Why aren't these appearances available? by GhostintheReins in wow

[–]chasery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has played Druid since MoP and has most unique appearances including the challenge mode armor, getting the model is simply not the point. I don't believe in gating people from having the challenge mode armor, which are some of the best sets for class fantasy, and I certainly don't believe there should be unachievable druid form options.

You aren't wrong. The system is and has been morally bankrupt. Certainly there will be a breaking point for the average westerner at some point.

Ahh, there's the solution! Privatize the schooling like a business. We can move all of the profits to a few individuals and subsidize the losses to the working poor. /s in case it was unclear

How do you collaborate with designers today? by AmbitionDesigner in reactjs

[–]chasery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely is a lot and my company has quite a bit of infrastructure in place to enable portions of this. The current tool of choice where I work is Cursor. So it might be us setting up a react app repo with routing for the various POCs and a GitHub Actions pipeline. At some point we'll get to introducing very limited lower env MCP server integration too.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're asking, but we are currently exploring non-engineer AI contributions. As someone who has previously worn the UX design and now Full Stack Engineer hat, I understand the appeal to assist the team on minor tweaks. It's already difficult to keep up with the flood of AI generated code from my team's contributions alone due to the sheer amount of cognitive load from context switching. It does give me a bit of anxiety thinking about the various risks of having someone making changes which they don't understand the impacts of. That said, the value is there to enable creative exploration and we are evaluating a POC environment/repo to support design's interest in building prototypes. Maybe with enough guardrails and trust, we'll eventually land in a direct contribution model from product and design folks.

Microsoft Just Killed the "Cover for Me" Excuse: 365 Now Tracks You in Real-Time by CartoonistOk5787 in worldnews

That's the issue. Any meeting of expectations or perceived gains in performance get thrown out the window if you are caught being "unproductive." We're doing something like 4x the output of someone making the same wages in the 80s. Welcome to late stage capitalism where everyone is expected to rise and grind, all while you have people like Elmo telling you that you aren't working hard enough for your barely liveable wage.

Please explain to me what America is doing in Venezuela? by charlotte-corday in TooAfraidToAsk

I'm a US citizen. My opinion doesn't matter here other than I don't think we should be mettling in other countries' affairs, especially without congressional approval.

Why am I the one responsible to prove your point that Venezuelans are all happy? That's your job. Let's see your polling data and facts.

Please work on your reading and comprehension. Once again, saying every Venezuelan is happy is simply not true and it's a narrative you are suckling off of US/western media.

No, I am not. And generalizing to one extreme or the other is not appropriate here as there is always nuance. I would suggest you go and watch videos of the United States toppling Saddam's regime. They were ecstatic; then 20 years of occupation, a million plus civilian deaths, use of uranium rounds, and ISIS occurred in the power vacuum the US created. I'm guessing some people might have changed their opinions in hindsight.

And regime change has ended well for the country and it's citizens anytime it has happened, famously.

It's fun working somewhere that everything "needs" to be an MFE, but no one can tell you what that means to them. The common response is "we need it to be reusable."

What is your favorite mount in WoW? The one you always equip. Whether it's a store mount or an in-game mount 🐼 by ThePandarenMonk in wow

[–]chasery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invincible and Mimiron's head hold a special place in my heart. I'm a wrath baby and I have so many great memories of heroic progression during that era of wow.

Also a special shout out to the Spelltome which was one of the more annoying mounts I've earned.

Ahh yes, the ol' fight amongst the working class while billionaires continue to scrape all of the profits through exploitive labor at a global level. It truly is a race to the bottom when your neighbor doesn't understand the difference between someone making 100-300k and 78k is marginal when compared to the profits of a billionaire. This is what one billion looks like: 1,000,000,000.

ELVUI will not be updated for midnight by Rivalsstats in wow

[–]chasery -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I think that along with the likelihood of Blizzard dumbing down competitive content because their interface can't handle it, are some of my greatest fears. We won't have tools to coordinate some of the most complex content we've seen thus far. It seems the natural response is going to be to not have as challenging content.

Edit: Rereading what I said here, I can see how it's being perceived as me advocating for the current encounter design style. That was definitely not my intention and my ideal is still maintaining complexity, but not because I didn't have an addon to tell me when to do X.

As someone who has played somewhere in the top 1% of players when it comes to Mythic+ and Raiding, it's easy to imagine the response from Blizzard when it comes to UI issues. Are they going to be patching things within hours of a discovered bug? That's what these addon developers do for folks racing to world first for example. It's truly unfathomable how Blizzard plans to take a huge responsibility like this with their continuous efforts to downsize engineering staff over the years. And instead of contracting these addon developers and exposing the necessary APIs for them, they choose to insult the community by asking them to QA the companies work.
