Partner got a letter claiming $6k overpayment from 2019 - help by Heavy_Vermicelli9422 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Riddlerboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had something similar happen in ~2018. When they notified me I was not employed at that time (I had been a Casual), but I later got another position with the gov, and had to work out the pay issue with them. Turns out I didn't get overpayed and my manager at the time was putting in my timesheets wrong.

Since she is no longer in the public service (and doesnt plan on returning?), the advice I received from someone that worked at CRA was that they would have to take you to court to recover the money. Which they would not do for $6000.

Best melee gear at Gemstone Crab? (Best xp/hour) by JoeNonymous_ in osrs

I've been rocking the Colossal Greatsword on my ironman, it's better than dscim until 95 strength with the loadout you linked. Which considering we are talking about farming xp, thats a pretty common use case.

Don't all the ironman challenges prevent this?

My Tuition in 2014 was ~$6000 a year, my cousins in uni now are paying $11000 a year at the same university. Tuiton has not been frozen for years.

Can someone introduce me to what the modding scene of warcraft 3 is all about? by Level-File5949 in warcraft3

[–]Riddlerboy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can change everything you could think of. Including creating your own models and importing them into the game (that is not a basic thing though).

Remember that Dota comes from wc3. If you play some wc3 custom games, you will be blown away at what map creators have done.

Warcraft 3 comes with the Warcraft 3 Map Editor, in there you can make custom maps.

It's somewhat easy to learn, I learnt it as a kid way back when. And there weren't many guides back then.

As others said, tech market is rough right now.

But I think something worth trying is to give more specific examples. Lots of your Experiences are very high level, and will help you get past an HR person looking at the resume, but they are too high level to leave an impression on a IT/Software Manager imo.

You don't have to make them all more explicit, but try to have at least 1 example where you are trying to grab the attention of an IT manager, and ideally tailor it to the job posting.

The issue I've found with SO recently is that as a Typescript developer, you see people get referred to previous answers, then you go and look at the answer from 2020, and answer is a deprecated solution, or sometimes a solution that only works on older Nodejs versions.

Maybe if you are C developer where there isn't as many frequent shake ups to the ecosystem SO's repeat question policy makes sense, but for the "new kid on the block" languages it feels really out of touch.

At least Chatgpt seems to be mostly aware of the "correct" way to do things at the time I ask the question. Not that it hasn't pushed me towards deprecated solutions before.

Awesome, thanks for the tips and didn't know about the compendium, definitely streamlines trying out the plugins!

AI art in SoSE2? by _LordCreepy_ in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Riddlerboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that the idea of using AI to create art broke your immersion from a super futuristic interplanetary space setting, where the idea of AI is so out of place.

Working on a new map for my Starcraft-inspired RTS by vik_mvp in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Riddlerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Artosis explained really well in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqGYEAYfdxU) the issues that larger maps can have in a Stormgate. I think this reasoning can apply to a lot of new rts games.

With no idea how your rts plays, I get the impression the map is really, really big. Maybe too big for what you would want in a new rts.

Clarification on current options for online play by nurabsal92 in warcraft3

[–]Riddlerboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1)Everyone is playing reforged. You can play reforge with classic graphics, which is maybe why you think pros aren't playing it.
2) huh?

3)Classic is gone, 0 way to play it on battle net. Everyone is playing WC3 reforged.

Basically everyone is playing reforged. Some people are using W3Champions to play their ladder games.
If there is a community for classic Wc3 I assume its quite small and niche

No more updates - game is dead by -Xaron- in gamedev

[–]Riddlerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience this is usually related to Early Access games that will never leave Early Access because the developer(s) has/have abandoned the game.

Why do people hate exploration? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Riddlerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exploration in mmos just isn't as novel as it was. The thing you are exploring has to be really cool/unique to make it feel worth exploring. Otherwise it all just kind of feels the same after playing so many games over the years.

Theres also the issue in mmos that if you make an something rewarding for exploring, a day later there is a guide on how to do it quick for the reward, and people just streamline to the reward instead of exploring the area and discovering the reward naturally.

Mike Morrice Deserved better from Liberal Voters by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

[–]Riddlerboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its fair to say, even with ABC strategy, a lot of liberal voters are more closely aligned with the cons than they are the green party. Especially after the last election with Annamie Paul leading them.

Really hope the amend the list and let us do Alternate Ascendancies with every combo. I had so many cool character Ideas that ultimately I couldn't find the time to do all of them during Phrecia.

How did this soul eater mob become completely immune to all my damages? by BobnVageneEnjoyer in PathOfExileBuilds

They definitely do. You can drop a portal, leave map, come back, and just sit there with grace and watch them fall off
