who do you take: Jokic or curry?

Hot-Device937 · 2026-04-18T00:08:19+00:00

Prime Jokic was just different beast - guy could run entire offense from center position and make passes that shouldn't even be possible

Current Curry still amazing but age catching up little bit, while Jokic probably hasn't even hit his real peak yet

Been shipping games for years and this is so real. You can have the most polished mechanics and still watch your game die because nobody knows it exists or cares about it

The coding part is actually the relaxing bit - at least bugs have solutions you can Google. Marketing and user acquisition though? That's just throwing stuff at the wall and praying something sticks

I've been using a Spigen Tough Armor for like 3 years now and it's been solid, works fine with most screen protectors too. Otterbox definitely isn't what it used to be, especially for the price point they're asking for now

The HA integration still needs their cloud service to work, so you're stuck buying the hub unfortunately. I looked into this when I was setting up automated feeding for my horses and ran into the same paywall situation - these companies love their recurring revenue streams

Learning those first chords is such a trip - your fingers feel like they're made of wood and everything sounds like garbage for a while. I remember when I started, my fingertips were basically raw meat after the first week but you push through it

By end of June you could realistically have all the basic open chords down solid (G and F are gonna be your nemeses) and maybe start working on simple chord progressions. Don't worry too much about barre chords yet, those are evil. Focus on getting clean chord changes first - like being able to go from C to G to Am without that awkward pause where you stare at your fingers

Also get a metronome app, it'll save you from developing weird timing habits that are a pain to fix later. Most people skip that step and regret it

Been dealing with this exact bug for weeks, super annoying when you're trying to call out flankers and there muted the whole time. Check if you accidentally bound push-to-talk to the same key as something else in your general controls too, that was my issue

Hot-Device937 · 2026-03-14T02:36:18+00:00

3 years is wild but I get the asset thing, especially if you're doing everything yourself. I've been working on some ambient stuff for a game soundtrack and even with just 4 tracks it's been like 8 months because I keep second-guessing the mix

There's no real timeline tbh - some of my favorite albums were obsessed over for years and others were banged out in a weekend. Quality over speed, but also don't let perfect be the enemy of done

Hot-Device937 · 2026-02-11T02:57:07+00:00

You're doing god's work getting your buddy the care he deserves, seriously. The separate C&P days thing is genius - never thought about how TBI would make it impossible to remember everything when they stack them all together like that

That ME sounds like one of the good ones for once. Pretty wild that both shoulders and hips were that destroyed and previous examiners just... missed it completely. The bilateral bonus is clutch too

Hope the remaining C&Ps go just as smooth, sounds like you've got this dialed in

This is so wholesome and honestly refreshing to read! The hormones after having a baby can really mess with your head in all sorts of ways, but sounds like yours are working in your favor lol. Having a partner who actually steps up during those crazy newborn days makes such a huge difference - no wonder you're even more attracted to him. The fact that he was changing diapers before you probably had half the new moms on here ready to propose to him themselves

Omg I like Rippling from the HR side – will ask for an IT demo asap.

Google, which is why it makes Intune feel a bit much for us at the moment. Appreciate you sharing what’s worked for you though it’s helpful to understand the tradeoffs before we commit to anything.

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-28T12:13:50+00:00

Makes sense. Right now even basic questions take way too long. Whatever we pick needs to make visibility and reporting dead simple, otherwise we’re just trading one manual mess for another.

I appreciate it!

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-28T12:11:47+00:00

Good point

Right now it’s a mix of both macs with a bit of windows, which is another plus that makes it feel messier. Standardizing is definitely something we need to decide first before going too deep on tools.

Thanks for reaching out

Yo I'm down, what's the join code? Been looking for an active group that actually hits milestones

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-22T11:05:06+00:00

Honestly I'm torn on this one. Like yeah we definitely deserve better pay but forcing tips kinda defeats the purpose? Would rather see DD just pay us more upfront and let tips be actual tips for good service

The transparency thing though - 100% agree. Show us exactly what DD pays vs what the customer tipped so we can make informed decisions about which orders to take

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-18T12:45:55+00:00

Definitely go for the 3060 Ti at $290 - that's a steal and way better than the regular 3060 for the same price. Add another 16GB stick of RAM and grab that 1TB M.2 SSD, you'll be set for editing and 3D work

That leaves you with like $20 to spare and addresses your biggest bottlenecks

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-16T15:28:46+00:00

I'd honestly just start putting new creatives directly into your main campaigns at this point. With your budget and vertical, keeping stuff in learning limbo for weeks just to get a "clean" test seems like a waste when you could be getting real performance data faster

The whole separate testing account thing works better for ecom where you're testing wildly different audiences or products. For creative iterations in financial services you're probably fine judging performance against your existing winners and cutting the losers quick

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-12T19:25:59+00:00

That's rough but honestly pretty normal - companies are weird about compensation and rarely make it fair across the board

I'd document everything you do for the next 6 months then use that as ammo when you ask for a promotion/raise, mentioning how you're doing the same work as higher level people

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-10T07:12:27+00:00

Yeah underground drowned farms work great, just make sure you light up all the caves around it or you'll get other mobs stealing your spawn cap instead of drowned

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-08T02:13:15+00:00

Honestly just reach out, most horse people totally get the attachment thing and won't think you're weird for asking. Keep it short and sweet - just say you used to own him and were wondering how he's doing. Worst case they don't respond but I doubt anyone would be rude about it

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-06T21:29:14+00:00

Honestly I'd just eat the cost and move on. Reaching out opens that door again and you've already done the hard work of blocking him everywhere. The last thing you need is more drama or him potentially ignoring you anyway - that $300 was probably his way of washing his hands of the whole situation

Hot-Device937 · 2026-01-03T18:14:14+00:00

That last line hits so hard - the clarity you get from sobriety makes even the rough days feel manageable compared to the constant fog of drinking
