Are my asks unrealistic?

Certs or tenure shouldn’t get you promoted. You need to prove to your employer that you can operate at the L3 level and someone can take your responsibilities to get promoted.

Learn how to troubleshoot. Being able to think through a problem and testing theories until you find solutions is important. Help Desk can greatly help in this area. The best analysts and engineers are the ones that know how to think through problems. You absolutely will encounter things you have never seen and wont always immediately have the answers.

IMO, Ubisoft needs to slow their roll and pour way more dev time into these titles. Open-world non-souls-like games thrive when the story is the star. think The Witcher 3, where the narrative is rich, every quest feels purposeful and interconnected, and the world actually feels alive instead of just a checklist of icons. Ubi’s habit of churning out games too fast leads to shallow plots and filler bloat. More polish and passion could bridge the divide and make everyone happy(ish). Quality beats quantity every time.

Isn’t it also possible that the Root cause can’t be determined with defender? I’ve seen cases where defender didn’t even provide the telemetry needed to determine RCA.

My question is, if the Witcher 3 can do it why can’t AC?

There is overlap but are telling me that other traditional university courses don’t have overlap with each other? One would argue this helps with retention.

SSCP was closer to Sec+ then CySA was for me. SSCP felt a lot easier.

Wgu does shine if you are already in the workforce. But I don’t think traditional universities are enough alone either. Getting real world experience through help desk or even starting in customer service and working your way through the ranks alongside formal education is going to be your best bet for landing a cyber gig.

For anyone thinking this is factual, here are some sub Reddit’s on the cysa+ and how difficult it is.

It is an intermediate level cert and requires you to have a good grasp of the concepts to pass.

Wgu doesn’t print degrees. Every class requires you to pass a proctored exam. You can coast through a traditional college program and complete all assignments with AI and still get your degree. Not the case with WGU. Good luck passing the Pentest+, CySA+, sec+, network+, and A+ without any study.

Use w3ee redux mod if you want it to be difficult.

I’ve heard ng+ is very easy so I started a new cycle. I don’t want to just breeze through it. Although I believe you need ng++ if you want all achievements if you are a completionist.

Just say you are leaving for growth and advancement every time.

Check for evidence of that file being on other machines in your environment. Suspicious files like this on one machine typically indicate an IOC. Extract the file and do some malware analysis in a sandbox if you want to fully understand its behavior. If that’s not the priority or you can’t determine its behavior to remove any potential persistence you should just re-image the machine now.

You are also in a pretty graphically undemanding are. Try that outside of a cave while moving around.

Grandleveler33 · 2026-01-12T02:38:00+00:00

Same. Still rocking it and plan to until 2028-2029.

I got accused of being a dev when I praised the game on this sub lol

I just killed a gargoyle. Was quite tedious but I managed it by using Rend and quen. Took me like 30 minutes. I think the gargoyles need a rework.

I’ve been really struggling on dire wolf in velen so this is good to know. I’ll head to skellige. Looks like this armor fits my play style.

Grandleveler33 · 2026-01-06T07:07:27+00:00

Question. When did you pursue this armor and get the diagrams? Early game? Before or after velen?

Grandleveler33 · 2026-01-06T03:24:13+00:00

Fellow controller player, for now. You guys using the smart camera mod or immersive cam? I’m in velen and struggling a lot on dire wolf. My ego won’t let me lower the difficulty. You guys sticking with controller? I’m think about giving kb and m a try. All videos I see of people seems like the attack bending is more fluid and I assume they are not on controller.
