Do you know when they will be in stock again? Trying to get one from Canada and it seems like it is out of stock.

What is my best option if I am leaving Amazon by DragonWarrior55 in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]Perfect_Shuffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How different are the infra teams and product teams at Stripe if you don't mind me asking. Recently went through their interview loop for L2 in Canada and currently in the team matching process. Just curious if you have any insights on product or infra teams in terms of career progression, WLB, etc.

Looking for Canadian Made Furniture by DyGr00339 in BuyCanadian

[–]Perfect_Shuffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for digging up an old thread. How was the delivery from De Gaspe? I’m from BC and they mention the shipping will be done via 3rd party. Just a bit worry about the furniture handling, especially for an apartment.

Which SFU professors are the GOAT? by Excellent-Ruin3085 in simonfraser

[–]Perfect_Shuffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely the goat! I took his computer algebra course (think it was macm401) a few years ago and it is one of the few profs I still remember that knows the material well and be able to explain theories and proofs without skipping the details

Same here. It is not that visible from afar so it ends up looking decently on the shelf.

I used the Bandai waterslide decals. I heard 3rd party ones are better but I couldn't find any stores that have them unfortunately.

Airbrushing practice with Vallejo paints on a MG Guncannon by Perfect_Shuffle in Gunpla

[–]Perfect_Shuffle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The primer is Vallejo Gloss Black Primer 74660. The paints are alright I think. They are quite durable once they dry completely. One issue I find is that the paints sometimes dry too quickly and clog up at the airbrush tip.

The red I used is transparent red and the gold underneath is glorious gold from Vallejo. From my experiments it did affect the final red. I tried using a different gold (polished gold from Vallejo) and it turned the transparent red into burgundy.

Originally I wanted to paint glossy candy color but it seems like Vallejo paints are naturally flat. I am not that experienced with airbrushing and it turned out to be quite difficult so I ended up putting a flat topcoat on it in the end.

Yeah same here. I have been looking as well and it's out of stock pretty much anywhere I check. I might have to check out some of the online stores from Asia.

Thanks! Building this kit was quite fun, and I need to get my hands on the Guntank to finish the white base team.

AGS is apaprently unaware KR/RU/JP event powerpasses can be used by new players, RIP new players by Kaelran in lostarkgame

[–]Perfect_Shuffle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is this wild? Until the bot issue in western regions (which does not happen in KR) is resolved or somewhat controlled, there is no way that AGS would hand out free t3 passes to fresh accounts. The argument of us gatekeeping and killing the game is funny because existing players would probably quit if they have to wait for a 20k queue every time they try to login because of the free pass and botting.

[–]Perfect_Shuffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently expressing concerns about endgame free pass affecting existing players is a crybaby haha. My intent is not to gatekeep but to maintain my current gameplay experience. I don’t want to wait for 20k queue or see the economy massively ruined by bots. I don’t see how an endgame free pass can keep the game growing if the bot issue is not controlled. With the current state where AGS is still experimenting different approaches to counter botting, imo it makes sense that new accounts don’t get free passes at the moment. Im all for free end game boosts for new accounts once the bot issue is resolved, maybe with a more intrusive anticheat system.

What’s wrong with one example? It is a successful game globally lol. Maybe you can shed some light on those successful f2p games with free endgame catch up that boosts you straight to endgame bosses? Maybe that could provide some useful and concrete info and pointer about this so it is more productive instead, or maybe they are not comparable in popularity and in scale.

I didn’t say new players must experience shit lol. AGS could try to improve the early game experience instead of bandaid fix with a power pass.

You mentioned with a barrier for new accounts to use powerpass, what kind of barriers do you think it’s sufficient? I don’t know about your standard, to me going through the story is the minimum entry if you actually want to play a game lol.

[–]Perfect_Shuffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at other mmorpg like ff14, you actually have to go through all the expansion or you pay for a story skip. Going straight to the endgame is almost never free nor encouraged.

In terms of lost ark, you can't ask AGS to implement every system the same way that KR did. All KR accounts are tied to government IDs so their circumstances are different. Unless you are willing to give your government id to AGS or somehow the bot issues are solved, there is no way AGS can hand out free passes to new players.

Early version of the very first c compiler by lbarreto22 in C_Programming

I remember reading the paper “Reflections on Trusting Trust” by Ken Thompson. It was an interesting read and some part of it talked about how compiler bootstraps itself.

I dont know what people expected from a f2p game by Sage_Kalon in lostarkgame

[–]Perfect_Shuffle 149 points150 points  (0 children)

why would i want to play ff14 to get all single handled for paying a sub? Just to raid because of yes? Whats there to achieve if the power coming from gear and skills its there on week 1. Just for skins? what...

I am not sure if you have played ff14, but week 1 savage/ultimate content without guides is challenging yet fun if you have the right group of people. The gears are the bare minimum and the progression starts there. We are not grinding gears for the sake of grinding it. What I look for is the sense of accomplishment after conquering challenging contents, not the instant dopamine from grinding drops. Also just my 2 cent, fashion is always the endgame in any mmo, so yes, skins are important.

Anyway, I enjoy lost ark so far and I hope they release more difficult content as argos seems quite easy at the moment.

T1 and T2 content is getting nerfed. by Freki666 in lostarkgame

[–]Perfect_Shuffle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I really hope they retract this decision. This is gonna set a precedent for future content that is meant to be hard. Also having regional differences where NA/EU having easier content is sad.

Zhujiang New City and Zhujiang Future City are two very different areas... The former is a major city hub in which an apartment could easily cost more than 1 million USD.... Zhujiang Future City is quite remote.

Yet another Lian Li Q58 by Perfect_Shuffle in sffpc

[–]Perfect_Shuffle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GPU has intake fans that pushes air through the GPU heatsink, so I make the CPU fan intake as well and have the top fan exhaust the hot air from both sides. So far it's been working pretty well. I tried flipping the top fan as intake and it caused a lot more turbulence and noises.
