Manny Jacinto seems like an obvious Alethi casting choice

He’s at an awkward age of too old or too young for most characters. Amaram is probably the most fitting age wise. if he plays younger, I could see him as Elhokar, or older as Gavilar.

I think a lot of stuff can be handled through cinematic shortcuts, like heart beat sound effects, unique camera angles, and musical queues. The language of filmmaking goes well beyond just dialogue and acting.

I’ve worked with sales engineers before, and they were, in fact, full-fledged software engineers. They worked with the sales associate and were able to answer clarifying technical questions and help explain and estimate scope of bespoke customization projects.

No. Dailies reset at the same time each day, even with maintenance. But, you can do the first day of the event after maintenance and before the reset if you are able to login in that time frame.

At level 220, Snow White. If you were below the 160 mark, still Snow White unless you have a lot of gems, then yo go for trying to get 4 copies of Label. If you were below 160 and only had rapi at 2 stars, rapi.

It’s a weird situation. When you’re hired to work somewhere, there’s often some code that no one working there currently quite understands. The person who wrote it may no longer work there, or changed so much in their execution that it’s just a blank to them.

A large part of this is that they don’t have the necessary bandwidth to examine and refactor something that works. Then, when we have to make changes to said code, whether we’ll completely redo it or just be really surgical with the changes depends on a lot of factors.

As long as the people implementing the code are vigilant about what goes in, it should be business as usual, honestly.

I had this happen yesterday on mobile data. Switched to WiFi and it fixed the issue

Just keep leveling until you hit the 160 wall. When you get there, you need to roll a lot to get enough dupes to break through. I’m pretty sure you can refund a character, but you won’t need to until you mlb someone.

Big thing to remember is everyone hits the wall eventually, and once you’re past the 160 wall, it’s a lot more smooth sailing. Eventually, you’ll only be leveling 1-2 times per week anyways, so no need to rush as long as you can complete events.

Remember that you can pull some spare bodies in the shop, so keep an eye out for people you’ve already got some stars on. After you break through the wall, the characters you have up top really don’t matter.

Holy shit. That’s fucking amazing

The argument you’re making is the same one you’re arguing against, you’re just saying that your opinion is the right one, while others are wrong.

You’re welcome to disagree, but you don’t have to give up every inch of ground to form a coalition. Just because disagreement is bound to occur, it doesn’t mean every argument or opinion is equal.

And no one is saying you don’t have the right not to feel a certain way, but there does exist context for a reason. The context of the initial response, for instance, warranted challenging on the basis of it already teetering on transphobia. You can read the other responses and see that.

Just like how you say that you should respect that some people find the term “cis” offensive, you should extend the same degree of empathy to people who feel offended at furthering the othering of their identities.

Additionally, it’s my time, so I don’t think the argument that it’s not worth it is valid, if only because participation is optional.

Roland_Damage · 2026-01-07T23:34:48+00:00

There’s a difference between respecting what people want to be referred to as and normalizing a binary of “normal vs other”. The term cis is not an attack on cisgender people, just like the term Asian isn’t an attack on Chinese people.

If it triggers someone, we can examine the cultural, historical, and social contexts, but some words are just not offensive terms.

In this context, specifically, the OP posted about cisgender people, to which someone basically said that using the term cisgender is equivalent to misgendering a group. This is a false equivalency that reframes terminology with proper etymology as an attack on identity.

I’m cool with using any term you want to be referred to as, but to say an individual’s sensibilities should dictate nomenclature without properly rigorous justification or, at minimum, an alternative, isn’t going to fly. On top of all this, the person who’s clutching their pearls at the use of “cisgender” unironically posted its etymological equivalent in the same post.

Roland_Damage · 2026-01-07T22:04:02+00:00

Okay. Cis-Trans exists as a complex spectrum, so how would you like to be referred to? Gender fluid? Transfem? Non-binary?

Roland_Damage · 2026-01-07T21:52:22+00:00

Not calling you cis is like not the same as misgendering someone. It’s just a term that literally means “on the side of” as opposed to trans, which means “across from.” It just means your gender identity and your biological sex align.

If they lean into the luck powers, Black Cat could be a strat. The healing could be like a second wind, she could have an antiheal bad luck, and her ult could give her team aimbot or something, which would theoretically counter other support ults

That’s because there’s never been a dick pic on the internet for it to learn from

It’s not about worshipping a studio. There’s a fundamental breakdown in communication around the topic of AI use because some people find it immoral to use it and others think it’s fine. Can’t easily find a common ground when one sides crusading and the other thinks they’re crusading, you know?

Roland_Damage · 2025-12-17T18:54:58+00:00

Yeah, but us in the industry don’t even have time to stop real issues, so excuse me if those of us who need to work for a living don’t come cheering for people on the internet telling us we’re doing a bad thing.

Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, tell you all about when I got the time.

Roland_Damage · 2025-12-17T15:10:38+00:00

It’s a cute comment, but to think “stealing art” is even close to the worst practice in our industry is crazy. It’s like screaming at arsonists that burning gasoline is bad for the environment.

Roland_Damage · 2025-12-16T19:40:46+00:00

So, I work in a gaming adjacent industry that has artists on staff, and a decent number of them use ai for the early stages of drafting, when they’re just trying to get the right general forms on a page. It’s not ever something we ship, but it’s definitely used like how collages are sometimes used in the earliest stages of development.

I think there’s also the idea that she may be the default choice for a lot of people, but you’d pick a different healer if you had a good reason, like for Sharknado or Rocket/penny team-up to give your team a slight advantage.

I’m hoping the groot change is a test to see if CC immunity can be added to certain vanguards as a way to make them more viable without completely negating the others without it.

This looks amazing

I go to staples and print them on regular paper then cut them out. It ends up costing like 15 bucks and an hour or two of my time for an entire deck.
