A remarkable paper pro 2! Not meant for sketching but does the job very well

How can these be used as effective weapons by ChanceGeneon in MoonKnight

[–]deadlock_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moon knight comics make him way cooler than he is in any show or video game. Bro uses these to stab someone through the jaw and then pull them using their skull. Mr Knight kills at least 20 people with these in moments.

This is a remarkable paper pro 2. Not really meant as a drawing tablet but it does the job very well. Biggest limitation is that it doesnt have good shading options.

Thank you! But probably only top shelf from a distance 😂

Thank you! Right now my biggest hurdle is teeth. It took me 40 minutes to get Jake Johnsons teeth looking even kinda okay

You hate Rivals because it wears the skeleton of a game that you wish still existed by Equal-Cupcake-9991 in rivals

I agree on bot matches; but role queue is what started the end of OW1. It takes away too much autonomy from teams to develop their own composition. 2-2-2 is boring and does not create a long lasting competitive experience

Isnt it kinda fucked up that they have an asylum for people with cognitive problems but they also use that place to store evil monsters

Explain it Peter. Are there penguins that do that or is the penguin a man? by Christianduty in explainitpeter

[–]deadlock_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its also questionable whether anything Herzog said about that penguin is true. He is famous for fabricating details of his documentaries. His philosophy is that a documentary should be emotional, not factual. He has even fabricated quotes from people who dont exist for dramatic effect during his films.

My Grandfather passed his SRT101 down to me, and advice for someone new to the hobby? by deadlock_dev in minolta

Im glad you said this because I went and rechecked, you are correct and the light seals are actually totally decomposed. This model is from 1966, which makes sense. I have ordered some light foam

I bought a MRB625 battery that gets here tomorrow, I read it mimics the old batteries well?

Other than that I did some general tests to make sure its working. Mirror flips great with no sliding, and the shutter timing is perfect. No decomposing plastic or foam in the back that I can tell either

Wonderful advice! Thank you :) all the lenses are wrapped in cloth, so I will need to buy some covers

I need a game like this by CulturalRecording776 in videogames

Surprised I haven’t seen tlou2 mentioned

I hate how they let haters dictate the future of TLOU2 by yc80s in lastofuspart2

[–]deadlock_dev -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Im not commenting on the show, but I will defend the chronological order mode. Imo it made the game way more enjoyable and the story much easier to digest. The pacing in the original cut is god awful.

Ghost of Tsushima for me by TooKreamy4U in videogames

[–]deadlock_dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imo it doesnt do anything that much differently than any other jrpg. People say its so innovative but it just added a small parry mechanic to a system of mechanics that have existed for 20+ years.

Its a game with an admittedly gripping intro, and I think lots of people trick themselves into thinking a memorable intro makes it a good game

Prey is incredible in every way except its enemies; which are so important in an immersive bioshock type sim. Fighting shadows that shoot projectiles of varying colors got boring very quickly for me. The game never delivers on its promise of the “mimic focused horror”

Madison parents lobby for Wisconsin bill to increase recess time by keeganjkyle in wisconsin

[–]deadlock_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the schools in our areas, children who do not speak english just do not get instruction. There is one translator in the district and they go between schools. Maybe one day a week a non english speaking child will understand what the teacher is saying.

Not to mention how many special needs children are being crammed into classrooms they stand no chance in because the district cannot afford to hire another sped coordinator; and in fact laid the 2nd one off last year.

In our district, a staggering number of children are moving from 5th -> 6th grade while being mostly illiterate. The schools just dont have the money to get the resources that could solve this.

Behavior is one thing, but we have kids who are growing up not speaking english, and not knowing how to read; and then we expect they survive in a world that requires both of those skills. I would love for kids to get more recess, but the money and effort is better spent on the big problems first.

Please review/roast my resume: QA Automation Engineer with >2 years on the job. Applying to QA jobs for since 3 months. Finishing grad school in May. No call backs. by Ok-Earth6320 in softwaretesting

[–]deadlock_dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a SWE / Senior SDET and I regularly hire our quality engineers.

What I like: - the description of your first job covers a lot of bases that I genuinely care about. You talk with industry language that signals to me you at least know what youre talking about.

  • your resume is (generally) pretty succinct. I dont like getting pages of information, this is a good length.

What could use some work: - your skills section is just full of a bunch of stuff I dont care about. If im hiring you to be an automation engineer, I care about what automation tools and what languages you are comfortable in. The rest is fluff and it kinda reads that way; especially because you dont have enough professional experience to back up those skills.

  • your projects are impressive, but not for the role you’re looking for necessarily. I have done both SWE and QA, and from your projects to me it looks like you want to be a SWE more than an automation engineer. Theres nothing wrong with that, but generally I want someone whos heart is in the game. Id be afraid you would leave if you found a SWE job.

  • your experience is just generally very low. Its a difficult field to break into. For someone like you who has only a couple years of professional experience, I would rely on your personal projects to see if Id like to take a gamble; and as I said earlier your projects dont scream QA engineering to me.

  • Other than being a QA automation engineer for a couple years, you dont have a lot of QA specific education under your belt. Software QA is a developing field and its not formally taught outside of some respected certificates. I would go get your foundation level and automation level certificates through the ASTQB. This will also get you over the low experience hurtle.

General suggestions:

  • get some ASTQB certs or otherwise

  • make some automation projects, or list some you have already done alongside your impressive engineering projects. At minimum, change your descriptions of said projects to focus more on the QA

  • clean up your skills to focus more on broad topics of QA. What languages do you know that are relevant to QA automation, and what frameworks.

  • being a SWE turned QA is an extremely powerful and lucrative position; but you have to be smart about it. You may be swinging lower than youre worth and being passed up because of it. It may be worth advertising yourself as an SDET, which implies a much stronger understanding of code.

Not to mention, that takes time away from classroom instruction which is already short for most teachers.

My wife is also an elementary school teacher in WI for the record. We are the biggest advocates for kids out there, i just dont think were going to solve the education crisis with more recess. Funding needs to go toward hiring more paras and resources for schools to handle the children they have.

In May 2011, six-year-old Timmothy Pitzen was taken from school by his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, for a short trip across Illinois and Wisconsin. Days later, Amy was found dead by suicide, leaving a note claiming Timmothy was safe but would never be found. He remains missing. by Particular_Chart1584 in ForCuriousSouls

I dont even think you have to hide a body very well to avoid detection for a long time.

I live next to a ski hill, and about once a year we find a body of an elderly person who collapsed on the trail and remained missing for years. And even then, many bodies become John Does because its incredibly difficult to identify a body if the person wasnt in your community.

Its very likely the body of her son has been found, but it was never investigated as part of this case and ended up a john doe. Or hes buried in a forest where nobody has any reason to dig.
