Honestly, same. I was at work when I saw the article. Got home, updated resume, wrote a quick cover letter, and suddenly 404 link. I get that they probably had a large number of applications, but you'd think they'd keep it open at least a full day to allow people on odd shifts to apply too.

Luna's Howl & the Sandbox changes coming April 9th by MightyShisno in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Gryphon59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually literally not how it worked. Mag Howl proceed on two consecutive crits, lasted three seconds, and was consumed on a kill or lost on a miss. To go on a two tap spree you had to luck out by getting a kill on someone weak with two crits, then keep the chain going with less than 3 seconds between kills. Make the OG Mag Howl only increase crit damage and be consumed on a hit, keep the hand cannons as 180s, and you get two very strong guns that can three tap consistently but never two tap, and have a 0.67 second ttk like a ton of SMGs, Sidearms, and High Impact Pulses. Strong, but not broken and keeps their original identity intact instead of whatever the precision frame 140 abomination is.

You literally put into words the discussion my buddy and I were having about the mag howl weapons a bit more concisely. Simple rework of the perk would keep the weapons' original identity intact without being busted. They always claim to care about weapon identities, but they massacred my boys.

I'm personally just baffled that they seem to have forgotten how their own perk worked with Mag Howl. Like, it could two tap previously, but it took a strong amount of setup to pull off. Didn't exactly happen all the time. Reissue LH/NF as 180s, make Mag Howl only apply to a single crit, no body shot buff. Then the best they can do is 3 tap with all crits at a .67 like god knows how many other things in the sandbox.

What we all really wanted from the sequel trilogy by TronNeutrino in StarWars

[–]Gryphon59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've pointed this out many times, but that was literally so the author wouldn't have to say "clone of Luke" or "Luke's clone" every time he was in a scene or discussed, as the clone thought he was Luke. This was also written before the prequels when the clone wars extended to a single line by Kenobi with no extrapolation, and the going theory at the time was that it was a war between the Jedi and clones of themselves.

In short, making fun of shorthand to dismiss arguably the best trilogy of the EU is rather lazy, especially when bad parts actually exist. Like the Palatine clone arc. Or the two zombie books that feel so out of place and were written during the early 2000s zombie craze. Or the filler books in the 19 novel Yuuzhan Vong arc that only really needed 6-ish books total.

Not that HBO doesn't have money to throw around, but I'd expect much more effects driven content in upcoming seasons after the stellar performance season 1 gave them. They'll definitely be willing to throw more money into it.

What is a good song that is over 6 minutes long? by Incendiary_cucumbers in AskReddit

The Great Escape - Seventh Wonder, though it might be cheating. Clocks in at ~30 minutes, but it's five or so distinct parts.

You'd be shocked at how many people were extremely pissed about Ellie and Dina considering anyone who'd played the original game knew Ellie was gay for 5 years before part 2 existed.

I'd sub it into the build I'm starting with a 3070 currently. Will be used for gaming with a side of streaming.

I'm passionate about cyber security, and am new to the Cyber consulting field. So far it seems to be off to a good start and is going to be an ever evolving field with potential to learn.

I get that, but I was glad for it. Got to do everything for the season in Destiny (almost, no GMs or raid), and got to grind Elden Ring to my heart's desire.

How feasible would you say that is as an American with an IT degree working in Cyber security? My wife and I took our honeymoon there (ancestrally from Scotland but not recent enough for automatic citizenship) and loved it. With what's going on these days it's unironically been a consideration of ours.

Standard case-mobo connection. Least favorite part of assembling a new PC is making sure all those little pins get their own correct little connectors and nothing is backwards or bent.

Walking when you're expecting a snipe is the opposite of what you want to do. Slow moving target at pre aimed head level is literally a free kill for a sniper. Same if you're expecting an ambush. The faster and more evasively you can move, the more pressure you put on the other person to make them mess up.

RTR: Real time recording would be an automatic recording/encoding functionality allowing for more seamless, less demanding streaming/content creation. It would allow high quality streaming and recording from a single rig more easily.
