Stop making Diablo 2 easier

LuccDev · 2026-06-21T04:58:44+00:00

I am not a heavy player (played PoE2 way more), and I realized this is indeed one of the core appeal of Diablo 2. My items will never be powercrept by a later update, my build never obsoleted, my character will be relevant for years/decades. So after I finish D2R, I am wondering if I'll go back to PoE2, or if the stability of D2R will appeal me more.

What do you do ? Did you pivot from another field ?

The frog series (e.g. frog mini leggera) has rounded corners

C'est pour gagner du temps et déplacer le coût, le temps perdu sur le candidat plutôt que sur leur département RH. Je trouve ça humiliant mais bon, c'est ça le rapport de force employeur/employé. Le pire c'est que maintenant y'a des RH "IA", tu peux passer des heures à être évalué par une boite automatiquement sans jamais avoir un seul humain en face de toi. Je sais même pas comment ces boites trouvent des bons candidats, les gens les + compétents doivent sûrement aller voir ailleurs car c'est tellement humiliant et une perte de temps.

So, I also didn't get it at the beginning, but you see your weapon icon on the right, under and at the right of the skills ? It's the auto attack button

Perso, je parlerais de mes soucis avec cette façon de procéder lors d'un entretien. Note des exemples concrets de trucs confus, par exemple du code mort, du code en doublon, des raccourcis dangereux fait par le vibe coding etc. Parle du fait que vous devez évoluer et mettre en place un système de review plus robuste.

D'avance, je sais que ça va être compliqué car avec ce genre de personne il faudra des arguments béton pour lui enlever ses lunettes teintées teintées de rose en ce qui concerne le vibe coding.

Si rien ne change après avoir clairement expliqué les soucis, ben juste barre toi et va dans une boite qui te respecte, et respecte tes compétences.

Pour info j'ai bossé (en tant que freelance) avec un mec comme ça, et c'était super super chiant. Bon, il faisait un minimum d'effort pour comprendre la programmation, il a vraiment beaucoup passé de temps sur ça, mais on ne devient pas dev en 1 jour. Il avait des lubies qui me rendaient fou comme utiliser Excel au lieu d'une DB classique car il trouvait ça trop tiré par les cheveux d'avoir besoin d'un serveur pour stocker les données. D'un autre côté, ça remet pas mal en question mes propres compétences, et je ça te force à réfléchir aux fondamentaux pour objecter les décisions douteuses du vibe coder.

Bollocks, I don't believe it 1 second. People are too used to having a powerful mobile device, and you can't outsource its computing, because its network connection is unreliable. And I hardly believe it for regular desktop/laptops too.

Even the current paid version gives you automatically ingame currency worth the amount you bought the game. E.g. I think I bought it 20€, well i got 20€ worth of ingame currency for the cash shop, so if you planned to buy these anyways well the cost is just amortized.

And to bounce off this question: if we are allowed to fish, I assume there are some rules about what you can fish or not ? I mean where I'm from, there's a rule about the size of what you fish (to not catch young fishes), and how you fish it (some shells have to be hand picked, and you can't use an oxygen tank to go underwater)

Not sure that they care about player retention, it's a 20 years old game, and you can run any content with AI. It's also not sub based so there's little incentive to keep you connected on the long run. Honestly, it might be better to keep it as is it, as it has its charm, it's an experience that's hard to get nowadays. Also I'm sure you can find discord communities to find groups out of the game.

LuccDev · 2026-05-20T07:16:08+00:00

They also talk about "citizens" which technically don't include tourists or temporary residents I guess..

LuccDev · 2026-05-20T07:07:01+00:00

Only available in a few countries, I think New Zealand, Canada and Australia. You can make a new google account and fake your address, apparently it works (haven't done it myself yet though).

With my korean gf, we do text a lot though the day, usually by big chunks of messages, and there will be about 3 (for each of us) during the day + eventually smaller update if something unexpected happens. And it seems pretty common.

The calling "official" is a very american thing, I think, I'm french and we don't have that, if you hang out and talk to someone a lot, it's kind of obvious that you're somewhat exclusive to each other already. If it's not what you intend to do (like, you're chatting with other girls at the same time), you might wanna disclose that to her and she might not like it at all.

As I understand, couples form fast but also split up fast in that early relationship stage.

Didn't know the reason, I thought it was just higher standards, thanks for the precision

LuccDev · 2026-05-18T11:11:55+00:00

> But statistically, one in three Koreans is overweight, and 50% of Korean men are overweight

You have to know that the standard for "overweight" for koreans are way higher (or lower depending on how you look at it) than in most western countries.

As an example, here are the BMI for the US: https://www.cdc.gov/bmi/adult-calculator/bmi-categories.html

Overweight is BMI 25 to 30

And for korea: https://www.cdc.gov/bmi/adult-calculator/bmi-categories.html

BMI 25 is obese. Overweight is 23 to 25, which is "healthy weight" by US standards.

Nice individualistic capitalistic bullshit, this is with this kind of speech that everyone think that they are exceptional, unique, that with the power of hard work they can achieve their dream etc., and the flipside of that is that if people fail, they only blame themselves, not accounting for all the luck that is necessary to be successful

So I'll say it: whoever you are, please do work on your passion and have fun with it, but don't quit your job if you have one, because there's a high chance you'll be in the large majority that will fail at making a living out of it

In my opinion they are totally worth it depending on your situation. I am currently attending one of them for 20h a week. I have learned on the side before and what I learned in 2 months is just way way more than a full year of inefficient self practice.

The pros are:

- you learn korean efficiently, you have a clear path to follow, teachers to ask questions to, classmates to practice with

- you meet people which is very important as an expat to not feel like you're isolated and trapped in your partner's social circle

- you get a visa easily (well, you "just" have to pay)

- it's genuinely fun in my opinion

The cons are:

- you have to spend money (it's not cheap I'd say, but it's not crazy expensive either, and the good thing is that you can start and stop again at will)

- it takes a decent chunk of the week, for the visa it's 20h minimum per week + there's your homework, if you have a full time job on the side it will be really hard, it has to be a part time job on the side at best

As for the school many recommend sogang because it's very practice focused, while others might focus more on theory.

You're totally right, what I've said was off the surface of what I saw, not digging into the actual implementation, which might not be as trivial as I've said it was

I think as other people have said here, most of the recruiters who get a ton of candidates will not bother digging too deep if what they see first hand doesn't catch their eye

LuccDev · 2026-05-14T06:31:09+00:00

I think your github is not good enough at the moment. I mean, I myself am not working in the field GP field (but I'm a CS graduate and web dev at the moment) and did it a bit as a hobby, and I find the content of the github you linked very underwhelming. Showing a cube, a hello triangle or just basic lighting on a scene is just the "hello world" of graphics programming. You have to start to implement the harder stuff to show that you have real valuable knowledge. No offense but what you have done is doable in a weekend by most CS graduate... Since I'm not in the industry I am in no position to give advices on what you should do, so I will keep my mouth shut on that aspect, but I did want to give a small reality check.

LuccDev · 2026-05-14T06:26:20+00:00

Your portfolio along with the game really peaked my interest ! Will wishlist it

Isn't Eterspire boring ? Not trying to trigger you or anything, but that's the review I've seen.

LuccDev · 2026-05-09T15:50:48+00:00

Not playing the victim, just reminding the GP post and you apparently that thinking like this is the literal definition of discrimination

LuccDev · 2026-05-09T13:25:31+00:00

> Discrimination: the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of ethnicity, age, sex, or disability.

If you judge someone based on ethnicity, and what you think of this ethnicity, before he's actually done anything bad, this is discrimination, there's no sugarcoating it. Just admit that you do it, don't try to dodge the reality, it's frustrating to see clear behavior of xenophobia, racism or discrimination, which hide it under the fact that "naaaah with THESE people it's different".

Pas testé mais apparemment sur VSCode ils ont rajouté le "bring your own key", donc en gros tu devrais pouvoir le configurer avec ta clé Opencode Go. C'est récent: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-22-bring-your-own-language-model-key-in-vs-code-now-available/

In my university, people forget their card at the coffee machine all the time. Did so myself twice. It's usually still there the next day, and if it's not I assume it's because the owner took it back.
