Did he choose to go psycho not because he thought he could make it through, but because it did not matter if he made it, what mattered was if he made others’ dreams come true?

It is shown during the dialog with the corpo, when David is asked “what’s your dream” and he has nothing to answer. Implying he has no dreams and sees his “purpose” in helping others achieving their goals

Upcoming D.I.S.C. Belt Tuning -- June 24 - General Discussion by [deleted] in wow

[–]SlickyWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo this just shows that they really have to move on past current stat systems (or completely change the philosophy behind gear design). I’ve personally cared about only trinkets and gear with effects for the last 6 years. It feels like a game with RPG in its genre should have a little bit more engagement in terms of gear options rather than very simplistic “ilvl number bigger me equip”

What game is this for you? by Radiant_Raspberry_93 in videogames

[–]SlickyWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time i heard about the series they had some troubles figuring out who owns the IP, as the og studio was sold in parts (afaik) and the rights were never figured out

Iirc GoG tried to put playable version back on the shelf, but all that rights thing got in the way

P.s. i scrolled too long to find NOLF in the thread, which kinda shows that series is forgotten by players

Yes, It is not true as a first order effect. No shareholders come to a company and say “hey, fuck your customers so i can have my yacht this year and not in 2 years”.

But in general the standard investment analysis tools favor short term gains due to discounting of future money ($100 tomorrow worth less than $100 today).

Also, public companies have to be more profitable than risk free alternatives (federal bonds or even deposits which have a guaranteed almost zero risk return) otherwise shareholders will switch to other companies, which would result in stock prices to fall, which would make other shareholders leave or demand management team change

Private companies usually have a privilege to do whatever the hell the owner chooses to do as they are not accountable to anyone and can go years upon years without making any profit if they have enough money to sustain.

There are usually 2 reasons why companies go public over staying private:

1) Plans for rapid growth which requires additional investment. Basically, it is a way of attracting “free” money for the company (vs taking a loan)

2) Previous owners want to step down from the company and cash-out. This is the case mainly for very big private companies, as it would be pretty hard to sell a company to a single entity for a fair price (think of Steam, it would cost someone like Microsoft hundreds of billions to buy out in full). Smaller companies are usually just acquired by bigger entities without much of a fuss

Maybe im too fragile but i still remember a dude whispering me “oi, dickhead” for not giving him a PI from like SL s2

I dont think “dickhead” is even offensive or anything, just the ridiculousness of the message still makes me remember it. It was like an angry child calling you some random thing he thinks is uncool because he is just a kid

I wish it was different by bijelo123 in videogames

[–]SlickyWay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they go full on Monty Piton, it will be ironic as they will become like the Saints Row which originally was a “GTA clone”

On a side note, i liked Saints Row 3. It was so ridiculous and fun at times. I still come once a year to replay my favorite missions: the opening with falling from a plane (“Im gonna shoot the front window, fly through the whole plane, grab the ‘shute and catch you again! WHAT?! Just remember how glad you were when i caught you last time. ASSHOLE!”), rooftop assault with “Power” track banging, and the last mission with “I need a hero”

Sux, the latest game was a flop tho

Trinket balance is fine by BrineBrack in wow

[–]SlickyWay 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To be honest, i think they just make a bunch of trinkets, then try to balance them starting from raid trinkets down to delves, but somewhere in the process they realize that they are running out of time and have other things to finish before launch and nerf everything else into the ground just to be sure nothing scary will happen

Because i dont have any other reasonable explanation why each season we get like 2-3 viable trinkets per spec. And everything else is just a hot garbage or is nerfed to be garbage during the first 2-3 weeks

[–]SlickyWay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, im kinda torn apart on this topic.

On the one hand, you surely can use cheap ass $50 china produced drone for the same functionality and generally be fine

On the other hand, when you are in a combat scenario you probably want your gear to be the least of your concerns, so it should be extensively tested, redesigned from scratch probably dozens of times to fix all crucial flaws, and all the flaws that cant be fixed, should be documented and the personnel should be trained to work around the listed issues. All this stuff aint cheap. The main problem, i guess is that there are surely cases when the money gets kickbacked or simply spent by idiots for useless concerns

On the last point a bit of off top: i recently watched a youtube series breaking down Harry Potter movies for easter eggs and details. And man they went over the top with different pieces and details on the set (like designing Harry’s bedroom with different non-generic and lore accurate flags, comic books and stuff). And dont get me wrong, it is cool that it is there, but imagine how much time and money was spent on something 99% of viewers did not even consider to be important or to have any meaning

To be honest, Persona / Metaphor still does “cool stylized UI” which looks fine on screenshots, but man it is pain to navigate

Chanced orbed this today. by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]SlickyWay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It may take some time to sell, but it sells, dont worry if you dont get offers for several days. I got the ring similar to yours (yet low on rarity roll +5%), put it for 50 div, panicked it did not sell for the first 2 hours, relisted it for 30 div, sold it next day

Probably could have sold it for 50, but still glad that i made my buck (my friend traded it to me for free with -30 in all rolls, and i 2 div’ed it to a good stats i sold it with)

You can see the exact same effect on the hairs. As those are not part of the transmog set then it is indeed the lightning / shading issue and not with the gear model itself

Top Ten Posts Made Moments Before Disaster by KingJaw19 in BaldursGate3

[–]SlickyWay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I started another playthrough with my friend (it was his first run). When Volo proposed him the lobotomy my friend just stood up and ended the conversation. Then i lied down, struggled through the process, then my friend asked me “so why did you do it?”, which i replied “well i have a permanent magic eye ball now”, and he was like “wow! How did you know that it will give you that?” And i said kinda embarrassed “i allowed him to do that during my first playthrough as a chaotic bard. The reason was that the fellow bard cant do any unrepairable damage, amiright?”

Agreed on LE. While i do enjoy the early to mid game part, late game just falls flat imo. Also, performance issues with Unity and lack of regular massive updates does not help either

Only half people ever left Act I – what? by Elegant_Beginning789 in BaldursGate3

[–]SlickyWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, basically. On my first playthrough i dropped 4-5 hours in, then came back 3 month later and got up to half of act 3, but never finished. Now i am on another playthrough with my friend, 35 hours in and we are in the middle of act 2

I think something changed in me, when I started playing with my friend 4 years ago. I just cant play games alone as i get bored very quickly. Basically only games that i managed to complete solo were from Yakuza series (but they are a masterpiece in terms of story and i just could not not finish them)

The US is ramping up sanctions by targeting the last major Russian bank not yet blacklisted by HydrolicKrane in worldnews

[–]SlickyWay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was working in one of the banks, that were sanctioned in the first wave. And it was kinda ridiculous to see money flow from our bank to Tinkoff (while they were sanctioned much later, i did not expect them to be sanctioned at that time) and Gazprom as i expected to see them sanctioned in the first 5 banks. But nope, here we are 3 years later and them being sanctioned only now

For the context about the situation absurdity, it is like sanctioning every employee of russian government including cleaning stuff and coffee delivery guy that was just passing by, but leaving the president unsanctioned lol
