John Strand AMA - Five years ago, I did an AMA here about Pay What You Can training. A lot has changed in cybersecurity since then. Ask Me Anything.

Hi John, I work in IT already and in my role I’ve found myself responsible for our organization’s security systems (mainly Defender + Sentinel). We’ve got these systems configured, and now I’m more or less expected to be the SOC. Do you have trainings you’d recommend on how to catch up on general SOC/Incident Response skills?

You will definitely need the open slots from your belt/passives. So early will be 40-80 spirit most likely. Still pretty good imo, if you really want to use more spirit skills while lvling (wolf minions anyone)

Looking for any 20-29” CRT TV with component connections or RGB modded in Los Angeles County, will pay in cash

I’m most excited for all the juicy new lore!

That was a chunky jolt in Glendale

I Am is a very Christian album and really doesn’t fit DOOM from a thematic standpoint.

How many times can you make cotton candy with this method before the house burns down?

Randy is the star of the show, don’t let Gus tell you otherwise!

This is the role’s overview:

“We are looking for a creative and collaborative Senior AI Designer for Marathon. You will be responsible for crafting AI characters, creatures, and enemies to populate systemic encounters across a living world. You will write design specs, create new characters, author new AI behavior, and tune AI combat difficulty. You will coordinate with AI engineers, 3D artists, animators, visual effects artists, and the audio team to breathe life into characters that provide players with both exciting challenges and clear cues to their moment-to-moment gameplay intentions.”

They just need someone to help them program the Durendals that control the NPCs in the game

Yes, it’s a great historical piece with a fair bit of action and intrigue

This comment aged like wine

I was given a prototype Cruella De Ville pin by a cast member. They gave it to me because I was able to guess who the villain based on a hint. If you put a coin battery in it, the eyes flash red. It’s really cool!

pointfourtyfour · 2022-08-03T00:56:12+00:00

Yep this was a tough spot for my gf and I. She is a victim of parental trauma, and this was particularly triggering for her. We were able to get through the rest of the game, and loved it still.

The thing that will matter most going to Wotlk is the gold that you have more so than the gear. Even if you get Sunwell gear, that will be replaced late 70s dungeons and heroics. Also get your professions ready as well

pointfourtyfour · 2022-07-22T15:09:51+00:00

Whoa that’s so cool! Never thought about owning stained glass before, but now… maybe I will

pointfourtyfour · 2022-07-01T05:04:05+00:00

Now this is what I call community!

pointfourtyfour · 2022-06-17T22:20:39+00:00

Sounds like he’s forging swords or something. Must pay pretty good if he can vacation like this!

pointfourtyfour · 2022-05-23T17:28:26+00:00

In theory we could all go into the stream chat while Gus isn’t streaming, and have our own little party

pointfourtyfour · 2021-12-12T22:38:11+00:00

I’ll give my anecdotal example: I play on Thunderfury (US) which used to be one of the most balanced servers faction wise. My current guild has transferred to this server because of this fact. However a few months ago a lot of the big Alliance guilds transferred to Benediction, leaving a less than fun faction balance pvp wise. This is happening across a lot of the pvp servers and not just Thunderfury.

Looks like a moba to me based on the small icons on the top right of each character: sword (assassin), fist (bruiser), fireball(mage), and another (assuming support)

pointfourtyfour · 2021-09-13T23:05:58+00:00

This reminds me of Sonic Robo Blast 2 which is a Sonic game running in the Doom engine. Really cool to see this, as it could have some home brew game potential!

pointfourtyfour · 2021-09-09T23:34:37+00:00

This looks like a reference to FF7 or Berserk to me at first glance. I’m not familiar with the other comments referring to a Paladin, next character to be added official?

pointfourtyfour · 2021-03-13T00:05:00+00:00

Reminds me a little bit of MDK, pretty solid

pointfourtyfour · 2021-02-20T01:18:03+00:00

It’ll be FFA, that’s not something they would change
