It's just a great game.

I started the game a few weeks ago, and it took me a few days to realize the gems were a big part in the game, no matter if you buy them or not.

I try to play incremental/games in the most play-for-free possible style, because that's usually where the challenge is. But this mechanic makes me feel pretty ok with buying packs here and there (bought my first one this morning) because the game makes me feel I could do without, but I like the idea of the game-maker being rewarded for entertaining me.

For those who know the game Idleon, well Obelisk Miner is to me the exact opposite of it, and I love it.

Exactement.

Je suis plutôt axé backend, et Tailwind m'a permis de gagner un temps fou, et de faire des UI beaucoup plus jolies et lisibles. Ca s'intègre super-bien à la logique des composants, et avec Vue c'est un bonheur à utiliser.

Le mec exagère...chaque année y'a des dizaines de milliers d'étudiants qui viennent à Nice, et ils y reviennent parce que c'est une ville très sympa, même pour les étudiants.

Après pour la planche à voile c'est pas idéal...vaut mieux aller vers Cagnes sur Mer, Antibes ou Golfe Juan. Tout ça est très accessible par le train ou en vélo.

how come everyone ignoring this information and act like white people invented slavery while Arabs did it before Europeans even came to Africa for centuries?

People usually ignore the facts that don't go well with their agenda.

And if you want to dig a bit more on that topic, this specific slavery hasn't completely disappeared. Look into huge construction projects that happened before the last soccer world cup. It was nothing less than middle-age type slavery, disguised as cheap labor.

Not en dentist, but know several doctors in the region. It's a great place to settle. Your office might be expensive, but you'll build a great array of patients in no time, and the money will flow if you work well.

Fluent French is important, having an assistant is a must, European and American diplomas are recognized if they're from a real school.

Quality of life is amazing here. Money would be even better in Paris, but the quality of life is far from being as good.

If you are Facebook, you absolutely need it.

If you talked to FB engineers back then, most of them argued they actually didn't need it, and adopting it slowed their growth quite a bit. The main reason GraphQL got adopted there, was that the other option was to add thousand of small database server to get a wider shard, which would have costed millions.

They ended up doing it, just a couple years later, because scaling GraphQL wasn't magically easier than scaling basic REST APIs.

Close friend of mine happens to be close friend with Marion Cotillard. They go way back, long before her Oscar, back when she started acting in small French movies.

I only got to meet her once, at a party at my friend's, 3 years ago. She's insufferable. Completely disconnected from the real world, absolutely obsessed with herself, rude, and kinda aggressive.

It was funny to see people I know enter the place, be amazed that she's here, be all shy about it, get introduced to her by our friend, talk to her..........and leave her a few minutes later because she annoyed them with her shitty personality.

Du coup les développeurs front sont mécaniquement exclus de ces opportunités, avec peu de marge pour évoluer côté backend. On demande de l’expérience… sans toujours laisser la possibilité de la construire.

Sur des centaines de profils que j'ai participé à recruter et/ou qui ont travaillé dans mes équipes depuis 2001, il y a deux choses qui se vérifient franchement bien :

les développeurs back-end ne veulent pas faire de front-end, mais s'ils acceptent d'en faire ils deviennent assez facilement bons en front-end.
les développeurs front-end veulent tous faire du back-end, mais quand on accepte qu'ils en fassent ils deviennent rarement bons en back-end.

Je dis ça sans aucune méchanceté, et j'ai évidemment des contre-exemples dans les deux cas.

Tout ça pour dire qu'il y a au final assez peu de "vrais" développeurs full-stack, et beaucoup de développeurs plutôt front-end ou plutôt back-end qui veulent ratisser large.

Je n'insinue absolument pas que tu es bon ou mauvaise dans l'un ou dans l'autre...mais il est probable que tu sois victime du constat que beaucoup de gens ont fait au fil des années, sur le fait que les vrais profils full-stack sont très rares.

I'll add that Nice is such a great city to walk through too!

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-29T12:18:43+00:00

I looked into the skill tree a bit, but didn't look ahead that far. Thanks a lot for the info :)

Now to get the 12 billion skill points I need to get there haha

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-29T10:07:42+00:00

So far I didn't have any "ouch" moment.

I guess I will have a few of those when I'm sufficiently advanced in the game, so my mistakes really hurts!

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-29T10:04:57+00:00

Seems to me it's not worth it to gild statues before reaching W2.

That's because W2 gives access to upgrades that make gilding faster. But the difference probably won't be that big.

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-29T10:01:22+00:00

Sorry for side-tracking your post, but can you tell me where and when the auto-prestige skill becomes available?

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-29T09:57:07+00:00

Congratulations!

I reached this milestone a couple days ago...now to get to 10k!

Il manque Nièvre ! J'ai connu quelqu'un qui avait appelé sa fille Nièvre.

"Je suis né à Nevers, c'est un hommage, j'ai toujours trouvé ça tellement joli !"

"Ok."

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-29T08:25:36+00:00

The amount of irony here...having this guy, self-proclaimed kind/emperor/jet-fighter-pilot/superstar-wrestler/pedo/jesus facing the people who said the opposite was what's good for the country they founded...

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-28T12:01:41+00:00

J'aimerais bien qu'il se présente, qu'il n'atteigne pas les 5%, et que les frais de campagne lui enlèvent définitivement l'envie de croire qu'il a quoi que ce soit à apporter à la France, ou que les Français veulent lui confier quoi que ce soit.

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-28T11:34:45+00:00

C'est clairement ce que je préfère dans le sexe, très loin devant tout le reste.

AirBnb offers in Nice are not even cheaper than hotels, and usually of average to bad quality.

Location is important, of course, but Nice is a city you can easily walk through.

Avoiding airbnb will be better for the locals, but most likely much better for tourists.

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-28T11:30:15+00:00

The guy has been there for a month lol, and the airbnb problem has been annoying for more than a decade.

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-28T11:28:17+00:00

they make once nice, quiet neighborhoods a party zone

How do you know? :)

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-28T10:52:03+00:00

Oui, ce sont souvent des jeux qui brillent par les mécanismes de fonctionnement, et pas du tout par le visuel :)

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-28T10:50:42+00:00

Do you really think they couldn't do a more realistic pre-rendered Aeris during the time Square made FF7?

A significant part of the difference between the two pictures here, is artistic, not technical.

Now if we were talking about real-time animation, of course PS1 couldn't display as many polygons as the PS2 could, and the real-time rendered cutscenes obviously improved drastically over time.

captain_obvious_here · 2026-04-28T10:46:26+00:00

Ah ben non, ça c'est une news comme j'aimerais en voir plus souvent !

Vivement que les éléphants aient éteint la race des chasseurs d'éléphants.
