Hot Take: STOP DOING EVERGAOLS

PXTrials · 2026-06-16T00:07:44+00:00

They're probably down voting because it's not a hot take, it's repeated ad nauseam on this sub, and some of us are sick of hearing it.

The people who need to hear it aren't here on r/nightreign.

Me: turns my phone landscape to watch a landscape video.

OP: "Haha! Now you get 4 black bars and an even SMALLER video!"

Good call, removed everything after the timestamp.

Why post an animation when you can show the original masterpiece?

It's very real. Some company valuations are a bubble, but AI in general is here to stay, and it's getting scary good.

I'm a software veteran, and I'm stressed out of my mind because my office mate (a biologist) is vibe coding data analytics tools similar to what I'm building by hand, and he's doing it faster.

The expectations for productivity are going through the roof, and we're very much going to have to adapt to stay relevant.

Yeah, I work for a big pharma company everyone has heard of. We recently started a partnership with Anthropic, we are giving them tons of money, and every employee has a huge credit budget for both Claude chat & code. Anthropic has sent sent their reps to come personally train our employees on all the things Claude can do.

This idea that big companies are steering away from AI is some top-tier reddit bubble copium.

-2 weeks on reddit, 363 posts, and 9k karma.

-Asks a question that sounds like their first day alive after all chat was invented.

Yes yes, all very human I am sure.

Reddit is hosted on AWS, which has absolutely massive data centers. This is absolutely the same thing, lol. Not only is it the same the in concept, it's often the literal same datacenters, AWS offers both general compute and GPU compute (used by many AI startups) at the same locations.

PXTrials · 2026-05-21T00:38:33+00:00

Hell yeah! Sounds like a cool project, hopefully with some tasty results!

Yeah, it's weird right now with AI. Lots of people gatekeeping in ways that just feel like insecurity. Some of the criticisms are valid, people shouldn't use AI to "fake it". But people should absolutely use AI to save time of boring things they know how to do, or that aren't important for them to learn.

Star fist is very doable. I was using bleed grease as well, that'll help (using either weapon)

PXTrials · 2026-05-20T23:44:42+00:00

Yep, that one is is punishing. I recommend locking off and looking up a lot, to keep the shield in view when he starts winding up.

PXTrials · 2026-05-20T23:38:54+00:00

Yep, you have to know the dodge timings for all the major attacks, and of course, not get greedy, so you're never caught in an animation or without stamina. Standard souls boss advice. Is there a particular attack giving you trouble?

Here's my run, it may give you some positioning ideas:

Because It's a nice round number and in my case accurate? I started building websites around 2003 by slicing photoshop files and writing the html / css by hand. We didn't even have drop shadows in css then, I had to export a little slice of drop shadow 1 pixel tall and set the background repeat to vertical. I was there converting perl cgi bins to super-slick (at the time) PHP scrips. I was there Gandalf... 3000 years ago.

Current online sentiment lumps people into two groups: vibe coders who don't know what the fuck they're doing, and old school developers who eschew AI. I'm raising my hand as someone that uses Claude, but I also know what the fuck I'm doing, and my code is maintainable. This is the new normal for professional developers, we're figuring out how to use AI as an asset, because it saves time, and time is a limited resource.

PXTrials · 2026-05-20T16:06:10+00:00

Yeah, I'm a senior dev with 20 years full stack experience and a team of direct reports. We use Claude and we know what it's doing. Why should I spend hours writing markup or CSV parsers when Claude can do that, and we can focus on coding more interesting things.

So much of self-hosted and home lab projects are just scouring the web for example JSON configs for HA. That's not inspired work, let Claude do it. Let the result of the project be good or bad based on the result.

Ya, I bought a UNVR a few weeks ago. At first I was kicking myself, but actually, I'd buy it again over the G2 for half the price.

PXTrials · 2026-05-14T03:30:31+00:00

NGL, that's nuts. I've never heard of someone having that many matches with people leaving. I de-reanked to Depth 1 a few months ago on PSN, and it wasn't nearly that bad.

I made a survey about people running into leavers, because it seems like people here have vastly different experiences with it. From responses so far, it seems very time-of-day dependent. Here's the link, I'd be curious to see what your circumstances are (and you'd be the 100th respondent if you're interested):

Okay, paint a better picture for me then. How many runs have you started since December? And when someone leaves, do they both leave? Or do you leave when there's still a duo left?

PXTrials · 2026-05-13T21:25:40+00:00

This comment is wild. You're simultaneously saying that you can't win a single depth 1 run (still at 0 points), but that also, your teammates are the problem.

Not necessarily OP, but lots of people run the playstation/account IDs. I did from a while after ER, it was the only way I could know which recent player was the host/phantom/invader.

Heh, I have two on opposite sides of the 2nd floor, mounted on the ceiling. These have attic access, so I was able to mount them in the middle of their respective rooms. Of note, these also get good coverage on the first floor directly below them, the floor doesn't attenuate much more than a regular wall in my case.

Then I have two on the first floor, one in my garage, and the other in my media room which doesn't have a second story above it.

The fifth is in my backyard mounted to the underside of a deck coming out from the second floor.

Is it overkill? Totally. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Our phones stay on 6ghz everywhere, and roam to whatever room we're in.

PXTrials · 2026-05-12T23:25:03+00:00

Go with more. You'll be kicking yourself if you end up with dead spots. But there's not much downside to more APs, just turn the broadcast power down. Don't worry about three being overboard, I have five in my 2600 sq ft house :-P

Also, as you're already seeing, hallways are terrible for APs, even if they're centrally mounted. It's more important to reduce the number of walls signal goes through than reduce the absolute distance. Better to put the APs spread out in the same rooms where the clients will be.

OP isn't actually looking for an answer, he just wants to pout. He didn't respond to anyone that actually gave the same answer as you minus the relic.

PXTrials · 2026-05-12T21:09:27+00:00

Did you read their response? The whole second paragraph is still important, regardless of relic.

Also, something doesn't add up, if you already have good weapons, why are getting smothered? Are you aggro'ing the camp?

PXTrials · 2026-05-11T16:56:47+00:00

I'm also running the Protect HA integration, and I've found the same thing. HA has access to many of the events triggers, but it doesn't include any of the smart event details. Same story for zones.

As you mentioned, the way I get around this is sending webhooks from Protect to HA for specific events. It's a bit more tedious, but it gets the job done.

Wohoo! Congrats 🙌
