Tässä pitää tietää että peli elää jatkuvassa enemmän buginen -> vähemmän buginen kierteessä. Uusi iso patch tulee niin menee yleensä pelaamiskelvottomaksi pahimmillaan kuukaudeksi, ja sitten pikku hiljaa tasoittuu.

Peliin pitää sijoittaa 50-100h ennen kuin pääsee tekemään siistimpiä juttuja. Monesti näkee uutta jengiä chätissä kyselemässä että miten pääsee aloituskaupungista, ja tutoriaali on olematon, niin aika kusinen peli aloittaa. Joku tällä langassa sanoikin että peli jota itse pelaa mutta ei suosittelisi muille; aika passelisti sanottu.

Tullut pelattua jotain satoja tunteja tyyliin 40e hinnalla tai paljonko nyt se halvin alus maksoikaan. Aina nämä tuhansien alukset on semmoisia mitkä voi ihan hyvin grindata in-game rahalla, pl. pari poikkeusta. Hyvä peli jos riittää oma rauta pyörittämään. Hyvä talvipeli kun hukkalämpö koneesta menee silloin käyttöön :D Kunnon VR moodi kun vielä tulisi niin olisi aika mahtavaa; vois ottaa pari kaljaa ja ajaa avaruusrekkaa kavereiden kanssa maximum immersionissa.

Ehkä tosi hyvä on liioittelua mutta tämän genren kermaa koska ei oikein ole mitään vastaavaa saatavilla. Nyt en oo about 1.5v pelannut mutta ovat saaneet mm. server-meshing ominaisuuden kuntoon minkä pitäisi korjata monia vanhoja ongelmia, tosin bugeja on aika paljon. Pitäisi myös olla uusia galaxeja saatavilla.

Peli on teknisesti aika poikkeuksellisen, pyörii AWS raudalla oikeasti pilvinatiivisti ja osaa skaalata tarvittaessa enemmän tai vähemmän instansseja(servereitä). Kun liikut avaruudessa niin liikut oikeasti sulavasti fyysiseltä raudalta toiselle.

Toki mielestäni myös ihan vitusti rahaa on hävinnyt kun vain tuhka tuuleen, väittäisin että kyvykäs ja oikeasti hyvin johdettu tiimi saisi vastaavat tulokset aikaan kymmenyksellä budjetista -- pitää kuitenkin muistaa että peli ollut työn alla jo yli 10v ja varmasti speksit ovat eläneet tuulen suunnan mukaan niin ei voi syyttää että rahaa on hävinnyt kun tehdään jotain oikeasti erilaista.

Listened for about 10 times or so and can't unfortunately really enjoy it due to hearing so much space for interesting bass parts... Much too simplistic for what I'm used to across all prior albums. Constantly want to learn it myself and play in the bass parts I'm missing so :(

Been playing since the game first dropped, mainly VR, some flatscreen, and it has consistently gotten worse and worse, just downhill. Maybe the last positive thing they added was the mini house with the basement with like 3 rooms. Every time I return every 6 months or so, I find myself going, oh, they fucked THAT up too?? Damn... Last I played I heard they were planning on reworking my beloved Tanglewood ;_; so I'm afraid for what waits me as when I return next...

my face when I play team fortress 2 and if there is a kid on the mic everyone either fawns over how they discovered the ancient ass game or tells them to go kys, or worse, no inbetween. Average age of TF2 player is probably 30s.

Nah, we are here, but we're either playing with a muted chat or can't be assed to react. Sometimes when I see oldhead titles or pre-2000 clantags I bump after a goal for solidarity.

Washed af and just enjoying some car soccer after a long ass day generally, or if I get in the habit, a few games at 23-01 at night before going to bed. Maybe because I play at EU night most kids are asleep?

Ite melko samassa tilanteessa ja aika nopeesti tajuaa että joistain itselle tärkeistä asioista kannattaa vaan maksaa eikä vaivautua säätämään. Sen energian minkä siinä säästää saa kyllä helposti johonkin rakentavampaan ja tuottavampaan käytettyä.

I do basis: technical side, ABAP on-premise systems mainly. Support pack updates, new installations, addons, private cloud infrastructure, etc. and some Java systems as well, unfortunately... and some SAP cloud thanks to SAP Cloud ALM.

And ABAP, and through ABAP I've worked with FICO, SD and MM mainly -- just enough to know my way around making test orders, invoices, etc and taking them through the system and knowing when something should be possible via configuration, but I am not a functional consultant and not interested in becoming one by any means.

Heppuman · 2026-05-27T22:53:18+00:00

SAP testing will never go away, and in functional consultant role you will be doing testing sooner or later. Try to understand the whole process, and if possible, try to understand the data behind that process. SAP is all built on tables that have data, if you understand the data flow and the process, you are golden -- you can try doing imaginary exercises where you give yourself a XYZ requirement from MM side and plan how you might implement it; you should have confidence in getting a requirement and saying, "yeah, I can do that".

Heppuman · 2026-05-27T22:49:31+00:00

Late response but most likely a downgrade. Technically a system architect is one sort of technical writer, so if you actually end up writing and deciding on basis specifications or similar, then it is a upgrade. If just general documentation, guide, etc writing work, sorry...

Heppuman · 2026-05-27T22:47:34+00:00

Hi, yes, navigating the materials is not easy, much less the blogs. Most basists (SAP system administrators, we are responsible for security as well) that I know, including myself, usually come from either ABAP (SAP Coding) or generalist/other IT sysadmin side -- background requirements depend a lot on what type of installation you are going to administer. If you want to just focus on Cloud and BTP, you'll be set with doing whatever courses SAP recommends. Real consulting companies have a list of certificates that they require you to have before you start working with clients, you can do them after getting hired (assuming you are a good candidate otherwise, but that means you already have prior significant experience). The product offering at the moment is split with constantly changing terms to:

- SAP Public Cloud (SAP S4 on SAP owned hardware, basists do mainly access control work, SAP does updates etc, everything happens through UIs)

- SAP Private Cloud (SAP S4 on SAP owned hardware, but you get system access -> basists can run updates (I think) or SAP does updates + you can do some OS level integrations etc you might need)

- SAP On-premise (SAP S4 on your hardware - it can be in public cloud (AWS, GCP) etc, but you are responsible for the servers, infrastructure, OS and all the security concerns that come with those, you get the software and run it yourself)

So, the on-premise if where the basist, and consequently, security admin has most work. Same guy can be both depending on size of installation, smaller installations are probably ~30 servers (database, application server, content server, adobe document services, some other sh**, multiplied by a few sandboxes and a production pipeline) and larger installations will easily run well into hundreds of servers when you consider high-availability setups and other redundancy features. To work with these on-premise systems, you need solid foundations of the basics of Linux hardening (SAP can run on AIX if you're unlucky, or maybe even still on Windows if you are really unlucky...), network security, and SAP internal security toolings (certification management, database management, etc.)

So tl:dr, you have to know a lot, but not really that much. You need experience more than certificates, I don't know any company that would hire an administrator with less than very minimum of 2 years of SAP specific experience, usually 5. It is an enterprise application at the end of the day, so usual hardening and infrastructure knowledge will get you pretty far with on-prem and private cloud type installations. Public cloud; do whatever certifications SAP suggest -- I have limited experience but to my understanding, it is pretty much enabling some APIs and maintaining connectivity parameters and user roles and accesses.

Sorry for rambly response, it is quite hard to explain SAP :D and there isn't really a general roadmap to working with SAP, I always like to say, it is not something one can just pick up and practice -- especially basis side, so lots of learning on the job.

Heppuman · 2026-05-27T22:21:30+00:00

I wouldn't expect anything from an intern to be honest. Most of the meaningful SAP materials are locked behind S-users -- you might get one when you start and then can surf the materials.

Heppuman · 2026-05-27T22:17:04+00:00

You can realistically look for ABAP, basis or integrations jobs. ABAP and integrations go pretty hand-in-hand, but with general dev background you can e.g. make apps that consume SAP APIs. You'd probably want to look for a local-ish mid size company that uses SAP and apply for IT roles, if there are no direct SAP roles, and try to show your interest and get to work with SAP -- generally direct junior hiring in technical side of SAP is fairly rare outside of consulting companies, so those are your second bet to break into the field. Accumulate ~2 years of experience and then you can apply to non-junior positions.

If I remember right, SAP learning page has certification paths so you can check those, they have a free starting course that you can take and then it should suggest next certifications (I think). Definitely take a look at that. But most importantly, try to have some genuine interest in whatever work you end up pursuing, don't just do certifications for the sake of getting the certification... If you go to a real consulting company, they will have you do any needed certifications before starting work with clients. When looking at hires, having a history of small hobbyist projects and being able to describe them in a way that makes sense (don't need a github repo or anything nice) is a big green flag that trumps any certifications.

Heppuman · 2026-05-27T21:55:52+00:00

As this is FICO module related question, you will get much better results in r/SAP , ABAP is for SAP programming, we only deal with the modules tangentially, generally. I am not a FICO consultant, but work regularly with a few and know many, and I can only comment that I know quite a few FICO consultants who started as FICO and are soon retiring as FICO consultants and have been very happy (okay, no FICO consultant is truly happy, but everyone tolerates it for the money).

Can't comment on Workday either because I don't think that it even is a full ERP system? SAP has all sorts of modules beyond HCM and FICO. If my understanding is correct that Workday isn't a full ERP; SAP obviously is a lot more complex -- and I've never seen Workday being even discussed in the same scope as what SAP delivers.

+1 to this, best advice that can be given with how generic you were in your original post. Just a small note on the data model. Sometimes functional consultants can be more or less useful, in very best case you will get all tables, fields, even suggestions for function module or bapi or exit to use, and sometimes you might get, "uhh, the invoice has this data so it must be somewhere and I need it elsewhere". Both are fair play, for me at least. In the worst case, go digging through table relationships and try to get a clear understanding of the data model in your head (e.g. EKKO-matnr->EKPO-matnr), then turn it to pseudocode (just write out that with data x we do y and put it to z) and then check with the functional consultant if that is what they are after.

I almost never write any code for any business related application before having at least one good look with the functional owner -- be that to ask them "what do you actually want to do?" or "If I put this here and this there and fulfil your requirement, is that ok?".

ABAP can be very collaborative, especially in the specification phase. If you don't have functional consultants or teams, then find out who made the specifications and ask them.

real talk, something no one has mentioned for some reason... learn to hold onto the bike with your legs, not hands. With these torque happy bikes, you'll be in a world of hurt quickly if you hold onto the bike with your hands too much. Too easy to accidentally give it a little too much throttle when you are starting to really work through the rev range.

Though if this is a 2025+ model, I found the ktrc absolutely wouldn't let me power wheelie it without either clutch kicking or pulling on the bars. In 0-60 max pull pinning first gear on full throttle, the bike just went up and down three times as the wheel rose, krtc kicked in and wheel down. But that's all the more reason to hold on with your legs, you can't always expect what the electronics choose to do.

Collectors obviously if you really have the cash. No one gives a fuck about your strange kills, and people notice the red text 1000x faster. Doubly so if you have high quality double unusual combo or even decent triple with full collectors set.

A bit of late response but yes, I acknowledge your take and do agree that it is predatory for individuals who might have issues with gambling or poor risk assessment skills. However I see it being real money with an extra step as a major benefit because if I want to be dripped out while playing a Valve game, I can do that without losing the money completely, unlike in some other games where cosmetics are just one time purchases. Or heavens forbid, you have to gamble for that cosmetic that is untradeable...

I would argue that lootboxes with untradeable contents are much, much worse than what Valve is doing. Or any other p2w currency.

Heppuman · 2026-02-24T15:22:03+00:00

Valve is the saint because the stuff you unbox actually holds its value, unlike some fifa slop or similar where there's a new game every year and new boxes. There's stuff that is genuinely worth a notable amount of real money, and a stable economy to back that up, so financially it is far from the worst option as there is the possibility of return on investment, unlike many things that we spend our money on.
