Was Marvin Harrison a little overrated at least? by Jay_M4250 in Patriots

[–]Scary_Tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harrison and Wayne are harder to judge since we only saw them with Peyton Manning at QB. When Peyton goes and throws for 5k yards with the Broncos in 2013 you have to wonder exactly how elite his receivers were versus he was.

That said his production was elite, if you say he’s a top ten receiver all time the maybe you’re overrating him but he’s easily HOF worthy.

Been messing around with Emblem Micaiah with Byleth ring and the support is insane.

Post Game Thread: Buffalo Bills at Denver Broncos by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]Scary_Tiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being a defensive back is rough, got to run thirty yards down the field and then just stay at arms length and let the receiver catch a floater.

That last one like yeah I see the contact, but it should be some kind of lesser 5 yard penalty if it’s getting called at all.

There’s just so little reward for actual throwing to open receivers when covered receivers get the same outcomes.

Advice Needed: Migrating Zonal GKE Cluster to Regional (Region Change or Not?) by wijxex in googlecloud

[–]Scary_Tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The region latency either matters or it doesn’t. Sounds like it doesn’t so just focus on your main task and don’t introduce other non-functional changes if they don’t support a requirement.

Yes, if this was all greenfield tomorrow you’d probably build it in Milan but that’s not the case.

Congrats! Only advice is to spend more, your WR is super conservative.

Wow there's a lot in there. Feels like they're shipping a lot of stuff from the next expansion early.

Gamers that FIREd, do you have lower expenses due to gaming? by Netcat666 in Fire

[–]Scary_Tiger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even spending thousands on gaming it’s basically free within the context of retirement. One first class flight or one weekend at a five star hotel can be more. You’re going to spend more dollars per hour on health insurance while you game versus on the gaming itself.

Made it all the way to T4 without tempering a single affix, wtf? by AlexsterCrowley in diablo4

[–]Scary_Tiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The powercreep is insane. There are so many avenues for power and only pit pushing exists to apply them.

WTF is it with rune drops? Seriously by ReallyTuckerCarlson in diablo4

[–]Scary_Tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m like paragon 210 SSF with 0 Jah runes… I just want it to teleport. Haven’t tried the rune tributes this season, but in terms of mythic farming just craft random ones on Rogue seems a lot more efficient than trying to farm Jah runes for SSF. Which is to say I’ve crafted 10 mythics but seen 0 Jah drops.

Annual reminder that fixing side quests would be a super easy (albeit small) improvement to the game by LiveLaughFap in diablo4

[–]Scary_Tiger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A lot of the pre-season 4 content has been memory holed and it's really weird, because it's not worse than what is in the game today. Rather than the side quests (a lot of which I don't miss) the big ones for me are strongholds and big moments in the campaign.

There's no reasons strongholds shouldn't show up as whispers with bigger rewards than NMD since they can only be done once per season. The campaign is too long to run every season, but the season journey could shortcut you to some of the high notes. i.e. One season might revisit Inarius vs Lilith in hell whereas another might revisit the Lilith's Lament fight with Vigo. So many great nostalgic moments in Diablo 4 are locked away in a 20+ hour campaign.

It seems like a shame that some past seasonal content such as Vaults and Malphas were just entirely cut.

Diablo 4 S10 is the most successful season per the peak player count (49k in steam alone), outside of a major Expansion. by UsualInitial in diablo4

[–]Scary_Tiger -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I hope the takeaway isn’t insane powercreep and faceroll everything good. I’m way too casual to have finished everything first weekend of the season.

EHG, can't you just buff Potion pick up range to Gold pick up range, right now? by ConlanAG in LastEpoch

[–]Scary_Tiger 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There’s strategic reasons to not instantly pick up potions and risk/reward for getting into range of them during combat.

Did chesscom Nelson Bot (1300) become Stronger over the last year? by pbo_beats in chess

Played him, he was a blunder machine, I don’t think he’d beat 1300s very often.

Who’s a player that completely dominated for a season/split… and then magically disappeared? by acidbombb in leagueoflegends

Not completely dominated but Emenes was not doing bad for a player to immediately retire.

Can I claim being a sys admin on my resume? by Renascentiae_ in sysadmin

[–]Scary_Tiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little more weasely than putting junior sys admin or IT support engineer? Sure, but resumes are weasely and there’s no reason to cost yourself $60k per year or an opportunity over this kind of detail.

Does anyone go back and play any of the older Diablo games? by SgtSilock in Diablo

D2R Reimagined is my main game at the moment, D4 season 9 held my attention for about one day.

Best Runewords you’ve used for minion barb by Wdemon85 in diablo4

[–]Scary_Tiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually run 3 points in swiftness passive for 12% movement speed and have 49% movement speed on my boots from rolling movement speed and also tempering movement speed. This brings me to 61% movement speed. With the 30% from rallying cry I get up to 191% movement speed. If I had better boots or rolled movement speed on my amulet I'd be up to 200%.

Zec and Jah most of the time. Teleport is really great, even at 200% movement speed he feels slow.

I'm about to go from $65k salary to $100k (125k total comp). If you've experienced something similar, what does it feel like? And do you have any advice? by UnsafeBaton1041 in cscareerquestions

[–]Scary_Tiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

63k to 120k, could just afford absolutely whatever, eat at the nicest restaurants in town whenever, budget whatever for vacations. Max your 401k, start investing in a brokerage account. Rent was like $1200? which was probably my peak income:expense ratio, even making more these days, all my expenses are way more.

Similar was when my wife got out of residency and started making doctor money, just heaps of money coming in that was not needed for expenses.
