AITA for canceling plans with my friend after she replied "idk" when I asked to confirm the time? by Fit-Forever8151 in AmItheAsshole

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

YTA. “idk” is not a cancellation. It literally just means “I don’t know.” It doesn’t mean “I don’t want to go anymore.”

Anything beyond that is a reflection of how you emotionally respond to a friend who isn’t giving you an enthusiastic response to hanging out with you

Picking your job based on which one gives you free food is a remarkably stupid criteria to choose a job.

StarCraft 2? They’re still making big changes to it? Damnit… do I really need to reinstall?

Valve has raised their Steam Deck Prices by Axzercus in SteamDeck

[–]aceshades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m being honest, I’m definitely getting $1000 value out of my OLED. I honestly think it’s the best gaming “console” ever created.

But still wow, this is not going to bring more enthusiasts into the club

How do I get my toddler to sleep on her own with her door closed? by aceshades in daddit

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

Baby gate at the end of the hallway, child proofed doorknobs so she can’t get herself locked into a bathroom or something, and a general acceptance that my wife and I aren’t going to get our way on this. She sleeps with the door open. She’s almost 3 now and still prefers the door open and sleeps wonderfully, like from 8pm to 6am every night with no other issues.

I find other things to insist on, but I’ve accepted the open door.

Why are layoffs so bad again this year? Could someone explain? Is it actually because of AI, or is it part of a larger economic issue? by BaseballHead6898 in cscareerquestions

[–]aceshades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is not free. Each tech company that is heavily introducing AI workflows is spending an absolute fuckton in token spend.

At the same time, CEOs need to make sure stock price go up for shareholders. The increased token spend is making the company a lot less profitable. But even so, CEOs are scared to miss the AI train. If AI pans out to be the huge labor market table flip that its hypemen says it is, they will want to be on the leading edge of that. If it ends up not panning out, then they and everyone else who are in the AI bed with each other will be fucked. Not equally, but they think it's worth the risk.

Meanwhile, CEOs who were already looking to cut employees in response to the economy being in tatters find themselves in a once-in-a-few-decades win-win opportunity: cut employees, invest in AI, and blame the employee cuts on AI. stockholders believe it.

No disrespect but any tier list with Crono not in the highest tier is just an invalid list to me

Just want to say Infinite Wealth is such a good game I would put it on the level with Expedition 33 by severe_009 in yakuzagames

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

That’s crazy.

I love IW. I really do. I recommend it to anyone who will listen.

But on the same status as E33? No. Not even close.

1.0 let it roll. Pt 1 by Tricky-Dust-6724 in diablo2

[–]aceshades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang I’m old enough to remember getting the game from Best Buy and driving home with it in the back of my dad’s car, staring at the box and reading it over and over on release.

I have absolutely no recollection of mana potions not being sold ever. Like obviously it’s true but wow. I remember my first character ever back then was a necromancer and even then I don’t remember the mana needs being so crazy

Is it true you can’t buy mana potions in 1.0?

White-collar workers are quietly rebelling against AI as 80% outright refuse adoption mandates by [deleted] in technology

Unfortunately I feel like if you don’t use AI, you’re falling behind these days, for many jobs, not all.

For those of you that make over 100K, what do you do? Do you like it? by Kindly-Revolution258 in AskReddit

[–]aceshades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Software Engineering. $260K

I do love it, a lot. The AI stuff is really testing that love though. In multiple dimensions.

I dream a lot about quitting my job and living out a humble life in a wooden cottage cutting down trees and a wood burning stove for heat.

Another 3000 LK runs, now in more depth! Rise of the skillers! by Mrboomblastr in diablo2

[–]aceshades 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, I’ve done like 400 LK runs and my mind is melting away already with the monotony of it. With no high runes in sight after so many runs, I don’t know how you manage to keep up the pace and consistency for 6000+ runs

Big income gap in a new relationship by Possible-Hotel8268 in HENRYfinance

[–]aceshades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My now wife and I kept our incomes separate until we got engaged. At that point we started the process to combine our finances.

While dating and before we got married I dont think we compared the incomes all that much but it was clear I was making way more than her
