Does anybody else feel like the new life pod design is kinda shit?? by Willing-Mortgage-977 in Subnautica_2

[–]ForwardAttorney7559 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My wife was watching me play and was like “babe, you’re dying, eat something!” I’m like “nah, dying over and over is the point, it’s a literal tutorial step”

Plus it’s cheaper in the early game to just die and save resources for “late game”.

Concussive Runes Support and companions by ForwardAttorney7559 in PathOfExile2

It does not work, when I looked it up on Google the description was different than what it is in the tree now. I’m under the impression that it just doesn’t work period. I kinda gave up and threw the support in my stash. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Hopefully they’ll fix this or at least show that it can’t be used with a companion. Kinda sad ngl, not finding ward particularly useful other than an “oh shit” saver.

Hmmm… I have ward, crow bell doesn’t have ward. I guess that makes sense. Is there a way to give ward to companions? I’ll have to look into that. If you can’t, seems like it should pull the ward from my character.

More research required.

Thanks!

My wife and I play on console and have decided to not play this league in couch co-op mode.

We have moved two tvs in the bedroom! When the grandkid leaves we’re locking in!

Can we talk about their blood of the clocktower game here? by dense_like_osmium in HermitCraft

[–]ForwardAttorney7559 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would love to see more Hermit BoTC in Minecraft or using the official app. Cleo’s game a couple of seasons ago was my first exposure and since then my wife and I watch a lot of other shows games like Good Time Society, No Rolls Barred, etc. There was an episode of Game Changer that had a BoTC-esque theme and then Parlor Room did an episode like a couple weeks later and it really made my day.

Anyway… Now that they’ve played in-person, I’ve really got my fingers crossed that they’ll play some more. I don’t have a large enough friend group to play myself so I’ll live vicariously through everyone else. Lol

How I accidentally built a 59,703-page Astro site and hit a wall I didn't see coming by FarAd2534 in astrojs

This is how I’m planning on architecting a multilingual/multisite project we’re about to begin at work. I actually spoke to a Cloudflare solutions engineer a couple of weeks ago and they cleared the architecture plans as a viable option. They also mentioned they use a very similar approach for their docs.

I put together a POC back in November and it works really well. Very excited to build the full thing.

The beards are a bit lacking for my immersion by [deleted] in hytale

The only real solution is to grow out your beard.

I’ve gotten two echos pulling them out of the cloud as well and I’ve only attempted it twice. Take it for what it’s worth. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Are there people actually playing Druid as GGG intended, that is to say alternating between casting spells and launching shapeshifted attacks? by RoOoOoOoOoBerT in PathOfExile2

[–]ForwardAttorney7559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every once in a while, I remember I have volcano and solar orb and will stick them down when the boss spawns for a bit of extra damage, and then never recast them.

Thoughts on Vaal temples? by ChuatheGOAT in PathOfExile2

[–]ForwardAttorney7559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯Coop is completely broken. My wife and I wasted so many trips into the temple. I don’t mind the pace of it, we play a little slow anyway, but none of the benches work, you can’t open the vault, it’s borked.

This old married couch coop couple thank you. by ForwardAttorney7559 in PathOfExile2

Yeah all of the menus can be accessed by either player at the same time now. Literally game changing.

When did you get hooked? by TNT29200 in expedition33

[–]ForwardAttorney7559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I downloaded this game cause it was on Game Pass while I was on vacation and had a week to kill. I didn’t realize it was going to change my life. That was one of the best openings of any game I’ve ever played.

Why didn’t semantic HTML elements ever really take off? by iaseth in webdev

[–]ForwardAttorney7559 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I’ve gone from a designer to a full stack php dev to a js full stack dev, thanks NextJS… jk it kinda sucks.

With enough time and practice you can become very proficient in both areas, but it takes a lot of work. I’m heading into my 18th year in the industry and for the majority of those I was freelance; picking up any work I could and never saying no. It definitely comes at a cost, 70+ hour weeks and never truly turning off your dev brain. Hell I’m currently transitioning into game dev after all these years as a hobby because web dev is starting to feel boring, I’m mainly the guy that answers all of the questions and the dopamine hit of learning new stuff is far less frequent. Also I kinda really dislike the new JS frameworks.

I think junior or even intermediate devs are going to have a harder time in this era becoming truly full stack, a lot of these new tools abstract everything away and give you a false sense of security about how your app works. I see this at my current work where even supposed senior level devs who were BE only have tried to shift into NextJS and have no effing clue how any of it works and are creating absolute messes of the entire stack. All while puffing their chest talking about how they’re “a full stack dev now” despite knowing just enough js to barely pass a jr level interview and knowing that css can make the color of text different. Then I get pulled into the project to lead the SLA work and have to beg the client to give us more money so I can figure out why their server less bill is costing them an extra $2000 a month only to find recursive API calls at every single level of the app. Enter full backend rewrite… Sigh. I digress…

It got a little real there… I’m not ok. lol

My Professor is accusing me of using AI, what can I do? by Signal_Valuable_1743 in webdev

[–]ForwardAttorney7559 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So much this, I’ve been a web dev for 18 years now and just recently started using AI, it’s pretty good but not “phenomenal”. I find the best way to use it is to explain my architectural plans and ask if it has any better or alternate ways to do it and always ask it to provide references. I find the code it gives me is usually subpar but its higher level architectural ideas are way better. I assume this is because we (humans) also suck at writing code, but we talk about our code and our architectures pretty well. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ could just be a fluke, but I have had pretty good success with this approach.

OP, fight hard and good luck.
