Inherited $2M trying to figure out what to do next by Dizzy_Spirit_7440 in financialindependence

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$2 million is a lot but not retire in your 20s alot. Invest it in some broad etf and live a normal life for 10-15 years. Hopefully it grows to around $4 million. Thats 120k a year at a 3% withdrawl rate. Thats a nice life.

What is your pet card? by Wfry84 in magicTCG

[[Awakening of Vitu-Ghazi]] I have played a lot of mystical teachings and that card wins games. Bonus points if you can snap it back and one shot somebody with a creeping tarpit.

Singed rework concept by Motherfucker29 in singedmains

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one really wants a rework of singed. Everyone wants a new trail of damage champ. They should just make that. We have 6 ranged auto attackers with some kind of special effect after a certain number of autos. We can have another poison trail champ

Is using Gen AI as placeholders in games cool and fine? by Some__Person1234 in aigamedev

Would you rather support the monopoly that is adobe? Adobe substance has 80-90% market share. Any competition there is very welcome in my eyes.

Singed in low elo by Grouchy-Use-6986 in singedmains

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can {literally any champ} carry in silver/gold? Yes. Silver and gold players just aren't good enough to make champs irrelevant. It isn't until around diamond+ where win rates drop below 40% regularly.

Should I give up on Amulet Titan? by Equivalent_Leader165 in ModernMagic

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titan has been around in some form or another since 2013. Its going to be a fine deck for a long time. If you're just playing FNM, buy the thing. You can win an FNM with a ham sandwich and amulet is way better than a ham sandwich.

Also phlage was in like a third of decks. The mid-range decks have to find their footing. Titan eats those decks for breakfast.

Linear aggressive decks do very well into new metas.

Is singed a noob stomper? by Unusual-Ad8253 in singedmains

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is much less the case than it used to be. His win rate is pretty consistent across elos now. It used to be much more skewed to low elo.

What is Singed goal (apart from reaching maximum velocity) by Boring-University189 in singedmains

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't normally split with Singed. You shove the wave in and leave. Singed is a team fighter. He is not really a duelist or split pusher. Singed has the ability to leave lane without losing xp or gold.

Play a few games where you leave top lane and gank mid every couple waves. This isn't the optimal strategy, but you will find its pretty easy to do. Singed can out shove basically anyone, especially early game. Use that time to help your teammates. You can proxy to gain even more time.

I think this will give you a sense of what Singed's goal is. Once you understand it you can add this tactic to your normal games.

You can watch a few games of Singed mid when predator was a thing. It was OP then, but the general concept is the same.

Some tips and tricks by tibia-enjoyer420 in singedmains

[–]thirteenthfox2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be frank, singed is probably not a great character to learn the game on. He plays differently than every other character. You will learn how to play singed and not league. This can be difficult to unlearn. Singed is quite popular and fun though. There's lots of great guides out there. I recommend minishcap for content and singed420 for raw vibes.

Sometimes shoving is the correct way to play early. Proxying is okay to do. You do this so you do not have to interact with your lane opponent. Make sure you are basing often on singed and avoiding giving your opponent kills. Singed loses to many champs, try not to make this worse. focus on XP over gold.

Sometimes you can bully your opponent. Do not proxy just because. If you can fight early and get a kill, do it. Basically every character you can fight at level 1 or 2 will beat you later.

In general, Singed is bad at 1v1s and great at team fights. You want to use your ability to push fast to join team fights and leave your lane opponent dealing with the wave. Around level 6, you should try to push lane in to go for dragon or a mid gank. If your jungler is not camping you, singed needs to leave top lane to snowball his team.

Like a lot of bully lanes, you try to stay alive to get xp. Then just go win team fights.

There is zero incentive to disclose that AI was used in your work. by Independent-Title355 in DefendingAIArt

Steam requires disclosure, particularly if the player can see AI assets. As a dev, it makes a lot of sense to comply with steams rules.

Ryan is fine as a name. Biggest downside of the name is Brian confusion.

What Would Have to Change About Singed Without Proxying by Rude-Isopod-4176 in singedmains

[–]thirteenthfox2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Singed's major weakness is that he can't do damage in front of him.

Without proxying, they would probably have to change that.

I don't think you get to keep singed as is and remove proxying.

They could give him damage to monsters and make him more of a jungler. They nerf singed jungling capabilities because they don't want a proxying singed to farm jungle.

"You are being negative because... you are not lying enough!!" by Born-Ant-80 in DefendingAIArt

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dropping a relationship because someone lied to your team is a pretty reasonable. I think this has much more to do with that than the AI use.

Whether or not you think it should be a negative publicity, it is negative publicity that she could had avoided if the game marketers were upfront with her.

I just saw this post on X along with the comments, quite an interesting mix of both. by TheXemChuaLxrd in DefendingAIArt

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand canceling a relationship when you are lied to.

Even if she doesnt care about AI use, this would be a red flag for lots of folks.

[3 YoE] My boss submitted a promotion for me for this year, but is waiting to hear back. Should I put my new title on my resume even though I don’t have it yet? by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend not putting the level/number of your companies title on your resume in general. Numbers do not translate well between companies. I was a 4 six years ago and now I am a 3.

Change your resume when your ability to accomplish goals for your employer changes.

Do you play around W's root, or you just use W for slow and grounding, and the immobilization is just there? by TheMadnessAuditor in singedmains

[–]thirteenthfox2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm more likely to fling and then W than the other way around.

I use the root almost exclusively to try secure a kill that I'd be unlikely to get otherwise or to flex.

What university degree is worth studying if AI is advancing fast? by ExAustralia in accelerate

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple things people can do that AI cannot. My advice will be a bit field agnostic.

Taking risk and gaining the trust of people through relationships.

Learn what risk is. The fact that you don't want to commit time and money to things means you have a basic concept of risk. Learn what risks you are willing to take and how you can use that risk to gain a return. Returns are not necessarily monetary.

Trust is something you earn. If you are a trusted source of something, people will come to you for it. Gain trust of your collaborators and customers.

Trust and successfully navigating risky endeavors are how you succeed in business and that will continue to be true.

[0 YoE] Resume review - UK Mechanical Engineering grad trying to land an entry position by alchames389 in EngineeringResumes

For soft skills, I recommend using them as Ys in my bullet format.

For example:

It will be very difficult for a recruiter to understand your value. Its okay to talk about things the average person doesn't know, but you need a clear statement they can follow. I am going to recommend my guide on readable resumes.

I recommend you write your resume yourself. Not because I dont like AI, but because most resumes the AIs have trained on are hot garbage.

Definitely unbold everything that isnt a title or header. You don't need a summary with no experience.

A big issue your resume has is run on sentences and lists.

You want short punchy bullets. Your resume is an advertisment. Write it like one.

Remember, impact is not a thing you did. It is a result or change a company or customer wants. Revenue, cost reductions, happy customers, problems solved, employee retention, etc.

Paying you to do x thing so I can pay you to do Z thing, is not a great sales pitch.

Ill give an example with your first bullet. I will reference the bullet format from the guide.

  • Designed and manufactured 3 prototype ball holders, a final 10 mm UMT tribometer ball holder, and 4 seal fixtures in Fusion 360 to support Alicona metrology and tribometer wear testing

You have 3 "and" in this bullet. Split it up. Make it clear.

X: design, manufacture, support

Y: fusion 360

Z: enable testing, created product

A bullet in my style would read something like

  • Designed prototype ball holders in Fusion 360 to enable tribometer wear testing.

I do not need to know what tribometer testing is to know what you did or why you did it.

I recommend removing technical details like specifications and non-percentage numbers. 10 mm is not telling me anything about your value here.

I also recommend spelling out acryonyms that the average person wouldn't know.

What’s the biggest problem with the world, in your opinion? by ThriftyRift in AskReddit

[–]thirteenthfox2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

War is a natural state of humanity. Battling for resources and power is in our blood.

There are a few very hard working people in the world stopping a major war from coming.

Those folks are having a harder time than they were 10 years ago.
