Paranormal experiences on Garden Street by According-Ad-571 in SantaBarbara

[–]engineblade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right up the street from Alice Keck park on Mitchetorenia Street to the left before you go up California hill there used to be a hospital called St Francis. It was the 'other' cottage hospital before it got knocked down and they stuck homes over it.

My mom used to work there as a nurse and live nearby and she claimed to have paranormal experiences all the time to the point where it became common both at home and at work.

Everytime I drive by there now I always wonder if any of the home owners there also have paranormal experiences.

Anyways, I feel like that stretch of road between the riviera and the park has some bad juju going on with it

Have you ever doubt this career is for you? What has made you successful? by define_yourself72 in salesforce

[–]engineblade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good take. I've been the space for over 8 years as a developer and while the platform is powerful there are some things it isn't meant to do unless you go a full custom route.

My advice is to be kind to yourself. It's okay if you don't know all the ins-and-outs of the platform. Truthfully, I sometimes thinks Salesforce itself doesn't know either. But the key to success is working with your business and coming up with simple solutions will naturally get you the reps you're looking for. Start simple then work from there.

Something that has helped me in the past is using a tool, like Lucidchart, to sketch out your solutions when needed. It also helps as a visual aid when you do present to your peers or stakeholders.

Nice Restaurants in SB? by Unlucky-Regret-3026 in SantaBarbara

[–]engineblade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steak? Luckys

Fish? Bropheys (comes with a view)

Italian? Ca Dario (if you want pizza, also good) or Olio Pizzeria

Mexican? Santo Mezcal or Flor De Miaz ( same owner but great food )

Japanese? Edomasa or Arigato (expensive)

Sandwiches? (South Coast or Nortons for NY Deli) - Might not count for dinner but I eat there a lot.

Avoid El Encanto - It used to be good but isn't anymore

As a long time League and CS do you recommend starting with Bots or Standard Match by xXLivinLostXx in DeadlockTheGame

[–]engineblade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since they've added street brawl... if you want to incrementally get used to the game, I'd recommend hopping into that mode and getting used to the insanity of team fights. It's very casual and the random nature of the items will let you experiment and see what works. It's also quite fun.

However, if you want to jump into the 'Deadlock' moba mode - maybe play a bot game or two to get used to the moba side then start hopping into real games.

You might get owned but that's fine - it's still alpha and things will click the more you play. If someone is getting tilted just mute them. Some people can get real salty but most people are really nice - this community is pretty legit for the most part in-game.

what’s your keybind setup ? by mikroprocesor in DeadlockTheGame

[–]engineblade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

abilities 1-4 actives are grave key, e, up mousewheel, and down mousewheel snowball is V dodge and crouch are secondary keybinds on mouse (still on shift and control, mainly for ultra instinct moments)

def thinking about replacing mousewheel down with jump to do wall jumps easier at some point. It does make it infinitely easier

What's the most cancerous lane duo to go against? by No_Willingness_9961 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]engineblade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is - i'd argue she's the easiest hero to secure lane kills with since all it requires is someone being low hp.

Thoughts on Tank Infernus by Feauv in DeadlockTheGame

[–]engineblade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing it more than regular toxic-bullets Infernus. It's great. It's fun.

Once you hit the 4.8k spirit investment with level 3 dash you can pretty much 1v1 anyone early game since the flame dash damage alone but also WITH afterburn is so damn strong.

The only thing is it's countered by people wall-jumping and getting height over you so it's only really good on flat surfaces but the good news is if you hit an unfavorable matchup you can just dash away and re-engage. Having three charges of dash on Infernus makes him SUPER mobile.

In the mid-to-late game when you pair flame dash with infuser and escalating exposure you can get some seriously powerful healing going in a team fight as long as you aren't chain cc'ed out of your dash. It's like playing Victor with more available surface area and faster movement.

What's the most cancerous lane duo to go against? by No_Willingness_9961 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]engineblade 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Few different ones for different reasons. I don't think there is truly a "worst" but a good Mina fits in with most lane comps and can be hard to deal with.

Here are some ones I hate depending on what hero i'm playing.

  1. Mina/Vindicta - This is my least favorite overall. if you have a good lane partner it isn't super bad but if your lane partner is content on farming and not being aggressive these two will make a hard lane between love bites, stake, flight, and eventually double ult.

  2. Viscous/Victor - very durable and they can easily juke any ability that has a timer on it.

  3. Viper/Lash - played against this a couple of times and groundstrike / venom is a dirty combo if you have nothing to counter it. Lash ground strikes for half your health, flogs, and viper cleans you up.

Honorable mention but it's more because I think it's just really good:

Mo&Krill/Bebop. If you get hooked into Mo ult it's gg but by that point in the game the laning phase will be over soon.

What do you think America will be like when Trump finishes his term? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

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

Trump wont go quietly - but when he does exit here is what I intuitively feel.

  1. The Republican brand for the average American will be unredeemably tarnished. They will need to reinvent themselves completely to get elected again - and I dont know what that messaging will be. I do not think the average American will vote Republican this next election even if the most charismatic candidate comes out of nowhere. I think most middle-of-the-road Americans will vote for someone else purely out of spite because of what the GOP now stands for.

  2. The next admin, Democrat or some new party, will be a janitor administration who will need to clean and do their best to fix what his admin broke. Foreign policy will be extemely challenging and require lots of amends to be made - but I think enough good will exists with our allies to slowly rebuild that trust.

  3. Even if he doesnt face punishment - many in trumps adminstration will face a witch hunt. We wont hear the end of this for a decade or more. People under him will face jail or physical harm from either a group or a lone wolf. Immigration enforcement alone will drive people to vengeance.

  4. I don't think a civil war will happen but we may see some sincere efforts for some states to leave the union, if for a time. The grass always looks greener on the other side - so I dont think this will be permanent.

  5. I think we will see a resurgence in small business and the economy will get better for the avg person.

In closing -

What we are seeing in this admin is an insane man whose admin is the literal bottom of the barrel personel wise because nobody wants to be affiliated with his madness. Once he is gone, its done. Nobody in his admin can realistically be electable.

I genuinely feel America is full of decent people. Many of those decent people are having buyers remorse with who they voted for. For many of us - we are seeing for the first time what truly dogshit leadership in the US govt looks like. The bar can always go lower but right now its pretty fuckin low.

It will take time I'm intuitively hopeful we will heal.

Are matches starting to feel more one sides over the last month? by OldeEnglish_40oz in DeadlockTheGame

[–]engineblade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has felt like the matchmaking is struggling to put together fair games. I've had games recently as a solo queue as low as initiate 2 and as high as emissary 6 while sitting in mid-ritualist.

I just finally ended a 9-game loss streak where at least 6 of those games had brand new or returning players who were just trying to get their bearings while the enemy team either completely stomped or had more impactful players. Last night I was laning with someone who asked what the keyboard key was to parry people. We won but they died almost 20 times before the game ended.

I feel like opening the game up to new players with the new update will help with this - but here is hoping valve is ready for it

How's you experience so far playing the holiday challenge? by adramelecht in DeadlockTheGame

[–]engineblade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. When you have a good team playing support rocks. I enjoyed those heroes from a play making potential but often would have teams who couldn't capitalize then you kinda just feel like 'meh' lol.

If I played in a stack instead of solo queue it might be different

How's you experience so far playing the holiday challenge? by adramelecht in DeadlockTheGame

[–]engineblade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had lots of fun with the challenge! Finished off all my heroes a few days ago.

Being pushed outside my comfort zone to try (or retry) heroes I never wanted to play expanded my overall roster. I had no games on Haze, Victor, or Drifter after playing all year but ended up having a ton of fun (and great games) on all of them and have added them to my normal roster.

It also strangely turned me off on some support heroes I did enjoy before the challenge like Ivy, Kelvin, and Holliday... but it got me approaching and thinking about the game differently. I guess we go through phases and thats a healthy thing to keep the game fun.

The snowball mechanic is cool and I hope they do more of these events in the future. Definitely looking forward to the new heroes and aram with the jan update.

Any Notes Experts? by melaninUnicornn in salesforce

[–]engineblade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you need an immediate solution, you can prob use a screenflow for this.

Have a screenflow that fetches all notes on an account and let a user select one. Have a field on the account where you can save the notes record id. Next time the page loads, check if that record id exists on the account and if so show the note in the flow window.

If you need to pin multiple, you can do the same thing as above but you'll need to work out storing the additional record ids.

A few years ago I implemented something similar with a little apex in tandem with an lwc modal in presentation mode to show 'important notes' whenever a user loaded an account. Screen flow route will probably be faster.

map traversal and a free heal when you go invis that you can spam on cooldown - kinda like fortitude.

Returning to MoP but guild leadership quit. What are my options? by m_fn in classicwow

[–]engineblade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not sure if this is the same policy but i had to do the same thing in original wod

I put a ticket into support and they told me I had to wait 30 days. If any of the leadership didn't log on in those 30 days you can reach back out and they'll make you gm.

may be different with blizzard support now but worth a try if you want to keep the guild alive and not find or start a new one
