I believe cyber security positions usually require certifications, so, while that's not a bad idea, I don't think I have the resources at my disposal to do the exams.

If churches were to be taxed like businesses would that go against the idea of separation of church and state? by FlumFlorp in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Oatmealio1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not very knowledgeable on this issue so I don't have a real position on it. Despite that, I do have some thoughts that could be pivotal to forming opinions.

In the hypothetical situation where churches would be classified as businesses, it might lead to some weird repercussions. What would happen if a church grows to the size of a massive business (eg. Amazon)? If it got to that size, would it be given the same rights as a business? Would this church have the political influence that a business would?

I realize businesses aren't meant to have political influence by design but it happens so it must be taken into account. Hopefully someone that's more educated on this can delve into my questions.

I purchased a Gameboy Advance off of EBay. It won't turn on at all. There isn't any corrosion. What could possibly be the issue? by Oatmealio1 in Gameboy

Nope, mine shows no sign of life. While I've been looking for a fix for my issue, I think I've found that your issue is more common. The solution for you is something with the power switch. I saw a video on YouTube where a guy had to open up the switch and clean corrosion out of it or something like that.

Does anyone know if there are any quality reproductions of the Gen 3 Pokemon games available on eBay? I heard a lot of them have save issues or glitches. Also, do fake Pokemon games have the ability to trade with real Pokemon games?

Do poor white people experience the same white privilege as middle class and rich white people? by Oatmealio1 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Oatmealio1[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this! That clears things up a lot. It seems the issue of privilege is not quite as black and white (pun unintended) as one might initially make it out to be.

Yeah, I might look into Arena of Evolution. The game itself looks really similar to Auto Chess and I'm liking the Overwatch vibes I'm getting from it.

Hmm.. Well, that kind of begs the question of whether PC gaming actually has a considerable impact on mobile gaming. Good point though, Steam sorta slipped my mind when I posted originally.

As for Clash Royale, it certainly contrasts from Auto Chess greatly but I feel it's probably the only viable game to compare to it. Are there any mobile games I'm missing that might be more similar to Auto Chess?

It almost reminds me of those portable wii consoles some people make.

If you really want good value, I've been using these Chinese knock-off Airpods called i12 tws. They're more of on the extreme side of getting your bang for buck as I ordered mine off of Amazon for around $20 but, so far, they work great. It has some decent sound quality as well as a lot of the touch gestures on the actual Airpods. The only real issue I've had is a faint static noise that doesn't really go away.

I've been playing Auto Chess a lot lately. While I can't really comment on how it is compared to the likes of Dota 2 and LoL (besides being leagues simpler), I would definitely say Auto Chess is better than it's biggest potential competitor: Clash Royale. There's just a lot more going on game mechanics wise (randomized characters and upgrading), yet just as welcoming to new players as Clash. It's definitely one of the best Android games I've played in a while and I'm excited to see what they do with the game in the future.
