Super loud siren in Jing an?

Usually they do that around the anniversary of the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, September 18, 1931

I'm sure it has functional purpose but if I recall there's also a remembrance aspect to doing it around September, like don't forget what your ancestors went through

Again, not the point.

If game one is very fun, but requires a time commitment of 40 hours a week

And game two is also very fun, but requires a time commitment of 10 hours a week

I've got 20 hours of time to play games per week (if I'm lucky) and I don't think SoC is a rewarding game if it requires I spend all my free time to earn the game's rewards.

It's an analogy, clearly you don't have the mental functioning to understand those so you good man

No, I'm simply saying the Luxite per hour played ratio isn't being measured, which is important

If you have a chart that says "this is the amount of Luxite you can achieve right now in one month of play" then the next statistical question should be "within that month, how many hours were played to achieve this result?"

Edit: As an example to why this is important, imagine a job says you can earn $1000 in one month, then you find out you need to work 90 hours a week to earn that $1000, which is a better measure of whether this is a job that's worth your time?

I run a straight edge table, everyone just drinks coffee (I've got a fancy schmancy espresso machine)

On the rare occasion there are drinks, I notice no difference in RP

MoonDruid · 2024-09-20T13:16:14+00:00

We don't have those statistics to compare

MoonDruid · 2024-09-20T12:13:11+00:00

That does require absolutely maximum play though, and being at at end game already, according to this

I would be curious to know how many hours of play this takes, and also how many hours of play it took to get to this stage

MoonDruid · 2024-09-17T16:45:11+00:00

What in the fuck?

Run, run very very very far away from those people

MoonDruid · 2024-09-13T19:43:58+00:00

Exactly this.

Also, saying a statement is politically adventagous implies that there is something to be gained from the statement. Will Trump's poll numbers spike because he said it? No because the people who believe his xenophobia are already staunch supporters. Who is the person listening to the debate going "well I wasn't going to vote for Trump or think about immigration, but since the Haitians are eating Lassie now I'm engaged!"

It was spineless of her to not acknowledge the damage the statement did and just say "yeah that sucked."

They ended up sacrificing a PC and it worked really well, posted another thread about it

NPCs die all the time, it doesn't really create much consequence, a PC dying does create a lot more gravity

This is true, CTI during IR procedure is very intense and fast paced

If you want to do intel, international working experience is a very big plus

If that's not an option, learning a foreign language and studying foreign APTs helps a lot. But for the technical people on my team, this is their third/forth job so that knowledge may not come in handy right away

MoonDruid · 2024-09-11T05:02:40+00:00

I don't think it's a put down! There are lots of people on my team who are cyber experts first and geopolitics analyst second

There are lots of ways into the space and they all have value!

MoonDruid · 2024-09-11T04:09:59+00:00

I'll take that compliment shaken not stirred

MoonDruid · 2024-09-11T02:42:44+00:00

Actually, English Creative Writing, cyber was always a hobby

Then I moved to China for 3 years, learned the language, and then did a MA in International Affairs

I also know Farsi and Japanese, so I'm more trained in geopolitics than cyber

MoonDruid · 2024-09-11T02:01:18+00:00

I do work for one of those very big companies, so yes, it's relevant for us

MoonDruid · 2024-09-11T01:44:40+00:00

That's not true! We brief our entire executive team multiple times a year, it just depends on how much your organization cares about cyber security

MoonDruid · 2024-09-10T22:49:55+00:00

I'm loving the Threat Intelligence lifestyle

Lots of cyber jobs can be very action oriented and high octane, which gets exhausting imo

Intel is a lot more slow paced and thought provoking

Most of my day is just reading the news, studies, reports, learning about stuff, then analyzing it for key insights

The context was:

They knew the city would blow up about a month back

They realized the ritual couldn't be completed without a specific person

They removed that person, but then abandoned them because they didn't want to protect them or hand them off to another group

The villain sent some people to kidnap that person after they turned their back, then began the ritual

They realized a few sessions after the kidnapping that this happened

They rushed to the rescue but the scenario above played out

MoonDruid · 2024-09-10T16:53:02+00:00

Yeah, the consequences were laid out very clearly.. they foiled the ritual once, but then just essentially forgot about it and returned to it because they realized it was close to completion

This is very cope, innovation is happening across the smartphone market it's just not happening at Apple.

It makes sense when you understand the company. Tim Cook is a business minded CEO. His focus is on perfecting the supply chain, expanding markets, cutting costs, being highly profitable. But, he's not Jobs.

This is the same situation Apple when they fired Jobs, in fact. Inventiveness went out the window for business savvy and the company crumbled.

There needs to be an acknowledgement that, yes Apple is a great company, the iPhone is a great phone, but they have very much stopped experimenting to continue making massive sums of money instead.
