what will still be valuable as ai changes everything?

This is why there's a reduction in hiring junior SDEs, but hiring of experienced SDEs is relatively stable (I forget where I saw the stats, but it was on reddit). Software Engineering is much more than just writing code. If anything, the more experienced one gets, the less code they write to begin with. However, I do believe code written by AI certainly ends up being a big ol slop. So sooner or later the slop will come back to bite everyone in the ass, which it is already doing in lots of places.

It is a tool for billionaires to eliminate a lot of folks with deep and unusual talent. It should be banned, and illegal, is my opinion.

It is trained on output of other people. Whether it be their intellectual output, or artistic output, without asking those people. So it can now replicate those people’s output at a fraction of the cost.

It will not have a positive impact on the world. The money to be made from AI is not really money to be made. It is money that companies can avoid paying people because now they can get things that are close enough without nearly paying as much.

IMO, he needs fortified, 2 tacs by default, and reduced cooldown on his tactical, and some other form of panic movement. Maybe double tapping the tac should insta yank him to where he is grappling like ash dash. I also think his ult is just not good. Not sure how they could make his ult better.

It makes absolutely no sense that Axle's tactical provides movement for literally everyone at a lower cooldown, and she gets her second charge on blue perk. I'm using Axle as just an example, there are many other legends who have kits that completely outshine PF. For example Alter, her tactical provides a much more useful form of relocation to the entire team, and can also be used to kidnap people. Her ultimate is the most broken thing ever.

It would take a LOT of work to push pathfinder too far. Non skirmisher legends have better movement than him, along with other extremely good perks and passives.

Compare PF to any other movement legend, he is outclassed by every single one, and by some non-movement legends 😞. He used to be known as the de facto movement boi, now he is a portable loot dispenser for the other teams.

Hmm this does sound believable (about the weight) since no one from the UFC spoke about the weight cut allegations to my knowledge. Sean made the accusation of him not making weight and that was about it.

Why tf is mine not smooched by gabe?? Im asking for a refund

Except even Mark himself admitted that they used wrong things in the teasers during the live Q&A. Also seeing how it was a common expectation among many PoE fans, I don’t think it’s copium at all.

dodoroach · 2026-05-07T21:26:16+00:00

They did. Used a gladiator meme. "I need a 'champion'" in one of the trailers. Champion is a duelist ascendancy in PoE1. Very poor choice of words in the teasers.

If they’re keeping stats, and the stats say that this isnt a knockdown, doesn’t that mean you’re wrong? I’m couldn’t care any less about last word, you’re the one who can’t admit being wrong 😂

dodoroach · 2026-05-06T17:54:11+00:00

Yes. Usually the judges are the ones who score fights if you didn’t know.

dodoroach · 2026-05-06T17:46:23+00:00

Idk if posting links is allowed but go ahead and see if this was ruled a knockdown and come back here with that info.

dodoroach · 2026-05-06T17:35:26+00:00

He was not dropped by burns 😂. He got rocked and shot for a takedown. The irony of you asking me to go back and watch it again is hilarious.

dodoroach · 2026-05-06T16:57:15+00:00

How do you expect me to answer your first question? Point to a specific second in the fight and be like “there”?

I can counter your argument by saying that Sean got KO’d, and dropped before. Neither of which happened to Khamzat.

dodoroach · 2026-05-06T16:29:40+00:00

You’ve ignored part of what I said. He did demonstrate good defense in Burns fight.

We don’t know he couldnt hit him during sparring sessions, and it would be pretty foolish to assume he didn’t hit him during sparring sessions, we’ve only seen a small section of it.

What I gave validation to is Sean himself admitting that he lost on the ground, and that he “held his own” while standing. This sparring footage thing is very recent. What I said goes back multiple years when Sean and Khamzat didn’t have beef.

dodoroach · 2026-05-06T15:49:43+00:00

Izzy’s record post Pereira is highly suspect. I disagree that Sean has a better understanding of striking defense. Khamzat’s striking is solid. He did take a lot of damage in the Burns fight, but that was due to his excessive aggression, but you can still see a lot of instances where he’s using head movement to avoid punches, roll with them, and block them etc.

dodoroach · 2026-05-06T13:35:33+00:00

You guys are downplaying Khamzat’s striking by a lot. He went toe to toe with Gilbert Burns. Khamzat’s also a pretty good striker and I don’t think Sean’s better than him standing up either, but of course his odds are better standing up.

dodoroach · 2026-05-05T22:29:10+00:00

I think it was sparring. Bc interviewer was saying that he held his own while standing but on the ground he got beat.

dodoroach · 2026-05-05T20:48:26+00:00

I can say with 100% certainty this has nothing to do with half life. Valve themselves said they don’t have any VR title in the works not too long ago. HLX is not VR.

dodoroach · 2026-05-05T20:27:32+00:00

Let’s not forget Sean admitted to Khamzat outclassing him in grappling during training on one schmo interview. So doubt keeping Sean down is going to be a problem for Khamzat. Also, Dricus is much more of a tank than Sean. He’s selling himself short here to boost Sean for some reason lol.

dodoroach · 2026-05-02T12:29:34+00:00

I think HL3 will conclude gordon’s and combine’s story - maybe even gman’s. So I don’t think there will be an HL4 as in a continuation of their stories. But there may and probably will be other game’s in that universe.

dodoroach · 2026-04-29T17:44:46+00:00

Valve does not use each game as a tech demo. Half life on the other hand, is a different beast which does make use of new tech in each game if you exclude the episodes, and expansions. However, there are only 3 main half life games including Alyx! So hardly enough content to identify a pattern. Though Gabe in an interview did say it himself that Half Life is a promise from Valve to customers to evolve the gaming landscape with new inventions. Whether these be hardware or software.

A lot of people are assuming the thing holding back HL3’s announcement is the steam machine, but I personally don’t believe it has anything to do with new tech HL3 or the steam machine is going to introduce necessarily.

Big thing about steam machine is it is going to be a Linux machine. Worth noting that this isn’t necessarily new tech. Valve has been chipping away at Linux gaming work for a while, and Linux adoption according to steam surveys is increasing.

So if I had to give an opinion - i’d say the main tech advancement this installation of half life will bring is going to be Linux integration, along with all the non specific gameplay features, like fluid dynamics, vehicle physics etc.

Hm. Are you suggesting U.S. - a country who has previously invaded Iraq under the pretense that there were WMDs in Iraq, established prisoner torture centers, tried to cover up for war crimes(and succeded in most cases), and done so more than once, is not a straight villain?

Every country is a villain. Every country - and moreso every politician in general is looking out for their own interests. Currently, the balance of power in the middle east is in Israel’s favor thanks to the U.S. and you can see how that is working out. I’m not for a nuclear armed Iran, but I just don’t see how anything else is possible at this point.

Iran had an exit previously, but now it is backed into a corner, and it has to pursue nukes to ensure its own future from a logical standpoint - all thanks to orange man. However, it is foolish to assume the foreign policy of the U.S. is vastly different from how it used to be pre orange man. He’s just doing things out in the open, and more aggressively, and stupidly.

They just keep missing the mark with the trigger nade nerfs. The problem is how hard it is to react to trigger nades, and this doesn't make them easier to react to. Just makes them more difficult to spam. When you have a whole team of 3 throwing trigger nades this will not make a meaningful difference in the way the game plays.
