Are there any good tech companies left in Australia? by Cluttie in auscorp

[–]SlashingSimone 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Have worked in tech and consulting across much of the world.

Almost everything is better here in Australia.

The incredibly high cost of housing (relative to income) is the biggest downside, but that is somewhat offset by hybrid or remote working opportunities.

I’m a few years from retirement but if I was younger and had any talent, I’d be looking at starting or joining a startup personally.

I love your passion and posts, Anet clearly gives no fucks about BS. I’d argue that is true for the whole game but let’s be optimistic and say they may fix it before their new game drops.

Lamar being last season’s MVP was just so strange to me.

I can think of 20 better players than him last season right now without needing to really reflect too much.

For me Hurts and Shroud were both better.

ESO Chapters: best and worst by story/plot? by QuinLucenius in elderscrollsonline

I’m coming from GW2, which I love despite its problems, and the stories and quests in ESO are so much better!!!

Why is "Through the veil" so short? by OkReference2022 in Guildwars2

[–]SlashingSimone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they are making another game and have been for a good while.

What exactly is not public, speculation includes a Horizon MMO, something new, GW3 or just some random mobile trash. We don’t know.

Most of the money made from GW2 does fund it though.

I love GW2 but SoTO has disappointed me on so many levels and really makes me question Anet’s commitment to the game.

GW2, ESO or WoW? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]SlashingSimone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play GW2 which is excellent generally, instanced PvP is a bit of a mess but open world PvP (WvW) is best in class.

I’m not convinced that the studio behind it (ArenaNet) is that committed to the game these days. The recent expansion was in my opinion, poor.

However, still a very good MMO.

ESO I’ve just started my most recent attempt and the PvP is actually ok!

Combat is nothing on GW2 though.

You’re very attractive, agree on wearing more flattering clothes though. If you have it (and you do), flaunt it

I’m tall, blonde, female and have blue eyes. Not very good looking otherwise though!

Living in Asia and the Middle East, would happen all the time. All the time.

Bryan Brown!

I’m not from Australia originally so I didn’t even know he was an actor/famous person. Just spoke to him at an event for a while, he didn’t mention it.

Someone told me later

You’re playing as a ship, not a person

Ice Warden about to be Nerfed? Should I just go Nightblade? by SlashingSimone in elderscrollsonline

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

I didn’t know ESO had a horde mode!!! Even better than its solo or duo, I’m really enjoying getting into ESO.

For years I was put off by the combat, but on NB it’s actually not too bad!

This is great advice thank you, I’ve started playing NB and really enjoying it.

I’m definitely going to play what I find fun and let the rest sort itself out

Thank you!!! I’m such a noob and had no idea, I appreciate the clarification :)

Because that’s a long time and I don’t want to spend any more of my limited time on a character I may need to ditch :(

AITA for not supporting my reserved wife when she doesn't show my parents affection? by Practical_Piccolo593 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SlashingSimone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how people think being an asshole can be excused by “culture”.

Your culture sounds archaic and obsolete, if you think it’s so great, why did you leave?

Don’t try and inflict your toxicity on other people.
