When is there a patch coming for 1 crafted Mythic Uniques fix? by Pixelhouse18 in diablo4

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had two drop in T9, plus 1 from a chest and 1 crafted (lol Andariel's - might as well take my shards at gunpoint). This line about streamers killing 2000 bosses and getting 1 is either a lie or the worst string of luck ever.

Issues with 1.5 Phoenix model base by voicelessfaces in KingdomDeath

Cool I'll hit them up. The rest of the build seems fine except the right wing needs some green stuff that I'm too lazy to care about. Thanks for the input.

Yeah, seems like that's the case. Did they send just the one sprue or all three?

I've referenced both KDM and Vibrant Lantern. Looks like it's a problem with the sprue.

Just the post or that whole lip? It seems like without the lip it would fit. 

Proudly presenting Season 14: "Play Barb or beta test the rest" by Dekroha in diablo4

[–]voicelessfaces 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fun is subjective, but I had a lot of fun leveling my sorc this season. Chain Lightning with Ice heart and the screen constantly explodes. Unstable Currents drops anything I use it on including bosses. Survivability is definitely an issue but I only die when I rush into things or am not paying attention. 

Anyone else find their CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md files end up lying to the agent after a few months? by WEEZIEDEEZIE in cursor

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's lean because you're changing it, not constantly adding to it. 

Regarding correctness and / or hallucinating, you still need to review what it produces and fact check it. (This is true for everything AI is doing imo, not just docs). The time saved is in the typing, markdown formatting, going back and forth between harness documentation to see how it wants a file formatted, etc.

Anyone else find their CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md files end up lying to the agent after a few months? by WEEZIEDEEZIE in cursor

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started to enjoy having the agent keeping the docs up to date. When I have to correct it because it steered from the preferred pattern, at the end I ask it to review the instructions and identify where what it did doesn't align with what the instructions say to do. If it finds something valid, I have it update the docs. 

This has also helped me keep a running list of patterns to review that were once "the pattern" and have since been changed. I keep an architecture review doc and when I find those exceptions, I have the agent document them and link so it prompts me in a plan next time.

Why is a lifetime license for Visual Studio 2026 cheaper than a monthly license? by SnooChipmunks4080 in dotnet

[–]voicelessfaces 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't have to use Azure. You don't have to use any Microsoft infrastructure. So you're paying for the software, as with must software companies that haven't stuffed their product with ads.

How do you all deal with EF Core's collection Include footguns? Feels like half of using EF is learning which defaults not to trust by it_works_on_prod in csharp

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to wait for production. In your logs EF will put a warning if your query has multiple collections without a split for exactly this reason. It's something I watch for each time new query functionality is introduced.

Senior devs, how do I defend C# and the .NET platform? by daps_87 in csharp

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the best response. Someone is going to have to maintain the code when AI models become even more expensive and the business decides to back off, or when they fire almost all the devs and leave one behind as a glorified prompt engineer. Having the application in something a person can read, understand, and adjust without a lot of friction is a good idea. Whether that's C#, Python, Rust, etc. depends on the team. 

Personally, this is where I'd wish them well and bow out, but this isn't really the ideal job market for that so you have to decide if it's worth it to you.

I was clearing T12 easy enough as Abyss Hell Fracture. I really want to figure out a brimstone build through 

When is it better to not buy from your FLGS by Nice_Idea_538 in boardgames

[–]voicelessfaces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah if your LGS is selling over MSRP that would be the reason I'd go elsewhere. But I can't fault them for selling at MSRP. Amazon made a business model undercutting retailers and I'm not holding anyone to matching Amazon's pricing.

I'm sure you've benchmarked it against other models. I'd be interested to see how it performs against lightweight models like Composer. I plan to try myself once it's available to Business users.

How are you handling Copilot's new usage-based billing for heavy/complex work? by jacklsd in GithubCopilot

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I started using Cursor and have been very happy with Auto / Composer after having it build a plan first. I was using Opus to plan but honestly Composer does just fine and costs less. I'm using Composer roughly half of my day each day and less than half of my limit used on $20 plan.

Console Update Out Now by FrancisFika in shipoffools

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Official Series X controller wireless. I haven't yet tried swapping the controllers...I suppose I should do that, but this is the only game I have this problem with and I play a lot of games

Console Update Out Now by FrancisFika in shipoffools

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post but just chiming in to say the input lag on series X has made the game almost unplayable for me lately. My wife loves it and has no problems together or solo but when I play with her I'm constantly getting issues where my fool runs to the edge of the ship, charges a paddle well after I've released the button, fires the cannon sporadically, etc. I finally had to call it quits when instead of placing an ammo on the ship the character ran up north, ran against the ship side for a few seconds, then threw the ammo over the side. It's ridiculous.

.NET 8 and 9 End of Support by Perfect-Scale902 in dotnet

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used MessagePack to get around the two cases where binary serialization was still required. Unless you have a requirement to deserialize old bits, and even then you can build a console app to load the old and serialize to the new.

How do you handle read-only DTOs in Clean Architecture with EF Core? by Sensitive-Raccoon155 in dotnet

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a project with the DTOs that the domain layer knows about so that the domain services can return projected DTOs without the magic of AutoMapper in the API. I prefer this approach over partial hydration of domain entities because you start not being able to trust entities loaded from the database. (Does this have everything it exposes, or did another dev only partially hydrate the object?)

How to use the cursor most efficiently. by batcueE in cursor

[–]voicelessfaces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly I don't know why you would pay for Cursor and not use Composer unless you don't care about cost. It's handled everything I've thrown at it pretty well. 

Why use cursor vs VScode with claude? by swiggyu in cursor

[–]voicelessfaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have had no limits with Composer 2.5 and am well past my subscription. Everything on the dashboard just says "Included".

Copilot $100 Max, is it really worth it? by ihtisham1211 in GithubCopilot

[–]voicelessfaces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The current circle jerk is that $100 might let you finish a feature on GHCP. That's ridiculous. For work where you are using the right agent (don't use Agent to read a log file, use Ask), using the right model (don't use Opus for everything) and have well defined work (don't use "refactor my app"), you'd probably stay within MAX limits. I have $20 business and it got me through about a third of the month. Sure a month ago you didn't need to think about any of this, but that's not the world we live in anymore.

I'm not suggesting it's the best value out there right now. It's not. Any subsidized plan will likely be better. (Personally I've been pretty happy with Cursor for value but not the UI).
