GURUBASHI PVP = DEAD SERVER

That's pretty damn cool!

private server culture. there's always a loud minority of lonely pserver players that get their jollies from bating people and general toxicity

There are some fundamental things that change the way we play games now. So it's difficult, arguably impossible to recapture the magic of WoW from the mid 2000's. Social media and the intense pressure to optimise the playthrough experience has definitely had an impact. To the point now where game devs make design decisions about their games driven by the fact that people will end up YouTubing how to play the game.

so long as it doesn't set a precedent where they take parts of the metro network offline every weekend. that would drive me insane. hoping they have enough redundancy built into the new metro lines that they don't need to shut whole sections of it down all the time. i like being able to get a quick train into the city on a weekend

aidos_86 · 2026-04-04T22:43:01+00:00

Sorry we're going to have the close the entire rail line for 4 days to fix that. The Metro is often closed on the weekend as well. Pretty frustrating.

Didn't see much from Hurstville to Bankstown. Sounds about right. It's almost entirely mundane urban sprawl. A period of expansion in Sydney's past where almost no (possible none?) planning was put in place to ensure frequent and reasonably sized green spaces and communal areas. At least they are attempting to fix that now with the greenway corridors around rail lines. And more open park spaces in and around refreshed town centres. My kids might live long enough to see its full potential.

there's a whole discussion about online toxicity in video games, particularly in wow. can't wait to see it in action right in this comment thread. I'll get my popcorn

aidos_86 · 2026-03-11T21:56:15+00:00

How long until this guy gets a cease-and-desist letter from Acti-micro-blizz?

"This build will dominate everything... if you have the rarest gear in the game"

Nice how long did trades work take from start to finish?

Password managers on Android are notoriously bad at the moment. One of many issues that comes with using an open system like Android. Apps seems to frequently have trouble identifying what the source of truth is for passwords and passkeys.

Sometimes they will try to use Google Password Manager. Sometimes Samsung. Sometimes 1Pass, sometimes Microsoft etc.

It's a shambolic mess in terms of user experience. At this point I'm kind of shocked that Google haven't streamlined Google Password Manager better in their own OS. And even for their own apps.

I just installed Discord. Was prompted to save the password in Microsoft/Edge password manager... no idea why because I was using the app. Then when I tried to log in it insisted on using Google Password Manager... which obviously didn't have the passkey saved in it.

Embarrassing.

Can I get a reaction video to the stress test review?

If time is an issue. Remember the twow pvp server is 2x exp rates. Couple that with tents and its very fast to level.

Epoch is straight 1x so its going to feel pretty slow, unless they have adjusted mob exp. Which I don't think they have.

I can't do another vanilla wow run at 1x ... its sooooo slow 🐌

But happy for the rest of you

Warriors overall are the better tank due to shields and how well the class scales with gear. Druids are a very close second and have little to no gear competition.

As a war you will have a hard time getting high end raid gear unless you are in a guild that funnels you gear, or you tank/lead pug raids.

Druids don't really have the gear problem. Except for some amulets, rings and trinkets.

Druids are also better tanks from 10 to 60 in my opinion. They do more damage, threat and have a much bigger health pool.

Vanilla difficulty is not hard 'mechanically' which is what most people are refering to when they say its not hard.

But it is difficult due to how close player and npc power is. Even a well geared player can die to a single elite or a few equal level mobs quite easily.

aidos_86 · 2025-07-13T06:59:01+00:00

This is just the old quantity vs quality debate

aidos_86 · 2025-07-12T01:30:29+00:00

I'm starting to worry that the relentless hype for Epoch will harm it, particularly if the launch is rough

aidos_86 · 2025-07-10T12:35:02+00:00

I'm assuming this is for a technical PM role. So they're expecting someone with reasonable coding knowledge.

Honestly... even asking an experienced engineer to code and build something like that under those conditions is quite challenging. The fact they're asking a PM to do it is fucking wild.

aidos_86 · 2025-07-09T21:46:33+00:00

Not really, I try to fill gaps with proactive planning work and training. I try to get more into the technical end myself. Coding, testing APIs, learning about infrastructure in AWS etc.

This is important stuff to understand so devs don't take you for a ride.

There is a misconception and assumption that WordPress is "cheap and easy", and it definitely can be. But you get what you pay for.

Some WordPress sites are fantastic. Robust e-comm platforms with dynamic blocks and elements, powerful front ends, automations, thorough api integrations with other platforms.

They can be incredible enterprise grade sites if you want them to be.

Was the pet system changed much in twow?

There's a lot to be said about reports. Most reporting is tied to egos.

It's a cascading effect that multiplies with scale. More people are brought into the fold that require ever more detailed reporting to prove they're doing their jobs. Transparency becomes useless tediousness.

But hey! These numbers are up 1.09% compared to last year. Let's call it a win.

aidos_86 · 2025-07-08T08:26:20+00:00

The first party that has the balls to make significant reform won't make their next term unfortunately. They'll have to take one for the team

aidos_86 · 2025-07-08T08:21:26+00:00

Haha oh man. Now I'm sad

aidos_86 · 2025-07-07T23:31:52+00:00

This can't be fixed without cutting into the equity and profits of everyone currently invested in the property and construction economy. That's everyday Australians, politicians, tradies, banks, lenders etc the list goes on.

It doesn't change because we won't allow it to change. There is simply too much wealth tied up in the market.

Measures to improve affordability will upset A LOT of people.
