I mean an API call isn’t hard, it cuts down in the amount of resumes probably meaning your resume will be more likely to be looked at. And it let’s then know you know the very basics, I’ve seen some shit on recruiting hell forums and I’m ok with this one. You don’t even have to retype anything since the resume field is just a link.

The cringy stuff is “rockstar developer” and ninja, etc. Those are always red flags to me

No evidence, but what is different this time is an actual legal complaint with the IG with a lot of info the public can’t see. Grusch’s claims are fantastic and sound down right crazy, but his story has stayed the same. Plus with him being an intelligence agent for years with multiple government officials saying he’s been trustworthy in the past.

I look at it as either there’s some faction if the government that for some reason wants us to believe there’s aliens or he’s not been fed lies and there’s aliens and both are pretty interesting. It also was pretty bipartisan in the hearing, I was pretty surprised to see AOC there instead of just a bunch of right wing war mongerers looking to use it as an excuse to bump military funding a bit more, and she had some great questions for Grusch.

Unfortunately if everything he says is true it would be all classified so we wouldn’t hear it yet anyway making it convenient to lie, but why have a legal complaint with the IG if he just wanted to lie for fame? We’ve seen other UFO grifters make tons of money from people with way less effort. It’s far more interesting than the normal UFO stuff just because everything seems to be handled so properly for an absolutely insane claim and either way it’s going to be interesting to see what is going on, if we ever do.

The second feels like the first but better, they built on what was there and added a class/subclass system. I played through the first a couple of times but I think the new archetype system in the second adds a lot of replayability and I’ll do more than just two characters in this one probably unless I completely forget about it when Armored Core comes out. Also the world generation seems way more varied this time around at first glance

You might like Monster Hunter Stories then, you play as a rider in those befriending and raising the monsters. I haven’t played them myself but they seem pretty well received.

The footage from other YouTubers like Vaati was only a few selected missions from Chapter 1 and this shows the same missions so spoilers should be extremely minimal. Your AC will probably be very different too depending on what you build so in my opinion it’ll be pretty safe if you’re okay with a few missions in Chapter 1 being spoiled. The end of the video has the final boss of Chapter 1 so you could stop at 11 minutes in to avoid that but even then AC isn’t like Souls at all so spoilery stuff is way less damaging to the experience in my opinion.

My 3080 (10 GB VRAM) was having trouble even on High and I had to drop to Medium. It does seem to be a VRAM thing though as I recently rebuilt and my 7900 XT (20 GB VRAM) can do max textures fine. I hope they can sort that out because the VRAM on the 3070 and 3080 should be able to handle High fine.

Yeah, I got a Samsung Odyssey HMD cheap (for a VR headset, ~$300) while they were in production and I used my headset to play Half-Life: Alyx, Phasmophobia, and Boneworks. Alyx was very well polished (for a VR game) and nothing came close to that. The rest is varying levels of jank and it will take about 20 mins to set up the headset every time when I could boot up any other game in less than a minute.

And on top of that anything that wasn’t those 3 games just didn’t feel like it was worth the work to play for me. Boneworks got close to Alyx in terms of polish but if someone was prone to motion sickness at all it would be unplayable. I haven’t ever been motion sick in my life but my stomach turned the first time the game “dropped” me down a hole. And Phasmo while it was far more immersive and scary in the headset it just wasn’t worth the hassle of setting up the headset only to get a headache in 20 mins of playing because the glare was not great on my headset making dark rooms hard to see in. Better headsets might fix a lot of those issues but the price point, ease of use, and QoL features are not in favor of it ever being more than a party gimmick.

The average person isn’t going to want to pay what I did for a few good games that might make them motion sick and a lot of janky garbage. And now most headsets are more expensive than that unless you want the Meta ones that are locked down.

Yeah, that’s a really good change. The rest seems so strange after the last patch though

Everything goes with vuln/crit though because that’s the best general damage stat. Every class can vuln super easily and crit is always just generally good, if we had vuln split into phys/elemental vulns that could potentially top out at higher numbers than the general vuln that would be cool but as it is designed now every class will always stack those 2 stats until they’re nerfed into the ground and considered useless. And Crit just hinges on so many affixes and it’s so generally good with all damage types that it’s here to stay as like you said % damage is way to specific with what types of damage it buffs. If they had nerfed those stats but then turned around and gave us itemization to work around the nerfs that would actually be interesting instead of just a flat nerf to every build in the game.

This looks like a bunch of actually awful changes. Pretty surprisingly since the tone of last patch was to make everything a little better. I’ll give it a go but I have a feeling I’ll be skipping this season until these get reverted…

Yeah, they probably grabbed any highly popular “subreddit” names just for some weird power grab. The good thing is when federation is working again someone who actually wants to make a good magazine for one of those can make it on another instance and any other kbin instance can subscribe to it.
