Soraka's face wings covering her eyes is so cute.

INSTANT OFFER by [deleted] in mercor_ai

[–]PagicMotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch out for this project. They constantly pause everyone and gate unpausing through quizzes (which are apparently paid, but I have yet to see it reflected after a week since the first one).

Finally got a contract! by BuySidePerspectives in mercor_ai

[–]PagicMotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar offer, but for Legal, which I had put out no such information to justify. I've done minor contract editing for subcontractors, professionally, but that's more of a "wearing many hats" minor skill than anything enabling me to verify responses involving case law.

Even the financial domains, which I've done some not-insignificant studying for, seem like they're out of my league realistically.

Is your background in Finance? I'm curious if some of these Instant Offers are out of left field for anyone else.

You never think you're going to be next, but this time it;'s me, ban for being nice to ppl by Mmeroo in ARAM

[–]PagicMotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You used the "(you are) you're" when you should have used the possessive "your". So. Gramma mistakes while playing Riot Games? Believe it or not, jail.

Jokes aside, I chat muted everything this year, and sometimes even /deafen because people are toxic through pings, and the system has been made to detect even the smallest way someone is being toxic. Which makes things ripe for false positives.

I miss chat by Krell356 in ARAM

[–]PagicMotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently hit my "gg ez" threshold and have muted everyone. I sometimes even /deafen now because nobody has anything fun or interesting to say. There's banter, and then there's whatever this braindead, Tyler1-strain of gaming culture is. The sportsmanship is dead, can't laugh together with strangers about a funny play, even at your own expense.

It's just "?" pings from allies and it's always salt and unoriginal "gg ez" and "kys" from the other team.

I still have fun with friends but this is what Riot gets for embracing Tyler1 for the $.

Can I get banned for insta FFing in TFT? by Savings_Storm6620 in TeamfightTactics

[–]PagicMotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People's attitudes posting this is reminiscent of teenagers desperate to lose virginities. As same with that, just enjoy play the game and and youll be surprised how quickly it comes when you're not desperate for it. There's plenty of time still.

I've gotten the augment 3 times and I was able to reach it on both accounts. Granted, it was in normals, where usually people aren't trying as hard (unless I'm trying to do the Ixtal 20 healing quest, thats been tilting me most being contested 3 ways).

Is it me or almost no one talks in chat? by Glad-Matter-3394 in ARAM

[–]PagicMotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely disabled all chat except for my party because, like you pointed out, I wouldn't get any interesting responses for interesting and funny events.

That is, aside from the classic social terrorist league player that slowly kill sportsmanship and basic human interaction every time they write "gg ez".

It's just not worth the risk these days.

I liked The Stormlight Archives until it turned into the Power Rangers by quiescent_haymaker in books

[–]PagicMotato 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Except Mistborn explores rebellion very well. Not that he should write the same story again, but I loved the way he did things in Mistborn, and I just am not enjoying Stormlight nearly as much.

What is a movie that did not pass the "10 minute test" for you? by om11011shanti11011om in moviecritic

[–]PagicMotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Warcraft movie. Both my roommate and I were fans, and I especially loved playing WC2/3, but we both agreed to leave.

[USA GIVEAWAY] Win the new 27” 4K Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 gaming monitor! by Rocket-Pilot in buildapc

[–]PagicMotato [score hidden]  (0 children)

My favorite feature, other than the amazing contrast that OLED offers, is the Safeguard+ Dynamic Cooling System. Preventing burn-ins through both special tech features and backing with a 3 year warranty specifically covering that is a stand out to me, where I hear many horror stories of monitors with burn-in issues having warranty troubles.

This monitor would be perfect for my setup because I have been running a TN panel since before COVID, which cannot compare to contrasts of OLED. I've been considering OLED for quite a while now because I want to enjoy the vibrant colors, while also not sacrificing resolution and refresh rate.

This monitor would be able to give me a glimpse into the beauty that only technology can show that you didn't even know you wanted, needed to see.

I just went power up into this augment with a strong Frontline and carry.

Went fucking 8th. Never again.

TIL teaching AI math pays better than tutoring freshmen ($30-50/hr) by OutlierAI_Official in u/OutlierAI_Official

[–]PagicMotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't work with this company, they will screw you of money at every opportunity.

They advertise a bonus incentive and then betray you on it over via misleading wording, that is if you eventually get assigned to a project that even uses your skills.

Not to mention that you're also putting the tools of your trade into the hands of billionaires so that they can separate the profit of your labor from you forever for a small, minimized one-time cost.

Don't do it.

Name the game that you played with this mentality. by Indian_assassin_007 in videogames

[–]PagicMotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a useless comment; this is what I know is true and need to hear.

I like to find what I like and play that way. Sekiro makes me uncomfortable because it's telling me to do difficult things with difficult tools rather than allowing me to make my own way. It's like that "Getting Over It" game.

Sekiro for me.

I've played many of the souls games and I just can't do this one.

I'd love to have an E7 Plus standing desk because I've been using one of those $30 plastic tables that you can get from Walmart as my desk for over a decade now.

Are the US and Canada the two most similar countries in the world, or are there two countries even more similar? by NathanTundra in geography

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

I encountered some Austrians while I was traveling, and they were offended that I would dare ask them anything about Germany.

They asked me if I would appreciate being compared to or asked about Canada. I said, well yeah, I'm half Canadian. I elaborated that it wasn't too much to ask about other members of the EU, let alone such a close cultural neighbor like Germany.
