It's +50% segments from clicking the vortex at the end, so not quite "double segments"

I've been on the consulting side of this several times and it never made sense to me either. It got to the point that we just started scheduling meetings with just the engineers or taking them to lunch so they could tell us everything they knew about that needed fixed or documented. It may sound sleezy, but we were open about it and we'll never replicate years of experience they have with the project. On big projects they almost always know exactly where the issues are, so we can report on them and they end up getting fixed, but no one listened until we put it on a report.

It's really bizarre to me. I hope it's one of those generational things that fades out over time. The security space will always have it to some extent because there is more weight given to outside providers not having a bias, but the end result is often worse because said providers are usually garbage and the employees generally already know what needs to be done but no one bothers to listen.

What's also been mind blowing for me is how you can label yourself a consultant and no one fact checks anything. As a FTE you go through a rigorous interview process, but as a consultant people just assume you know what you are talking about, rarely do you get interrogated about anything. We've white labeled for folks who were absolutely clueless and made some big sales just to contract the work off to others. The first sale we did, I was fully prepared to be grilled on the sales call but it just never happened. Whole model is just...dumb.

The problem with consulting is you are bound to the ups and downs of contracts. Being a FTE provides more consistency, as a consultant when work dries up for whatever reason, you either end up unpaid for a while or laid off, there are a lot of peaks and valleys. If you are self employed, getting paid is a *** nightmare and dealing with health insurance is really painful. People rarely pay their bills on time and you are lucky if they pay them in 6 months with net 30 terms. I'm trying to make a FTE transition for this reason, I just can't handle the stress of dealing with waiting to be paid whenever someone decides to get around to it anymore.


Yea, I should include the amount of the deduction when I think about it. I just see the bill and it makes me want to throw up every time, but we do deduct it and I didn't consider that.

We tried to get plans through our business but we're in different states and the cost was much higher, but it is also more flexible when it comes to things like active dates and starting plans. The ACA rules are really strict and the policies, at least in NC, are not very good. I pay $2kish/mo for a 30/60 plan that's 9k/18k OOPM (in/out). We end up out of network a lot due to my sons health problems combined with weirdness in our local hospital chain so we end up paying an *** amount in medical bills every year on top of it. My business partner OTOH pays $4k/mo but pays nothing out of pocket, that's not even an option for us here.

Subsidized plans get greater protection, are cheaper (ofc since they are subsidized), and I gather are better, but we're outside the range that qualifies.

I get this is kind of tongue-in-cheek but...there's no more "reason" to make a Caladbolg than there is "reason" to make a Helheim. You make them because they do a lot of damage.

I find it really strange that in an MMO it's perfectly normal to chase +1 light elemental resistance for your THF idle set on the off chance you're clipped by a stray Diffusion Ray while kiting, but we draw the line at getting another 10% DPS on DRK (made up numbers) because "you don't need it."

I'm not having fun at all through 3 episodes. It feels like the Yen storyline is the only one with any forward movement. Geralt and Co. are just walking through the woods and Ciri is hanging out with some kids instead of you know, hiding from every single person chasing her.

I don't need any more currency, mostly because of ambuscade. Honorable mention to campaigns.

If you started now, you'd have 10 REMA just from running ambuscade by 2029. Unfortunately, you probably still won't have a reason to make a prime ><;;

So far I wouldn't say it's any worse than the third season. That 3rd season was pretty dogturdy.

Only comparing it to the rest of the show, having no book or game knowledge.

Double segments campaign next month… I didnt even know we had a campaign for that…..

With Ongo I think the only real "you lose" situation is the sub 40% Aura being Magic Acc Down and not getting a 5 or 6 on WC. We've also tried 2 KI's before and it just never worked out well. Ongo isn't really "hard" until the second add / uber regen sub 40% land when you start running short on damage boosting JA's.

Definitely not going to be a good season. They split the main characters up again, so three different storylines. Two of which will probably go absolutely nowhere. Geralt 2.0 is also unremarkable.

Just got home, gonna cook some dinner while having the Witcher on.

Hello again!

Our 9B Static will now be joining the hunt to fill for members like the rest of the server haha. ^^;

Our run times are M - F, 4:30 PM EST/8:30 PM GMT (9:30 PM GMT next week) Entry and are looking to fill 2 Roles;

1) We are currently in need to replace for a permanent role on DNC as our current DNC will now be stepping away from the game for an indeterminate amount of time.

2) We also have a temporary slot/consistent sub (Fill in from now until December 2025 to January 2026) for BRD as our regular static BRD will be back from deployment around that time.

We do retain some job flexibility but prefer to find the aforementioned 2 roles. Always a bonus to score someone with experience, proper gear and routing knowledge but we are open to coaching should the right candidate come up.

Thanks for your time, please leave a response here, through DM's or in game /tell if you're interested and wanting to commit to the schedule mentioned.

I have a solid job, nice coworkers, can work hybrid. Even with all that *** 5 days a week.

4 day work week when? Work sucks even when you love your job.

Wait wait did we just start off onto "they 'fixed' it, now it sucks" without anybody talking about the Wheel of Time adaptation? Well let me fix that!

diverse casting is cool and all but the two rivers was a goddamn monoculture having trouble with inbreeding, formed from the descendants of one fallen kingdom, this is the one specific situation where your main cast should all look similar (except the main character who is very specifically singled out for looking like an outsider)

did you not even read how the magic system works, at all, no the ancient prophesied destroyer/savior can not possibly be anyone in the group because souls are gendered and magic is tied to that, and there was already a different counterpart in the lore for versions of the story where the genders are reversed

longbow longbow longbow they explicitly describe the region's longbows as being as tall as their wielder, think like english longbow not olympic shortbow

"hey wouldn't it be funny if we killed off this secondary character early" no no it would not people liked these characters and also they influenced so damn many events through the story and now nope let's just forget that and hey also let's steal the thunder from somebody whose whole arc was leading into the very same scene you decided to just hand out willy-nilly

"feckin'" seriously really come on the books took great pains to establish an in-world vocabulary of colorful curses and that's what you decide to go with instead

Kids, never let Amazon adapt something you have fond memories of.

People will always need more alexandrite and heavy metal. Not everyone is on track to finish a prime weapon by 2029.

Nobody is running ambuscade in 2029 unless those goblins are bringing some armor upgrade. +3 or gtfo

Here's a related story:
my company moved into a new building 2022ish (still in covid/hybrid mode). Never really had much issues in the original building and I had an office (not a cube!) Management said "its not bright enough".

New building is a mile or so closer to my house (so that's a plus) guessing its maybe ~6 years old or so. And there's a gym in it (a lame gym, but its free so I can't complain) and the positives stop there.

I could rant about a couple things (cubicles, dumb motivational slogans painted on the walls etc...) but what grates me more than anything is the near constant problems this building has. Several doors have been broken for multiple days, its been under construction and the methods of egress change, recently the main door was broken for ~3 days, could not get in. The elevators were broken for a day (I don't care I use the stairs) and then corners started falling of the building, one is strange, but a 2nd one fell off a couple weeks later, its starting to look like the roman forum here, there's been random issues with power and hvac too, I get things break but the frequency and mundane things (doors?) and nothing is fixed expeditiously. But that doesn't stop the property manager from sending out nasty grams about somebody smoking in the parking lot or having a car detailing service do their car (neither me, but when the main entrance door to your building will not let people enter for 3 days, i'm not sure you get to complain about anything anyone is doing.) I'd accuse it of having a poltergeist but no poltergeist would be dumb enough to haunt this place.

I mean I've seriously had to wonder if part of the building was gonna fall on me as I've entered or exited this place.

You now remember Puppetmaster.

Hmmm… I don’t want to work, I went yesterday?

I thought this was a non-FFXI topic, so why are you providing my exact thoughts on Sortie???

Did someone say burned out???my 5th day off in 3 years is fast approaching! cant wait!
be your own boss they said...

Premature bump for next month. Thank God we get a break from auras, lol.

maybe, hear me out, a... Final one?

I've ran with this crew when I have an extra tag, or on my alt when they needed a rep. It's always been a clean straight foward 9 boss run without issues. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a steady group. Chill dudes without egos.

New World shutting down clearly means we'll get a crazy player count bump and a new expansion.

Believe it.

Fantasy

Mewing lullaby counts. I'm not sure if that means all blood pacts do, only blood pacts with a damage value (the field is used in mewing's packet even if it's not damage), or just mewing for some reason. Note that job abilities and WS are under the same category in many of the game's systems, so they might be combined.

I would think it's the same wall everywhere, and someone would've noticed if steps worked on Aminon. What about things like violent flourish and shield bash, though? They do damage, I'd most like to see testing on that.

What's that thing called
When a group gets together and pools shares to try to influence a company?

Well doing v25s it's very apparent when the wall is engaging but I still don't fully get it
Like I understand it better due to the article and the posts

Example
Being Blu on mboze
My starting dmg is ~40k+ with expac
Depending on debuffs etc

And then it hovers around 30k sometimes drops to 25k 20k
Which made me wonder if I am just spamming it too much or I need to alternate myself as well

I get such tunnel vision on this fight with so many responsibilities
But the Regen on this fight sub 40 is such a challenge
The wall can really break you

How accurate is this statement on the wiki, which I have never heard anyone mention before?

:

My understanding as it was explained somewhere here (based on JP comment) is that your WS is nerfed based on how many times it occurs in the last 5 WS/blood pacts used against the mob. So, if two people rotate WS it'll usually be:
WS1 -> WS2 -> WS1 -> WS2 -> WS1 -> WS2, and each use will have 2 prior uses (-25%)

if 4 people rotate, you have WS1->WS2->WS3->WS4->WS1->WS2 which typically only includes one prior use (10%)

if you are the only person wsing, you still need to rotate at least 2 ws(preferably more) or you'll be sitting at the -85% for having 5 consecutive matching WS in the prior 5.. i don't think there's a time component any more
