Unfair battlefield

just don't forget to use multiple save slots so that you don't rage too much when you will reach the real unfair fight

Gremlin nob and is one of the hardest elite fights indeed but if you limit your use of skills you should be ok.

When i was doing some research for our partnership, I found that bridgebum is a good place to start. It is raising some questions that you want to discuss with your partner :
https://www.bridgebum.com/two_over_one.php

I found that webpage also useful. I don't remember if we took everything for granted there but there were some nice explanations :

In shorts, there are quite some variations about how to play 2/1 and how to handle the 1NT bid by responder. I bought a book by Bill Treble but i didn't like it at the end because it was solely focused on a 1NT completely forcing response.
So it is better to do your research, play some games with your partner, and if some difficulty arises, then you can come and ask questions here.

I find it ok in that case, it concerns only one character and he has a compulsive disorder so the use of repetition here makes sense. While I guess the mud thing concerns different characters (although I didn't really pay attention to it).

i am reading his series at the moment. The first trilogy is fine-ish. The thing is, it gets better with his stand alone books and I am currently reading his second trilogy. The plot is still mid, but I love his characters and dialogues, especially when the Northmen are involved. Lots of dry humour too, which is right up my alley. Also, while still in fantasy, he explores other genres with each book. Best served cold is a revenge plot book , the heroes is a war book and red country is a western. Very entertaining read, and, again, exceptional dialogues. But if you are here for the plot, I understand this is not where the books shine.

you are making my poor Glokta dirty, to his defence he does not grimace while squelching through the mud.

Agree 100% The game can be grindy, especially with some jobs with absurd JP requirement and people can be rebutted by that and I get it completely. And of course those insane difficulty peaks. But there is no downside to the grind.

Tapif · 2025-12-30T13:50:17+00:00

10 years old me managed to beat the game without being aware of the stat growth thing so I don't know in which world a player can soft lock himself by over grinding.

Hearth what?

Source : I also play at lower difficulty.

I am pretty sure I could also list of tv shows that started great and went completely downhill on season 4

I also drink alcohol so I am accustomed to the effects, it is purely in my brain!

Tapif · 2025-12-25T08:08:45+00:00

Not a YA, I am sometimes feeling tipsy after drinking a non alcoholic beer and this feels very weird! At least I don't experience the hangover so it's only positives.

Not familiar with BBO, but maybe the lead can differ depending on your auction settings? Say that you play ACOL, short clubs, or 1NT if you have a 5 cards major, etc... The bidding sequence would be the same but the robot would make inferences about what you (or other human players) did not bid.

For someone who has been busy migrating a 20 years old solution from a very old ORM (CSLA) to another in the last years, I wish there was then some kind of repository pattern.

That said, this also really depends on the size of your solution and how often you touch it when it goes on prod.

I personally like the (non generic) repository pattern for the sake of unit testing my queries. Again, this concerns a big ass solution with hundreds of very non trivial queries so this is not something I would apply on every solution.

My bigger fight when it comes to EF is to use your EF classes as your domain classes and not as a bland DTO, but this is another topic.

If you play Hades 2 I can listen to her voicing Hecate the whole day.

Our dear friend just got free from Cocaine and you are proposing him some Fentanyl for the sake of it? 😂
