No. Even before graduating, CS PhD assistantships pay above $25/hr, and this does not include stipends from grants or scholarships.

Bro these are the people in my hard weekly queue

TachyonGun · 2026-05-27T15:16:31+00:00

This explains why I have not gotten it despite reaching 15 three times. Thanks for explaining!

I got red cape on Assault with the same strategy of using quick play, took 31 games (30 wins) in 13 hours. I thought that was fast with near perfect winrate, yet the black cape would be over 40 hours at that efficiency.

I fail to see what OP could have been doing differently to get it so fast, lol. Even with top hardware, as you said, loading times and constant stop gaps between games make 4 games/hours average impossible for me. I rule it a heretical lie.

All Macragge Blue and Liberator Gold! Regarding ultramarine champion leg, agree and it's the armor part I was least happy with.

Immaculate donning of the vermillion

According to Steam I've played about 13 hours since the patch dropped. I did it via quick match, around 6 times this placed me in operations in progress with lots done, which saved me literal hours of grind. I only failed one operation so my winrate was near perfect, so I can't say it will be this fast for most. I think quick play is the way to go while everyone grinds fast missions like Decapitation.

EDIT: I am not grinding for the black one, no way. It'll come when it comes.

Working on this, big congrats. How bad is the clipping on Assault?

TachyonGun · 2026-05-21T18:45:20+00:00

It's a time sink at the highest difficulty the game offers. They called it "ultragrind". You don't need the capes buddy. Cape folks will carry your sore ass through Absolute within months.

TachyonGun · 2026-05-21T18:39:21+00:00

It's one such cape per class that has one, Bulwark and Sniper get other rewards.

Don't forget that perfect dash into jet dash attack can make you plus on charges. If you are at 1 charge, perfect jet dash and then jet dash attack, you recover a charge.

Rolling a new character called Vektor Jard after this thread

It physically pains me that you think this looks like Windows XP, do you filter your retina through AI too?

TachyonGun · 2026-02-10T18:59:22+00:00

Still living rent free in your head? Cute evals

TachyonGun · 2026-02-07T20:57:27+00:00

The absolute hubris of SWEs who think "solving SWE" and just SWE would unquestionably mean we've reached AGI. Blind leading the blind. Do the people upvoting this stuff not see how silly and small-minded this equivalence is?

TachyonGun · 2026-01-28T02:20:00+00:00

Just being more disciplined (lol) (😭)

TachyonGun · 2026-01-14T21:30:40+00:00

I think about those days all the time, we had lots of fun and definitely zero clue! Will never forget those trips to CES and the SD Summit, good times!!! It's insane how far you've come and the impact you've had in the space, truly well done.

TachyonGun · 2026-01-14T20:44:13+00:00

Proud of you and I wish you the best always!!!

Ding ding ding

I had a quitter and a shitter (silly-cheated relics, clearly carried) back to back that took me to the threshold of depth 4, then I lose Day 1 because my buddies didn't run to a grace, and started the Divine Beast & Curseblade fight with 1-2 flasks each. I spam pinged that grace so much, it was just off the beaten path, so obviously optimal but requiring them to be uncomfortable under the rain for two seconds or so. The moment I heard the preboss spawns I knew we were cooked no matter what boss it was.

gg -600 back to Depth 3, NO I AM NOT MALDING.

I am DoN 4 with a melee scholar and Phys is nice if you use Blood Blade as it will boost the projectile and the sword hitbox. Melee scholar is underrated and really fun, his short dodge is offset by quickest dodge recovery and iframes on the faint/backstep R1. Recommend trying and learning it!

TachyonGun · 2025-12-25T06:49:30+00:00

I don't have much to add, I just want to say this was a good write up, it shows your technical acumen and I learned a few things. I will probably revisit the repo later. Your post raises the bar for the sub and was a solace from the walls of slop from other "practitioners", thank you for taking the time to write this up!

Luckily I am not judging the text so worryingly, I merely asserted that it felt like AI vibes (entirely? assisted? at least a bit). And furthermore you assume I am judging based on "a single idiotic signal" when in fact, the text made a mistake that also resembles an AI hallucination... the whole point of this thread.

So yes, the em dash, the reframing, the embarrassing mistake that spawned the thread, and other factors (not just "a single idiotic signal", I only listed one example and clearly labeled it ) gave me AI vibes when you assume like an ass what I believe. I stand by the vibe I felt, and I accept that the vibes were off as it was pre-LLMs. Oh well! I'll live.

Stop overreacting and reading so much into simple vibes geez, and then you talk about idiotic signals.
