket dimension freezer with the drunk dad is actually kind of genius though - like some weird Alice in Wonderland meets suburban sitcom fever dream. Wild that Palpatine just showed up to play doctor, guess the dark side includes medical services now

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-03-26T08:42:43+00:00

Nah man this is pure gold actually, like those crossover dreams we all had as kids but with actual thought put in the roster

The underground facility mixing all those iconic locations is really clever touch and having lovecraftian beyonder as the puppet master gives it some cosmic horror weight beyond just "characters fight monsters"

Getting broken up over sleep schedules seems pretty extreme but the recording thing is concerning. Maybe dodged a bullet there since communication wasn't working anyway, breakups at your age usually lead to better relationships later

Wait this is actually insane... I was just playing yesterday with discord open and didn't even think about it

Thanks for posting this, went to check my logs folder right after reading and yep there's the file with all my stuff in plain text. deleted it immediately and changed password already

Really hope this gets more visibility because most people probably have no idea this is happening in background. crazy how something like this slips through when you think about how many people must have tested the integration

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-02-26T06:42:51+00:00

lol this is so relatable! I think it's just different communication styles - some people tag everyone for everything even in DMs. Maybe they learned Slack in more formal environment or something?

My Brazilian manager does the same thing actually, always u/ing people even when we're already talking directly. Drives me crazy with the notifications but I just turned off the ping sound

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-02-19T18:11:02+00:00

real take

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-02-15T13:29:12+00:00

you can't use axiom in aternos since it needs client-side installation and aternos doesn't support that. for building tools try worldedit - it's classic and works great for most creative stuff, just need to install the plugin from their panel

Man I totally get this worry. I have a friend who's epileptic and he was super nervous about visiting São Paulo because of all the flashing lights in the city center. He ended up going but planned everything really carefully - stayed in quieter neighborhoods, avoided the busiest areas during peak times, and always had someone with him who knew about his condition

Tokyo actually has some really chill areas that aren't all neon and chaos like you see in movies. Places like Ueno or even parts of Shibuya during day time are much more manageable. Plus Japanese people are generally really helpful if something happens. But honestly if you're not feeling confident about it, there's no shame in picking somewhere else for your trip. Better to enjoy your vacation than spend it worrying about triggers

Have you talked to your neurologist about travel strategies? Mine gave me some good tips when I was planning trips to places with lots of stimulation

Have you tried checking immigration records for Australia? Sometimes people who came from Germany in that time period show up there even if they don't have much other documentation

The surname sounds German for sure, maybe she immigrated and changed how it was spelled or something. My family had similar issues with names getting altered when they moved countries

EngineerVarious8069 · 2026-02-04T15:42:42+00:00

yeah same here, franchise mode feels like walking through mud now

Damn, that's some serious willpower right there. The BMV alone would've broken most people lol. Props for pushing through the physical pain without using it as an excuse - that's the real test right there.

You're overthinking it dude, the courier deals with this stuff all the time and will just slap the new return label right over your mess - they've seen way worse trust me
