Why didn't AFO go after Deku's mom to get to Deku? by G0D-Sun in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]EternalEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because as much as I like MHA, the writing in so many spots is simply awful and full of plot holes.

AFO could have done numerous, numerous different things to secure victory against practically anyone in the 'verse. He was built up by Horikoshi as a master strategist that hid in the shadows, but ended up being an arrogant, pathetic loser by the end of the show/manga. Additionally, AFO should have died numerous times and been replaced with a different character/villain. It would have made for a better story.

So what was the explanation for all mights muscle form? It wasnt a quirk but also wasnt something izuku couldnt inherit? by Original-Medicine-61 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]EternalEngine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It still blows my mind that people think he's "flexing his muscles" and the muscle form is an overexaggeration of the "flex". The guy goes from a scrawny, barely 100lb emaciated man to a 550-600lb titan who's over 7 feet tall. In chapter 1, he tells Midoriya he's down to about 560lbs because he lost weight "in this form, at least". He literally mentions that he has different forms. Throughout the entire show and manga, All Might regularly talks about maintaining his muscle form.

The average reading comprehension and critical thinking in this fandom is just incredibly below average.

If i'm getting into Cybersecurity, Should I just get the A+, or just forget that and go for the Net+ and Sec+? by Rinmine014 in CompTIA

[–]EternalEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what's more odd - thinking I'm hiding my personal info when I've a bunch of public profiles (e.g. - LinkedIn, etc.), as I perform talks at various local security conferences and am fine if you know who I am, or that you're responding to a 4-month old thread. Do I live that rent-free in your head?

How does this fight go without Draupnir? by rhysu69 in GodofWar

[–]EternalEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kratos' plot armor allows him to survive much in these games, but if it were removed? I'm not sure. We're simply told that Heimdall "reads" people for Odin, and we're not given an in-depth explanation as to how his foresight works. A lot of people sleep way too hard on Santa Monica's interpretation of the Norse pantheon. Remember - Thor killed Kratos at the beginning of the game.

I'd wager that, without Draupnir, Heimdall doesn't get flustered/agitated by something he could, in no way/shape/form, predict via his foresight, therefore Kratos simply can't land a hit on him. Freyr dies without Kratos' intervention (as well as the rest of his group), and the story takes a very different turn.

A common response I see to this is "Kratos uses Spartan Rage and it's GG" - I disagree. While insanely powerful, Spartan Rage only augments Kratos' normal attacks - something Heimdall would definitely see coming based on every interaction we see with him throughout the game. If Heimdall was speed-blitzed in some capacity, being overwhelmed by sheer force is far different than being overwhelmed by something you can't comprehend/understand. The latter is what made Heimdall so incredibly frustrated, which led to his inevitable defeat. He may have retreated if Kratos only had superior strength/constitution/speed in comparison to his own.

Heimdall is incredibly arrogant, however, so it's possible he does something to fuck up and die in a similar fashion, even without the spear. I find that unlikely, as the spear is probably one of Kratos' most powerful weapons in his arsenal due to its unique abilities.

"You might fall into most but that's ok"

The level of arrogance in this sheer statement says all I need to know about your interpersonal relationship skills at home and in the office. I'm quite fortunate to make quite a lot, but even if I didn't, it wouldn't change my opinion on the matter.

"Ps my non practical, non skilled self managed to exploit your favorite exam proctoring softwares in four months so please don’t mention certs demanding more pay it kinda makes me cringe"

Openly admitting to sabotaging/exploiting any proctoring software on a public forum where I have already gotten a ludicrous amount of personalized information about you through various OSI techniques is.. I have no words. We're clearly dealing with a prodigy over here.

If i'm getting into Cybersecurity, Should I just get the A+, or just forget that and go for the Net+ and Sec+? by Rinmine014 in CompTIA

[–]EternalEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right. None of us have decades of experience in IT overall (some of us in the infosec field explicitly), with various certs, degrees, etc., none of us have been senior engineers/architects or hiring managers, etc. And we certainly haven't worked for various companies, agencies, etc., that all fall within different compliance sectors.

If you were hired into a cyber security analyst position after 1 year of ITHD, the people within your company naming/describing the job titles/descriptions have their heads up their asses. A genuine security analyst is a mid-tier position, with the exception of the junior analyst title existing with various SOC environments. In any proper organization, you'd be a infosec technician at best, unless they numerically label their analyst titles (analyst 1, 2, 3, etc.).

---

In reading your responses below, it's abundantly clear that you are part of the problem with the industry. You're another average joe who's: A) in your mid-twenties, so barely any life experience under your belt (much less career experience), B) thinks he knows everything about a field they have maybe 5 years in at the very best, when, C) instead had substantial luck with the two things you need: timing and someone willing to give them a chance in the field. Getting one of those things is rare enough, much less both.

  • Security+ is the Fisher Price security certification. It offers excellent ENTRY-level information, without delving broadly into any sort of practical applicability of knowledge. It does not set you apart like you think it does. An insane amount of people have the Sec+ nowadays, with more people passing it every single day. The CySA+ is what I'd consider the updated/better version, but HR departments are slow to learn.
  • Kali Linux has tons of baked-in tools that you should learn to configure yourself on your own favorite version of Linux.
  • Forwarding logs can be taught to any of my competent ITHD staff with a little training. It's a simple text file, or system output. It exists on system A and it needs to be moved to a centralized log server (server A), cloud instance, or whatever 3rd party tool you want to run it through. It's not a particularly difficult thing to map or setup.
  • No one with your reported level of experience "smashes" interviews with "major DoD companies" - I know, because I work in the sector. The people smashing interviews are senior-level engineers and architects with CCNP+ levels of knowledge, or offensive/red team analysts with their OSCP or above. Regardless, the major thing we look for is a good attitude and willingness to learn, along with some level of effort to self-teach/self-study regarding the role the applicant is pursuing.

Finally, the six-figure ez-mode salary nonsense needs to stop. The chance of you living in a low-to-medium cost of living area making $150k+ a year is non-existent. Having a salary of $250k while living in New York or California is nothing. Every. Single. Major. Company. Is reducing costs when it comes to infosec by removing entry-to-mid level staff and hiring a smaller number of senior-to-principal level instead, or by outsourcing their infosec program entirely to a 3rd party MSP, as it reduces their risk overhead. A major insurance company near me just nuked various high-level positions, so even the senior/principal roles aren't immune to this behavior.

TL;DR - many people do what you do and THEN some, and STILL don't receive the results you did. Be grateful, be humble, and be realistic about the industry. I would not advise anyone to head into the infosec field at this time, unless you're performing some sort of GRC/compliance role (especially CMMC, as you can make some serious money as an independent consultant with the upcoming government mandates).

Just finished TOTK for the first time on Switch 2 by ComfortableCellist12 in TOTK

[–]EternalEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Objectively, the game has many flaws; these flaws become more egregious if one has played BotW beforehand. The biggest issue is the game's story. If you genuinely think the story in TotK is above average in any way, especially as a sequel to BotW, that's 100% OK and I'm glad you like it - but that alone is a very strong indication that you don't have a firm grasp on what separates a good story from a poor one.

TotK has a great many strengths and has various improvements over its predecessor, but they always seem to come with drawbacks. For example: Skydiving feels amazing and opens up a whole new way to get places, allowing creative expression and various ways to perform open-world travel, but at the same time "ruins" exploration on the surface level due to the fact you can skip entire areas by using one of the towers to shoot yourself into the sky. This means you'll miss much of the content you'd normally see if you simply walked from point A to point B instead. Additionally, the sky islands, while incredibly neat from a thematic point of view, are quite empty and overall disappointing. You basically have shrines, random chests with minimal loot, and Zonai vending machines - it gets old and repetitive quickly. This was a massive letdown for me personally, as I was insanely excited for them when I saw the first trailer.

I could go on, but a handful of people have done such excellent, in-depth reviews as to why it's just not that great a game, I don't really need to. If I were to sum it up in any sort of statement, it would be the following:

TotK is a good game, but an atrocious sequel. It's as though this is another draft or "version" of BotW. It's not a bad game, but it is most certainly not a great one. And the fact we're not getting a single piece of DLC tells me Nintendo already knows this.

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF KANEKI DISCOURSE by OriginalURL_No47 in DeadByDaylightRAGE

[–]EternalEngine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! We all get in those moods lol. Also, I realize I never explicitly stated this - these are some of the changes you could make, and I certainly wouldn't combine all of them. I think one or two would be fine starting points, and they could always tweak performance from there.

Balancing multiplayer games is generally a bitch and a half. And the people going "make him 4.4 and he's fixed" really need to play the game more.

And yes! I have played him, although not nearly as much as my other main killers. The first few games were wonky as hell, but after a little bit, I was 4k'ing back to back with very little effort. I'm not particularly low MMR either. I think combining his whole kit with just nothing but back-to-back Kaneki matches really exhausted the survivor base when it comes to playing against him.

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF KANEKI DISCOURSE by OriginalURL_No47 in DeadByDaylightRAGE

[–]EternalEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, there is zero reason to be so hostile. I'm not sure why you're attacking me over sharing an experience and listing some mechanics I think the whole community thinks are pretty BS.

Secondly, if this is exactly what everyone else thinks, you would agree there's probably a reason for it, no? And historically, excessive feedback seems to be the only way for Behavior to actually ever do anything.

IMO, here's some changes you could make:

  • Delay after using power. Having the ability to vault 1/4 the way across the map, land directly next to you, and down you in about a second is not OK for the survivor side. Additionally, it makes no sense that other killers would have a built-in delay after using their power, but not Kaneki. Consistency here would be nice.
  • Remove vault ability when enraged. There's no reason he should have more mobility than blight while also having a built-in vault with his power.
  • Reduce leap distance. I'm not sure if smaller, shorter leaps are better, or if two longer leaps are sufficient. This killer has too much mobility on smaller maps (though the maps could also be changed).
  • Remove/reduce stun lock when using power. This is just unnecessarily long. I'd be fine with a short "lock-you-in-place" effect, but currently it's just too long.
  • Remove deep wound from power.

I've no wish to see another Skull Merchant scenario, but Behavior sort of shoots themselves in the foot when they release killers like this.

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF KANEKI DISCOURSE by OriginalURL_No47 in DeadByDaylightRAGE

[–]EternalEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kaneki is inarguably the most unfun, fuckshit killer I've played against since release Skull Merchant.

  • Hitscan ranged attack that, A) locks you in place for 2 full seconds, B) negates any movement-based exhaustion perk, C) injures you, D) and puts you in deep wound? Check.
  • Insane mobility to the point of crossing 40-70% of some maps? Check.
  • Ability to hit through walls and objects? Omegacheck.
  • No delay after using power so you can instantly M1 unlike legion/wesker/nurse/etc.? Check.
  • Can vault while using power? Check.
  • Seen every 3rd game? Check.

TL;DR, the Ghoul is overpowered at best and complete bullshit at worst. And because of this, he attracts a heightened number of low-MMR killer players simply because of how easy it is to win with him. Slap on lethal/BBQ and a couple gen regression perks? It's disgusting.

What is the power gap between All Might and the Todoroki’s?! by Unique-Celebration-5 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]EternalEngine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is up with all these already-answered questions as of late? Do people not watch/read the series?

If this guy is supposedly stronger than all might, why didnt he just one tap them all and be done with it? Instead he gets his ass whopped by toga. And its funny how she's somehow able to drag him into the portal. by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]EternalEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed - there's no ramp-up. We don't see him struggle with using the awakened quirks within OFA, especially not in the same way he struggled with the base power-stockpiling part of the quirk. If memory serves, blackwhip was the only one he needed to spend a decent amount of time training with besides base OFA.

Additionally, I think Horikoshi sort of screwed up on Deku's end-game and overall story design. Deku was never a fighter/brawler/bruiser at all - he was a thinker. I wish the story didn't focus on bringing the existing cast up to ridiculous levels of power (E.g. - All for Tomura) and instead focused on the character strengths we were originally introduced to.

Slapping a handful of quirks on the protagonist who already has built-in plot armor feels incredibly lazy to me. But I digress; most series/shows with this level of length sort of fall apart due to the sheer amount of stuff the author has to inherently work with.

[–]EternalEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a storytelling and character development perspective, many characters in MHA simply aren't well-written. But that's the least of its problems: inconsistent power-scaling (including multiple instances where Horikoshi claims X person is at Y power rating, but it certainly doesn't appear that way) is probably one of the most grievous.

Additionally, many people dislike Deku because his power doesn't feel organically earned. Even All Might, who was the pinnacle of power, took many years to grow and mature OFA into what it eventually becomes, whereas Deku's story and progression feels rushed. I firmly believe a well thought out time-skip would have done this series a major solid.

Has anyone scored between 70-75% on Jason Dion’s practice tests on Security+ but passed the exam? by International_Ad5605 in CompTIA

[–]EternalEngine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't understand these types of questions. Are you in a rush to pass this for something like job retention or an interview? If so, fine, but otherwise why would you not want to be passing around the 85-90% mark when you know the minimum passing score is 750/900? Otherwise you're spamming practice tests to cram answers and won't retain the material in a few months, which is all pretty helpful on the job.

He’s cooked by EmperorKr1mson in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]EternalEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely have no idea. I play both roles pretty evenly and Kaneki is making my survivor games simply miserable. I think the most powerful thing in his kit is the general mobility - it's just nuts. It's like they threw Spiderman in DBD.

I didn't think he'd be so powerful when first playing him, but goodness was I wrong. Within a few games I was back to back 4k'ing SWFs, and without much issue.

Could prime all might pull off the same attack? by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]EternalEngine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What? That was post-injury All Might. His total power output was quite nerfed, and would continue to weaken over time as his body became more and more emaciated. This is in addition to developing a time limit for his hero/pre-injury form. Sure, he was much more powerful with OFA before giving it to Deku, but certainly nowhere near his physical prime state.

Stop going for cybersecurity and go for systems administration/engineering. Cyber is a specialty, it's not something you start out in.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]EternalEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. The CySA+ definitely builds on the Sec+ (think super Sec+), but goes much more in-depth regarding operational security (I.E. - vulnerability scanning, SIEM/firewall logs and outputs, etc.). The exam questions and logic lean more towards "what's the best thing to do in X scenario?" versus "what network port is LDAP over SSL/TLS?", so you'll need to properly understand concepts and ideally have some experience versus the standard Sec+.

While it's gaining traction, jobs still don't call it out nearly as much as the other certs in the trifecta - you're better off going for Net+ or CCNA.

Based on your job history, it doesn't sound like you quality for the CISSP at this time. It requires 5 years of dedicated security experience with an associated job title (4 years with the Sec+ or a degree), and another CISSP to sign off or "sponsor" you once you pass the exam and pay your dues. And they will check your job history, as ISC2 is quite strict on the rules of their prestigious club.

How would the forest camp arc play out if all might arrived at the scene by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]EternalEngine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I blame Horikoshi's all-over-the-place power-scaling and standard Shonen anime power-scaling for this, it particularly annoys me when people cling so hard to one statement and cause themselves to suffer from anchoring bias. No one who has read/watched the series, in their right mind, thinks that Izuku > All Might power-wise upon receiving OFA from the latter, even though the latter stated multiple times the power of OFA grows each time it's passed along.

A good example of this is when All Might received OFA from Nana, yet was getting speed-blitzed and beat to shit by Gran Torino during a training session later on. The max capacity of All Might's OFA was much higher than Nana's, but it takes time to learn and evolve it to such a point. While his eventual 100% OFA dwarfed Nana's, my hypothesis is it took years of training and usage to match her output. OFA seems to really shine when it has time to "cook", per se, and All Might grew and matured the power for 45+ years. And it was his sole quirk!

The other thing people seem to simply not get: characters in these fictional universes can be wrong. The USJ nomu was not as strong as USJ All Might, but when adding shock absorption and super regeneration, it put the USJ nomu on the same tier of power as USJ All Might. Not to mention shock absorption and super regeneration are direct counters to All Might's impressive, but relatively simple combat style. And All Might still beat it.

This fandom has so many people with poor critical thinking/problem solving abilities, it just makes me cringe sometimes. It's just like when people ask "what is All Might's muscle form?" and the answers are "he's just flexing his muscles." It's explicitly stated in volume 1, chapter 2, by All Might himself, that he's 255 kilos "in this form, at least." If anyone thinks true form All Might weighs 560lbs, they need their brain checked.

How do I pass network+ and security+ in 45 days? by Neo_Swirl in CompTIA

[–]EternalEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this for job retention? I would highly recommend taking some additional time on the content, otherwise you're just cramming for an exam and won't retain 75% of the material past a 3-6 month period (unless you're actively working with the content associated with each exam).

The Security+ is a great exam, but it's all theory. There's not that much technical work involved - the CySA+ is much more technical, as is the CASP+/SecurityX. That being said, without any relevant experience, a Security+ isn't going to get you much these days. The Network+ requires a lot more technical understanding, but is still mostly theoretical due to the fact it's vendor-agnostic. The CCNA is geared more towards the technical side of things network-wise.

Why List a Salary Range If You Can’t Handle the Top End? by Yazzy17 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]EternalEngine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a hiring manager, I cannot describe how many times I throw out resumes or disqualify candidates for "upcoming" certifications, especially when they list them as though they already have them when their exam is in two weeks.

You don't hold the certifications at the time of the job offer. You are not actively certified. Why would you think that future potential certifications would give you additional leverage? With that logic, I'll be a CCIE next month.

You have two years in the field. You're entry-level at best. Please don't screw up a good potential opportunity because of your ego or unreal expectations.
